  • How can I turn my Macbook Pro display off instantly?

    Hello.
    I love having my laptop connected to my TV via HDMI cable to watch TV shows. But I dont like putting it in Clamshell mode because I have a VLC Remote app that lets me put the next film on instantly without touching the laptop.
    I like to have the laptop display fully off / black so that i'm not see two images (TV and Laptop), so what I do is hold the brightness key down to turn off the display.
    Does anyone know of a menu bar app, or a command to turn the display off instantly with a single click?
    Thank You

    No eject key on new Macbook Pros...
    I guess it depends on you Macbook Pro.  My 15" Macbook Pro (2011) has the eject key to the right of the F12 key far upper right corner of the keyboard.
    My wife's 13" Macbook Pro Retina (2013) has a power button there, HOWEVER, Control-Shift-Power does exactly the same as Control-Shift-Eject.  That is to say Control-Shift-Power will turn off the screen.
    So assuming you have a power button, use
         Control-Shift-Power
    NOTE:  my older 2011 Macbook Pro has a power button in the case, not part of the keyboard, AND Control-Shift-Power also works on my older Macbook Pro to turn off the screen.

    Unfortunately, that is not possible. The computer only can "output" your display image, it cannot "input" an image from an external computer and display it on your MacBook's retina display.

  • How do I disable AirPlay on my Macbook Pro

    I don't understand how to disable AirPlay on my macbook pro. It keeps asking for a password...In which i never set! Now my garageband is soundless and a pop up keeps coming on my screen asking for the password.

    You had to have set up a password when the machine was first purchased. Registration will not let you get past it when you boot up the first time. You'll have to reboot holding down the Command and R keys at the same time, select Recovery Partition, and in the menus at the top there should be an option to reset password.
    More about recovery partitions is at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

  • HT204291 my airplay from my MacBook Pro to my tv through my apple tv is fuzzy- it just started being fuzzy about 2 months ago- it used to be clear- anyone else have this problem?  How can I fix it?

    my airplay from my MacBook Pro to my tv through my apple tv is fuzzy- it just started being fuzzy about 2 months ago- it used to be clear- anyone else have this problem?  How can I fix it?

    Hi freezebri,
    The following steps may resolve your issue:
    Apple TV: Basic troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1551
    If your TV screen appears fuzzy or black (you see no video)
    Make sure the television you are using supports the Apple TV resolution requirements. Please see the Apple TV technical specifications.
    When you connect power, check to make sure the LED turns on. If the LED is not on, then verify with a known good power outlet or connect something else to the outlet you're using for Apple TV and make sure it works (such as a lamp or clock).
    Make sure you're using the correct video cables and that they are connected firmly to Apple TV and to your TV.
    Connect the HDMI cable directly into the Apple TV and your television, remove any third party devices or adapters.
    Make sure the input setting you've selected on your TV matches the input you have your video cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your TV for more information.
    Change the Apple TV resolution by pressing and holding the Menu and Up button for six seconds. The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals. Pressing the Selectbutton will immediately cycle to the next resolution.
    If you are connected via HDMI, try unplugging and replugging your HDMI cable.
    If HDMI isn't working on an Apple TV (1st generation), try component cables instead (and disconnect the HDMI cable temporarily). Read more about HDMI vs component video.
    Hope this information helps ...

  • My macbook pro displays a folder with a question mark on it when it turns on. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    My macbook pro displays a folder with a question mark and won't open. What does this mean and how can I fix it?

    it means your HD and the software can't find each other, the following article tells how to troubleshoot this issue:
    https://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
    hopefully you have backup of your data since sometimes this means the HD is crashing.
    if the article doesn't resolve the issue i would take the mac to apple store or service provider and have it looked at, the following link tells how to find one close to you:

    good luck!!

  • How do I use my macbook pro lid closed

    How do I use my macbook pro lid closed?

    Well what i'm trying to do is keep file sharing on while macBook is closed so i can access files through "newtwok" (Back to my mac) with my imac...
    Ideally i would then control my macBook with screen sharing on my imac while the MacBook is stored behind my iMac...
    Somehow it worked before but now it stopped...and everytime i close the lid ..mac book pro goes black screen and completly disconnects from the newtwork...
    Everything works fine with lid open..
    I am trying to do this because i have a new imac with thunderbold and an older macbook pro with mini display port..and as you might already know...you canot connect these thow devices using thunderbolt cable...which really *****....there is also no adaport enabling this...and i really dont need to buy another mac book that just has one more hole in it >.<
    Anyway..hope there is a solution somewhere to keep file sharing going while lid down..
    regards remo
