How does one put Mac to sleep using the keyboard (Lion)

I have put my Mac to sleep by pressing command, option & the eject key. Screen goes blank/dark compter a sleep.  I have noticed this not longer works.  The screen goes blank but come right back on.  Has that command been eliminated in recent 'upgrades'?

that still works for me.

  • How does one transfer CS5 actions for use with CS6?

    CS6 installation, which was uneventful, has transferred none of my actions from my copy of CS5. The CS5 actions are located in the actions folder of the APPLICATION/PHOTOSHOP CS5/PRESETS/ACTIONS.  The "actions" folder in application support/adobe in my library is empty, and has always been so.
    Only the CS6 default actions are located in the same folder for CS6.
    I use imac i7, lion.
    Note that i also have CS3 and CS4 on my machine. This due to recent upgrade to CS5 and recent upgrade to LION, and my general paranoia.
    Must i load each action into CS6, one at a time?
    thanks to any and all.

    Re: how does one transfer CS5 actions for use with CS6?
    On a Mac - There are multiple ways to do this.  I have done them both ways. In order to do this you need to know where you have your actions stored, and you can move them all at once if you have them stored in the same location.
    1. You can load an action ONE AT TIME into your actions palette by:
         A. Open up the action palette and click on the little arrow with 4 little horizontal lines next to it on the upper right corner of the actions palette.
         B. Select "Load Actions" and a Finder window will open up and you can search your computer through this window for your actions.
         C. Click on the action from the Finder window then click 'Open' at the bottom right of the finder window.
         D. To save these so that they appear every time you open up your actions palette, go back to the little arrow at the top right of the actions palette and when the drop down window opens- click on 'Save Actions'. It will select the location where the          actions are currently stored as the place to save them. If you want to change that path, you can do it at this time in the little path window.  I just leave it, since I keep all my actions stored in the same file.
    2. TO MOVE MULTIPLE ACTION SETS AT ONCE
         A. Open up CS6 (or CS5) and move the Photoshop workspace it to the right side of your computer screen so you can see your desktop on the left side.
         B. Open up your Finder search window from your dock (the square blue head icon thingy for those who are new to photoshop). Move this to the left side of your screen so you can see the Photoshop work space on the right and the Finder window          on the left. In the Finder window, navigate to the file where all your actions are stored, select all the actions in the file (command+A will select everything in the file if you are actively inside the open file) or you can select multiple files           individually by continuously holding down the command key and clicking on the different actions you want to move.
         C. With the Photoshop workspace visible on the right, and the actions palette open so you can see that the actions actually transferred - In the Finder window, click the selected actions you want to load and drag them over to the Photoshop           workspace.  I did this without an image open, I just dragged them onto the empty workspace.  The actions should all appear immediately in the actions palette that is open.
         D. To save these so that they appear every time you open up your actions palette, go back to the little arrow at the top right of the actions palette and when the drop down window opens click on 'Save Actions'. It will select the location where the           actions are stored as the place to save them. If you want to change that path, you can do it at this time in the little path window.  I just leave it, since I keep all my actions stored in the same file.
    I hope this helps. 
    and I hope there are no typos.

    How does one get a full screen when using air play on my tv when I'm mirroring,.? Thanks in advance

    The iPad's display is 4:3, so it cannot fill your TV screen, which is 16:9
    The only way is to change your TV settings and stretch the image.

    I have a MacAir, mid 2011 model, and want to view video on my TV.  I see that I need a mini display port to Hdmi but there are many of these.  What exatly do I need and how does one go about viewing a movie downloaded to the MacAir on a TV screen?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    That's exactly what you need. A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US
    This is the only way to view a video on the TV. After connecting your MacBook Air to the TV, image on your TV should show immediately. Then, press Command and F1 keys to mirror your MacBook Air display, and open the video

  • How does one turn off institution name, use graphic instead

    Instead of using Apple provided institution name, I'd like to turn that off and use the one embedded in the graphic I've already uploaded instead. How do you do that?

    The presence of a fixed provider name in the new iTunes U template is extremely unhelpful for us. Our brand requires a top banner clear of UI elements and other text. We're really stuck between working with the new template and our style police. I fully understand the requirement for a consistent UI, but this one simply doesn't work for us. I do understand that every shift in the basic iTunes Store template leads leads to a set of fixed parameters that the iTunes U team has to deal with.
    My plea is this. It has to be the case that store providers (be they music, movie or university organizations) require some flexibility to represent their brand correctly in the store. It would be really good if those of us who contribute to the store could have some input into the way the templates are put together. It is in all (Apple / providers) our interests to sort this out.

  • How does one put text on the spine?

    I'm a little confused about the difference between the version I'm creating and the template I start with. I start with a template, then resize and mess with the arrangement of the pictures. I move text boxes. All seems okay.
    I put a colored background on the front and back cover (by inserting a specially made pdf from Pages, a gradient color). The back spine remains white, and blank. How can I add text to the spine? And is there a way to have the color from the background bleed over the spine?
    Ben

    I certainly don't know how it was constructed, but I suppose the form was intended for people that use Word. If you were using Word, you would just select the "insert" key (or something - I forget) and type away. The text would type above the line. I thought maybe there was something like that in Pages. I find myself getting very frustrated using Pages and Numbers. They really aren't that easy to use. Word and Excel have them beat.

  • How can I configure Mac Mail to use the correct SMTP server?

    I have successfully set up Mac Mail to use a new e-mail account. Inbound and outbound mail is working just fine. However, I am seeing something odd when I create a new message or reply to an existing message. The outbound account that shows is not that which has been configured for the account. I can manually select the correct outbound account.

  • How smart is my mac? can use the AC adapter as a main power source and not charge the battery when its fully charged?

    does my mac use the AC adapter as the power source when its plugged in and the battery is full? is it smart to enough to split?

    The charging circuit charges until the battery reaches 100%, then shuts down the charging and goes to powering mode.  When the battery charge trickles down to 93-95% the charging circuit starts again and tops up the battery.  Will continue to operate like that if you leave it plugged in.  Keeping it plugged in does not harm the battery or risk overcharging.

  • How does upgrade for aperture work if use the trial to download?

    I have a new macbook pro. I have installed my Aperture 2.X on it. Can I download the trial and when I purchase get the "upgrade" price? If so, how does that work. Do I type in my 2.x serial number at some point?
    Or, if I purchase the Aperture disk, how does the upgrade work then?

    In either case, with AP 2.x installed, the AP 3 upgrade installer should see that and only require entry of the upgrade serial number.
    If doing a clean install with AP 2 not installed, you enter the AP 3 upgrade serial number and will get a second serial number field pop-up asking for a full version serial number (you would enter the AP 2 serial number at this point).
    Assuming nothing is amiss with your system, that should do it.
