My 24" 2.8ghz w/4gigs ram iMac running 10.5.8, which I purchased from Smalldog in November 2011, is doing something really annoying! The window that comes up when I turn the machine off is continually popping up, asking am I sure I want to shut my computer down now... When I am in the middle of doing something. When I hit cancel, it pops up again at rapid & decreasing intervals till it stays on thru 4 or 5 clicks of the cancel button, then it will stay off several minutes till it starts the same irritating cycle over again. This sometimes happens very frequently, but sometimes will not happen for a couple of days. It also makes noise, quite bothersome when listening to music or playing a movie. I posted this on the LEM imac list back in march when it first started happening, & the only response got was that might have a stuck on-off switch... personally think it may be software related since it did not manifest itself untill i found out that my wife had been snooping on my computer to see if there was any porn on it... There wasn't. My wife is NOT very computer literate, even though she has been using one since we got a PM 6500 years ago. Later found out she had fooled around with iChat (which I don't use), & iTunes ( which like everyone else I DO use). Any suggestions, or am I going to have to back up, wipe & reformat then re-install??? I do not have install disks.
