avoid my Macbook go to sleep, restart, go to login screen, etc.? I'll be playing a VST instrument from it and don't want to let me down in the middle of the set.
Thanks a lot.

Have a music gig tonight: how do I...
- Thread starter kikedeolivos
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
Go to System Preferences>Energy saver and drag the sliders all the way to the right for both Battery and Power Adapter.
That's it?
And what about the screensaver and Airport: should I disable those as well?
Thanks
This might sound stupid but dont have anything else running in the background and restart the computer before your gig and only run that VST program. Restarting get back all your RAM you used.
^^ It shouldn't generally be necessary as Mac OS X should swap out stuff as required. But as its important to do that can't hurt and is probably worthwhile.
Well, something is not working as it's supposed to.
I've setup everything per your instructions, opened iTunes Radio, choose a streams and, as usual, after maybe 30', the system restarted into to the log in screen. (haven't' touched anything during that period)...Any ideas?

make sure you disabled the right pref. On top it says battery/ power adapter and adjust accordingly
I don't have a solution, but I can tell you that something's wrong here. You're Mac is not suppose to restart to the login screen. It shouldn't ever do that regardless of your settings. Are you sure you're talking about the login screen or the dialog box to unlock your screen?
Agreed, or at least I've never heard of it restarting and going to the initial log in screen. Look over the screen shots again, they should give you everything you need to know.
Oh, and break a leg!
It's the screen where you can choose users: I have setup 2, one with a password (mine) and the other for a guest user. When this screen pops up, I can see a tick mark on mine.
Okay, I take back what I said about your Mac not auto logging out regardless of settings, it is possible. Try this. Go into System Preferences-Security, under the General tab make sure and uncheck (if it's IS checked) "Log Out After XX-minutes of inactivity".
Didn't see the last answer...sigh.
Just came back from the gig, and the Mac went to the unwanted screen. (at least, between songs) I had to log in, open Garageband, etc., etc. Thank God, the audience was patient.
