Bev, I tried following your excellent directionsBUT, it will not allow me to type in any short cut
On the other hand, the instructions worked perfectly for me. Mac Studio M1 Max; macOS 15.2β

But, doesn’t your new computer HAVE that unmarked “Touch ID” key at the top right? Just train that and you should have access without manually typing a password.

sleep. It was more than had been suggested up to that point. I
thought since it the new iMac had a M4 chip, it was a 2024 model,
with macOS 15, so no optical drive and therefore no eject key.?
I’m surprised the OP could use a keyboard shortcut
to put heralded ?Mac to sleep. It hasn’t been available from
System 7 to Catalina, that I can tell, unless it was done
somehow with a third party app or something like Hot Corners,

The Touch ID button on MacBook keyboards
can be used to power down (not a forced and
precipitous restart that doesn’t close files, just
an organized shutdown that DOES close files if you
press and hold the Touch ID for several seconds. It
can also bring up accessibility choices if you tap
it rapidly 3 times, but I DON’T think it can be used
to sleep the machine or log out the active user. Of
course, it’s primary purpose is to log IN to the
current account when the Mac is sleeping.

I guess we live in different worlds. Almost every day there are packages at my door, delivered by FedEx or UPS, and, occasionally, by DHL. But you’re right, there were SO many red flags in that SMS.
I’m still at least 500 miles from the nearest Apple Retail Store. I bought my spouse her first “Apple Silicon” laptop early this week, late in the afternoon. Relatively early the very next day we were unpacking it. Even were I still living with a half dozen Apple Retail stores within 25 miles, doorstep delivery makes sense for so many people.
What I learned from this thread that I didn’t know before is that the source of an incoming or outgoing message is NOT defined by it having a recognized and legitimate domain name buried within it (in this instance, <USPS.com>, so long as that was “overruled” by what followed a trailing “dash” character.

One, full custom clothing can easily take 13 weeks, domestically.?
Two, they don’t know anything about you or what you may have ordered. It is another case of throw it against the wall and see what sticks. You made the match, not them. The odds are good that if a con artist sends our spam referring to a major bank, major online retailer, or delivery service, like USPS, even though you expect the delivery through another service, that they will fool a lot of people.?
When you get these emails, stop replying to them, period. If any of the >>specific and unique<<, ?information seems correct for >>you<<, do not click on any link or calls any phone number. Use a known good method to contact them to verify the issue.
I get these false delivery alerts all the time, but I place almost no orders that get delivered.?

My most expensive hobby is no longer keeping up to date with Apple ecosystem hardware. It’s become expanding and updating my Scottish Highlands wardrobe (even more expensive, and when you order something it doesn’t show up on your door step 24 hours (or even 24 days) later. For “bespoke” garments (made from measurements from fabric woven in Scotland), the waiting times are often 6-12 WEEKS, and sometimes MONTHS.
Yesterday I received an SMS allegedly from the USPS regarding an item supposedly being held at US customs because of an ambiguous Zip code. The message use of commas and punctuation was a bit odd, but I didn’t really get suspicious until it asked me to reply and fill in a “confirming” form that asked for a credit care number.
What fooled me, at first was the URL to which I was supposed to reply: <>, AND the fact that I was eagerly awaiting a shipment from Edinburgh, supposedly arriving today, being delivered by DHL. I don’t often get packages from DHL, but I don’t remember them using the USPS for “last mile” delivery
At first I wondered whether the postal service’s domains included a dot-com rather than dot-gov extension, but my “Informed Delivery” daily emails come from a address. What I didn’t know was whether -trackcpa could actually be a totally different domain address.
Fortunately, my suscpicions were raised enough to do a quick web search, where I learned that these attacks are rampant.
