What could make a sleeping Mac wake up on its own?
The Mac in question is a recently-bought Mini, running 10.4.3. It's
located in a home-office I have. At various times I put it to sleep,
usually by selecting Apple - Sleep. And indeed it does go to sleep,
and the screen blanks. But on return to the office perhaps 20 minutes
later I find that it is awake. What could be causing it to wake up?
Environment: there is a printer attached, and pretty much permanently
switched on - this is an HP 8450. Wifi is turned off; instead, there
is a permanent ethernet connection. Bluetooth is not enabled.
Keyboard & mouse are USB.
When I put it to sleep I generally leave Safari & Mail running, but
minimised (ie, in the Dock). Most times these (+ Finder) will be the
only visible programs running.
