Display sleep time

My Display goes to sleep after one minute, no matter what I have the display sleep time set at.  Been this way from new.

Hello again glschell,
Thank you for responding to my post requesting additional information. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Using and Adjusting Your Monitor, where you will see under the heading Using Onscreen Display (OSD) the Monitor controls and under Management you will see Sleep Timer which may be the culprit in your issue. Additionally, I am providing you with the steps needed to set your computer's sleep timer:
Step 1. Click on Start
Step 2. Click on Control Panel
Step 3. Click System and Security
Step 4. Click on Power Options
Step 5. Change the conditions of the computer's sleep mode
Now if none of the above works I would recommend that if the issue is really bothersome to follow the steps in the HP Support document: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7) and back up the personal files on your computer. After you have successfully backed up your personal files you can follow the steps set out in the HP Support document: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7), which will reinstall your operating system and bring it back to how it was when it first came out of the factory. The original image you had on the computer may have been faulty and this will resolve that. 
Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.

  • When does "Display sleep" time start?

    I've set my "display sleep" to anywhere from a couple minutes to over an hour. The problem is that the screen dims while I'm using the computer. Specifically, I'm usually playing online poker.
    My question is:
    When my Display Sleep is set to, e.g. 15 minutes, when does that 15 minutes start?
    It's obviously not starting when I click the mouse because I'm doing that a lot.
    I type on the keyboard once in a while. Does that start the clock?
    Okay, that's my only guess. Thanks for any help.

    I have an interesting related problem...I am running an IMac with a Thunderbolt display second monitor.  When the iMac dims prior to going to sleep, the Thunderbolt display does not dim with it.  Only when the iMac monitor actually goes to sleep, does the Thunderbolt monitor go to sleep with it.  It makes no difference if I make the primary monitor the Thunderbolt Display or the iMac's Display, either way only the iMac dims.  I would like both of them to dim together since it helps to keep the Thunderbolt display's life longer and it saves energy.  I am at a loss as to how to make it work.  Is there a bug?  I am runniing the latest version of Lion, and I have the lastest version of the iMac, which I just purchased in  July.

  • HTC Rezound: Display sleep time won't stick

    Hi All~
    I keep setting my display to sleep after 10 minutes but it resets itself to 30 seconds. Anyone have an idea what could be wrong?
    Polly~

        Hi PAB, it sounds like your phone doesn't want to cooperate! Let's see if we can resolve that! Try first changing the display setting to 10 minutes and then reboot your phone. Check to see if still at 10 minutes. Try other minute increments. If no change, please boot your phone into safe mode and test again. http://bit.ly/UveVwG Safe mode disables third party applications to ensure none may be causing this issue. If still not working correctly in safe mode, I suggest completing a factory reset. http://bit.ly/Q166KZ This erases all data on the device that is not on the SD card. Make sure contacts backed up first.

  • Toggle Display Sleep time with one click of the mouse

    I currently use a slightly modified form of this hint: "http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060724134300315" I downloaded NightyNight from "http://mildmanneredindustries.com/products.html" and use it along with GeekTool and the shell script mentioned in the macosx hints post. The problem with this is the fact that I have to go to my desktop in order to see the changed time. I use Growl "http://growl.info/" and would like to use its notification system to highlight the changed time. Can anybody write a Growl script or app and post it here or email it to "[email protected]"?

  • Recommended sleep time for Cinema HD display

    I have a new 23" Cinema HD display and am curious if there is any information for how many start cycles the display is rated for?
    It seems like cycling the bulb more than three times a day is too much... so the sleep time would be dependent on how the computer is used. i.e., it wouldn't make sense to set it to 90 minutes if I used the computer every 2 hours.
    I'm not going to lose sleep over a scientific analysis of my usage patterns; just curious if the new (just got it at the apple store yesterday) 23" displays had any published ratings, etc.
    Thanks

    Power-cycling the bulbs is definitely not good. Fluorescent lights (like those that illuminate the LCD displays) will last almost forever (but with decreasing brightness) if they are not powered off - the tubes weaken when they are cycled on and off.
    I spoke to a friend of mine who is an engineer in a related field to displays, etc... his advice for prolonging the life of the display was to turn the brightness down as low as possible when not in use and avoid turning powering the display on/off more than twice a day... The Cinema displays are rated at 50000 hours at half brightness; at 10 hours of use each day that is over 13 years of use. If you knock off 20% life by cranking up the brightness to 3/4 you're still within the 8-11 year life expectancy of the bulbs (@40000 hrs mtbf).
    I don't use my display where I need to make the display more than half way up the brightness scale so i've quit worrying about brightness. I adjusted the computer and display sleep timer to 3 hours and to not let the drives sleep until the machine itself goes to sleep. I use the computer a lot so this 3 hour setting is only set in case I forget to turn it off before going to bed.
    But to your original question, you'll definitely fatigue the bulbs prematurely by cycling them on and off. My parents have a single 40W fluorescent bulb wired directly into the 120V circuit, it is on 24x7x365 and never turned off - my dad dates the bulbs and has replaced the bulbs only twice in 23 years. The Phillips bulb lasted 14 years, but the other only 9. In their kitchen they have a 4-bulb fixture and those same bulbs last only about 2-3 years.
    The power inverter that powers the fluorescent bulb in LCD displays is the weak link in the chain as they aren't made as durable as a ballast inverter for full size bulbs. Do a search on the net and you'll find numerous pages about technicians finding the inverter in laptops, etc. failing long before the fluorescent bulbs.
    ... so i'm not going to worry about it getting dim but only concern myself with not powering it on and off more than once or twice a day.
    thanks

  • QuickTime makes display sleep, according to screen saver time

    QuickTime 7.1, OS 10.4.6, PowerBook G4
    My display sleep time is set for never, and my screen saver is set for 5 minutes. When I play a QuickTime movie, if I don't move the pointer once in a while, the display sleeps at 5 minutes. I could see QuickTime movies not informing the computer that something is going on, but in this case the screen saver should activate. Instead, the display simply sleeps.
    Any idea what's going on?

    Does not matter any more.

  • Mac Mini wont' Display Sleep after Yosemite Update

    My Mac Mini is no longer going into Display Sleep. Instead I now see the Screen Saver.  I have checked System Preferences | Energy Saver and it is definitely set to Display Sleep after 10 minutes (The default). What is interesting is that if I try to change the Display Sleep time (e.g. to 1 hour), when I go back into Energy Saver, it is back to 10 minutes - this doesn't look right!  In fact none of the options (e.g. Wake on LAN) seem to stay changed.
    This seemed to start after the update to Yosemite 10.10.1 a few days ago - but that might be coincidental. Until then Display Sleep had worked fine.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • Sleep/Display Sleep - Either one seems to interfere with Airport

    If I put the system to "Sleep", or if the Screen Saver is put to sleep; upon awakening, there is a disruption of system wireless/internet connection. What could cause this?

    If you are also using a Screen Saver before the Display Sleep kicks in, try setting the screen saver to Never. Does that have any effect on this wireless network connection issue?
    Also, it may be useful to know if the disconnection happens when the Display Sleep starts, or when it ends. To do this, find some download that will take longer that the Display Sleep time to complete. Start the download and leave it alone. Make sure the download is still happening when Display Sleep starts. Leave it alone, in display sleep mode so that it has more than enough time to complete the download (but before the Computer Sleep setting kicks in). Did the download fail or did it complete?
    Also, does this problem also occur if you manually sleep the display versus the timed (no activity) display sleep? You can manually sleep the display by setting a +Hot Corner+ to +Put Display to Sleep+, in System Preferences +Desktop & Screen Saver+ pane.

  • External display resolution changes after returning from display sleep

    I often use an external display as a second screen with my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.8.2)  However, when I return to the computer after the display has gone to sleep, the external display resolution changes when the display reappears.  Then I have to go into System Preferences > Display and "Detect Displays" in order to return the external display to the proper resolution.
    Does anybody know of a way for me to avoid having to do this every time my display sleeps?
    Thank you,
    Adam

    I have the exact same problem.
    I found the key combination ⌘ alt F2 also restores the proper resolution on both displays, however it's still a bit annoying

  • Mac Sleep Timer (through 'Energy Saver' in System Preferences) won't work

    Hello,
    I have a MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2009) running Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3,
    and it has been installed with the latest software updates possible.
    (The latest update is the 'Security Update 2010-003')
    Previously I was using Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 on my MacBook,
    and I can vaguely remember the timed computer sleep through Energy Saver would work.
    That is, when the counter's time matches the amount of time I specified (e.g. 10 minutes), the computer enters sleep mode and displays a pulsing power light.
    After upgrading to Snow Leopard I can barely remember the scheduled computer sleep will work as I don't really notice how it sleeps / I will shut down my MacBook before I go to bed.
    ==========
    However, last night I was really tired and slept in front of my MacBook unconsciously.
    When I woke up, I found that my MacBook didn't display a pulsing power light but a continuously-growing power light.
    I tapped the trackpad and the display turned on, so I knew that my MacBook didn't go to sleep a whole night.
    *What that means is that the Sleep Timer (through 'Energy Saver' in System Preferences) won't work.*
    But the timed display sleep DOES work.
    ==========
    After spending a whole day Googling,
    I found that there are plenty of people suffering the same problem as me, although their Macs and OSs vary.
    I also found an official support page from Apple concerning the related issue:
    Mac OS X: Why your Mac might not sleep or stay in sleep mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776
    I tried the following methods but still can't resolve the problem:
    _- boot my MacBook in safe mode_
    _- use the 'Disk Utility' to repair Disk Permissions through booting my MacBook from the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Installation DVD_
    _- reset NVRAM (Intel-based) (as PRAM is used by PowerPC-based Macs)_
    _- reset SMC (System Management Controller)_
    NONE of the above-mentioned methods can resolve the problem.
    Althought I am sure that the Spotlight isn't indexing the hard drive, and I just start my computer and do nothing and wait for the scheduled computer sleep, the scheduled computer sleep just won't work.
    In the other Mac forum, I saw someone suggest installing an application called PleaseSleep:
    http://www.dragonone.com/products/macosx/pleasesleep/
    It works.
    But I really want to find out what caused this problem as this is a function shipped with Mac which is expected to work normally.
    What's more, Apple is claiming to be a green Apple, right?

    ==========
    Looking forward to your replies! Thanks in advance!

    Found this discussion by googling "com.apple.systempreferencescouldn't find any matches"...
    One month ago I bought a brand new Macbook Pro 13", and after a couple of weeks I realized it wasn't sleeping on its own when it should, per the system preferences. (I did sleep when I chose "Sleep" in the menus or closed it... It just wouldn't sleep on its own, while open.) What was extra frustrating was that it was intermittent... It would sleep on its own maybe 1/3 of the time, but other times it would NEVER go to sleep. I deleted PowerManagement.plist, reset the SMC, etc... No luck.
    I took it to the "geniuses" at the Apple Store, and the guy took all of five minutes trying to diagnose the problem. When my MBP wouldn't sleep on its own, he promptly replaced it with a new one. That was nice, but I actually would have preferred that he diagnosed and fixed it. (I think the store was so swamped with people coming in for service that day that they were doing anything they could to close cases and get customers out of there ASAP.)
    Now, sitting here with my 48-hour-old MBP, I still have the problem. The other one was so new that I had barely put anything on it yet. The only applications I had put on it were MS Office for Mac 2011, Firefox, Chrome, and Adobe Flash Player. I've put Office and Flash Player on this one, but not yet Firefox or Chrome. That's it. No other customization or fancy business.
    I looked into the Console just now, and I see the "Couldn'tfind any matches" entry popping up again and again. The last three seemed to pop upright around the time when my MBP should have gone to sleep on its own, but not down to the second, so it's hard to definitively point at that and say it's it for sure.
    They need to fix this!!

  • Can I use Hot Corners to make the display sleep immediately?

    I have Hot Corners set up so that the screen-saver kicks in as soon as I move the mouse to the top-right corner. However, I'd really like to be able to make the display sleep immediately, rather than show the screen-saver first... can I do that? There doesn't seem to be a Hot Corners option for "Display sleep".

    Hi Garth
    That can be set using expose.
    Open up preferences /dashboard & expose.
    Click on one of the buttons to set your option to start screen saver by choosing the corner you wish to use.
    Message was edited by: Glenn Leblanc
    Sorry, misread your message the first time. Can't be done with hot corners.

  • How to display the time & battery % in home screen

    How to display the time & battery % in home screen

    Try resetting your device.
    Hold down the Home and Sleep/Power Buttons until the Apple Logo shows up.
    Ignore the red slider if it appears.
    This will reboot the phone, no data should be lost.

  • "Disable Screen Saver" hot corner no longer prevents Display Sleep

    I am not sure whether it started only after I upgraded to 10.5.7, but I certainly have this very annoying issue right now.
    I have "Disable Screen Saver" assigned to the top right "hot corner". Some time ago I could place my mouse pointer there in order to prevent activating of "Display Sleep" (as well as gradually dimming before jumping into bed).
    It no longer works. I have my pointer in the right corner, and nevertheless the display first dims, then goes to sleep.
    Is this only my problem? Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks!

    Anybody?

  • Using iSight to stop display sleep

    Hi
    I want to use an old 20" iMac as a simple billboard behind a window, showing an iPhoto slideshow, without any user interactivity. That's the easy part.
    However, since there won't people to look at the screen all the time, and there may in fact be continuous hours without any onlooker, I would like to turn off the display after some time, using the Energy Saving preferences. The trick is to turn it back on. Since there is no keyboard or mouse (slideshow folder will be updated via VNC or a scheduled script), the only conceivable input method would be the iSight. The trick is therefore to fool OS X into thinking that any motion detected by the iSight is a user interaction that delays or stop display sleep. I don't even want to take a picture when motion is detected.
    I researched the various uses of the iSight, and many options are offered to use it as motion detector and security camera. I haven't found anything related to using it as motion detector to simply turn on the screen (or trigger other actions through Automator, for example).
    Does anybody have an idea how it can be done?
    Another idea would be to use a real motion detector and connect its contact to an old USB mouse button. Less elegant, but workable.
    JL

    The system does not have a proviso for a "modified half/clamshell mode". If you want the main display off, and the external display on, you will need to attach a keyboard to the computer, and close the display.

  • Visualizer won't prevent display sleep?

    I've seen other posts related to this but haven't found the exact issue, so here goes (and thanks in advance for your insights):
    Instead of using appleTV, I hardwired my nice, huge sony tv to my macpro with a DVI-to-HDMI cable.  I did this because I like to have the iTunes visualizer running during parties and such (because, APPLE, the ATV won't freaking do it!)
    The problem is that the iTunes visualizer apparently doesn't count as "activity," and the displays (including my tv) go to sleep after the interval that I've set in system preferences for display sleep.
    I know that I can fix this by simply changing my system preferences when I intend to use my TV in this way, and I know that this isn't hard to do.  But I want to make sure that there isn't an option that I've missed.
    Is there a way to tell the OS, one time and permanently, not to put the display(s) to sleep if the visualizer is running?
    Thanks again y'all!

    The same thing happens on both my MacBook Pro (15", late 2011) and Mac Mini running Mavericks. After the screen saver appears, the computer's display won't sleep if the Playstation DualShock 3 controller is either plugged in (via USB) or connected via Bluetooth.
