Running external model on MBP - how do I turn off notebook display?

I mirrored the monitor, then put computer to sleep. But, when I hit my usb mouse button, or any key on my bluetooth keyboard nothing happens. Monitor does not come on. Any help would be helpful.

This is because your computer is asleep. What I do when I want to run mirrored monitors but not see my mbp's screen I just turn down the brightness. Hope that helps.

  • How can i turn off my display?

    Hi everyone, so, i`m using my MacBook Pro with one Samsung T220 Display, and i want to turn off the display of the MacBook when i get out, like i make with the samsung, only click até thw power button, and that`s it, turn off. How can i do the same thing with the MacBook Display and turn off the display when i want and don`t using the screensavers? Thanks a lot, sorry for my english, i`m learning.

    You can either turn the brightness on the internal display all the way down, or close the display and use the MBP in clamshell mode (with an external keyboard/mouse):

  • The Location bar shows me the TITLE tag info for a page in large font + the URL in small font. How can I turn off the display of the Title tag, I just want to see a list of URL's. Bad design to force it that way, I don't like it. I know what a URL is.

    '''YAHOO'''
    http://www.yahoo.com
    I don't need the YAHOO. I find it so completely annoying that you have forced me to look at TITLE tags when I am trying to find the URL I want. This ought to be a setting that I could control. Is there a hack into my registry, or something along those lines, so I can turn off this horrible design element.

    Mozilla hasn't changed anything like that in Firefox 3.6.x versions, which is getting security patches but not any further development of new or existing features. Plus, Mozilla doesn't install anything related to Yahoo, something else probably installed that.
    Please provide a screenshot of what you are talking about. <br />

    There was a feature similar to what you are describing, that was in and out of the Firefox 4.0 betas last fall, but the 3.6 versions never had anything remotely like what your description has me visualizing.
    Ate you sure that one of your add-ons isn't doing that? <br />

  • How can I turn off time display in Calendar?

    The newest version of the Calendar app seems to always show the time of each event as a separate line at the top of the event listing. While this may be sometimes useful, it is mostly redundant (since the border of the event, in Day or Week view at least, indicates when it begins). On the other hand, if the information in the event is a bit longer (e.g., a location), this information gets pushed off the standard view. Is there any way to customize this behavior (i.e., to turn off the explicit showing of times)? Previous versions (pre-OS 10.9 "Mavericks") didn't have this "problem".

    Have you tried:

    In iCal there was a preference option. It would seem that has gone away in Mavericks Calendar. Any work-arounds?

    You could make them all day events, which will display as a banner.

  • How do I turn off artwork in iTunes Mini player 11.0.4?

    I have been very vocal in mourning the loss of Cover Flow but now I've given iTunes 11 a second chance on my MacBook Pro.
    The most irritating thing is the Mini Player is no longer 'mini'. How can I turn off artwork display when in mini mode? The whole point of this is to enable iTunes control whilst working, but having a big square displaying album artwork is just counter-productive.
    I just want the option of a minimalist player when working.
    Thanks,
    Rich

    Ah right, thank you!
    I had the box with the artwork as small as possible and couldn't see the other artwork bottom left!

    Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode? Particularly when I have to do it before I turn on iTunes.

    Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

    Other than iMovie, GB always incorporates the audio files into the GB package. So just save or move the GB project to the external drive, and you're done - anything you import, edit or record will be saved to the external drive.

    The complete backup and restore procedure is explained in the link above.
    If you don't want to do a restore, then your iPad may remain in the unstable state you have for the moment.
    You can change the country in the App Store. Have a look at the bottom of the App Store screen, you can change the country and also do the permanent change via Manage > Account.
    You can change the language in iTunes via General Preferences > under General tab.
