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

Just installed Mavericks. My iMac 27" no longer engages the screensaver or puts the monitor to sleep as specified in preferences as a result. When I enter pmset -g assertions in Terminal, I get the following:

I'm not terribly concerned with "ExternalMedia" as that always appeared in Mountain Lion as well but never actually prevented my system from putting the monitor to sleep. My concern is with the "UserIsActive" item as it appears to refer to "MAGICWAKE" (a google search only shows an app that I do not have installed and sheds no light on what it means in this context) and points directly to my keyboard and trackpad. Oddly, turning "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" in the Bluetooth advanced preferences does not change this, nor does rebooting. The countdown that appears here is always in the 1160 to 1195 range. I'm completly stumped...

iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

terriblewithcomputers - Maybe Apple should pay us all for spending so much time fixing our own problems!


So, thought i might as well add mine to the list -

MacBook Pro 15" (matte HD screen), early 2011, 8GB RAM, 500GB Hitachi (7,200rpm i think?) hard drive.

No mods, and never used any bluetooth peripherals (that I can remember).

I've never noticed it taking any time to sleep until upgrading to marericks a couple of weeks ago, now it takes around 45 seconds to go to sleep (with no programs open), BUT waking up is pretty much instant, which is nice, although sometimes there's a 5-10 second dely before i can type - I think that's usually after the computer has been asleep for a while, overnight for example (if that makes a difference!?).


I was also having an (unrelated I think) issue where the computer would regularly wake from sleep by itself but I think unchecking the 'wake for network access' has solved that.


Looking forward to finding a solution!... now how do I stop the noise from my hard drive...

Hey guys,


I have the same problem since Mavericks.


In ML it took too long to go to sleep, so I changed the sleep mode to 0. It was slow because the 16Gigs of RAM were written to my HD first.

After I changed it to 0, my Mac fell asleep 1 second after I closed it.


Since I upgraded to Mavericks, it takes too long. About 1 or 1:30 minute.


Here's the Terminal output:

The specs:

2.2GHz i7

500GB 5400 HD

16GB 1333 RAM


I really hope we find a solution!

I might as well add my two cents. That darn tickle in 3591 seconds??

Here is a video showing the extent of the problem (WARNING very boring video 🙂 ).

Computer + Display sleep were set at 1min.


Display went to sleep after about 2 minutes, and it took an additional 1min30 for the computer to go to sleep (blinking LED).
