    Heart Rate monitoring

    I love my apple watch but the heart rate monitor is poor. Taking a reading every 10 mins is pretty pointless. I walk home look at my HR, it's 70. I run home (without using the activity app) look and it's 70. I sit down, eat my dinner, it's 140. I got a Fitbit Blaze. It records the HR every 5...

    Autosleep vs Sleep Watch vs Sleep Tracker

    Hi, I tested all three sleeping apps. There aren't that many reviews comparing them so I tried and reviewed them myself. https://honglong1976.wordpress.com/2017/04/18/autosleep-vs-sleep-watch-vs-sleep-tracker-mini-review/ Until Apple native supports sleep, we will have to use an app. The best...

    MacBook Pro suddenly hibernates for no reason

    I have a 15 inch mid-2012 MacBook Pro, and recently, after I changed the battery in February at a third-party store (because the computer was out of extended warranty, and the original battery was reaching its end of life), my laptop started to sporadically hibernate. There wasn't any magnetic...

    How do I tell my Mac when to go to sleep?

    I want to be able to tell the computer to: Turn the display off after 5 minutes of inactivity, and make the computer sleep after 2 hours of inactivity. Is that too much to ask for? Like we used to be able to in whatever OS X version still had this incredible generous feature. There used to...

    Bedtime reminder in the sleep cycle app?

    I like sleep cycle, but I cannot find a setting that reminds me to go to sleep at night like the ios bedtime feature has. I've searched all over the setting and cannot find it. Am I missing something?

    Mac Pro Waking From Sleep Randomly?

    Hey guys, I am curious if anyone else has this problem. I will just be sitting down on my phone and hear my fans spin up and sure enough the light on it goes from blinking to a steady on and my mouse lights up, as if it has come out of hibernation. I then go to turn on the TV it is hooked up to...

    Can't get MacBook Pro to wake for access

    I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro running El Capitan. I am trying to use Back To My Mac to connect to it remotely. It works 100% perfectly if it is already awake. However if it is asleep I cannot seem to connect. I have "Wake for network access" checked in the energy settings. I have my...

    MBP 15" late 2013 does not sleep on lid close

    Hi everyone, Does anyone know what part of the MBP is responsible for sensing lid being closed? I have a MBP 15" late 2013 which fell and its display broke. Display was replaced and the laptop is mostly flawless but does not sense lid being closed: both in macOS and in BootCamp it stays awake...

    Macbook Pro Hot, Blank Screen and Unresponsive

    I have had a problem of putting my Macbook Pro to sleep then coming back to it a couple hours later to find it hot with a black screen and totally unresponsive requiring a forced shutdown. Some outside advice led me to try disabling "Wake for network access" and this did seem to fix the problem...

    My MacBook Pro 2016 (or Touch ID) is acting weird

    When I leave my MacBook Pro 13" with Touch Bar sleep when the lid is still opened, this weird thing happens: when I click the power button (also Touch ID sensor), sometimes it unlocks the computer and gets right to the desktop, sometimes it doesn't work, gives me the lock screen with my account...

I received some suggestions that it...

    Mac Apps Crashing after sleep/closing lid

    Hi, I'm not sure really where to start in solving this... so any direction would be nice. I have a brand new MBP 2016 Retina 15" with touchbar, been working just great and love it. However, for some reason when I close the lid and it goes to sleep (i guess) when I open it back up, it seems to...

    Mac makes me tired, it won't sleep!

    Hi there, So I've been using my Macbook for years now, and I started to use my Macbook as a desktop more and more. So I decided to get a Mac Mini instead, it looks a bit cleaner on the desk, and it's works better as a desktop in my opinion. I was very happy with it at first, it's not the...

    USB devices stay on in sleep mode

    Hi everyone :) I bought a new Mac Mini yesterday and I tore it apart immediately to build in a SSD. It runs great and I love it so far! Now my idea was to keep the Mac mini in sleep mode while I am not using it. Unfortunately all the USB devices stay on when I put it into sleep. I have a...
