Mysterious Restart?

Mysterious Restart? - 09/25/12 03:25 AM

After repeated warnings of severe thunderstorms etc. I decided to turn the iMac off for the night.
However, at exactly five o'clock this morning the iMac turned itself on.
How the heck can that happen? I had not set up any alarms etc.
It just came on!
Any ideas, suggestions anyone?

Are you sure you didn't set a schedule in Energy Saver?

Hmmm.... I'll be darned! Someone else had set up a 'wake up' schedule for five o'clock!
I think I became a victim of a nasty prank... Darn kids!!!

Thanks for the help!!
