[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1757025, member: 83420"] @hoody There are apps that will achieve what you want by apparently overriding the Mac's internal settings. I must stress that I have no personal experience of these, however. Caffeine used to be much liked, but is a bit long in the tooth with equivocal support: [url]http://lightheadsw.com/caffeine/[/url] A better and more recent app is Amphetamine: [url]https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/amphetamine/id937984704?mt=12[/url] Here also, is a review of "caffeine alternatives": [url]http://www.idownloadblog.com/2016/02/17/amphetamine-keepingyouawake-for-mac/[/url] NB my caveat of zero personal experience with these, but you may care to explore them.
