• How to make mac OS Big Sur v11.6.4 to never sleep when using battery in a 2020 Intel MBP?

    Hello.

    How do I tell mac OS Big Sur v11.6.4 to never sleep when using in a 2020
    Intel MBP? I only want to set this as a test since I'm trying to figure
    out why this MBP crashes when waking up after sleeping once in a while.
    So far on power AC connection, it never crashes with sleep disabled.
    macOS Big Sur v11.6.(3&4) doesn't have an option to do that. I only can disable its power nap and display sleep.

    Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

    My best advice is that you simply update to Monterey 12.2.1

    Works like a dream!

    It's a BIG change. Set it in motion just before you go to bed and it
    will be up and running once you awake!

    Good luck! 🙂

    There should be an option in System Preferences > Energy Saver called
    "Prevent your Mac from automatically sleeping when the display is off". Enabling that option will cause the computer to stay awake even when the display sleeps.

    If you want the display to never sleep, set the "Turn display off after" setting to "Never". If you do that, it's probably best to make sure you
    have a screen saver enabled too.

    Otherwise, as the saying goes, "There's an app for that". I've used
    Amphetamine for years to prevent sleep when certain apps or processes
    are running, and it's a nice tool to have handy for such a thing:

    Ooh. Interesting that Enhancer is from GitHub (not Apple's app store),
    but it requires the original Amphetamine from Apple's App Store. I
    wonder why not offer from Github too?

    Also, Redditors told me about caffeinate command in Terminal which works
    too and already included in macOS!

    I do think it best to use the most up-to-date offerings from the
    manufacturer.
    They know, better than any other 'expert', how to 'fix' a Mac.

    Keep it plugged in.

    I only want to set this as a test since I'm trying to figure
    out why this MBP crashes when waking up after sleeping once in a while.
    So far on power AC connection, it never crashes with sleep disabled.
    macOS Big Sur v11.6.(3&4) doesn't have an option to do that. I only can disable its power nap and display sleep.

    I am not sure what that means as it seems self-contradictory, but if the machine is on battery it WILL sleep, period. The only way to prevent it
    from sleeping on battery is to keep using it until its battery drains.

    "Keep using it" can be running an application that prevents sleep.
    there are many ways to do so, even some apps that only prevent sleep,
    but doing something like playing a video will prevent sleep.

    My best advice is that you simply update to Monterey 12.2.1

    Works like a dream!

    It's a BIG change. Set it in motion just before you go to bed and it
    will be up and running once you awake!

    Is it still buggy?

    It never *was* buggy for most people - you just fell for the hype. What supposed bugs do you claim I have experienced running it since release?
    Hint: none.

    All software has bugs. Just because some blogger reports some people
    experience an issue doesn't mean that you or most others will too.

    When was it "buggy"? During the beta, sure. Otherwise? No, it's been
    rock solid for tens of millions if not hundreds or millions of users.

    I'm currently on 12.3 beta, and it is also rock solid.

    Is it perfect? Of course not, nothing is. Does it crash, corrupt data,
    brick computers, or fail to work? No, it does not do any of these
    things.

    Maybe you should stop listening to idiot trolls?

    There should be an option in System Preferences > Energy Saver called
    "Prevent your Mac from automatically sleeping when the display is off".
    Enabling that option will cause the computer to stay awake even when the >>> display sleeps.

    If you want the display to never sleep, set the "Turn display off after" >>> setting to "Never". If you do that, it's probably best to make sure you
    have a screen saver enabled too.

    Otherwise, as the saying goes, "There's an app for that". I've used
    Amphetamine for years to prevent sleep when certain apps or processes
    are running, and it's a nice tool to have handy for such a thing:

    <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amphetamine/id937984704?mt=12>

    Interesting. I'd not happened across this before.

    Do you also recommend THIS facility?

    https://github.com/x74353/Amphetamine-Enhancer

    Yes, but that's only needed if you need to create triggers for processes
    that don't appear in the non-enhanced version.

    Thank you. Understood.

    Ha! ;-)

    Also, Redditors told me about caffeinate command in Terminal which works

    Unfortunately, caffeinate doesn't work anymore with modern versions of
    macOS.

    I'm using macOS Monterey 12.2.1 and have installed Amphetamine from the
    Apple App Store. It appears to do what I'd thought it should!

    I've even got a nice message from the developer! https://ibb.co/sJzLyYY

    My best advice is that you simply update to Monterey 12.2.1

    Works like a dream!

    It's a BIG change. Set it in motion just before you go to bed and it
    will be up and running once you awake!

    Is it still buggy?

    When was it "buggy"? During the beta, sure. Otherwise? No, it's been
    rock solid for tens of millions if not hundreds or millions of users.

    I'm currently on 12.3 beta, and it is also rock solid.

    Is it perfect? Of course not, nothing is. Does it crash, corrupt data,
    brick computers, or fail to work? No, it does not do any of these
    things.

    Maybe you should stop listening to idiot trolls?

    I see lots of bugs in public stable versions like in Big Sur, iOS v15, etc.

    Display sleep is OK, but I was talking about system's sleep. This one I don't want to sleep at all.

    Then you should be good to go.

    But https://i.imgur.com/1LmSzMK.png doesn't show an option to make

    macOS Big Sur doesn't have Energy Saver. I think it is called Battery.

    Because you CANNOT disable sleep when on battery, just like I already

    You can only disable sleep when the laptop is on power.

    By this flawed logic, you shouldn't use stable versions either.

    The mere existence of bugs does not equate to "something to be avoided

    wonder why not offer from Github too?

    That's explained on the same page under the "Why is a Separate App

    I saw that, but why doesn't original Amphetamine have a downloadable
    version from GitHub instead of App Store?

    Because the developer wants it to be available on the App Store. Is
    there an actual problem here, or are you just trying to manufacture one
    out of thin air?>

    Unfortunately, caffeinate doesn't work anymore with modern versions of
    macOS.

    Dang it! Why did Apple even include it then?

    *shrug* Who cares?

    Hello.

    How do I tell mac OS Big Sur v11.6.4 to never sleep when using
    in a 2020 Intel MBP? I only want to set this as a test since I'm
    trying to figure out why this MBP crashes when waking up after
    sleeping once in a while. So far on power AC connection, it
    never crashes with sleep disabled. macOS Big Sur v11.6.(3&4)
    doesn't have an option to do that. I only can disable its power
    nap and display sleep.

    Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

    There should be an option in System Preferences > Energy Saver
    called "Prevent your Mac from automatically sleeping when the
    display is off". Enabling that option will cause the computer to
    stay awake even when the display sleeps.

    Display sleep is OK, but I was talking about system's sleep. This
    one I don't want to sleep at all.

    Then you should be good to go.

    But https://i.imgur.com/1LmSzMK.png doesn't show an option to make
    system not sleep.

    Because, as Lewis already told you, you cannot disable sleep when
    battery power, since battery power is naturally limited. Do you not
    understand that battery power is not limitless?

    I started up a vim session and then got the PID of it. Then I did

    caffeinate -w <PID>

    I left the laptop alone for 20m (double the 10m setting) and when I came
    back it had not gone to sleep.

    Enabling that option will cause the computer to stay awake even when the

    If you want the display to never sleep, set the "Turn display off after"
    setting to "Never". If you do that, it's probably best to make sure you
    have a screen saver enabled too.

    Otherwise, as the saying goes, "There's an app for that". I've used >> >> > Amphetamine for years to prevent sleep when certain apps or processes >> >> > are running, and it's a nice tool to have handy for such a thing:

    <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amphetamine/id937984704?mt=12>

    Interesting. I'd not happened across this before.

    Do you also recommend THIS facility?

    I ran caffeinate (without any parameters) in Terminal as shown in its man: "DESCRIPTION
    caffeinate creates assertions to alter system sleep behavior. If no
    assertion flags are specified, caffeinate creates an assertion to prevent
    idle sleep..."

    Basically, I don't want MBP to sleep.

    Yes, you have an irrational aversion to "new" things people have used
    for years, like App Stores, iCloud, and so on - even at your own
    expense. The world is changing, Dino Ant. Keep up or go back into the
    ground. The world will continue to spin either way. ; )
