[QUOTE="kjsmith20, post: 1577552, member: 324332"] [b]wireless[/b] I too am having "ghost in the machine" issues where i hear the hard drive spinning while my mac mini is in sleep mode. The screen doesn't come on at all, and I have it set to require a password upon waking. Airport is off (connected by hardwired Ethernet) and all sharing is unticked. So after reading in this discussion about "wake for wireless" I went to my System Preferences and typed "wireless" into the search box. It highlighted "bluetooth" as well, so I unchecked both the "on" and "discoverable" boxes, as I don't need to access my computer remotely. I am hoping this stops it from making spooky, power-wasting noises. Let me know if this helps, I will try to track mine and see if it still does this. I had a similar problem years ago with a G3, but I replaced my cheap USB hub and it fixed it that time. So 2 ideas for you to try. [/QUOTE]
