Possible causes of a self-waking Mac
Authored by: vidgizmo on Jul 31, '07 09:08:16AM

I've actually had several instances w/ my MacBook Pro of either not going to sleep, or waking up, or not waking up. I seem to have minimized these by unchecking two items.

1. From Bluetooth preferences uncheck "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" -- of course this means your won't be able to wake your computer w/ your bt kbd or bt mouse.

2. From Energy Saver prefs, under options, uncheck "Wake for Ethernet network administrator access".

Possible causes of a self-waking Mac
Authored by: JimMueller on Aug 02, '07 07:38:22PM

My wife and I have identical 17" MacBok Pros. About twice a month, hers wakes up after its lid is closed and it goes to sleep. When it does this it gets very hot by the next morning and cannot be awoken - we have to crash it by holding in the power button.

I know we have turned off the "Bluetooth will wake" but it keeps turning itself back on after several days. we'll have to check the "Wake on LAN" setting.

There is nothing plugged into our MBPs when they are asleep except power and gigabit ethernet.
