Question

Mac OSX Sierra no longer has "no sleep" setting, so Sonos can't play iTunes library

There is no longer a way to link Sonos to the iTunes library on my iMac. There is no way to set the computer to never sleep (just the display).

What to do? All of the music in my library in inaccessible.

    Just an observation: I'm running macOS Sierra on three different MacBooks, and the option to set 'Computer sleep' to 'Never' is present on all three. It's still under 'Energy Saver' in System Preferences.

    (I have no issues running the Sonos controller on the macs, but I don't serve any of my music library from them.)

    Are you having a problem or just trolling? It's understandable if you are having issues that it's frustrating but unless you describe your problem and pertinent details like hardware, Operating Systems and so on you won't get your problem resolved.

    pwt,

    If I recall correctly, it doesn't show while on battery power, only when plugged in (shoot, I could test that in 3 minutes, if I weren't so lazy.) And I did test. Using OS X 10.12.5, on a MacBook Air, and it shows up in both Battery and Powered configurations, while plugged in, and while on battery. I could swear that didn't used to be the case.

    Rosenbud,

    Thanks for the diagnostic, now we just wait for a Sonos rep to swing by and take a look. Best of luck!
