ever since upgrading to mountan lion on my mid 2009 intel mac, sleep settings do not put mac to sleep. I can manually put mac to sleep but not with timer on energy settings. Any one else having this pronblem?
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion
Do some basics. First is Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilties). After that then test and if the problem persists then restart in Safe Mode. You do that by holding down the Shift Key when you hear the Startup Tone until you see a progress bar appear. Once it has successfuly restarted then restart normally. A Safe Mode restart will clear some caches, it's possible one or more is corrupt. If the problem persists, post back.

I tried both of your suggestions and still no go. Also found out that USB is not charging my iphone?
go figure.
thanks for any help you can provide
Got it, OK I think you need to do a couple of basic resets. From the way you are describing things I thing doing a SMC reset will handle it, but you should do both of these resets 2x to be sure.
I did the resets and all is working fine now.
thanks so much for help! Really apreciate it.
Your welcome.
Thanks!
After doing a mountain lion upgrade, sleep didn't work correctly - In sleep mode, the screen would blank out but the MAC didn't really go to sleep.
Did the steps 2x and it works fine.
Had same problem/issue iMac would not stay a sleep. Did above resets, 1st SMC 2x and then 2nd Pram 2x also. It appears to have worked... just tested it...Yea!! Thank you!
The reset did not work...unless there is a specfic sequence to it. I did the SMC 2x and then PRAM 2x. iMac still woke up after a few mintues for no reason. Then I performed a reset on one more time. Any other recommendations, would be appreciated.
Thanks
Please create your own thread instead of trying to Threadjack this one. Also at the very least complete a profile, we don't even know what iMac you own, version of OS X or anything else. If you do these two things someone is probably going to assist you. If you don't know how to creat a profile please click Profile Update
