[QUOTE="technologist, post: 1308898, member: 4134"] Which does not apply when the machine is asleepWhich does not apply to wi-fi networks while asleep No ordinary application can do this. Even specialty apps like Sleepless won't wake a Mac that was deliberately put to sleep. The only way your laptop could be woken while properly packed away is by Bluetooth, or by deliberately setting it to wake according to a schedule in System Preferences. And the latter will start the computer even if it's shut down. (If you use Bluetooth, you should turn discoverability off and leave behind or turn off any Bluetooth devices.) There is always some danger in carrying a $1000+ computer around in the wide world. Sleep does not elevate these risks. [/QUOTE]
