IMac late 2013 does not have "Computer sleep" setting in Energy Saver prefs

I seem to be missing the "Computer sleep" setting in my Energy Saver pref window. All I see is "Turn display off after" setting. The computer does go to sleep.Is this a change that was made for recent iMacs?

It appears that the chip manages the power states itself. Again getting exact information on this is a pain and I'm really surprised (well maybe not so surprised) that Apple hasn't said anything about this. You'd think if they make such a drastic change to the system and to the Energy Savings pane of System Preferences there would be something.
From http://www.itpro.co.uk/desktop-hardware/19655/intel-haswell-release-date-and-spe cs-revealed#ixzz2iJsWa73p
Haswell chips will have 3 power states, compared to two in its predecessor, Ivy Bridge. These will be Active, Sleep, and Active Idle. Intel claims the advanced power saving will help give it at least 20x power consumption improvement over third generation chips.
It appears that the CPU will put itself to sleep if it is inactive for so many cycles.  In a way this makes sense, the old method of telling the system to sleep after so many minutes is really very imprecise.
The only reason not to put the system to sleep as soon as it is idle is that it takes some amount of time to wake-up. So the lag would be annoying if it happened each time the system was idle. With the Haswell chip (as near as I can make out) wake-up is almost instantaneous. So there is no lag going from sleep to running. With no lag then it becomes feasible to put the CPU to sleep sooner and more often.
Again there is nothing I can point you to that states this it's what I've pieced together from various sources. In any case the missing setting in System Preferences is not an error so I guess you'll get to experience fist hand how this all works. Post back with your observations, it will be interesting to hear what you think.

  • MacBook Pro late 2013 does not show login window after waking from sleep

    MacBook Pro late 2013 does not always prompt for login, but opens directly to desktop, even though security settings are setup to prompt for password after 5 minutes. Up to now, this only has happened on battery, machine goes to sleep or lid is closed, 10 minutes pass, lid is opened and desktop is shown instead of lock screen. Console shows, that the machine was actually sleeping (10 min no log entries) and also does not show any error in regards to login window.
    This behaviour occurs randomly and I could not track down any root cause/behaviour, yet. Sometimes everything behaves as it should.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Count me in, I have the same issue, and from what I read here, it looks like a Yosemite/SSD related issue ?
    I'm not 100% sure if it started when I put a SSD in my old iMac 2009 (as a fusion drive) or if that's after that when I upgraded to Yosemite...
    I did disable auto poweroff like suggested in another thread : Mac freeze during the night sleep.
    sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
    We'll see if it helps.
    It happens toughly a couple of times a week.

  • Can i hook up a new macbook air to my older imac screen that does not have a thunderbolt i/o?

    can i hook up a new macbook air to my older imac screen that does not have a thunderbolt i/o? if not - what can i do to view on a larger display? thanks in advance for any help!!!

    You should be able to get an adapter that will change the Thunderbolt out to a DVI or HDMI out, and connect that to an external monitor.  I am not sure what connection your iMac screen has, or if it even HAS input capability.  I know that the 27' iMac BEFORE it was given the Thunderbolt ports had MiniDP input.  If your iMac is any older than that one, I am not sure. But the adapter should allow you to output to any DVI or HDMI display, depending on which adapter you get.

  • I just bought an iMac and it does not have IDVD on it.  Isn't it supposed to have it????

    I just bought an iMac and it does not have IDVD on it.  Isn't it supposed to have it???? HEEELLLLPPP?

    No, iDVD and iWeb are no longer included with Macs shipping with Lion preinstalled.
    You will need to purchase iLife '11 on DVD if you need iDVD.

  • I have an iMac. It does not have CD port. I have downloaded CD music on to my PC and syncd with my iPod. I assumed that the iPod would transfer that music to my iMac but it doesn't. Any advice please.

    I have an Imac. It does not have a CD port. I have downloaded CD music on to my old PC and sync'd with my iPod. I'd assumed that this would then transfer the same music on to my iMac. That's not the case. I iMac removes music it has not previously stored from my iPod. Any advice please?

    iTunes only allows you to transfer songs from an iPod if they were purchased in the iTunes Store.
    As they were transferred from a CD, you have to use an application like Senuti > http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/ It will transfer the music from an iPod to iTunes

    the user copied a formulation spec and entered a wip , then tried to save. it's like it wasn't recognizing the 100%. We didn't change tabs and try that, they endedup writing a new spec to get around it. We are not modifying and inputs programatically.
    Another issue we saw this morning:
    1, create a marinade in step 1
    2 consume an FO in step 2
    3 click consume from step - receive unhandled error
    we found that if we put a percentage in on the FO un step 2 before clicking consume from step , it works fine. Can you guys cast a warning or error message instead of the unhandled?
    thanks,

    Hi Stephen,
    What version of MS Office are you using?
    Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
    Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
    From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
    The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
    • Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
    • Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
    For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
    The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
    • Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com POP port: 995
    • Outlook.com POP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes

  • HT1539 I have the new imac and it does not have a dvd drive. How can I download digital copy of a movie?

    Some Blu rays and DVDs come with digital copies and you inset them into the dvd drive and it downloads the movie to itunes and then you can put them on any iDevice. The new iMac does not have a dvd or disc drive. What can I do?

    You will either need to borrow or purchase an external DVD drive, or if you have access to another computer that has a DVD drive you may be able to use Remote Disk:

  • HT201150 macbook air 11" 2013 does not wake from sleep mode. Any ideas?

    Since I have changed my macbook air, I had started to have these issues. This is my third macbook air11" and until this one all was fine.All of a sudden I started to have the sleep/wake problem. Oce the lid is closed, it goes to sleep and does not wake up or the battery needs to be charged pops out and I have to charge for 10 minutes and find out that I already have 80-90% battery power. Also the apps open up, but the windows get lost( mail is open, but no window to read the mails) The genius bar checked the laptop twice and finally changed it , but nothing else changed in my life. All the issues are the same, and even getting worse. Just a minute ago, I even lost the WiFi. "There is no hardware message appeared!! Anyone for any ideas?

    You're welcome... here's hoping it's not a hardware issue but this test will elimnate any suspicions.
    You could also check the startup disk for errors.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart

  • Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2013) does not connect to Wifi

    Hi,
    I just bought a new macbook pro 3 days back. It was working fine till it suddenly dropped connection to the home WiFi. Since then it shows a list of wifi options including the one that i was connected to but does not connect to it. The error message says that the computer cannot connect to the wifi. and asks me to run diagnostics
    I have done the following
    Run Diagnostic
    Switched the wifi off and on
    Restarted Mac
    Deleted the network from the preferred list and tried to join again
    Tried to manually enter the details of the wifi
    Switched the router and modem off and on again
    Any help would be really appreciated. It's just been 3 days with the mac and I wasn't expecting this.
    regards,
    ss

    Does this connect to other WiFi networks?
    As for the problematic WiFi network, see if  > System Preferences > Network > select the WiFi network in the left column > Assist Me... and see if the Assistant and the Diagnostics options can provide any insight into the connectivity problem.
    Failing that, take the MacBook Pro back into the folks at the Apple Store and have them take a look at it, and see if it'll connect to the WiFi network there.

  • Mac Book Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013 does not seem to work with Adobe Premiere CC 2014

    So I have just spent brought the latest mac book 15 inch pro with Nvida, and rendering some screen recording I originally captured in quicktime with a few backgrounds crashes adobe cc, it takes about 4 min, I can hear my mac getting hot, and says a serious issue has occurred and it needs to quit??? I also have FCP and the same footage renders in 2 min and finishes without any issues.
    If I change it to software mode still gets crazy hot and after 40min had only got to 40% completed, so that is not a viable option
    This seems to be a common topic on the forum without any solutions. here is my error report. Any ideas???

  • IMac (late 2006) Does not boot. No matter what I do.

    Hello all,
    The iMac I have is the 17'' iMac from 2006 w/ 512mb of ram and OS x 10.4. I press the power button and immediately after the sound the apple logo and pinwheel come on but stay on. It never gets past that and I do not know what else to do. I've tried to run it in safe mode and it doesnt work. I've burned a copy of the Snow Leopard OS x DVD from my friend and it wont start from the DVD. It wont run in single user mode/ verbose mode. When I press the option button on startup with the DVD in I get two options, the HD and the DVD but no matter which one I press it just hangs. Recently I pressed the DVD option and now it goes from the apple logo to the circle with a slash symbol. What should I do??
    -Rommel

    I would suggest using either the recovery disk that came with the computer or an actual Snow Leopard disk.
