[QUOTE="NanoBite, post: 336795, member: 13565"] There's no such thing as being a pain here if you have an honestly frustrating issue that is driving you bananas! Leaving your MacBook on overnight if perfectly fine, in fact Macs have been designed for this. Overnight, there are maintenace scripts at work, cleaning and tidying up after you, so if you are shutting it down you'll need to run these manually anyhow. Here are some linky things to read: [URL="http://www.macsimumnews.com/index.php/archive/macbasics_leave_your_mac_on_or_shut_it_down"]Leave on/Shut down?[/URL] [URL="http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-52427.html"]Shut Down/Leave On?[/URL] [URL="http://www.charlesarthur.com/blog/?p=675"]Leave Down/Shut On?[/URL] [URL="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&rls=en-us&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=mac+maintenance+apps&spell=1"]Also I thought I'd include a linky regarding free maintenance apps.[/URL] This is how I have the Energy Saving set: System Preferences>Energy Saver>Sleep Put Computer to sleep when inactive for ..... I have this set to Never. Put Display to sleep when inactive for ...... I have this set to about 50 mins. Put Hard Disc(s) to sleep when possible .... I have this box unchecked. These settings are for my iMac, which is on all day and I periodically work on it throughout the day/night. [/QUOTE]
