My automatic shutdown in Energy Saver in Preferences doesn't seem to work.
I have my screen saver set to come on in 15 minutes. I used to leave for work while downloading large files so I'd set my Display to go to sleep in 10 minutes so it wouldn't stay on all 8 hours while I was gone.
That worked fine.
Then I discovered I could tell the Mac to Shut Down at a specified time. I tried it twice. One time I disabled the Display Sleep and shut it to turn off at about a half hour from the current time. It didn't. I woke up hours later and all that had happened was the screen saver kicked in.
I tried it today with the Display Sleep left on and set to Turn Off a few hours in the future. Again, it didn't. However, the Display Sleep did work.
Both times when I checked to see what I had set the checkbox next to "Turn off" was UNchecked and the time was back to all zeros. But I KNOW I set it, saved it and even locked it for no other changes.
How come this feature doesn't work?
