If your Mac doesn't wake up

Beyond making sure Aurora correctly set the wake time in your Mac's firmware, there are a few other things that you need to be aware of, especially when your Mac is a portable.

Steps to take:

Step 1

Make sure the alarm has the Wake Computer checkbox set.

Step 2

Make sure to enter an administrator's username and valid password when asked.

Step 3

Make sure the power cord is connected to your Mac and plugged in.

Step 4

If your Mac is a notebook, make sure to not close the lid.

Connecting the power and not closing the lid may not apply to your Mac. To check if your model supports closed lid or non-corded wake, try it out at least once before relying on an alarm.
