Why does it take 30 seconds to fall in sleep modus?

why does it take 30 seconds to fall in sleep modus?
Some time ago it took just a few seconds.

I have the same problem.  It always takes about 30 seconds for my Mac Pro to fall asleep and it's driving me crazy.
I've got a Mac Pro early 2009 4.1.  I've reinstalled the OS twice, disabled all startup items, uninstalled the Logitech Control Center, and unplugged all USBs.  Only running keyboard and apple Mighty Mouse on bluetooth.
I've also disabled hibernate mode, and removed the sleep image from the boot disk.
On a pmset log, every thirty seconds the "com.apple.diskmanagementd" program creates a "PreventIdleUserSleep", then thirty seconds later it creates a "ReleasedIdleUserSleep".  This repeats itself continuously while it's sleeping.
I've tried killing the process in Activity Monitor and it just starts up again 30 seconds or so later. 
What could be causing this, and how can I stop it?

  • Why does it take 30 seconds to sleep after the 10.7.3 update?

    After applying the 10.7.3 combo update it now take 30 seconds between the time I select sleep from the menu (or press the power button) on my 2.66GHz Mac Pro. It used to be instant.

    Matthew,
    Again, this started when I installed the combo 10.7.3 update. Unlike you, my screen does dot go to black-except-cursor, but remains at the desktop (or whatever app I'm in), but simply takes 30 seconds exactly to sleep. I do have a Belkin UPS attached, and I'll try to unplug the USB cable and see what happens. Also remember that I've tested this in a new unsullied user, so it's probably not anything I'm running. Another possibility is that I have 2 RAID arrays connected via eSATA, but I had those before the update and they did not seem to affect sleep then. Could be that Apple changed the way they handle eSATA.
    I'm on a 2006 Mac Pro (details below).
    Would be nice if we could get some help from an Apple engineer on this issue (hint, hint...)

  • Why does Bookmarks take several seconds to respond after I move a bookmark when Sync enabled, but not when Sync is disabled?

    With FFox open and Sync enabled, moving a bookmark, either in the Bookmark sidebar or in 'Show All Bookmarks' window, to another location - for example: dragging a bookmark from "Unsorted" to another location in Bookmarks - causes a delay during which time the Bookmark list seems to freeze and bookmarks can't be moved, selected, etc. The delay lasts for several seconds, and is longer on slower/older machines. If I attempt to move a bookmark (or folder) during the delay, it will move in unexpected ways once Bookmarks unfreezes as locations within the Bookmark list have changed.
    With Sync disabled, bookmarks can be moved/selected/etc. without any delay.
    Systems Tested: [Note: All systems had the most current version of FFox available for them.]
    MacBook Pro 26 (2014) w/OSX 10.9
    IBM ThinkPad T41x (2010) w/XPpro
    Macbook Pro 266 (2009) w/OSX 10.6
    IBM ThinkPad T61x (2008) w/XPpro
    Mac Mini (2008) w/OSX 10.6
    Mac Mini (2007) w/OSX 10.5
    Macbook Pro 233 (2007) w/Ubuntu v14
    ASUS P1AH (2006) w/Ubuntu 12
    My main computer is the Macbook Pro 266, and I noticed this behavior: FFox v36 bookmark delay with Sync enabled is about the same as v35, v35 was worse (longer delay) than v34, v34 was better (less delay) than v33, v33 was better than v32, V32 was much worse than v31, v31 was much worse (Sync unusueable) than v30, v30 was much worse (Sync unusueable) than v29, v29 delay made Sync unusueable.

    Currently 664 [exported from FFox Bookmarks to URL Manager for the count] abut never more than 4000: beyond 4000 bookmarks and FFoxs' Bookmarks respond slowly even without Sync active. I currently have 5 computer with FFox set up to use Sync. While I don't expect FFox to manage a huge collection of URLs, I would be nice to be able to access a Bookmark collection of 6000 to 8000 without noticeable delay. It's a simple text file after all, and as I'm only effecting one URL, why so long to update?
    fyi: URL Manager tells me that I've amassed about 300,000 bookmarks, some from the late 90's which I still use for research.

  • Why does it take 40 minutes to start watching a rental on Apple TV but only seconds to start watching Netflix?

    Why does it take 40 minutes to start watching a rental on Apple TV but only seconds to start watching Netflix?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
    Netflix movies are adaptive and vary their quality according to your connection and can be as low as 0.5 Mbps.
    But remember lower datarates = lower quality.

  • Why does it take so long to recognize my camera?

    I have a Canon EOS Rebel XS.  When I plug it in, iPhoto jumps up and is in front on the screen, as it should, but then it takes 8 or 10 minutes for it to be identified and booted up into the sidebar. I just watch the wheels turn and the red light flicker, but it takes EIGHT or MORE minutes to be recognized!! And, sometimes the camera times itself out. Here is my question . . . WHY WHY WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO BE RECOGNIZED?!?!?!!? I could deal with 30 seconds, but this is just ridiculous. Is this a Canon issue? A driver issue? Heaven forbid, an Apple issue?  Does anybody have any insight on this or the same kind of experience?
    Mike

    Next time you import reformat the card with the Camera - remember this will erase the card, so make sure you've emptied it first. Oh, and the use of block capitals is very impressive. Doesn't make it look like a tantrum at all.

  • On my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

    on my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

    It depends on the size of the attachment and the speed of your internet connection.
    Next time you send an email with an attachment do these two things:
    In Apple Mail (I assume you are using Apple Mail), under the Window menu select Activity. Arrange the Activity window so you can see it.
    Then open the separate application located in the Utilities folder called "Activity Monitor" and arrange it so you can see it at the same time as the Activity window in Mail.
    In Activity Monitor program, select the tab labeled "Network." Watch the "Data sent/sec" portion. Then send your email, while watching the Mail Activity window and also the Activity Monitor program window Data sent/sec area.
    You should see the mail being sent with a progress bar in the Mail Activity window and also you should be able to see how many bytes/sec or KB/sec or MB/sec your internet connection is giving you in the Activity Monitor window.
    Example: my internet provider gives me about 20 Megabits per second download and 5 Megabits per second upload. To convert these to Megabytes per second (Activity Monitor shows things in bytes, not bits), simply divide by 10 (not the exact thing to do, but close enough). So I get 0.5 Megabytes per second upload speed. When I send a file that is 5 Megabytes in size, it takes about 10 seconds if I am getting the full upload bandwidth. If I am getting less than that (which sometimes happens), it will take proportionately more time. Either way, you can see what is happening with these two windows.
    If your internet provider is supposed to give you, say, 5 Megabits/sec upload (0.5 Megabytes/sec), but you see only say, 5 KB/sec (=0.005 Megabytes/sec), sent in Activity Monitor, then your emails are taking a long time because you are getting only abut 1/100 the speed you should be. You might want to check with your internet provider about that.

  • Why does it take so long to back up whilst im updating from 4.3.5 to 5.0?

    Why does it take so long to back up whilst im updating from 4.3.5 to 5.0?
    its been on for ages and its not even a quarter of the way backed up!

    The Brave New World of AC wireless networking.. where the reality falls far short of the hype.
    Unfortunately in an actual transfer situation, the signal to noise of wireless (RSSI figure drops dramatically), It simply uses AC as a link speed but speed is always renegotiated during an actual file transfer.. to some sustainable level. I suspect that level is not AC wireless but N.
    It does matter if you run older devices.. nothing with a or b or g wireless should be running in your house. Even n wireless may cause issues.. try turning everything else off and see if you get speed lift.
    As far as the time required for a clean up, is this a first backup as they always take a significantly longer time. Once you are doing regular incrementals the time is usually very short.

  • Why does it take so long to access older messages on this site?

    Just curious, but why does it take so long to access the older messages
    (and related responses) on this site?
    When I do a search, the list of results comes up immediately, but when
    I click on an entry to see the full message I run into problems. If
    the entry is relatively new (say less than six months old), the full
    message and related responses displays within seconds, but if it is
    old than that, it can take up to 15 minutes or more to display
    everything.
    I have tried different browser, different operating systems, with and
    without proxies and firewalls, on T1, on DSL, on dial-up, and the same
    thing always happens.
    Anyone know what is causing this, and a way I can fix it?
    Thanks

    Hey that happens to me too....I think they are archived a different way then the new post, so it takes longer to retrieve them.

  • Why does Sync take soo long?

    I am trying to sync up a website on a new install of
    Dreamweaver. The total volume of the entire website is just a
    little over 100 MB. At DSL speed, I could simply download the
    entire site with an FTP program like CuteFTP and it would come down
    completely in about 30-40 minutes.
    Dreamweaver has been chugging along for 12 hours now and I
    haven't a clue when it will be finished if ever. Many times when I
    check it, there is a dialog that says something like a file xxx.htm
    could not be downloaded from the server, Skip, Cancel, will
    automatically skip in xx seconds.
    I am not for sure why this message keeps popping up. Is this
    why the download is taking so long?
    I have seen long download times before and never noticed
    those error messages before. I wish there was a setting to make it
    skip all files with errors.
    Why does Dreamweaver take exponentially longer than Cute FTP
    to synchronize my files?
    Kirk

    Adobe's FTP code in DW is sorely lacking. I too found it
    painfully slow. I
    have since gone to a dedicated FTP program and live much
    happier.

  • Why does it take so long for Firefox to load?

    Why does it take so long for Firefox to launch at initial start up? It usually takes 3 or 4 minutes. IE loads within a few seconds.

    Reset the homepage to something else, or do not use a home page at all.

  • I just recently upgraded to Mavericks.  Why does it take awhile to load messages in mail after I click to open them?

    I just recently upgraded to Mavericks.  Why does it take awhile to load messages after I click to open them?

    I should have put more info with my question. Anyway, I regularly use Seamonkey with its built-in mail client because it works so well. I also can use the Yahoo site's mail feature and the mail also goes out instantly once I click on the send button. Only Mail takes up to 32 seconds to send out a mail. I watch the spinning wheel churn until the whoosh sound comes. Not acceptable, that is why I use Seamonkey. Another iMac in the house shows the same low level of performance sending out the mail from that computer, and that computer uses the ultra-fast Comcast internet while my computer uses the AT&T land line. I tried changing some of the settings, like changing the port numbers to no avail. I returned to the recommended AT&T port setting. Since I have never been able to get Mail to work the way I want it, I switched to Seamonkey, but have always been curious as to why it wants to take so long. I like Safari as the browser a little better, but will use Seamonkey because it has it all and works the way it should. Unless a cure for that elongated wait with the outgoing mail is found, I will have to stay with Seamonkey.

  • Why does it take so long to download software like Adobe to a Mac laptop

    I just recently bought a MacBook Pro and I am installing Adobe Reader and it is taking sooooo long to install.  I have been installing since 8:30 pm and its now 10:27 and its only up to 42%.  Why does it taking so long?  Also I have downloading other software and it took forever as well.  Why does it take son long to download software to the Mac?

    Something is obviously wrong.
    Stop the download and take the machine back to Apple as you have 90 days free support.
    They will test the machine to see if it's a hardware issue or a problem with the Mac itself.
    If they say it's fine and it surfs/downloads fast on their connections, then it's likely something wrong with your home network or router.
    Did you by any chance change your DNS settings in Network?
    This could be the problem, delete what you entered and reboot the machine, the ISP's default DNS settings will return.
    To OpenDNS? On the router? Are you using your own router of it someone managing it for you?
    Are you over 21 and can you legally surf for adult sites? If some sort of filtering is on, this could be the cause.
    OpenDNS doesn't have servers everywhere, so it causes certain downloads from Akamai servers to come from a lot farther away than your ISP servers.
    Have you run Internet speed tests? Using other machines on your network are they fast?
    Is your router or modem old? Did you power them off, wait 30 seconds and power them back on?
    It's rather a lot to try to figure out network issues, you may have to call in a local professional.

  • Why Does It Take So Long To Detect Proxy Settings?

    Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with all patches
    Internet Explorer 10 with all patches
    The first time I start Internet Explorer after booting it takes a very long time (>30 seconds) to detect proxy settings.  There is nothing else running on this machine.  I have this problem if IE is the first thing I open after booting.
    Why does it take so long and how can I speed this up?
