iMac keeps waking/not sleeping since latest update

[OLDCODGER]

As an update, got home tonight and my iMac was still sleeping!

Used it as normal, left it while I had dinner, went back to it and it was seeping!!!

I have no idea why it has suddenly started behaving itself as I haven't changed any settings, it's just exactly as it was before... Very strange, but glad it has fixed itself

You've almost certainly got a dodgy USB connection, IMO.

Thank you for you helpful comments, currently my iMac is gone back to how it used to be, but I have been checking out Console and I am amazed at how much seems to go on when I wake it up via the Magic Trackpad or keyboard.

Some of the entries look a bit worrying when you see a whole load of entries saying things like:

"20/05/2012 12:18:18.000 kernel: add_fsevent: unabled to get a path for vp 0xffffff80218381f0. dropping the event.", but as everything seems to be working I guess its ok

Thanks again.

Yes, a lot of the info can look a bit scary, but, if you use it again, try to find plain English language - such as ports, apps, etc. This usually tells you where the problem lies. Good luck.

Its waking up again!

Hi

After a few days of behaving itself my iMac is waking up again and not going back to sleep.

I have checked console and below is the first few lines of the log. We had been watching a film via ATV2 and I always change the sleep setting to 3 hours so it doesnt go to sleep. I changed it back to default sleep time (10mins), opened Console, cleared the log and left it running.

Went into the study just after 11pm and it was still running, so I put it to sleep with the button after clearing the logs again. Below is the first few entries of the log.

I forgot to mention before that when its wakes the screen never comes on. I have checked my USB ports and all I have plugged in is my external 1TB Buffalo drive which is my Time Machine back up and my Blackberry phone charger. I realised my iPad dock is plugged into the mains. I have also unticked the wake for network access option in energy saver.

Glad I found this thread. I just designed an infrastructure that is incorporating 25 minis that I have all updated to OSX 10.7.4. Prior to 10.7.4 when I programmed them all and had them in my test lab they seemed to sleep/behave fine, but they were not connect to any output devices/displays etc. However there was a big bug I ran into in 10.7.3 in which applications would not fully quit when you quit them, the OS would just hang in the finder and not quit down to the next application, giving the illusion that the application that was quit was still running in which it was not. Anyway, I am experiencing the same behaviour, but it seems to be completely random. Some devices go to sleep properly and others do/are not but it is not ever consistent with the devices. I am now testing unchecking "wake for network access", perhaps something deep(er) in bonjour is the culprit. I really have no clue what else it could be. Devices are all set to wake and sleep at the same time, they all have the same programs, settings, everything is identical. The only other possibly is Lions full screen mode causing a problem(s), but then again the problem is inconsistent. Definitely will keep following this thread to see if anyone finds a solution. Perhaps it's just as "simple" as it being an apple bug/screw up that they need to fix in 10.7.5.

I seems that your iMac is waking from sleep because of ethenet, you may have dissabled waking from the network, but that is for other computers wanting access, it can still wake for bonjour services, also TimeMachine wakes the computer for backups, the computer goes back to sleep when the backups are done but some backups can be pretty big and will take a while.
Someone please correct me if some of the information I gave was wrong

I un-ticked the wake for network access as everyone seems to suggest that, plus it wakes my iMac for Time Machine every 2 hours all throughout the night, which to me seems pretty pointless as no changes have been made.

My current situation now is that it works as expected i.e. sleeping as per power settings, but that only lasts for a few days and it goes back to never sleeping again like it is now.

Its just annoying that it can work fine for a few days, sometimes a week or more, but then it stops sleeping for no apparent reason

This is happening to me after Mountain Lion upgrade...

First, it would not wake from sleep. I usually try to wake it up by pressing enter on keyboard, but none of the keys or mouse would wake my 2010 iMac. I would have to press the power button to wake from sleep. This was my first problem. I reset SMC, PRAM, and I reinstalled ML. It seems ok for now.

Now, I have another problem. My iMac is waking up without my intentions. I put it to sleep last night, but it was awake this morning... strange.

Well since Mountain Lion my iMac now goes to sleep even when its downloading whic hit never used to do before
