Hello Christina,
Go to Apple (control F2), System Preferences, Energy Saver.
Select the "Power Adapter" tab.
If you have "Wake for Network Access" checked, uncheck it.
This option means your computer can be turned on by certain requests from your
network, especially if you have an Airport route
Thanks. Well, I thought I had figured it out. I shut down my macbook last
night and this morning it was back on. :(. I either did not cool it down
enough or that was not the problem. Maybe my macbook is haunted. I'll check
out the fan utility and keep you all posted if I figure it out.

Hi Christina:
My answer will not be likely to be very helpful. But, perhaps your computer
is haunted?
Ok, on a more serious note: Mine only runs pretty warm when I'm running a lot
of apps at the same time, forcing it to work harder, or when I operate it on a
soft surface. The only other tim
Christine,
Actually, Ray & I just went through this on this list. There were a lot of
opinions. But, after researching in many places, both Ray & I installed a

I do not think this is your issue, but take a look at the following:
1. Open up the System Preference Pane for energy Saver.
2. Click the schedule button near the bottom.
3. Review all the settings in this dialog.

Hi Christina,
Umm, I can't even begin to imagine why this would be happening. It never has
for me. The only thing I can think of is that when you hit the power button
you use S for shut down, which actually stands for sleep.
Sorry I can't be more helpful, but this is very strange.

Hi all,
Every time I shutdown my macbook it won't stay off. No, I am not hitting
restart instead of shut down. A couple of months ago I had to take my mac book
to the genius bar so I kept shutting down the computer and it kept restarting.
I wanted to turn the computer off before I put it int
