Hi, I'm new to the mac-forums and hope someone will be able to answer my questions.
I was using my mac fine last night, left some browsers open for me to look at later, with the power plugged in.
In the morning, I opened up the macbook, but it was mysteriously shut off. The battery had not died, it had 50% power left when I turned it on. It took an abnormally longer time to startup. Not an awfully long time, but still longer than it should have.
When the desktop came on, my entire list of networks that have accumulated over the 2 years I've had this computer has gone missing. Not only that, I got a message that popped up saying that my date/time were wrong, set before Dec 31, 2008 and could mess things up.
Third, my computer was not charging no matter what outlet I put it in. I know they worked because I've used them multiple times in the past.
I fixed my date/time issue fast, I still cannot figure out how to get my list back, and I seem to have fixed the power/charger problem after repairing disk permissions, verifying disk (with nothing to repair) and running macjanitor.
I'm worried I won't get my network list back, some I don't remember passwords to. But more importantly, I'm confused as to what may have happened to my mac overnight. Does anyone have any idea what to do, or what happened? And what I may be able to do to help prevent this from happening again?
