What is the best way to turnoff a headless macmini?
Mine is being use as a music server only with Pure Music.
thanks!

Mine has a keyboard attached as well as a wireless mouse. Putting it to sleep with the keyboard is doable, but the only way I know to turn it off is to hold the power button until it goes off.

When I first got the mac I tried the VNC route but never got it to work as I'm not the most computer savvy guy. Maybe I'll get my 14-year-old grandson to set it up. ;)

Works like a charm. I think I'll still use the apple remote app to control itunes but it is nice to be able to turn the machine off the correct way. Thanks again Mingles.
