Mac Mini 2011 won't stay asleep

[Rhyalus]

Hello All,

Can someone help me set the system so that my Mac mini will not wake up unless the power button is pressed?

I have a mini set up on an entertainment console, and sometimes the kids hit the keyboard... other times it just seems to wake up on it's own.

I have gone to system settings and I don't see anything to control "how" the system can be awakened from sleep.

Thanks,
R

Within System Preferences there should be options under Energy Saver.

"Should be" in terms of what Apple should have been there?

I don't see this option...

I'm not in front of my Mac right now so can't check, but from memory that's where it should be.

I do appreciate the reply...I will keep looking and googling, and if you have a chance when you are in front of your Mac, I would love some confirmation that I am not crazy!

Thanks,
R

I have taken a look in System Preferences and I see what you mean. the setting I am after is no longer listed .
