When I got up this AM and tried to wake up the Mini (2014) it would not wake up. The only way I could get it to wake up was to unplug the power and plug it back in. It started up OK and everything seems to be working except the Dock will not magnify even though magnification is on in the System Prefs.

Hi lllaass,
I really could't tell if the mini was"working" because I could not see it on the monitor. It would not shut off with the power switch (an indication it was
"working" ?) Mini seems to be working OK except as I posted about the Dock. I checked out the links you sent. The energy saver is on "Never" see. I do have an ethernet switch hooked up/off over night, could that be an issue? I know it's not a big deal to have the Dock magnification not working , and when I set the Dock in System Prefs to hide and show the Dock automatically it will not come back up unless I open System Again and uncheck the "Auto..." box.. What changed it? I have restarted in Recovery and repaired there HD and the Volume as well as repairing the permissions, restarted zapping there PRAM trying the get the Dock to respond to the settings but to no avail, yet. I am running 10.10.2 but forgot to change it in my first post.
When sleeping the Power light is blinking slowly. If you move the mouse/KB and the Power light goes steady then the computer awakened. The problme is the computer wakes but nothing shows on the monitor's screen
Reset the SMC if not done already
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Try booting in Safe mode. That clears catches.
HI illaass..
The power light on the mini was steady . not blinking, when I got up this AM. I did reset the SMC. I have not tried Safe Boot yet but I will if you think I should and let you know if the sleep thing happens again. Thanks

This does not answer why but since you have a Mini why not just auto shutdown at night and auto power up in the morning before you wake up and it will be ready to go?
Thinks tbirdvet that is what I will probably end up do.ing.
mac mini not waking up after sleep
