Comments on: Amazing Mac Uptime: 454 Days http://osxdaily.com/2010/10/21/amazing-mac-uptime-454-days/ News, tips, software, reviews, and more for Mac OS X, iPhone, iPad Wed, 19 Jun 2013 19:52:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: tar heel in texas http://osxdaily.com/2010/10/21/amazing-mac-uptime-454-days/#comment-408885 tar heel in texas Sun, 22 Jul 2012 04:51:46 +0000 http://osxdaily.com/?p=8802#comment-408885 In the summer of 2007, in order to keep a software demo from expiring, I had a mac mini running for about 7 months, including a week where I was gone on a trip, and had to put it into a locked, safari-only kiosk mode for the housesitter to use. I finally had to shut it down when it came time to change apartments. Seven months isn't that big a deal, but just this morning I woke up a laptop that had been asleep in my storage room for the last 8 months. It came right back up without any hesitation or hiccups.

The absolute uptime record (as far as Hitup's competitors go, at least): Anders Thorssell from Sweden with over 8 Years (3180 days, 11:36). not too shabby. :) i guess nobody here’s heard of hitup.org, The Worldwide OSX Computer uptime challenge?

I have no proof but I had my 14 ibook running none stop for over 2 years close to 3. I didn’t know anybody kept track of such things.

No crashed, no need to reboot- and I use it all the time for hours on end! My MacBook’s battery gave out 41 days ago and I have had it plugged in since then and guess what?

I manage lots of unix servers and have my own macs but patches take a front seat for me and often a reboots required so I stopped careing. especially since I've seen a win 2000 server with only "sp1" on it be up for over for over 4 years at one company I worked at. i turned white haired that day when i found it.
