[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1638734"] It's okay to have the Mac not sleep if that's what you require. It does use a bit more power (since the hard drive and CPU don't get to rest) but this is not a huge amount. If you can identify specific things you need to have on both machines and just want to keep them in sync, you could look at something like Chronosync to do that. Alternatively, you could have someone set the iMac to wake on network access. That would let it sleep when you're not using it, but wake up when you try to connect with it from the MBA. [/QUOTE]
