Disable clamshell/external only feature?

I frequently have an external display connected and use both laptop and external display. Sometimes when I leave my desk for a bit I close the macbook to sleep. No problem so far.
Occasionally, when I return to my macbook and wake it by opening the lid, it wakes to just the external monitor only. I figure this is because the mouse gets jiggled enough while sleeping to wake it, it assumes only the external monitor is required because the macbook is still closed, that's the way it's supposed to work. But it's a bit annoying, is there any way to turn off the clamshell feature so I always come back to two screens?

Your English is much better than that of some native English speakers who post here.
Your MBP's waking up immediately after being closed, without your doing something to cause it, is *not a feature of clamshell mode.* In clamshell mode, the expected behavior is that the machine will sleep when the display is closed, and you will then wake it and bring the external display into operation *by pressing a key on the external keyboard.* If you don't do that, it stays asleep. So clamshell mode doesn't need to be disabled to stop the behavior that's annoying you, because that behavior has nothing to do with clamshell mode.
Instead, you need to determine which of the devices you are using with the MBP is interrupting sleep. This is nearly always caused by a USB device that doesn't understand sleep, and tries to communicate with the computer while it sleeps — which causes it to wake up. It may be your keyboard, your mouse, an external drive, a printer, scanner, ExpressCard device, Bluetooth cell phone, or even an SD card in the built-in card reader, if you have one. So first turn Bluetooth off and close the display to test for a change in behavior. If the MBP still wakes up a minute later, that wasn't the culprit. Disconnect your other peripheral devices one at a time, testing again after each disconnection, until you discover which device is responsible.

  • Disable clamshell mode via Terminal

    Hi everyone.
    Is there any way to disable "clamshell mode" and avoid my MacBook Pro waking up seconds after I close the lid?. I always use my MBP17 with a magic mouse, usb hub, external monitor and plugged magsafe but using both screens at the same time. I just would like to close the lid and enter sleep mode while I go away from my mac for five minutes without having to unmount drives, unplug magsafe and turn off mouse. It's crazy!!. I still can't believe there is no preference for that.
    I know thats the wanted behaviour for using the external display with the macbook screen off but I just wanna send my mac to sleep for God sake!!
    Thanks in advance and excuse my poor english.

  • Office Web Apps - how to disable office web apps features for one web application

    ENV: Sharepoint 2010 farm with office web apps + fast search
    I have the requirement for one web application to open all its documents in client applications - I can enable feature "OpenInClient". This web application uses team site template and other web application also uses team site template. ( feature
    stapling ruled out)  Now I can run powershell cmdlet to enable this feature on all the currently existing site collections. But the requirement is to enable this feature for all the future site collections. This web applications has 60 k site collections
    and atleast more than 10 site collections get created each day and they dont like the option to run a powershell script each day to activate this solution.
    Is there any other way to by default activate new site collections on this WA to open in client applications by default (can we disable this office webapps features only on one web app)?
    VM

    I have learnt from this forum that it is not possible to turn off Office web apps on single web application. The line of control lies at farm level and then at site collection.

  • My AppleTv keeps dimming as if it is in energy saver mode.  My DVD player and TV do not do this.  How do I disable the energy saver feature on AppleTv?  BTW this is my second AppleTV device so it does not appear to be a product defect.

    My AppleTV keeps dimming as if it is in energy saving mode.  My TV and DVD/Netflix player do not do this.  How do I disable the energy saver feature in AppleTV?  BTW:  This is my second AppleTV device so it does not appear to be a product defect.

    I keep seeing versions of this same question, and it's always the same answer: it's the TV. Well, it happens to me as well. But it only happens when viewing programming via Apple TV. My cable is totally fine: no dimming. Only with Apple TV. So what's the answer?

  • Disable Auto Orientation only in a specific frame!

    Hi there! 
    I appreciate if you please guide me with your experience in Mobile App design.
    My App contains 5 frames of data (movieclips), that each frame has 2 designs:
    1- Stand mode design    (portrait)
    2- Wide mode design     (landscape)
    So far it works great and I have published my App both on Google Play and Apple Store.
    Frames structure is as follows:
    frame   1            Loads External Data
    frames 2-6         Each frame contains 1 MovieClip designed based on mobile "Stand mode"
    frames 22-26     Each frame contains 1 MovieClip designed based on mobile "Wide mode"
    (Example: contents of frame 2 and 22 are the same, also 3 & 23 ... 6 & 26)
    (frame 2 is STAND design, 22 is WIDE design, and so on)
    In "Air Setting Dialoge", I have selected aspect ratio "Auto" and "Auto orientation".
    And I have this code in Frame 1 to do the rotation trick:
    stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeLayout);
    function resizeLayout(e:Event):void
                   setPosition();
    function setPosition():void
            //Phone turned from "Wide" to "Stand"
                   if (stage.stageWidth < stage.stageHeight)
                                  //App is now in "Wide" mode - means between frame 22 to 26
                                  if (currentFrame>20) 
                                                 //go to the same position of App but in "Stand" mode
                                                 gotoAndStop(currentFrame - 20);
                   else
                                  //Phone turned from "Stand" to "Wide"
                                  if (currentFrame<20)
                        //go to the same position of App but in "Wide" mode 
                         gotoAndStop(currentFrame + 20);
    Well, and finally my question:
    1- Is this way I have programed my App to rotate, a proper approach?!
          (in this way I can easily arrange objects on screen and also position them based on math calculations)
    2- If I want to disable auto rotation only when app reaches specific frames, what should I do??
       (for example I want the app Not to auto oriente in Frame 6 and 26., but it rotates in other frames)
    Hope it was not confusing and I cant wait to check out your valuable guidance!
    All the best and thanks a lot for your time.

    Hi there all!!
    Still I have no answer for my question No1, BUT I could find my answer to the 2nd question and here it is for your kind notice:
    Special thanks to Daniel Dura
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/screen_orientation_apis.html
    I just added this code to my first Frame:
    stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING, onOrientationChanging);
    function onOrientationChanging(event:StageOrientationEvent ):void
              if (currentFrame == 6 || currentFrame == 26)
                        event.preventDefault();

  • DIsable smtp auth only for an ip

    Dear gurus,
    I have sun messaging server 6 running perfectly alright and only new thing which I would like to incorporate is to disable smtp auth only for one ip address.I am new to this system and have gathered following information from sun messaging docs, the steps which I followed..
    1) Create a table DISABLE_SMTPAUTH_IP similar to INTERNAL_IP mapping table in mapping file
    INTERNAL_IP
    10.18.18.19 $Y
    10.18.18.38 $Y
    10.18.18.30 $Y
    127.0.0.1 $Y
    * $N
    ! Added on 01092008 for disabling smtp_auth
    DISABLE_SMTPAUTH_IP
    external.ip.addres $Y
    *$N
    2) ALLOW PORT ACCESS
    *PORT_ACCESS
    *|*|*|*|* $C$|DISABLE_SMTPAUTH_IP;$3|$Y$E
    *|*|*|*|* $C$|INTERNAL_IP;$3|$Y$E
    3) Then right after the current rewrite rule in imta.cnf file Created new TCP CHANNEL
    ! Do mapping lookup for internal IP addresses
    [] $E$R${INTERNAL_IP,$L}$U%[$L]@tcp_intranet-daemon
    added a new rewrite rule:
    ! Do mapping lookup for "no smtp auth", non-internal IP addresses
    [] $E$R${DISABLE_SMTPAUTH_IP,$L}$U%[$L]@tcp_nosmtpauth-daemon
    ! ttcp_nosmtpauth-daemon

    run /opt/SUNWmsgr/sbin/imsimta refresh
    alternatively tried imsimta cnbuild and imsimta restart
    but still i get Mail rely denied when I try sending messages from the same trusted IP without doing AUTH.
    I would like to know...
    1) If there is something mising or wrong in above steps
    2) HOw do i check if the messages from that IP(for which smtp auth is disabled) is passing from the tcp_nosmtpauth channel...
    THanks for giving your valuable time...

    thanks very much shane for giving time...
    Please always provide the exact version of Messaging Server (./imsimta version).
    mumxxxx1 # ./imsimta version
    Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-6.01 (built Apr 3 2006)

    Why would you want to disable SMTP Authentication? What are you attempting to achieve by doing this -- what is the problem you are trying to solve?
    We are an ISP and therefore sometimes required to send bulk mail, for which we are currently using perl bulk mail module script and there we specify the users in text file to send message, everytime this module try sending it get Mail Relaying denied as it doesnot supply user and passwd required for smtp auth in base64.
    Therefore I wanted to disable smtp auth for an ip address using which smtp auth is not reqauired and mails should be openly relayed.
    Why are all of the above entries commented out? Did you intend to disable (break) the tcp_intranet channel?
    no it is not commented in config files.
    +./imsimta refresh is no longer a valid comment, you need to use ./imsimta cnbuild;./imsimta restart+
    as per sun mesaging server 6 admin guide it is given to be working. Alterntively I tried ./imsimta cnbuild;./imsimta restart.
    Please provide the mail.log_current line that matches the attempted email delivery which was rejected.

    Also please clarify if you want to disable the ability to perform SMTP auth or whether you want to allow email to be sent without requiring SMTP auth -- these are two completely different objectives.
    No I do not want to disable SMTP auth for everyone.DEfault is it should be forced to all except from one ip. ie disable smtp auth only for an ip address.

  • ...notifications are a paid only feature, they are not available with a free account...

    Hi Support-Team,
    is there a chance to change this:
    "... notifications are a paid only feature, they are not available with a free account ..."
    If we can't send a notification to an other user FormsCentral doesn't make sence and will cancel the account... That would be a pity, because otherwise everything would work very well.
    Kind regards
    Andreas

    Hi;
    Thanks for your feedback, but notifications are a paid feature and are not available in a free account.  That isn't likely to change.  Hopefully there is enough value in this and the other features of a paid account for you to consider an upgrade.
    Thanks,

  • Regarding disabling the Pushdown SQL feature in Data Services

    Hi Experts,
    I have created a mapping using decode function for replacing the original values in legacy system to new SAP values specified. The mapping is showing no syntax errors, but while executing the job, it is saying that there are no sufficient priviliges in the source database to perform that query. That mapping query that I wrote is being pushed to source database where there are no sufficient priviliges to execute that query,
    Can you suggest me a way to disable that pushdown SQL feature so that I can be able to eliminate that error?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Manoj,
    The query that is getting pushed to database is the decode function used in the mapping to change the values. It is saying insuficient priviliges to execute it. I removed that mapping and kept in an SQL transform while fetching data from the source and it executed successfully. I didnt understand how it could execute the job successfully when I put the same mapping in the SQL transform rather than putting it in a Query transform.

    Hi,
    Just to confirm you there is no option for this. If you have created the invoice(base document) for that then you cant change it in target document..
    Other wise you can do one thing while copying it in target doc. just select customize option in copy from--> draw document wizard & select the right items you want.

  • How to disable drag and drop feature for a document library?

    Hi
    How can I disable drag and drop feature for a document library? Do I have an option to disable it from the SharePoint's feature set?
    Or can I disable it using a script? If so, how?
    Regards
    Paru

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to disable drag and drop feature for a document library.
    Drag and drop in SharePoint 2013 is a feature that depends on HTML5, which requires version of browser, SharePoint by default doesn’t has feature to disable or enable this.
    You can try disabling the drag and drop feature by disabling an add-on in Internet Explorer, or
    using Internet Explorer 9 or lower.
