it looks like the link to the 1.3.5 version is giving a 500 error. It would be great if you could fix this as i'd like to use insomniax for 10.5. Thanks for all the work on this by the way - great app
does not work at all. ill enable sleep mode and close my mac while playing a song on itunes and my computer still shuts off. The music stops and when i reopen my computer its black and everything's paused meaning the app had no effect whatsoever. I don't understand. Do people get hired to say that it works because so far I feel like I've done everything to get it to work and keep playing my music but it doesn't. Also even though it doesn't work it still says sleep mode enabled with the blue guys eyes open & when i click disable it does nothing.
Does just what it says and what I needed: keep my closed MacBook running. The hotkey and the ability to load Insomnia when AC is plugged in are very welcome, too.
Which results in (/var/log/system.log)...
Mar 21 13:17:55 rge3s-MacBook-Pro com.apple.kextd[10]: Can't load /Users/rge3/Library/Application Support/InsomniaX/Insomnia_r6.kext - no code for running kernel's architecture.
My Powerbook G4 started sleeping yesterday (possibly due to overheating problem) even though I was working on my computer and keeps on doing so after I wake it up. Today, it finally slept all the way through and I had to take out the battery to shut down and reboot.
I want to try downloading Insomniax for my OS 10.4.11. Does anyone know where I can download the previous version? I can't seem to find it online. I really really need it to try and see if it cures my laptop's sleeping problems. Thanks.
@ c3lsius: I had the same problems with my Powerbook; turned out to be a malfunctioning heat sensor. Check out this page: http://knit1spin1.wordpress.com/2007/11/14/narcoleptic-powerbook-cured/
It's really quite simple. My PB now works flawlessly again.
I've tried downloading this a few times, to my mac book pro with leopard, it downloads and installs normally but doesn't work at all, when I open insomniax it does not show up in the top control bar, I can't control anything. Some help please?
By the way, it also flips my macbook's camera on and off, as if I had closed and opened the lid every few minutes.
Please help me get rid of your software.
Hello, developers of insomniax. I've tried your software, because in my old PC I liked to close the lid and leave downloads active, as well as other internet software that refreshes constantly, and Mr. Jobs hasn't taken time as of yet for the groundbreaking research of this feature.
So I downloaded InsomniaX, which I thought was as a possible solution. Unfortunately (and I appreciate your effort), it still cut the internet in My Leppard-based Macbook (Mac OS X 10.5.3 - 9D34 - Kernel Version: Darwin 9.3.0), and so I went on to remove it.
... and I had the usual "absence of uninstall"problem: I made sure I disabled "sleepless mode" (or whatever), then quit the program. Then I removed the .app from the App folder, and looked for the kext, which was in the /InsomniaX folder in ~/Library/Application Support, I think. I moved the folder with the kext to a backup corner of my HD, as I did the app, and there I was.
Surprise, surprise: As I found out the next morning, whenever my computer goes (lid open) to sleep, as normal, prior-to-insomniax energy saver instructions tell him to, I cannot wake him up anymore by sliding my finger across the trackpad, or by just pressing any key!
I have to actually close the lid and open it again. It's not only wildly annoying, but also shortens the life of the lid mechanism.
Forgive me if I'm somewhat disappointed that the program wrote a kext on my mac-equivalent-"registry" by my merely double-clicking the app, without any prior warning. (It just gave me an "I did it" acknowledge screen.)
Please instruct me on how to revert this picture, since the mere removal of the folder and the kext didn't do any good. Since InsomniaX has likely written something on my "registry", I urgently need to know what to do in my specific case. I have no Terminal experience whatsoever and need your guidance.
I have the same problem. I love the idea but the program does not work. I had no problems durring the first few months of use. What happened and how can I do a full uninstall. I will try an uninstaller such as appzapper.

The one draw I encountered is that it sometimes peeks at CPU usage. But most time it is ok.
Is there any obvious pattern to the CPU usage?
