Continued iTunes playback while lid is closed?

Is there a way to have iTunes continue to play while the Macbook lid is closed. My speaker system is in my living room, and I'd like to have the computer closed and tucked away if possible while music is playing in the background.

Hey 12Grain and welcome to the forum -
Sounds like you want to get [InsomniaX 1.3.3|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/30315].
Hope this helps -GDF

Yoga 2 pro continually changes mode while case is closed

I love my Yoga 2 Pro but there is one thing I've been unable to figure out: It seems as though the mode (e.g. tent vs. tablet vs. laptop) keeps changing when the case is closed and the computer is moving around.
I'll close the lid which, based on my power settings should put it to sleep (though I guess I have no way of really knowing because the lid is closed), put it in my bag, and as I'm walking around it keeps making the sound that it makes when I explicitly change the mode (e.g. when I fold the keyboard back to go from laptop mode to tablet mode).
This is incredibly annoying - either I have to constantly hear this tone coming from my bag, or I have to stop, get the computer out, log in, shut it down, and lose the state of what I was doing (browser tabs, window position, etc.).
This also makes me worry that the battery is draining while the lid is closed.
Is this a known issue, and is there a fix? Thank you!

I have this exact same problem, and after having my new Yoga 2 11 for only a week, it has become increasingly annoying. Is there anyway to fix this? It's frustrating to have to shut my computer down completely in order to get it not to battery drain or to continue to switch mode. I find that whenever I put it to sleep and close the lid, it powers down for a few seconds but then makes the notification sound - upon opening the lid it says that I am in "Tablet Mode" even though the computer had been compeltely closed. I would really like to fix this, or I may just end up taking the computer back.

Any way to maintain airport traffic while lid is closed?

I'm sort of new to dealing with apple computers and I might just totally be missing something but...
I'm trying to get my new MBA to maintain airport traffic while the laptop is closed. So that way it can continue downloads while it's closed.
Am I missing something or is this just not possible?

Hi,
I dont think it is possible to close the lid and continue to maintain the airport traffic because once you closed the lid, MBA will go to sleep and stop running all application.
Cheers.

New Macbook Pro Retina continually re-starting when lid is closed - Kernal Panic included

Hello,
I called 800-MYAPPLE for tech support but they were not able to help me at all, hoping someone here can help. My new MacBook Pro Retina has been continually re-starting when the lid is closed. It does not happen every time, may 20% of the time. I am running Windows 8 on Boot Camp if that piece of information is important. Here is the latest kernal panic from the log:

Playing music while lid is closed.

While moving, I usually close the lid, but sometimes I want to listen to music on my headphones while doing that. However, the Macbook doesn't let me do that ... I know HPs do since the laptop model that crapped out on me 3 times let me do that.
Is it possible to do that on my Macbook?
Thanks,

MacBook Pro comes out of sleep mode while lid is closed

Hey guys,
I have a MacBook Pro that is slightly over a year old. I'm running Leopard 10.5.5, and I have a strange problem where the computer comes out of sleep mode while the lid is still closed. This happens without any USB plugs being inserted or removed. Basically it just comes out of sleep (I can tell because I can hear the hard drive spin up as well as the noise the cd-drive makes when it's woken up), then it seems to realize that the lid is still closed and goes back to sleep. This used to happen somewhat infrequently, but I got fed up when this happened today about 10 times in a row as I was trying to study for an exam.
I have applecare so I'm not worried about having to take it in, it's just a strange, annoying problem. I have not been able to find anything from searching google or the help forums, so if anyone knows what could be causing this and how I can fix the problem it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I did as you said, and I think I found the perpetrating program. It showed:
"11/28/08 11:41:24 PM [0x0-0xb90b9].com.apple.Safari[1261] Fri Nov 28 23:41:24 Macintosh-37.local Safari[1261] <Error>: Invalid JPEG file structure: SOS before SOF\n"
Any idea what this means? The only other thing that showed up as an issue was:

or

I have no idea what this means, so if anyone can shed some light on it it would be very much appreciated.

Can't use external display w/o magsafe connected while lid is closed

I've got the latest 15" MBP with Retina Display. At work I connect it to a 23" Cinema Display and at home I us a 20" Cinema Display in my studio.
The desk I'm using isn't big enough to host my MBP with the lid up with my 20" display side-by-side , so I have to keep my MBP folded all the time. When it is folded I have noticed that I need the MagSafe adapter connected all the time, or else it will not let me use my 20" display or the USB ports. This means that I can't use my Apogee Duet via USB either, if I don't connect the MagSafe adapter.
Now you might think "well, you're at your desk, just connect the adapter and be happy". I would love to, but the thing is that I record lots of guitars in my home studio and when my computer is powered by the magsafe and I've got a guitar amp running I get lots of humming noises in the signal. I've tried different power outlets and stuff, and I can't do anything but unplug the magsafe to get rid of the problem.
Is there any one else out there with this problem, that you can't use an external display (or your USB ports) with the lid closed without Magsafe adapter?

Well the official document, posted by CT, on clamshell mode doesn't support your theory that it worked with your older/pervious macbook pro and it certainly doesn't work like that with your newer mac.
So you are either mistaken or your older/pervious mac was broken in some way to allow it to work without a AC adapter connected.

No it hasn't. My previous MacBook Pro handled that just fine.

System not stopping when shutting down while lid is closed.

Hi everyone.
I have a problem. When I try to shutdown my system, and immedeately after that I close my lid, the system don`t want to stop. It just keeps on working with the backlight on, but it is not responding, and the screen stays black. After that I have to stop/reboot the system using my power button. I can`t find anything in my logs. Can you, guys, point me where the problem could be?
My machine is Dell Studio 1555 with Ati Radeon video card. If you need any information, I will post it.
Regards.
P.S. I seem to have that problem only when I am running X Window System, with and without Compiz.

Your MBA is going into deep sleep. When you restart, the MBA is loading the sleep image and not doing a complete reboot. When you MBA wakes up, how much battery charge do you have remaining.
Deep sleep is enabled if your battery is draining or near empty.
SmartSleep allows you to set the threshold of battery charge remaining, let's say 20%, when your MacBook will write the contents of memory to disk.

Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 - Wakes up when lid is closed when power button is pressed

Hello everyone
Got my Yoga 13 back in mid December, and so far I have been really happy with it.
However, just recently I noticed a critical problem; When the lid is closed, and the power button is pressed, the laptop wakes itself up. Actually once mine woke up when I might have accidentally pressed the power button when placing it inside the sleeve bag. It stayed in my bag for a good 2 hours and heated the hell out of everything (85 Celsius!!), even some color off of the sleeve burned into the side of the yoga (not too noticeable, didn't really care about it). It survived however, no internal damages or performance reduction as I have thoroughly tested everything.
So is this suppose to happen? My brother has a Sony VAIO which is close to 3 years old and has Windows 7 on it, and it also has the power button on the outside inside the round hinges. When I press the power button while lid is closed, it doesn't wake up. How come the Yoga wakes up when the power button is pressed during lid closed? Or do I just have a bad unit?
Thank you.

Still waiting for an update on this...Haven't had the problem as I am now extra cautious.
As person above me mentioned, even if it turns itself on it doesn't go back to sleep as per battery schedule which is strange (i.e. something keeps it awake). This is my first Lenovo laptop, and I have been using this laptop rigorously for pretty much everything from VMs, rendering, photo/video editing, presentations etc. and have nothing but praises and positive things to say about this. But I absolutely cannot recommend this to anyone at my work place, not even my boss. If this problem exists, they will end up having their machine destroyed without it being really their fault. Lenovo please fix this, and you will have a loyal for life customer.

Can iTunes play with lid closed?

I am a newbie, so please excuse me if this sounds like a dumb question. I just moved from Windows world (after using it for 25 years) to MacBook Pro about 4 months ago.
I am using AiportExpress to stream music from iTunes to 3 different audio system throught my home. I would like play iTunes to play the music even when my MacBook lid is closed. I can't seem to get this work. Seems like such a basic function. Is it possible to play iTunes with lid closed? What am I missing?

{quote:title=Chris CA wrote:}If Apple were to allow it with a setting and the user burned up the computer, then it would have to be covered under warranty, which it isn't.{quote}
Don't mean to argue.. but I still believe that it should be a user enabled/disabled function. I've used it on all my PCs for several years (when playing CD on Windows Media Player) and I am yet to BURN a single device
If I have to keep the MacBook open to keep running iTunes, wouldn't I run the same risk of BURNING (like you said)?
OK.. this is what I need to do...
I have all my music in iTunes. I have setup 3 AirportExpress (AirTunes) hooked up to receivers on 3 levels on my home. I'd like to play the music from iTunes (wirelessly streaming throughout the house via AirTunes) without having to keep the MacBook open. How do I do it?
I don't want to see any third party apps (e.g. Insomnia) to prevent my computer from going to sleep. I just want to accomplish what I described above. Can this be done or not?
Another question is if the iTunes is running on one of my Windows-based laptops, and I close the lid on that, iTunes (on PC) should continue to run. Right?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Console events while lid closed

Hi
Recently I noticed on my MacBook Air console (late 2012, running Yosemite) some
events during a very short period of 3 hours when the lid was closed and I was not using it.
I was actually out, but when I came back just out of interest noticed several events
during 30 second period within these three hours:

Could someone please explain how it is possible for the computer to generate a wake message if the lid is closed? Is it possible that someone was trying to use the computer or attempted to use it either directly or indirectly?
Thanks

Apple has a feature called Power Nap which allows the computer to wake periodically to perform certain tasks. I've included a link to Apple's knowledgebase article about it.

Scheduled system wakeup from a Sleep state while lid closed

I'm wanting to backup my Ti Power Book data using the .Mac Backup 3 (BU3) application at 2am each day.
On my desktop system which is a Power Mac G5 I perform a BU3 every day at around 2am. The Energy Saver is configured to wake my Power Mac from a sleep state at 2am and not go back to sleep until some 1 hr of inactivity. Shortly after 2am I have various scheduled BU3 Plans that execute. This is working flawlessly for me.
I now want to do the same thing for my Power Book - but with its lid/screen closed. I've tried the same setup as for my Power Mac and the Power Book will wakeup at 2am but very quickly returns to sleep mode because its lid is closed which stops the BU3 from executing. I do not want to leave the Power Book's lid open at night time.
Is there a way to meet my requirements ?

Hi, Barry. No, there isn't — unless you connect an external monitor, keyboard and display to the Powerbook as described in this article.

PB battery drained overnight while lid closed....any thoughts?

This was the first time I've experienced any problems with my PB. Last night I left the office and closed my lid as always. My PB was unplugged from land power. I watched, as I always do, the Apple light go off and my standby light come on, then I went home.
This morning I came in, opened it, logged in and immediately got a notice that the battery was low. I attached the power cord and noticed I had about 2% battery life left. Now, the only thing I can think of, since all known applications were closed, was that I connected to my network via CAT5 and not wifi. I'm wondering if something was going on over the ethernet??? I have no idea why my battery would have been drained overnite with the lid closed. I searched the logs and nothing strange pops up.
Any thoughts?
Tom

In general there is always a trickle drain happening even with the lid closed. Some applications may leave the Powerbook on, or wake it from sleep on a timed schedule. Turn off the lights to see if the Apple logo is lit to verify it did indeed shut off the screen. There have been known applications to be open that force the machine to keep the screen on even when the lid is closed.
The battery is technically known to last 5 hours on limited charge, that closed as you surmised is able to last longer. But how much longer varies depending on just how full the battery was before you unplugged it. The reading on the menubar of it being full is not necessarily accurate.
I would not leave it on Energy Saver overnight all the time. At least once a month leave it on screen saver instead. Unattended someone could also steal the machine in the middle of the night. I would not leave it unattended. Especially in an office environment it shouldn't be unattended unless under lock and key.

How can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

how can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

If the machine is asleep, lid closed, and you plug in to an external monitor and an external USB keyboard, the machine will wake, anbd reconfigure the screen resolution for the external monitor, Once it has made this configuration change, you can open the lid and it will continue to address only the external monitor. At least that's how my early MacBook Pro unibody 13" works. It seems to run a bit cooler this way. It gets quite toasty with the lid closed while doing anything demanding and you are more likely to hear the fan come on. I have not seen any temps that would cause alarm, but I do get a high speed (6000 rpm), noisy fan sometimes with the lid closed, .
If you operate in the open-lid, external monitor only mode, if you deactivate the monitor for any reason, when it reactivates it will be running both screens, with all the navigation hassles this entails, so I generally set it not to deactivate the screen when in this mode.
Thus I agree with those who say that some of the cooling air is drawn in around the keyboard, the difference in cooling performance is observable. If you activate istat pro, get the computer hot running in clamshell mode, and open the lid, you can watch the CPU temp drop by a few degrees C within a couple minutes. It isn't a huge difference, but enough the lower the fan speeds.

MacBook Pro (mid 2012) turns on when lid is closed and MagSafe gets attached or detached.

I own a mid-2012 Macbook Pro with the 15" high resolution screen add-on (it's the model that was released alongside the new retina versions). The processor is a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7. I run OS X 10.8.4.
I'd like to know if the following behavior is normal: when the computer is sleeping with the lid closed, and the MagSafe adaptor is either attached or detached, removing it or attaching it (with the lid still closed) will make the computer wake up from sleep. You can easily hear the fans starting when it does so. It'll stay on for 30 seconds to a minute, and then go back to sleep again. The screen doesn't seem to turn on when this happens and the lid is closed. Opening the lid when the computer exhibits this behavior results in a black (and useless) screen. In order to be able to use the pc you need to wait until it goes back to sleep on its own and then turn it back on.
Another (possibly related) issue appears when the PC turns off automatically (either while running or during sleep) because the battery is exhausted. When this happens, I usually attach the adapter (with the lid open, most of the times) and then press on the power button. A black-and-white screen with a loading bar appears for a few seconds, and then the full-color login screen appears (my pc is set to ask for the password every time it wakes from sleep). After the loading bar is gone and the full-color screen is back, I am unable to input my password, even though the password field looks focused. Neither the keyboard nor the mouse are responsive. This often happens in such a way that it is impossible for me to input my password (or interact with my pc) before it goes back to sleep for lack of interaction. Recently I've discovered that randomly pressing the power button and some keys on the keyboard (I still don't know what exactly triggers this) will make it able to receive input and thus I'll be able to type in my password and log in.
I'd like to know if any of you have encountered the two behaviors I've described and if you think they're normal or have any solutions for them.

Hello terabytest,
I would be concerned too if my MacBook Pro exhibiting the behavior you described. For a message like this, I recommend resetting your System Management Controller (SMC) and NVRAM.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
