How to customize the energy saver settings?

I want to find a way to get these exact settings;
While lid is open: Display sleep -->10 minutes ; Computer sleep --> 20 minutes
While lid is closed: Display sleep --> immediate ; Computer sleep --> 10 minutes ;
Time it takes to switch from sleep to hibernate ("standbydelay" in terminal) --> 12 hours
I am completely open to using terminal. I have gone into the sudo pmset settings before and changed those in order to try to get these^^ settings. But never exactly these. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to apply these settings i want?

First: What is a GPO?
Second: jrv, that was not too helpful in general. someone should do some actual code.

This is a forum for technicians and not for home users. GPO is what technical people use to manage Windows. THe script to do this is in the link I posted - how is that not helpful?
I know this is all over your head. I am curious as to why you would respond in a technical forum to a question you do not understand.
We do not provide free scripts. We also will point users at correct answers.
This is not a forum for homw users or for simple support questions. It is also a thread that has been answered for a long time. Perhaps you should start a new thread if you have an actual question about scripting.

Strange behaviour of the Energy Saver settings

I noticed that the two sliders in the Energy Saver settings seem to work in tandem. If I set the Display to "Never shutdown" (I used this as I don't want my display/TV to go off in the middle of a movie as the mac sees there are no user interactions), and then try to adjust the sleep timer to anything (15min, 30min, etc.), it aligns the slider for the Display at the same point!
Is it happening only on my mac or is it the way it works for others?

That would be the simple logic. But, the scenario I mentioned is also a logical one. I have noticed that when I am watching a long Youtube video or an online movie from sites like Jaman, the screen would go off even though the system access is alive. At that time I have to scramble to the mouse/kbd to reactivate the display.
At the same time, I want to put the mini to sleep after 30min of inactivity. Hence, I want to set the sleep timer to 30min and the display to "never".
The energy saver settings show two separate sliders and there is no indication that they are attached at the hips.
Since it works this way for you as well, then I am not doing something weird. I think this is a bug in the OS.

My macbook pro's screen constantly goes dim. I have set the energy saver settings for battery to 7 mins but it goes dim if the period of inactivity is less than 7 mins. Please help. MBP 13" OSX 10.6.8 (2011)

Doesn't sound like it. It sounds like you're being logged-off.
Does your Mac go through the complete Restart cycle -- black screen, gray and/or blue screen momentarily, startup chime, etc?
If you're not sure, do a Restart just to watch the process; the next time the problem occurs, see if it's the same.
You need to know which it is, as these will have very different causes, and different places to look for a solution.

Energy saver settings won't stick

I've set my iBook to NOT dim the screen prior to going to sleep. I've also disabled the screen saver and have set the display to sleep after 1 hour. Still, the screen dims (not much, but noticeably) after just a couple of minuts of inactivity. It seems that the energy saver settings have no effect. Does anyone else see this behavior?

Keep in mind that the "Energy Saver" lock is the same lock as all the other system Preferences locks. If one is unlocked they all are.
My Macbook never has gone to Sleep on it's own, ore rarely if at all. I have attributed it to a 56 dialup accelerator that I use as that program also causes it to take about 31 seconds to go to sleep any time you manually select Sleep from the menu. I just point this out because maybe you have some application that is causing a problem with Sleep.

Energy saver settings do not stick when set in system preferences

For some reason when I restore the default settings for the energy saver settings, the settings go back to a custom setting I set months prior of Display Sleep at 1 minute.
Here is what I am doing:
Going to "System Preferences"
Going to "Energy Saver"
Pressing the button "Restore Defaults"
Everything goes back to the default settings of Computer Sleep of 10 minutes and Display Sleep of 10 minutes and I close the window out.
Problem happens: A bit later I come back to my iMac and wake it up, the setting is back to 1 minute of Display Sleep (which I did months ago, I no longer want that).
I have even locked the setting to prevent further changes. Which locks the settings in place like it should I believe. However, once the iMac sleeps and I wake it up in a couple of hours it switches back to the old setting I made months ago, 1 minute of Display Sleep, which I no longer want.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

i have the opposite problem... i would like to use custom Energy Saver settings but they will not "stick." instead they keep returning to the default settings. i followed the advice on this thread, thinking it might solve my problem too. but it did not. any suggestions?
i had one hunch - that it might have something to do with the file of same name but with ~orig at the end (see image below). should i remove the other file as well?
thanks!

How to get external monitor to obey Energy Saver settings

I have a 23 inch Apple Cinema Display connected to a 2010 15 inch 2.8 GHz i7 MacBook Pro running Mac OS X (10.6.5). I'm running the laptop in clamshell mode. Everything is working fine, but for one thing. For some reason the external display does not obey the Energy Saver Control Panel settings. I have the Energy Saver Control Panel set up so the laptop never sleeps but the display is set to sleep after 5 min. of inactivity. Unfortunately the external monitor never sleeps.
Anybody know how to get only the external monitor to sleep in clamshell mode?
Thanks…
Dragon Dictate in use. Occasionally mistakes are made. I correct the ones I notice…

Basically, reinstall the Boot Camp video drivers manually and if that doesn't work then go to the AMD/Radeon website and install the Windows drivers directly for your video card model.
If you want to do a search you will find others that have pretty good luck doing it either way.

My AppleTv keeps dimming as if it is in energy saver mode. My DVD player and TV do not do this. How do I disable the energy saver feature on AppleTv? BTW this is my second AppleTV device so it does not appear to be a product defect.

I keep seeing versions of this same question, and it's always the same answer: it's the TV. Well, it happens to me as well. But it only happens when viewing programming via Apple TV. My cable is totally fine: no dimming. Only with Apple TV. So what's the answer?

My macbook pro keeps going to screensaver after about 3 mins while watching a movie, i tried changing the time on the "Energy saver" menu in system preferences but it keeps doing it, how do i stop this?

Energy Saver settings don't "stick"

It seems like at random times the settings I have set in Energy Saver, which I lock, become "unlocked." For example, I have Energy Saver set to put the display to sleep after 8 minutes of inactivity and for the hard drive to go to sleep after 10 minutes. The lock in the lower left corner of System Preferences is locked...for sure.
It'll work fine; then one day I'll lift the lid on the MacBook; use it for awhile; will set it down, thinking it'll go to sleep if I'm not back in 10 minutes; I'll come back an hour later, only to find that while the MacBook's screen is off, the HDD did NOT go to sleep as it's set to. I'll open System Preferences, and find that somehow the lock in Energy Saver is now UNlocked.
How does this happen? Am I missing something here? What causes the Energy Saver lock to become "unlocked?" I've been burned by having a drained battery several times, and I can't figure out what I'm missing to ensure this doesn't happen as REPEATEDLY as it is?

Keep in mind that the "Energy Saver" lock is the same lock as all the other system Preferences locks. If one is unlocked they all are.

My battery icon has disappeared from my menu bar at the top of the screen and the energy saver preferences simply says 'Could not load Energy Saver preference pane'

My battery icon randomly disappeared a few months ago from my menu bar and i have been unable to make it come back. After researching solutions online it soon became clear that all of the suggestions needed me to go into the energy saver preferences in the setting however the icon for the energy saver preferences is no longer there and whenever i click in the blank space where it used to be, it simply says 'Could not load Energy Saver preference pane'. As a result of this i never know how much battery i have left and so i just have to wait for the machine to die each time
The mac in question is a 13 inch 2012 macbook air that is running on OS Mavericks at the moment.
Any ideas on how to get the icon back?
- I recently discovered by accident that before i actually log into my account on my mac, when i am still on the page that contains the options of guest user etc. at that point the battery icon is displayed in the top right hand corner? Why is it that the icon exists there but not once i have logged it? Thankyou for any advice.

How can I get Energy Saver to remain Unlocked?

For some time now (perhaps back to the days of Tiger) I have had a pesky lock that won't stay unlocked on Energy Saver. Under SL it would be locked every time the system booted up but, once unlocked, it would stay that way until the next system restart. This was one thing I was actually looking forward to being fixed (i.e., going away for good) when I moved to Mt. Lion. Sadly, it has gone from bothersome to worse — now, it relocks whenever I quit System Preferences, not just at System restart. Is there some way to get the lock on Energy Saver to stay unlocked?

Hello keriah,
Have you looked at the settings in System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Advanced? (In bottom right corner) There is an option that reads "Require an Administrator password to access locked preferences," and if this is unchecked, you should be able to leave the Energy Saver preferences unlocked.
Hopefully this helps!

Hi Madhu,
For Scenario 1 : Go to CMC.
Go to : Home > BusinessObjects Enterprise Applcations > InfoView
You can customise Inforview properties and Rights here, like setting up ur logo,style sheets etc.
For Scenario 2: Each User will have to customize their own Infoview.
Go to Infoview. On the top right corner will be 3 icons. Click on the 'Preferences' icon.
In the General tab of preferences you can customise the infoview settings.
Hope this helps.

Machine goes to sleep faster than Energy Saver settings

Hi all,
(I've searched for existing threads aboutthis but couldn't find any. Hope I'm not "re" posting)
I use my laptop (MBP 2.4, 8gb, INtel Core i7) to play music live, so I need it to not go to sleep for at least... 30-40 minutes as I will frequently not touch it directly for that long as I'm busy playing my instruments. But it goes to sleep consistently after about 10 minutes even though I've got the display set to sleep abfter 1.5 hours and the computer to sleep after 2 hrs.
Then I noticed the same thing on my Mac Pro in my studio. Same Energy Saver settings, still goes to sleep after about 10-15 minutes. Which means I have to re-enter my password there too. Same thing on my older MBP. Theyr'e all on Lion 10.7.4.
This is very annoying. Anyone know what I'm doign wrong?
Huge thanks!

I'm not sure why Energy Saver is doing that, but you may want to download Caffeine from the Mac App Store. It's a menu bar application that you can click and unclick that, when clicked, keeps your Mac on until it is unclicked or if you close the laptop lid/manually put it to sleep.
