Mac Tips Daily! #64 - Energy Saving with the Scheduler

Submitted by jcost on Wed, 02/15/2006 - 00:00.

Mac OS X has some built in features to help you save energy. Not only does this help the environment, but it saves wear and tear on your mac & your wallet (electric bills!).

I sit down at my Mac at 7:30AM every morning. So, instead of leaving my mac on all night, I have it wake itself up before I even arrive at my desk. I have it shutdown at 9PM in the evening too (that's where the energy savings comes in).

Here is how to do it:
Finder-> Apple menu -> System Preferences.
system prefs

Next, choose 'Energy Saver'.
