DESCRIPTION
Lights Out is an application designed to give users more control over Apple's Energy Saver. It helps solve the problem of Energy Saver insomnia. Many software packages, scanners, and other peripherals interfere with the Mac's normal sleeping patterns. Lights Out offers a secondary idle timer to put your Mac to sleep even when Energy Saver fails to do so. The application also offers hot corners to instantly put your Mac to sleep, or keep your Mac awake. Lights Out offers the ability to customize Energy Saver settings for individual applications. This can be useful for long downloads, iTunes streams, cd or dvd playback, etc. Lights Out can even logout or shutdown your Macintosh after a specified idle period.

BANDIDO I've installed lights out there's a few month ago but I don't want to keep it any more. After erase it, application and any prefs, it continue to work. I want to erase it permanently. The question is "HOW ?" (v 2.3.2).

JEFF H. Lights Out is working on my G5 now, and was very shortly after my last comment. Works like a charm, as always. The only feature I would like to see is a "sleep" "force sleep" choice. In other words, a check box that enables the Mac to be put to sleep if idle entirely, but to remain awake if I have EyeTV open. If I forget to make it "inactive", it just goes to sleep...very annoying. Other than that...

JEFF H. Worked well on my G4, 10.3 (something)- 10.4 (something), but doesn't seem to work at all on my G5 (10.4.5). My G5 was sleeping and acting normally before 10.4.5, but now, with or without Lights Out, it won't sleep unless I make it sleep. No new USB, and what's plugged in (in a Belkin hub) I need on a daily. | |

Will software like this help with the "deep sleep" issues that installing 3rd parties USB 2.0 cards sometimes cause? | |

ANONYMOUS Anyone else having this program stalling? It just becomes completely unresponsive. I've tried trashing the prefs, but it actually seemed to make it worse.

ANONYMOUS Yup, it happens to me. No idea why or how to solve it. Seems a serious issue.

MKG This application just works. My G4 desktop would not reliably go to sleep and would sometimes run for hours on end with the disk spinning all the time due to....well, who knows? No amount of tinkering or operating system upgrading made any difference. No more. Now, with Lights Out running in the background, sleep is just a few minutes away. It never missess a beat.

ROB My Mac won't go to sleep automatically despite my Energy Saver settings. It's probably due to my USB-bus powered scanner that interferes... Thanks to this little app, the Mac goes fast asleep automatically again, and I don't have to worry about forgetting to put it to sleep.

MICHAEL the mac guy is right, pointless. I tried it, it does not even have the most basic features
