Display black leaving clamshell mode in sleep

Any way to wake-up / reactivate laptop built-in display without rebooting? My machine is in clamshell mode about 90% of the time-- closed, connected to a display and keyboard. Always works fine when booting in regular, laptop configuration. However, I usually just sleep the machine as I disconnect from the external devices. Later, when I open the machine as a laptop, its built-in display does not always turn-on-- machine is clearly running, will usually go back to sleep if closed, and will usually wake-up correctly if reconnected to external keyboard & monitor in clamshell mode. Other times, nothing seems to establish correct display operation to either laptop's built-in display or to the external one. Luckily, everything is always fine after a forced reboot. I'm looking for some key stroke or something to cause display settings to go back to regular laptop mode. (This may relate to earlier threads "Macbook Display Output problems" & "Macbook and external monitor problem" http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3531667&#3531667 and http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3928012&#3928012)
Thanks in advance

I am having a similar problem.
For a while, opening the laptop without the power cable would work, but now that solution doesn't work all the time.
I have my MacBook running in clamshell mode with a firewire HD, DVD Burner and iPod dock plugged in. I am also using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse (Apple). I always eject the Firewire drives and unplug ipods. Then I sleep, and undue the USB connector, monitor (DVI) then power.
Frequently, when I open up the MB later, as you described, the display stays off. I can often push the power button followed by the "S" key to sleep it, but waking it up again doesn't restart the display.
In my Console.app log (system.log) I sometimes find this:
"kernel[0]: display: Not usable"
For whatever that is worth. It is very frustrating because a restart is the only thing that seems to work, and that sometimes causes data-loss as not everything is saved. Arrgh.
Unfortunately, I don't have an answer.

  • Can no longer use an external display in closed clamshell mode

    Hi,
    I have this weird problem that just started couple days ago. 
    I own a MacBook Pro Early 2011 since March. 
    It's always hooked up to an external display and the MacBook Pro's LCD is turned off (closed clamshell mode).
    Lately, if the MacBook Pro's LCD is turned off, the external display won't show anything.
    But as soon as I open the lid, the external display will then mirror the MacBook Pro LCD.
    If I close back the lid, the external display will get blank.
    I also tried to change the display settings with no luck.
    In other words, I can no longer use my external display with the MacBook Pro in closed clamshell mode.
    I'm wondering if someone experienced this problem before.  Thanks for help.

    Hello sebastieng
    Open both, your MBP connected to the external screen. Open Preferences click here on "Displays" and then make the external Window to the main window by dragging the bar (line?) on top of the laptop window to the external window, which makes the second window the main window.
    If this does not help you may read this:

  • Not waking up with external display in closed clamshell mode.

    Hello all!
    I have the newest Macbook (late 2009), and have had it docked in a BookArc using an external display, keyboard and mouse. Everything has been working perfectly since I got it a couple months ago. I've traveled with the Macbook and redocked it at home a few times. This morning, I woke the computer and the display lit up as usual. A moment later, the display went black, said no signal and the power light went yellow (it's blue when operating). I hit the keyboard and clicked the mouse to wake it again to no avail. Took the Macbook out of the stand, opened the display and it works perfectly. Checked my energy saver settings, fine. Closed the clamshell, redocked, wont wake/start the external display. Took it out of the dock again, everything is fine, rebooted. Docked again, no wakey. I'm using it now as a normal laptop typing this. Any ideas as to suddenly why it wont wake/work with the external display? Thanks!

    Last week I bought an Acer X223W 22 inch display for my MacBook (13-inch, Late 2009) – Model A1342 Polycarbonate Unibody and an Apple Keyboard MB110LL/A - Also using a Apple wireless Magic Mouse but not a BookArc. ( Just leaving on the desk next to the Acer display )
    I've found that you have to have the MacBook connected to the AC Power Supply to keep the MacBook awake when trying to use an external display. It's kinda a pain sometimes, I usually boot up my MacBook before connecting the Display and Keyboard then once I'm logged in......
    and Once everything is loaded I plug in the Keyboard first then The Display adapter cable, Close the MacBook up then Click/Move the Magic Mouse ( System Preferences settings - Bluetooth ( Advanced: Allow Bluetooth Devices To Wake This Computer - checked ) Energy Saver AC and Battery set to 3 hours ( All other settings Unchecked )
    Sometimes takes a few clicks before the Desktop appears on the external display, Now once its on I can open the MacBook ( just enough to help keep it running cooler ) and unplug the AC Adapter unless it needs charging.

  • HT3131 External display in Closed Clamshell Mode

    This worked for me until today. Now the display just goes off on my external monitor if I close the lid of my macbook. It doesnt re-appear as it says in the article. MacOS X 10.7.5

    Congratulations on taking one more step in becoming more self sufficient in tech stuff.
    But I have to wonder why you spent so much on a Retina display only to have it cooking uselessly there.

  • Horizontal shifting bars on MBP 15 after disconnecting 24" LED cinema display and waking up from clamshell mode.

    I use my MBP 15 (late 2011) with 24" Apple LED Cinema display in a clamshell mode. After disconnecting external display, and opening display, it shows horizontal shifted bars, so it becomes completely unusable. Have to hard reset laptop. Any hints on how to resolve this? Thanks.

    Ok, more information for anyone that might care. The wake-up seems to be the familiar dark wake in order to go into hibernate mode. Except now, it's a death wake. Looking at the logs, I see that it happens exactly 70 minutes after sleeping, even though hibernatemode = 0 (which shouldn't hibernate at all!)
    So my power settings look like this:
    Currently in use:
    standbydelay         4200
    standby              1
    halfdim              1
    hibernatefile        /var/vm/sleepimage
    darkwakes            0
    gpuswitch            2
    disksleep            10
    sleep                10
    autopoweroffdelay    14400
    hibernatemode        0
    autopoweroff         1
    ttyskeepawake        1
    displaysleep         2
    acwake               0
    lidwake              1
    standbymode is 70 minutes, what a coincidence. I'm going to try setting it to 0 and see what that does.

  • How to get clamshell mode with Windows 7 on Macbook Pro?

    Hi,
    I am running Windows 7 on Macbook Pro using bootcamp. In OS-X, I can use this cool clamshell feature wherein after putting the MBP to sleep by closing the lid, as soon as I connect an external keyboard, mouse & monitor, I get the display on the monitor and immediately start using the keyboard & mouse too, converting the laptop instantaneously to a desktop.
    I am trying to do the same thing on Windows 7, close the lid of the laptop to put it to sleep, connect my external monitor, mouse & keyboard, but however the laptop never wakes up (even after moving the mouse & pressing keys in the keyboard). I tried several things in Windows 7. Under Power Options, Disabled "selective Suspend of USB", but that did not help. Next, in the "Device Manager", for the "Root USB Hub" & "Generic USB Hub", I tried to set "Allow this device to wake up the computer", under Properties -> Power Management, but that option is grayed out. I tried to experimented with Sleep types like S1, S2, S3, but except for S3, the other two are shown as "not supported by firmware" (using powercfg option in command line). Countless hours wasted on google search to get this working with no success
    I would greatly appreciate any help on this issue.
    Thanks,
    Sri

    @mkultraviolent,
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    That seems to be a useful workaround, but I do not find the option mentioned in Display/ Nvidia control panel. However, I find an option in the "Power Options" which has a "Do Nothing" option in the combo box to select what "Closing the Lid" does. Is that what u are referring to?
    Also, one problem in this approach is, if we do not sleep when the display is closed, that will keep the internal display (laptop's display) running in clamshell mode even after the lid is closed? (which will heat up the laptop badly).
    The exact option I am looking for is, while the laptop is in sleep & lid closed state, connecting the external keyboard/mouse/monitor and pressing a key in the keyboard or moving the mouse should wake the computer from sleep. If this happens, the internal display won't be running. I am able to achieve this in OS-X.
    In Windows7, I have a workaround by which I can almost achieve this result, wherein, while the laptop is in lid-closed, sleeping state, after connecting the external devices (keyboard/mouse/monitor), I open the laptop's lid for a fraction of second, quickly move my finger over the touchpad & close the lid again. This wakes up the laptop, & while it is waking up, Windows realizes that the lid is closed and that external devices are connected and gets into clamshell mode (I have verified that in this state, the internal display is not running).
    This workaround was fine so far, but I got this hengedocks docking station for my macbook, and I am no longer able to use the workaround, because, after plugging my macbook into the docking station, I cannot open the lid. So, the only option is to make Windows7 realize that external devices are connected & wake up on external keyboard stimuli (Hence the question).
    If my question is not clear, this video kind of explains what I want to achieve:

  • Clamshell Mode source resolution problem

    I own a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion, and I have used my laptop in clamshell mode once. After i changed the resolution to see which would work better with my Philips tv, I have never been able to use CS Mode again. I am unsure if it is a computer issue or the tv.
    I'm able to mirror displays and everything works great, but once I close the laptop to use CS Mode the tv says "Change source resolution". I have tried every resolution available in the scaled tab, and none seem to work.
    HELP please!

    I was having the same problem. I figured out that when I closed the lid my macbook was changing the resolution for the external to something that the monitor couldn't handle. I used VNC to remote into my computer and change the display manually - after that all was well. The monitor displays fine in clamshell mode now.

  • HT3131 Clamshell mode not working even after powering off and reconnecting display; external monitor goes black anyway

    After connecting an external monitor (non-Mac) to my MacBook (Mac OSX 10.6.6) w/proper adaptor, setting up to use clamshell mode as per manual, the external still goes black even after putting MacBook to sleep, disconnecting and reconnecting external and powering up again as suggested in Support. Displays are set to Mirror. Also, when I open Displays in System preferences, 2 different windows for Resolution settings appear. Where have I gone wrong? This monitor (Viewsonic) came with it's own software for setup on a Windows PC, but of course it is not being used on the MacBook.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi Mike,
    Yes I followed all the procedueres....except for waking the computer using a keyboard click. For obvious reasons one is just inclined to open the top of the MacBook to wake it when the external goes dark...I did that twice, until I realized that very last step was needed to 'wake' it. It worked. Something so simple, easy to overlook I guess.
    I did leave the monitors mirrored, fyi, if I don't then all I can access from the external are the resolution settings. This Viewsonic comes pre-loaded with Windows software of it's own and doesn't quite behanve the way my previous external did, but I got it figured out.
    Thanks for your response, tho!

  • External display has no menu bar/dock when waking from sleep in clamshell mode

    After Mountian Lion upgrade, external display shows no dock or menu bar when MBP wakes from sleep in clamshell mode.  I have to open and close the lid of the laptop to sort it out.  Any ideas?

    MacBook is connected to AC adapter. My MacBook is almost new, I have it for only few months, connector looks clean.
    I never had problems with AC adapter but I will try different wall outlet.
    It's a shame that I have no other device with display port output so I can not test if the problem is with my display. With dual DVI connected to my desktop computer display works fine... for more than one year now...

  • 10.9.3 - Display is black after waking up from sleep

    I have a Retina MacBook Pro that I connect to two monitors at work in clamshell mode, 1 via HDMI and 1 via the MiniDP -> DVI adapter. Typically, before leaving work I put the machine to sleep manually before unplugging everything.
    Since upgrading to 10.9.3, almost everytime I open the lid of my MacBook, the display is black and will never initialize. It's not off as I can see that the backlight is lit. I can't find any key combination that does anything other than just holding down the power button.
    This is a serious issue as it essentially prevents me from being able to continue any work from my desk to home.
    I've done the usual, cleared SMC, PRAM.
    Below are the logs prior to waking up the machine. It seems that it attempted to wake-up some 10 minutes before I opened the lid and didn't find any displays. It then goes into this weird mode.
    The 4:28 event is the "wake up" while it was still in my bag.
    At 4:41 is me actually opening the lid and getting the black screen.
    Any advice? This did not happen in 10.9.2, even once.

    Ok, more information for anyone that might care. The wake-up seems to be the familiar dark wake in order to go into hibernate mode. Except now, it's a death wake. Looking at the logs, I see that it happens exactly 70 minutes after sleeping, even though hibernatemode = 0 (which shouldn't hibernate at all!)
    So my power settings look like this:
    Currently in use:
    standbydelay         4200
    standby              1
    halfdim              1
    hibernatefile        /var/vm/sleepimage
    darkwakes            0
    gpuswitch            2
    disksleep            10
    sleep                10
    autopoweroffdelay    14400
    hibernatemode        0
    autopoweroff         1
    ttyskeepawake        1
    displaysleep         2
    acwake               0
    lidwake              1
    standbymode is 70 minutes, what a coincidence. I'm going to try setting it to 0 and see what that does.

  • Clamshell mode - Cinema display

    I have a 20" Apple Cinema display. Can anyone confirm that plugging the mouse/keyboard into the USB ports on the display is compatible with operating the MacBook in "clamshell" mode?
    Thanks-

    Hi,
    Do you have to set any preference in your MacBook to make this work? I had my MB connected to Gateway FPD 2200, keyboard and a mouse connected to MB through a USB port. But I could never get the Clamshell mode to work.
    When I close the lid, the MB goes into the sleep mode, so I just click a mouse button to wake it up. My MB seems to be coming out of the sleep mode because it asks me to type in my password, but as soon as I type the password, the external display goes black and I see the sleep indicator on my MB blink, meaning it is in the sleep mode.
    Thanks.

  • How to keep display on Macbook Pro instead of Clamshell Mode

    I have an extended desktop through a Mini-Display Port-to-VGA connection from my Macbook Pro (OSX Mountain Lion) to an external monitor. I have the Macbook Pro screen set up as the "main screen" (with the display bar on top). But everytime I close my macbook pro, the computer goes into clamshell mode and sets the extended desktop as my "main screen" which switches my display bar. Is there anyway to tell OSX ML to always keep the Macbook Pro screen as the default and not go into clamshell mode?
    This also creates a problem when I want to physically close my computer to allow to sleep, but instead goes into clamshell mode and extends the desktop to my external display. Any ideas?

    this is from another discussion:

    Re: MacBook doesn't sleep when closing lid with external monitor attached with Lion     Oct 14, 2011 7:01 PM    (in response to admgtz) 
    I would like to offer this solution.  I have a MacBook Pro with an external monitor, and, for a year and a half both displays slept when I closed the MBPS.  This behavior stopped when I installed Lion.  They would sleep when I removed the power cord, but what a pain that would be.  The command "pmset -g assertions" gave no indication of which process ought be preventing sleep.
    I contacted Apple support, and after some searching, the guy working with me found this thread, which was flagged as an Apple-approved solution:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3190417?start=165&tstart=0

    Aug 31, 2011 9:56 AM (in response to Bob_viking)
    Here's the command to make your laptop behave like it did Pre-Lion (courtesy of my friend):
    sudo nvram boot-args="iog=0x0"
    Works perfectly for me. If it screws up your system, just zap the PRAM next boot (cmd-opt-p-r) and you'll be back to the default Lion state. Or if you can still get into terminal, this command will get you back to Lion's default state as well:
    sudo nvram -d boot-args
    Enjoy!
    One snag was that I had to run it with the external monitor disabled, but it worked great!

  • HT3131 Why doesn't Apple mention using the Display control panel's "Arrange" feature to move the menu from the Macbook's display to the EXTERNAL display? THAT'S the real answer to make Clamshell mode work, but it's not mentioned in any Apple documentation

    After a recent OS update, Clamshell mode quit working. I couldn't find any Apple documentation
    that would help. So many people were stabbing around in the dark, until I finally found the following information
    that is lacking from any Apple documentation that I've been able to find.
    Here's what I found to be the most helpful:
    Forcing a MacBook to use the External Monitor:
    I tried about everything: Rebooting, switching off completely, removing and inserting the Thunderbolt->HDMI adapter etc.
    The only thing that finally worked was the following:
    1. Take it out of the dock and connect to Power and HDMI to the TV.
    Shut down the Mac. Turn it on and close the lid. It will now boot up on the external screen.
    Log onto the Mac, and put it in sleep mode (Option-Command-Eject).
    Put it back into the dock and wake it up with the spacebar.
    It should be OK now... until the next update...
    Note: One indication that you’re going to have extreme trouble with this is when (occasionally and without reason) the Mirroring Options icon shows up on the top icon bar.
    Other useful commands:
    “Command + F1” puts PC in Two-Screen MIRROR mode.
    If it’s REALLY being stubborn, do the following (Clamshell Must be open
    to see the arrangement tab.):
    In System Preferences > Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor (Yes, I know, it’s hard to grab ahold of it...) That will make your EXTERNAL monitor your main screen.
    You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV, make sure it’s asleep (Option+Command+Eject buttons) or your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.

  • HT3131 Operating MBP in closed clamshell mode with external display

    I have a new MBP retina display.  Trying to operate in a closed clamshell mode.  I connect a USB keyboard and a wireless mouse.  My external display is a Dell 2007FP display screen connected via a VGA adapter.  Whenever I close the computer lid to operate in clamshell mode the screen goes to sleep/power save mode.  Have tried various combinations of attaching keyboard and mouse first then screen, switching computer off on etc.  The external display states there is "no signal coming from computer"...any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciate

    Congratulations on taking one more step in becoming more self sufficient in tech stuff.
    But I have to wonder why you spent so much on a Retina display only to have it cooking uselessly there.

  • External Mac 23 Cinema  Display and clamshell mode

    I can get my MBP to sleep and wake up with an external keyboard, mouse when connected directly to my laptop usb ports. But if I plug in the Cinema cable to the laptop and plug my keyboard and mouse into the ports on the back of my Cinema display I can't wake up the laptop to use in clamshell mode.
    Is this normal?
    I would like to plug in my mouse/keyboard into the Cinema ports since all the connections from the Cinema to laptop are on one side of my laptop for easy connect/disconnect.
    Now I have one USB on left of laptop and one on right side.
    I know this is small item.

    Many thanks!
    Guess I will have to look for a compatible stand alone tuner for the monitor; buy a new monitor; buy a separate TV; or keep the computer tied up to use our eyeTV device. Any other suggestions?
    The stand alone tuner to monitor seemed the most efficient in terms of us not having to buy a TV (more clutter. . .), or keep the computer hooked up to watch TV when someone else might be wanting to use the computer at the same time. Also get multiple hi-res uses for our monitor.
    Oh well. Look forward to any other suggestions if there are alternatives to the above. In any case, much appreciate your reply.
