ESC button put screen to sleep

Silly question...I am a new manioc owner and the other day I entered safari in full screen mode then hit esc to go back to normal....it put the screen to sleep. Is this something to worry about or just a fluke? Thanks in advance.

  • Keys CTRL-SHIFT-EJECT puts screen to sleep, WI-FI too on ML!

    Hello, i used to use CTRL-SHIFT-EJECT on my MBP mid 2009 with Lion to put my screen to sleep while downloading stuff or performing other things. After i upgraded to ML, with the same combination of keys, my wi-fi turns off too and as soon as i hit any key to turn the screen on, i can see my wi-fi icon connecting and after about 2-3 seconds i get back online. Is that a bug or supposed to be so?

    up?
    Anyone?

  • Put screen to sleep not computer

    Hi
    I am a Mac user and when i want to put the Macbook display to sleep I just go to a hot corner and it turns the screen off. The computer does not sleep but this saves power as the screen is the main power draw when at idle. I assume Windows has something
    like this as it is a great option. Forgive me but I cannot find a setting to do this and google was no help.
    Thanks for your help.

    In Windows about all you can do is to make a shortcut with the following target to invoke a screen saver:
    C:\Windows\System32\scrnsave.scr /s
    This won't power down the monitor, however.  The only way I've seen to make that happen is to wait out the time that's defined in the Power Plan Settings.

  • Energy saver does not put computer to sleep

    i have a new 15 inch macbook pro running 10.6.4. When the energy saver (i have checked all the proper buttons putting computer to sleep after 5 minutes of non use) puts the computer to "sleep" it actually does not sleep...it appears to sleep but the sleep light says illuminated (instead of pulsing) and then eventually the computer battery is drained and the computer needs a hard restart. All other sleep methods properly put it to sleep from choosing from the apple menu to shutting the lid...I assume there might be some program that is running in the background but when i look at console activity i see nothing noted...any thoughts as to how to solve this problem? thanks

    You might try a SMC reset:

  • I have an iPod touch, 3rd generation, and when I push the button to put it to sleep, my iPod takes a screen shot.  It's really annoying.  Is this a result from updating to iOS 4.3.3?  Also, my screen is EXTREMELY sensitive-breathe on it and it turns on.

    - Are you also having problems with the Home button?  Maybe it is sticking a little since to take a screen shot you depress the Home and Power/Sleep buttons at the same time.
    - I have not seen your problem discussed here before.
    - I would first try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next would be to restore the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • How to disable iMac screen and not to put it into sleep?!!!

    I would like to play a movie on my iMac but to watch it on my LCD TV. How to disable iMac screen and not to put it into sleep. PLS have in mind that ctrl+shift+ eject does not work, it makes my iMac screen go  black as well as the  tv screen.So far, i have red many articles concerning this subject, but no one seems to have the right answer. I simply can´t believe that apple did not think of it, as it is nothing new ....
    Thanks

    My brother has eight cats, so your not along. Fortunetly his go outside.
    I have been talking to the people over at macforums and they had some good thoughts. One guy suggested going analog and soldering in a rocker switch on the cable connecting a hub to the computer, turn off switch turns off keyboard and mouse.
    I was prepared to try that but a great idea came along. Arch, you might be interested in this too. Buy a cheap (found one locally for $20) usb kvm switch that takes one usb keyboard and mouse and connects it to two pcs/macs and only connect one of the outs to my system. There is a button to switch between the two, so when I want to disable the keyboard and mouse, I just switch it to pc2, which is not connected to anything.
    Cheap and easy solution. I wish I could of figured out how to do this with software, since there would be no money if it was freeware, but I guess you cant win them all.
    Thanks everyone for chiming in!

  • How to put q10 to sleep with power/lock button

    Hello! Love some help on this seemingly simple problem....
    I am new to BlackBerry from iphone and am very happy except I have to wait for the 30 second time out before I put into my pocket... because I can't figure out how to put it to sleep or at least activate the lock screen instantly.
    On or off the settings/lockscreen option doesn't seem to do anything. I have not a password lock activated and prefer not too if possible.
    I am on the latest os fyi.
    Can anyone help??
    Thanks ewan

    I'll be happy to help you with this.
    You can put your Q10 to sleep simply by pressing (and not holding) the power button up top. A quick press will put it to sleep.
    I hope that helps you.

    My Macbook Pro 17" 2.44ghz all of a sudden one day decided to not boot up. When the power button is pressed the sleep light in the front on the latch release turns on and there is a small running sound but it never boots up and the screen never lights up. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas?
    I'd love to repair it but not if it'll cost 500 bucks or more to replace the logicboard.
    I appreciate any help

    Lao Bo,
    yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
    find / -iname filename -print
    This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
    find /Users/username -iname filename -print
    Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
    cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
    If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
    ls /Volumes
    Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

    Just double click the 'TEST' which is written in code.Then create a GUI Status.In Application toolbar,type the name of the button you want(say BUTTON).Then double click that name.Then enter the ICON name and function text.Activate it.This itself will work.If you want all the functionalities,then try to do as Vinod told.

    When i select the "Full Screen" option in video streams (like youtube, veoh, anything like that) i can do that one(1) time second(2nd) time the screen goes blank and can only exit it with the escape(Esc) button and then i have to restart firefox and again i have my one "Full-screen Ticket"

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
