Can i turn off my imac screen while airplay mirroring?

Wehn i use the key combination shift+ctrl+eject the picture on my apple tv freezes. Is there a other way to disable the imac screen? Thanks

Hi,
I did try to search for this question but could not find. Just got Apple TV 3rd Gen. I wanted to watch streamed sports via web and the Airplay works ok but when I try to knock off the iMac screen the TV screen also goes blank. I'm guessing I have to live with this and only iTunes content will allow me to knock off the computer screen?

    You can just turn your brightness down to 0.  Only thing I have figured out so far.

    Other than iMovie, GB always incorporates the audio files into the GB package. So just save or move the GB project to the external drive, and you're done - anything you import, edit or record will be saved to the external drive.

  • How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on 3GS

    How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on my new Iphone 3GS ?

    Go to Settings>Messages and choose "No" under "Show Preview" which will hide the text part of the SMS/text message but still will pop up on who its from and just says "text message" on it.
    Other than this there is not a complete way to disable the notification.

  • Can I turn off built in screen??

    I have a MacBook Pro 17", and I routinely connect it to an additional Apple 20" screen when at home.
    However, I have 1 program that does not like dual screens. In fact, it is a known problem with the program that it will not work correctly with more than 1 screen and it is listed as not something that is going to be corrected any time soon.
    Is there a way that I can turn off the internal screen of the MacBook Pro and have just the external running? I have looked, but I don't see anything about how to do that.
    I am also scheduled to do a demonstration of this program and would need to use a projector which will also make the program think it is dual screen, so I really need to know if I can turn off the built in screen of the MacBook Pro.
    Thanks!

    This is the iCal forum. Your question is likely to get a better response from the MacBook Pro forum.

  • How can I turn off the Pinch feature while in IE Browser yet continue to use the writing feature

    I found that I can use a stylus pen while in a browser with my HP TouchSmart 300.  It works flawlessly to write however when I rest my hand on the screen (to write)  it recognizes my hand as one point and the stylus pen as the other and the pinch feature makes my screen big or small.  If I could turn off the pinch feature yet leave the writing feature on, all would be perfect.  Can anyone help, please

    It's not possible, it doesn't use pressure on the screen to sense your stylus or hand, it uses the sensor array around the screen.

  • How can I turn off messages on iPad while students are at school

    Is there any great way to turn off messages on the ipad without shutting down the ports required to connect to Apple on the firewall? Kids will be kids but teachers are pressing administration for solution. If you shut off messages, I may be mistaken but you can't restrict the kid from turning it back on correct?

    If you own/control the iPads that run iOS 6, you can turn off Messages via Apple Configurator or an MDM solution and the students would, to the best of my knowledge, not be able to turn that back on without knowing the Restrictions passcode. For personally owned iPads, the only way to block Messages would be to block the ports at your router. Messages uses port 5222, so if you block that port, that should block the transmission of messages, though the students will still try. For more information on ports, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4245
    Of course if the student has a cell connection on a personally-owned device, there won't be any way you can block the sending of messages at all.

  • How can I turn off my TV when I airplay music?

    Hi all
    My ATV (3rd gen) is connected to an A/V receiver using HDMI. The A/V receiver outputs to the TV using HDMI as well. Playing video is perfect. But when it comes to playing music, the TV must be turned on. If I turn my TV off, the music will stop.
    Is there a way to airplay my music without turning on the TV?
    Thanks,
    vaion

    Just to update my findings. If your TV was on and then you AirPlay the music, the music will stop when you turn off the TV. However, if your TV was off and then you AirPlay the music, the music can be played without the TV on. Well, not sure this is useful to anyone.
    Cheers,

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
