Change display sleep settings depending on application?

I've got a small studio setup, where my macpro is connected to three monitors.
I use Traktor, and while it's open I'd like to overide the display sleep setting.
Once Traktor is closed, the sleep settings should revert to their orignal configurations.
I know how to achieve this manually - but to do this each time is frustrating (100% first world problem).
But I'm wondering if somebody has done this before? Is it even possible?
Thanks in advance,
H

I think it's not possible as far as I know.

Display sleep settings & Parallels

Its my observation that whenever am playing video on my iMac the display never goes to sleep, though the settings are set to to 10 mins. However, when am running any videos using Parallels on Windodows 7, the Mac display goes to sleep mode after 10 mins.
Any specific settings for Parallels or Mac to overcome this issue.

I think it's not possible as far as I know.

How do i change display sleep keyboard shortcut

I know that to sleep display i can use ctrl-shift-eject
this is fine but i would ideally like to change it to a simple bind. like like cmd-§ or some other two button bind. I've check the keyboard shortcut tab in system preferences and i either can't spot it or its not there. Im assuming its because its a default command. Anyone know if there's a way i can add a bind to sleep all displays or a way to edit this one?
Thanks in advance
Matt

Sleep settings change after reboot

Every time I reboot my Mac Mini it changes the sleep settings to 15 minutes. I change it back to "never" (I use my mini as a movie server for the house) but if I have to reboot the computer it changes back to 15 minutes. It also selects the "Put hard disks to sleep if possible" button. It also will occasionally just change the setting even when the computer as not been rebooted. But it does this every time it is rebooted.

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. Restart again to test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

Macbook display sleeps a little TOO hard

Okay, So I have a black macbook with the 160g HD and 1gig ram running leapord and I made the mistake of installing InsomniaX so I could try to use my macbook as an iPod while I walked home from class from inside my backpack. It didn't work so I deleted InsomniaX but now when I close my mac book, something strange happens.
The computer Goes to sleep, but it doesn't simply sleep, it goes into this intense hibernation. WHen I open the lid, its as if the computer is off, and you can't simply hit the keys to wake it up. You have to press the Power button. When you do that, the computer starts to life, and the screen returns to what you were last doing, only there is a grey wash over it and there is a loading bar that loads the computer back up. Once the bar is done loading, you can resume your stuff.
Thats never happened before I deleted InsomniaX, and I really didn't want that program on my laptop. I've reset, and fiddled with the display sleep settings, but I haven't found the solution yet, ergo I'm here typing this quickly.
I would like to return my mac to normal, where you close the lid, it sleeps, you open the lid, and it wakes up. I don't really like that its turning off, or whatever it is doing, so even though I could technically leave it, I would prefer not to. Actually I'm not even sure if its damaging my computer at all.
Anyways guys, you are all SUPER helpful, so I'm sure one of you knows whats up. And I hope to hear from ya soon!

Welcome to the Forums!
First of all, make sure that you have COMPLETELY deleted InsomniaX. Try downloading it again, and there may be an uninstall utility there. If not, use a utility such as CleanApp:
http://www.synium.de/products/cleanapp/index.html
to make sure you've gotten rid of ALL the files linked to InsomniaX. Also, 1 gig isn't enough to comfortably run Leopard, upgrade to at least 2 gigs.
Hope this helps!

Permanent Crash related to changing display settings while FCP is open.

Recently, the display settings (arrangement) on my two monitors started changing by itself while I was working in FCP 6.5. I'm using ancient monitors (Viewsonic MB90 and Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 920. I just don't have the money to upgrade right now). Tis was annoying but I dealt with the problem by creating two different windows layouts. Then things got worse (the only thing I had done was install 8 gigs of additional memory on top of the original 2). FCP started crashing and now I can't even open the application. It doesn't react.
Apple recently posted a not very informative acknowledgement of the problem with changing display settings while FCP is open, but it doesn't suggest solutions to my problem. It would be helpful to know a) what resolution and refresh rates are best for these old monitors and b)how to open FCP again. Your help is greatly appreciated.

THIS IS IT!
Disabling the nVidia deep colors for 3d applications solved the uber-annoying "flicker-screen-settings-and-disrupt/crash-other-programs" issue. I specifically only disabled deep colors for Premiere, not for all 3d applications I use, because none of them have caused the same problem as Premiere.
This display-screen setting issue probably occurred because I use a Dell u3011 monitor which displays Adobe RGB color gamut, not just sRGB.
However, now this brings up another question with disabling deep colors (effectively disabling the Adobe RGB use of the Dell monitor):
QUESTION: If I have CG-rendered frames that seem to be created in sRGB and Adobe RGB (in two different programs), what color space should I be mixing/editing them in?
I'm somewhat of a novice with the color spectrum/gamut issue. From what I understand, if I edit both CG images in sRGB, I'll be losing color data from the Adobe RGB-created CG image. If I edit both CG images in Adobe RGB, will I create minor banding effects on the sRGB image because it doesn't have the color range that I'm editing in? Perhaps my question is more relevant to AfterEffects compositing of the images rather than simply/only editing them in Premiere.
The end result is something like an architectural film/ flythrough.

External display resolution changes after returning from display sleep

I often use an external display as a second screen with my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.8.2) However, when I return to the computer after the display has gone to sleep, the external display resolution changes when the display reappears. Then I have to go into System Preferences > Display and "Detect Displays" in order to return the external display to the proper resolution.
Does anybody know of a way for me to avoid having to do this every time my display sleeps?
Thank you,
Adam

I have the exact same problem.
I found the key combination ⌘ alt F2 also restores the proper resolution on both displays, however it's still a bit annoying

For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself. I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

Is it possible to change the display order of Apple TV applications on my home screen? i.e. move Watch ESPN toward the top, move the WSJ to the bottom, etc.

Is it possible to change the display order of Apple TV applications on my home screen? i.e. move Watch ESPN toward the top, move the WSJ to the bottom, etc. That way you won't have to scroll all the way down to the bottom to access an applicaton you use most often.

Yes. Just select and hold until the app starts to jiggle and then you can move it.

Change hyperlink display option settings

Hello,
I'm using Robohelp HTML 9. We have just decided that all our hyperlinks to pdfs need to open in a new window. However, previously this was not a standard, so not all of our hyperlinks open in a new window.
Is there a way to change the default settings for display options of all hyperlinks within a project to "New Window."?
I know the slow method is to go through each topic, and change hyperlink properties for each and every external link.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Tas

Yes unless you have a developer who can write a regular expression to do it. If you do, back up first.

Configuration settings for Contract account create\change\display transacti

Hello all,
Does any one know IMG path for settings for contract account related activities (Tcode - caa1\caa2\caa3). We have 2 systems of SAP ISU. One system shows various fields blocks under 'General data' tab like 'Account management data', 'contract account remarks', 'invoicing', 'associated work activity' while other system only shows 'Account management data' and 'associated work activity' that too with very less no of fields in there.
Is it because of any functional settings through IMG or is there any other reason?
Regards,
Abhi

Hi ,
In IMG there is a setting where in you can make settings for the fields of activities like contract account create , change , display .
Following is the navigation for the same .
SPRO - Financial accounting ( new ) - Contract accounts receivable and payable - basic functions - contract accounts - field modifications - configure field attributes per activity .
Here you can make the necessay settings for your activities as to you want to make the field as hide , display , mandatory etc.
Secondly , in case of authorizations - System checks for following Auhtorization objects ;
F_KKVK_BUK - For co code .
F_KKVK_VKT - Contract account type .
F_KKVK_BEG - Aurhoization group in contract account .
E_REGIOGRP - Regional structure group .
do revert back in case of anyother issues .

How do I stop Citrix Receiver to stop changing my visual settings? (Windows 7 and 8)

My company uses Citrix Receiver to provide remote access to some LOB applications and network resources. I understand it to be a popular system in that market. Every time I use it, however, it drives me nuts by changing the visual settings on my computer
so that dragging a window results in an outline:
^this happens in Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. Probably any OS. I just want to know how to block a program from
causing it.
This isn't saving any bandwidth: this happens on my locally-running programs on my desktop: they aren't streaming anywhere. It's like Citrix is trying to take a bandwidth-saving action but applying it to the wrong end.
Even if this was proper behavior (which it absolutely can't be), it should respect the user and put it back when you close your remote connection. But it doesn't even do that.
This drives me insane. I've tried setting the display key in the registry to read-only. This prevents the checkbox in the visual effects page from changing, but doesn't actually block the change itself. After that happens, you have to go
into the effect settings, set it to to outlines (which it already is), apply, then correct it to full-window and apply again. But first you have to go allow permissions on the registry settings again, so you aren't saving any time or sanity
with that trick.
So seriously, is there any way to stop this? I've tried registry permissions and group policy settings. All seem to only block access to the options a user could use to change it, and not preventing the change from occurring.
I've petitioned Ctrix on their own forums too but I've received no replies in months.

Mac Mini wont' Display Sleep after Yosemite Update

My Mac Mini is no longer going into Display Sleep. Instead I now see the Screen Saver. I have checked System Preferences | Energy Saver and it is definitely set to Display Sleep after 10 minutes (The default). What is interesting is that if I try to change the Display Sleep time (e.g. to 1 hour), when I go back into Energy Saver, it is back to 10 minutes - this doesn't look right! In fact none of the options (e.g. Wake on LAN) seem to stay changed.
This seemed to start after the update to Yosemite 10.10.1 a few days ago - but that might be coincidental. Until then Display Sleep had worked fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Nick
