Closing Display Lid while useing iTunes

I have my Powerbook on a small sofa table with a long bar speaker behind it.
I want to be able to close the lid all the way but still run iTunes, is that possible? When I close it now iTunes shuts off, I also have my security feature set to ask for password after going into standby, (which is what seems to be happening when I close the lid. I just started useing this laptop after a long
absence from Mac OSX. I run 10.3.9............Limitless

Hi, Limitless, and welcome to Apple Discussions. Your Powerbook is designed to sleep whenever its display is closed, except when used with an external display, keyboard and mouse connected to it as described in this article. You won't be able to use it the way you describe. Unlike you, it isn't limitless — ;o)

How do I get an XY Chart to display properly while using embedded loop

s to periodically read multiple channels of similar data? (multi-Y versus specified time) The plot just becomes a point or a single plot of all values taken at one scanning of all channels. I want multiple plots over time updated at the time of scanning.I have also stored my data in a daily text file that is tab delimited. The text files consists of a row of text column headers, a blank row and then rows of data. The data rows are mixed data types. The first column is a date/time such as Mar 1, 2002 12:01 pm. The remaining columns are numeric data. I can't seem to get my data to plot properly in an XY chart from memory and am having problems parsing the data with mixed data types in the data r
ows. The format I am using works great for viewing the history files in Excel.
When I plot the data, I either get a single point or a a series of points for a single reading of all channels or I get a line connecting all data for that single scan reading. What am I doing wrong? At this point, I don't care if I read the data from the file to plot it or if I can just get Labview to plot correctly as the data is gathered without going to the history file.
As noted in the summary question, I have embedded loops in my applicaiton. I have a while-loop that determines the scan rate and keeps the program running until it is turned off. Inside of that, I have a for-loop (in a subVI) which scans all my data channels.
Thanks for your help.

s to periodically read multiple channels of similar data? (multi-Y versus specified time) The plot just becomes a point or a single plot of all values taken at one scanning of all channels. I want multiple plots over time updated at the time of scanning.XY plots expect a cluster containing two 1D arrays for the X and Y
coordinates of the individual points. If you want multiple plots you can
supply an array of these clusters but you have to resupply the "x" array
for each of them.
Hope that helps,

Is there a way to select a specific playback device while using itunes 11 on Windows 7?

Is there a way to select a specific playback device while using itunes 11 on Windows 7? I was trying to select a device, is there such an option in itunes as there is in VLC player and Windows Media Player. If not, any idea when this feature will becoem available? Thanks!

iTunes supports multiple Airplay devices that can be selected. If the device does not support Airplay then the manufacture of the device would need to support it for iTunes.

Battery life drained while using itunes

My macbook battery life is being drained while using itunes. I have checked the activity monitor and the CPU usage is up to 14-16 while on most macbooks, its at an average of 4 or 5. I've updated the software and even tried going back to the original software it came with. What's the best solution for this issue?

CD-RW drive disappears from entire system while using iTunes

I just installed a new CD-RW drive (master), removed all old CD burning software, and have installed the latest version of iTunes. I'm able to use the software without issues, Install CD's and Burn CD's, but after about 4-6 installs or burns my CD-RW drive disappears! iTunes will no longer recognize the drive and the drive no longer appears in My Computer or elsewhere.
I've tried physically reinstalling the drive and I've performed the steps in Microsoft Support Article ID 320553 repeatedly: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320553
After following those steps and reinstalling iTunes each time, everything appears normal and I can use iTunes for about 4-6 burns/installs and then the same issue happens again.
Note, for what it's worth, I have an old CD-RW drive also installed, but as a slave that I do not use with iTunes or for anything else. It just exists.
Is this leaning toward an iTunes problem or a burner drive problem? I don't know where else to look.

b,
Well the issue happened again. Below is the DVD/CD Diagnostics. I then closed iTunes. I opened Device Manager and saw no ?'s or error messages. The D drive was missing again so this time I just tried the option "Scan for hardware changes" and it easily found the D drive and added it to the Device Manager. I then reopened iTunes and burned a CD with no problems. The plot thickens. Any clues?

Is it okay to closed the lid after using Macbook Pro even the it is hot?

Hi. I'm using MBP early 2011 I5 and I noticed the temperature getting high and palm rest is getting hot/warm when I'm playing games. Is this normal? temperature around 80 degree celsius accoringding to istat.
Also, after using the MBP, ofcourse the palm rest is hot/warm. Is it okay to close the lid after using it?
Thanks.

My practice has been to let the MBP cool a few minutes before closing the lid, so it's trapping less heat. I doubt this has much saving effect on the logic board components, but my MBP is old enough to have a glossyplastic display cover. It would look ugly if it started to warp.

Turn off laptop screen while using iTunes? Or best screen saver?

Is there a way to turn off the iBook display and still let the computer use iTunes? I can't find anything on this. If that isn't possible, what would be the best screen saver for actually saving the screen? If you know what I mean....

That does work--thank you. I wanted this solution for iTunes. This came to my attention when a friend of mine was using his MacBook to run a movie on a television, and he was complaining about the fact that the MacBook display could not be shut off while exporting the feed to the tv. You've answered my question, but I'm going to amend the topic to include shutting off screen while exporting a video feed--perhaps someone knows the answer to that. (I don't have anything to port a feed too, or I'd try it myself.) Thank you!

MacBook Pro Not Sleeping After Closing Display Lid

Hello, my less-than-1-month old MacBook Pro, for it's first time, did not to go to sleep after I closed the display lid (I noticed because my external mouse's LED indicator lights were still on, when they have always turned off when my Mac goes to sleep.
I left the Mac in this state for one hour or so. When I got back to use it, I noticed it was still running and the display had gotten a bit warmer. Does the heat damage the LCD display at all?
Has anyone else with a MacBook Pro experienced a similar occurrence?
Thanks a lot for your answers!

Try this:
1. Reset PRAM/NVRAM and SMC
2. Delete
a. (From the HD) /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
b. (From the HD) /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
c. (From the Home Folder) ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
the tilde [~] indicates your home user directory, i.e. /Users/username)
d. Restarted computer
With the lid closed should not harm the computer.....when operating in clamshell mode this would be considered normal (heat buildup).

Closed display lid shuts downs MBP

Recently migrated to a New Macbook Pro but now when I close the display lid the MacBook Pro shuts down. It doesn't go to sleep. No flashing LED. Light goes out. I checked system preferences>energy saving but cannot find an option to set when lid closes to put computer to sleep or shut down. I've checked the manuals and help but only refers to the system preferences>energy saving settings which doesn't address this issue. Is there someplace where this option is set? Or is there something to reset to return to normal default sleep mode when lid is closed?
reboot to start - no sleep

Hi, oag. If the machine is shutting down completely and immediately when you close the display, that's not an option, it's a fault. You can't choose to have it do that, and it shouldn't do it under any circumstances. I would make a Genius Bar appointment to have the machine evaluated, and probably repaired or replaced.

Imac spontaneously turning off while using iTunes?

Lately, every once in a while my iMac shuts itself down while inactively, listening to music from my library. Does anyone know what could be the course?

Specifically, I don't know the answer, but finding out the answer won't be hard.
We'll need a few specifics. You say your iMac shuts down while listening to music from your library. Is that the only time it happens? Is this when you're using iTunes, or some other application? What do you mean when your "iMac shuts itself down"? Does it shut down entirely, causing yout to reboot your computer? Could you describe exactly what happens before and after the "shut down"?

Macbook air 13" screen goes black while using iTunes

I have an early 2014 13" Macbook Air with a 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, and I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. When I'm using iTunes, specifically when I'm watching a movie or TV show, the screen will randomly go black, but not like it turned off. The audio still works, but I can't see the cursor or anything. The only way I've been able to fix it is to completely turn it off (control+command+power) and turn it back on. It happens pretty often though, and as you can imagine, gets quite annoying. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Possible to control/block access to the internet while using itunes,etc?

Parental control. I would like to require a password for access to Safari, etc, to control computer privileges - while keeping itunes, Pages, iphoto,etc open. I want to listen to my playlist without opening internet access to the kids. It must be possible!

Hi jarileys, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Did you set up Managed Accounts in System Preferences>Accounts for them?

My playlists have not been trnasferred to my iphone while using iTunes Match

They have completely disappeared. I had been using ITunes Match on my iPhone and it was working fine, but I noticed the new things I had bought or CDs I had ripped weren't showing. So I turned match off and turned it back on and that's when I lost my playlists. Where are they? All the music is showing except the playlists. How do I get them back???

Wicked annoying but I actually uninstalled iTunes on my Mac using an AppZapper. You can also get AppCleaner which is free. After I just went to apple.com/itunes and redownloaded iTunes. My music and playlists were still there, then I turned on iTunes Match and turned it on my iPhone once the upload finished. Try it!
NOTHING else worked! This was the only way I could jumpstart iTunes Match to actually give me my playlists. PLEASE backup your Library first. Nothing bad should happen, but don't take any chances. Good luck!
