MacBook Pro doesn't sleep when lid closed after updating to Mojave 10.14

It also worked for me (MacBook Pro 13" retina late 2013).

After deleting DGVirtualDisplay.kext (~/Library/Extensions/DGVirtualDisplay.kext) and restarting my mac, it goes into sleep mode perfectly.

DGVirtualDisplay.kext seems to be a file for app named Twomon PC Program.

It's also called TwomonUSB and it's an application for dual monitors using tablets.

Perhaps other apps for dual monitors might also cause this problem.

Make sure nothing is connected to the machine other than power. Make sure wake from sleep is disabled.

If you are still getting your machine to stay awake with a closed lid run Etrecheck and see if anything else is memory resident. Copy the results of Etrecheck, and someone can tell you if it might interfere with sleep.

Everyone, it seems earlier in this conversation the problem was solved by one of the commenting users already, his solution worked for me as well (on a mid-2012 13" MBP which has an SSD for the system), try this:

The same problem too. I solved the problem by deleting the file below.

DGVirtualDisplay.kext

I could not see where this file was used. However, it goes into sleep mode.

Op has posted the answer when detailing his crash report, mine was also in the folder: *systemdrive*/Library/Extensions/DGVirtualDisplay.kext

I hope this helps. OSX Finder doesn't look in this folder (it might be even hidden for you guys, but it's there...)

VirtualBox if running might also affect whether or not the machine sleeps, as it tries to emulate other environments simultaneously.

The same problem too. I solved the problem by deleting the file below.

DGVirtualDisplay.kext

I could not see where this file was used. However, it goes into sleep mode.

I'm facing the same issue. Already did a complete reinstall. Older posts suggest to delete Google Account from machine. It seemed to work yesterday, but when I rebooted today it happened again that my Macbook Air (2013) would not go into sleep mode when I closed the lid.

However, I logged out and in again and sleep seems to work. Maybe you can use this as a workaround until we get a fix.

After the upgrade to 10.14.3 i noticed a little improvement with sleep issue on my MBP Retina.

when i quickly close the lid, after 2 sec the laptop wakes up (with the lid closed). if i close the lid slowly it remains in sleep mode (even if it's connected with the charger). did anybody try this?

Hope this trick will help those who had the sleep/wake issue.

You are close to capacity on your 425 GB partition. You should have at least 15% free.

org.pqrs.karabiner.karabiner_grabber.plist

looks like malware, and anyconnect should only be used if you are allowing other people remote access to your machine.

Filepane helper sounds like GUI modification tool. I would not use such tools.

And I would clear all startup items from your system preferences account to ensure the problem is not happening with them. Install them back one at a time once you verify each one is not to blame. Isolate the problem.

As a temporary fix i switched back to High Sierra. Untill the apple geniuses fix this OSX issue i will keep using sierra.

i don't think is our "job" (as end users) to fix their os issues, or other hardware/software issues. we pay a quite big amount of money on apple product and we expect to be the best quality (at last me i'm expecting this).

Same problem here on a mid 2012 MB Pro. I did find that if I unplug the power cord and then close the lid, the machine does sleep. Leaving the cord in, closing the lid and then unplugging results in no sleep.

APPLE - NEED A FIX!!!!

Use Activity Monitor App to discover what apps that may be preventing Sleep:

Not having Sleep related issues with my Early 2015 MacBook.

The same problem for me with my macbook pro late 2013, today I woke up with 80% battery dropped. We have in common that I also have installed Cisco Anyoneconnect 4.5.05030.

I'll try to find the latest version to see if solves the issue.
