How can I change power mamangement idle timers to less than 15 minutes?

Can someone please take a crack at this? It's a little confusing that power manager allows the display to be turned off after only 1 min of idle yet won't allow the brightness to be lowered until at least 15 minutes. I would like the brightness to be lowered (maybe 5 minutes) and then turn the display off after 15 min. Why can't all idle timers be set by the minute instead of those 15/30/etc min intervals?

I have the latest version 2.5. Still some settings, like lowering brightness, have discrete idle times that start at 15 minutes. It might be a a vista power management issue and in that case I still don't understand why some settingshave 15 minute interval options and some can be set to any number of minutes.
really i wouldn't mind being able to lower the brightness at even 1 minute idle when on battery power.

  • My headphone jack no longer holds my headphones all of a sudden, how can i fix that? my ipod is less than a year old.

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    or send it to Apple
    Apple - Support - iPod - Service FAQ
    Apple may determine that the damage is due to abuse. If they do so you will have to pay for Apple to exchange your iPod with a refurbished one.. The price is $99 if you have a 64 GB one and $99 for the others.

  • How can I change my power regulator to a new one?

    In august 24,2010, I bought a macbook pro 13-inch from apple on-line store. But today, my power regulator of magsafe was broken. I don't know what's wrong with it. I use my friend's magsafe, and his magsafe is good. So I want to change another. How can I change a new magsafe? If I post this broken magsafe, what information must be post with magsafe? You can check my purchased on this account last month. Thank you

    You need to go to your nearest Apple store with your receipt and show them the busted MagSafe and ask for a replacement. This is just a Forum of users assisting users we can't do anything about hardware warranty claims and replacements.

  • My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet".How can I change ip address?

    My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
    Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.

    First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
    Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
    After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
    If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

  • When i add a new contact to my phone, their details are saved in my contact list, but the name doesn't show up when they ring or txt me, how can i change that?

    when i add a new contact to my phone, their details are saved in my contact list, but the name doesn't show up when they ring or txt me, how can i change that?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • How can I change the tax formula in system form ?

    Hi,
      Usually the tax is extra-added for 5% in calcaulating.
      But now I need to change the formula of tax to be embeded.
      How can I change the tax formula in system form ?
                                           Besr regard!

    Great!
    I suppose "Speed-button" is the same as "toolbar button", right?
    To all (more or less):
    It confirms that I am on the right track when I bother the participants in this forum time-after-time with remarks to train themselves - or get trained - in application + customization features (+ SDK).
    Of course as developers we can use the SDK for whatever purpose and try to develop additional functionality - ... that might already be there, but we just don't know about it
    In addition the power of customization features (UDFs/UDTs/queries/formatted searches (also bound to fields on SAP Business One forms)...) should not be underestimated!!!
    When starting development with SDK you - or the person who writes the specifications for an Add-On must IMHO be familiar with the application + the customization features + being trained with SDK to avoid unnecessary development or getting into trouble latest when the solution is shipped to a customer...
    Please again note that there's a lot of eLearning available in the education area in the SMB Portal on SAP Service Marketplace.

  • External hard disc is read only on my MacBook air and I can't safe and export files on it, how can I change that

    My external hard drive is read only on my MacBook air and I cand safe  or export files to it. How can I change this so I can use the external hard drive to export my files and work on an other pc.

    Eject and disconnect the drive (and its power supply, if it has a separate one) for a few moments, then restart it.  Restart your Mac, then reconnect the drive.
    If that doesn't help, the directory structure may be damaged.  See if you can Repair it, per #6 in Using Disk Utility.

  • The aps store has an old email address as part of my apple I'd.. How can I change that?

    I have changed my apple I'd on my desktop, but cant get it changed on my ipad2 when I'm in iTunes or the aps store.
    It shows my old email address as the first part of my apple I'd. How can I change that?

    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and sign out, then sign in with the correct account. If that doesn't work, sign out of the account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • If I chose the wrong folder as defaulf for downloads to go to, how can I change it?

    I use download manager. I hit '''yes''' when asked if I wanted to make the folder shown as the default for future downloads of that type. I did not mean to do that. How can I change the default folder?

    Hi belladonna82,
    You should take a look at the [[Downloads window]] and [[Options window - General panel]] Knowledge Base articles. They will give you all the details you need. Unless you are talking about the default action and not the actual download folder? If so, you should look at [[Options window - Applications panel]].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

    How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

    You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.
