That sounds odd. I have an Early 2009 iMac with OSX 10.6, and in my experience the Mac never sleeps when it's "doing" something (i.e., some app is actually working). OTOH, it goes to sleep (in its own time) when all the apps are idle. > I went into system prefs and told the display not to sleep That should be irrelevant. When the display goes black, the Mac works as before; only the screen is off. I second Bruce suggestion to reset the power manager, and SMC: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295 IMHO, if everything works correctly, you should not need to set your Mac to never sleep: the app receiving and processing data (as long as it is continuous) should be enough to keep the Mac from going to sleep. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
