Clamshell question: MB display should not illuminate, right?

Just wanted to confirm something before trying to figure out any possible solutions.
At home, I generally run my MacBook in clamshell mode. It had been working just fine until recently, when some oddities popped up. Just reset the PRAM and PMU. When I connect an external monitor (not mirrored now) and try to run in clamshell mode, the MacBook display should NOT be illuminated, right? The Apple on the top of the clamshell lid is always lit up how in clamshell mode. Before I thought the MB display would shut down when in clamshell and running on an external monitor.
Also thought that clamshell worked fine with mirroring. Now I can only get the external display to work properly (resolution independent of MacBook display) is if mirroring is turned off.
Fans were also running nearly all the time, though the PRAM and PMU reset seems to have taken care of that issue for now.
Finally, I've been holding off on the 10.4.9 upgrade since it seemed to cause problems for some yet without offering any appealing fixes for my personal use. Might this be an issue too?
Thanks in advance.

Whew. OK. First of all, by "clamshell mode" I'm going to assume you mean closed-lid mode, as "clamshell" makes Mac users think of the old-style original iBooks, and not a mode on a MacBook. This is why you haven't seen much action in this thread.
So here's the deal: You start your MacBook up with an external monitor connected, and it should be in Mirrored Mode. Next, you close the lid of your MacBook, and it should go to sleep. Finally, you move your mouse or press some keys on an external USB keyboard, and the MacBook should awaken in external monitor mode, or "closed lid" mode, where only the external monitor is active. After that, until you shut down or press the mirrored mode key, you should stay in closed lid mode and the MacBook display should remain off, even if you open the lid.
If it's not working as I listed above, something is wrong.
Now, you cannot connect a monitor to the MacBook and "switch" to closed lid mode by any key presses. You MUST put the MacBook to sleep first, and then awaken it in single screen closed lid mode.
Good luck.

  • HT5312 i need to change my security questions holy **** it should not be this hard

    seriously
    what the ****

    What problem are you having with the instructions on that page ? if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • The email they are sending my security question reset to is not the right one and I can't change it

    I have recently been asked to supply security question answers when trying to download an app. When I didn't remember answering any, I attempted to do reset by following the instruction to manage my account, but the reset security question email isn't correct and there does not appear to be a way to change it.  My verified email on my account is correct so I don't know why it would use a different one.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    -If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    -If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

  • ER Contribution should not Deduct from EE SAL and not Display in Payslip.

    Hi Experts,
    I  have Pension ER contribution Wage type:
    1. That should not deduct from Employee SAL
    2. Should not display in Payslip.
    3. Amount store in RT.
    What changes i should do in V_T512W_D table
    Appreciate your early response.
    Regards
    Raj

    Hi,
    We are maintaining the EE & ER contribution.
    EE is working fine with all the validation & deducting from employee every month.
    When we are handling ER contribution that amount is getting deducted from EE sal.
    So we want to restrict ER contribution Deducting from employee sal and not to display in Payslip.
    Figuring out how can we handle this thru Processing, Cumulating or Evaluation class.
    Kindly advise
    Regards

  • Field should not display when it is null

    1 ABC BCA 0 0 0
    2 XYZ YXZ 0 1 0
    So if 1 is not having any value then that row should not display,it should dispaly only row with values as in 2.
    Thanks in Advance....

    Instead of <?for-each:G_CF_SUB_SEG_VALUE?>
    use
    <?for-each:G_CF_SUB_SEG_VALUE[TOTAL_CUST_AMT!=0 or TOTAL_CUST_B0!=0 or TOTAL_CUST_B2!=0 or TOTAL_CUST_B3!=0 or TOTAL_CUST_B4!=0 or TOTAL_CUST_B5!=0 or TOTAL_CUST_B6!=0]?>

    hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

    Do you have the most up-to-date version of the app? Did you upgrade to iOS 6? Did you check to make sure that the developer has updated the app for the new OS? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the app?

  • AFTER LOADING THE DATA INTO THE INFOCUBE IT SHOULD NOT DISPLAY IN REPORTING

    Hi experts,
                     I have the data in infocube. When i selected the cube in reporting it should not display i.e; the data should not display in reporting.
    thanks nd regards,
    venkat

    Bit strange requirement. But if you have data in Cube and automatically its will be available for Reporting. unlike ODS, we do not have option of "Automatic request activation".
    However on repoeting side, you can restrict the values to #  and exclude everything from slection. But not good solution as such.

  • CO-PA: Quantity should not be display in KE30 reports

    Dear All,
    In my system CO-PA is activated 2 years back. Costing based & Accounting based OC.
    My Client requirement is- Recently we developed few CO-PA reports with number of characteristics, Values flow from SD-->CO-PA  is good.
    We have some free products. Free products will flow to CO-PA along with Valuated products. Both Free and valuated sales will happen one sales invoice only.
    In Sales invoice PR00 will be Zero for Free Products but COGM will be there. COGM is updating from VPRS fine.
    Now my requirement is Free products COGM shoud be display in KE30 reports but Quantity should not be Display.
    Reason: When i put a formula per packet COGM is Total COGM value/Number of Packets. In this packets free products also there.
    So. COGM will wrong due to Free samples packets should not be treated as SALES.
    This COGM also add to  the valuated products COGM.
    So, any one help me in this regard: COGM value related to free products should flow to CO-PA but Quanity should not flow.
    And also let me know if Qty flow to CO-PA also no issue but in KE30 Reports,It should not come only COGM value sufficient.
    Thanks in Advance,

  • Workflow question:  workflow should not start

    Hi,
    I have a question about a workflow.
    Function module YTE_CHECK_WF_START starts a workflow for the approval of travel expenses.
    In table "yte_start_wf", we have defined a list of users for which the workflow should not start.
    Nevertheless, the workflow starts for a user who appears on the list. He gets e-mails in his Inbox, which should not happen.
    What can be the reason?
    Does anyone have an idea?
    Thank you.
    Kind regards,
    Linda

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I am not familiar with workflow.
    1) Where can I find the agents/possible agent list?
    2) Where can I exclude the user in the task?
    Thanks.
    Kind regards,
    Linda

  • Upgraded to IOS5, now music doesnt work right, displayed song not playing, plays 3,4 songs then stops although is appears to be playing. Help

    upgraded to IOS5, now music not working right. displayed song not playing, plays 4,5 songs and stops although it appears that it is playing. Cycled pwr,didn't work. tried resyncing, same thing.Help?

    I have an iPhone 4 and ever since I upgraded to iOS5 i've got the same problem. Apple need to release a patch as there's no way of fixing this unless we downgrade our phones back to iOS4 which would just suck!
    I often shut the music app down and start again but even then the artwork doesn't match the song playing and will only play a few songs. It's frustrating when you're driving or going for a run, having to pull over or stop and sort it out.
    We'll have to wait for Apple to bring out a patch unfortunately.
