Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
-
Step 1
CONTROL + SHIFT + EJECT. That's it! These 3 buttons, press simultaneously (you can press them down 1 at a time, but they must all be down by the end of the command) will cause your "display" (not computer) to "sleep", which turns it off.
-
Step 2
Simply shake the mouse or press any button to turn the screen back on.
-
Step 3
If you want to set your iMac to actually "Sleep" (not just the screen), just activate it in the "Energy Saver" pane in the "preferences" area.
