    I want to prevent the Touch Bar from sleeping when left inactive

    I just bought a new MacBook with Touch Bar and when ever I'm watching something, or the Touch Bar is left inactive, it dims and sleeps which is really annoying to me. Is there any terminal command or apple script through which I can disable this feature. I searched all the settings and it isn't...

    2018 Mac Mini USB Sleep settings - drives remain powered on

    Hey guys, when I eject USB drives on my MM2018 the drives spindown after eject as expected, but then they just spin up again (staying unmounted from the OS tho). Never happened on my other Macs, is it happening on yours too? Thx!

    I have some applications that will basically be a PITA if I turn this computer fully off. I'm currently allowing the system to sleep at the moment. At some point I will need to restart. How can I save and resume everything? I would like to see the programs I am using right now to be in the...

    MacBook Pro 2018 fails to sleep when closing lid sometimes

    I believe this usually happens after connecting an EGPU, but I have noticed instances of when I haven't used an EGPU all day and it still fails to sleep after closing the lid. This is a huge problem because sometimes I would close the lid and immediately stick it in my bag. When I grab my...

    SSD way forward?

    Hi, Sorry if I'm barking up the wrong tree as I'm not up to speed on tech. I have an early 2009 iMac with 8mb memory running El Capitan (the latest OS it will take). Recently start-up has been a problem: it takes ages, especially after a crash when each app gets a spinning cog. I've slimmed...

    No connectivity after wake

    Since upgrading my router (it's my ISP's standard, nothing fancy), every time I open my MBP's lid, I can see it connected to my Wi-Fi, but there's no internet access. The workaround is pretty simple, turn Wi-Fi off and then right back on. But it's getting old fast. I've been trying to find out...

    Disconnecting eGPU / Thunderbolt Device

    I'm wondering if there is a programatic way (AppleScript or terminal command, etc) to disconnect my eGPU box. Whenever my Mac goes to sleep then when I wake it I get the "you didn't disconnect your GPU before unplugging it" error (that is not the exact message) and I would like to fire...

    My classic Mac Pro eight core (5,1 flashed) running 10.13.6 and with Apple wireless keyboard and trackpad had been running fine until a few days ago, when it started failing to wake up from sleep. Just prior to my noticing this, it displayed another, possibly related, anomalous behavior upon...

    Shuts down when closed and idle

    This doesn't happen frequently but it does happen often enough to ask about. If I leave my Macbook Pro on, closed, idle (and asleep) for a few hours or more sometimes I open it up to find that it has shut down. This happens even if the battery is at or close to 100%.

    Changing sleep shortcut?

    I'm on mm2012 and old -keyboard with eject button. Mini will sleep with com+opt+eject, but if I try to redefine that in sysPrefs->KB->shortcuts->Services->Text(wtf?)->"Put Computer To Sleep" to eg.F13, I just hear the alert sound. Can sleep butten be redefined at all?

    After upgrading to High Sierra 10.13.4, sleeping has gone weird.

    I just updated my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) to High Sierra 10.13.4 and noticed that whenever I put my iMac to sleep mode, it's screen black-out instantly rather than fading out like it used to. Is there anyone who has the same issue or is it just me?
