Macs (laptops, at least) have 2 distinct sleep modes, called "sleep" and "hiberate". Unfortunately, I get the two of them confused.
In one mode the contents of RAM (all 6, or 10, or 32 GB) is written to the hard drive whenever the computer goes into the sleep mode, so it can be re-written to RAM on awakening.
In the other mode, no transcription to HD occurs.
I did NOT want to copy RAM to my HD, so I got SmartSleep, one of whose settings controls your sleep default.

Not stop a go-to-sleep command already given, no, but completely prevent a timed-criterion sleep from occurring.

Hmmm... I would be careful with that app. MacBooks hibernate when they are at risk of running out of battery power. They generally do not hibernate UNTIL they are low on battery power.
If you run out of power while in sleep mode, the data in RAM will be lost, the equivalent of crashing out. Presumably SmartSleep understands this, but...

I don't use screen save, because I thought it was the same as putting the computer to sleep.
Personally, for myself, I'd still use sleep over screen saver, because 90% of the time I'm not worried about a background application or download. And I want to minimize the power usage and use that time to cool the laptop down.
If I were worried about a background download, I would leave the window visible on the desktop.
But that is just how I would do things, and the OP is free to do his work flow how he wants.

I know it is hard to change habits.
Why put it to sleep at all, esp for short absences. If for security, you can set a hot corner to start a screensaver and set it to require your password to get out of the screen saver. That's what I do when leaving my computer.
I thought the esc key might work, but just tried it and it does not. FWIW, the esc key aborts a lot of things in various programs, a habit I have from long ago.

Thanks everybody for their input. I think that Bill B. nailed it with "habits are hard to change, why put it to sleep at all for short periods". (I paraphrase)
I was hoping that a key combination existed that I could simply press to keep it from sleeping at that moment.
Denver Dan - I'm not sure that I want my computer to awaken if a message via ethernet is received. I'm a little wary. But good suggestion.
Probably no harm is done if the computer sleeps for 10 seconds until it I wake it up again.

A Macbook running on battery (which mine almost never is) hibernates or merely sleeps, depending on default settings, when the battery runs down.
It will hibernate, if so set, when Energy Saver Preferences tells it to.

Perhaps you meant "shutting down". That's what happens normally when I shut down the computer.

If the only issue is interrupting downloads, then look at an app called Speed Download by Yazsoft.com, or a similar app.
I have not used it in years since moving to broadband. It segments all downloads and if a download gets interrupted, instead of starting at the beginning, it restarts at the beginning of the interrupted segment.

consider a DL manager? I last used one about 10 years ago.

I had multiple failures of a recent download of the latest OpenOffice.org productivity suite. The speed was abysmally slow, and the download connection simply ceased more than a dozen times.
I am on a fairly fast cable modem connection, with download speeds typically in the range of 22 - 25 Mbps.

You're right, with broadband, we don't often need download manager, that was just my first thought at what he was doing.
What are the speeds in Hawaii, where the OP is?

The OP is in Greece where my DL speed is 7.83 Mbps according to www.bandwidthplace.com.
I originally wanted to know if there was a way to stop MacOSX from going to sleep in the 5 seconds or so it takes the screen to go black after initiating the Sleep command.
I guess that there isn't. What I have learned is: if I don't want the computer to sleep, don't put it to sleep!
I appreciate everybody's help.

Re: thumbnails too small

Thu May 24, 2012 10:22 am (PDT)
Otto, I'm not the OP, but my take on this from the first post on, has been she is attaching a photo to an email, and in the navigation window to select the photo, all she is seeing are thumbnails. There is no way to enlarge them at that point. She has to identify the photo first outside of email, get the file name and use that to select the photo.
I'll even bet the photo has the original name from the camera, and nothing distinctive to make it stand out. But then again I could be wrong on both counts.

Thanks Otto,
Yes! there is a slider down there... darn, I've never noticed or used it before.
I'll try to make this as plain and simple as possible. (Its amazing we can communicate some of this stuff to each other at all) ;-)
Creating an email, I want to attach a photo. So I hit the words "ad attachment" on the Yahoo email window. The browser opens with places to choose up to 5 photos. I hit the first spot which opens to desk-top options where I have various named folders of photos to choose from. I open a folder but the photos in it are so small.....
I don't know how to enlarge those photos, in the folders. Maybe I have to do it at iPhoto first, before moving them into folders? What a hassle!

Bingo! you got it Brent.
I take way too many photos, I know; my beloved little animals in every possible cute position or activity possible. I can't think of names for all the photos and in the tiny thumbnails they often look alike. Dealing with photos is so time consuming and tedious! But I see there are threads on photos I need to read in the archives--maybe I'll even learn something about how to simplify things, I hope.;) K

Can you use Quicklook to view them prior to attaching? That would seem
to be the quickest way.

Kitty, you just need to know if it is image 159 or 163 and/or 452, that you want to attach. Leave the email, figure that out and then navigate to it when you attach it.

Brent,
Sorry but you lost me. Is that the image size or what? And how do I find 'that' out? K

I can't think of names for all the photos and in the tiny thumbnails they often look alike. Dealing with photos is so time consuming and tedious! But I see there are threads on photos I need to read in the archives--maybe I'll even learn something about how to simplify things, I hope.;) K

There is no way to enlarge them at that point. She has to identify the photo first outside of email, get the file name and use that to select the photo.

Ah, so this this nothing to do with iPhoto?
I assume you are using Yahoo webmail? I have a Yahoo mail account that I
don't use but I just tried creating a new message. When I 'Add
attachments', a Finder window opens. I select a folder containing photos
and they are listed as thumbnails, too small to see properly, as you say.
If I single-click one, I get a larger image which *is* large enough,
although I can only do this one at a time. I'm not seeing where the "up to
5" comes into it, though, so perhaps this is not how you are using Yahoo
mail?

There is a very interesting article in TidBITS about OpenDNS blocking

OpenDNS Blocks Flashback and Other Threats
by Glenn Fleishman
<http://tidbits.com/article/ >13006
I have a basic understanding of OpenDNS but a fairly poor understand of
the point of this article that using OpenDNS can block this recent
Flashback malware.
Hopefully a member here can read this article and provide some clear
comment on how this works.

Didn't I mention OpenDNS as a way to avoid the Flashback malware a
few weeks ago on this list?
If I missed posting about this on this list, I apologize.
The way that OpenDNS works is fairly simple. Almost all of the
malware for OS X has been either a Trojan Horse, or a drive-by
download. Both can only be contracted from a malicious, or just
infected, Web site. Instead of using your ISP's Web lookup, you use
OpenDNS. OpenDNS automatically blocks known malicious/infected Web
sites. So, if you are automatically kept from visiting dangerous Web
sites, you can't become infected by them.
The price that you pay for this service is that OpenDNS displays ads
when you try to visit a non-existent Web site. Not a bad deal!
http://www.opendns.com/
You "install" OpenDNS by simply putting these two number in your
Network System Preferences --> Built-in Ethernet --> DNS Servers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
