I'm following the Optimisation Guide from Avid for my Pro Tools software.

On the Disable Sudden Motion Sensor section, I get these errors after entering sudo pmset -a sms 0 in Terminal for turning the Sudden Motion Sensor off:

  1. Warning: Idle sleep timings for "Battery Power: may not behave as expected. - Disk sleep should be non-zero whenever system sleep is non-zero.
  2. Warning: Idle sleep timings for "AC Power" may not behave as expected. Disk sleep should be non-zero whenever system sleep is non-zero.

I then typed: sudo pmset -g to verify it it had worked (as per the guide's instruction) and got this:

Battery Power       -1*
AC Power        -1
Currently in use:
 standbydelay         10800

 displaysleep         2
 acwake               0
 lidwake              1

I have no idea what any of this means (the errors or the table).

Being worried, I then re-enabled the Sudden Motion Sensor using: sudo pmset -a sms 1, however, I was met with the same two errors messages that I posted above when turning it off.

I'm a bit worried, have I messed something up and how do I correct these errors?

Note

The message sleep prevented by coreaudiod, com.apple.WebKit.WebContent, did not appear a 2nd time when repeating. No idea what this is either.

I worked it out, it was due to Turn display off after x settings. Setting it to Never fixed this.
