MacBook Pro won't sleep since upgrade

Since upgrading to Lion, my MacBook Pro does not go to sleep if left idle. It sleeps fine if I force it to, or close the lid.
I read somewhere that the latest (10.4) iTunes causes this, but I have shut that down
Any ideas?

Of course, didn't think I'd need to list that in my troubleshooting steps. Especially as the energy saver settings are reset to default values when you delete the plist files.

  • MacBook Pro won't sleep when charging

    My 15" i5 MacBook Pro won't sleep when charging; a reboot of the machine solves the problem temporarily, but it always recurs.  When I close the lid and listen carefully, I can hear hard drive activity; the drive sounds like it keeps spinning up every 10 seconds or so.
    This is not an issue when trying to sleep when running on the battery only. Any advice?

    I don't have launch2net installed.
    I'm not sure how this will help, but here's the last 5 lines from Console:

  • MacBook Pro won't sleep or shutdown (intermittent problem)

    Every so often my MacBook Pro won't sleep or shut down. I can't find any rhyme or reason to it.
    I notice the problem when I close lid, and it doesn't go to sleep. I then hit apple menu:sleep, and it does nothing. I hit shutdown, and OS shuts down, but gets stuck at blue screen with spinning circle indefinitely. Have to hold power button for 5 seconds to finally shut down. Startup is then slow, but doesn't give me an error message indicating improper shutdown or failure.
    Most of the time it sleeps fine and shuts down fine.
    Other posts seemed to have the problem more reliably, and the fix had to do with startup items. Mine is intermittent, and the only items in my startup folder are Norton Antivirus and Parallels.

    I am also experiencing the exact same problem you are describing. Completely random when the machine will not sleep or shutdown, although it seems to occur more often when I've had the machine running for a few days, moving between home and office locations.
    I have VMWare Fusion and Office 2004 installed. No iStatPro. I'm wondering could it be related to the kernel extensions that VMWare and Parallels install? Is anybody experiencing the non-shutting-down problem who doesn't have either VMWare or Parallels installed?
    I found the following section in my system.log file that occurred the last time the machine wouldn't shut down. May be of some use to somebody

  • After 10.7.4 update macbook pro won't sleep

    after 10.7.4 update, macbook pro won't sleep.

    Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
    Step 1
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter ▹ Wake for network access: uncheck. You may need to unlock the preference pane by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your administrator password.
    Step 2
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Schedule… ▹ Start up or wake: uncheck
    Step 3
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Print & Scan ▹ Open Print Queue...
    Check all printers for unfinished jobs. Deal with any you find.
    Step 4
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse or trackball, and monitor, if applicable.
    Step 5
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Enter “powerd” (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Select the powerd process and click the Quit Process button in the toobar (stop-sign icon.) In the sheet that opens, click Force Quit. You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. The process will be relaunched immediately.
    Step 6
    Boot in safe mode and log in. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the Mac OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
    Step 7
    Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
    Step 8
    If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
    If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.

  • My macbook pro won't sleep - if I select sleep it does so initially, then the disc-drive appears to kick in and it comes back to life.  It also won't turn off (again, the disc drive kicks in) unless you hold the power-button down for a long period.

  • MacBook Pro won't sleep, even in safe boot

    Hey gang,
    I can't figure out what to do with this problem. I recently did an archive & install of 10.5 on my 2.33 GHz MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo, and then used software update to get to 10.5.2.
    Ever since doing that, my MacBook Pro will not sleep on its own anymore. It will sleep the display, but it won't sleep the system. (I can close the lid and it will sleep. I can also choose "Sleep" from the Apple Menu, and it will sleep. It just won't sleep on its own.)
    At first I thought it might be Time Machine that was preventing it from sleeping, but I turned off Time Machine and the problem persisted. I tried creating a new user, and the problem persisted. In fact, I EVEN BOOTED IN SAFE MODE AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED!
    I went through every single step outlined on this page (yes, every single step), and the problem still persisted: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070129234938244
    Does anybody have any ideas what I can do at this point? I'm pulling out my hair over here....
    Thanks!
    Scott

    I see you've done your homework. I have this no auto-sleep problem on my Mac pro and none of those things worked for me either but I thought you should give them a shot.
    I made a little sleep program of my own. You are welcome to try it. It's a very simple shell script that checks system idle time and if it's bigger than the sleep timer you set in system preferences it puts your computer to sleep. It will work so long as you can manually put your computer to sleep from the apple menu.
    You'll also need to create a launch daemon to periodically run the script.
    here are the steps to do it.
    1. copy and paste the following into TextEdit.
    #!/bin/bash
    idl=$"`ioreg -c IOHIDSystem | awk '/HIDIdleTime/ {print int($NF/1000000000); exit}'`"
    sleeptimer=$"`defaults read /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement "Custom Profile" | grep "System Sleep Timer" | awk '{print $5}' | sed -e 's/;//g'`"
    st=`expr $sleeptimer \* 60 `
    if \[ $idl -gt $st \]; then
    shutdown -s now
    fi
    2. Format it as *plain text* (shiftcommandT in TextEdit) and save it as sleep.sh (don't use the .txt extension) at the top level of your hard drive.
    3. make it unix executable by entering the following command in terminal.
    *chmod 755 /sleep.sh*
    4. Download and install [Lingon|http://lingon.sourceforge.net>.
    5. Open Lingon and create a new *Users Daemon*
    Call it,say, com.sleep.launchd (the name is not important)
    On line 2. enter /sleep.sh
    and in section 3 set it to run every 30 seconds.
    Click save (you'll have to enter your admin password).
    6. Restart.
    That's it. Once this is done you can forget about it. The sleep settings are still controlled from system preferences. The sleep agent will work with every user and even over the login window.
    To uninstall it, open Lingon, select the launch daemon you made and uncheck the box "Enabled" in the upper right corner. save and restart.

  • MacBook Pro won't sleep when lid is closed and battery lights won't work?

    I have a 2010 MacBook Pro 15" and ever since I got it, the battery indicator lights wouldn't light up (not that big of a deal) and the computer wouldn't sleep when I closed the lid.
    I've reset the NVRAM/PRAM, the SMC and verified/repaired my hard disk as needed.  But the computer still won't sleep when I close the lid (regardless if the machine is plugged into a charger or not).  Is there a known fix for this problem?  I've been searching through the forums and troubleshooting from advice that other people have suggested, but nothing seems to be working.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

    This exact thing happened to me. Resetting the SMC solved all my problems. Here's a link to how to do it: Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) Hope it works!

  • Macbook Pro won't sleep when lid open

    My 2011 Macbook Pro won't go to sleep if I leave the lid open. I have checked System Preferences>Energy Saver and the display/computer sleep is set to 10 min for both Battery and Power Adapter settings. Even if I close all the applications down, my computer will still not go to sleep. The battery just gets completely drained if I forget to close the lid. Help?

  • MacBook Pro won't Sleep or Shut Down

    My MacBook Pro won't go to sleep or shut down.
    Sleep
    The behaviour is the same whether I press the power button and choose 'Sleep' or whether I choose 'Sleep' from the Apple menu. The computer stays awake, but it loses the ability to respond to Keyboard Shortcuts, such as those used for Expose, and can get stuck in some Apps. If I close the lid the computer stays awake but the screen blacks out. Re-openning the lid does not re-illuminate the screen so I have to force shut down and re-boot.
    *Shut Down*
    The behaviour is erratic. Sometimes the computer simply ignores me (although it does close the 'Are you sure you want to Shut Down now?' window), and sometimes it goes to the blue screen with the progress circle and hangs.
    *What I've tried already*
    - Resetting the SMC
    - Checked the Firmware versions are the latest

    Sorry for the repost. New to this forum and I hadn't seen the answers to the last time I brought up this topic here:

  • MacBook Pro won't sleep in OS X after reboot from Windows (again!)

    This problem originally occurred about a year ago and no solution was found then but after a time, it simply went away. Well, now it's back: after a reboot into OS X (10.6.7) from Windows (7 Ultimate 64 Bit), my MacBook Pro refuses to sleep until rebooted a second time, after which it behaves correctly again. The Console log reports the following message: "System Sleep prevented by active remote login session (600 second threshold)". I've disabled Growl and DropBox (possible suspects last time) to no effect, reset the SMC and PRAM, all the usual things. I've tried when connected to mains power or battery, on wired, wireless or no network at all and still the same problem. Sleep behaviour under Windows is correct. Hopefully the problem will eventually cure itself as it did last time but I would like to discover the reason and find out what this "remote login session" could possibly be. To reiterate, this ONLY occurs immediately after rebooting from Windows.

    Tried repairing BootCamp in 7, no change, don't think there was anything wrong with it in the first place.
    Here is a section of the log after reboot from BootCamp and it says "System Sleep prevented by active remote login session (600 second threshold)". This ONLY happens after a reboot from Bootcamp, after another reboot all goes back to normal. What could the "active remote login session" be?
    From log:
    21/04/2010 23:08:56 kernel PM notification cancel (pid 16, configd)
    21/04/2010 23:08:56 kernel IOPMrootDomain: idle cancel

  • Macbook Pro won't sleep after updating to 10.4.11

    Hi,
    I just updated to 10.4.11 reluctantly from 10.4.9 as whenever I do update I always have issues...I basically just went to software update last week and updated to everything I could. I've just been reading the forums and noted that updating is not always that easy...
    Well basically my computer won't sleep if the lid is left open, this is IMMENSELY annoying since I often leave my desk to work on drawings, and I don't want energy being wasted like it is at the minute. Call me picky but I just want my computer to work.
    I've reseted the PRAM, (option, alt, p and r), closed all applications, etc, but no luck...
    Its a 2.2ghz MacBook pro, 2GB. Thank you in advance
    Neal

    The important thing for the future imho, is to always Repair Permissions before & after any update... seems to ward off most of these problems. Of course that is only good if the disk is Verified once in awhile.
    Using Disk Utility in Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later to verify or repair disks...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
    About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
    In fact I'd start with those 2 now, if that doesn't help you may need to reapply some updates by getting them directly from apple>downloads.

  • Macbook pro running painfully slowly since upgrade to Mavericks and worse since Yosemite

    Hi, since upgrading to Mavericks my previously excellent 2011 Macbook Pro is running painfully slowly, and things have only got worse since the upgrade to Yosemite. It takes anything up to 10 minutes to get fully functional from opening the lid on standby, can take a good 5 minutes to connect to wifi, and I am getting stuck with constant spinning beach balls. I've cleaned things up, and deleted anything unnecessary so I have adequate space on the HDD but this doesn't seem to make any difference, and I'm not running any particularly memory hungry software. It was working perfectly before these upgrades and I'm really wishing I could just downgrade back to Mountain Lion now! I'm no expert so could really use some help. Do I just need more RAM or is this something more complicated?
    I've run Etresoft and here are the results (I note there is some adware listed on Safari, but I don't use it ,using Chrome and Firefox instead):

  • MacBook Pro keeps crashing ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion

    My MacBook Pro keeps crashing randomly ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Another user suggested that it was bug with the graphic card and suggested that I use gfxCardStatus to control it. However it is only a temporary fix and my computer still crashes. Can anyone tell me what the permanant fix for this problem?? Here is my latest crash report:

  • MacBook Pro won't sleep or stay shut down?

    Product: MacBook Pro 13" "mid 2009," 8GB RAM (3rd party RAM upgrade), 2.26GHz, Mountain Lion 10.8.2
    This happens ~75% of the time:
    1) When I put it to sleep, the fans keep running, hard drive keeps spinning, and the outside front pulsing light goes through unusual on/off pulsing cycles. When I open the lid, it's at the login window. So it knows I put it to sleep, but it doesn't stay asleep. And I can't just put it to sleep and throw it in a bag -- it would overheat.
    2) When I shut down, it goes through the process, and as soon as it's off, the front pulsing light turns on, and the computer starts up again. I can't stop that from happening. So to shut down fully (for travel, unplugging power, etc), I need to force shut down (hold power button for several seconds), and that can't be good to do so many times.
    I've read through so many posts online (not a totally unique issue here, Apple!), and I have done all of this:
    - archive and install
    - clear all faulty fonts
    - reset SMC
    - reset PRAM
    - removed all strange startup items (with Genius Bar guy)
    - delete /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist to re-create them
    - remove all sharing (file, printers, iTunes library)
    - turned off Bluetooth
    I even did a clean install, then pulled in my stuff backed up on external HD. Unfortunately I didn't test enough if I could replicate these issues before restoring all my files and settings.
    Apple Genius Bar told me that it's not a hardware issue -- that's all been checked.
    Anything else to do? other than doing another clean install and copying files, applications, etc. one by one? (which might not fix anything)
    Thanks so much for any help.

    I don't have any good solutions as it seem you have tried all the advised repairs and resets. If it were me I would wipe the HDD clean and install 10.5 or 10.6 depending on the installation disks you possess. If the problem is resolved then upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 and see what happens.
    I have a MacBook Pro that would not work correctly with an interim OS update no matter how I approached it. The consensus on this forum was that I was doing something wrong. I reinstalled to the pre update state and waited till the next upgrade was released. When I applied this everything was fine and has remained so. Perhaps OS X 10.8.3 will offer you some relief.

  • Macbook Pro won't sleep

    I have this setup: a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, an external 27" cinema display, a bluetooth apple keyboard and a bluetooth magic mouse.
    The MacBook Pro runs with the lid closed.
    It looks like the computer won't sleep anymore. It stays on for days when not using it. In my settings I have set I want the computer to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity.
    I prefer to switch off the keyboard and mouse when I'm away from my computer, so I can't use the Apple menu or shortcuts to make the computer sleep.
    Any idea?

    i am pretty sure this is because you have it connected to an external display.  i am not sure if there is a workaround for this.
