Power Manager Not Running
If the System Preference is showing a Power Manager not running message, your Mac probably needs to be restarted.
- Restart your Mac.
The Power Manager not running message appears when Power Manager's daemon is not available. This may be because the daemon has stopped running or the System Preference is unable to talk to it.
