[QUOTE="newmac, post: 275403"] Hi everyone! I got my 1st mac a couple days ago (macbook pro) and so far I love everything about it. One small issue I have not been able to figure out is this: When I'm watching movies/videos in quicktime the computer will keep dimming the display and, if I don't manually set it not to in the system preferences, going into sleep mode. Also, it seems that even though I can disable it from sleeping, it still will dim the display after a certain amount of time. I was wondering if there was any way (similar to the way windows programs do) to disable my computer from sleeping, dimming the display, running a screen saver, etc while quicktime is playing. Wether it be a setting somewhere or a plug-in, I would really like to not have to manually change the settings back and forth all the time just so I can watch videos more then a few minutes long. Thanks for any suggestions! [/QUOTE]
