That is how I have iTunes set up, Daniel. I am sure that Computer Sleep is the key in my case. I have several external drives and the spin down disks setting is for their benefit and my out disk with iTunes introduces a slight pause if the iMac has been idle for a long time before I go to Apple TV. Sadly, the iMac does not have a lid to close like the MacBooks. Severin ____________________________________________________
