This puts you in the lock screen, but will not use your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac. My favorite idea is to select Lock Screen from the Apple menu. I brought this up on Twitter yesterday, got a number of suggestions (along with some expressions of frustration at this change). You can read all about that behavior in this technical note. But with the introduction of the 2018 models, Apple made a change to both MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, so they turn on when you touch any key or the trackpad. In the old days, you could shut down your Mac, do your wiping, carefully avoiding the power on button. He asked for the best way to disable this behavior. With his Apple Watch set to unlock his computer, he found himself wipe-typing, not something he wanted. I can't get into it here, I have a friend who is doing some wacky stuff that will wow you.A friend of mine has been away from the Mac for a long time (living on an iPad), just bought a new MacBook Pro.Īs he went to wipe down his keyboard, he discovered that pressing a key or the trackpad woke his computer. With macOS Sierra some interesting things will be happening that you may not want to shut your system down. Then the only reason to shut the system down is when you go on holiday! So do think about just leaving the system running and just putting it into sleep mode. Don't forget to hookup the UPS to your system so the system can be shut down by the UPS.Īnd lastly, I do recommend turning off and disconnecting the cords to the system and the other peripherals during a lightning storm from all connections: power, cable, network & telco just to be safe! I do stress you should have at least a surge suppressor, but to be really safe a UPS is the way to go! That way your work is safe from being lost. The cost of the added electric load to your electric bill could be a down side too. Yes, it makes it more convenient to leave it on, But the bad side is power disruptions can corrupt what you have left open (your work) and can over stress the system. In truth Apple's idea of leaving the system on has its Pro's n Con's.
In addition Apple over time has worked hard to improve the OS loading process. In the newest systems with SSD's or Fusion drive sets this is less of an issue from the hardware side. The idea here was it took so much time to boot up (slow HD's) people wouldn't want to wait for the boot up.
Which is why Steve hid the power switch in the back -} Apple's direction with the iMac was you would leave it on and just put it into sleep mode when you either told the system to sleep or its timer would.
