MacBook Pro turns itself on every night at 8:00 p.m. EDT

I am getting freaked out! I am a new Mac user, and my factory new MacBook Pro will turn itself on (a full start, boot up) every night at 8:00 p.m. This is a cold boot up. The computer is not in sleep mode. Additionally, I have not done any auto wake or sleep commands. I have seen this issue mentioned by a few other folk, but I do not see Apple providing a response. It is creepy and it needs to be fixed. HELP.

There is nothing in preferences I have set to cause the computer to start up. It does not seem to do when it is not plugged into the ac adapter. It appears to happen only when the computer is hooked up to ac. I can always tell it has turned itself on, because the glow from the latch starts. I cannot take the computer back because it is past 14 days, and Apple Tech Support, when I called them about this, was useless. Since no one has been able to answer it in the forum, I can only suspect there is something wrong with the computer. Everything else with the computer seems to be fine. I just don't want my hardware to be working when I don't want it to work, and I have concerns about security. I have taken the AirPort offline when I log off, but given the computer turns itself on, I do not take comfort in supposing by turning off the function, the MB has actually followed the command. What else is the computer doing contrary to what I want it to do?

Mac Pro turns itself on every day at the same time

My Mac Pro suddenly decided to start turning itself on every day at 6:00:12pm local time (12:00:12AM GMT). It turns on at exactly 12 seconds after 6:00pm every day.
I recently upgraded to OSX 10.5 and installed the point update. It did it before the point update and continues to after the point update.
I have had it since April and it has never done this before. It did NOT do this under 10.4.
I have the options in system settings to NOT wake on LAN event and NOT restart after power failure. It is NOT set to automatically turn on but it is set to automatically turn itself off at 1:00am.
These settings have not changed since 10.4 and I have verified them. No other software has recently been installed since the update to 10.5. I did update the Wacom driver to the new Leopard driver. That is all. I have the Wacom tablet unplugged from the computer.
Any ideas?
Here is the console log from yesterday. It pretty much looks the same every day.

Updates installed by Software Update are "delta" updates - they go from 10.x.y to 10.x.y+1, and are customized for a particular Mac model. It appears that in this case they also patch some files instead of replacing them fully. The "combo" update will update 10.x.anything to the latest 10.x.y, it'll update any Mac model, and in this case it appears they contain full files instead of patches. The delta updater for 10.5.1 is about 39 MB; the combo updater is about 110 MB. You can download the combo updater from the Support site. Sites such as www.macfixit.com often recommend installing the combo updater instead of, or after, the delta updater, as it often solves mysterious problems. One specific example is the numerous "SUID" messages when doing a "repair permissions" - the combo update gets rid of all but one, and that one is specifically stated by Apple to be okay. Of course, no guarantees, but the combo updater is a reasonable thing to try.

The phone turns itself off every night

Every night my iPhone 4 turns itself off so that nobody can call me, and I do not receive any messages. If someome calls me, they are told that I can not be reached. To "open" the phone again, I have to make a call. Then it works all right the rest of the day. But the next morning it is "closed" again. It is a new phone. I complained and I got a new one, but it has the same problem.

Try to set it up as new device, without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt data causing your problem. How to back up your data and set up as a new device

Is Leaving MacBook Pro Turned On 24 Hours Bad?

Hello. I'm just wondering whether it is okay to leave my MacBook Pro turned on all day.
I often forget to turn off my laptop and I'm a bit worried whether not tunrining it off can
bring bad results.

Leaving it plugged in for a 24hr period will not harm it at all. I've had mine plugged in for days at a time, and even running at near 100% cpu useage for up to 96hrs straight for some analyses.
You should, however, try to unplug it and use the battery a bit at least every few days or once a week or so - just a partial discharge and charge at least every few days or min. of once a week is a good idea to make the battery last as long as possible.

I am trying to install windows 7 to my Macbook pro with bootcamp but every time I open bootcamp I am only able to check the first two boxes but not the third one saying "install or remove Windows 7", any solutions ?

Hi, I am trying to install Windows on my MacBook Pro with bootcamp. Every time I open bootcamp I am only able to check the first two boxes but not the third one saying "install or remove Windows 7". I did this before using the same computer and the same hard drive so I am not sure why this is happening now but did´t happen then. Any solutions ?

Was your Bootcamp info.plist manipulated to change any options?

My MacBook Pro turns on but not all the way, it gives me an icon of a grey folder with a question mark in the middle, and won't go further that that. Anyone knows why, or what's the problem?

If these do not resolve the issue or if you are not comfortable with proceeding through these steps then take your Mac to an Apple store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. An Apple store will perform these initial steps, diagnose the problem, and give an estimate for repairs (if needed). If the Mac is less than one year old or is covered by AppleCare any repairs would be free.

Why don't you contact the online store's customer support?

The battery icon on my (old) MacBook Pro turned red. Then black. What does this mean?

The battery icon on my (old) MacBook Pro turned red for a few moments, then black. What does this mean?

penny41,
Thanks, glad it helped you to check your battery status.
Something else to look at would be the cycle count, as you mention that your computer is "ancient". If you have a high number of cycles, it may also be a sign that the battery is tired and possibly nearing it's life span, and may possibly need to be replaced soon. If you see that again you may try a SMC reset to see if that helps, but if it continues you may need a new battery at some point. The battery icon will usually say needs service, or something to that effect. For the later MBP's Apple claims a life span of up to 1000 cycles, of this also will be dependent on who the battery is used, on the older ones I'm not quite sure what the claims were, and I don't know how old "ancient" in your case actually means.
I provide this for your info, so that you understand what may possibly be occurring.
I wish you the best.
SMC reset:
Follow directions for what applies to your machine, a battery you can remove, or a battery you should not remove yourself.

Downloaded 11.0.3 (42) 64 bit to my MacBook Pro and it crashes every time I select a song a use the 'add to' function to add to a play list. It's never done this before, is it a bug with the new version?

You could just disable updates. Change these settings in about:config.
* app.update.auto - set to false
* app.update.enabled - set to false
You can still check for updates with the "Check for Updates" button in the About Firefox window, but it will download the update file anyway if there is an update available. You can also check which is the current release from here:

Try booting in Safe Mode by holding your Shift key down when booting. Also, try holding the eject key down when booting to eject the DVD. If you plug a mouse in and hold the clicker down when booting, that should eject the DVD.

MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on.

MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on. Battery had 41% just before this happened and green indicator on power cord is showing, so it seems like it's charging. What should I do?

The led on the power adapter should be amber if it is charging. Green just indicates that it is supplying power to the MBP.
Try a SMC reset:
