No keyboard, but Mac still goes into clamshell mode

How do I prevent this?
I have power attached and an external monitor. No keyboard, no mouse, no bluetooth devices, no USB devices. When I close the laptop lid it moves all my apps to the external monitor and stays on. I want it to sleep.
The Apple documentation says all 3 are required for clamshell mode: power, external monitor, keyboard. Apple store guy says it might be a bug in the OS.
Late-2013 13" rMBP w/ OS X v10.9.3.
Thanks.

Hi macmozz,
You can disable fullscreen from the about:config page, but to change it back you will have to follow the same instructions below:
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# Please search for "fullscreen"
# Setting autohide to false

Internet not working after MAC book goes into sleep mode

If my mac book goes to sleep or if i close it when i wake it up/open it the internet doesnt work, usually have to restart it or wait several minutes in order for the internet to come back any way to fix this problem?

Safari, Firefox will all open up; we're talking specifically about airport. It will not automatically connect to my home's wireless network once I wake it from sleep. Actually it will not even pick up or recognize any other close by networks. When you click on the airport symbol to get the drop down menu, the only option that is there is 'other'.
Once I wake it, I will leave it there for about ten minutes and when I come back it has finally picked up the other networks and I am able to connect to my home's wireless network.

Mac book goes into sleep mode it won't always come out the keyboard lights up but the screen will not

it seemed to start after i updated to OS X lion.

I have this same issue. When experiencing this issue I connected a wired mouse and selected/reviewed bluetooth device status which showed blutooth devices not connected. Trying to reconnect and/or restart the bluetooth devices (keyboard, mouse, and trackpad) did not work. Only a reboot solves the problem. Reseting the hardware does not prevent this issue.
Apple support informed me that this is a known bug and they are working on it. There is a bluetooth issue with supporting three bluetooth devices that manifests after sleep. My work around was to use only bluetooth keyboard and magic mouse. This solves the problem. After each OS patch is applied (in future) I plan to check and see if the issue is solved. I did not upgrade yet to to patches released in Feb. 2012 - so it might be fixed there (as part of the wifi sleep issue solution).

TS2570 i have an intel imac and im getting a grey sceen. I get the flashing question mark folder. iv changed the H.D 2x and tired to install a new os into it but no luck. The mac isnt going into safe mode or anything. help?

Intel imac 2009. Grey screen with question mark folder. Changed harddrives 3 times now. Tired 5 keyboards on all Usb ports and a hub and keyboard wont boot to startup or safemode of anything but hub gets power. disc drive wont eject or accept a disc cuz keyboard commands not being sent to computer. Help?

Keyboards must be connected directly to the USB port, not through a hub.
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Mac Tower Pro 10.8.5 keeps going into sleep mode

Purchased from Apple, refurbished 2012 Mac Tower Pro. At the same time, purchased a new Dell U2713HM, 27" monitor.
Have been operating on this new system since about the first week of December 2013.
Issue:
The computer has constantly gone into sleep mode after a few minutes of no activity. I can have iTunes radio playing, but the system still goes into sleep mode. As I am typing and moving the curser, the machine stays awake.
This has caused much frustration because when it goes into auto sleep mode, it quits all programs that I am in, and when it does this, I lose all the work I had accomplished. It litterally closes everything and goes to sleep in about 2-3 minutes of no activity.
BTW: the computer and monitor have all its new OEM cables that came in the box, when I purchased the units.
Solutions attempted:
System Preferences — Energy Saver: computer sleep and display sleep set to "never" and unclicked the box "Put hard disks to sleep when possible."
Dell settings: Turned off all energy savers.
Results:
Nothing. Problem persists.

I apologize for the angst. The problem has cost too much money in lost time and material because when it would automatically shut down after a few minutes, all my work was lost.
I misunderstood the terms of the warranty. Thank you for your input and patience. Much appreciated. For the benefit of others that experience this with a new Mac that auto shuts down. Check the following:
1. Go to System Preferences.
2. Click on Security and Privacy.
3. Click on Advanced (bottom right corner)
4. If the first line is checked (Log out after 5 minutes of inactivity); uncheck it and then click OK button.
5. Be sure to click the lock before existing Security and Privacy.
Now the machine will cease shutting down programs to go into sleep mode as soon as machine is inactive for a few minutes.

I am being asked to upgrade to iCloud Drive but indications are that I will not be able to access up to date details on any of my documents on my Mac without going into iCloud first. Have I got this interpretation right or can I save changes to access the new versions on my iMac?

That is Apple's statement:

Ford Sync and my Iphone4s are having issues. When I receive a call, it goes into privacy mode. I have searched ford's site. But still no answers. Any suggestions?

Ford Sync and my iphone4s are having one major issue. When I receive a call, it goes into privacy mode. I have been on Ford's web site and no one knows the answer. It is just when I receive calls. What to do? I have used a Blackberry Storm 2 in this same vehicle and no problems.

Thanks for the quick resonse Kilted Tim. Are you from Scotland? My wife is.
I decided to try to do two things this morning to resolve this privacy problem. The first is, I restored my wife;s phone from itunes--in spite of the fact that the Apple tech at the Genius Bar in Tampa said that reloading the firmware is not the problem and it must be Ford. This took about 15 minutes to download, restore and verify. One must resist the temptation to disconnect the phone because I had a popup by the system tray ( I'm using Win7) that said I can now use the phone but itunes was still doing stuff so I just let it do it's thing until it (itunes) told me to use the phone. Went down to the car and my privacy issue is resolved.
I also went to syncmyride to download the version checker. A word of advice this does not work well if at all on google Chrome. I went to Explorer and it worked fine. I was on a chat line about a week ago and was told that google Chrome will work with syncmyride.com. So much for their knowledge.

Mac Pro randomly goes into sleep mode

My (mid 2010) Mac Pro, OS X.6.8, randomly goes into sleep mode and I can't wake it, have to power it off and reboot. Just started to the best of my knowledge Friday (Jan 6, 2012) I've had it happen surfing the web in Safari, while working on an illustration in Adobe Illustrator, while running Apple Hardware Test, using 23" LCD connected by HDMI and DVI-D, Disconnected monitor and connected 12" Cintiq (LCD Tablet).
The monitor goes black, says "there's no signal coming from your computer", none of the keys will wake it. I have to hold down the power button until it turns off then power it back up. The time between the sleeps varies, 38min, 1hr 34min, 5min, 2hr 17min, 12min, etc. I disconnected everything (except keyboard, mouse, monitor) still the same. Opened and removed the ATI Radeon HD 5870, and noticed the PRAM battery, replaced it with a new one, thought that fixed it, worked for a long time then it happened again.
Tried Apple Hardware Tester again, it said everything is fine, ran it again an error popped up: 4SNS/1/40000000:Te1S-99.364, wrote it down then it slept.

The next time this happens open your mac and see if there is still a fan running. If so you are not sleeping, you are in a thermal cutoff. Keep you mac cover off.
Now reboot as you always do. Take a look at the fan in your 5870. Is it spinning? If so, try to keep an eye on it and see if you can "catch" it not spinning.
When the fan doesn't start, or if it does then stops, the card will overheat and the machine will go into thermal cutoff. The amount of time is variable.
I speak from experience. I am currently on my third 5870 video card. Both the previous two had this fan problem. The only wrinkle in my theory for you is that I wouldn't expect more that, say, 15 minutes of up time at the most, not hours like you got. But it may be that your card is starting ok, but stops sometime later. I chalk it up to the lousy fans Nvidia uses in the 5x70 cards.
FWIW, if you happen to catch the fan stopped before the machine goes into thermal cutoff you can give it a little nudge with your finger to get it going again.
I recommend one of the various temperature monitors. I use iStat Menus and display some key temps in my menu bar. Of course after going through two of these cards I am a bit paranoid!
Some other temperature monitors:
iStat Pro
Temperature Monitor
Hardware Monitor
Note, after typing all this I also realized you got a AHT 4SNS error. I would run AHT again to see if you get that error again. If so that means "Check Main Logic Board" and you may have a more serious hardware problem than just a video card! So my other recommendation is that when you machine fails again look inside for any lit diagnostic leds. There's some near the dimms but there are others on the board as well.

Late 2012 Mac mini with OSX 10.8.2 has started shutting down instead of going into sleep mode.

Sometime in the last week or so my mac mini has started going into full shut down instead of sleep mode.
I have tried checking and unchecking energy saver boxes but haven't found anything which will get me back to where I used to be - and I haven't knowingly changed anything to make this happen.- maybe an OS update caused it?
The machine will fire up with a tablet click rather than needing the reset button to be pushed so clearly the machine is sort of halfway between sleep and full 'off'. Most frustrating as one of the key issues for me in getting this my first mac was its easy sleep and super quick fire up compared to windows.
Any help appreciated
Oh yes I just remembered that I did just install 2 8gb of crucial RAM (to replace the supplied 2 2gb but surely that can't have anything to do with it - can it)?

Adding to my first post I can now advise that when the mac goes into sleep mode the light on the front stays on (it does not pulse so clearly it is not really sleeping).
When i click the tablet / keyboard this is actually what triggers the mac to reboot
I have tried resetting the SMC as per the following link to no avail

IPod says to use iTunes to restore but keeps going into disk mode.

So whenever I reset my iPod, a screen pops up that says to use iTunes to restore it but when I plug the iPod into the computer, it goes into disk mode and iTunes doesn't read it.

Already tried another USB port, still nothing.
I don't have another PC to check, I only have one which is the one not working with my iPod.
It appears under my Computer, just not under iTunes. Plus, the iPod classic troubleshooting assistant doesn't work because I can't restore since it can't come up onto my iTunes! Even my iPod says "Use iTunes to Restore" once in a while, but I plug it in & I'm not able to restore it since it won't come up under iTunes.
Please help

HT201263 My ipad will not show the recovery mode, it goes into DFU mode just fine, but whenever I put it in recovery mode I get nothing but a blank white screen. After doing a restore or update itunes gives me error 37. This all happened due to a failed u

I updated from ios 5.0.1 to 5.1. Midway through the update itunes crashed. I got it all working again and ever since I have been stuck in a recovery loop. DFU mode works fine, but when I go into recovery mode (yes I am doing it right, yes I have tried pwning, tinyumbrella, etc.) it still just gives me a white screen (I am not getting the plug arrow and itunes icon screen that shows up when you are in recovery mode). I am a huge fan of hacking, mods, and jbs, BUT have never done any on the iPad, (found it pointless).. nevertheless, I am stuck thanks to apple in a white screen and a nonworking iPad. If anyone has any ideas that does not include jbs, updating, restoring, restoring with internet off, restoring in DFU, I would gladly appreciate it. I would take it to the apple store but it was a friends and I didn't purchase it. My friend had the issue formerly and they had no idea what to do at apple (they usually try DFU, restore, and then have nothing else to tell you.

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

What happens when you try to restore? Error message?

I purchased an I pad giving my macbook to my husband. His photo stream doesn't work but mine still goes onto macbook . How can I stop that ?

Another item to consider is do you and your husband have your own iTunes accounts? If so then log out of iTunes on your old Macbook and log back in with your husbands ID and password. If not this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8, ......

RBDAPP01 going into SLEEP Mode and Idocs still in 64 status

Hey all,
I have a Inbound Idoc interface which is being processed using RBDAPP01 Program. The Issue I am facing is that the job running the rbdapp01 program goes into sleep mode even though there are idocs present in 64 status. I tried to debug the work process using SM66 but it does not open any debugging window although it says debugging started. If I cancel the Job and run it again it processes those Idocs Any input on how one can resolve this issue?
Thanks.

Hi Aparna,
Here is extract from SAP material on running RBDAPP01 transaction and possible reasons for delay in processing. HOpe this can help you.
To automate the treatment of IDocs, you must run the ABAP program RBDAPP01 (transaction BD20) in job. This program has a very good option for parallel processing which can reduce a lot the time required for treatment. However use it carefully and make sure you set a packetsize high enough to avoid that your SAP system be overwhelm by demands for available dialog tasks (don't forget one dialog task is monopolized per IDocs packed to treat).
Best Regards,
Krishna
