How to switch off screen while playing songs in 5G iPod

Any ideas how to switch off the screen completely (not just reducing the brightness) while playing the songs.
i'm thinking that this could improve the battery life !!!

No you can not do this; you can only turn off the Backlight.

How to switch off screen blocking if I forget password and couldn't use iTunes?

If you are saying that you've forgotten the passcode to unlock the iPad then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode for your iTunes to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

Show bars while playing songs on video ipod

is it possible to see the sounds bars..on ur ipod screen while playing songs on it?

you mean like an Equalizer? I don't think so, never heard or seen this. You can try searching for that on the web though, see what you can find.

How can I disable wifi while playing music with locked ipod touch?

When I play music and lock the iPod touch, the wifi stays on which drains more battery than is needed. I don't want to turn off wifi in Settings since I like the flexibility to unlock the iPod and quickly check email, browse the web while listing to music (without going into settings, turn it on, browse, go back to settings and turn it off). Once I lock the iPod while playing music, I'd like the wifi to turn off. I know it will stay on while streaming that is expected, but why is the wifi staying on when playing music of the iPod?? Is there a way to do what I am asking? I don't recall having this issue with OS 1.x or 2.x. Also I have seen some posts asking for the opposite (leave the wifi on when not playing music and iPod is locked). These posts acknowledge that wifi stays on while playing music, so it seems to be 'feature' or bug in the OS.

henry is correct. you can't do that.
however, for what it's worth, i have found that wifi connection is similar to mobile phone network connection. i.e. if a phone is searching for a network, it takes up huge amounts of battery, but if it is constantly connected, it doesn't. so it is the 'search' procedure which drains the battery. similarly with my iPod touch. if it is connected to my home wifi network, but i am not using the wifi connection, the battery will not drain significantly. it's when i'm away from home and forget to switch it off that the battery drains. or when i am using it constantly (like listening to a 3.5 hr radio show using safari)

How do you (or can you) play songs from your ipod on itunes?

Im trying to play my the songs on my iPod with itunes that I just installed on my friends laptop. The problem is, the place where it says Charles's (me) Laptop, the songs are all grayed out and I cant select any of them.

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. Check out the links below and make the change on your own computer before you connect it to the second one:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing Your Songs Manually
Some additional info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

How to switch off screen updates

Hey there, fellow (extend)scripters,
I have created a bunch of scripts that tackle the entire book, with many chapters, and performing lots of search-and-replace stuff. While testing, I want to see what is going on, so I have all documents open and I can see the fast scrolling etc. But to speed up the script after testing is done, I insert two lines to switch displaying off and on again. It seems that this is not enough, for FrameMaker keeps frantically switching from one document to the next for a short while, then makes the screen go blank with a discomforting "Not responding" message in the title bar.
Has anyone succesfully figured out how this whole screen displaying stuff really works in ExtendScript ?
Thanks
Jang

Switch off screen while DVD Studio Pro works

I want to encode a DVD overnight with my iMac G5 but somehow DVD Studio Pro seems to override the energy settings.
Even though the display is set to turn off after 1 minute it doen't... ever...
The great shortcut I have found in this forum Option Apple Eject puts the whole computer in sleep, not just the screen. At least my DVD encoding was stuck at 11% for the hour I tried this.
The script I have found in this forum which sets energy save to 1 minute does not help either, as energy save does not work with DVD Studio Pro...
How can I solve this problem.
Thanks
Whodany

a partial fix, however, is to set the program to background encode, then i think you could just leave the program idling overnight with no problems with the power saving, and it should have encoded enouth overnight to make burning nice and quick in the morning

Ipod froze on "Charged" screen while playing in Bose speaker ipod charger

My ipod was playing in a Bose speaker ipod charger dealy. i wanted to see what band was playing and it was displaying the charger screen. i took it off and trying holding down the select and menu button to restart it and it didn't work. I tried plugging it into my computer and its still not doing anything and it has the charged screen still on.

We had a similar problem. iPod stopped while plugged into the Bose and then indicated that it needed to be charged, but when plugged into computer, was not recognized. A reset solved the problem. Are there issues with playing with the Bose system?

How to switch off internal macbook screen when using external monitor(s)

as far as i observed, adding external displays ( running different screens on them, not mirroring) to a macbook pro increases the gpu workload and with that comes temperature rise in the laptop and increase in ventilator noise - and probably increased hardware aging and risk of component faillure due to high temperature inside the laptop.
simply try connecting two external 27" screens and open some flash video on both of them. then run a temperature monitoring software and watch temps rise, compared to running same flash videos / demanding tasks only on one connected external screen or only on the laptop screen with no external monitor connected.
especially in mavericks, due to its increased background routines, such a set-up appears ever the more taxing, then again who does not love apple`s nice adds showing laptops with two 27” screens connected to it and the workspace vision they invoke....
i have seen temps around 100° to 102° celsius on a 13" macbook pro 2012 edition, which i would expect is territory where the cpu / gpu temp safety switches will trigger system shutdown any time soon ( hardware status before verified as fully in order by apple service and default osx installation)
imagine your anti-virus software starting some realtime content screening while runnign some demanding tasks already and the system shuts down easily (all such situation observed in reality)
(would be interesting to see how a retina display macbook fares with 2 external monitors running demanding tasks, considering the retina display already increased taxing for the gpu - any experience from users of such a setup would be very much appreciated as it will provide critical purchase decision intelligence for all of us envisioning a retina-book and two big screens adoring our desks...)
turning down the macbook`s built-in screen`s backlight may reduce power consumption but i have not seen any evidence that it switches off the gpu-to-screen feed and respective gpu load - it certainly did not prevent gpu, cpu, board, etc temps to rise to borderline levels.
so the key question here is, how to switch off the macbook pro`s built-in screen in order to avoid gpu cycles being wasted on that screen ( and the resulting heat developments) when working with big external screen(s) connected to the laptop ?

this thread talks about running several monitors as advertised by apple and running demanding task on them.
with the lid open, the keyboard offers a very efficiant heat escape vector, which is blocked when the lid is closed - this is a basic and commonsense insulation effect. this thread also mentions the use of temperature monitoring software and thus a repeatable test setup. the temps recorded were also mentioned. they rose when the lid was closed, the running task remaining unchanged. as far as i could track down the cpus in discussion will shut down around the 105 degree celsius range. i observed system shut downs when the system approached 103° celsius. not to mention that the fans will run loud well before that.
again this is on hardware checked and ok-ed by apple service.
the question still welcoming an expert answer: is there any way to switch off the built-in macbook monitor while the lid is open ?

How to switch off my main screen (Imac 24") to use an external proyector?

Please Help!
How to switch off my main screen (Imac 24") to use an external proyector?

As I already said in my first reply post, you cannot turn off the iMac's display. The best you can do is display black, which many applications that have a +full screen+ mode will do, if the full screen mode is on the other display.
Alternately, you can move the menu bar (along with Dock and disk icons) from the iMac's screen to the second display. This is done in System Preferences Displays pane Arrangement tab, by dragging the white bar in the diagram from one screen to the other. Once the menu bar and other features are on the second display, the only thing showing on the iMac's display should be the Desktop background. If you pick a Desktop background that is all black, your iMac's display will be showing a black screen (although it will still not be turned off).

How to switch off the error sound in Triversity

Hi
How to switch off the error sound in Triversity, The audio of the computer is already in mute state. The problem is found with DELL pc and not with HP

Mohammed,
There is, actually, a better way to get rid of that annoying beep every time you get a policy prompt, error, etc.
I have a Dell Vostro 1300 and I have done this in other Dell laptops with sucess. Perform the following:
Go to Control Panel --> System --> (on the HARDWARE tab) Click on DEVICE MANAGER
In DEVICE MANAGER, click on VIEW --> SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES
Now, go to "NON-PLUG AND PLAY DRIVERS" and you will see "BEEP" listed as an active device. Right click on it and select "DISABLE" and then reboot your laptop.
You should be golden right after the reboot.
Hope this helped,

How to switch off the Wireless Transmitting of the xDock for the iPod?

Hey,
Can anybody help me how to switch off the wireless streaming of the xDock transmitter for the iPod? I tried to do it by resetting and I already read the FAQ but nothing seemed to work...
Thanks for your help. ;-)
Hi,
Kann mir irgendjemand sagen, wie ich bei meinem xDock Transmitter f?r den iPod das wireless streaming ausschalten kann? Ich habe bereits versucht das Ger?t zu resetten und habe das FAQ gelesen aber nichts hat geholfen...
Vielen Dank im Vorraus f?r eure Hilfe ;-)

turn it into standby mode
unplug the power supply from the x-fi dock
press the volume controller and hold it while plugging the power supply
the link control led on the backside will glow shortly and and turn off
thats it
to reactivate it press both the forward and backward wind button for at least 3 seconds
But I think, this is really a shame, that the WLAN network is unusable when using the x-Fi wireless function.

Audio cuts out at random while playing songs in itunes

While playing songs in itunes audio will frequently drop out completely across the entire system. The song will still be in play mode but the track progress indicator doesn't move. There's no slowdown or spinning beachballs, activity monitor doesn't indicate any processes hogging resources, and there are no other noticeable effects other than zero audio output. The problem resolves temporarily if I pause itunes then click the volume up/down keys and click play again. Any clue as to how I might resolve this annoying issue?

Hi. What OS X release? (10.x.?) iTunes? On this G4 1,25 single now connected I got 10.4.11 and iTunes 7.0.2 Works fine.
