Daily Trick 1. Shut Down
Some new Mac users, without knowing the existence of universal shortcut to directly shut down their Mac, would go for the menu bar, search for the apple logo, choose the option, and confirm from the prompted dialog box.
All of these hassles can be replaced with keystrokes:
Cmd-Opt-Ctrl-Eject.
The same applies for restart, only single keystrokes needed:
Cmd-Ctrl-Eject.
And to put the computer to sleep: Cmd-Opt-Eject.
Note. These shortcuts, except for restart, will take the action immediately without prompting dialog box asking for confirmation. Make sure you save all your works beforehand.

I was not really paying attention when reading this article & I assumed that the dialogue box saying "are you sure you want to shut down your comp now" would pop up I would press cancel just to check out how it worked, but that box doesn't appear & my comp just totally shut down in the middle of my work flow, WHOOPS!!!!!! cool shortcut by the way didn't know it! Looking foreword to more...

…or, without breaking your fingers, press the power button, then hit return. For sleep it's the S key, for restart the spacebar.

Alternatively, if you are terminal geek, you should know how to shut down your computer by using the command sudo shutdown -h now Cheers James

I'm still looking for the tweak that allowed me to shut down Leopard from the Apple menu WITHOUT dialog and WITHOUT holding down the option key. (Same as Shut Down by itself, without 3 dots.) That setting didn't transfer and I don't remember what it was. I must have done that before I started saving tips like that. If anybody knows what it is, please let me know! I keep forgetting the option key...

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.ihyrnN72jFNjshfr
