Scheduled sleep not working

On command my unit will sleep. It will not sleep on schedule however.
External monitor goes dark on schedule - but unit does not sleep. Have trashed PowerManagement.plist several times, and reset PRAM but no go. Activity monitor shows pmtool, kernal_task, and Executor as slightly active.
This has happened several times in the past but was always solved by trashing PowerManagement.plist and logging out then in.
Now nothing seems to help.
Any ideas? Thanks

This is for a Mac that won't sleep.
First, read things in Apple doc.#25801 on sleep settings.
Here is Apple doc.#303698 with their tips.
Mine follow;
USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit.
If you've set your Mac to receive faxes, it may not be able to sleep. It might also have a damaged preferences file.
If you use your Mac for faxing, open System Preferences. click Print & Fax, click the Faxing tab, and uncheck the Recieve Faxes On This Computer box.
If that doesn't work or you've never faxed on your Mac, go to Finder/Hard Drive /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com..apple.AutoWake.plist files (if your Mac asks, type your admin. password).
If the latter file isn't present in the folder, go to user name(probably your name)/Library/Preferences, delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and reboot your Mac.
Hope this helps!
P.S. One member here reported this (Michael Gleason);
"I have had this problem with my IMac G5. It is surprisingly irritating. LaCie's Silverkeeper backup software was the cause. By default it gave itself permission to wake up the computer to check if a backup was needed. Do you have this or a similar program installed which has scheduled activities including wake-up permissions as an option?"
Dave Hamilton provided this link, xlr8yourmac.com, to a member, which addresses failure of deep sleep with some users that updated and added new FireWire and USB cards.
tomhorvat adds this; After few days of messing around I found out that I had desktop background (wallpaper) set to change every 1 minute.
After unchecking "Change picture..." in system preferences (under Desktop/Screen saver), my powerbook went to sleep all by itself.
Cheers!

  • Bluetooth and sleep not working

    MacBook bluetooth "not available" at the same time as sleep not working (the cd drive wakes up and puts it out of sleep after about 20s). These two faults occur together and are intermittent, though increasing in frequency. I have tried all the fixes (flashing, power reset etc) listed, but none are working, e.g. an earlier post is below. Anyone with any clues - I'm in guarantee but would rather not have people pulling the machine to pieces if I don't need to.
    Thanks

  • Mavericks Scheduled Shutdown not working

    Since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.2 , about 2 weeks ago, (from Snow Leopard 10.6.8) unable to get Energy Saver / "Scheduled Shutdown" working.
    Scheduled Startup works without any problems, everyday at selected time, my iMac boots up; but when I have a time set for "shutdown" it just goes to sleep.  Never had this problem with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 - always worked on schedule everyday.  Tried not selecting both Startup and Shutdown, and doing it manually; but whenever I go back to set the Startup and Shutdown, it never works in Shutdown.   Any help on how to solve this, would be appreciated.
    Running iMac 21" 16GB RAM, Ma

    I think I spoke too soon, about Scheduled Shutdown working OK.  It does not work when Mac is in "Sleep Mode"...I tried it again this morning, set a schedule time for shutdown, 10 minutes out from present time.
    Did not allow screen or computer to go into sleep mode, and guess what ?  Up pops the scheduled shutdown screen, saying this computer will shut down in 10 minutes. OK that worked.   I then changed the shutdown schedule again, for a later time, now I allowed the Display and Computer to go into Sleep mode, per settings I have in System Preferences/Energy Saver -> "Display Sleeps in 10 Minutes - Computer sleep in 15 minutes. I returned 40 minutes later, -- Computer and Display are in Sleep mode, return key to bring screen back up,---- and Scheduled Shutdown was not activated.  Have no background programs running that causing errors in Console.  Therefore there is a software flaw somewhere, that will not allow "Schedule Sutdown" to activate when computer is in sleep mode.   Any suggestions on how to correct this would be appreciated.

  • Systemd hybrid-sleep not working

    Hi!
    Today i finally tried out (only for curiosity) hybrid-sleep, and i discovered it is not working.
    I'm not using testing repo. So, systemd 196 should be able to hybrid-sleep.
    First problem: i need to put my password to hybrid-sleep, while for suspend and hibernate that is not necessary.
    Second problem: as far as i understand, hybrid-sleep should be a normal suspend, but in background the netbook should suspend to disk too, in event of lack of energy. Is this correct? Well, on my netbook, it only hibernates, as if i did a "systemctl hibernate".
    journalctl
    dic 02 18:48:33 arch systemd-sleep[4421]: Hibernating and suspending system...
    dic 02 18:49:09 arch systemd-sleep[4421]: System thawed.
    But it is not "hibernating and suspending", it is only hibernated.
    By the way, i'm not using pm-utils.
    Any hint?
    Thanks!

    I can reproduce this behaviour with systemd-196-2. systemctl hybrid-sleep just hibernates and powers off. Further investigation of this issue brought the following issues:
    systemctl suspend works as expected.
    systemctl hibernate works also.
    Disabling hibernation (by disabling the swap and resume partition) leads to suspend to ram with the hybrid-sleep command.
    Circumventing systemd does the job and correctly hibernates AND suspends:
    echo suspend > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state
    So I guess the kernel part of hybrid-sleep and the hardware work correctly and somehow the systemd-hybrid-sleep.service does not work. The service file has the line:
    ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sleep hybrid-sleep
    which seems to be the relevant command.

  • Sleep not working correctly

    Since updating my Late 2010 iMac to Moutain Lion the sleep function does not work correctly. They system keep waking up for no reason. The monitor comes comes day or night. I cannot figure out a fix or work around. Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows: 
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
     Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. 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, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • T42p vista fn + f3 and fn + f4 functions (turn off screen and sleep) not working correctly

    Hi -- I recently installed windows vista on my T42p.  It works fine except that the fn+f3 and fn+f4 functions do not work as expected.  Before installing the hotkeys driver, the fn+f4 function worked correctly while f3 did not (going to sleep worked, turning the monitor off did not).  I then installed the recommended hotkeys driver.  Now fn+f4 makes the monitor turn off while f3 does nothing ... fn+f4 is supposed to put the laptop to sleep.  On top of this, if i select "sleep" from the start menu, the computer turns the monitor off instead of going to sleep.
    Presumably, the sleep button could still be telling the computer to go to sleep, but the actual operation of going to sleep is now broken?  Just a guess.  Anyways -- anyone know how to resolve this so that fn+f3 turns my monitor off and fn+f4 puts my computer to sleep?

    I've too this problem, but more, my sound mute wasn't worked (for deblock, but it can block it few second before...) 5 days in 5-6 instalation of three version of winxp: winxp ru x64 sp2, winxp es/ru sp3 x32.
    eventually I've found and ran "TPOSDSVC.exe" in instalation directory and it give an opportunity  deblocking the sound volume!!!!!!!!!!!! and I don't need more functions 
    volume levels and brightness adjustment worked well without OSD (before I ran TPOSDSVC.exe) and with OSD.
    and now I don't know worked this bustered sound driver in winxp x64.

    Hi Experts,
    I have coded a schedule task, using the plugin approach, the steps i have followed are:
    1. Created the custom code jar
    2. Created plugin.xml
    the above 2 files are added in plugin and registerd in OIM
    3. Created the task.xml and registered in MDSWhile creating the job i could see it shows up in the tasks but when i executed thejob it is giving me below error:
    I tried putting it in using UploadJars.sh utility and placed thejar in schedule tasks folder but did not work.
    An error occurred while loading the plugin class. Class null was not found.
    Please provide help this is really urgent!!
    thanks

  • "Display sleep" not working

    I have my energy saver set to have the display go to sleep after 1 min. I dont like the bright glare coming from the iMac when i am not using it.
    It worked fine until last night.
    One thing that i think may have changed it: i used an emulation software called SNES9x for playing games. I noticed that in order for the software to work it had to adjust the displays when I used it (i saw the blue screens come on for a second).
    The displays look the same now that I am not using it though.
    How do i get sleep display working again?

  • CFHTTP and Scheduled Tasks not working after CF8 Upgrade

    I have recently upgraded to ColdFusion 8. My scheduled tasks
    in the ColdFusion Administrator do not work anymore. I ran them
    manually without the ColdFusion Administrator from the server and a
    local machine via Internet Explorer 7 and they work. I tried to run
    the same scheduled task with the same URL via CFHTTP in a CFM page
    and this does not work. The logs are not giving me any error
    messages. Has anyone run into this? Is this a bug with CF8 or even
    an IIS issue? ColdFusion is on a Windows 2003 SP2 server.

  • Schedule tasks not working for SSL.

    I am running CF11 using Tomcat 7 and jdk1.7.0_45.  I have non-SSL sites that execute the exact same task fine.  However for my SSL enabled sites, the task will not run.  Does anyone have an idea as to what is causing this?

    I can confirm that cfschedule does work with SSL and yes you will need to import the certificate or root certificate into your certificate store if it is not one issued by a "well known" provider that the jre supports. The gotcha is that the certificate domain must match the server name used in the cfschedule call. For us this meant that our www.domain.com cert did not work, even after importing, for https://127.0.0.1/... To fix this we created a hosts file entry so the request didn't have to round trip outside the box.
