Tale of the Bodysnatcher...er Computer Snatcher....

We finally figured out what was causing my computer to turn on at will. After many emails, a few text messages, and a lot of digging around, the mystery was solved last night.

And who was the Highjacker?

EyeTV.

EyeTV was responsible for the strange starting up of my computer. After talking with my cousin, I got to digging around in the preferences and found some selections. One had EyeTV set to check every 3 hours for updates (hmmm....this is about how long it took my computer to turn back on). The other was a box that said, "Wake computer if necessary". Needless to say I disabled all of those.

Last night, the Mac stayed off all night.

Yay!

Thanks to Jeff and J who really helped me out. You guys are great!

I knew it wasn't the Mac going on the fritz. It's not like it runs Windows or anything...
