Bluetooth drivers prevent system from sleeping in Mavericks - what's going on!?

Any updates on this issue? I've been having this problem for quite some time and just recently stumbled on this thread.

i have been on to apple support again. i am running a macpro mid 2010

after them advise to try a cabled mouse i am now running with bluetooth disabled and i am using a Cabled apple mouse

i have Mavericks on the 1Tb drive that came with the machine with all my software installed

i am lucky enough also to have a few spare HDD that i can install the older OS on to.as my system came with Lion then i have lion on one 40 GB HDD and i also have Snow leopard on another 40 Gb HDD.

these system only have the default software on. I have not migrated any data as most of what i use is on another drive that i use just for storage and have set up my email in Mail.app from scratch (using IMAP) so i can still access my mail while i am on the test HDD's

pmset -g

and

pmset -g assertions

all seems ok for now

none of the error relating to bluetooth or most of the time it has been usereventagent mds

as yet i have been unable to get this to NOT shutdown at the time intervals i specify but have only just started testing with the other HDD's .

i seem to think that this problem is when i have been using the system for many hours. not only a short space of time so i need to try set the time for the machine to shutdown as never and leave for a 24 hours and see what happens with that too.

I also noticed this! The delay is shorter (like 10-20 seconds) if I send the Mac to sleep right after booting or waking, and it's longer (20-45 seconds) after using the computer for many hours.

I'm glad you serve as proof that this is not a portable Mac issue; it has to be Mavericks.

I would encourage you and others to get a free developer account and report this at https://bugreport.apple.com/ to get some attention and provide feedback on this from more system configurations.

I fixed my problem!

It's caused by NoSleep app.

I didn't quit the application properly.

Try deactivate the application first, then quit.

10.9.4 fixed that for me.

I updated to 10.9.4 as well and have turned off all apps, etc. but I still have the issue.

Even when shut-down my laptop will use about 10% battery in a 24hr period, even though I have energy saver settings set and everything turned off before shut-down!

It is causing major issues for me and I also cannot login to the Apple Bug Reporter! The apple stores haven't any clue.

This issue has been going for about a year now and apple still doesnt have a solution????

further update, wiped and reinstalled mavericks again and was ok for a while then it started again. been only using a cabled mouse and bluetooth switched off/ disabled.Zap the NVRAM and all seems working as normal.

i contacted apple to update my case and was told that the NVRAM / PRAM was software based and that it is not something that should be done too often

so today from terminal i typed "uptime"

17:14 up 3 days, 23:59, 2 users, load averages: 1.02 0.94 0.86

so its been running constant for 3 days and has been sleeping normal in this time

now i have enabled bluetooth and started using my magic mouse again, i will see how it goes

further update, since my last update all seems to be running OK. seems to be working fine for weeks now ,

I did think that the problem was the UPS that i have connected but this time i did not connect the USB cable that allows the set up of shutdown timers depending on battery power or time

all worked fine for weeks so now i have connected the USB and all seems fine, the only thing i can think this to be is that

when i did reset the NVRAM i did this 3 times not the normal once so it seem to have been something stuck in NVRAM that may have been left over and so causing the problem

My Mac was taking forever to sleep under Mavericks and is still taking forever under Yosemite. It takes between 70 and 80 seconds to fully go to sleep according to pmset -g log. I don't know what else to do. Is anyone else still having the issue?

i had to reset the NVRAM again but can't exactly say definitely that its one thing or another that triggers this

To reset the NVRAM see this article on how to do this OS X Yosemite: Reset your computer’s PRAM

At step 4 i don't release after the first chime i hold until definitely the 2nd chime as its then that i notice that the sound of the chime is louder as if then its set to the default value or preferably the 3rd then release so it seem to have been something stuck in NVRAM that may have been left over and so causing the problem

I did a clean install of Yosemite about 10 days ago and I haven't seen this behavior since.

Yeah but then all of your stuff is gone and you have to start over. Or do you mean you clean installed and then restored your stuff? What exactly did you do?

hey man I was having the same issue for quite some time. This may not apply to you specifically but may apply to other people having this issue. I had installed the NoSleep program on my computer a month or so ago but ended up deleting the app. turns out it hadn't completely been removed from my laptop. i installed the app again and then ran the uninstall script that came with the program. closed the lid on the laptop and BOOM went straight to sleep. i guess it is probably only relevant if you've installed that program at some stage but hope it helps some people out.
