The Apple Blog Community - View Single Post - Why does my mac wake up by itself a 3:00 AM? Global conspiracy?

The "wake for ethernet net admin" is not checked.

I'm using a wired router while she has a wireless router. I don't think it's related. We are also on different ISPs. And that shouldn't be related with out problem either.

Common System Preferences: Desktoptopia, Growl, Perian

Common Applications: Adium, Adobe Photoshop with all the related crap (Bridge, Device Central, Extension Manager, Help Viewer, Stock Photos), AppZapper, Awaken, Disco, GimmeSomeTune, Google Notifier, Google Updater (I deleted it on my mac, maybe there are some remains), LimeWire, Pixelmator, Skype, Stuffit Expander, Transmission, VLC, Yahoo! Messenger.

That's about it. Ones that make sense out of these: Awaken, GimmeSomeTune, Google Notifier/Updater, Limewire, Transmission.

Out of these, only Awaken ever asked for special privilages. Is it possible to be the AwakenHelper background process?

I hope we can figure this out.

And thanks to TAB staff for posting this on the main page, as forum activity. I hope it helps getting more answers.

Update: Actually I don't think Limewire has any backgound process and I never keep it running, so let's just ignore that one.
