Hi Tim,
Thanks very much for this information. Score one for the M1. I will have to try
that sometime. Definitely a great step forward.
Best regards,

Hi,
This is indeed the case. I tested the procedure on an M1 MacBook Air.
• hold down the power button through the startup chime plus an additional 8
seconds or so.
• cmd-f5 to turn on VO.
• interact with the Startup Options window.
• interact with the Macintosh HD area.
• hold down the shift e
It’s my pleasure Tim. It’s great to see that it appears Apple has improved the
accessibility of the process significantly.

Hi,
Yes, I guess that it is possible. The M1 architecture is different than that
of the Intel and thus they may have improved that functionality. Thanks for
the heads-up, I’ll look into using VO in Safe mode on one of the M1’s here.

Hi Tim,
Is it possible that safe mode functions differently on M1 machines? I followed
the steps I found via Google search that involved booting to the startup /
recovery menu, selecting the normal startup drive and holding down the Shift
key to make the Continue button change to continue in sa
Hi,
Safe mode is not accessible to VO so I wouldn’t go there. The values are
definitely configurable in the regular GUI interface.

Can you outline the steps to boot up into safe mode and then change the sleep
values, please?
Thanks,

Hi Jonathan,
The sysadminctl commands are the replacement for the dscl commands related to
much of the user control. I believe that the dscl set is going to be
deprecated in a future release of the MacOS. I’ve used the sysadminctl to
remotely enable/disable the Guest account as well as manipu
The only way I was able to change the display sleep value in battery
preferences and get it to stick was to boot into safe mode and do it from
there. I’ve never had to do that before.

That was the first thing I checked. There is no lock on that preference pane.

I just discovered a keyboard command

which includes:
sysadminctl -screenLock -password

Hi,
There usually is not a lock in this pane, but maybe take a look down near the
bottom of this pane and see if there’s the lock to unlock in order to make
changes.

Thanks for the confirmation of the bug and advice on this. I’ve sent a report
via Feedback Assistant.
Just now when trying to follow your suggestions I’m finding the controls in the
battery preferences all to be dimmed out. A restart didn’t make a difference
either. Any other suggestions to try
Hi,
Yes, that is a bug. I believe that I’ve reported it, although multiple reports
is a good thing and often makes sure that things are addressed sooner. In the
meantime, I will usually use the physical trackpad to accomplish this.

• interact with it.

Alright. Did what you suggested. Now let’s see what happens.
I can still use the computer when the login screen pops up…. And, if I swipe on
the track pad, I can tap the Maggie furness button and make the edit box become
editable, but when I try and type in the password, nothing happens except
Hi Tim and Kate,
Kate, since you just started using this machine, is it possible that something
was done to it is preventing you from making the changes you wish to make?

Hi,
Well, that’s odd. That usually happens when an MDM, or some sort of Parental
Controls has limited your access. I wouldn’t think that that is the case here.
Oh well, how about we come from another direction. In System Preferences,
Desktop & Screen Saver, under the Screen Saver tab, make s
Yes, exactly.
Thanks for all your help!

Hi,
So, you went to system Preferences, Security & Privacy, pressed the Lock
button, entered your password, pressed the Advanced button and the checkbox for
logging out after so much time was dimmed? Is that where you went and what you
are saying is dimmed?

Hi,
If you mean that the Advanced button is dimmed, then you need to first click on
the Lock button, then enter your password to unlock the lock. Once it is
unlocked, the Advanced button should no longer be dimmed.

Hi,
In that same Security & Privacy window, unlock the lock, then press the
Advanced button. Check if it is set to logout after a certain amount of

Hi,
It sounds like you have the "Require password after sleep or screen saver

Hi Tim!
It’s happening about every 5 mins after logging in. If I am doing email it
doesn’t interrupt, but if I am listening to music, for example, it definitely
does interrupt. Totally annoying!
This is happening across all users on this laptop..
Thanks,

Hi,
How often is this happening? That is, every minute or so right after I get
logged in, or after about 5 minutes, 10 minutes, after I open the lid of the
laptop? Just a bit more detail to figure out the best way forward.

Hi,
I am having issues on my Mac..
Basically, the login window for the current user keeps popping up. This is
incredibly annoying! How can I stop this from happening?
Running Big Sur on a late 2013 MacBook Air.
