I downloaded some updates on Sunday including Safari 4 and the Bluetooth firmware and since then I cannot put the computer to sleep, it comes straight back on again. I have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard but have unchecked the box marked allow bt devices to wake from sleep and I've repaired permissions. Any ideas please.

Wouldn't be Firefox would it?
My Imac refuses to sleep with this running.
Just a thought.

I also am having some issues with my MBP sleeping too.

Fully updated, but it's happening more often.

To the OP:

It's possible the SMC on your machine went out of whack when you installed the updates, or, it may be a coincidence. In any event, try resetting the System Management Controller on your machine. See the following Apple KB article: Link
