We have a mini hooked to our tv at home for the family entertainment and
such. The mini is set to never go to sleep and the wireless keyboard
usually goes a couple months between batteries. Probably would go much
longer but we give it the tired old batteries after they no longer
operate the kids toys, but seem to still have enough in them to run the
keyboard. So I don't think having the computer on has much effect on
battery life.

Having your Mac sleep shouldn't affect your keyboard. These keyboards
are meant to sleep on their own when not in use, regardless of the
Mac's state. Besides, the keyboard has to be ready to send a signal to
the Mac when you hit a key to wake up the Mac.

If I have the time set to 30 minutes and check both power nap and put
to sleep when possible, after 30 minutes will Mini automatically go
to the authentication pane and go to sleep? If I am doing something,
watching Netflix or something, will the computer completely turn off
at the point of 30 minutes. If so, how do I stop this. I want Mini to
save battery life by going to sleep when it is not in use, but I do
not want to go back to the authentication screen if reading or
watching something. Does any of this make sense? Thanks for the help.

Hi.
That is interesting as I adjusted my I Mac's sleeping schedule.
You need to go to System preferences which you can do with VO M when
in Finder to bring up the menus. Once you find Preferences after
using VO down arrow, Vo space and right with VO once.
Then interact with the table and type EN for energy savings and again
press VO. Then you can VO right to explore your settings in Energy
preferences.
Hope that helps.
Kawal.

Hello all again:
I want to change my Mini back to going to sleep when not in use to
save batteries on my bluetooth keyboard. I went to systems prefs and
saw settings for time, and put to sleep when possible. Am I in the
right place? What are the steps to change back so I will have to put
my password in each time the machine goes to sleep. I thought I did
not want Mini sleeping, but I think it will save my batteries. Is
this correct? Thanks for the help.
By the way, proud of myself, backed up and synced my iPhone in
iTunes last night. Even made an encrypted backup. We shall see if I
ever need it if I have done it correctly, but I followed
instruction, and everything seems just fine.
