Increasing Screen Time-out for Macs

THIS IS FOR MAC USERS ONLY

If your reimaged/new laptop is timing out too quickly which means you have to re-enter your computer password, I just put into Casper a package to allow you to change the timeout.

This policy will only run while at school. You will need to restart your computer first and then login.

Go to the Apple icon (upper left corner of your screen)

Click on System Preferences

Click on Energy Saver

If the lock at the bottom left of the window is locked, click on it. 

Enter your computer login password

Click Unlock.

In the bar slider labeled, "Turn display off after", you may move the slider to whatever timeout you would like. You have to do this for the Battery setting and the Power Adapter setting.

Please do not set it to Never as that will shorten the life of the display

Click on System Preferences and select Quit System Preferences.

If the above does not work, please open Self Service and run the software package in District Software called Energy Save Unlock.

Then try the above procedure again.
