Leopard will not automatically sleep!!

Please help me!!

I have tried everything I know to resolve this problem, but i cannot get my iMac (intel) to automatically sleep!!

I have reset PRAM, unplugged all USB etc, tried deleting some pref files but all to no avail.

There are a few threads already on this but none have come up with a trouble-shooting guide.

Are there any steps I could follow?
Is there a way to 'see' the sleep timer so I can see what i resetting it?
Are there any known programs that can cause this?

I noticed on some programs there was a check-box enabling 'Do Not Sleep' when active. I'm wondering if one of these (now redundant) programs have left the computer in a 'do not sleep' state?(!)

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

 

ah, i did have little snitch installed not so long ago until the demo expired. I wonder if I re-install and then maybe try and uninstall it again it might get to the bottom of my problem. Would deleting any related preference files help at all?

 

Hi,

I did a fresh install/uninstall of Little Snitch but unfortunately it not help.

I have a few odd messages on the console which may help:

27/11/2008 23:25:15 com.apple.coreservicesd[48] NOTE: Using non-mach-based version of client -> server communication, via direct function calls.

I have searched google but I have no idea what it means.

Also, occasionally, this StuffIt one pops up too:

27/11/2008 19:09:15 Safari[393] Cannot find function pointer MyCMPluginFactory for factory 02E3F072-9CCB-11D5-A0B2-00306575F8A2 in CFBundle/CFPlugIn 0x16675880 </Library/Contextual Menu Items/StuffItCM.plugin> (bundle, not loaded)

Thanks far all your help richthomas.
