rMBP 2015 Wake Reason: ARPT (Network)

I can't seem to find out what is waking my Mac up so much. Battery life on standby is terrible. Snippet from running "syslog | grep -i "Wake reason"" through Terminal:

Can't seem to find out the issue via Google. I have extensively searched.


Appreciate any help.


P.S. this is a duplicate from rMBP 2015 10.10.3 Wake Reason: ARPT (Network). I do not know how it ended up in the OS X Mavericks section because I clearly remembered choosing Yosemite from the dropdown list. Anyhow, that one is closed and I would appreciate any help I can get from this section of the forum.


Thanks.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Same here. I played with DNT setting as well. No effect.

My wake reasons are redundance of the following reason.

Same issue with my MacBook 2015 guys, latest model, latest Yosemite.

Just doesn't go to sleep, or keeps waking up at least.


Since the new Yosemite update I've been struggling with WiFi connectivity generally - all Mac's I have (iMac, MBP, MB). On the laptops, almost every time i close the lid and open it up again i have to switch off wifi and then switch it back on again for it to work (though, it gets an ip address, it just doesn't load anything, as if its not connected - until i off/on the adapter).


Could the WiFi driver be causing the waking issue too?


In the last 3 purchases of Macs, i have had an issue out of the box with every single one of them.

Just getting frustrated that rather than improving software, they are getting worse and more unstable... and rather than improving materials, they are breaking easier and easier. Very annoyed with Apple.


If I go to the Apple store regarding this, and once again they tell me that after spending £1200 on a laptop 3 weeks ago, I need to send it of for repair, I swear to god I will beat the genius guy with it till he/she cries.

Hi, miromitov. As it's said, OS X El Capitan is considered a great stability release. Maybe you can try it out when the public beta is offered. Mid July maybe.

As for the wake stuff, I think I messed with it for this long and made some progress and discoveries.

1. It's almost always related to WiFi. Turning off the WiFi before sleeping solves the problem.

2. Option-clicking the notification icon in the top right corner enters the DND mode. It greatly helps.

3. Turn off these two options in Energy Saver "wake for network access" and "Enable power nap". Since we are all 2015 models, you should also see those options listed. If not, open terminal and paste the following code and press enter. Then copy paste your output here for further investigation. 😀

The command to enter in terminal:

pmset -g

Jun 25, 2015 6:43 PM in response to DerekLeung

Hi, Leung. Here's my output for 'pmset -g'.

I completely disabled the standby feature. If I closed my lid, my mac directly enters sleep mode. Without the need to write stuff to disk, it kept them right in memory. There may be some danger if your mac lose power completely. But I don't think this would happen to me. So I just ignore this warning. For those who would dive into this, entering "man pmset" in terminal to check out the detailed info.
