Aluminum iMac display waking on its own [unsolved]
Anyone else having this problem? In the last month or so my display will wake on its own. It’s kinda creepy at night. I’m not running any remote control software.
This hasn’t happened since my vine server break in several months ago, but I uninstalled vine.

I’ve heard this problem from some other people actually. The cause was that someone nearby had an iMac and was using their Front Row or Apple TV remote control to wake/ operate their own computer. Turns out the remotes are all on the same frequency or at the very least many of them are on the same frequency (which is just plain bad design if you ask me) so someone with a similar machine who lives within range can say….unintentionally rewind your movie while you’re watching it or turn up your volume…or play Scooby Doo villain to wake your comuter in the middle of the night. I know you said you weren’t running any remote control software but if your computer had Front Row remote enabled then maybe this is the problem?
If so I think you just need to disable the remote control input. I found a post here that might help with the problem.
