Q: My iMac won't sleep; I have a request for anyone who has an iMac that DOES sleep properly.
My iMac constantly defers sleeping and wakes the display every 15 minutes or so. I ran the terminal command "pmset -g log" and am trying to interpret the results.
Can someone with a well-behaving Mac post the terminal results to "pmset -g log" so I can see what a normal output looks like? It'll help me get a better idea of what's different in my results.
Also, if anyone does know how to interpret the log, please let me know if you see clear problems with my system. Log snippet here:
