Disconnects when lid closes
I was curious if there is a setting that when you close the lid to your laptop that it doesn't disconnect you from being on-line?? When i re-open the top my AIM and internet is logged off..
Mac Book Mac OS X (10.4.8)
When you close your screen, your computer is essentially sleeping. So the harddisks stop. Meaning no data transfer at all..
If you want, get lucky and buy a new macbook that doesnt sleep when you close the lid. haha. mine did that. but i got it fixed.

Urgent: Shut down when lid closes problem
My Mabook pro / mid 2010 / Yosemite 10.10 shuts down when lid closes. This is new in the last few days, not after any system updates. It wont restart after lid opens again, unless repeatedly holding down power button for long periods. Strangely, the sleep light is on before I open the lid, but once lid is open, it's completely off.
Does anyone know the cause and/or fix for this? I'm really worried it's the beginning of the end, and I rely on this machine for work and need to travel in a few days! Thanks in advance for any trouble shooting tips.Just to clarify; when I say "this is new" I mean the problem, not the laptop.

I just bought a 13 inch MBP yesterday. I know macbooks are supposed to sleep when the lid is closed by default. But a few times when I opened the lid, the computer had appeared to turn completely off. The indicator light on the front was steady when the lid was closed, not blinking like I believe it is supposed to be when sleeping.
Any ideas?1. Within 14 days of purchase of an Apple product, you can either return it or exchange it for a new one.

Laptop shuts down when lid closes
My 15" powerbook has been acting up the last few days ever since I downloaded the last group of updates. When I close the lid to put it to sleep the entire computer shuts down. When I open it and start it up it gives me the message that the computer was unexpected shut down. Any ideas?
Sorry, then I have to give up
Hopefully an other user can provide more assistance to you.
I would give Apple a phone call and ask for support, since it seems to be affiliated with the replacement battery (at least I would state so to get support). -
Sometimes when I close the lid in battery mode I here the TA DA! and I open the monitor and here the OS X is booting up like on a restart. It does not happen all the time. Any ideals what could be causing this? I leave my power settings in the Normal mode.
I have the same problem... But, more often than not, if I close the lid while it's still "thinking" about shutting down, I get frozen in some weird zombie limbo, in which the computer is half-shut-down, but, like, frozen in sleep mode... and i have a **** of a time getting it to respond and restart. when i finally DO restart, i get a message saying it wasn't shut down properly. (tho: it WAS shut down properly. it's just this bizarre restart it does when i shut the lid.) would LOVE advice!

Ichat/internet disconnecting when lid is closed
Hello,
Whenever i'm online using ichat or I doing anything internet-related, when i shut the cover of the computer everything signs off....i get disconnected from the internet completely and kicked off of ichat/aim. how can i shut this off?
Thank you!Closing the lid puts the computer to sleep, which closes all of its network connections except for the ability to wake it up by sending it a magic packet over the Ethernet interface.

Last edited by whille (2013-03-21 05:26:24)You are still using acpid. That is triggering the suspend, not logind.
Edit: Also use [ code ] [ /code ] tags (without the spaces) for things like your logs. Hit the "quote" button if you are more of a visual learner.
This is how you use code tags.

Hey all,
I'd really appreciate your help on this, I can't figure out if it's a normal defect of the MBA or just my model....I just got my ACD and I couldn't figure out why the network was constantly dropping when my 4 year old powerbook found it just fine. Then I realized when the lid is closed, or almost closed, the network completely drops even though the computer runs just fine (with my display, external keyboard and mouse). I can't figure this out. Something in the hinge is turning off the airport card?
Thanks in advance.Sorry about the sidetracking, was trying to correct the information that the other poster added (in two posts) that you can't use the MBA with it closed so others would not think that was true.
The closed lid may be interfering with the WiFi antenna or placing the antenna in a position where something is in the way that can block the signal. Other possibility is closing the lid is causing a problem with a short/loose connection due to a defect. To eliminate the first, move the arrangement of your monitor, etc. For the second you'd need to have it serviced. -
Suspends only every second time when lid closed
Hello everybody, my problem is as the subject: to suspend I have to close usually the laptop lid twice.
I'm using kde, but I have also used years ago fluxbox, tweaking scripts and using laptop-mode (which is not running now). Thanks in advance for every idea where to look.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate when keyboard/mouse used... disconnect display, open lid and laptop display will not activate... only way out is hold power button. Worked fine before Lion update. Any Advice?
Thanks very much Coander15... I've printed the doc you pointed me towards and I'll run through it.. hoping it helps!
Before I installed Lion I simply hit any key on the keyboard or clicked the mouse...
The keyboard is USB (usually connected to monitor which is connected to laptop... have tried direct connect to laptop as well with no luck) and mouse is USB wireless to one of those tiny plug in's... have tried direct connect USb mouse as well with no luck.
I could plug the closed/sleeping laptop into the monitor and unplug from the monitor without incident all day/night... always worked fine.
Had heard something about this happening w/ Lion but went ahead anyway.
Oh well...
Hoping your pointer helps... will let you know how it turns out. Thanks very much for responding!!! -
A rundown of what I've tried:
Adjusting energy settings to try to prevent sleep
Pluging the USB keyboard and wacom tablet directly into the laptop (as opposed to a usb hub)
My laptop's power cable is connected
My display (a Vizio TV) is recognized in the System Preferences panel
I'd been using this TV for about a year with my older Macbook Pro (OS 10.5.8), though using a different wireless keyboard and mouse
***Update: The issue seems to lie with the keyboard and wacom tablet. I am trying to use a wireless Case Logic keyboard (with dongal) and wired wacom tablet to wake the Macbook Pro in clamshell mode. To experiment, I tried using my Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse set (also dongal) that I had been using before and it wakes the computer without any problems! However, I really need to be able to use my wacom tablet. If I switch to the tablet after waking the computer using the Logitech keyboard & mouse it works, but once the computer sleeps it won't work anymore. I could keep switching back and forth I suppose, but it's sort of a pain. There has to be an easier way! Any ideas why the wired wacom tablet is unable to wake the computer in clamshell mode?
Thanks!So your keyboard or mouse won't wake the Mac when you close the lid correct? Try resetting the SMC and pram
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -
Won't go to sleep when I close the lid
When I close the lid of my Macbook Pro (running Lion) it doesn't realy go to sleep. When I open the lid the screen goes black. Does anyone know what the issue is?
Thanksif you're sayingt he light doesn't blink anymore, that's new to lion.
if you are really having issues that you think are a bug instead of how it should work, try resetting your SMC as this should solve any issues with putting your computer to sleep with the lid.

(Macbook Air 13 ", medio 2011, 1,7 core i5, 4 MB ram, 256 GB, iMac 22", Timecapsule 1 TB, Airport Express, 2 Iphone 4, 1 iPhone 3s, iPad2)Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
Step 1
▹ System Preferences ▹ Print & Scan ▹ Open Print Queue...
Check all printers for unfinished jobs. Deal with any you find.
Step 2
▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter ▹ Wake for network access: uncheck. You may need to unlock the preference pane by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your administrator password.
Step 3
▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Schedule… ▹ Start up or wake: uncheck
Step 4
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse or trackball, and monitor, if applicable.
Step 5
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window, if not already selected. Enter “powerd” (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Select the powerd process and click the Quit Process button in the toobar (stop-sign icon.) In the sheet that opens, click Force Quit. You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. The process will be relaunched immediately.
Step 6
Boot in safe mode and log in. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
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.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the Mac OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
Step 7
Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
Step 8
If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again. -
How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?
No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

This article may provide some information about your Mini DisplayPort to AVI adapter. Have you tried to connect a different VGA monitor to your Macbook to see if you get the same results?

18. What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter?
The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. VGA displays that use higher refresh rates (such as 85 Hz) at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or greater may not generate video properly until you lower the refresh rate.

How can I detect displays?
If the detect displays option is not available, hold down the Option key while you are in the Display pane.
How do I select additional resolutions on my display?
You can use the Display pane of System Preferences to specify how your display works. Not all options appear for all display models. By default the best resolution for your display will already be selected in System Preferences.
To select a different resolution, use the Scaled option. Some additional resolutions may be available when you hold the Option button.
I hope this information helps ....
