Dual Display Energy Saver/One at a time

I'm interested to know if there is any way to enable the display sleep so that it effects a dual monitor setup individually, ie. one monitor is awake, while the other one goes to sleep.
Any ideas? I didn't see anything in the System Preferences that enables this. Perhaps an external app?
Thanks

Sorry, I know bumping is frowned upon, but I have yet to find a solution for this, and this thread disapearred into the obscurity of the double-gigit pages very, very quickly.

Button to toggle between display energy saver modes?

Normally I keep my System Preferences: Energy Saver option set to put my G4 iBook display to sleep after one minute, to save the screen's life expectancy.
However, I have some applications that don't work with that setting-- so when I use those apps, I have got to the Apple: System Preferences: Energy Saver option and drag the bar over to where the display is Never put to sleep.
Then when I'm done with the app, I have to do it all over again to reset putting the display to sleep after 1 minute.
Is there some kind of macro or script to get where I can press a button and toggle betwee these 2 power save modes?
Thanks

Hi Christopher!
Axl's suggestion is an excellent one!
The procedure is explained, with a bit more detail, HERE.
Quote:
"Not really a shortcut, but this method, will enable you to quickly access the Energy Saver pref pane.
Open System Preferences.
From the Toolbar's System Preferences contextual menu, select Hide System Preferences.
System Preferences is still loaded, as you can see the black triangle under the Dock Icon.
If you position the cursor on that, and hold down on the mouse, a hierarchal menu will appear.
From that you can navigate to any Preference Pane in SP.
When you have finished with the Pane, select Hide System Preferences once again.
You just have to remember to Hide rather than close SP."
Good Luck!

Is there any way to cut & paste a group of links from a Word dod into a Bookmark/Folder, or must I open each link and save one at a time?

computer crashed; system restored old IE Faves but not Mozilla Bookmarks so I have to re-create them

It is much easier if you save the file with those links as an HTML file with A href="http" links in MS Word and import that file in Firefox.
(Firefox >) Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

What plist holds preference for energy saver menu bar display?

I have a Powermac and Powerbook. Using Leopard Sync of Preferences, the option to display energy saver status in the menubar has migrated from my laptop to my desktop - so now I get a blank entry in the menu bar icons where the battery status symbol appears on the laptop - you can click on it and it shows a greyed out menu (saying "No batteries available").
Because I have "no batteries available" on the Powermac, the energy saver preference pane is missing the option to 'turn on / off' display of battery status does not get shown. So I can't turn this preference off on the Powermac, and am stuck with this gap in the menu bar icons.
Presumably the display on menu bar is displayed as the result of a plist setting somewhere - but there is no obvious 'energy saver' preference: does anyone know where this setting is controlled, and if it is possible to manually correct the problem?
Many thanks

Do you know that holding the command key and clicking on a menu bar icon allows you to drag it left/right, or down from the menu to remove it? Removing it would probably sync the change back to your portable, which isn't desirable, but you could try dragging it all the way to the left so the empty space isn't as obvious on your desktop.

Help displaying Instructional Objectives 1-at-a-time using mouse down on a button on one screen.

I am brand new to Captivate 6 and have encountered my first coding problem. I have six instructional objectives and would like to display them one at a time with a mouse click on a button. I would like some guidance either with making what I a trying to do work or in the alternative telling me what I should be doing instead. Here is what I tried to do.
1. I created 6 instructional objectives on a single screen.
2. Then I created a user variable "increment_objectives." It's starting value was set to 0.
3. Next, I built an advanced conditional action. It contained seven conditional statements, each built the same way. The purpose of the seventh was to move to the next slide after all instructional objectives were viewed.
The advanced conditional action IF statement was: If increment_objectives = x then (where x varied from 0 to 7)
The ACTION statements contained the names of the six instruction objectives (objective_1 through objective_6) and these were either shown or hidden, based upon the increment_objectives value.
4. This advanced conditional action was attached to the enter frame on the slide and "no action" was on the exit frame on the slide.
5. On a Button I attached an increment value that added 1 to increment_objectives variable.
6. I set all frame objects to "duration of slide" turning off all timing increments.
I had expected that this would increment the increment_objectives variable when the mouse was clicked and that the advanced actions conditional statements would be interpreted and display the objectives one at a time. How wrong I was. Not only did they not display, but after a few seconds, the screen would flip to the next slide.
Can you offer me some help?
Rod Wolford

Hi Rod
What did you use to trigger calling the Advanced Action? From what you just described, there is nothing to trigger the action. At least beyond the initial triggering upon entering the slide.
Normally you want a Button or Click Box or other trigger to call the Advanced Action after each interaction.
Hope this helps a smidge... Rick

Making things visible one at a time

Hi I am hoping someone can help me out here!
I have one button, that when clicked should display several images, one at a time. At the minute they are all just coming on together, how do i seperate the functions so they come on individually, for example like bullet points, e.g click once and image1 appears, click again and image2 appears etc... so eventually all of the images are on screen, but they don't all just appear together, if that makes sense!
Thanks for reading

hey here is the code for ur task
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var imageUrl:Array = new Array("images/image1.jpg",
   "images/image2.jpg",
   "images/image3.jpg",
   "images/image4.jpg");
var imageLoaded:Number = 0;
var loader:Loader;
var xPos:Number=50;
var yPos:Number=30;
clickButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onClick);
function onClick(event):void{
loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onCom);

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!!

Screen saver + Energy Saver (Computer Sleep + Display Sleep) won't work since Mavericks

Howdy,
Sorry to bother you.
My computer: iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
It took me some time to upgrade to Mavericks, but I did it eventually.
After having some problems with Spotlight (which was infinite looping indexing... and I just had to turn if off from Terminal), I realized I was encountering another big problem to me since the installation of Mavericks.
In System Preferences:
- 'Desktop and Screen Saver > Screen Saver' : it is set to 1 minute;
- 'Energy Saver > Computer Sleep' : it is set to 10 minutes;
- 'Energy Saver > Display Sleep' : it is set to 5 minutes;
- 'Energy Saver > Put hard disks to sleep when possible' : it is checked.
- 'Energy Saver > Wake for network access' : it was checked. I unchecked it. Nothing changes.
- 'Energy Saver > Start up automatically after a power failure' : it is unchecked.
- 'Energy Saver > Allow power button to put computer to sleep' : this option is absent from my System Preferences > Energy Saver, but I would like it.
So, before Mavericks, everything was working great.
Now, after 1 minute, or after 5 minutes, or after 10 minutes: it's all the same. Nothing is sleepy. Nothing is energy saving.
I did not change anything in my computer since I've updated to Mavericks. However, I changed Wi-Fi. Since it was the only new change, I've "played" with 'Energy Saver > Wake for network access'. When I opened my System Preferences, it was checked. I unchecked it. It did not change anything. I'm not sure what it's used for.
I would appreciate any advice to make it work as it used to.
Thanks for your time reading and typing your answer,
Have a good day,
Regards,

- 'Energy Saver > Allow power button to put computer to sleep' : this option is absent from my System Preferences > Energy Saver, but I would like it.
Built into the Software now.
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might try Spotlight again. That is how the App Store knows what is installed.

Screen/energy saver activation times

I have a MacBook Pro and recently purchased a cool screensaver for it. However, after about 30 minutes, my dual screens just turn black instead of displaying the screen saver.
I am assuming this is for energy preservation etc but wonder if there is a way to adjust the time before the screens turn black as you can adjust the time before the screen saver is active ?
Thanks !

Hi KMoorehouse,
You need to go into System Preferences-Energy Saver, and set you display time for when it goes to sleep after being inactive. You will need to do this under Power Adapter, and Battery settings.

Shortening Energy Saver Shut Down Time?

We have a Keynote project where the presentation is on a Mac-Mini and it automatically starts and stops at set times using Energy Saver and Automator as part of a big display in a local Museum. The presentation starts up great at its designated time but when Energy Saver goes to shut down, it takes literally 10 minutes. I would like to shorten this to something like, one minute. Any suggestions?
Here's the setup:
I have the Mac-mini set to automatically start up every day at 9:00 am and shut down at 5:30 pm
The Keynote presentation is set up in Login Items to open at startup and it does. Once it loads, it automatically begins playing the presentation and loops throughout the day.
At 5:28 pm, I have an Automator script that shuts down Keynote (otherwise, the program will not let the Mac shut down). This Automator script is in iCal and is scheduled for every day.
The Automator script shuts down Keynote and a couple of minutes later, Energy Saver starts the shutdown but with the message this will take 10 minutes (!!) Then literallly 10 minutes later, with a countdown message window on the screen-- and the offer to Cancel-- the Mac-mini shuts itself off.
Why 10 minutes???
Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi,
Thy this :
1- Cut all code in the "Run AppleScript" action
2- Copy/paste this script :
on run
tell application "System Events" to shut down
end run
-- Otherwise the command "shutdown -h now" requires an admin password and must run in a do shell script

After downloading the latest version of Firefox I am unable to display more than one website at a time in the tool bar at the top of my screen.

Before I upgrades to your latest version I was able to display many websites at the same time in the tool bar at the top of my screen. Now I can only display one at a time and it is extremely annoying.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

Energy Saver Startup times

I wrote a script that opens an online radio station when iCal tells it to to act as a sort of alarm clock for me. The only way that this works is because I tell my computer to turn on at 9:55am via the Energysaver Scheduler option so that the computer can start up and allow iCal to open and activate the script. However, being that I am in college, I do not wake up at the same time everyday. Energy saver can only schedule the same time for every weekday, everyday, or one day at a time. Just one time. Do any of you know a way to set my computer to wake up at different times on different days?
Thanks

Jegdart: I have no intel-mac at home, but tested that too on a friends intel-mac. Set startup-time on MacOS, shutdown and indeed machine starts into windows. Later my friend said that it didn't work anymore after he had once booted into windows and shut it down before the startup time would kick in (startup-time settings lost?). I would be very gratefull if you/someone could verify this.
1. Also we found out that when you restart into MacOS again, the system clock is way-of and back in windows, again way of. Both have a different system time but after a short period (network time server) this gets corrected. Documentation suggest the chip time is/should be GMT.
2. Bootcamp/EFI acts as a bios-driver for windows to be able to run. So i have to test if
a tool like http://www.boraxsoft.de/CMOSTimer_eng.html will be able to poke thru and
really set the RTC timer. (It would be sad if i destroyed my friends chipset with such a tool)
Way better would be if Apple added startup-time to the bootcamp control-panel in windows.
thanx for your suggestions so far.

Energy Saver Display Sleep Not Working

I have a late 2011 MBP with an external 27" Apple display. Was working great under 10.7.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion the monitor will not go into sleep mode regardless of the Energy Saver settings. I can keystroke the monitors to sleep but they won't enter sleep automatically.
I've tried PRAM and SMC reset.
Any ideas? Bug for Apple? Anyone else having this problem? I've found at least one other guy online with a iMac that's having this problem.

So this seems to be working now. No software updates or other changes. The only thing I did different was to lock the energy saver settings. After that it started working.

Does turning off energy saver include never letting the display to sleep? A warning alerts me that its life might shorten... Thanks!

Does turning off energy saver include never letting the display to sleep? A warning alerts me that its life might shorten... Thanks!
(I'm doing this for the recalibrating of the battery etc...)

It would shorten it's life if you leave it on year 'round. For the amount of time to calibrate the battery won't hurt it.
