How do I make my MBA never turn off/sleep?

[urbantea]

I'm testing the battery and I want to make it always stay on, no sleep, no nothing.

How do I do that?

Under ENERGY SAVER

I made my display never go to sleep.
I unchecked the box " put hard disk to sleep when possible"

What else can I do?

I left my computer on and woke up...and it looks like it went to sleep ...because when i moved the mouse around, it turned on the dislay and it had to reconnect to the internet....

You can also try a program called nosleep

This is one area Apple makes it so UN-intuitive.

With a Wintel machine, this is very easy, you select the drop down to never sleep and Wintel does exactly what you tell it to, I don't understand why Apple makes it so difficult.

Probably because for 99.9% of people, the way it normally works is the right way. Apple has a tendency to make things dead-simple for normal usage, and fairly challenging for things that are a bit out of the norm.
