How can I turn off the screen while keeping the mac awake?

I am using teamviewer to remote connect to my office Imac from home. However, every time I connected, my imac screen will turn on and everyone else in the office can see what my imac is doing..
Is there some method to turn off the screen while keeping the mac awake, so I can remote connect to it?
PS: I am using OSX 10.7.3

Energy Saver, you can keep the computer awake while the screen saver shuts the monitor off but I'm not sure that would do it for you.

    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't. Mirroring is just what it says, it mirrors exactly what is on your computer screen, if there is nothing on your computer screen, that's what you will see on your TV screen.

  • HT201150 How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?

    How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?
    With the position of the power button on the Retina MacBooks, any mistake turns off the screen in the middle of a presentation or any activity using a projector or big screen — a huge waste of time to wake up the display, enter password, have the projector sync back, watch audience disconnecting from what was being discussed, etc.
    This is very annoying, and seems to add to the increasing collection of options Apple decided to make by itself instead of allowing the user to choose.
    Come on Apple guys, I'm using my Mac because I want options and lots of preferences to tweak to my needs.
    If I needed the lobotomized version I'd be using my iPad!
    Any way (official or hack) to change this button back to its proper funcionality?
    Thanks!

    Not what you want, but you can get the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by holding the power button

  • How can I turn off sound controll whele on the Satellite A200

    How can I turn off the external sound controll in front of laptop - the wheel? It does not work, sound volume is permanently muted.
    OS: MS Windows XP
    Thanks

    Thank you Jaba,
    it is Toshiba Satellite A200 Series. Drivers, its configuration and configuration of operating system is OK. The wheel is mechanical damaged, so that is the point. I have to disable its function in operating system. But where can I disable it? I have tried to uninstall Toshiba utilities (controls, hotkeys), reinstall drivers. I have tried to find an option in BIOS, there was no one.
    btw: I am a linux administrator, but I have advanced knowledge of windows systems so you can be short.

  • How can I turn off my iphone without using the power off button

    I dropped my Iphone 5s in water and now the screen won't allow me to slide it over to power off. There's some water in the screen and it's not working correctly.

    Press and hold the "Sleep/Wake" button located on the top of the iPhone.
    Hold the "Home" button on the front of the iPhone while continuing to hold the Sleep/Wake button.
    Release the buttons as soon as the iPhone's screen turns black to turn it off. Do not continue to hold the buttons or the device will reset.
    Hope it can help you.
    Merry Christmas!

  • How can I turn off data roaming while overseas?

    I will be traveling and I don't want to incur any (very expensive) data roaming charges. How do I disable that function on my iPhone? Also, is it true you have to call your service provider (like AT&T) to turn off texting?

    Just put your phone in Airplane mode. This turns off all iPhone radios, but you can go back into settings & turn both WiFi & Bluetooth back on. Data roaming should be off by default: Settings>General>Network...

  • How can we turn off auto-corre​ction in the forum search?

    This recent auto-correction in the forum search is driving me nuts. It is way too overzealous. There is no way to win the fight!
    Example:
    Try to search for "voight" (the famous lineshape).
    It seaches for "right" instead
    There is a small link to actually search for "voight" so we press that.
    So far so good.
    Now I want to limit searching for only my posts, so I enter "altenbach" on the left.
    Now the search term switches back to "right" .... grrrrr!!!!! (see video)
    Again, there is a small link to actually search for "voight" so we press that. (see video)
    Now we are back to #5, because the "by altenbach" has disappeared again. (see video)
    Repeat steps 5..8 forever. No escape to get what we actually want.
    In the video you see how the "by altenbach" disappears once we click on "search instead for voight".

  • Help: How Can I turn off a sound bound to the CTRL key?

    Hi, I made a small Unity3D game using the CTRL key as the fire button. There I added a sound to the CTRL key. Now all of a sudden that key always makes that sound "on mouse release". No help even after deleting the sound file, clearing the PR Ram, making restarts. OS X Yosemite on my iMac 5k will always make that sound initially only active during the game. Any help appreciated. Thanks Rolf

    Problem found - there was a hidden web page open with a similar game that accepted the CTRL key. :-)

  • How can I turn OFF Google instant ,and remove the Magnifying glass Hinderance

    Firefox recently asked me to upgrade from 3.6.13 to 3.6.15 stating that 3.6.15 was more stable and addressed certain security issues. When doing a web search with Google through Firefox 3.6.13 I had the option (on the right hand side of the page) to either enable or DISABLE Google instant search which I rapidly did. Unfortunately in F-F 3.6.15 even though I select Instant search and [preview of webpage] to be OFF it seems to switch itself back on again.It only allows me to search one page Then Fades Out page 2 onwards and then Siezes up entirely. So am constantly having to switch Firefox off then start it up again before performing a new search. Please help me to permanently Disable Google Instant search and Preview of Webpage.

    Try to clear the Google cookies and redo those Google options.

  • How can i turn off charging beep?

    how can i turn off charging beep?

    Use the mute/silent switch on the side of the phone. After that it will vibrate if you connect to charge it using the computer or adapter. You might want to turn the volume on again after that, because that will also mute your ringtone.

  • How can I turn off Ken Berns effect in slide shows

    How can I turn off Ken Berns effect as the default in Aperture slide shows.

    Depending on what theme you choose (this would be for the "Classic" theme), it should be under the "Crop" setting, which will be a choice in Default Settings when you're in your slideshow, on the right side of the window. For crop choose "Fit in Frame" or "Fill Frame" as opposed to "Ken Burns." You can also do this for individual slides, turn it on or off...
    Hope that helps.
