Lots of weird stuff happening today So I'll just list the symptoms I've experienced in the last few hours, so far I can't seem to find a pattern, suffice to say the macbook is virtually unusable for my purposes. It's a 2010 Macbook white:


Can't open Chrome
Refuses to remember wifi password each time I reconnect
Mail.app thinks it's offline
Time keeps resetting to 12:00am
Turns off randomly


I'm leaning towards blaming the battery, given the power loss and time resetting, however shouldn't there be a watch battery keeping time? Also I don't think I could explain the other issues blaming the battery. I suppose it's possible multiple things broke all at once. Thought I'd ask however and see if this isn't a known issue.

Thanks for any advice.
Turns out it was the battery. Got it tested for free at the Genius Bar, and they did the replacement for the cost of the battery.
