Re: to shut down or put in sleep mode. also, what is Mavrick?

[Paul Hopewell]

Hi Brian, 
I nearly always put my iMac to sleep rather than shut it down. I do this 
because it is then much quicker to startup the next day. I just have to enter 
my password to startup. the disadvantage of sleep mode is that the computer 
does consume a small amount of power while asleep. 

Maverick is the next release of Mac OS due in the Fall (November?). If Apple 
follows its usual practice you should be able to upgrade from Mountain Lion to 
Maverick via the App store for a modest cost - I recall that it was about 29 
dollars to upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion.

I shut down my mac but that's my own choice and this is coming from 
using i.t. for years. Maverix is the next major update to Os X.

Hi all,



As mac users, are you suppose to shut down the computer or just let stay in
sleep mode. Or is it just a matter of preference.



Also, what is Mavrick I've been reading about on here. Is that the future
update to mountain lion?



Thanks

Re: to shut down or put in sleep mode. also, what is Mavrick?

[Bryan Jones]

Hi Linda -- In my opinion, shutting down versus sleeping is largely a personal 
preference. I normally shut down or restart all of my computers, tablets and 
smartphones at least once a day, but I'm a an old IT guy who was burned once 
too often by operating systems that would not reliably wake up after being put 
to sleep. Fortunately, sleep mode inMountain Lion seems pretty reliable, and I 
will often sleep / wake my Macbook Air several times a day by closing / opening 
the lid.

Maverick, properly named Mavericks, is the name of the next release of Mac OS. 
A quick web search for Mavericks Apple should take you to Apple's page 
dedicated to Mavericks.

HTH,
Bryan
