Since 10.9.2, I can't put my iMac to sleep anymore by pressing the power button.
I loved this function. It was very convenient.
Am I the only one with this problem, or is it a new "feature" ? 😕
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
On laptops you have to hold the power button down for a couple seconds and it goes right to sleep. Should be the same on the iMac.
Thank you !
Also, to make it work, I had to reset the SMC as indicated here

Apple modified the power button behaviour in this update.
The times specifed in this Article are no longer accurate: OS X Mavericks: Using the power button
It now works as follows:
< 0.5 seconds: nothing
± 1 second: sleep
± 2 seconds: Sleep / shutdown / restart dialog
± 5 seconds: forced shutdown
Hm …
I tried it on my MacBook Pro Early 2011 and found that it works as follows:
< 0.5 seconds: nothing
1 second: nothing
2 seconds: nothing
3 seconds: nothing
4 seconds: nothing
5 seconds: forced shutdown
I tried rebooting the system and also resetting the SMC, both to no avail.
Any ideas?
Randy, these steps look suspiciously similar to the SMC reset guide that I followed (twice) before posting here …
