Disabling Automatic Display Sleep on MacBook Pro in macOS Ventura 13.0
If you've recently updated your MacBook Pro to macOS Ventura 13.0 and are having trouble finding the "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically" option in the display settings, you're not alone. This article will guide you through the process of disabling automatic display sleep on your MacBook Pro in macOS Ventura 13.0.
Where Has the Option Gone?
In previous versions of macOS, the "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically" option could be found in the Energy Saver section of System Preferences. However, in macOS Ventura 13.0, this option has been removed from the System Preferences app.
Alternative Ways to Disable Display Sleep
While the traditional option to disable display sleep has been removed, there are still a few ways to keep your MacBook Pro's display from going to sleep. Here are a few methods you can try:
Method 1: Use a Third-Party App
There are several third-party apps available that can prevent your MacBook Pro's display from going to sleep. One popular option is Caffeine, a free app that lives in your menu bar and allows you to keep your display awake with just a click.
Method 2: Use Terminal
If you're comfortable using the Terminal app, you can use a command to prevent your MacBook Pro's display from going to sleep. Here's how:
- Open the Terminal app (you can find it in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder).
- Type the following command and press Enter:
caffeinate -d
This command will keep your MacBook Pro's display awake until you manually stop it by pressing Control + C in the Terminal app.
Method 3: Use an Accessibility Feature
MacOS Ventura 13.0 includes an accessibility feature that can keep your MacBook Pro's display awake. Here's how:
- Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility.
- Click on Display in the left-hand menu.
- Check the box next to "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is closed".
Note that this feature will only keep your MacBook Pro's display awake when the lid is closed.
While the "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically" option has been removed from System Preferences in macOS Ventura 13.0, there are still a few ways to keep your MacBook Pro's display from going to sleep. You can use a third-party app like Caffeine, use the Terminal app to run the caffeinate command, or use an accessibility feature to prevent your MacBook Pro's display from going to sleep when the lid is closed.
