In that case, screen savers provide no advantage over the Mac automatically sleeping; they're essentially power-wasting but screen-saving decorations. A simple solution would be to set the timeout for screen saver activation to be the same as or longer than the timeout for the Mac going to sleep. In effect, the screen saver will never be activated because the Mac will fall to sleep simultaneously or first. Here's instructions: 1. Go to Apple menu. 2. Open System Preferences. 3. Open Energy Saver. 4. Select the Sleep tab. 5. Under "Put the computer to sleep when it is inactive for", slide the slider to (for example) "1 hr". 6. Press the Screen Saver button. 7. Under "Start screen saver", slide the slider to "1hr". 8. Close System Preferences. 9. That's it. You're done! (in theory...) -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
