OS X :: Different Energy Saver Preference Pane Than Everyone?
Aug 8, 2009In all the screenshots I see of Energy Save.prefpane, I notice that people have a "Better Battery Life" setting or something similar. However, my Energy Saver looks like this (screenshot below). Why is this? Anyway to change it if it is actually different and incorrect?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Preference Panes Not Opening
Jun 27, 2012My preferences panes on my osx lion 10.7.4 macbook pro won't open directly. I can still go to spotlight and type "system preferences" and open them from there, but the following don't work:
* clicking the apple and click "system preference"
* clicking the network icon and clicking open network preferences
* goign to spotlight and typing anything but system preferences: (network preferences, displays, Keyboard, etc) They all have a blank page icon instead of a preferences icon When I do click them, an icon briefly shows up in the dock then disappears. It looks like an application that has been downloaded but not authorized. With the pencil and protractor

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Energy Saver Stuck On Never
May 12, 2012Recently, I have noticed that my Macbook Pro running lion will not ever go to sleep, regardless of what values I choose on the sliders for "Computer sleep" and "Display sleep." The value to the right of the bar says "Never" no matter what. I'm wondering on how to make these values actually represent the values I choose on the slider, rather than always "Never."Â

IMac :: SSD And Energy Saver Settings?
Dec 18, 2010If 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.

Mar 21, 2009I'd like to set my mpb (early 2009) to "higher performance" for the power adaptor and "better battery life" while on the battery. Can someone confirm if this is possible? I can't seem to do this because when I change it on one power source it automatically changes it on the other power source. Is there something obvious I am missing - I have searched the forums in vain. (I have checked that I don't need any software updates).

Mar 10, 2010I am sure someone has made a macro (using either applescript or automator) to turn energy saver on or off (ie, to switch between graphics cards). If I understood automator or applescript, i would do it myself, but sadly i don't. Is there anyone out there that might be able to but such a macro together for me, or share theirs?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Sound Problems/ Energy Saver Issues
Aug 11, 2009i just bought an external speaker set- Phillips Smart Sound Solution.. Followed the directions for set up properly, except for the part about plugging a green plug into the green audio slot. I know that there is a green plug in on PC's, but on my macbook pro, the only slot I think would make sense to plug into would be the one in front of my headphone slot. After plugging this in, I go to my preferences or whatever, and then go to audio, and the only thing listed is internal speakers...
The "energy" issue... I have my energy saving issues set to never put hard disks to sleep, to not put the computer to sleep etc.... And when listening to iTunes, or just letting the computer set, it logs me out... I have the settings to never shut off when plugged in, and when on battery....
Mac Pro :: Display Will Not Sleep In Energy Saver Settings?
Apr 9, 2010I 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Changing Graphic Power Settings Within Energy Saver
Jun 18, 2009I 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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOS X Mavericks :: Energy Saver Settings Revert Back
Sep 9, 2014I 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?Â
I've already tried trashing the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file and restarting - that didn't solve the problem.

MacBook Pro :: Energy Saver - Could Not Install (null) Preferences Pane
Jan 2, 2011Whenever I try and open up my energy saver preferences a pop up appears "Could not install (null) preferences pane". The energy saver preferences is not in my system preferences anymore I have to spotlight search to try and open it. I have the highest update on all of my settings for my macbook pro (one of the original 13" pros from when they changed the macbook unibody to the macbook pro). I've tried googling and nothing really substantial comes up or I just cannot understand it. I've tried repairing disk permissions etc.
