Can I leave my display on for 4 hours?

I'm downloading something that takes 4 hours on the macbook, is it alright if I leave my macbook on but put the screen to sleep for 4 hours?

I don't see why not.
If your display is asleep, there's no risk of burn-in or anything. Otherwise that sounds fine.

  • Can I leave the display open for say all day while downloading torrent file

    Sometimes it takes all day to download a torrent file can i leave the display on or should i turn it off and will my macbook keep downloading the file thank you

    It's fine to leave it on but you can also just set the display to go to sleep and let your computer keep working. The settings are under *System Preferences* in *Energy Saver*. I usually have mine turn off after 15 minutes so it will rest while my download or other work continues.

  • MSS Calendar View - Details of employee's request displaying 0 for hours

    In MSS Calendar view when a manager views their calendar they can select the employee's time off request and the details will dispaly below.  The details consist of the type, date and hours of the request.  It appears that for some managers they are able to view this correct format.  But for other managers when they click to get the details there will be a table format that displays with multiple rows displaying the following:  Type of leave, From Date, To Date, Start, End, Absence Hours equals 0, Status displays as Informed, Used.  Has anyone else encounted this issue where some managers view the correct detail format and others are viewing a table format that doesn't give the details and 0 for hours?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the clarification on the text of the status.  It appears that the hours are being posted and deducted from the employee's quota.  After further testing yesterday we narrowed it down to either testing and implementing on a different platform or security.
    Thanks for your reponse and the thread is now closed.

  • Where can I find new display drivers for Satellite P100

    Hello,
    i need new display drivers for my Notebook (Satellite P100), but it's only Version 84.0 to download.
    I need version 162.0 or higher.
    On Nvidia Web-Site is the new 167.0 beta, but does it work with my system?

    The Toshiba graphic drivers on the Toshiba European driver page are not the same like the original graphic driver from the graphic card manufacturers.
    Therefore you cannot compare the driver version numbers!
    Generally the graphic driver which appears on the Toshiba page is the newest Toshiba driver.
    Best regards

  • Can I change the display timing for my wallpaper?

    Apologies if this has been asked and answered. I tried several searches and couldn't find anything.
    I teach project management, and during breaks, I have my desktop set to display pictures from my travels. I normally set it to "change picture: every 5 seconds." However, my students will generally ask for some commentary, and for many of the photos, 5 seconds is really too short.
    Is there any way for me to add another option to the choices in System Preferences for 7 seconds? Failing that, is there any way for me to change the 5 second timing to 7 seconds?

    This is a pictorial teardown of a rMBP. In Step 15, you can see the motherboard with the GPU chip firmly soldered to it. While the GPU is often called a graphics card, as is the ATI Radeon 5870 in my Mac Pro, it's a discrete graphics chip, as opposed to the graphics portion of the CPU which your rMBP also has.

  • Can the Macbook Air be used as a display monitor for Xbox 360 ???

    Hi Guys,
                Basically I was just wondering if the Macbook Air 11'' can be used a display monitor for the Xbox 360 due to me smashing my TV... Ooops.
    I tried with a thunderbolt to HDMI socket and then plugged that into my Xbox with no luck ! If it is possible in some way could you please explain what parts are need and how it would need to be set up.
    Many Thanks,
    Dan

    Yes, via Target Display Mode.

  • Gamers Macbook: Ok for the Macbook to stay on for hours?

    Hi, I have recently found a new obsession. A role playing game that I am addicted to over the holidays while I was off for a week. I leave my Macbook on for hours at a time sometime (over 12hrs, day after day). I know that this isn't a gamers laptop, and was wondering what was the worst that could happen from me doing this? TIA.

    Overheating and unexpected shutdown if there is improper ventilation around the machine, or if the machine's power manager is marginal. Backup your data frequently also, as shutdowns can both damage the directory, and lose data of work in progress.
    If you notice the machine getting excessively hot, put it on a surface that dissipates heat better such as metal. Just be sure it is properly grounded first, as to not exhibit electric shock when you touch it.

  • My 21" display on iMac (mid 2010) is overheating so much I can't sit at my computer for more than an hour or so.  Also, some shadowy shapes appear in the background on the upper left of the screen.

    My 21" display on iMac (mid 2010) is overheating so much I can't sit at my computer for more than an hour or so.  Very hot.  Also, some shadowy shapes appear in the background on the upper left of the screen. Any thoughts?

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • I wanna try a sleep hypnosis video on youtube which last eight hours, is it okay to leave it on video for that long? Or will the screen overheat?

    I wanna try a sleep hypnosis video on youtube which last eight hours, is it okay to leave it on video for that long? Or will the screen overheat?

    Intensive video games can cause some heating, but if it's just a video showing it shouldn't be a problem. An iPad 3 or iPad 4 is more likely to heat than the iPad 1 or iPad 2 due to the retina display.
    Do you have to view the display the whole 8 hours? You may want to lower the screen brightness.
    You will probably have to keep the iPad plugged into the wall charger.

  • Whenever i start my macbook pro the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it for hours.

    When i turn on my macbook a box appears telling me i need to restart my computer (in different languages) and in order to do so i have to press on the off button for a lil while. Even after doing this the same box appears and it never restarts correctly. This box appears every single time. I rarely turn my computer off. I just place it on sleep mode and restarts it only when i get prompted to. I brought it to genius and they couldnt figure out what the problem is so i was told it needed to be shipped to get fixed. I didnt have anything backed up. All i want saved are the pictures because i went to 2 events where i was the assigned photographer and i didnt get to save it to an external memory. Genius said that when shipped i cant give instructions like make sure to save the pictures and if they are unable to, call me if they should go on with the process. I was wishful thinking that to fix the problem they might not even have to touch the pictures memory part. I brought my MBP back home hoping it will miraculously starts and id be able to back it up but now all it does when i turn it on is the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it on for hours. Please help me fix this!!! cant i really specify to the technicians at apple  to please make sure not to erase the pictures? Is there no other way to turn on my mac? I only need it to work ones.

  • I have a MacBook and I am unable to successfully update Firefox. I click "Update Firefox" and it's starts updating but never completes the process. I sometimes leave it for hours and it's still updating! Please help!

    I have a MacBook and I am unable to successfully update Firefox. I click "Update Firefox" and it's starts updating but never completes the process. I sometimes leave it for hours and it's still updating! It's almost as if something is blocking it ffrom completing the process. Please help

    Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

  • Is there a way you can select a display option for Safari pages on the OS5?

    The tabbed version of Safari for the ipad2 is nice but the old one is better. Is there a way we can select a display option that lets a user toggle between the two?

    No, Safari on the iPad in iOS 5 uses tabbed browsing. You can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • 'iphoto will open as soon as the iphoto library is available. Time machine might be backing it up" - message been cycling for hours now. Can't access anything in photos

    Up till yesterday, our iphoto was working correctly. At one point, I noticed the slideshow wasn't displaying, so I opened iphoto and the message said there was a newer version, so I selected upgrade. The next message said the library needs rebuilding. Selected rebuild. Next,
    I got the message in the header, and it's been cycling for hours now with no result. I'm not computer friendly, so I could use some help.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I was wrong - the OS is 10.6.8. Is that old, too? I don't know where to find the version of iphoto I had and which one is trying to upgrade. Where would I find that. I restarted and still the same message.
    "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." selected upgrade:
    "iphoto is unable to open this library. The library has issues that require rebuilding. The iphoto library is missing required database files and must be rebuilt before it can be opened" selected rebuild:
    Next message is: "waiting for iphoto library...will open as soon as library is available. Time machine might be backing it up" and cycling.....
    During this time, the iphoto file is unavailable, all options greyed out.
    I have an external hard drive connected and time machine is on.
    Like I said, not literate with computers, so I hope I'm giving the right information
