Closing the display kicks me off line

i have a brand new macbook and everytime i close the display or if my screen saver kicks in i get kicked off of aim. is there a way to prevent this from happening?

i have a brand new macbook and everytime i close the
display [...] i get kicked
off of aim.
Closing the screen/lid forces the MacBook into sleep mode (ie. connections are also lost).
1. I suggest closing the lid as far as possible without having the MacBook go to sleep.
2. Or attach a mouse, close the lid and press a mouse key to wake it up with the lid closed.
3. Close lid, wait until sleep, open lid somewhat, try and press a key on the keyboard, close lid again.

    I turned on my mac this morning after using Qt all day yesterday with no problems
    I get this message

    I'm on a mac pro, 10.7.4
    Everything updated
    Any know whats up and can help solve this, it seems to be a software related problem to QT 7 or X

    Exactly the same by my iMac.
    "The document ... could not be opened. An error occurred (-101)"
    I can play the same video with VLC player but not with QuickTime.
    QuickTime and iTune can not play anything at all.
    VLC Player however can play all medias without any problem.
    All my apps are uptodate.
    What could be the problem?

  • A document page opens that is too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor

    How do you fix a problem where document pages open that are too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor? The borders are off the monitor so there is no window edge to grab and adjust.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You have a Mid 2010 15-inch MacBook Pro, and your log is showing a NVIDIA graphic card problem.
    Apple has determined that these computers have got a defective NVIDIA graphic card, that may cause unexpected restarts, black screens, kernel panics... See > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
    Fortunately, Apple is repairing all of these computers for free, so just make a backup of your data and take the MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller to get your computer repaired. This repair may take some days depending on the place you take the MacBook Pro, because the whole logic board has to be replaced

  • Macbook - closed the display lid and the computer restarts

    any ideas ... i have tried restarts, reparing permission, reinstalls .... its like using windows ... or maybe even in iphone as it seems this too is struggling.
    i miss when the products just worked, time and time again
    do i just need to take this into apple for help or will there finally be an update to resolve this problem ...
    i need to depend on this computer - any idea.
    thanks for your insights.

    one of our brand new MacBooks has the same exact problem: occasionally, when closing the display the macbook will spontaneously close all programs without providing a "save" prompt and restart.
    being brand new - it has the latest firmware, and i've updated to 10.4.10.
    anyone else having this issue - any resolutions? i agree that it's most likely a hardware malfunction.

  • My MBP was working fine, but then the display just shut off... What should I try?

    I was using my MacBook Pro 2011 13', when the display suddenly shut off. I thought at first that the computer shut down, but after a hard reset, the computer is on (keys lighting up, fan noises, heartbeat light on) but the display is completely black. I no longer have apple coverage. Does anyone have a recommendation of things I could try before taking it in?

    Try resetting the SMC.

  • While using my imac the display just cuts off whats causing this

    while using my imac the display just cuts off but the machine is still on and I have to push the power button a couple of times fir it to cut back on whats causing this?

    Hi keithfromcapitol heights,
    It sounds as if your iMac is going to sleep unexpectedly. Is this during use or after it has been left alone for a while (which can be normal if it is set that way?) If during use, I would suggest that you reset your System Management Controller, using the steps in this article -
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Shut off Powerbook Display without closing the Display

    I just set up a great external monitor and everything is appearing on the external perfectly. There is nothing appearing on the PBs internal display except for the blue desktop background. I don't want the built in display to get burned with the blue desktop pattern. I am using the PBs keyboard as my main keyboard. Is there any way in Tiger to make the built in display turn off without having to use the display-closed mode so that I can continue to use the PBs keyboard?
    Thank you!

    eww,
    Duh! I thought that there would be more to it.
    Thank you again, very much!!!

  • Closing the display w/o sleeping.

    hey, i was just wondering if anyone here knew of a way to be able to close the mbp screen without the computer shutting itself off in sleep mode. I'm backing up my hard drive and i'd rather not have to leave the screen open.

    You can run the MBP with the lid closed if you have it hooked up to another monitor. Here is how. Sleep the MBP. With the lid closed, Connect external monitor, and turn Monitor on. Plug in power supply, then USB Keyboard, and it should wake up on the external monitor only. If it doesn't wake up, hitting the space bar should wake it. I wouldn't run it long this way. But if you open the lid after waking it on external monitor, Lid monitor stays dark. If you want to use 2 monitors, either wake it with the lid open, or open it and select Detect Displays from the Displays Preference panel. Mine is a little screen in the menu bar. I always keep my PowerBook G4-17 attached this way when it is in the office. 4 years and going strong. I suppose running it half the time with the lid closed might hurt it, maybe that's why the airport died 3 days after AppleCare ended! I don't think it gets as hot as this MBP does

  • Closing the display with screen protector

    I use a "Shaggy Mac" screen protector (cloth) whenever I close the display. However, when I try to close the display with the cloth in place, I have to exert a little extra pressure to make sure the lid fully closes... its not difficult to close, but its certainly not as easy as it is without the screen protector. Is this ok for the display? Thanks!

    If you're just closing the lid while it sits on your desk, then no, I don't think it's necessary. But I pack mine in a crowded backpack full of books, and that appears to be enough to compress it to the point where the key-tops touch the screen. With grazing light, I can see that they've already had a slight effect on the screen surface.
    I just use the thin sheet of plastic foam that shipped with my MacBook. It serves the purpose, is precisely the right size and is very cheap.

  • I connected my Macbook Pro 2012 to a 1080p monitor, and the display is cut off at the top?

    Hello,
    I have just connected my Macbook Pro to a 1080p 23' LG monitor using a Displayport to VGI adapter. However, when I use the 1080p setting, it cuts off a little bit of the top bar. When I switch to lower resolutions, it works just fine. I would rather use it at 1080p, though. Is there a way to fix this?
    Thanks,
    HiTryx

    You may need a display adaptor but can otherwise use a non-Apple monitor.
