How to "Show notifications when display is off"

Hi,
In Mavericks Beta the notifications from Mail, Messages, Facebook etc. were displayed even when the screen was turned off. It lit up the screen for a while showed the notification for few seconds and then the screen was turned off again. I really liked that feature cause I could see whats happening on my iMac even if I wasn't using it.
In this Apple document this feature is still described http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14360?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Show notifications when display is off or locked
Get alerts when your display is off or your Mac is locked.
But the option to enable it is no longer in the Notifications settings, instead there is "Show notifications on lock screen".
So please let me ask, is there some possibility to show notifications on turned off display? Maybe by editing some preference file or something like that?
Thank you very much for answers.
Best Regards
Milan

I too would like to know a way around this problem. In the prior version of iCal, you could enable alarms only when iCal was running. I routinely sync three computers, sometimes hours to days apart. So unless I remember to turn alarms off prior to shutting down the machines, the alarms are not properly updated upon syncing when an idle machine is turned back on.
Hope this makes sense. Either way, it would have been better if Apple had not gotten rid of this feature in the new iCal.

  • When display switches off I can't get it back without forced restart

    When display switches off due to low battery power & I can't get it back even when I plug in to the mains and have to force the PC to restart.
    Is there a pref somewhere to disable this?

    Hello
    When the display goes off exactly? How much capacity has battery at this time? 5%? More?
    Try to set this to higher level.
    When you work with your notebook and battery level comes to low battery level and the alarm alert will be shown in task bar but you will be able to continue your work several minutes or to connect AC power supply.
    I am afraid your notebook reaches critical battery level and then is maybe too late for any action.
    Set Low battery level to 10% and when the notification is shown connect AC adapter immediately.
    I presume the display must not be off at all.

  • When display turns off system improperly ejects Western Digital external hard drive. Yosemite 10.10.2

    Why does computer improperly eject my Western Digital (My Book for Mac) external hard drive when display turns off. And how do I stop this from happening.
    Yosemite 10.10.2
    27 inch iMac
    3.2 GHz processor
    intel core i5

    Your External Western Digital usually has Utilities from the company that can be downloaded from their site@http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=133&sid=157&lang=en
    run their scan for errors and post back. Also do you have Time Machine always running at time of incident?

  • How to reduce Notification popup display time?

    I have Notifiation center set to show banners.  When I get a notification, an alert (pop up) appears in the upper right of the screen.  The alert hangs around for a while.  Seems like every time one of these displays, I need access to the area it is covering.  But I have to wait for the popup to hide.
    Is there a way to reduce the time that these alerts are visible?
    Also, is it possible to have notifications cleared out after x number of days?

    Hi 4thSpace,
    The information below explains all of the available options for Notifications.
    Mac Basics: Notification Center
    You have the option of reducing the number of notifications you receive to 5 or 1.
    You can't control how long the notification is on your screen, but you do have the ability to dismiss it:
    Tip: To dismiss an Alert or Banner without interacting with it, place the cursor over the banner and use a two finger swipe to the right.
    I hope this information helps ...

  • Connection to HDMI Mini when display is off is slow with ARD 3.x

    Anybody notice, well I don't know how you couldn't, that you connect to an HDMI Mini with the display off that the CPU is at 100% and you can't do anything until you turn on the display?  It is easy to reproduce.  I have my Mini hooked to a Yamaha A2000 stereo and when it is off any connection is so slow it is impossible to do anything until the stereo is turned on.  Turn it off and it will go back to 100% cpu usage.  I've seen so many posts about the 100% cpu usage I'm wondering if this is the root cause of issues.
    Dan

    I found out if I unplug the HDMI cable then I can remotely connect.  I'm wondering if the stereo I have the mini hooked up to is causing the issue or the mini is the issue.  I'll see what setup options I have on the stereo.

  • Slow rendering on rMBP when display is off

    I'm batch rendering Premiere Pro CC timelines to MPEG 2.
    These are 3 minute movies that take about 30 minutes when I render them direct from Premiere Pro CC.
    When I queue them in AME the rendering goes slower.
    Renderings then take up to 40-50 minutes. So in AME it's slower. But these times are do-able.
    The rMB from late 2013 is blowing like hell (that's a good thing becuae then rendering goes fast). But when my display turns off after 15 minutes the rendering slows down. Renderings then take up to almost 2 hours per movie. The blowing of the fan stops when the display is off. But apparently the rendering speed as well.
    In the preferences panel from the Mac "put hard disks to sleep when possible" is unchecked.
    Of course I can have my screen always turned on. But another rMBP from mid 2012 has burn-in issues because of that.
    So I'd rather have AME working when the display is off.
    Could this also be an Open CL thing?
    **UPDATE**
    Rendering also slows down when minimizing the AME window!! It has to be active otherwise my rendering slows significantly down.
    I hope there is a solution for this

    Go to System Preferences>Energy Saver. Set the slider labeled "Computer Sleep" to "Never". When the Computer is sleeping, all currently running processes are put on pause. Your "Display Sleep" and "Computer Sleep" were probably both set to 15 minutes, so that it appeared as if the display going to sleep was the reason the blowing fan stopped.

  • How to disable alarms when iCal is off

    Hi all,
    I might be missing something here, but I believe there used to be two settings to turn off alarms in 10.4 and 10.5:
    1) disable all alarms
    2) disable alarms when iCal is off
    Did option 2) disappear in 10.6? I am really missing this feature.
    Thanks for your insights

  • How to receive notifications when a review is made in the app store on our App

    Do the app stores provide a mechanism for app publishers to receive notifications when a review is made in the app store?
    Thanks!!

    Hi Friend,
    You just write down the name of the app or for what the app is used for (eg, write down Notes and then will appear a lot of options), then download what you wish.
    Hope it will be helpful

  • Not showing user online, yet shows me when they logged off

    When I hover over one of the screen names in my "offline" list, it shows me how long ago they logged off, yet I didn't see them online. I'm wondering if this means they blocked me, or if they were just logged on as invisible. It just seems odd that it would show me how long ago they logged off if I was blocked. Someone please ease my paranoia.

    Hi,
    Off Line Buddies (greyed out) ones show me nothing other than Scree Name if I have a real name in Leopard and Snow Leopard. (and a larger Buddy Pic)
    Away Buddies do show on some if they have gone Idle (No Keyboard/mouse input to computer) as well as Away.
    (Idle but Available Buddies go Amber in iChat)
    I tried this for a Significant number of Offline Buddies just in case one was Invisible and showed differently, but Nada.

  • How to show the LOV display column in a field of type ''popup''

    Hi All,
    I've defined a form (no matter table/master-details/procedure) with a text item of type "popup", and have chosen a specific LOV.
    At runtime, after the user chooses a value within that field, He sees the return column, (not the display column) of the LOV.
    This behavior is different in field type combobox,
    where the user sees the display column, ( this is the expected behavior when dealing with LOVs ).
    How can I, in a popup type field, show the user the LOV display column rather than its code ?
    Any help will be appreciated !

    I had a Tar on this a while ago. Oracle's response is that's the way it is, but :
    The problem is that form is storing the ID in the table but when customer queries the form, the ID is displayed, which means nothing to the user.
    This is working as it should by design.
    An alternative is to add a non-database field to the form to display the name based on the ID fetched from the table or to build the form in a manner that it will query
    from both tables, the one storing the ID and the one storing the name, as a loookup table.
    Suggested review Notes: 125272.1, 124072.1, 263923.1.
    I believe Note:125272.1 would work for you if you have a primary LoV displaying the name but populating the ID from the first table. The second LoV can query from the table storing the name (instead of making it a non-database column). When the first LoV is used, the second will be refreshed, displaying the actual name on the for
    m on your non-database field, just for display purposes.

  • Back light remains on when display turns off when on battery

    Hi,
    Sorry for the long subject line, but it basically sums up the issue.
    I'm using Windows 7 64-bit on a T61 with nVidia Quadro NVS 140M discrete graphics. I installed the latest Windows 7 drivers from Lenovo, including the driver for the video card. This was a completely fresh install of Windows 7.
    Everything seems to be running great, with the exception of the LCD back light when I'm on battery. I have the power settings set to "turn off display" after five minutes. When I idle for five minutes the display indeed goes "black", but I can still see it "lit".
    With the back light still active I'm having to close my lid to ensure my battery lasts a decent amount of time.
    Has anyone else experienced this on Windows 7 and better yet know how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Could be any number of things.  Something failed on the monitor (power supply perphas).  Maybe the cable fatigued and a wire broke inside.  Maybe your video card has failed.
    In other words, too many variables.  You need to eliminate them as best yo can.  Try the monitor on a different computer.  Try a different cable and/or check cable connections.   Try another monitor on your computer.
    Try a smc reset but it probably won't change anything.

  • How to get notification when Calendar is changed.

    Hello All,
    How do I receive notifications on my iPhone/ipad when a shared calendar on icloud is changed/updated by someone else?
    Thanks!

    As I recall, log into icloud.com with a computer's browser, go to the calendar page and click the "Calendars" button (or in ML, look at the left panel).  In the list of calendars, find a shared one, click the small icon next to it.  There you'll have the option of being notified when a change is made.

  • Url iview showing error when displaying a page with frames

    Hi,
    I have a requirement of putting a site in a url iview in the portal. I created a url iview and when I preview it, it displays correctly. When I assign this to a role and access it through the navigation, it gives an error.
    The weird thing is that, it works sometimes and it does not work sometimes. The url I am trying to display is working fine, because even when the portal shows error, if I try the url straight from the browser, it loads without any errors.
    So what could be the problem? The site I am trying to display contains frames. Could this be the problem? If so, why is it working sometimes and does not work sometimes?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Ranjith

    Hi Martin,
    The issue is still there. But one interesting thing that was noticed by my team mate was that if you add the site to the list of sites on browser which can use cookies, everything works fine. Similarly, if I reduce the privacy setting of my browser to Low, it works fine.
    Again, even if you keep the privacy setting as Medium and does not allow the site to use cookies, the iview opens fine if you open it in a new window.
    Any thoughts on this?
    Thanks & Regards
    Ranjith
