I recently got a nMP and I have found that it keeps waking up my monitor (no computer image on screen; just wakes up for a short time and goes back to sleep) when the nMP is supposed to be sleep. I do have this computer wirelessly connected to a Time Capsule so I figure that has something to do with it. I turned off power nap and wake for network access but I am still having the problem. The nMPalso seems to be waking whenever it wants. Can anyone guide me on how I go about diagnosing this problem? I saw an old thread where this problem was mentioned but the commands in terminal to see the reason for the sleep/wake did not work for me.

Thank you all.

My laptop would do this now and then after a shut down/restart. No rhyme or reason and conventional troubleshooting has not uncovered the issue. I've just shut the monitor off while its misbehaving. It seems to eventually settle down.

No help, I know... let us know if you find something that works :)

This is so frustrating. I can't even put my computer to sleep. It wakes and stays on indefinitely. The screen just does not come on. I did a terminal command and I get the following:

localhost kernel[0]: (AppleTopCaseHIDEventDriver) [HID] [ATC] AppleDeviceManagementHIDEventService::processWakeReason Wake reason: Host (0x01)

localhost kernel[0]: (AppleACPIPlatform) AppleACPIPlatformPower Wake reason: EC.DarkPME (Maintenance)


Is this a HS problem? Before this, I was on Yosemite on an older computer. I hate being on the latest OS version for bugs.

I have the same problem, and it is related to energy settings: Wake for network access and Power Nap. When these are disabled, the computer sleeps fine without waking the monitor.

I did a terminal command and I get the following:
What is the terminal command? My computer sleeps fine, only it wakes the monitor ever so often.
 
Just saying that neither of those settings, nor any others including a clean OS install helped me... on the other hand, I haven't been seeing/noticing the wake issue since the laptop logic board was replaced the second time 8 months ago.

Like ColdCase mentioned, none of those things work. I did everything. Fresh OS, downgrade to older OS, safe mode, remove bluetooth wakeup, etc.

I'll see if Apple can help but I think I may have found the cause but I didn't have time to dig deeper. I will later today.
