Understanding the Different Sleep Modes of your Mac

Different computers and laptops have various energy-saving capacities. If you’ve already decorated your Apple with enough apps including Microsoft Office for Mac, the question of Mac’s intricate sleep modes has probably popped up in your head every now and again. The different sleep modes that Apple supports have been around for some 9 years or so now.

To help you understand these different modes, read on and see which of these functions suit you best on your needs.

First is the Sleep mode. This means the RAM is still up and running while your device is on sleep. You can “wake” your Mac up pretty quickly while it’s on this mode because nothing needs to be loaded up from your HDD. For desktop Apple computers, this is the default sleep mode. Sometimes this is referred to as hibernatemode 0.

Second is Hibernation. What happens in this mode is that the contents of your RAM are copied into your HDD before your gadget enters sleep. Waking up will take a lot longer because of the reloading time. This has been the default mode for portable Apple devices for about a decade now. Don’t be discouraged because of the slow recovery time. Writing the contents onto the HDD is actually a safeguard that you can count on.

Third is Safe Sleep. Essentially, the contents of the RAM are copied onto the hard disk but the RAM remains powered up while the Mac is sleeping. The waking up time happens very fast because the RAM still has the information that on it. This is also known as hibernate mode 3.

In the different modes of sleeping for the Mac, the process of copying data onto the hard disk is often a commonality while the random access memory remaining on and off may be a difference depending on the mode being chosen.

The most common occurrence when your Apple goes to sleep is most of the peripherals end up being disabled. These can include the USB Port, the Keyboard and the A-V input and output and the processor is put on low-power.

Of course, if you’ve been working on your Microsoft Office for Mac the whole day, you may want to put your computer to sleep every once in awhile to conserve energy. It pays to know the different intricacies so that you will know which mode is most suitable for your current needs. Have fun with your Office 2013 suite and don’t overwork yourself!

Microsoft for Mac, Who Knew It Was Possible?

For a long time, Apple and Microsoft was at odds with one another, not because their products were competing with each other, but because of their owners trying to show off who is the biggest guy in silicon valley. For a long time Apple created hardware like the Mac and because of its pioneering design and functions it became the standard for PC’s at that time. However the only thing Apple was not able to do is to create software as good as Microsoft’s publishing software Office.

When Microsoft launched its Office software, everybody was using it, and Mac users were left in the dark with sub standard software. For years Mac users have clamored for the two innovators to collaborate and create an Office version for the Mac. After years of back and forth the two companies finally agreed to create such software, Office for the Mac. Now it is one of the best selling and most used software for the Mac. Because of the familiar format of Office in the excellent hardware of Apple it is the best deal out there.

I am personally a Mac user and I have enjoyed the combination of this two products.  We all know that the majority of the world uses Office and being a Mac user it frustrates me that I cannot just plug and play the desktop publishing format of Apple to other computers. So once the product came out I was the first ones who stood in line to get one.

I was not disappointed, Microsoft even bent to Apples will to design the logo for MS so that it will conform to the rest of the design principle of Steve. This only shows how much these two companies can really do if they want to. Now I only order the software online at Software Speedy.
