After updating my mac, I can no longer close the lid without it going into a sleep mode, that I can only wake by powering off.

Ever since I have updated my Macbook Pro to the newest version of OS, it will go into a sleep mode when I close the lid that I can only wake with powering off the entire computer. I used to be able to close the lid for the night, open it in the morning, and it would be like I never even left it overnight. Now I try to wake it up with pushing everything possibe. Is this new to the update? I even tried to set the settings to "never sleep". Help!

After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books. Also I can't edit and copy multiple text messages.

After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books. Also I can no longer edit a and copy multiple text messages like before. Is there a way to do these things I am missing?

Not only can i not see the individual chaptes -- apparently like you and everyone else suffering through the "improved" iOS7 -- when my audiobook repeats a "file" within chapter, which it sometimes does, I cannot get "inside" the chapter and move forward to where I'm supposed to be.

My (2008) macbook pro, running 10.5.8 runs for about 30 seconds and then goes into deep sleep mode. After significant difficulty awakening, it runs for 30 seconds and....start repeating here. It did this once before about a year ago.

.....and then goes into deep sleep mode. When it (finally) awakens....it runs for about 30 seconds and.....start repeating here.
And yes, I've shut dwn and restarted multiple times, rebooted in terminal mode and run fsck, rebooted and reset the parameter ram, yadda-yadda......
Anybdy got any ideas?

I bought the Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a Book for CS6 by accident and I have CC. I know, stupid mistake. But I can't take return the book. Is is similar enough to CC that I can still get use out of the book? Thank you so much

Each version of Adobe products builds upon the previous ones. Some things like filters and advanced features may evolve or become deprecated over time, but the basic tools have remained pretty much the same for decades. As long as you know there are subtle differences between versions, I think you will still get a great deal of value from C in a B for CS6.

How can I close the lid on my Mac Book Pro (late 09, 10.6.8) without it going into sleep mode?

I recently moved my room around and such, and now it's become more useful (I also purchased an HDMI adaptor which helps) to use my TV as a display, especially when I'm recording music, watching movies online, etc. Problem is, the HDMI cord I'm using is only 1.8 ft. so my computer has to sit in the middle of my desk, thus taking up the bottom portion of my TV screen when open.
I know there's an app out there that keeps the computer from going to sleep, but I don't like it because I forget it's on and Ill toss my computer in my backpack to go to the library, I get there and it's a million degrees....
If it matters for anything the setup is as follows:
13 inch MBP, 8 gb ram, 2.26ghz intel core 2 duo, Os X Version 10.6.8. Late 09 I believe.
I'm using the mini display port to HDMI adaptor (made by apple, not a knockoff if it matters).
When using my Tv I'm using a wireless mighty mouse (bluetooth) and the apple on screen keyboard.
Also, it's not at the top of my priorities, but eventually I'll probably have the computer set up next to the Tv, I've got the displays set up so that the Tv is on top of the computer display (I understand how to move them) but is there a way to make it so that when the lid is open, it acts as two, non-mirrored, displays, and when I close the lid it switches to one display (the Tv), and obviously, when no display is connected, it uses the internal display as it's sole display?
And lastly, is there a way to transmit sound through my Mini Display port to my TV? It's not the end of the world if not in 10.6, I saw something about how to do it in lion, but that's not enough of a reason for me to upgrade. I use a sound system so like I said, not the end of the world, just would be really nice, and I feel like after the money I've dumped into apple for this computer, it should do about anything I ask it to short of making me waffles in the morning (however, apple, if you release some sort of add on to do this, I'll be at the midnight release wearing a shirt that says"waffle enthusiast".)

You can't but you can wake it up immediately after.

How can I select shutdown & close the display w/o going into sleep mode?

I have learned to wait untill the MBP full shuts down before closing the display. In the past I have pressed shutdown closed the display only to find out later the MBP goes into sleep mode before fully shuting down. When I reopen the display the computer finishes the shutdown process or worse the battery is dead.
I would like to select shut down, close the display and walk away while the computer completes the shutdown process.
Is there any setup options or apps. that will allow this?
Thanks, Joe

Well hello there, and welcome to Macintosh.
Unfortunately you can't change anything to stop this from happening. The shutdwn process goes about its business killing processes and applications that have been running. The sleep process interrupts ALL business going on in the OS, and puts the machine into low power mode, as it is not aware of the nature of the running processes (in this case, the shutdown process), knowing only that they must be slept and the machine dropped into sleep mode. You gotta wait it out before you close the lid.
I would suggest sending a message in OS X feedback requesting this as a feature!

Firefox process will not end once i close the application.,i have to manually end it,so that i can run the application again.

Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

On IOS 6 on iPhone, I can no longer find the setting to disable sync Photostream on data mode. Taking photos seem to be eating my data allowance very quickly. Any solutions?

Hello Apple Community,
Not sure if I'm not looking hard enough but I couldn't seem to find the settings anymore to disable photostream syncing when my iPhone is not on wifi. It used to be a pretty obvious setting on IOS 5 but seems to be missing on IOS 6.
The conundrum is, data is being used whenever I take photos now. Since taking photos for me happens mostly outdoors, I will always be on data which is on a monthly allowance with my provider. I hope this is just a case of me being blind. Please let me know the solution.
Thanks for your time.

I'm having the same problem! Shared photostream are using a lot of data on 3G.. Won't stop synching unless I disable cellular data altogether. Is there any other way to stop photostream from synching over 3G and limit it to WIFI only?

I bought a MacBook yesterday and can't find where the a/c cord goes into it

Two different type of power cords came with my MacBook
I see the connection for the what appears to be the battery charger; yet, If I want to run off a/c
I assume apple gave me this other a/c power cord to plug in somewhere to the MacBook it has a grounded end to plug into the electrical socket in the wall; yet, I can't determine, as yet, or by looking at the little instruction book that came with it, where to plug it into the MacBook?

Glad it helped. Thanks for the s!

How can I make my macbook pro go to sleep when I close the lid? Currently it doesn't sleep when on battery.

How do I make my macbook pro go to sleep when I close the lid?

For this and other power related issues the best first step to try is resetting the System Management Controller.

With FF 23.0.1, I can no longer replace the standard Firefox icon in Snow Leopard to match the rest of my icon scheme -- why not?

Hi. I use a custom icon scheme in Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my Mac Pro. Normally, when Firefox updates itself, its icon is reset to the default. I then change it back to my custom icon by the normal method: go to Get Info, unlock the access settings, paste the custom icon over the highlighted default icon in the top left corner of the Get Info box, reset the access and lock it, and then close the Get Info box. After that, the custom icon reappears the first time I launch Firefox.
I can no longer change the icon by this method, so I'm assuming that it's something in FF 23.0.1 that's been changed to prevent the icon swap, especially as the regular method is working with all my other applications. I'm fussy about appearance/presentation stuff like this, so I'll keep messing around to see if I can find another method of changing the icon. If I can't modify the stock icon, I guess it will back to Chrome. I'd REALLY rather not have to switch, so if there's a simple fix I'm missing, I'd love to know about it.

This add-on will restore the keyword.URL preference which was removed in Firefox 23. <br />
