How to setup auto shutdown of your Mac computers

If you often forget to shut down your Macintosh laptop, you can schedule

an automatic shut down that closes all applications on the laptop

and powers it off. The auto-shutdown mode can be set to occur every day;

on the weekends or during the week at a specific time based on the schedule

settings in your Energy Saver preferences. By automatically shutting down

your Macintosh computer when you are unable to manually do so,

you preserve the battery's health and prevent wasted electricity caused by

continuous use, according to Joe Hutsko, author of "Macs All-in-One For Dummies."

 

Instructions

1. Select "System Preferences" from the "Apple" menu, located at the top of

   your Macintosh's screen.

2. Click the "Power" or "Energy Saver" icon, and click the "Schedule" button

   in the lower-right corner of the window. Click the empty box beneath

   "Start up or wake" to add a check to the box. Click the arrow on the menu

   to the right of the checked box, and select "Shut Down." 

3. Click the middle drop-down menu, and select "Every Day," "Weekends" or

   "Weekdays" from the menu depending on your preference.

   Alternatively, select a specific day of the week from the menu.

4. Type the time you want to schedule the automatic shutdown,

   and enter "AM" or "PM" in the field. Click the OK button to save

   the automatic shutdown rules.
