I have connected a second monitor and I want to be able to close my macbook lid. How can I achieve this? please

I have connected a second monitor to my mac Book Pro, I now want to be able to close the lid of the mac Book Pro, when I do so it switches off the screen? how ca I close the top of the Mac book and leave my second monitor active please?

Use the link that Bob provided - and make certain that you have an external mouse (well, or Magic Trackpad - it's just wonderful) and Bluetooth or USB keyboard available.
I run in clamshell mode 90% of the time now - just take my MBP off the desk to travel around the house that other 10% of the time...

  • How can I share two differents Itunes accounts in my Apple TV ? I have one and my wife has another account and we want to share both in our apple tv. How can I do this ???

    I assume you have different iTunes collections on different PC's, or on different logins on the same PC?  If that's the case then just enable "Home Sharing" in each iTunes using the SAME iTunes username and password as you enabled home sharing on the Apple TV with. The account used for home sharing is NOT the same as the account used to access the iTunes store, so as long as you use the same account (pick one, doesn't matter which) then you should see both of yor iTunes libraries on the Apple TV. Note - each iTunes has ti be running in order for the Apple TV to see the library.
    Here's some details on how to do it:

    Hi I have itunes UK on my lap top and my daughter has been bought an Itunes USA gift card how can I use this please?

    Gift cards can only be used in the country in which they are purchased - so in order to use a US gift card you would need to have a US iTunes account.

  • I have one folder on my desktop, i want to copy it on external hard drive so how can i do this?

    I have one folder on my desktop, i want to copy it on external hard drive so how can i do this?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Connect the external drive and open a Finder window pressing the Finder icon in Dock. Then, drag the folder to Finder, so it will be copied to this external disk.
    If you can't copy this folder, probably you have to format the external disk or use an app that allows you to write in that external drive. Mac OS X can't write in NTFS external disks

    The wi-Fi button on my IPhone 4S is greyed out and will not turn on and therefore I am not able to receive wi-fi.  How can I fix this problem?

    Follow the steps in the article below to try and resolve the issue:
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    If after all the steps the issue remains I'd suggest to book an appointment at an Apple Retail Store to have your iPhone evaluated or contact AppleCare for assistance.
    Hope this helps

  • I downloaded xcode 4 from my brother user account, and I want to move that file to my user account ( how can I do it please help)

    Hi everyone can anybody help please, I downloaded xcode 4 from my brother user account, and I want to move that file ( which is xcode 4) to my own user account, I was trying to find how to do it, but unfortunatally couln't do it, so please need world help,

    You cannot. You have to make your own download by signing into the App Store using your Apple ID then downloading the file.
    If you just want to install it on your computer, then copy the file to a flash drive and transfer it to your computer.

  • HT201401 I just restored my iPhone and it worked, but it will not let me go any further (iTunes telling me "The iPhone you have connected may be damaged and cannot be activated") so I'm trying to find out how to get past this... Why is it "damaged"?

    It all started when one day all of a sudden the heat was bad here, and I sat in the car with the AC on and my phone on the dash board, charging. Next thing that happened was that when I got home I let my son play with it (which he always takes good care of it, watching youtube videos) and then later on that evening when I payed attention to the back of it, it looked super swollen. You could see where tears in the white backing of my iPhone were from whatever had caused this. I thought it was from the heat, just expanding the case. Well, it had obviously got too hot in the sun on the dashboard and over a few hours had almost got to the point of exploding. I did not know that just a little bit of heat from the sun could do that, so anyways.
    I ordered a new battery online and replaced that, in the process loosing two screws, the two at the bottom which hold the LED touch screen in place. Although it doesn't move without the screws, I do need to replace those also. Everything works fine. Buttons, touch screen, I just think there might be a small problem with the mother board, from the battery swelling and causing it to bend, or even heating the metal on it. That would suck, total bummer.. Anyways, anyone with a solution or even a bit of advice, or just a suggestion please feel free to help. I have taken it apart one last time after I restored it, and cleaned it very little with alcohol, thinking that might be a problem, but still nothing yet...
    I hope I get this phone working again, not use for a phone, but for games, music, and videos. Thank anyone for your help! It's greatly appreciated!

    If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
    Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
    What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
    iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
    The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

    Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.

  • I have changed email address and this new address is now my new apple id.When advised to update apps,my old email address shows and s when I insert my password the update is declined.How can I change this please.

    Please answer my question.Thanks

    You question is a little Confusing...
    Do you mean you have created A NEW Apple ID...
    If so...
    It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID
    If not..
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out... Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.

  • I have placed items in the trash can and I want them restored to their original file folders. How can I do this?Ihave a Macbook with the Mac OS X 10.5.8 software on it.

    Please help me. I know I can place them on the desk top, and return each file one-by-one, but is time consuming. My time machine was backedup back in september, and I don't want to lose pics I took and saved since then. Please let me know if thre is a "restore" or "put back" feature on the Mac OS X 10.5.8.
    Kind Regards,
    Steve

    I don't think "Put Back" is available in 10.5. Might try Cmd-delete (but if Put Back is not available, I guess the shortcut won't be either.) If the shortcut works, you must restore them one by one.
    If they are not from your user, you do not want to move them first to the Desktop and then move them to their original locations. Doing so will complete screw up their Permissions. If these are not from your home folder and If Put Back is not available, you must use what will be the very tedious sudo mv command in Terminal for each. But sounds like they are from your user, since they are pictures.

  • I have a QP card 101 and I want to standardize HSB in photoshop CS5.1. How do I do this?

    I need help standardizing the QP 101 card in my photo.
    The values for QPcard 101 are the following:
    Dark Gray: 35, 0, 0
    Mid Gray: 48, 0, 0
    White: 95, 0, 0

    Go to File>new>blank file. Enter the dimensions of the card, background white (or whatever suits you), resolution 300px/in
    With the rectangular marquee tool, drag out a box of suitable size. You will see "marching ants" surrounding the rectangle.
    Open a blank layer at the top in the layers palette
    Go to Edit>Stroke(Outline) selection. Enter the width of the stroke (try 5 px), select the color, place it inside
    Type the text to be within the confines of the text box with the type tool
    N.B. The advantage to having the stroke on a separate layer is that if you don't like it, you can delete the layer and replace it

    There are a few methods described on this page for how to copy your iTunes content between computers : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    For syncing your devices to that new computer, these two articles might be of use
    syncing with a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    recovering content from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    If the photos are those that you've synced to the device from your computer then you will need to copy the directory that they are in on your computer. If they are photos that you've copied from your device to your computer theg you can also either copy their directory, or (if they are still on it) re-copy them from the device onto the new computer (photos to computer).

  • I connect my pendrive to macbook pro but it cannot detect and my important data is there in my pen drive so how can i collect this data from my pendrive?

    i connect my externalpendrive to macbook pro but it cannot detect and my important data is there in my pen drive so how can i collect this data from my pendrive?

    make sure that in your finder preferences you have it checked to show external drives on the desktop and in the sidebar of finder
    you find these preferences by selecting the finder icon (blue square on the dock w/ smiley face on it) then click on the work "finder" at top left corner of computer screen then click on preferences then general and put check next to show these items on the desktop and put check next to external drives
    now you should see it on the desktop if you still can't open the drive or access it, it may be in format the mac can't read or write to so that could be an issue.
