Mac OS XWill your machines sleep if you select "Sleep" from the Apple menu?
If so, there's likely something running - third party or otherwise - that is preventing your system from going to sleep as your machine will only be put to sleep if it is idle, not just if you're not using it.
Simple example - say you were rendering a long video project. If you walked away from your machine for 30 minutes your display would be put to sleep but your system would not be as it would be busy doing something else.

Mac OS XUse Activity Monitor to double check that something isn't running and using CPU cycles that you aren't expecting to be.

Mac OS XYes - but what else is shown to be actively running (other than Activity Monitor)?
It's likely not an app but a startup item of some kind or third party kernel extension.

Often this is some type of update checker often installed by an Adobe product or Netflix.
Check for a folder in your /Applications directory called Akamai - if it exists, there should be an Uninstaller you can run located in that folder:

Mac OS XKernel Task seems to be using an awful lot of CPU, which makes me wonder if you still don't have some third party kernel extension installed that's busy running in the background; for example VirtualBox is known to disable display sleep in Lion simply if you have it installed, regardless of whether you have a guest domain booted.
If you could, run the following command in a Terminal window and post the results:
kextstat | grep -v com.apple -
Jul 26, 2011 12:14 AM in response to Vivalby fzahn,Hi,
I also have a problem with sleep mode:
On my iMac the sleep-command in the Apple menu is working,
but it does not automatically sleep after the time that is set in the energy preferences.
this worked great in Snow Leopard, but it stopped working in Lion.
I already did a PRAM and SMC reset
In the apple support-documents I read, that harddrive activity will prevent the mac from going to sleep. If I have a look in the activity monitor, I can see, that there is normally no access (read and write is 0kbit/s), but every couple of seconds, this value increases to 2-4 kbit/s (which is not much, but perhaps enough to prevent the imac from going to sleep?). Is there a way to figure out the process, that accesses the harddrive
Regards
Florian
