#Mac turn off screensaver start after Pc

Yea thanks, but the goal is also to reduce power consumption- most of the power consumption of a mac (well, at least with a PC I know for sure), is from the monitor.

It could run 'headless' either with no monitor or with an external monitor turned off. If price is no object, you might consider another Mac, dedicated to server functions. Switching the network to wireless & using an AirPort finally gave me what I wanted. In my case the goal was to feed the house network, which was then wired through my bedroom cable modem & my iMac G5. The interim solution, and I realize it's gonna come across as flippant, was to cover the screen with a heavy wool throw when I felt like going to bed. I had a motive similar to yours but never did find a good solution. In which case, I want it to turn off 'right now' rather than in an hour which is what I have the screensaver set to.

Yep, I have the same motive, plus I want the screen off so I can leave it running as a server and connect to it over VNC remotely. Jeffrey Goldberg I rarely read top-posted, over-quoting or HTML postings. I've set a hot corner for sleep display as work-around, but I really would prefer to be able to do it from her account without having to mess with her hot corner settings. My daughter's iMac is in her bedroom, and there I times when she (my daughter, not the iMac) is sleeping that I wish to access it remotely. I don't know about the OP, but that is not good enough for me. I don't know of any way to make this happen on demand, but that might be just as good, depending on what you want to achieve.

I have one of those 'all-in-one imac thingies'. Posted Via Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services - ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY **. All three can be accomplished by turning off the display, unless you happen to have one of those fancy all-in-one iMac thingies. :-(ġ and 2 can be accomplished by setting a hot corner for the screen saver. I'm not the OP, but I was watching the replies because I've had very much the same desire, but never found an answer. That enery saver preference might count as the closest one can come, but it isn't the same thing. And I sure don't want to have to go in and fiddle those preferences every time I leave or come back to the computer. Sure I could set the enery-saver delay to some negligable time, but then that would be annoying in general use.

It is quite common for me to be leaving the computer for a while and want to put the display (but not the computer) to sleep *RIGHT NOW*, on command - not after some delay. Set 'Put the display(s) to sleep when the computer is inactive for:' to whatever time delay you want to use. How do I turn off the screen but leave the computer on.
