Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve

   1. Shut down the computer.
   2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
   3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
   4. Release the power button.
   5. Attach the computers power cable.
   6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
