    Hi, my issue is not a real problem but i would like to know if there is a way to boot my Mac from a shortcut keyboard or something like that
    cause my Mac is kinda far away from my workstation and it would be nice if there is a trick or a plug-in / software, for that…
    you know like the old keyboards where there was a start up button…

    thank you

    Nope for the computer to accept any keyboard short cut it must be powdered on. Any special button like on the old old machines would require that button to be built into the keyboard.

    I do believe though that in system preferences you can tell your computer to power on at a designated time. That way when you get to the office in the morning your machine is already running and ready to go.

    There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
    Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!
