Headless MacMini

Good info. Will give it a try. Do I need to download an app to my iphone to control the mac mini with the phone?

I use a headless Mac Mini also and hope to see some good info here. 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.

I do control my mac mini with either an ipod touch or iphone and will try the screen sharing recommendation.
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. ;)

Thanks for the link Mingles.

Got the pocketcloud app on my iphone and ipod touch. 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.
