Hello again!
My wonderful iMac refuses the sleep mode.
On the firs attempt it sleeps 2 - 3 hours, then wakes up and refuses to sleep again.
I have to switch it off...:(
Can´t upgrade because all my musical equipment must be renewed then, i´m to poor...
Thanx for helping, Olaf
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
Reset the SMC, as per > How to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
Disconnect your external devices one at a time and test it to see if any of those are disturbing sleep.

off power, as in Shutdown from the Apple menu...?
or
off power, as in unplugged or switch off from the outlet...?
There is no need to remove the power from your iMac unless you are servicing it, worried about a lighting storm or something of that nature.
Personally I sleep my Mac's 24-7 and never have any issues. I only shut them down, when I go away for more than 2 days and only unplug them for service and electrical storms.
I have a main switch to cut everything, as there is amplifier and music devices.
It´s a 1 room flat, don´t like the lights at night.
does this affekt our discussion??
I now pulled the plug on the mac as they said at support, we´ll see if that resets something.
It used to work and sleep properly when i bought it but since almost 2 years.... no sleep....
Is there cocaine apps??
Switching off the power can disrupted the iMac's internal System Management Controller.
I would suggest,
1. Resetting the SMC again.
2. Plug the Mac's power cord in before the main switch, so that it always has continuous power.
2. At night, shut the iMac down using the Shutdown menu and switch off the other devices.
3. In the morning, startup the iMac and switch on the other devices.
Then I would test it like that for a few days and see if that cures the problem.
I believe that you are referring to Caffeine.... and NO that will not help you with this problem.
Hello Mr. den.thed!
It´s a miracle to me but your suggestions seem to work!
After almost 2 years of struggeling, and the answer seemes so easy.
Or did you send some secret codes underneath??
Thank you!!!
I tried to value these answers, hope you make tons of points...:)
I leave a link to my youtube channel, if you like. The 1st is in english...
All the Best from Cologne!!

Hello Mr. den.thed !
The phenomenon is back!
It worked perfectly with sleeping and all until i shut it off the first time.
Although i did this reset thing, it again refuses to sleep...:((
Sorry!!
Got any further idea???
Greetz!
Sorry to hear that! If it started happening again after you switching off the power or disconnecting it from the AC power. Then you need to make an appointment with your local Apple Authorized Service Provide and have it check out. I would not bet on it, but suspect that the Internal PRAM Battery needs to be replaced.
seems like a 420 friendly app would be more appropriate in this case. 😉
Hello den.thed!
Thanx for answering!!
My mac is off power every night.
That´s what i understand from the apple support page.
An i did your suggestion 2 too, no help...
Sorry!
OK, thanx so far.
I´ll try this.
The "cocaine app" was just a joke, sorry....
c.u.
Whatever THAT is...
I´ll tell you ´bout results, thanx again!
You're welcome!
Just a little come back joke to counter yours. 😉
Google it and check the results in the urban dictionary.
haha...
I can´t wait it to come to Germany, finding some lazy wuwu - girl, now that my mac snorts softly!!
