Hi Linda, There is a power management update from Apple that may apply to your iMac. Go here and have a look. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120048 here's a quote from the article: "About the iMac Power Management Update Many people switch off their power strips or unplug their computers to conserve energy. When you disconnect your iMac from power, it relies on an internal battery to remember the date and time and some control panel settings. After you install this update, your iMac will keep these settings for a longer period of time when disconnected from AC power."
