[QUOTE="Checco, post: 1552282, member: 222519"] -It is really asleep: I put my ear to the top of the iMac and it's nice and quiet. After a couple of hours, the alumin(i)um is cold to the touch. -I do have a cat, but he somehow knows that nine lives don't last long if you go near an iMac ;D Jokes aside, he doesn't jump up onto the desk (also, this would wake it and prevent further sleep until Preferences timeout, which is 3 hrs, to allow for downloads). -No alarms are set. Here is more of what I see: I can't tell the exact frequency at which it occurs, but the fans and HDD can be heard running (the room has to be quiet to hear it). The screen doesn't come on and I've never heard it play a sound, for example the time announcement. It almost seems like a periodic interrupt to perform some housekeeping functions, staying on for a minute or two and then back down to sleep. Another observation is that when I wake it after a few hours of sleep, I find new mail already in the Inbox (Gmail in browser), so something had to have been going on.
