Imac not auto sleeping

I'm not sure what is keeping my imac from auto sleeping. I have all the programs closed except dashboard and finder and my preferences are set to put the machine to sleep after 10 min. My monitor goes to sleep but not my machine. I am able to put my machine to sleep manually. Any ideas?

Try resetting the SMC, it controls things like sleep.

  • Mac Pro does not auto-sleep (manual sleeping if fine!)

    I have a small annoyance with my 2009 (Nehalem) Mac Pro I am wondering if someone can help with, or suggest something, please:
    The Mac Pro does not auto-sleep; ever. I have played around with the sleep time settings, and enabled or disabled the 'sleep drives' option, but to no avail. Mac Pro will stay on, no matter if I am logged on OR even on the 'log on users' screen.
    That said, I can sleep the Mac Pro manually at any time, and without any problems; it stays asleep without a hitch, and wake-up is flawless.
    There is nothing in the console log that would tell me why the auto sleep doesn't function. I deleted the sleep plist and re-set, but again, no change.
    Any ideas? Not sure what could signal the system to not do auto-sleep?
    It's running 10.6.3.
    Cheers,
    Dan

    Exactly the same problems as those described above: forced sleep works (by using the power button or closing the lid) but automatic sleep doesn't (using 'Energy Saving' preferences).
    Tried every single piece of advice here and on other posts: reset PRAM/ SMC, verified disc, repaired permissions, deleted the power saving preference files, cleared caches & history, restarted in every conceivable mode... The only things that worked were safe boot and creating a new user account which means it must be a software issue.
    Disabled/ removed/ paused/ reinstalled every piece of software I could but to no avail. The most frustrating thing? Having to wait for 5 mins every time I tried something to check whether the damned thing was going to go to sleep.
    In the end, and in desperation, I took the advice of Dino X and downloaded PleaseSleep. Success! A genius piece of software. It forces sleep when the Energy Saver preferences cut in but, even if I don't set exceptions, it won't force sleep if there's a DVD playing (for example).
    Only had the Mac for a few months and I'll never go back to that other, unmentionable operating system; the Mac's just too good but I'm vexed that I'm having to use third party software to get it to work as it should (and was) - feels like a bit of a Win*s solution to me.

  • IMac will not auto sleep after 10.5.7 update with Safari 4 Beta

    I've noticed that my new iMac 24" will not automatically sleep after updating to 10.5.7. Actually, that's not completely true, I've just discovered that if Safari Beta 4 (latest update) is open the iMac will never sleep automatically, but that if Safari is not open, automatic sleep works perfectly as it always did with 10.5.6. I've repeated this test numerous times and it's always consistent. Anyone have any ideas how to solve this?

    Sorry that I do not remember where I saw this, could be MacFixIt, but the advice that I saw for issues with the 10.5.7 delta that comes through Software Update for folks with 10.5.6, was to download and overlay the 10.5.7 Combo as Carolyn has suggested, and then to download and install the most recent beta for Safari 4.
    Of course this is best done without multitasking while the installations are happening, as well as unplugging and shutting down all other processes; external attachments and even Bluetooth and Air Port. Prepare for the installs by rebooting to your Install DVD and use Disk Utility in the Utilities Menu to verify and repair any issues with your boot volume, followed by rebooting into your account and using DU in Apps/Utilities to Repair Disk Permissions before and after the installs.

  • If I set my iMac not to sleep, but set hard drives to sleep when possible will they sleep?

    If I set my iMac to never sleep, but my Hard Drives to sleep when possible why don't they sleep?

    They don't sleep because your Mac is using them (as your Mac is turned on). If they go to sleep, you may damage the external drives because your Mac doesn't unmount the drives first

  • Imac not fully sleeping?

    When I put my imac to sleep it seems to fully sleep just fine and the indicator light on the front goes on and off like it should. However, when I let it just fall to sleep by itself after not using it for about 15 minutes the monitor will go off but the status light stays on fully. Is my computer not sleeping properly when it puts itself to sleep? I also notice a whirring noise every so often when it puts itself to sleep but not when I put it to sleep manually. Many thanks.

    You are references two different modes. Go to system preferences>energy saver. Under the sleep tab there are two options - put computer to sleep and put display to sleep - each with their own time setting. When you put the computer to sleep using the apple icon>sleep method you are doing the entire computer. When you let it fall asleep, like after 15 minutes (which is probably the amount of time set for the display to sleep), it is just the display turning off (sleeping).

  • Dual 2.5 G5 won't auto sleep

    Ever since I updated to 10.4.7, my dual G5 won't automatically sleep after any amount of time I set it to. The computer will sleep if I force it to either using the keyboard shortcut or through the Apple menu. The computer will also auto sleep in the other computer accounts on the same machine. For whatever reason, it will not auto sleep on my account. I few weeks ago, I created a brand new alias and moved all my files from my non-sleeping account to the new one. The auto sleep for for a few days before it stopped working.
    I've tried trashing plists, preferences, removing USB devices, stopped file sharing, and more. I changed all my settings and active programs to exactly mirror the ones on the working account - but, nothing seems to be working.
    I haven't tried flashing the PRAM yet, but I figure the problem is elsewhere since the computer will sleep on other accounts. Under my System Preferences, the extra panes I have are ATI Displays, DivX, Little Snitch, Nortorn Antivirus, Stuffit, and WMV Player. These panes also exist on the other accounts.
    Anyone have any ideas what else may be causing this problem? I'm almost positive it's software related, but I don't know how to troubleshoot further given that I've already tried to make my account mirror that of a working one.
    Thanks in advance.
    Dual 2.5 G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Well Norton is famous for causing problems for Mac users, just search, but perhaps it could be another problem.
    Open the System Prefs>Energy Saver and set the auto-sleep to something really low.
    Now leave the pane open and unlocked and just wait for the sleep to kick in.
    Wake it up and set the time to a little bit longer, enough that you know it's not the minimum and this time close the pane.
    If this fails, offload Norton and try again.
    Norton has had a few application exploits, something to think about, also most anything from Microsoft seems to continously have security exploits.
    Also you should be cloning your boot drive occassionally, visit Carbon Copy Cloners forums for donationware software and read the "Before you clone" in their forums.

  • Auto sleep

    is there anyway to make my ibook g4 not auto sleep when the lid i closed. i want to be able to shut the lid and have the computer act as if nothing happened.
    thanks

    You should not run your iBook with the lid closed. Apple has never really specifically said why, but they make it clear here not to:

  • Auto-sleep won't work when web pages auto-refresh

    Dear Apple,
    Around 4 years ago, I noticed that my computer stopped going to sleep. I first noticed it shortly after adopting Gmail for my email platform and was subsequently able to isolate the issue down to Gmail and other websites, such as Huffington Post, which auto-refresh. Apparently, any website that auto-refreshes at shorter intervals than the auto-sleep is set to kick in, prevent the computer's auto-sleep function from activating.
    I have spoken at length with AppleCare about this issue and understand that this is "by design." For instance, we wouldn't want the computer to constantly go to sleep while watching a movie or downloading and conversely, if we are actively working at our computers it's nice that Gmail auto-refreshes and keeps us appraised of incoming mail. However, since the vast majority of users now leave their browsers with multiple tabs open and due to the fact that more and more websites now auto-refresh, the auto-sleep function has become outdated and non-functional. While users can always manually put their computers to sleep, everyone at some time or another forgets to do so. This is exactly why computers are supposed to auto-sleep in the first place. Aggregated across millions of users, this results in a huge waste of electricity.
    I've been writing/calling Apple (through AppleCare and the online feedback form) about this issue for 4 years now. I keep hoping that with each operating system release, some sort of "smart auto-sleep" function will be incorporated that will recognize when websites auto-refresh and still allow auto-sleep to kick in. Unfortunately, this does not appear to be the case in Lion.
    I work in the energy efficiency field, specifically in lighting, and care deeply about this issue. I consider Apple to be an industry leader on this issue as well. I'm not familiar with the technical side of this issue, but I assume that with the right type of programming, the operating system could override a webpage's auto-update feature and activate auto-sleep, while not interfering with functions where a user would not want the computer to go to sleep, such as watching a movie. With Lion, Apple has focused its energy on making the computer adjust to the user,rather than the user adjusting to the computer. Yet, in this case, it appears to be the other way around.
    It is time for Apple to update the auto-sleep function so that it takes into account websites that auto-refresh. When I set my computer to auto-sleep after so many minutes, I want it to do so, regardless of whether I have a browser with auto-updating websites open. Apple must take this issue seriously, as the wasted electricity is too important to ignore any longer.
    Sincerely,
    An Energy-Conscious User

    I am obviously talking to Apple AND I posted this letter here, because a lot users seem confused about why their computers won't sleep. Even most AppleCare reps are confused. In the past, I couldn't find much in the way of explanations pointing to this issue, so I thought I post it here in case other people are looking for an explanation.
    The auto-sleep function was built before websites auto-updated and needs to be updated to accomodate them. For the average user, it doesn't make sense for the computer not to sleep just because Gmail is open. Just because some website auto-refreshes in my browser, doesn't mean I never want my computer to sleep. By the same token, if I wanted to turn off auto-sleep I could easily do so from within Energy Saver Preferences. The two should be independent, so the user has the choice.
    Why should I have to close my browser every time I walk away from my computer in order for it to sleep? I've acknowledged that in certain circumstance it makes sense for the computer not to auto-sleep: watching a movie, uploading, etc, but Apple has already accounted for those instances because the computer does not auto-sleep when those programs are running. All I'm suggesting is making the auto-sleep mechanism more sophisticated so that it isn't overridden by websites auto-refreshing. 
    Why the negative attitude, dwb? Based on the amount of time you spend in these discussion forums, you obviously never turn your computer off, so this doesn't really affect you. Maybe it's time to step outside and get some fresh air?

  • Powerbook g3 will  not auto reconnect to iMac airport after sleep

    iMac is a late-2006 intel, airport extreme. I'm internet sharing. If the powerbook sleeps, it will not auto-reconnect after waking. I can't even enter the password to reconnect; it displays an error message. I have to turn off-and-on the iMac's airport, and then the powerbook auto-reconnects.

    Welcome to the discussions, Dan!
    If the powerbook sleeps, it will not auto-reconnect after waking.
    The AirPort Extreme is "always on", there are no "sleep" related adjustments on this device. The "sleep" issue is with your powerbook or the operating system that the powerbook is using.
    Suggest that you post in the PowerBook Forum for your specific question.

  • IMac not sleeping after upgrading to Lion

    Hi
    I installed Lion last week and have noticed that my iMac does not go to sleep following the upgrade.  The screen shuts off, but the computer is still running as Mail and other applications are still active.  I have read some of the solutions that people found in earlier posts with the same issue, but they are not applicable to my situation.  I do not have Internet Sharing active nor have I ever tried using Console. 
    Has anyone had success solving this issue?  Is it only a quad core iMac issue as the laptop situation seems to be able to be solved?  Or do I need to contact Apple and start a case?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Seth

    Ajay
    Thank you!  For whatever reason, resetting the PRAM did work and solved the problem as now my iMac goes to sleep properly.  Sorry for the delay in responding, but I wanted to test it for 2 days to make sure.
    Thanks again!!

  • Wi-fi connection does not auto connect on 21.5-inch mid 2010 imac help?

    Wi-fi connection does not auto connect on 21.5-inch mid 2010 imac running OS X 10.8.3 (12D78) help?  My wife's imac with OS X 10.6.8  has no problem getting on wi-fi automatically as well as my Ipad 2 running iOS 6.1.2

    If you get a green light then you did not do a factory reset - you must disconnect all wires and follow the instructions above - you will end up with the Extreme blinking yellow - then use the Airport utility to set up the Extreme - you can put in your own names for the network, device etc. - when it comes to the passwords you can use ones of your own choice - it is not asking for the old one - if it is then it was not reset completely - try to reset again if necessary - it may take more than one try - if it still asks for a password then use "public" - it is the default - once you have set it up with your new information, and you have a green light, test the connection with your computer - if you can access the internet then you are all set - then try to a use the Apple TV with the new password - if the computer still asks for a password, then it is asking for the computer password and not the extreme or network password - I can't help you with that - you would have to ask that question on the iMac discussion group.

    (SMC reset=  Shut down, disconnect power cord for 10 seconds, reconnect power cord, wait 5 more seconds, turn computer back on)
    but it is slightly different:   (PMU REST = Shut computer down, disconnect power cord for 10+ seconds, reconnect power cord WHILE SIMULTANEOOUSLY PRESSING POWER BUTTON, let off power button for a few seconds, then press power button again to restart the mac mini.)

  • IMac goes to sleep unexpectedly, Finder issues with flash drives - related?

    My iMac falls asleep for no known reason, often in the middle of active use. (Similar problem recently described in thread with messageID=11829917.)
    Sleep onset is frequent but seems to vary based on both currently-running software and attached devices (particularly USB flash drives). It will almost always wake up when I hit the space bar afterward, but might sleep again within a minute or two, then not for an hour or more. The sleep occurs with little notice (brief stall of display, sometimes enough time to click on another app window and bring that forward before the screen goes dark), and 95% of the time the computer wakes up after hitting the spacebar. The other 5 % of the time the display reappears but the entire OS is frozen and usually requires unplugging the power cable. There are other symptoms in the Finder - more below. Once in a while the fan revs up like a WWII fighter plane taking off from a carrier, but this is unusual and all the really irritating stuff also happens without this symptom, which usually stops on its own. Immediately after reawakening error messages are displayed to report that flash drives were improperly disconnected (Tell me about it! This has been the case for several months whether the computer goes to sleep by itself or if I put it there manually.)
    The computer seems to go into sleep mode most frequently when not-particularly-demanding graphics (Photoshop Elements and Adobe Reader) and video (QuickTime Pro 7.6.4) apps are running. Turning these off makes nod-offs less frequent but doesn't stop it entirely. When video thumbnails are displayed in Finder windows a lot of time may be required to load the data and this often paralyzes everything else AND this also seems to be a trigger for a nod-off (i.e. QuickTime not necessary to make the computer choke). This is highly variable and some video clips load quickly (< 20 sec), while others take several minutes, and this doesn't necessarily correlate with file size.
    Another factor is whether flash drives are connected - these seem to make the nod-offs more frequent AND Finder regularly loses communication to these both while just sitting there and also in the middle of file transfers. A very early 250 MB drive (Lexar - vintage 2004) will always communicate, but different USB2-capable drives all are either unreliable (Lexar 8 GB and KData 4 GB both < 1 yr old) or apparently dead (Lexar 2 GB ~ 2 yr old). The failures may be damaging the drives - they are inconsistent-to-bad at communicating with my MacBook Pro. I know this sounds like the drives are at fault, but there are things which make me suspect the OS (both computers use the same version): 1) different flash drives display the same on-again-off-again behavior AND the 2) the 2 GB drive that hasn't communicated with my Macs in over a month has no trouble talking with my wife's WinXP computer. When communication isn't working with these drives, they do not show up in either Finder or Disk Utility. When the Mac-dead 2 GB Lexar is plugged into either computer and I launch Disk Utility, the initial scan for drives never finishes so I have to force quit. (When they are working, on the iMac the large drives only appear in Finder if I go to User and press Command-uparrow (to go up a directory layer) - in columns display mode nothing appears in the left-hand column.
    (The following describes a set of problems I've had a little longer and which may or may not be related):
    At times the Finder loses some but not all functions:
    1) Sometimes files in the Trash can't be ejected* even when all apps are turned off
    2) usually when problem 1) is observed, no keyboard commands work: nothing happens when pressing Command-W, Command-uparrow or Command-N to open a new window. Text typed will not be entered to change filenames (but this can still be done by typing the desired text in TextEdit, copying there and selecting and pasting with mouse commands.)
    <* I have downloaded an app for forcing file deletion, but haven't really needed it - the delete option and keyboard commands all return after shutdown and reboot, and there's usually enough annoying stuff going on by this time that that seems the best thing to do.>
    Things which I've tried to fix it with so far (not in this order):
    - blowing dust out of the back with canned air
    - checking temperatures - CPU/GPU showing 72/73, HD bay 51, etc.
    - fixing permissions from normal boot
    - boot from install disk and running extended hardware test (no problems found during scans repeated several times during the past month)
    - fixing permissions and running Disk First Aid from install disk boot
    - getting files off the hard drive (was as low as 3 GB free space, currently ~ 35 GB and climbing)
    - clearing PRAM
    - resetting system manager (name? - hold down power button when reconnecting power cable, etc.)
    - Power Saver display and computer auto sleep are shut off (both on "never" - I regularly put it to sleep manually)
    - virus scans (Clam XAV)
    I realize that this is a kitchen sink collection of symptoms, but these things may be related and if so, OS developers may want to be sure these problems are avoided in current versions. (Yes I will upgrade my OS soon...)

    Thanks for checking in, Miriam - sorry to get testy about it.
    The iMac's RAM is maxed out (2.5 GB)
    Yes, the system log does report overtemp message to Power management prior to shutdown (today's log at end of post)
    Where do I find normal temperatures for the system? What are the important parameters to watch and what sort of fixes are possible?
    iStat currently shows:
    HD 54° CPU 67° GPU 72° Incoming air 38° (???)
    HD bay 54° GPU ambient 71° opt drive 49°
    ==========================================
    Console.log was largely full of stuff about a bad flash drive I stuck in as a Hail Mary and failure of communication with a scanner (old HP, driver package installs a program which starts at launch which doesn't show up under Startup Items. Apparently the permission got mislaid, so I fixed permissions and this seems OK now. (Only included that because some of it shows up in System.log and it's not worth focusing on.)
    [That all said, there is a software/OS component to the problem and it is graphics-related. The other night I was looking at some flash videos in a series and one in particular repeatedly caused shutdown, while others played normally: domain = jebhost.com /youtube/list.php?q=Henry+8.o&Submit=GO "The Tricycle Thief" only played through once out of about six tries.]
