Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Just had a new IMac 24" destop installed and when I put it to sleep it needs a password to restart. Do some new desktops have this problem and is Apple trying to resolve it?
Current Pro Desktops
I saw the login screen - what you see when the computer is put to sleep. Since then a technician installing other equipment solved one problem and now the computer doesn't go to sleep while it's open for over a minute when I"m just looking at a text but not working on it. However, I was told that, unlike my old computer, it does require a password to log in again from sleep, unless I choose not to require a password to log in.
Many thanks
It's not a "problem". That's by design.
You can change that behavior in System Preferences.
Are you seeing the Lock screen?
Or are you seeing the startup login screen?
If the latter do you see a message when you log in that the Mac has restarted because of a problem?
Check the settings in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General.
Has anyone had a problem with a new I Mac desktop needing a login with password after putting to sleep to sleep
