Power down monitor when listening to music

Is there a way to power down the display when using my mac as my stereo, as when I am just playing music in my itunes library? I tried in preferences>energy saver to set it to go off when computer is inactive after 5 minutes, but that didn't work. Thanks. Frank
PS This question pertains to my Macbook 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Version 10.4.10

If her MacBook is still under the one year warranty, I would definitely consider getting the Applecare Protection Plan.
It extends the warranty to 3 full years from the one year standard warranty.
My understanding is the screen is like $500-700 to replace.
The student price on Applecare for the MacBook is $183.
See this -> AppleCare Protection Plan - MacBook/iBook
Plus, she can call Apple anytime (instead of only 1st 90 days) for problems.
I hate sounding like shill (I'm not), I just think it's pretty good deal.
It's like most insurance.
If you need it, you'll be very glad you got it.

  • When listening to music on ATV, it plays two songs from the playlist, then won't play any more.  You can see playlist and songs, but won't respond.  Any ideas?

    When listening to music on ATV, it will play two songs from the playlist, then no more.  You can see the playlist on songs, but it won't play.  Turned everything off, reset the network...nothing works.  Any ideas?  It used to play fine...for hours at a time.

    Hi.  Thanks for your reply.
    It is happening via "shuffle" in a playlist.  Always two different songs within the playlist.  You can see the next song on the screen that should, theoretically, be playing...but nothing happens.  Even when you push "play" on the remote, it doesn't receive the command. 
    I reset, then restored ATV.  Now, it doesn't limit itself to two songs, but does stop after a few.  The more trial and error I do, the more I believe the problem is with Homesharing in iTunes.  If I turn off Homeshare, then turn it back on, a couple more songs will play in the playlist.  I have shut down iTunes, restarted computer, completed updates, but nothing seems to change it.
    It used to play fine for hours on end, but has now found this glitch.

  • For some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store.

    for some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store. my old iphone 4s audio jack was messed up but i just got a new one with my warranty , can anyone help me please.

    It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
    Set you phone up as a new device and start over.

    Sometimes when listening to music or a podcast, it will stop and start in rapid fire.  I have a 4th gen iPod Touch.  A Genius suggested something went wrong during the transfer from my MBP to my iPod, but I tried resyncing it, and it seems to happen haphazardly.  Even if a podcast plays oddly one time, it might play perfect the next - so it can't have been the sync that went bad. 

    - First try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next restore from backup
    - The restore to factory defaults/new iPod

  • Lumia 920 crash when listening to music

    Hi,
    My Nokia Lumia 920, windows 8 mobile keeps crashing when I listen to music from "Nokia Music". I usually use nokia-provided headsets when listening to music. In recent times the crash has become more frequent. When listening to music, the handset just reboots without any notification.
    Is there a place I could look at the crash dump and submit it as an issue ?
    OS Version: 8.0.10211.201

    have you tried a soft reset? i'm not talking about what you think might or might not work, i'm talking about trying it. it doesn't wipe any data. if it still doesn't work, then you may need to perform a hard reset (Settings > About > Reset your phone), which will wipe everything, so please make a backup to PC and/or online storage of your data first.
    failing that, you will need to take your phone to your Nokia Care for inspection: http://nokia.com/support

  • Iphone 5s overheats when listening to music

    my iphon 5s overheats when listening to music sometimes after only 2 or 3 songs.
    i took it into the apple store they gave me a new phone after seeing there was 5 overheating notifications.
    now it happened again on my new phone. i heard something about disabeling syncing between icloud and safari. will this work?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again? If still no change, a restore "as new iphone" would be the next step. In that case don't use your backup to get your data back, it may contain damaged files causing your problem.

    When listening to music on my iPhone 4S, the music stops when the screen fades. I am not using my earphones. Can someone suggest some ear buds that will work with my iPhone4S? The Apple ones do not fit...too small.

  • Updated to 4.4 and now my Bluetooth 'studders' when listening to music and a phone call. Yes I have reset the phone and removed the battery.

    I just updated my Note 3 to 4.4.2. Since then when I listen to music or make a call on my Bluetooth my music and calls 'studders' and has some type of 'drop-outs' during the music and calls. This was not the case prior to the update.
    Yes, I have power down the phone. Yes, I have removed the battery and restarted the phone. My Bluetooth headset is an LG 730. I tried listening to music on my other Bluetooth devices and they also 'studders' and has drop-outs during calls and music. I connected with a wired headset and the 'studdering' disappeared.
    Is there a way to revert back to the previous 4.3 version of Android. I use my phone extensively for business and drive with it. The law for my state requires 'hands free' usage of my phone.

    Unfortunately, I was forced to do a factory Reset. This wiped the device to a new state.
    Afterwards all Blue-tooth, wi-fi and calls operated fine.
    I would advise that you notify your customers that they would most likely have to do a Factory Reset once they update their device.
    All contacts, pictures, data and applications were either lost or had to be reinstalled.

  • Audio stutters when listening to music on U410

    I have a U410 ultrabook (purchased in Nov. 2012) which has been working fine until a couple weeks ago. Almost any time I try to listen to music now (either online with internet radio or locally with mp3s), the sound will stutter and skip. This happens about once a minute.
    I haven't installed any new software or changed drivers lately, but the computer does seem to be slowing down a bit compared to when it was brand new.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem or have any ideas on fixes?

  • Phone gets hot when listening to music with Walkman app

    during the last days I have recognized that my Xperia Z3 Compact gets very warm (almost hot) when I am listening to music using the Sony Walkman app. 
    I had this issue also with the Xperia Z1 Compact earlier and had to factory reset it to fix it.
    I only face this when I listen to music. do anyone else also have this issue?

    All phones get warmer when using high cpu use apps but if the phones gets to warm then like a Pc etc it will give a warning and auto shut down to protect itself - However if you think it's to hot and you are concerned then I'd advise that you either return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care to have your device inspected http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/
