If it is shutdown it is not sleeping and therefore cannot be woken. If it is any help you can set the Mac to shutdown and startup according to a schedule, this is configured in Energy Saver settings in System Preferences. You could then have it start up at a specific time, allow it to go to sleep, wake it over the LAN, but it would then later shutdown.

I have used wake on LAN many times with PCs when they are completely shutdown and not suspended or in standby mode. The WoL standard should work this way as far as I know. I assume Apple may implement partial wake on LAN or not the full standard then. I know I can startup the system according to a schedule but I don't want to waste power and potentially shorten the life of the drives and hardware.

I think somewhere else it mentioned that you can turn it on by toggling a power strip for the system if enabling a certain reboot option. When the Mac mini is asleep the hard drives are completely powered down, even in full normal use a Mac mini uses compared to most other PCs very little power and when asleep it uses hardly any at all. You can see Apple's webpage on the subject of power consumption for the Mac mini here http: I tested this further and sometimes it will power on when in sleep mode while other times it will not.

Really weird and inconvenient. I'll need to figure something out or just get a PC for a home theater system and use this somewhere else.

Dec 5, Curious, how are you using WiFi to wake it up? Dec 5, 5: I'm simply sending a wake on LAN packet that's received over wifi if it's suspended. I understand that the same thing happens on wired but haven't tested it.
