How to keep file sharing on while MacBook lid closed?

would like to keep file sharing on while lide closed on macbook...so i can access files with other device.

i really dont want to be needing to buy a extra screen just to get something working that i had going before...
i do have a bluetooth mouse attached and everytime i move it..the macBook seems to start up but then immediatly goes back to sleep..playing dead
all i want is that file sharing continues when i close the lid...
Do you think that it might be a hardware problem?
Or maybe software...because since I downloaded Lion...screensaver has been jumping in randomly too...I know it's nothing special since many people have encountered this issue and i just reinstalled lion and it seems to be fine so far....
anyhow... still hoping to find the right solution...
But thanks for the help..really appreciate it...

    You can't. And you shouldn't due to heating issues.
    There are however 'hacks' that allow you to bypass
    this.

    This may be true of overheating, but ONLY in the iBooks and very old laptops, if you think about it what is the difference between native clamshell mode (Using the monitor/keyboard etc) and the hacked clamshell mode? does plugging a screen in to the laptop some how create more ventilation :S
    This rumor is really really wrong, and as stated only affected the old machines which were not capable of native clamshell mode, but of course we keep the warnings there because we dont want to be sued if some idiot places it in there laptop bag while rendering a movie.
    PS. If anyone can give me evidence to prove otherwise i will add it to the investigation that im slowly compiling to "bust" this annoying myth

    unless you're sharing very large files, speed will be more or less the same using any of the above connections.

    you can also use firewire Target Disk Mode.

  • How to get file from server while click on link

    Hi,
    i created on link and i gave one server path to select file from server but while clickinng on link it no displaying any thing.
    following is the Destination url that i gave for the item.
    /u08/app/appvis/xxex/inst/xxex_apps/xxrbe/logs/appl/conc/log/
    please tell me how to get file from server while click on link.

    Ok I got your requirement now.
    If you are getting file names from view attribute then you should not be adding destination URI property for the link.
    Instead you can use OADataBoundValueViewObject API.
    Try below code in your controller processRequest method:
    I am assuming that you are using classic table.
    Also in below example it considers OAMessageStyleText and you can replace it with link item if you want.
    OATableBean tableBean =
    (OATableBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("<table item id>");
    OAMessageStyledTextBean m= (OAMessageStyledTextBean)tableBean.findChildRecursive("<message styled text in table item id>");
    OADataBoundValueViewObject tip1 = new OADataBoundValueViewObject(m, "/u08/app/appvis/xxex/inst/xxex_apps/xxrbe/logs/appl/conc/log/"+"<vo attr name which stores file name for each row>");
    m.setAttributeValue(oracle.cabo.ui.UIConstants.DESTINATION_ATTR, tip1);

    thank you for the quick reply.  I have turned on file sharing on my iMac and went to server connect on the Air.  I am connected to time capsule.  Now what?  It shows a data folder and when I open that, I see all the computers in the house.  If I double click on the iMac, nothing happens.  I'd like to be able to selectively choose the data and the apps to copy onto the Air.

    We are using VB .Net 2003 + Crystal Report 2008 SP2 up to Fix Pack 2.6
    When the VB program spools crystal report files to print queue, the print queue only shows "Crystal Report" for each document.  How to keep the original file name?  In the past when we were using Crystal Report 11, the original file name can be shown in the print queue.

  • How to make File-Sharing work with Firewall?

    Hello everybody,
    I try to connect two laptops via FileSharing, running 10.5.5. Both have the following settings:
    - Sharing: File-Sharing (AFP) on
    - Firewall:
    + Only allow essential services (wording might differ, I translated it)
    + File-Sharing (AFP) appears in the text area below
    I can see the other laptop in the Finder sidebar, but connecting fails, the firewall telling me that the connecting attempt was refused without giving any hint why. This is happens vice versa as well.
    Allowing all incoming connections will solve the problem, but since it introduces other difficulties, this is not an option in my setting.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Regards
    Jim

    Hi Jim,
    I'm glad it worked for you as well. As for being asked to play gate keeper to allow incoming connections, I would note which applications request this. You can add the application to the application firewall list ( third option) by dragging it into the box.
    There, you can choose either allow incoming or block incoming.
    Perhaps by not having a particular application sitting in there causes you to be asked all the time.
    You will have to decide what you want in there.
    In that window there is file sharing and printer sharing placed in there, and I have added two items underneath, Safari and RealPlayer, both set to allow incoming. I had previously set them to block incoming, but saw no difference in their operation, so I think it is more important to have the application sitting in there, than the choice of allow or block.
    Again it may be that this new Application Firewall, once introduced to these applications, may stop requesting your assistance, regarding the allow incoming query.
    regards roam

  • HT1549 How to do file sharing between OS X platforms without airport, airdrop, or router.

    How do you do file sharing between OS X platforms without: airport, airdrop, a router, or existing intranet?

    All Macs for many years have included Airport WiFi.  You should be able to create an Ad-Hoc network between any 2 Macs and transfer files via file sharing
    The Airport icon on the menu bar -> Create Network on one Mac.  On the other Mac, choose -> Join Other network.
    Besides a Firewire cable, you should also be able to connect an ethernet cable between any 2 Macs and they should see each other.
    There is always a USB thumb drive and sneaker-net (hand carry files between systems via the Thumb Drive).
    You could get a WiFi router, and use it to create a local network where all the Macs in the home could see each other.  That will work even if you do not have an internet connection.
    You could get an ethernet switch and plug all the Macs into the switch via ethernet cables and they would all see each other.

  • Wireless file sharing between two MacBooks

    I feel like this is kind of a silly question, but here goes:
    Is it possible to set up wireless file sharing between two macs when there is no wireless network available.
    For example, if I am on a plane (with no wi-fi) and wan to wirelessely connect to my partners macbook to browse his hard drive, can I do it? Right now, I use a firewire cable when flying, but would love to not have to.
    Thanks for the help.
    Message was edited by: kr and cr

    Yes, it's possible to do.
    You setup one of the Macs to act as a base station of sorts. If you've got the AirPort Status menu shown you can just use the 'Create Network…' option in that menu to create a new wireless network hosted on this Mac. Just tell the other Mac to connect to that network using the name and security credentials you specified when you created the network, and you're done.

  • Desperate - file sharing issue from MacBook to IMAC

    I'm reaching the end of my tether - I am using a new IMAC as my central computer which gets backed upto onto a time capsule - I have a MacBook which I wish to be able to access the files on the IMAC, make changes and save ( word, excel) - this is so that when my wife is at the main computer I can still work on my college work that’s on the IMAC.
    I log into both machines with the same user / password - on the IMAC I have enabled file sharing for the documents folder and given myself read& write access - I have done this via the system preferences method ( using the sharing option) and the get info method by right clicking on the folder - via the get info method I have enabled ' apply to enclosed items ' so that the permission rights are applied to all files in the folder.
    I access the IMAC from the finder window on the MacBook - connect as me ( ie the same user and password that I have logged onto both machines with ) and then find the file that I need to work on - it opens but when I come to save its says the fie is read only - what is odd is that on the same file from the MacBook I can change the name of the file and even delete it remotely from the MacBook.
    I have tried various permutations to see if I can ascertain the route cause – for example - if in the sharing preferences window I activate file sharing, in the shared folders window I activate the relevant documents folder on my IMAC but clear the 'users' list of everyone including myself (which in theory should stop me accessing the file on the IMAC from the MacBook I’m assuming ) then when I try to access the folder /files from my MacBook I still get the same issue - I can open docs but can't save
    help ....help .... help .....!

    If you are logging in to the account on the remote machine, you already have read/write privileges. If it is the default ~/Documents folder you used the "apply to enclosed items" on, you passed on the "everyone deny delete" ACL entry that was on the folder - you should never use the "apply to enclosed items" option for system created folders. What are the permissions amd ACL entries for the files and the enclosing folder?

  • How do I set up file sharing between my MacBook Air and IPad?

    I'd like to store the files on the MBA and view / edit /use them my iPad and iPhone.

    You can set up "iCloud" on all of them and select there to sync your Documents.  You must be running Mountain Lion on the MBA and iOS 6 on the iPhone and iPad in order to use iCloud:

  • How to share files from iMac to MacBook Pro thru USB

    I would like to network my new MacBook pro to my iMac with a USB connection. I want to transfer files from my iMac to the MacBook. I have the cable connected, but don't know how to have the two computers "link".
    Please advise.

    When you log into a Mac, no matter from where, you must log in as a user on that Mac (although you can log in as guest, if the sharing preferences are set correctly).
    So, when you try to connect to one or the other Mac, are you logging in as a user on that Mac? Does that user have access to the files you are trying to share?
    If you have a userA on MacA and userB on MacB, If you try to connect to MacA from B, you must log in using credentials of userA. Then, you'll have access to anything userA has access to.
    You can also create Sharing Only users in the Sharing Preferences when you share out a folder. Just select New Person when you add people to the sharing list. You can then log into that Mac with that username and password and it will give you access to the folders allowed for that user.

  • How to keep files from disappearing when using Dynamic link to AE in PremProCS4?

    I am at my wits end here and hope someone can offer a solution.  I use Dynamic Link in PremProCS4 to link a clip in my timeline to AfterEffects.  I follow the instructions in my book and everytime I close my files and reopen..I loose the clip along with the effects...I get the place card instead.  Here are the steps I do as per the Adobe Classroom in a Book Explains:
    I double click on my .MTS file in the Project Board so it comes up on my Source Screen.
    I take select the part of the clip I wish to use in my timeline and drag it to the appropriate spot on a video layer.
    I then right click the "clip" and select "Replace With After Effects Comp"
    I then name the new file.  name or whatever.aep
    It opens in AE
    I then apply two simple effects... keying and a cartooning effect I use from NewBlue Cartooner.
    As instructed I then go directly back to PremPro and do a "render" by pressing the Enter Key.  This does not work since I only get a yellow bar above the clip instead of a red on???
    So then I save the PremPro project and close it then go to the AE project, save and close it.
    When I reopen PremPro the file has a place card in it and in AE it says I am missing a file.
    I have tried many different ways to do this process including re-importing the .MTS file.
    I can close PremPro and reopen it and all is the same as long as I don't close the AfterEffects project.  Once AE is closed it looses the file.  On a note here I keep all my computer source files in the same place and it never changes plus they are in my PPro Project as well.  I never change the names so this isn't this reason.
    Is there a tried and true method to select a piece of clip in the video layer in Prem Pro and add effects from AE and not have it misplace the files?
    Thanks  Kate

    Hi Curt, and thank you for taking the time to respond.
    Its odd how I've been trying to figure this one out for a long time and I tried your suggestion but it didn't make any difference..darn.
    In the AE forum they say this is quite common and no one really knows why...double darn.
    So I went back with a fresh mind this morning and tried something else..and it worked...so far anyway.
    So far I figured it out... I guess I just needed to ask the question and write it all out to help get my brain working in the right direction: 
    Since the normal process to do this doesn't work for me ..and apparently many others..here is the solution for those of you having similar issues.
    In PremPro select the desired clip you wish to place effects on
    Rename it and save
    R click and "Replace with AE composition"
    Name new file
    You will see three files pop up in AE in the project panel.
    The original source clip .. in my case.. shows an icon that lets me know it isn't the true file.
    Highlight this file with a click and then go Ctrl H (for PCs)
    The group of computer source clips you use for your project will come up.. double click on the original clip you had imported into your PPro project.
    The source file icon in AE will change to an icon that denotes the true file...save
    Go to your still open Ppro project and make sure it carried the effects over..save.
    Now you can save and close the AE project.
    So for this works for me today and I hope this helps anyone else dealing with a similar issue.
    Thanks.

  • How to keep files in the cloud until I actually want to copy them to my hard disk?

    I have an iCloud Drive 1TB tier and have approx. 500gb of data at present that I would like in the cloud however I cant seem to get the data to stop showing on my local drive. How do I get the data to be in the cloud until I want it - OS X Yosemite

    The procedure below will reset the permissions of a home folder in OS X 10.7.4 or later. If you're running an earlier version of 10.7, update to the latest version first. This procedure should not be used in OS X versions older than 10.7.4.
    Back up all data before you begin.
    Step 1
    Click the Finder icon in the Dock. A Finder window will open.
    Step 2
    Press the following key combinations, in the order given:
    Command-3
    Shift-command-H
    Command-I
    The Info window of your home folder will open.
    Step 3
    Click the lock icon in the lower right corner and authenticate with the name and login password of an administrator on the system. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Step 4
    In the Sharing & Permissions section of the window, verify that you have "Read & Write" privileges. If not, use the "+" and "-" buttons in the lower left corner to make the necessary changes.
    Step 5
    By default, the groups "staff" and "everyone" have "Read Only" privileges. With those settings, the files at the top level of your home folder will be readable by other local users. You can change the privileges to "No Access" if you wish, but then your Public and Drop Box folders will be inaccessible to others, and Personal Web Sharing won't work. Most likely, you don't need to change these settings.
    Step 6
    If there are entries in the Sharing & Permissions list for users or groups besides "me," "staff," and "everyone," delete them.
    Step 7
    Click the gear icon at the bottom of the Info window and select Apply to enclosed items... from the drop-down menu. Confirm. The operation may take several minutes to complete. When it does, close the Info window.
