Can I change the settings for sleep/wake when display is opened/closed?

Every time I try to close my display the clasp doesn't catch completely & the display pops open causing it to wake from sleep mode. I have to put something heavy on top of the display when it is closed to keep it closed. The clasp is broken & I was wondering if I could simply change the automatic setting of waking the computer when the lid is opened? Everytime I move it, it pops open & I don't want my battery depleted.

Hi, desire. To set PB so opening the display doesn't wake the computer:
Applications > Utilities > Terminal
Type or paste the following in the Terminal window:
sudo pmset lidwake 0
It will ask for your password. Type that in, hit return, and quit the Terminal.
To change it back so the system wakes when you open the lid, type:
sudo pmset lidwake 1

    I am sorry but this isn't something that you can set. The system has timeouts built into the code.

  • Can I change the settings for ALL songs in iTunes with 1 command?

    I'd like to set the volume for all songs to +100. Can I just select all songs and then change it to +100?

    Highlight all the songs in your library (ctrl+a, edit-->select all, etc.)
    Now right click one of the songs, making sure that all remain highlighted, and go to get info. Click Yes to the message that pops up. You should be able to adjust the volume in that window. Click OK when you are done. The volume should now be adjusted for all songs.

  • My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?

    My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?
    I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

    In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
    I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
    You'd need to add an account here:

  • HELP !!! can i change page-settings for a single page ??

    hi all,
    i´ve got a problem with my document settings:
    can i change the settings (especially the documentborders) for a single page, without changing the settings for the whole other document pages ?
    for example: page 1 --> border left 2cm , right 1cm
    page 2 --> border left 4cm , right 1cm
    PLEASE HELP ME !!!

    Hello mamamague
    All you need to do is select Insert->Section Break. A new page will be started. To adjust the margins you need to select the Layout Inspector (second icon on the top of the inspector) and adjust the margins in there. The Document Inspector still makes global changes and the layout ones are relative to them. It helps to turn Show Layout and Show Invisibles on so you can see what's happening to the document format as you play with these settings.
    Good luck!

  • How can I change the settings on my iPhone 5 so that I get new emails automatically? Without having to open the mail app.

    How can I change the settings on my iPhone 5 so that I get new emails automatically? Without having to open the mail app.
    Thanks!

    No, they will all follow the default setting. If you want them all to fetch, for example every 15 minutes, then set it to 15 minutes in Fetch. I only mentioned the other if you wanted to leave one for manual. I have an account on my phone that is a POP account that I get mail at home from. I let my home computer get this mail, but when I am out of town, I pick it up with the iPhone. That one is set to manual.

  • How can I change the settings in the Health App from Imperial to metric - eg to metres and kilos ?

    How can I change the settings in the Health App from Imperial to metric - eg to metres and kilos ?

    We may have to wait for an update.  Aside from changing the country, I'm not sucre this can be done.  There is no Health App in the System preferences and no  way to modify from within the app.  Weird.
    If you go to Language & Region under general settings and choose any other country, you will get Metric.  I have the opposite problem.  I live in a Metric country and want my health app to be in lbs and inches which is what I am used to.

  • How can I change the settings in Safari to list the open windows chronologically instead of alphabetically?

    How can I change the settings in Safari to list the open windows chronologically instead of alphabetically?  I keep a lot of open windows e.g., 25 windows and many tabs on each) and like to work between a few at a time.  The problem is that Safari reorganizes windows alphabetically.  Once I open a new window, it take a while to find the windows I'm looking for.  Chrome and Firefox list the open windows chronologically which I find much easier.  The newest windows are at the bottom of the list.

  • How can i change the settings of play/pause in Elements 13?

    Hello!
    How can i change the settings of play/pause in Elements 13? I definitely need cursor back to the "start play" point each time i hit stop (spacebar), like it works in Sony Vegas or in most of audio editing software. Can somebody help?
    Thanks!

    The following is a copy of the reply that I posted to your question earlier today in the Adobe Premiere Pro Forum
    invasion21
    You are in the Adobe Premiere Pro Forum. What is your program? Is that Premiere Elements 13? If so, you are in the wrong forum where
    Premiere Pro answers may not be appropriate for your Premiere Elements (any version) question.
    You are not going to find what you are looking for in Premiere Elements preference settings.
    You write
    I WANT it playhead jump back to start play position, when i hit spacebar for pause.
    You can maneuver yourself into that through Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization/Applications/ and its Help category which by
    default shows
    Go to Timeline/Clip Start, using Home
    and
    Play/Pause Toggle, using Space
    But, you may find it is best to leave well enough alone. Explore and experiment with changing the keyboard shortcuts for the commands and decide what works for you.

  • Sync message, "You have changed the settings for your iphone.  Would you like to apply these changes?" What does this mean?  I don't recall changing anything...

    Sync message, "You have changed the settings for your iphone.  Would you like to apply these changes?" What does this mean?  I don't recall changing anything...

    The main settings that are changed in these cases can be found in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    To ensure you don't lose any data you don't want taken off, ensure that each Summary, Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunes U, Books, & Photos have the settings you would prefer on the computer. 
    If anything gets changed on any of those pages, you will be prompted with that message.  If they look fine, especially after adding some media like songs or videos, then you can apply the changes without fear.

  • Constant "you have changed the settings for the iphone" in iTunes

    On my iPhone 4, I can sync my phone with no issues, and when the sync is done and I switch over to the iTunes store or my library, it always pops up with "You have changed the settings for the iphone "my iPhone". Would you like to apply these settings?"
    I can hit apply, go to something different, come back, do nothing but sync my phone again, and as soon as I switch back to something else, I get the message again...
    I didn't change anything, but it keeps saying I have?

    Wow...
    That is pretty bad...
    From what I've gathered. There has been an increasing number of issues ever since iTunes 9 and more problems with iOS4 for the non iPhone 4 users.
    It's such a shame because I used to actually comment on how iTunes worked seamlessly and so quickly. This actually feels as if I'm running a typical bloated windows software now. [And to my great surprise, an equal number of people using iTunes on MacOS have given the same kind of feedback. I originally thought it was restricted to just windows users.]

  • How can I change the language for the Quiz Results page?

    How can I change the language for the Quiz Results (labels on buttons and text labels)? Is this possible only manually each time, or are general settings possible?

    For Quiz Slides you've already added to your project file you will need to change the labels manually.  If you change your Quiz Settings and Master Slides that control the defaults and then add new Quiz Slides, THEN those slides will carry your new settings.

  • How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

    How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

    Moving the iOS device backup location
    Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
    If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
