TOPIC

    Pressing the power button on an Apple display with Apple Display Connector (ADC), will put the computer and display to sleep. It is not possible to turn off the display and leave the computer on.

DISCUSSION

    Symptom

    If the option "Pressing power button puts computer to sleep" is enabled in the Energy Saver control panel, touching the display's touch switch will put the computer and monitor to sleep.

    If the option "Pressing power button puts computer to sleep" is not enabled in the Energy Saver control panel, touching the display's touch switch will not put the computer and monitor to sleep.

    Products affected

    • Apple Studio Display LCD (ADC)
    • Apple Studio Display 17 (ADC)

    Solution

    It is not possible to turn off the display and leave the computer on. If you wish to reduce the energy use of the display, use the Energy Saver control panel to adjust the time before the display goes to sleep.

      1. Open the Energy Saver control panel.
      2. Click Sleep Setup.
      3. Click the checkbox to turn on "Separate timing for display sleep."
      4. Drag the slider to select the time for display sleep.
      5. Close the Energy Saver control panel.
