I've got an irritating problem with my iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I use WOL (wake-on-lan) and I know that having "Wake for network access" enabled has a bug that constantly wakes up the iMac to check the network status, or something. I thought I would tackle this bug by putting Energy Saver sleep interval to 1 minute, but this works only partially.
Here's how the problem occurred the last time. On Friday 5.7.2013 I left my office for weekend and put iMac to sleep. Then I returned back on Monday and found out that iMac was awake. I checked the wake reasons and the 7 last ones were these:
Sat Jul 6 01:29:37 Anton-Valles-iMac kernel[0] <Debug>: Wake reason = RTC
Sat Jul 6 07:18:08 Anton-Valles-iMac kernel[0] <Debug>: Wake reason = RTC
Sat Jul 6 09:25:51 Anton-Valles-iMac kernel[0] <Debug>: Wake reason = RTC
Sat Jul 6 11:26:08 Anton-Valles-iMac kernel[0] <Debug>: Wake reason = RTC
Sat Jul 6 13:26:25 Anton-Valles-iMac kernel[0] <Debug>: Wake reason = RTC
Sat Jul 6 15:26:42 Anton-Valles-iMac kernel[0] <Debug>: Wake reason = RTC
Sat Jul 6 17:26:59 Anton-Valles-iMac kernel[0] <Debug>: Wake reason = RTC
There's no clear difference with these RTCs, but the last one kept the iMac awake for the whole weekend.
So, what's suddenly keeping my iMac awake?
Disabling the "Wake for network access" is not an option for me, since I need it to receive magic packets that wake it up when I need to access it remotely through internet.
