To all Mac Mini owners:
Hi, I am a happy owner of a new mac mini (2.3 Ghz Intel Core i5, Mac OS X 10.7.3) which I received the day before yesterday. I have installed all the applications from a Time Machine back up, and put all my data in it already (since yesterday I am using it to work -fastest uploading and application installation ever with time machine!).
I am totally thrilled with how fast it works, and how awesome it looks, but there is one thing I am not happy about, which is its difficulty waking up from either a light (few minutes) or sound (all night) sleep, I posted a thread about this here: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os...always-without-ever-sleeping.html#post1387061
Yesterday I turned off the sleep options deselecting in System Preferences ->Energy Saver "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible", and setting to never the "Computer Sleep" and "Display Sleep", and this works well as a screen saver comes when I am not using it, and to start using it I just move the wireless mouse and can get right on to working.
I am just wondering how many of you mac mini users have it set up like this (to never sleep)? Do you turn it off each night since it doesn't sleep during the day?
Anybody with a mac mini that does wake up easily from any sleep? How do you wake it up?
Is there any configuration that can be done to wake it up from hard disk sleep in less time than it takes to turn it on?
If you can participate in the poll I would greatly appreciated. I am trying to figure out if the fact that its hard to wake my mac mini is a reason to return it and ask for an exchange, or if all of them are like this.
Also please, if your mac mini DOES wake up easily, can you take a minute to write which operating system you have installed, and how do you wake it up? Thank you very much!!
