MacBooks 2012 lid should be closed but still in use. Please advice how.

Hi, I like to use Skype by using an external webcam and also using the apple tv in order to view the display on TV. It is working ok but I also like to close the display of the macbook pro 2012. How can I do so? Please advice step by step. Please do not tell me that I have to connect a external mouse and tv via HTML. I know that already. Please send me the information how can I just close the lid and the mac should still be working. Many thanks

  • After trying to send a 15,000 character text my app froze and it crashes every time. I hard closed it, restarted my phone, but still nothing. Please help. I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 6.

    My messaging app is frozen and I can't text after I tried to spam my friend with a 15,000 character text. I hard closed the app and restarted my phone but still nothing. Please help.

    I had the VERY same problem with a iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2. I did a hard reset and a full restore to factory settings and then a restore from a back up- nothing worked. I then read Cal4one's post on turning off the read text function (which I had just turned on days before to try out) and ta-da! all is well! I can now use Messages and when I go to attach a picture, the Photo library comes up quickly (it was not before the chance) and the Message app no longer crashes. Just to be safe, I turned off all reading functions in the Accessibility (settings/general/accessibility/speech) settings.

  • Lost mouse connection. Replaced batteries but still no recognition. Advice?

    I had a message saying 'Lost connection' with mouse icon.
    I replaced batteries but still no recognition.
    Advice?

    First make sure the batteries aren't dead and that the keyboard hasn't already been paired with another device that's in range. If it hasn't, the keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
    Otherwise see these support articles:
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 and later) and iMac (Late 2012): Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
    Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
    If you have a third-party Bluetooth keyboard, you may need a wired keyboard to complete the pairing process. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.

    First make sue you are installing the 64 bit version of iTunes.
    Second make sure it is iTunes 10.7 or later.
    I would download a fresh copy of the 64 bit version of iTunes 11. After installation reboot your computer.
    Before connecting your phone reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    it's been a while that Im unable to copy music from itunes to my iphone. I updated my device to the latest version of IOS 5.1.1 and made sure no jailbreak is installed but still not working. please assist.

    Assuming you are not manually managing your music, verify the following:
    You are using the latest version of iTunes
    On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
    In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
    There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
    You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
    You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
    When everything looks correct, sync your phone.

  • I lost my connection when I was using internet and when I want to reconnect to airport it give me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hi,
    I lost my airport connection when I was using internet and when I wanted to re-reconnect to airport it gave me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hello there hastibahreini,
    It sounds like you were using your Wi-Fi network from your Airport base station and the connection cut out. You have reset the password on the device but the issue persists. I would try the 3 resets outlined in the following article in order to help resolve the issue. If it persists, is the Wi-Fi connection issue happening on more than one device or computer?

  • I have a gift card that has been redeemed once but still has money on it how do I reredeem it?

    I have a gift card that has been redeemed once but still has money on it how do I reredeem it? If possible

    Expanding on what Niel said, once you redeem a gift card, the amount of the card is registered in your iTunes Store account and the card can be trashed. All you need do now is log into your iTunes Store account, the one you redeemed the card through, and make purchases. The cost will be deducted from your credit balance automatically.
    A couple of caveats/warnings:
    - you can buy anything in the iTunes Store with the balance other than a gift for someone else;
    - if you don't have a credit card also registered to your account, keep careful watch on your balance so you don't overspend it. If you do, the purchase will go through but you won't be able to download anything else, even free content or items you already purchased, until you add another gift card or a credit card to cover the amount you owe.
    Regards.

    If you have American Express, your 4-digit security code is on the front. If you have VISA or MasterCard, your 3-digit security code is outside the signature block on the back of your credit card. It happens to me also.

  • HT201210 I have updated my iPhone to iOS6.1.3 today and lost all my photos and some data(messageies) I have tried iTunes back up but still not success, please help. This

    I have updated my iPhone to iOS6.1.3 today and lost all my photos and some data(messageies) I have tried iTunes back up but still not success, please help.

    If your messages and photos weren't part of your backup, then they're gone.
    Certainly you weren't foolish enough to update the iOS on your phone before importing your photos off your phone for safe keeping on your computer like you would do with any digital camera, were you?

    HEy Pm
    Delete the FB app. It ***** anyway. LOL
    Seriously, obviously the FB app is causing havoc on your phone. Delete it.
    Then back up your phone to iTunes.
    Make sure the FB app is not checked in iTunes so it won't go back on your device.
    Restore (as a NEW PHONE) This puts on new firmware and not your corrupted data.
    Plug back in to get your data back (except FB)
    Re-download FB app from App Store->Updates->Purchases
    Good luck
    Have you considered not using FaceBook and not being involved in all that minutiae? Do you really want to know when someone has tied their shoes?

  • My friend has an iPhone but doesn't use iMessage. How can I send her regular texts with the new iOS 7 update?

    My friend has an iPhone but doesn't use iMessage. How can I send her regular texts with the new iOS 7 update?

    That's because her phone is recognized in the Apple database as an iPhone.  It should eventually convert to SMS but that's above my level of expertise here so hopefully someone else can come along and help you further.  She could just turn on iMessage and solve the problem. Ha!
    Good luck!
