Putting Your Mac mini to Sleep or Shutting It Down

When you have finished working with your Mac mini, you can put it to sleep or shut

it down.

Put Your Mac mini to Sleep

If you will be away from your Mac mini for less than a few days, put it to sleep. When

your Mac mini is in sleep, its screen is dark. You can quickly wake your Mac mini and

bypass the startup process.

To put your Mac mini to sleep quickly, do one of the following:
Â

Choose Apple (

) > Sleep.

Â

Press the power (®

) button on the back of the Mac mini.

Â

Choose Apple (

) > System Preferences, click Energy Saver, and set a sleep timer.

Â

Press and hold the Play/Pause (’

) button on the Apple Remote for 3 seconds.

To wake your Mac mini, press any key on the keyboard or any button on the Apple

Remote. When your Mac mini wakes from sleep, your applications, documents, and

computer settings are exactly as you left them.

Shut Down Your Mac mini

If you won’t be using your Mac mini for more than a few days, shut it down. Choose

Apple () > Shut Down.

Warning:

Shut down your Mac mini before moving it. Moving your Mac mini while

the hard disk is spinning can damage the hard disk, causing loss of data or an inability

to start up from the hard disk.
