Address Book Source Sync every 30 seconds when using computer

Hi,

I previously had the issue where my MBA 2013 1.7 i7, 8GB, 500GB was draining the battery in sleep mode. Figured out it was Avast and problem solved.

Now, however, I check on the power management logs from time to time when awake there is the following log:

This doesnt seem normal at all. I have disabled the syncing of all contacts in iCloud prefs but it still persists. Surely if such a process reccurs every 30 seconds it has an effect?

Anyone got any ideas or have experience with this? Seems like Mavericks isn't so great at power saving afterall!

Please test after taking each of the following steps.

Step 1

Back up all data.

Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

~/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBookSourceSync

Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

Services ▹ Reveal

from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash.

Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, go to the next step.

*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select

Go ▹ Go to Folder...

from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Step 2

If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane. Press return to confirm, or click Keep on Mac in the dialog that opens.

Step 3

From the list of groups on the left side of the Contacts window, select All On My Mac. If that group doesn't exist or is empty, skip this step. Otherwise, from the menu bar, select

File ▹ Export ▹ Export vCard

Save the exported contacts to the Desktop.

Step 4

Quit Contacts. Reveal the following item in the Finder as you did in Step 1:

~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook

Move the selected folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.

Step 5

Launch Contacts. Your contacts will be gone. If you took Step 3, then double-click the file you created in that step and confirm that you want to import from it. Your contacts will reappear.

Step 6

If you took Step 2, reverse it. Test. If the issue is resolved, delete the AddressBook folder and the vCard file on the Desktop and close the open folder window.

Otherwise, quit Contacts again and put the AddressBook folder back where it was, overwriting the newer one that will have been created in its place. Post your results.

I am having exactly the same problem as the OP. Here is a section of part of my power management logs.

I have followed all the steps as described by Linc but it has had no effect. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

...and I have since realised that my Mac Pro will not sleep when left unattended. I have to choose sleep from the menu.

Also, here is the output from pmset -g
