My Mac won't wake up!

Has anyone had the problem that when the Mac goes to sleep, sometimes it won't wake up and you have to reboot?

I'm running OSX 10.1.3.

I would up date to 10.1.5 (o even X.2) and see what happends

Kiss it on the lips, maybe it'll turn into a Prince!!!

my iBook will fall asleep and refuse to wake up if I run the batteries completely flat, and usually for one or two minutes after I put the power back on.

Don't throw cold water over it. I'd advise against taking it for a brisk run around the block, too ...

Yes, mine does that too. But I don't worry about it. I just set my system to never go to sleep, and it works fine.

Oh, almost forgot, you might want to stand or sit near to your Mac, and clap your hands very loudly, saying "time to wake up". I found this method of waking my brother very early in the morning to be quite effective, though, I usually stand in the doorway when I do it (fully clothed), for obvious reasons.
