I recently started with Mountain Lion and can't find a way to set the amount of time before the computer goes to sleep.
- On your Mac, choose Apple menu System Preferences, then click Energy Saver. Open Energy Saver preferences for me. Do any of the following: Set the amount of time your computer or display should wait before going to sleep: Drag the “Computer sleep” and “Display sleep” sliders, or the “Turn display off after” slider. Keep your Mac from going to sleep automatically: Select.
- In the lower right corner of the window. There you can set a time and day (weekends or weekdays, too) that the Mac will start up or wake, as well as a time and day(s) when it will restart, shut down or sleep. As useful as the schedule feature is, it’s limited in how it can work. Still, you could use it to shut down your computer at a specific.
- Putting your MacBook to sleep it critical when you are not using it, even for a few minutes. There are many ways to quickly and easily put it to sleep, from keyboard shortcuts to gestures to physical actions. Find one that works for you to get the most from your MacBook's battery.
I looked in System Preferences -> Energy Saver and it has a slider to set the time before turning off the display and a box to keep the computer from sleeping but nothing to set the time before it sleeps?
I'd like to know when my computer will go to sleep and sometimes I may have it doing something like copying a large amount of data from one drive to another or running a batch process and a large number of photographs where I need the computer up and running for a few hours.
Is it possible to adjust the time before the Mac sleeps in Mountain Lion? I used to do it in Leopard and Snow Leopard.
iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
