Hi All
thanks in advance for any replies.
I am wondering why it is Apple designed the KB and mouse so that they have to be physically turned off at the end of the day ( if as I do you believe this will save battery life )
My daughter has a mac in her room and she has trained it to shut down through voice command when she's been watching something from her high rise bunk bed, but she still has to get back down to turn the mouse and KB off.
Can anyone provide stats on the batt life that's lost if she just leaves them turned on 24/7 or do they both auto off anyway after a time of inactivity?
( If there's already something in the system to achieve this next point please direct me.)
Can anyone name an app that takes over and turns them off through software ? If this is even possible considering they have switches.
If there's no app but the potential for one maybe some writer can create what I'm sure many users might find a useful tool ?
thanks once again
regards
