A "sleep your display" app for Lion?

I'm looking for a one click solution to turning off my external monitor from bed. I keep a mouse at my nightstand to control what I'm watching before bed. I'm aware of the option+shift+eject method but preferably I'd like something that doesn't require need for a keyboard. I found an app called "sleep display" which seems to be exactly what I'm looking for only it doesn't seem to work for Lion. Any other options that doesn't involve going to my system preferences to turn on a black screensaver every night?

Very nifty. Never knew about that, thank you.

How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5 on a mac running Snow Leopard 6.8 i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0?

I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard fine on my MacPro1,1, Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 2.66 GHz Mac, but I need to install Lion 10.7.0 to run a program I need.How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5, because I get this message when I try to install 10.7.5, which I've downloaded:"This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7." on a mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, So i need to install the original 10.7.0 over the 10.6.8 i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0? The original Lion 10.7. is not avaialable for purchase from the App store or anywhere, even C-Net . Where can I find it to purchase?
Also it seems I cannot install Mountain Lion over 10.6.8 as advertised. When I go to purchase I get this message: "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer." I think my computer can handle it (specs above) Are there any workarounds to this?

If you're getting a "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7" message, than you have the updater and not the full installer. Go to your Purchases section of the Mac App Store and you should see the full version there. But it may be 10.7.5, though in my system is shows as being from 2011 which would appear to be the original version.
As to Mountain Lion, that's supported only on the Early 2008 Mac Pro or newer.
Regards.

Air Display app for Mac Air???

Will Air Display app for Mac enable me to use my Mac Air display on a larger, Windows monitor? Thanks.

Yes, but not the Mac app, the Windows app. Just buy the Windows version of the Air Display app from the Avatron web site: http://getairdisplay.com, and download the free Air Display video drivers for your Mac.
You can try the Windows app for free for up to an hour of connection before deciding whether or not to buy.
Cheers,

Is it possible to view your current history for a single tab in safari lion

Is it possible to view your current history for a single tab in safari lion?

Not once the tab has been closed. If it hasn't, clicking and holding the Back button will display the titles of recently visited sites in that tab.

What's the best App for cleaning/speeding up Mac using Lion?

Can anyone recommend an App for cleaning/speeding up my iMac and Macbook Pro, both of which use Lion?
Hard drive space is not really the issue, but I can't help feeling that my iMac is not as nippy as it used to be - my basic requirements are:
1) Easy to use. I'm a competent user, but no guru.
2) Will confirm details of what is is deleting, cleaning before it does it.
3) Is reliable and won't crash or bugger-up my system.
4) Actually works - as I said, don't really need to reclaim storage, but would like to speed up my mac
5) Doesn't cost the earth.
You thoughts would be much appreciated.
Cheers all,
Simon.

Do the below and keep your boot drive below 50% filled and not more that 80%, that's about all you can do without a full reinstall of the OS.
12: OnyX cache cleaning
Category: OS X, application and User account software related
Description: Gives OS X, application and user account caches a enema, lets then rebuild again new, resolves strange and unknown issues based on cache files being corrupted .
Only cache files are removed, not users data, files, programs or OS X. Some settings will be set back to normal in Finder and other locations. Spotlight will rebuild a new database.
Problems possibly resolved: Varied: Flash install issues, Dock/Finder/File issues, "ghost files", performance and privacy related
Instructions:
Apple doesn't supply a easy method for the user to self clean the caches, thus we have to turn to third party software.
Use the free OnyX matching your OS X version and run all the initial checks, stop if any give a warning, you have a bigger problem. See #4
Run though all the Maintenance and Cleaning aspects (except don't delete the log files) and reboot at the end (must)
You must be through running all the maintenance and cleaning aspects as this is a "catch all" method and any number of corrupted caches may be responsible for your issues. You need to REBOOT at the end of using OnyX. Canceling the in-between reboot requests is fine.
Read Step #13 and perform the Verify > Preferences before rebooting at the end of using OnyX.
Get the free OnyX here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnyX
Just a few of OnyX many successes:

I recently purchased, from the APP store, Lion for use on my MacBook Pro. I wish to upgrade my IMac to Lion also. Do I need to make a 2nd purchase or will the single purchase suffice? If the single purchase will suffice, how do I facilitate ?

I recently purchased, from the APP store, Lion for use on my MacBook Pro. To upgrade my IMac to Lion, need I make an additional purchase? If not, how do I facilitate the IMac upgrade?

No, you do not need to re purchase Lion. You can re download Lion on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.

Where is the install package stored from the app store for Lion?

This is an all new way of deploying OS updates from Apple. From what I can see, this presents some issues:
1. Where is the install package that I bought from the app store, and how can I save that offline?
2. If there's a problem with my device in the future, I have no media of Lion to restart from- so what's the procedure to restore from a TM backup? Go back to 10.6, and then to the 10.7 update?
3. What if I want to boot from disc or a drive? I don't have a copy of the install to make a bootable image.
Thanks for the help

OK, once you install Lion the Installation Package gets deleted. However once you have installed Lion, do following:
- Open the AppStore Application
- With pressed Option (on German Keyboard ALT) Key klick on the "Purchased" Tab!
- You will now see that the prviously greyed out "Install" key for Lion becomes active
- Download the install package
- Do not start installation
- In order to create a bootable DVD or USB drive containing the installer follow instructions posted on
http://www.macworld.com/article/161069/2011/07/make_a_bootable_lion_installer.ht ml
This is how you can create installation media.
For maintenance options (means your Lion installation has some problems but your drive is still OK)
you can boot from the hidden recovery partitions that was created when you installed Lion.
To do so, press the Option (ALT) Key while booting. You will have now the option to boot from
Lion or recovery partition.
Hope this helps!

Could the Change Resolution App for Retina mess up Display?

This is a dumb question and I believe I already know the answer but I downloaded the Change Resolution App just to test out the 2880 setting. After doing so, I closed it out and then went to the settings on my laptop and chose best retina aka 1440. It seems like the retina display does not look as good as when I first took it out the box so I just wanted to make sure that by downloading this app and messing with it a few times, it didnt affect the way Apple sends you the laptop. Like I said, I went back and set it to the default setting but something didnt seem the same. I didnt know if Apple did something special to make it look so well but when you messed with the setting through an app it now has removed what they did and it doesnt go back to the way it originally was even when you go through the Apple settings and change it back to Best Retina display. Like I said, I know its probably a dumb discussion but I am not the most advanced when it comes to computer talk. I also read something about the way the display works through the 1440 setting allows 4x the pixels or something like that. I appreciate your help even for a noob question like mine.

Anyone know the answer?

How do I get the download for Lion OS on my iMac if I don't have the App Store app?

I stopped by the Apple Store and they told me that they can't sell me Lion OS in the store. Since I have an older iMac with out the App store App, they said that I need to contact Apple Support. But do I have to do that via phone or can I somehow email them?

What you need is to get (buy and install) Mac OS Snow Leopard first; that includes the app store. After you install and update it, then you can launch the app store and buy/download/install Lion. Now, how old is your machine? Here are the requirements for Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949
You will also need a minimum 2 GB RAM, but you really should have a minimum of 4 GB to get good performance.

If I have lion installed on one computer, how do I transfer it to another without having to download it? My net is to slow to redownload it. I searched for lion os x.app in finder and couldn't find it.

If I have lion installed on one computer, how do I transfer it to another without having to download it? My net is to slow to redownload it. I searched for lion os x.app in finder and couldn't find it.

Downloading Lion from the Mac App Store didn't put the Lion OS on your computer. It put an application package called Install Mac OS X Lion on your computer; specifically, in your Applications folder.
If you install from the Install Mac OS X Lion application package inside your Applications folder, the application package (the installer) will be deleted once the installation is complete. You must copy the installer to another location or to another drive/media before you run it to upgrade to Lion - if you didn't do that, then you have to download it again.
If you did copy the installer, then you can just copy it over to any other Mac you own which meets Lion's minimum system requirements and run it again to upgrade those other Macs to Lion.

When you register your credit card for the first time in Mac App store, Does Apple put through a 1 dollar charge to verify the card ?

When you register your credit card for the first time in Mac App store, Does Apple put through a 1 dollar charge to verify the card ? Please I need this answer so as to download the latest Mountain Lion upgrade. Thnx in advance.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Many folks have reported that this is true. However, the charge is not taken to the second step of completing the charge and the $1 revolves back to your account.

Is there a autosave app for snow leopard kinda like the autosave for lion?

Is there a autosave app for snow leopard kinda like the autosave for lion? Since I do alot of illustrator and photoshop design I would love to have this feature.

None that I've seen. It would do no good to upgrade your OS to Lion either since Adobe has opted to ignore Apple's Autosave/Versions function. Even in the CS6 apps. In order for any app to work with Autosave/Version in Lion, it has to be written to use those functions. It isn't just "there" all the time for all apps.

Building an AppCloud App for use within your organization only.

I am re-posting this from, Register your App because, it was a good point this should have been a separate discussion.

I am trying to get more details on how to Build/Register "Private" AppCloud Apps and confirm at design time that we can deploy our in-house AppCloud Apps on several of our Eloqua instances without publishing them.
My assumption is that one would setup the App under the Provider section for each of the Eloqua instances so that each Eloqua Instance can see and install our our in-house private app and use it without publishing. I worry about this method because it give the impression the AppCloud App is in development or testing.
Or
I was hoping there was some way to officially register our app so we are using a production workflow but our app is not published or listed anywhere?
T.J. Fields Jul 14, 2014 6:06 PM (in response to Scott Kent)
Hi Scott,
The best practice here would be for you to:
1. Register as a Provider in a development instance of Eloqua.
2. Build out your app and Register it, along with your Service(s) under that Provider.
3. Whitelist any Eloqua client installs that you wish to allow to use your App. Do this by clicking the Publish to Another Site button.
4. Give the App install URL (found at the bottom of the App Details page under Catalog) to any of those clients that you whitelisted to use your app.
This way, only those clients that you've specified will be able to install and use your App, and it's not listed anywhere. You could also click the Publish to App Cloud button, which simply whitelists every install. The App will never actually be listed anywhere, as there is not yet a mechanism in the framework to do this. The only way to find and install your App is by using that install URL, so you'd have to give it out.
If you are a client that is building an App for use within your organization, you could also use your company's Eloqua install to register your provider, but as a development partner, your developer instance is intended to be used to register and manage your services.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, scott.kent ! I'm sure many will benefit from your great post!
