  • Screen shutting off on M2 Mac Pro

    From MuahMan@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 9 08:56:06 2022
    Under Preferences in Screen Saver area it is set to 30 minutes, why is my screen shutting off in 2? Does OS X have a Power Settings area I'm missing? When the screens shuts off I get kicked from my Azure domain controllers. Dang it!!!

    Is there a yellow warning triangle next to the time you set for the
    screen saver? Then look to "Energy Saver" to set the time until the
    display turns off to a longer time than you have set for the screen
    saver to activate (and why 30 minutes until screen saver? Do you really
    go for half an hour just looking at your screen, and never touching a control?), and further, that the "Prevent your Mac from automatically
    sleeping when the display is off" is checked.



    And dont' forget roubleshooting 101, Pratt-fall:

    What people forget is that UI elements that both show a setting and
    allow you to change aren't like physical switches.

    A simple light switch has "on" and "off" positions, and if the switch is
    "on" and the light isn't, then the safe assumption is that the bulb is
    at fault.

    An "on/off" slider on a computer is a representation of the state of
    something within some program's logic, and the representation can show
    "On" without the underlying logic actually matching.

    If it is on battery power default preferences allow the display to be on
    only a couple of minutes.

    That was it. It was under battery. TY
