How do I get my Mac to wake after the I close the lid with Mac OS Sierra?

There are quite a few threads about that on the main page of this forum. Do some reading and see if any of those fix this for you 🙂

Consensus seems to be KEXTs related to video. Remove any drivers or add-ons that require a kernel extension to see if that will fix it.

I looked at the other threads but it did not seem to help me.

I tried to do that but could not figure out how to.

First, look for any KEXTs that are not made by apple: "kextstat -l | grep -v com.apple"

Next, see if you recognize any that are related to your screen or video in any way. Many posters mentioned Dual, my problem was a driver for a USB HDMI adapter, yours may be something else.

Once you have identified the KEXT that you think might be the issue, see if there is an uninstaller in your Applications folder for that software. If not, try googling the KEXT for uninstall instructions, since that would be the cleanest way to remove it.

I do not believe that I am entering "kextstat -l | grep -v com.apple" correctly into terminal. This is the result that I get:

So I ran that command and get this:

I am on an IMac, not a macbook and I have Citrix and Oracle's Virtual Box to run some other OS's for my grad program. Any thoughts? I haven't heard that citrix could cause problems, but there seems to be some problems with Parallels, so maybe this Vbox may be a similar issue....

Thanks

You're missing the | character. Copy/paste this into your terminal:

kextstat -l | grep -v com.apple

In my case, it was Duet Display that was causing the problem. Uninstalling it has fixed my issue.

I had the same issue. In my case, I had Duet Display and Virtual Box showing. Uninstalling Duet Display resolved my issue. Virtual Box remains installed and works fine.

Thanks. I did it again and the Splashtop Driver file was found however, I uninstalled the program but I still have the problem. This is the result that I get now since I have uninstalled it and supposedly deleted everything from my MAC related to splashtop.

I have this issue but

kextstat -l | grep -v com.apple

doesn't return anything. I looked through manually and couldn't find anything either. Any ideas?
