Q: Account ID taking 30 seconds to sleep

What would cause one login ID to take 30 to 35 seconds to sleep than another account ID on the same machine?

 

How can I determine what's causing the delay for the account user?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), 16GB DDR2 RAM

    Hello LocknLoad,

     

    From what I gather, there’s an issue with your iMac sleeping when logged in to a specific user account. The article linked below provides user specific troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the sleep issue with your iMac.

    Try another user account

    Try creating another user account, or log in as guest. See if your computer sleeps and wakes properly from the additional user account. If it does, your issue may be related to one of the following:

    You can disable login items from the Accounts pane of System Preferences. Try opening only one app at a time in the original user account to determine which app is preventing sleep. If you isolate the issue to a particular app or login item, check its documentation, or contact the developer of that software for more information.

     

    Ciao,
