How to view your text for mac. Now in some applications you can also make the text bigger in that specific program. Or, you can set an overall rule that the font is going to be larger. So we’re going to open up the Mail application and in here we’reviewing a message. Now you can make the text bigger the same way by using the command and the plus and then minus again to make it small.

Just wanted to chime in -- at the expense of signing up for a new email newsletter I have to now unsubscribe from (hey, don't laugh!) -- and express my deepest annoyance and utter disdain for this weird 'feature,' in hopes it helps the community get this feature removed in the default out-of-box configuration settings in future f.lux releases. (I mean, look at this thread's views!! 18k!!!) I looked through the settings for a good 30-40 seconds to disable them and had to Google. I had no idea you even called it a 'Backwards Alarm Clock' so I skimmed over the presumed-irrelevant setting multiple times.

I don't even know what it's trying to tell me. Something like 'you'll be waking up in 6 1/2 hours' or something? Okay, so you think I'm sleeping right now? If you think I'm asleep, why are you even bothering to show me desktop notifications?

Everytime I get any sort of notification, my screen wakes up to display the notification on the lock screen, and then goes back to sleep a second later. I would like to turn this off and it drains battery. I've noticed this happens to me when I receive an SMS, but nothing else.

If I'm asleep, would I not never even see them? And displayed at such annoyingly frequent intervals, at that.

I'm not asleep, by the way, so no, I won't be waking up when you say I'm going to. I assume by 'you're going to wake up' it means to say 'the program is gonna change the monitor's lighting back to normal.' Which.are very different things. At time of writing this topic has 20,000 views.

I'll let that sink in for a second. This may actually be the least-useful feature anyone has ever had the ill-conceived notion of designing in the long sad history of lousy software features. Its so comically useless that I would wager you can just delete it and absolutely nobody on earth will care, but lets err on the side of caution and just make it disabled by default. That way the vast majority of users wont be required to figure out what on earth a 'Backwards Alarm Clock' is, and the probably 3 sociopaths on earth who actually want to be reminded every 30 minutes when their bedtime is can keep using it.

Backstory: I just got a 2016 13' non TB MBP. I noticed that after sleeping for a day or two, there was some battery drain. I also have a 2014 rMBP which does not drain at all. I tested and it seemed to drain 5% over 24 hours while the 2014 did not.

After pulling my hair out trying to find a fix, I finally found one. Credit goes to Seny on the official Apple forums who figured it out. The issue seems to be that 2015 and 2016 MBPs are set to wake up during sleep for notifications. If I ran 'log show --style syslog fgrep 'Wake reason' I'd have wakes every 10-20 minutes. To see if you are affected, run 'ioreg -l grep IOPlatformFeatureDefaults' -- On my 2014 model TCPKeepAliveDuringSleep was set to No, but on my 2016 it was set to Yes. In order to change this, first you have to turn off SIP. Boot into recovery mode (CMR+R) then 'csrutil disable' (don't forget to enable again later).

Then in Finder menu Go to folder '/System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/X86PlatformPlugin.kext/Contents/Resources' Depending on which MBP you have, the file you have to edit is different. Run ' ioreg -l grep board-id' in terminal to figure out the correct file. Then right click on the file, get info, change permission for Everyone to read & write. Open with texteditor (I used Textwrangler) and look for these 4 entries and just completely delete them > TCPKeepAliveDuringSleep > > TCPKeepAliveExpirationTimeout > 43200 > NotificationWake > > DNDWhileDisplaySleeps Save and reboot.

Worked for me. Now I have very few wakes when sleeping and battery drain is much better. I'm reporting the bug to Apple. Please do the same so they fix it. Whatever changes you make will probably be overwritten by any updates so they'll need to fix it permanently Update: I no longer recommend using this fix. Something changed in 10.12.4.

After redoing the steps outlined, I saw that the drain was about the same as without the fix, but then for the next days saw that it actually was worse. One night my battery dropped 10% overnight, and pmset showed no wakes. I had to revert to a Time Machine backup because simply undoing the steps by changing the text does not revert this for whatever reason. So my suggestion is that if you are on 10.12.4 then do not follow this guide and learn to live with the slight drain that occurs. I'm not aware of any fix at the moment. Note this is with a 2016 MBP nTB so it may be different with 2015 or the regular MB. I have been trouble shooting battery issues on the 13' TB and 15' TB models.

I came to the same theory as you, that the laptops were waking while 'asleep' due to notifications from apps like imessages or facebook. Just wondering if in your notifications system settings -> do not disturb, you had the 'When the display is sleeping' radio button turned off? I enabled this setting so that the computer would not wake while the display is sleeping, and this significantly improved my battery life while the laptop was asleep.
