Possible causes of a self-waking Mac
this is still plaguing me with two insomniac episodes this week. i filed a bug report at apple (#5815010 iMac randomly awakes from system sleep - won't go back to sleep afterwards 23-Mar-2008 10:24 AM Open). dunno that it'll help, but it can't hurt.

Do you by chance have VersionCue installed? It's part of the Adobe CS suite.
That was the cause of my problem, see: How can I help a loved one (who is not human) overcome insomnia? I was watching the system log using console and chased after the BlueTooth thing for quite a while, ("IOBluetoothHCIController::restartShutdownWL this is a wake from sleep") but that turns out to be a red herring, it's an effect, not a cause. I dragged a copy of VersionCue onto the Desktop and deleted it from /Library/StartupItems (not your user library, the top level library is where it's installed). Oddly enough I realized that I should have removed it's pref pane so I put it back and had to authenticate the move. Poof... the problem was gone. I was going to uninstall it properly but just moving it around fixed something so for now I've left it. So it had something to do with VersionCue even though it's still there. It's turned off but it's always been turned off. On another note for someone else with sleeplessness problems I have an ancient HP 6MP printer connected via a Belkin USB to Parallel adaptor (via a 16 foot active USB cable as well). If the printer is turned off sometimes the computer constantly gets USB wake-ups (USB caused wake event). So I was troubleshooting two problems at the same time.

been a while but the answer is no. i've since upgraded to 10.5 & cs3 (& declined to even install version cue on that install). i still have occasional insomnia bouts with my machine. |
