Hello dear people,
I have to be honest and say that I'm a pretty new Mac user, just over a year now, so my knowledge is very limited as with computers in general I'm afraid. Anyways, so I didn't really know if my question concerns soft or hardware or even if this is a big deal...
The question is that whenever I leave my computer on during the night, or sometimes just when I'm streaming TV or movies and the computer is "inactive" or whatever it makes it freeze or something. I loose control over my usb-powered speakers, keyboard and mouse. So when the computer has been on during the night and the screen goes black I have to manually restart the computer because it doesn't matter how much I click on the keyboard or mouse it just wont "wake up". Since all these devices are connection to the USB ports that's where my suspicions lie, but I'm probably wrong.
I would deeply appreciate any responses and/or possible solutions because I've been loosing a lot of data from rebooting the bad way.
Oh, and it might be important (I don't know) to know that I have a 1 year old Mac Mini, a VERY old MAC keyboard (1998) and speakers + mouse which are not of Apple origin.
Thank you
