Is There a Way to Leave the Screen on When Connected to USB?

I assume even if the screen is on it continues to charge so it seems unnecessary to let it time out and have to enter the password again and again.  So, is there as way to set it to stay unlocked (screen on) when it's on USB, but time out and lock when on battery only?

No, there is not setting to differentiate when charging and when on battery.

  • Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up every time an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?

    Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up everytime an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?  This is killing my battery, but also is kinda the whole point of the notification center in my mind.

    This is something I've been wondering. I am a bit like you, I like being able to have a glance at emails or Facebook updates without having to log in, and I think it would be great to be able to turn off the notification switching the screen on, especially for emails as I do get a lot, and Facebook, but I somehow doubt it is possible.
    I am currently monitoring how much this eats up my battery charge. On a normal day, after an overnight charge, I would probably still have 30%-40% left when I leave work in the evening. Today, I was down to 48% by lunchtime, where I've usually got a good 60-70% left... Might have to turn email notifications off on lock screen until it's possible to have them appearing in the list without flashing me...

  • I have pluged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?

    I have plugged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?
    if the device I connected have caused this, shouldn't the macbook itself have some type of protection that should prevent this from happening.
    because when I took it to an apple certified maintenance shop, the guy said that now it could only run while connected to the power. it won't run on batteries. and that I have to change the motherboard.
    can I just replace the damaged part only, would apple consider this as a design issue and they could pay for it, or should I just buy a new motherboard for 800$.
    Help.

    BB1B2,
    The problem is in finding a tech shop that will/can do board level repairs on Macs. They are few. And I certainly wouldn't spend $800 on a new logic board - I would replace the computer if I had to pay that much!
    You could call around to a few repair shops and see if they feel competent to isolate the problem and do a board level repair - but I'm afraid, in the end, that your search will be futile.
    Sorry,
    Clinton

  • Is there a way to Change the Writing Speed When Burning CD-R's?

    Is there a way to change the writing speed when burning CD-R's?
    I don't see any options in Disk Utility.
    Rob
    P.S. Since I am burning coasters lately with the Pioneer DVR-111D, I though that I might solve the problem by using a lower write speed.

    I dn't believe so with Disk Utility although you can with Roxio Toast Titanium. I would try another media brand, like Verbatim, as a first step and see if the coaster problem goes away.

  • Is there a way to adjust the frame length when using a FFT

    Is there a way to adjust the frame length when using a FFT?
    Thanks,

    I thought that to have a longer frame rate you just need to have a longer sample set.

  • Is there a way to retrieve the coordinates of when an iTouch was last on?  There is an app Last Alert - does anyone know if it works?

    Is there a way to retrieve the last coordinates when an ITouch was on?  Does Last Alert app work? 

    Not with the Apple FindMyiPod feature. The Last Alert app you mentioned will give you the location with low battery (20%, 10% and 5% or so).
    There may be other apps that will do it periododically without having to have a low battery.
    This app will send its location every hour.

    Note, the iPod has to be connected to the internet.

    When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.

  • Will not recognize the Lucid LG when connected with USB

    My Dell  will not recognize the Lucid LG when connected with USB. Both the computer and phone gives a split second prompt that they are connected but then goes away immediately.  After reconnecting it several times however it will finally recognize the mass storage. How can I get away from the hassle of multiple re-connections before it finally recognizes that connection?

        That's some helpful information about your issue samrmusso! Some recommendations that I have for you is to try a different USB port on the computer to see if it isn't an issue with that specific USB port.  Are you using the cable that came with the device (recommended) or a 3rd party cable (may not support data transfering properly)? You can also try restarting both the device and computer and retest. It's possible that there's a driver conflict on your Dell. Here's how to check for these types of conflicts: http://goo.gl/qH4m5

  • Is there a way to get the screen saver on user "a" to use iphoto pictures from user "b"?

    Is there a way to have the iphoto screen saver use the photos from a different iphoto user?  My husband leaves his account open and he has only old photos when the screen saver kicks in.   I would like to have my photos be able to pop up on his screen saver.  I need to find them in the system preferences screen saver place, but have it access my iphotos and not only his.  How?  Also, I would like a better system on organizing my photos.. I have them all in events by year and it is difficult of often find favorite specfic photos.  Thank you. Melody

    In short, no. The whole point of different accounts is to keep your data separate from his, and your photos are your data.
    You could share a library? It can be a bit complex.
    You can use Fast-User switching to switch over to your account - takes a couple of seconds
    As to organising your Photos - iPhoto is a database and offers pretty much unlimited options for organising your pics, but it takes a bit of work to go beyond the basic and automatic.
    If you take the time to assign Places then you cn see all the photos in your Library based on where they were taken. (Of course, that's of limited use if they're all taken in your backyard ) Faces means you can sort the Library based on who's in the Photos.
    Beyond that, simple thigns like naming the Events will help - Xmas 11, Bobby's Wedding, Rome 2009 and so on. You can then search on those basic words in the search box.
    After that: Keywording. The following is a canned answer I use to describe my system. It may spark some ideas for you.
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 40k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • Is there any way to change the screen resolution in Front Row?

    Hi all,
    I've got a Mac Mini plugged in to my TV, and I want to be able to change the screen resolution depending on the content I'm watching (as some content is in 4:3 aspect ratio, some is in 16:9, and I'd prefer to have the picture filling the screen completely). Unfortunately, the TV doesn't have a "stretch" mode for making an 4:3 picture fit a 16:9 aspect ratio. If I know what I want to watch in advance, I can set the resolution accordingly using system prefs on the mac, but if I'm just sitting back choosing what to watch with the Apple Remote, it's annoying to have to leave front row, walk over to the computer and change resolution once I've decided what to watch, open system prefs, change resolution, re-launch Front Row and find what I wanted to watch again.
    So I was wondering if anyone had figured a way to allow the screen resolution to be switched from within the FrontRow UI. I've seen that people have written python based plug-ins such as PyeTV and Understudy that allow different types of content to be added to FrontRow, but I've not found any utility plug-ins such as what I'm looking for on the net (nor could I find SDK documentation on this API in the stuff that comes with XCode).
    I guess the other approach might be quick keys: has anyone had any success hooking up quick keys macros alongside front row in response to apple remote events? (seems too few events to be able to choose from, but I've never tried it, so I won't assume!) Or how about is there a way to trigger an AppleScript from within Front Row? And, of course, I'm very open to any other ideas you might have!
    Thanks very much in advance for any ideas on this.

  • Is there a way to access the screen (headless operation) of a machine being used as a Mac OS X (ML) Server?

    I'm using ML OS X Server and so far have enabled only FIle Sharing. Is there a way to share a screen with the Mac Mini (server host) while in Server operation? What section(s) need to be enabled to do this? I can access the Server remotely using the Server app, but as yet have not configured the web app to manage the server. Even if I do, this will not allow me to run an app as I could while at the server machine's screen, keyboard and mouse. My goal to operate this machine almost full time headlessly.
    Thanks!!

    You can use screen sharing even if the Mac is headless; it's been that way for awhile now. You probably have to go back to the G3s to find Macs couldn't run headless or that you'd have to trick. I used my old G4 MDD headless this weekend; I used screen sharing and remote desktop from a 2011 Mini and 2011 MBP. I sometimes to do it with my mini Server, when I use the 23" LCD with my MBP, leaving the Server headless.
    Hmm... I noticed this as a problem when I had the Mini's combo video (VGA) output adapter plugged in to its VGA screen.
    When the monitor power was lost (due to it's plug being on an unprotected plug and the power being out) AND while display still connected without a working power source, lost the remote display, too. In that case, the Screen Sharing wouldn't work from a remote computer on the local network. Did not try unplugging the connection completely (suppose that rebooting might be necessary to see the headless mode?). Mention it here because you might also want to be aware of that situation for the future...
    Moving the plug-in to protected power for the monitor (even if off) did cure the problem and easier for me too. Checked with screen share (vnc:// connection seems to behave the same). We're probably doing the same thing, or pretty close to it. Seems I just have to completely detach the screen connection to effectively use the "headless' mode, which I didn't do. Note the specs of my Mini as below to compare with yours (it's not a new version 'server' model).

  • Is there a way to leave the notification center open

    Hello all,
    I wondered if there was a way to leave the notification center open in OS 10.8.1.
    Maybe via the terminal?
    I am using a 30" monitor and to me it would make sense to have NC alway open.
    Thanks a lot.
    Cheers.

    You can poke around yourself,  but right off I do not see how this is possible in customizing the plist.

    /System/Library/CoreServices/Notification Center.app
    You can right click to open> Show Package Content.

  • Is there a way to affect the URL used when running a report subscription?

    We are using SQL Server 2008 R2.  I am finding out that when running a report subscription to extract a file in csv format, an extra blank line is created at the bottom (i.e., extra line feed), and the mysterious BOM characters also get inserted at
    the beginning.  Both of these "features" are causing problems with a client's import of these files.  Of course, it affects multiple clients.
    I have done some research and have found information on how to edit the rsconfigserver file to render CSV files using ASCII and to not use Excel formatting.  This removes both "features"/problems stated above.
    However, editing the server config file will affect all csv extractions on that report server.  Is there a way to control the URL of a specific report subscription to include these values (so only the reports that need the fix get it)?  For example,
    someone gave this URL as an example of how to add parameters including encoding in the URL.   http://MyReportServer/ReportServer?%2fReport+Folder%2fReportName&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=CSV&rc:Encoding=ASCII
    Is there a way to have the report subscription run the report using a URL like this so it extracts it without the BOM characters?  I was thinking a data driven subscription would allow me to set the values like this, but these parameters are only pertinent
    AFTER the report is run and only needed for the final rendering.  Not sure how to do this. Maybe it's not possible. If it's not, that's fine.  I just need to write a proposal to our DBA's to talk them into making a couple edits to the server config
    file.
    Has anyone ever worked around this before in SSRS?
    Thank you!!
    Dana

    Hi DanaSSRS,
    According to your description, you want to have some report exported into CSV file with ASCII encoding when running a subscription. Right?
    In Reporting Services, when we run the subscription, it will call the Render Extension as we configured in rsreportserver.config file, we can't set the Render format with ASCII Encoding on subscription level. As you said, the Render Extension we configured
    in the rsreportserver.config will apply to all reports. In this scenario, you only want that extension apply to specific reports. For your requirement, we suggest you add a custom Render Extension in configure file. You just need to copy the CSV Extension
    and add a <OverrideNames/> to override a new name. Then set the <Encoding> in <Configure>. And you can select this custom Extension when creating the subscription. This might be the most effective workaround.
    Reference:
    Customizing Rendering Extension Parameters in RSReportServer.Config
    CSV Device Information Settings
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best Regards,

  • Is there a way to open the main browser when only the download window is open ?

    Many times I have closed the browser by accident, or when to many windows are open and just cleaning up... normally this happens when a download is being done and then when trying to open the browser again it is not allowed for an instance is already running. Is there a way to open the browser back up just from the download window ?? This does cause the pausing and retry of the download of course, but when doing large files ... gigers, many times I have lost it completely, is there a way around this besides the obvious do not close ?

    I know of no way to re-open Firefox in your case. However, you can set a preference that will give you a pop-up message when a download is in progress, then you have 2 options presented; continue with closing Firefox which will cancel the download or cancel closing Firefox and the download will continue. This way one last Firefox browser window remains open along with the download window.
    To have Firefox warn you when a download is in progress and you choose File > Exit, change a preference:
    #type '''about:config''' in the URL/location bar and press the Enter key
    #if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
    #Filter = browser.download.manager.quitBehavior
    #right-click (OSX: Cmd+click) on that preference
    #choose Modify
    #enter a new value of 2
    #click OK
    #you may need to restart Firefox for the change to take effect
