No, it's not always there in Activity Monitor. I asked someone at work and they asked if I was running a printer to be available on the network (from the Terminal dump) and aha, I set that up a couple of weeks ago so it looks like the culprit.

So I'll throw in to the *other* current thread that wireless printers can prevent your mac going to sleep! (Haven't got home to test it yet)

Thanks

Hi smuggers

My venerable Mac Pro (2010) refuses to sleep even when I set it to va the menu, never mind the settings in Energy Saver. I've looked at what is Preventing Sleep in Activity Monitor and run pmset -g assertions in Terminal (which I got from the web). It returns this (see below).

Can anyone help me work this out? Firstly it lists all USB devices (are they really all telling the Mac to be awake? I'd have thought this was latent). It says one external media is active but I tried ejecting them all and it still wouldn't sleep. The NetworkClient seems to be something to do with IP scheduling (cups). The Photos Agent isn't always in the list so I'm discounting that.

Any ideas? It's getting a bit ridiculous as the room is warm enough and I don't like leaving it on 24/7.

Thanks
J
