[QUOTE="chevyboy60013, post: 1942625, member: 408943"] I typically do not shut down any of my mac's, basically just letting my iMac and Mac mini go to sleep, and when I am not using my MacBook Pro I just close the lid and let it go to sleep, even when I am done with it for the day and it is plugged in charging. The exception to the rule is if severe weather is forecasted, likely I know better about that than the local tv weather people being involved in severe weather forecasting and storm chasing for my county emergency management agency is I completely shut down my iMac and Mac mini then, and if severe weather is forecast or occurring over night when I am not out chasing, as I use my MacBook Pro for radar and weather data.... if it is not charged it is shut down to conserve remaining battery power or if it is charged it is shut down and left unplugged from the power supply to prevent power surge damages. The only other times they are shut down is when they are needing to be rebooted for an update or to clean their displays. [/QUOTE]
