OS X :: Changing Graphic Power Settings Within Energy Saver

Jun 18, 2009

I am new to Mac - having wished I had converted years ago - my new MacBook Pro is great. Mac makes Windows seem like living in the stone age, but I am rambling. I have found that it's possible to manually change graphic power settings within energy saver, but is there just that one setting? I would have hoped for an automatic change of settings depending if you are working on mains or battery. Unrelated, does a Mac have a delete key?

IMac :: Can I Reset Power Saver Settings In A System

Jul 28, 2009

I have this iMac for slightly over two years and when I forst got it I thought it would be a good idea to have it start up a 6:55am each weeday. After about a week I changed my mind and went back into Power Saver and turned off the settings. Since then, I can't tget the machine to quit auto-starting at 6:55, 7:55 and even sometime 8:55. I have called Apple, taken it in to an Apple store, they even claim to have replaced the computer

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Automatic Switch Off Mac Mini Server When Another User Is Still Connected?

Mar 9, 2012

I have a dozen of macs connected to a mac mini server. This one is programmed to automatically switch on at 8:00 am and switch off at 8:00 pm. However, if a user is still connected at time of switchng off (8:00 pm) it cannot switch off automatically and a window appears saying another user is still connected, do you still wish to disconnect. If administrator is no more there to click yes, server does not switch off and still runs all night long. On former versions (10.4 or 10.5 ?) it worked the other way, ie other users were informed that server would be disconnected in the next one minute and that they had to save their work. 

Is there a solution to come back to a similar way of proceeding?

Final Cut Pro X :: Automatic Backup Settings?

Dec 10, 2014

I work with FCP X for 8 hours every day.  One thing that keeps interrupting my workflow, oftentimes crashing FCP, are the automatic library backups.  Is there a place I can adjust settings, mainly the frequency of backups?  It seems to backup way too often on my machine.  About every 15 minutes or so.  And it completely haults any job I'm currently running.My work also requires I have many libraries open at once, which leads to the frequent backups of the many libraries.

IMac :: SSD And Energy Saver Settings?

Dec 18, 2010

If I replace my mid-2007 iMac's internal HDD with an SSD, will Snow Leopard still present me with the "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" checkbox on the Energy Saver power settings screen? If so, do I tick it or not? I will still have an HDD for Time Machine connected via FW800.

Mac Pro :: Display Will Not Sleep In Energy Saver Settings?

Apr 9, 2010

I have a new issue with my Mac Pro (3,1 - 2008), it just popped up (and I don't think it was caused by 10.6.3, I remember this working correctly after it was installed)I have two monitors connected via DVI to a flashed XFX 4870. The 4870 has never given me any trouble.the Energy Saver settings, I usually set the machine to never sleep, and the displays to sleep after 5 minutes. This used to work great, never had any trouble with it, ever. Now, the displays don't go to sleep after 5 minutes, they just stay on with a screensaver.

MacBook :: Energy Saver Icon - Change The Settings

Feb 7, 2009

I just noticed a small but very annoying change. I have the energy saver pane appear in the menu bar on my iBook. It used to be when I clicked the battery icon I could select Better Battery Life, Better Performance, or Normal from the drop down menu. I don't when this change happened, but I am now no longer able to select those from the icon, I have to open System Preference to change it. [URL]

Mac Pro :: Dual Monitors - Separate Screen Saver Settings

May 8, 2012

I've got dual monitors up and running for the first time. With my workflow, I'll be working at one monitor for several hours and then the other for several hours. I'd like to have independent screen savers for each monitor so the one not being used won't get burn in, etc., but I don't see any way to do that.  

Perhaps I'm answering my own question here, but I would suppose that if I'm in extended mode (which I'll be doing) it's really just one big screen, so there isn't a way to tell the other screen to start running a screen saver....and if I'm mirroring, they're both doing exactly the same thing. Those pieces of logic tell me that I can't do what I want to do.

OS X Mavericks :: Energy Saver Settings Revert Back

Sep 9, 2014

I change my Energy Saver settings (Mavericks), but the changes do not remain.  Once the display goes to sleep, the settings change back to other values (which aren't the same as the default settings).  This happens even though I have the settings locked.  Could some other utility be changing the settings? My Macbook Pro was imaged through my work - might they have set something up that can revert settings? 

I've already tried trashing the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file and restarting - that didn't solve the problem.

OS X :: Energy Saver Settings - Delete .plist File For To Start Over?

Dec 27, 2008

Well 10.5.6 has been so much fun and full of surprises - like a box of chocolates Gump would say. For some reason, the sleep function settings won't reset. I had my iMac set to sleep the HD after about an hour. I changed the setting to never, but it still wants to sleep. Never had any trouble like this before the update. My install is almost virgin as I had to reinstall because of the update. I don't have any add-ons running or anything like that. Can I delete the .plist file for these settings to start over?

OS X Yosemite :: Unable To Change Energy Saver Settings On Mac Mini

Dec 1, 2014

I am unable to change "Energy Saver" settings in System Settings using Yosemite 10.10.1.  In particular, I want to uncheck the "Put Hard Disks to Sleep" option. 

I can click on the option and then click close.  But when I go back into "Energy Saver" the checkbox is ticked again. 

I have tried both an SMC and PRAM reset and the problem persists.

I shut my macbook pro down the other day and when I turned it on the next day, I couldn't get on Safari. It would constantly say that it couldn't find an internet connection. I tried to check to see if I could do an update, and same problem. Here is the kicker. Mail, iChat, and Firefox all work fine. The only applications affected that I can find so far are iTunes, Safari, and Automatic Update.

Are there any programs for OS X that let you set an automatic power profile when unplugged from the charger?

Is there nothing that automatically sets the screen to a certain brightness, turns bluetooth and wi-fi off etc., and then adjusts it back when plugged in to the charger?

IMac :: No Automatic Sleep Mode - Cannot Find Errors In Console

Aug 22, 2009

My 2009 iMac will not go to sleep by itself. It will go to sleep when it's induced but not automatically. I have been through several Apple support documents on this issue and searched here and on Google but nothing they suggest like resetting PRAM etc., works. I have been through console to see if I can find any errors and the only thing there is a couple of entries related to my Targus Bluetooth mouse. I have tried disabling and uninstalling this, updating the driver etc., and it doesn't make any difference.

OS X Mavericks :: How To Automatically Switch Between Two Different WiFi Settings

Jun 3, 2014

I have to work with two different Wi-Fi (at home and office) one of which uses DHCP and other requires me to manually enter IP address. Right now I have to keep on changing Wi-Fi settings (putting IP addresses when at office and setting to DHCP at home) whenever I go from home to office and then do the reverse when I go from office to home. Can I automate that so I don't have to repeatedly fiddle with settings?

PowerPC :: Graphic Card Upgrade For 2004 DP 1.8Ghz Power Mac G5

Aug 15, 2010

I have a June 2004 revision Power Mac G5 (DP 1.8Ghz) with an AGP slow that is dying for a more powerful graphics card.

I have had the machine since new and have it paired with a 23" Cinema Display, Magic Mouse, BT Apple keyboard, 4GB of Kingston RAM, a pair of 500gb internal HDs, several TBs of external storage, Logitech Z2300 speakers, etc. We also have a new 15" Mac Book Pro, a 13" Mac Book, an Apple TV, Airport Extreme, etc. The desktop doesn't get a TON of use but it is still snappy enough for a lot of what I use it for.

However, since I installed Leopard on it, the OS is nowhere near as fast as it was before (with respect to UI graphics, etc).... I should have expected the newer OS would take more of a toil on the system (especially the graphics card) then did Tiger.... the system has only the factory-installed 64mb GeForce card.... I'm assuming that Leopard, probably more than Tiger, can draw from the GPU for graphic-needs/UI work and I'm assuming that a new graphics card would make a difference....

I just need help deciphering the cards that are available.... 9800XT?? X800??? Any advice on compatible 8x AGP cards would be AMAZING.

Hardware :: Switch Time Capsule - Settings - Use Wifi Connection Using Smartphone?

Dec 9, 2009

I have a Time Capsule wirelessly connected to my iMac. Since I've encountered some problems with backups because of intermittent wifi connection failures, I want to switch to a wired connection with an ethernet cable. I know I could fiddle with the wifi channels etc. but since the TC is just sitting next to my iMac anyway, I could profit from the higher bandwidth of a wired connection as well.

Two questions:
1. What exactly do I have to do to make the switch? Are there any new settings I have to apply? Create a new network?
2. Will I still be able to use the wifi connection to get on the internet using my smartphone?

MacBook :: Screen Color Settings Change After Screen Saver?

May 8, 2009

so this has happened twice now in the past month, my mb is in screen saver mode and i wake it up to find that the color is off in the screen. meaning that the color settings changed and the screen has a swashed out blue tint to it. first time i restarted and all was good, second time i clicked on the preferences icon and then the screen went back to its normal setting. my normal setting is not the factory one but one of the ones that people said makes the screen look better.

so what gives, is the integrated chip dieing on me?

OS X Yosemite :: All Power Settings Are Set For No Power Usage

Dec 1, 2014

a MacBook Pro, Retina, mid 2012 running Yosemite 10.10.1...I've noticed that since upgrading to Yosemite, if I close the lid on my computer to put it to sleep and then leave it overnight, it is completely drained by morning.  It used to burn through, MAYBE 5% overnight.  All the power settings are set for no power usage, i.e., no power nap, no wake for network, etc. If I look in the system log, I see something that happens every hour while it's asleep. I've included an excerpt below.
