How do I get my ATV to wake my Mini server?

[The Mad Hatter]

Ever since I updated my Mini media server to Yosemite, it doesn't wake from sleep via my ATV. As it stands, I have to keep sending a WOL signal from an app on my iPhone.

Does anyone have any ideas short of going back to Mavericks?

TIA

On the mini, goto system settings and energy saver... adjust it so that it doesn't sleep, namely uncheck the option to turn off the disk.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I'd rather not have the Mini awake 24/7. It's supposed to be able to sleep when not in use, and wake when another device requires it.

Also, the Mini's energy settings don't have the same settings as the laptop settings you have pictured.

Thank you for the effort though.

Do you have wake on lan turned on, on the mini already? If so is it just not working?

I know a couple years ago I had the problem of the ATV not waking up my mini even with WoL turned on. I was able to fix it by disabling the darkwake mode they had at the time. For some reason using darkwake the ATV couldn't access wither itunes, or itunes couldn't access my NAS.

I don't know if this still applies to the current version of OSX though.
