How do you turn on/off your Mac mini?

Hi, newbie here, please be patient . Is it possible to turn on a Mac mini (late 2012) with a remote? With ip control? Do you ever turn your mini off?
I tried putting some settings in energy savings, to turn off the mini, but if the mini is a sleep when it's supposed to turn off, according to the schedule, it doesn't work.....I don't have a keyboard for it, only a mouse and the iOS app Rowmote..... Do I really need an apple remote to turn it on/off?

An Apple Remote can do a lot of things with the right software. Take a look at this:

There are various ways to control a Mac, shut down and restart (cold start is harder but possible with extra hardware), via IP. Here's a good place to start:

I never turn my Mac off unless I'm going to be away from it for more than a full day. When I walk away for more than a few minutes, I put it to sleep. Watch this for information about shutting down/sleeping:

Buy a cheap keyboard for your Mini. I can't imagine you can get full use out of it without a keyboard. There are decent Bluetooth keyboards available for under $20. But if you have a mouse, you can turn it on or off or to sleep with the mouse using the appropriate menu option under the Apple Menu in the upper-left corner of your screen.

  • How do you turn Stocks off in iOS 8.2?

    For some reason Stocks doesn't appear in the Notification Centre settings for me anymore in iOS 8.2, since I updated.
    How do you turn it off now? It's kinda annoying seeing it in my notification centre all the time...

    Pull down the window then scroll to the very bottom. You will see an "Edit" button. Click on that to customize the view.

  • Apple TV, how do you turn it off?

    When done with Apple TV, how do you turn it off?

    Closest to Off is "Standby" which I beleive you'll find at the end of the Settings Menu OR the Settings > General Menu.
    You can also set it to auto Sleep at a small interval ( I think 15 mins is the shortest ) which does the same thing automatically.
    By the by, It's worth familiarizing yourself with the Settings menu since there are many options there of interest.

  • How do you get idvd on your mac?

    How can you get Idvd on your mac? ive made a movie using imovie but i do not have idvd on my computer.

    Apple no longer distributes iDVD.
    1a) Buy an old iLife from a place such as e-bay or Amazon (https://discussions.apple.com/message/18750180 or http://www.megamacs.com/index.php?action=frameview&id=404733009&D=1).  Make sure it is a version that has iDVD.  Do not buy it from Apple since their version no longer has iDVD.
    1b) Depending upon which computers and discs you have you may be able to do a custom installation of the software using old system installer discs that had iLife bundled.
    2) Try a third party application (none have the features of iDVD though).
    Burn (free) - http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html - includes basic DVD authoring but you will definitely have to read the documentation.
    Easily Burn Movies to a DVD without Apple's iDVD. - http://www.creativetechs.com/iq/easily_burn_movies_to_a_dvd_without_apples_idvd. html - directions for using Burn to make a TV DVD.  Note, Burn also has a separate application which lets you do more fancy menus.

    I tried to use the Battery updater software on my Powerbook G4 and it didn't work, now it starts up on my computer startup everytime, how do you get it to work or turn it off?

    It's possible that your model PowerBook doesn't need the updater.
    Did Software Update offer you the Updater, or did you download it from Apple? This article"

    has a list of the specific Mac models requiring the update and how to tell if you have one of those models--if yours is not among them, the updater shouldn't run.

    On the page where you have your songs, on the right hand side of the song, swipe your finger to the right and the delete button will appear.  It only takes a quick swipe.  If you hold your finger in on the song first, it will start playing.

    I would like to find out how you can make revenue off your podcast?

    Plug your ipod into your pc, load up itunes, make sure update to "manual" is set in preferences in itunes. Select your music on your iPod (via iTunes) and just delete it...(press del). I save my iTunes library using PodUtil (http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/software/podutil.php) although there are many other 3rd party apps that do this.

  • How do you sync calendars from your mac to your iphone

    I am having a problem getting my calendar on my macbook pro to sync with the calendar on my iphone 6. I have icloud turned on for calendars on my phone but when I sync the items I have entered on my macbook pro are not uploaded to my iphone 6. I do most all my inputting on my macbook as it is easier to see the dates and my schedules than on the iphone. I have tried sync'ing both over wi fi and cellular but nothing is happening. At some point the calendars did sync as I do have stuff on my iphone which is on my macbook but I am not able to sync anything now.
    thanks for your help
    Sheri

    Howdy sheribe,
    As I understand it, you have iCloud setup to sync Calendar data on your iPhone and your MacBook Pro but it doesn't seem to get across to the phone on either device either using Wi-Fi or cellular data. I would check www.icloud.com to see if the calendar data is there that you entered on your Mac. If it is, use the iOS troubleshooting section of the following article. If it is not, then use the Mac section instead:
    Get help using iCloud Calendar
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
