Can I turn off my display while syncing?

I have an old laptop with usb 1.1 ports. Obviously syncing is extremely slow. If I want to load 12 GB worth of songs it can take hours. Does it harm or wear out the display or do I risk burning the image of the 'Sync in Progress' screen onto my display permanently if it takes eight hours to load that much data? Is there any way to turn off the display while syncing? Thanks

No, you cannot turn it off.

    You can either turn the brightness on the internal display all the way down, or close the display and use the MBP in clamshell mode (with an external keyboard/mouse):

  • How can I turn off the screen while keeping the mac awake?

    I am using teamviewer to remote connect to my office Imac from home. However, every time I connected, my imac screen will turn on and everyone else in the office can see what my imac is doing..
    Is there some method to turn off the screen while keeping the mac awake, so I can remote connect to it?
    PS: I am using OSX 10.7.3

    Energy Saver, you can keep the computer awake while the screen saver shuts the monitor off but I'm not sure that would do it for you.

  • Can't turn off 17 " Display without shutting down comp. Using 2 displays

    I'm running a new 23 inch Apple Display & a 17inch older Flat Panel Apple Display, I don't want to keep the 17in. on all the time, only want to use it to edit in Final Cut
    How can I turn off the 17inch Display independently? Apple Care couldn't help has anyone come up with a work around?
    Thanks

    go to control panel, click on power option or
    management whatever, then go to battery, and u
    should see the options.
    Thanks, but that was not working for some reason. Getting the new drivers fixed it.

  • Is it possible to turn off imac display while mirrored display plays video?

    I've set up a new 21.5" imac for my parents use in their living room and have connected their 52" lcd tv to the imac as a mirrored display.
    One issue that i can't find a solution to is to find a way to turn OFF the imac display when they're watching content on the lcd tv. If they want to watch a film from the imac out to the LCD TV, they want to dim the lights and watch it, but the imac display being on in the dark room is distracting.
    Is their any way (3rd party software??) to turn off the imac display while still being able to have the mirrored display running?

    You should actually NOT use mirroring, although it would work OK on the 21.5-inch iMac because the screen resolution is identical to 1080p HDTV.
    In System Preferences Displays pane Arrangement tab, turn mirroring OFF. This makes the HDTV screen extend the iMac's Desktop. In the diagram on that pane, it shows how the two screen arranged. The edge where they touch is where you can move your mouse cursor from one screen to the other. You can move the two screen around in the diagram, to match how the iMac and HDTV are located in the real world.
    In System Preferences Displays pane Display tab, there will be a window for each screen. The 21.5-inch iMac's screen should be set to 1920x1080. The HDTV's screen should be set to 1920x1080 also, if it is a "1080p" HDTV.
    To watch video content on the HDTV, first show the video playing in a window. Drag the window to the HDTV screen so that it is completely on that screen. Give the full screen command (usually Command-F). The video will play in full screen mode on the HDTV screen. In most video playing applications, such as DVD Player, QuickTime Player, iTunes, etc., the other screen (the iMac's screen in this case) will go black. It's not OFF, but it will display black.
    Note: Some video playing apps have a preference setting for which screen gets the full screen. When playing video content in a browser window (such as YouTube or Hulu), when you go to full screen mode by clicking the +full screen+ button, the other screen will not go black.
    As far as I know, there is no way to turn off the iMac display, even with mirroring turned OFF.

  • How can I turn off over the air sync settings on my Mac iPhone

    Hi,
    For some reason I am attempting to sync my iPhone with my laptop as usual but now in the iTunes app when I attach my iPhone and go to Info, it reads: Your contacts are being synced with your iPhone over the air from MobileMe. Over the air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone. So here is the thing, I have looked online and have found nothing at all to show me how to do this on my iPhone. I want to be able to add info on my iPhone and then connect it with my laptop and sync it immediately with my laptop and also to add info on my laptop and immediately sync it with my iPhone. Please help. Thanks

    On your iPhone go to Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select your MobileMe account. Turn off the items you don't want synced over the air.

  • How can I turn off apps that automatically sync?

    Whenever I try to move music from itunes to my ipad mini it says it is over memory.  I can see the music on the ipad but it is grey and will not play.  I have tried to delete apps (which are taking up most of my memory) I do not want but it keeps putting them back on.  I have turned off the 'sync automatically' button on the preferences and devices in itunes.  I have unclicked the 'will install' on the apps section on itunes.  I have synced repeatidly and whenever I click the sync button the things I have just clicked on suddenly become 'will install' again. 
    I only want to move some music across from itunes but it won't even let me do that. 
    PLEASE HELP I AM GOING CRAZY!!

    Yes i did that, but when i went back to my home screen all the applications that i've choose to not using data just automatically activate themselves.... ><

  • The Location bar shows me the TITLE tag info for a page in large font + the URL in small font. How can I turn off the display of the Title tag, I just want to see a list of URL's. Bad design to force it that way, I don't like it. I know what a URL is.

    '''YAHOO'''
    http://www.yahoo.com
    I don't need the YAHOO. I find it so completely annoying that you have forced me to look at TITLE tags when I am trying to find the URL I want. This ought to be a setting that I could control. Is there a hack into my registry, or something along those lines, so I can turn off this horrible design element.

    Mozilla hasn't changed anything like that in Firefox 3.6.x versions, which is getting security patches but not any further development of new or existing features. Plus, Mozilla doesn't install anything related to Yahoo, something else probably installed that.
    Please provide a screenshot of what you are talking about. <br />
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Adding+screenshots <br />
    There was a feature similar to what you are describing, that was in and out of the Firefox 4.0 betas last fall, but the 3.6 versions never had anything remotely like what your description has me visualizing.
    Ate you sure that one of your add-ons isn't doing that? <br />

  • How can I turn off time display in Calendar?

    The newest version of the Calendar app seems to always show the time of each event as a separate line at the top of the event listing. While this may be sometimes useful, it is mostly redundant (since the border of the event, in Day or Week view at least, indicates when it begins). On the other hand, if the information in the event is a bit longer (e.g., a location), this information gets pushed off the standard view. Is there any way to customize this behavior (i.e., to turn off the explicit showing of times)? Previous versions (pre-OS 10.9 "Mavericks") didn't have this "problem".

    Have you tried:

  • Can I turn off Time Display on my Motorola QIP 7232/2 at night without unplugging?

    I would like to be able to turn off the Time Display on my STB at night. Right now, I have to place a book in front of the display as it is in my bedroom and lights up the room. The QIP 7200 STB in another room goes totally blank when the TV and STB are shut off with the remote. Any help would be appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    There is a setting in the main menu to shut it off, something like Set Top Box Display, go into that and look for the option to turn it off.

  • How can I turn off data roaming while overseas?

    I will be traveling and I don't want to incur any (very expensive) data roaming charges. How do I disable that function on my iPhone? Also, is it true you have to call your service provider (like AT&T) to turn off texting?

    Just put your phone in Airplane mode. This turns off all iPhone radios, but you can go back into settings & turn both WiFi & Bluetooth back on. Data roaming should be off by default: Settings>General>Network...
