When You’re Not Using the Computer
Your computer is set to go to sleep after a period of inactivity. Sleep is a state in which your
computer is on but uses very little power. To wake your computer from sleep, press any key.
You can also put the computer to sleep whenever you want, or set your computer so it never
goes to sleep. For more information on sleep, see “Putting the Computer to Sleep to Save
Energy” on page 63.
If you’re not going to use the computer for a few days, you should turn it off.
To turn off your computer, choose Shut Down from the Apple ( K ) menu.
Adjusting Your Display
To adjust the settings for your display, choose System Preferences from the Apple ( K ) menu
and click Displays.
For information about troubleshooting your display, see “Problems With Your Display” on
page 90. For information about maintaining your display, see “Maintaining Your Display” on
page 104. Additional information about using your display is available in Mac Help.
Important
Do not turn off the computer by turning off the switch on a power strip or by
pulling the computer’s power plug (unless you can’t turn off the computer any other way).
Your files or system software could be damaged if your computer is not shut down properly.
