Hi, have bought my first mac, a Mac mini late 2012 i7. And I'm loving it!
I've installed an SSD to boot, and left the 1tb as storage for iTunes and iphoto and it all works great.
The only issue I'm having with at present is USB charging when it sleeps ie. it doesn't! My wife and I both have iPhone 5s and our normal MO is to plug the phones in at various times of the day to charge and/or sync.
However if this is done when the mini is sleeping, it doesn't charge. If an iPhone is plugged in and then the mini sleeps, I hear the disconnect beep and it stops charging. This could be a problem as some nights my wife comes home from a late shift, and will just plug the phone in to charge, and it won't do this if it's already in sleep.
I have to confess I'm baffled, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong? I'm having to leave it on (albeit idle) and if no-ones using it its on the login screen. Is that stopping it charging when in sleep?
I've tried googling for an answer but haven't had much luck, I'd gratefully appreciate any pointers at this stage!
Thanks in advance
