Haiku Haikuhelper with Mac in sleep mode

[sjht]

Does this app still work when the Mac goes into sleep mode?

 

[lupinglade]

No it does not, at least not until you wake the Mac again.

Thanks. Not sure my wife is going to leave her iMac on for that. .

So now you have the need to get a Mac Mini and use it as a home server. Even running the thing can't use more than 5 watts.

Sounds like I may need to look into that..... Any particular version or probably the cheapest will work?

 

[lupinglade]

Anything that will run the latest OS is ideal.

What settings should I us to minize power when on? Thanks. SJ

Really the only 2 things you can do is put the hard drive to sleep, and put the display to sleep.  In the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences, you can set both of those.

I'd like to buy an inexpensive used Mac Mini. What is the minimum O/S (or other specs) I should look for in a less than ideal configuration?

 

[lupinglade]

The minimum is that OS X 10.7 must be supported.
