Can you turn the Monitor only off?

I sometimes leave my Mac on for a couple of weeks when I tar el for work since I access it from the road.
The monitor does go to sleep mode, but I was wondering if there is a way to have it simply stay off yet leave
the computer still working?

I have tried Ctrl + Shift + Eject and setting energy saver to 1 minute but as soon as I access the computer from the road the monitor turns on again.  I would like to have it stay off completely while I am on the road.  Is this even possible on my Mac?

  • Can i turn the Laptop screen off while connecting the TV?

    Dear All,
    I am connecting my Mac to TV 32'' via mini display port converted to HDMI.
    I am using it on MAC OS X 10.6.6, and on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 also.
    when i am connecting my TV, the 2 screens are on, Laptop screen and TV screen.
    Can i turn the Laptop screen off while connecting the TV?
    how to do this on both operating systems?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Boudy,

    The quick answer is, hook up the tv to the computer, close the lid, then wake the computer up by clicking the mouse while the lid is closed. Not sure if it'll work while running windows, but I'd bet it does if you have the mac drivers installed on the win os.

  • HT4993 How do you turn the weird sound off when sending a text using the iPhone 4S

    How do you turn the weird sound off when sending a text using the iPhone 4S?

    Go to Settings-Sounds-Text Tone and change to None.  You're referring to the sound when posting a message to someone else, correct?  The only issue is if you set to none, you will not hear the incoming either.

    If it doesn't respond check the Hold switch.
    If it still doesn't respond press Menu+Select for about 6 seconds to reset the device.

  • Can you turn the data off?

    Im planning on buying an iPhone. I dont want to get a data plan. Is there a way to make the iPhone only transfer data via wi-fi and not any of my cell phones networks?

    In Canada, Fido will let existing customers buy an iPhone without a data plan if you choose to pay for data as you use it (a pay as you go data option) as long as your existing voice plan is at least $20 a month. While the friendly Fido guy said this is acceptable, he did caution that the iPhone constantly uses data (EDGE/3G/WiFi...whatever is available) to do all sorts of things in the background including synchronizing the clock and using numerous apps. So basically he said while it's possible to get an iPhone without a data plan he would strongly not advise it as data usage costs would be ridiculously expensive.
    To my knowledge you can't shutoff cell phone data usage from the iPhone (besides turning off 3G or intl roaming) but would instead have to call Fido or Rogers and put a data block on your account. I'm not sure whether they would allow that on an iPhone plan though, but it never hurts to ask.

  • Can you turn the source monitor upside down?

    We shooting a lot in gimbals. In the upright mode you have the footage upside down. Our eyes and brain are going crazy. Is there any way to switch the footage in the source monitor from upside down to normal?

    Use the Master Clip feature (vertical flip and horizontal flip).

  • Can you turn the iPad mini into a "phone" ?

    Is it possible to turn the Ipad mini into a "phone" ?

    If you have Vonage for your home phone, you can get the free Vonage Extensions app that links to your home phone number.  It is a great app and it works on the iPad and will not incur any additional charges.  They also have options that work without a home account.  Another option is the Free Calls with magicJack app that lets you make free calls to telephones in the US and Canada.  If you just want a free over-the-top service to call or text people who use the same app, and you don't need to call landlines, I recommend Viber.  Of course, all these options only work when your iPad has an internet connection, but they are all free and worth trying out.

  • IMac connected to TV, can I turn the iMac screen off?

    Hi,
    I connected my Intel (white 20") iMac to my TV and I'm using the TV screen as the main screen with the menu bar and all that. But the iMac screen is always on, until you launch Front Row or Hulu..etc. then the iMac screen turns off. Is there a way to make the iMac screen to stay off permanently?
    Thanks
    Gene

    On the MacBook, you can wake it while the lid is closed, and the built-in display will not be used. You can then open the lid, and the built-in display should still stay off. At least, that's how it worked with my older PowerBook. So the MacBook design is capable of doing it without any additional software; Remote Buddy just takes a short cut, which is why it is kind of cool, like it does to change the "Main display" from one to the other, or "Toggle mirroring," without opening System Preferences Displays pane Arrangement tab.
    I was exactly where you specified in the Remote Buddy menu. The brightness control can adjust the brightness exactly like the built-in control, but even the lowest setting is not an OFF setting.

  • How do you turn the Palm Centro OFF?

    Ok, the manual states how to turn off the PHONE, but not the entire DEVICE.
    Does anyone know how to completely turn the unit OFF?
    Thanks

    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    This is somewhat related to the turning off question.  (Thanks for the answer to that one, by the way. ) 
    For some reason, the screen on my Centro won't stay off.  I'll hit the power button, and the screen will go blank, but I'll look at the phone a few minutes later, and the screen will turn on again.  I'd like to keep the screen and touchscreen off until I need it to save the battery.
    I'm using PowerMan to conserve power, if that has any bearing on this.  Thanks!

  • Can you turn the converter off?

    Is there a way to turn off the converter so it will stop turning my nef files into dgn files? I have a Nikon D610 and Lightroom 5.4
    Thank you!

    Not sure I fully understand the problem, but my guess is that you have somehow set the import dialog to convert your NEFs to DNG during import. If this is the case then simply switch it to 'Copy'.

  • How can you turn the screen off without access to the power button and without using auto-lock?

    We are using iPads that are locked down with Guided Access and secured within hard plastic mounts screwed down onto a countertop.  We can press the home button with a paperclip, but that's it.  We don't want to use auto-lock because there might be several hours where the terminals aren't used, but we don't want them to go to sleep during business hours, otherwise we'll have to grab a paper clip and turn them back on.  Also, if we set the auto-lock to several hours, then the iPads wouldn't be off for very long at night.  I want to turn them off when we close at night, but it's challenging to open the cases and lift the iPads out, so that's not a reasonable option.
    Any thoughts?

    Look for a new case.
    There is varying opinions where it is best to power down electronics overnight or leave them on all the time to lengthen the life of a device.
    I power down to save electricity at night.

  • Can you turn the screen totally upside down on iPhone?

    I would really like to be able to totally turn my iPhones screen upside down so that the home button is on the top and I can use it as normal or even lock it in that position. Is this feature already available? If so, how can I activate it. If not, then who would like Apple to issue an update. I really hate listening to music with the wire up the top of the phone stretching down because it's in the way and just breaks the wire sometimes as it is putting so much pressure on it.

    The screen will only rotate in some apps.  The homescreens will not rotate at all and some apps only rotate 90°, not 180°.
    If you don't see the Portrait Lock (circle with lock in it) in the upper right, your screen will rotate when applicable.
    If you do, double-click the home button, swipe to the right and press the far left icon to turn off the Portrait Lock

  • I am using BT Broadband home hub and want to use my time machine - Can I turn the wireless router off in TM?

    Hi,
    I have BT home hub which is now my main router in the house.  I also have Apple TV which works off the router and a network adapter around the house which is perfect for all my needs.  However, I also have a time machine but haven't used it for a while now as it's internal router overrides my current network which causes problems.
    Being that i'm not very 'technical' I was hoping someone could give me a  'guide for dummies' instruction on how to turn off the wireless signal inside my time capsule without messing up the BT router?
    Many thanks in advance
    Alex

    Thanks guys,
    Sorry, just to clarify, I need to connect the ethernet cable to my home hub and my TC first before i can do this?
    And once i've done this will my stuff be backed up via the cable or wireless?
    I know these are probably very stupid questions but like I said, i'm a div when it comes to this stuff!

  • How do you turn the camera light off

    Cannot get the camera light to turn off

        That's strange behavior for your iPhone, ddavis1727. Do you have a flashlight application installed on your phone? Have you tried turning your phone off and back on? What software version (Settings > General > About > Version) do you have on your phone?

  • Can you turn the power of a Mac Pro on using the wireless keyboard?

    I have my Mac Pro tower at the other end of a table and I want to remotely turn it on with the Wireless keyboard or Trackpad.
    I have it auto turning on in the Morning but would like to control it in case I shut down by accident from across the room.
    Thanks!

    The processors in the Mac Pro are socketed so they
    can be replaced as long as the replacement processor
    is compatible. You could for example get a 2 Ghz Mac
    Pro and later replace the Xeon processors with the
    3.0 Ghz processors.
    That's great news! Thank you so much for your help. Does that mean im limited at 3.0ghz? Is there away to tell what the motherboard can max out to? Lets say I upgrade in three years and i want to put in a 3.5 or whatever may be available then. As long as its the same type of chip do i have that option? Or is 3.0 the max for the current intel motherboard?
