My Mac turns itself on during the night?!

I've noticed that my MBP seems to turn itself on during the night - I think around 1am. I've looked in the Energy Saver Schedule and there's nothing set up for it to come on.
I'm a little confused as to what may be causing this. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Do you have eyeTV on your Mac? This is what I've found to be the cause of my Mac turning itself on at 1am every morning.
If so, does your Mac turn itself on at a set time every day? If so, check what time that is in the Console. You'll need this so you can manually set your clock in order to test it all out.
I then decided to delete all preferences with elgato in the name in both my Mac prefs and User prefs (make sure you have your eyeTV serial number as you'll need to enter this when you next start up eyeTV.
Okay, then start up eyeTV and go through the whole process - just make sure you uncheck things that will be automatic i.e. channel listings etc.
Then quit eyeTV and set your computer clock to just around 40 seconds before it turns your Mac on and then put it to sleep - if it doesn't wake up then great - if it does then you'll need to delete the elgato prefs from just your User prefs and start up eyeTv again - go into the prefs of the program and uncheck anything that appears automatic i.e. automatically check for updates etc
Hopefully this'll work as it's worked for me - a bit of a pain but a least I no longer get woken up with the famous Mac BOOOONNNGGGG

  • My iphones turned itself off during the night and I cannot turn it back on - it did not get in touch with watter

    My charged my phone last nigh and used it literally before I went to bed. I woke uo this morning and the phone was off and I cannot turn it back on.
    It was warking perfectly fine last night.
    I have watterproof case on it and always in my handbag, just in case you want to mention that it has to be watter. It is not!

    Remove the phone from its case and try this...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • IMac turns itself on during the day

    I don't know what is going on. All of a sudden my iMac turns itself on in the middle of the day. It is off when I leave for work (not asleep) and on when I come home. It only seems to happen during the weekday.
    I have EyeTV on my computer which can turn it on before recording a program, but I don't record anything during the day.
    Is there a log file I can look at to see if I can figure out what is causing it to turn on?
    Thanks!

    When you go there hit the "Schedule..." button and see if it selected if you havent already done that and then id see if your permissions are messed up its unlikely but if the powermanagment systems perrmisions get messed up it can cause things like that to happen

  • IPad turns on itself and turns on WiFi after both shut down especially during the night

    This happens to all my Apple devices, 3 months new MacBookPro, iPad mini, and iPhone. I shut things down when I am not using it, and I turn my phone off too. But, in the past couple of months, there are many times when I go to use my devices, especially the MacBookPro and iPad, they are turned on who knows when and how, remotely by someone or backdoor, and hooked on this website via WiFi: mzstatic.com.
    Does Apple secretly collect user data? Is there back door preplanted into the system?
    How can the devices turn them selves on after being completely shut down? and turns the WiFi on (I turn the WiFi off from the settings panel, not just the top tool bar), and hook themselves to this specific site? My security software shows this site belongs to Apple.
    Please explain how this could happen again and again, no matter how completely you shut them down? Why it only happens when I am not using it,especially during the nights when I am sleeping?

    Is your battery dead or alive?
    If the battery is dead, we must find out if it is:
    1. Charger problem
    2. Cable problem
    3. Docking port problem
    4. Wall socket problem

  • Hey (: I have the new iPad and I want to ask what is "healthier" for the battery : turn the device off in the night or keep it on during the night ? Thank you !

    Hey (: I have the new iPad and I want to ask what is "healthier" for the battery : turn the device off in the night or keep it on during the night ? Thank you !

    BTW, statements like
    "Use the device until the battery has drained to the point of self-shutdown. Basically, use it until it turns itself off."
    in articles like the one at http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/ are complete BS and if you do follow their "advice", your battery life will be severely hampered. Particularly if you also follow one of the comments: "Step One.One: Leave the device for 5+ hours before start charging. This will fully drain the battery." Well, the guy that advised the latter certanly doesn't know anyhting about lithium batteries and the damage deep discharging does to them.
    Again, what the article (and the above-cited comment) advices is complete b*llsh*t and noone should really do this.

  • Is it better to leave your macbook pro in sleep mode during the night or have it shutdown all night?

    Is it better to leave your macbook pro in sleep mode during the night or have it shutdown all night?

    During sleep, your MacBook consumes a little part of the battery, so it won't harm leaving it in sleep mode. Also, you will be able to start using it quickly, as you don't need to wait until Mac OS X turns on.
    I only recommend you to turn off the MacBook if you are not going to use it for days in order to save battery, but apart from that, you don't need to turn it off

  • Machine turns itself on all the time

    Hi - Ive installed Leopard on 2 of our machines - the iMac, which is (mostly) okay after the transition, and my partner's Mac Mini. The Mini turns itself on every day despite the fact that none of the schedule options are set. It is on the network, although the setting to "wake" for admin is not set. (Im not sure what time it turns on - it's always already on by the time I open the office at 8.30 am). Im now way too put off Leopard to install it on my iBook - apart from the millions of bugs and glitches Leopard has, making my iBook Tiger my only stable machine, I really cant afford to have a charged laptop turning itself on all the time!
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Rod

    You might try resetting the PRAM and power management unit of the computer. To reset the PRAM, hold down opt-cmd-P-R on boot until the thing chimes twice, then release the keys and let it boot normally. To reset the power management unit on the Mac Mini, follow the instructions on this page: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300574

  • Lumia 920 freezes/crashes during the night. Can't ...

    I have had my Lumia for 10 days and for the second time it crashes during the night and the next morning I was not able to turn it on using the power button. I had to do a soft reset... The alarm that I set to wake me up never started... This means that I cannot trust my phone for waking me up in the morning! This is unacceptable!

     There is a possible alternative to the flashing or reset suggestet by the care point.
    As the problem only started recently, there is a high probability that it is caused by a bad app or setting or the combination of the two. The alternative is to reverse whatever apps you installed or settings you changed just before this problem started.
    The flashing is just an easy way out because it reverts the phone back to its out of the box condition. However, you may find yourself in the same situation again should you install the same app or make the same setting changes after the flashing.
    I had a similar problem with one app but I managed to isolate it and the problem disappeared after I uninstalled the app. The app was pulled subsequently and updated by the developer and is now working fine on my phone.

  • My phone made random calls during the night

    I plugged in my phone as always for the night to charge.  When I woke up, the screen was magnified and my daughter said I had called her numerous times during the night.  My recent calls list showed multiple calls to her cell phone, to her work, and to her by face time.  How was this possible?  Also had a draft of an email started with all random letters typed in.  What is going on and how do i fix this?

    I did the hard reset as you suggested.  Last night I completely turned off my phone.  I woke up this morning and when I turned on my phone, this is what was on it: 
    Then I had to restart my phone to get it back up and working normal.
    Starting to believe the phone is possessed!

    Hi daveormond,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iMac. If you continue to have issues with your Mac shutting down part way through the boot up process, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful (given your description, it sounds like it could be either issue, or a combination of both):
    Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup - Apple Support
    OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem." - Apple Support

  • My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time for no reason every time I put it on silent or just get a Facebook message I have a broken sleep/power button anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

    The "fix" is to get the phone repaired.  There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
    Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you. 

  • I have recently got a new replacement iPhone 4.  since I got this I have found that my data allowance is getting used up during the night while my phone is charging on the bedside table.  How an I find out what is causing this and stop it happening

    I have recently got a new replacement iPhone 4.  Since I got this I have found that my data allowance is getting used up during the night while my phone is charging on the bedside table.  How an I find out what is causing this and stop it happening?  Some nights the usage is 150 meg!

    You can not access the backup directly.
    Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
    If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
    If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device?

  • Process orders in the weekend moving during the night in APO/PPT1

    Hello Gurus,
    I have a problem on the scheduling of production orders when these orders are scheduled
    on the week end.
    Problem description: 
    On day 1 the short term planner schedules production orders in PPT1 (APO) on the
    week end.
    During the night these production orders are re-exploded in ECC (see: COR2 => Read
    Master Data)
    On day 2 the end production date of orders that were in the week end, have moved
    by the system to the Sunday night.
    Step 1: The order is scheduled on the week end on Saturday 14 March 2015.
    Step 2: We explode the order in ECC
    In ECC, we have:
    But if we check the order in APO, we have:
    You can see that the process order are placed at the night of sunday, also if in ECC after explosion was always where was planned.
    Have you any idea how to avoid that the process order moving in APO ?
    Thanks Gurus.

  • Do not execute job during the night

    Hallo everybody!
    I have a background job that runs every 10 minutes.
    I don't want it to run during the night. Is it possible?
    Thank you very much indeed.
                 Mick

    This may be helpful to you: 'At Operation mode' while giving start condition. Sap documentation says:
    Operation Mode
    Procedure
    You can enter any name for the operation mode, but ensure that it is meaningful and that it makes the task of the operation mode clear.
    Examples
    Normal operation
    Night operation
    You may have to  configure this operation mode in SPRO according to your requirement.
    Thanks,

  • Can you block syncing of email during the night?

    Is there a setting that block syncing during the night? Some time setting that you can put in a beginning and ending time to sync every day?

    Sure this works, but it isn't exactly practical. To have push e-mail daytime but not at night you'd have to remember to activate/deactivate the feature twice a day.
    Wouldn't it be nice if you had a settings pane where you could specify at which times you want push and not?
