Is there a way for it to *not* sleep?

is there a way to set the macbook not to sleep automatically when the clamshell is closed? so that i could, say for instance, listen to music or perhaps one day connect to and use the cinema display without having to leave my macbook sitting open? (i have a prev. gen macbook if that makes any difference)

You can connect an external monitor and USB keyboard (explained in your User Guide) or use a software solution like InsomniaX - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

    Make sure the Mute switch isn't enabled.   If you see orange, it's in silent mode.

  • Is there a way for network mounts NOT to open up with windows at startup?

    I have dragged several network volumes in the startup pane of my account in system preferences - so that when my computer starts up it automatically connects to various computers on the network and they mount on my desktop.
    However, each network volume opens a window, so after they have all mounted, I end up with 5 windows on my desktop.
    For a while now I've just been closing each window, but I want to know if there is a way for the network volumes to mount without new windows opening.
    I've tried checking the "hide" option in the startup pane and that didn't work.

    Thanks Niel, I don't know how to use applescript - so I have a few clarifying questions.
    1) I'm not sure what to write to specify the network volume name. So instead of "close every window", should I type, "close network volume 1 window, network volume 2 window, network volume 3 window" (substituting "network volume..." for the actual name)?
    2) Also for the delay, I assume the number 3 represent seconds - so does this mean if I type "delay 30" it will close all or specified windows after 30 seconds after startup? Would I put "delay 30" after "close every window"?
    Thanks in advance.

    I purchased an audiobook from iTunes On my iPhone.  I got a new phone and after the back up, the books I downloaded were not there.  iTunes wants me to repurchase the books I downloaded.  Is there a way for me to Redon load my already purchased books?

    Hi..
    On your new iPhone tap Settings > Store.
    Make sure Books is turned ON.
    You shouldn't need to re purchase the book >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I'm trying to downgrade my icloud storage; however, my MAC book will not upgrade pass 10.6.8 and I don't have my iphone anymore.  If there another way for me to do this?

    I'm trying to downgrade my icloud storage; however, my MAC book will not upgrade pass 10.6.8 and I don't have my iphone anymore.  If there another way for me to do this?  I've tried everything I can find online and of course my coverage has expired and can't call the support team.

    Hello Lara,
    have you already called Apple and explained your current situation, because I don't see a way to downgrade your storage plan with a Mac only running Snow Leopard and without a iOS device running at least iOS 5.
    Best regards.

  • I purchased a text tone from Itunes.  It shows up in my library, but not as a text tone.  Is there a way for me to set it as a text tone for all texts?  Or I am stuck with factory settings?

    So it is conseidered a customized text tones even if it was purchased through iTunes?  Confusing.  Since I bought it through itunes as a text tone I assumed it would work.  OOOPS
    Thanks so much

  • I have always heard that Macs are less likely to get infected with a virus.  My computer has been running much slower since I installed Maverick.  Just not sure what the problem might be.  Is there a way for me to run a diagnosis?

    I have always heard that Macs are less likely to get infected with a virus.  My computer has been running much slower since I installed Maverick.  Just not sure what the problem might be.  Is there a way for me to run a diagnosis?

    Some have found relief just by reinstalling, but it is more than likely incompatible third-party applications that slow it down.
    You will have to investigate to see what it is.
    Open Activity Monitor and see if anything is using a lot of CPU% or Memory. If they are, check to see if there is an update for them.
    Another place to look is the Console. See if anything is logging repeating messages with throttling and/or respawn in the All Messages list.
    Sometimes it is not that easy to root out the problems, but if you have anything that purported to clean, protect, optimize, maintain, or flush your system, then that is likely the cause.

  • A word document was emailed to me.  I can open the document without a problem.  Is there a way for me to type on the document.... to fill out the form?  When I click the fields, the virtual keyboard does not appear.

    A word document was emailed to me.  I can open the document without a problem on my iPad 2.   Is there a way for me to type on the document.... to fill out the form?  When I click the fields, the virtual keyboard does not appear.

    If you want to edit a word document then you will need an app on your iPad that supports word so that you can copy them to it via 'open in' e.g. Apple's Pages app or a third-party app such as Documents To Go or QuickOffice HD

    As a second option I can play on my 1st gen Ipod Touch. Does that have a gyroscope?

    Contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history or,
    iTunes Customer Service Contact - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html > Get iTunes support via Express Lane > iTunes > iTunes Store - Apple states all sales are final, but you can always ask nicely.  Your friend should have checked the specifications of your ipad before making the gift.

    If you would like your NON-linked images to have a border, and only remove the border from linked images then this css:

  • Is there a way for preventing the placeholder from appearing if there is not content for it?

    I am creating a structure with tags and place holders.  However, not all my entries have all the same information. For example, my first entry has a 3 line address (123 West Street, Suit 23, Lincoln NE 68521) but my second entry only has 2 line address (456 North Street, Lincoln NE 68521).  When imported into my structure, the second address reads 456 North Street, <address2>, Lincoln NE 68521. My question for you is, is there a way for preventing the placeholder from appearing if there is not content for it?

    IJWAA,
    A work-around if you don't already use XSLT (to avoid having to) is to not have placeholder text, just use empty tags in your text layout that correspond to your incoming XML structure (any unused by the incoming structure IN ORDER, will be skipped). So long as you don't mind the blank line (rather than left over placeholder copy).
    If you had placeholder copy in your text box (<address2> for example) look at it using the story editor window (edit > edit in story editor, or command-y/control-y) so you can see the surrounding tags... style the surrounding tags by selecting them with the cursor and applying character or paragraph styles (with text in between the tags at the time) and then delete only the placeholder text from the middle of the sandwich, leaving the tags in tact. Trying to do this without being in the story editor will not work.
    Also, when importing the XML, I believe you'll still need to use "merge content" and "don't import empty white space" as you have been in order to replace placeholder text in any areas you had it.
    For situations when you have a mixture of dynamic and static text in the same text block and you are merging data (more so when the placeholder text has been deleted as I've suggested above but the dynamic tags for the possible incoming text are still there), you can use a tag you've created (I call mine "staticText") in your layout to wrap ANY bits of text you don't want to accidentally delete when the surrounding tags get populated or not, using the merge option upon importing your XML. Just be sure never to use "staticText" as an actual tag in your structure or surrounding incoming data. The text contained within staticText tags in your layout will be ignored by incoming data, and won't accidentally get deleted when it's sandwiched between two sets of tags that are dynamically populated when merge content is the import option.
    In my example below I'm using brackets/carats with the tag name instead of the color coded tag icon you see in the story editor, also I've used LB here to indicate a regular line break in Indesign and SP a regular space character in indesign:
    [staticText>Name:<staticText][firstName>Abc<firstName][staticText>SP<staticText][lastName>Xyz<firstName][staticText>LB<staticText]
    [staticText>Address:<staticText][address1><address1][staticText>LB<staticText]
    [address2><address2][staticText>LB<staticText]
    all other tags on following lines...
    This should just leave a blank line for address2 when no data comes in for it. I'm assuming you have line breaks, if not, all the better.

  • After upgrading iOS 7 on my iPhone 5, the wifi is not working . It cannot detect any wifi nor am I able to enable wifi under settings. Is there a way for me to fix this?

    After upgrading iOS 7 on my iPhone 5, the wifi is not working . It cannot detect any wifi nor am I able to enable wifi under settings. Is there a way for me to fix this?

    Hi samer almasri,
    If you are having issues with enabling Wifi on your iPhone you may want to try a couple of things to troubleshoot. First of all I would quit all open applications on the phone and try again. See this previous thread for how -
    How do I close apps on my iPhone with iOS 7?
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5581063
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -

    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

    lost all my notes in my iphone 5s and so i went to my ipad and pulled the notes up and seen them for a Sec then they were gone. Please is there any way to get my notes back?

    Do you have a back up?
    If not you're into using file recovery software like  File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

  • Is there any way for my ipad to piggyback the internet from my iphone when i am not in a wifi area... The guy at the ATT

    Is there any way for my ipad to piggyback the internet from my iphone without having to purchase a "plan" from ATT&T....The guy at the store said that I had to purchase a new plan with "so much" GB per month and loose my unlimited amount that I am grandfathered into with my current plan... any thoughts?

    Unfortuneatly, you would have to give up your unlimited plan. In the US you would have to get the 2GB plan for $25 and add the teathering plan for $20 more.  The teathering plan would give you another 2GB of data for a total 4GB.

  • I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same fam

    I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same family.

    Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
    A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
    Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
    Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice.
