The iMac turns itself on. That did NOT happen at my house! How can
I figure out how this is happening and if someone has hacked into it?
First thing I'd check is to see if it's been set to turn on
automatically at some time; this is in the schedule section of the
Enerygy Saver prefs; at least in 10.8 it is; I haven't been on a
system running 10.4 in a dogs age, but I'm pretty sure it's in
there, or maybe it's own preferences pane. This may be settable by
a non-administrator.
Also, don't discount the simplest explanations…something bumped the
button on the side, pretty easy to do, actually, on a G4 iMac.
To the OP, are you sure it turned on and didn't simply wake up?
