I have a brand new iMac that goes to sleep too quickly requiring me to continuously log back in. I have used suggestions from older mac users. In any case it I go to Systems Settings (no longer "Preferences) and go to Energy Saver I do not get an option to set shut down time. It is annoying to have to log back in after only 3-4 minutes of inactivity. Can you help?
iMac 24″, macOS 13.2
Go to the System/Lock Screen settings pane and set the time after the screen saver begins to require a password.
That's also the settings pane where you set the Screen Saver timing and turning off the screen timing.
Thank you for that tip. It worked. Can you tell me how to prevent pop-ups as iMac starts. Usually last use of excel, text message, etc pop up automatically. Just need the computer to start up with a clear screen.
