Re: A few questions about disabling sleep mode

Hi Shawn, You can set this in Energy Saver preferences in the System Preferences. I believe there's a setting there where you can put the Mac to sleep when the lid is closed and then set the time for the computer to go to sleep. You can set this to something longer than the standard five

Re: A few questions about disabling sleep mode

No, You can't disable this. The Mac goes to sleep when the lid is closed regardless of whatever settings you might have on or off. hth Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com Twitter, Skype, and AIM: rwalker296 www.mobileaccess.org On Apr 19, 2011, at 8:35 AM, Kevin Shaw wrote: Hi Shawn,

Hi Shawn, Q1: Will it hurt the MacBook? Not necessarily. You will kill your battery much quicker and I'm not sure that it is really a good idea. You could set it to go to Sleep slower if you wish. That is, instead of going to Sleep within ten minutes , you could set it to go to Sleep

I think this new setting in the rotor became necessary because they took out the 4 finger swipe left and right which, as I understand it, had been the gesture one used to move from one container to another in the IPad. I didn't have an IPad then, so have no first hand experience with that
