Screen goes dark (sleep) when using handset in phone mode
When I am talking on the phone and remove the phone to hang up the phone goes dark (into sleep mode?) Is anyone else having this issue, does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance for your help
I had that problem when using a case that covered the proximity sensor. I don't know if you're using a case or not, but taking off the case solved the problem right away.

10.4.3, Screen goes to sleep when playing DVD
Hi All,
I've recently upgraded from 10.4.2 to 10.4.3. Now, when I fire up DVD Player and watch a DVD, the energy save kicks in every 10 minutes and makes my screen go black. Very annoying.
In 10.4.2, DVD Player must have over-ridden the energy save settings. I could watch through a movie without any problems.
Any help for making it work like it did in 10.4.2?
Thanks,
ChipWelcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried to set the timing of Energy Saver in
Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver?
Yes, I realize that I could go to Energy Saver and change the setting to extend the time before the screen goes dark. But, I don't want have to do this every time I watch I movie. It's a pain and I'm likely to forget to switch it back. Under 10.4.2, it just worked...just like the Apple motto. It was very nice. Now, under 10.4.3 it stopped working in this nice way.
It's always sad when upgrades (10.4.2 -> 10.4.3) result in a step back in user experience.
I'm hoping that there is a setting somewhere that I missed or that there is a patch that I can download that'll fix this problem.
Thanks for the suggestion. Any others?

Screen goes to sleep when watching full screen video in browser
Hey,
On my MacBook Pro, with Mavericks, I often watch MLB.tv, WWE Network or even Youtube videos on full screen. Since upgrading to Mavericks, my screen goes to sleep after the normal amount of time based on my power settings in the system preferences. In previous versions of OS X, if i had a video on full screen, whether it was with Quicktime, VLC, Safari, Chrome, etc. the screen would never go to sleep.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening other than just changing how long it takes for the screen to time out?
Thanks.I think you may want to point this out to Apple… it sounds like an oversight.

Can you set a 'hot corner' to disable the screensaver activation? It's less than ideal but it could save your sanity - just slide the cursor into the corner.
Hot corners should be available in the Desktop & Screensaver section of system preferences. I'm on another OS at present and may be mis-remebering an eariler OS feature. -
Screen goes to sleep when opened
Shortly after the install of Lion I started noticing that my screen goes into sleep mode or just shuts off completely after I open my macbook pro. I tried the general method of refreshing the screen of pressing the spacebar but that only worked for a week or two. Now I'm having to press "fn > F1 or F2" in order to get the screen to come back on. Any ideas on what's going on and how to fix it?
Simply install the upgrade, create a new disc with the new hardware drivers. Boot into Windows and install the new drivers from the newly burned CD.
For Boot Camp related troubleshooting post your problem in the Boot Camp forum.
For Windows problems try the Mac forums at the MicroSoft forums or pose the question in the Boot Camp forum.
If your Windows installation is corrupted you can try booting from the Windows installer and running the system repairs. -
Computer does not put itself to sleep when used in lid-closed mode
Hi. I'm having a small problem when using my macbook pro with the LED display, lid closed and with external keyboard and mouse. If I leave the computer unattended, the display goes to sleep at the time specified in system settings under energy saver. The computer, however, does not go to sleep - the white power indicator remains solid and noises for new email etc can still be heard.
I should probably just try to remember to put it to sleep manually but I keep forgetting. Does anybody know what settings I need to adjust?I tried cycling the old battery many times, and the computer would still shut down unexpectedly instead of going to sleep when it ran out of power. I got a free replacement from the supplier [http://myworld.ebay.com/cbkusaelectronics>, but I have cycled this new battery twice now, and it still does not go to sleep when it runs out of power. The capacity of the battery is fine (4.9 Ah), and the timing calibration seems fine as well. I have two older batteries from NewerTech and they allow sleep every time, so I think my computer is fine. Can anyone enlighten me about the cause of this problem? Does my battery lack some 'sleep battery' cell in it for use after the other 4 cells discharge? Or does my battery lack a chip that communicates with the computer? Is there any hope of getting this battery to support sleep when discharged?
Has anyone else seen this problem consistently in a brand of battery? Does anyone have a recommendation for a cheaper battery that does not exhibit this problem? I have been happy with NewerTech, but they cost over $130.
(I only paid $44 plus $10 shipping, so I probably got what I paid for. It is maybe still worth it to have a high capacity battery for such a low cost, but I can't rely upon it in those last few minutes or I may lose work.) -
MBP screen goes dark - only when plugged in
Hi, my four year old MBP 15" hasn't given me any trouble until now.
Recently I have only been able to use the mac on battery power as the screen goes almost completely dark once I plug it in. I have changed the settings in system preferences within power and displays, however this hasn't solved the problem.
Prior to taking it to a repair shop, do you have any suggestions what is triggering the light to go dark ? Thanks in advance.Hi f, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
It sounds like it could be a bad inverter board, but I don't know if that would cause it to happen only while using the power adapter. Depending on your exact model, it could be:

Screen goes black occasionally when using
When I am using Ipad 2 The screen goes black, an apple soon appears, about 3 minutes ,
Later the slider appears and I can open. I have tried resetting , but it always returns,What are you doing when you get the black screen? Any particular app or game or site? Any commonality with crashes can lead to an idea of what is messing with your device.

i just bought mac aie 13 inchs for 1 month, and it constantly blacked out and goes to sleep mode. I need to press the keyboard to wake it. how can i solve this problem?
This problem seems to be affecting many people, and not just on the MacBook air.

Screen goes partially black when using Motion or Compressor
Hi,
I recently upgraded my RAM to 3 GB and am experiencing a problem I never had before. I assume it's related. When I have FCP, Soundtrack, and Motion open sometimes the screen will go mostly black when I play my simple animation in Motion. Parts of the screen are visible with eventually most of the screen coming back. However, sometimes about half an inch of the bottom of the screen stays black. This problem also occurred today when I used Compressor.
The RAM I added is Crucial 2GB 200 PIN SODIMM 256X64 DDR2 PC2-5300.
I also just zapped the PRAM and the problem still exists. Any help would be great!
Thanks much.I still haven't solved this problem. I'm really wondering if the RAM I bought is faulty or incorrect?
Today, after yet another mostly black screen I opened "Activity Monitor". It shows for Page In / Page out 65609 / 35157. Not really sure what it means, but I assume that's too many page outs!
Ideas???
Thanks. -
PMG5 suddenly goes to sleep (When using Toaster Titanium)
Since yesterday my dual g5 2*2,7 have developed a new problem.
Im trying to toast a dvd for my sister as a x-mas gift, but whenever I start the encoding process the computer after a few minutes suddenly goes into sleepmode without warning. Im suspecting some sort of heating problem because if I wake it up shorty after it goes down in sleepmode again a lot faster than if I wait for a while. Any tips on how to verify any heatproblems? leaks maybe?

Safari on iPhone 5S stops playback once screen goes dark
This is very annoying. Any time I try to play a track form a website the playback stops when I go to a different app or when screen goes dark or when I lock the screen. I have tried reseting all settings etc etc. Nothing seem to cure this. Is this a known bug? Anyone else has this problem? The same happens if I play an embeded track via Facebook, which basically launches safari and starts playback. Once the screen is dark the playback stops.
Hi
Try holding sleep/wake + power button for 10 seconds, until you see the Apple Logo.
See how that goes.

when I use Adobe Send the screen goes dark when I hit send but never seems to complete the send task! and recover the screen?F
Hi frank at luray,
Does this issue occur with any file that you try to send, or do you find that it's specific to one file? If it's a file-specific error, and the file is large, please try sending the file via Adobe SendNow. (You can sign in to Adobe SendNow at Sign in or create an account | Adobe SendNow using the same credentials you use to sign in to Adobe Send.)
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

Music stops when screen goes to sleep but my headphones are inserted correctly?
I have an Ipod nano 6th Gen, and when the screen goes to sleep the music stops. I have set up my sleep/wake button to play/pause so when the screen goes black and the music has stopped, I press the sleep/wake button twice and the music starts again without the screen coming back on. I have read other comments and I have made sure that my headphones are all the way there does not appear to be anything obstructing the headphones either. Is anyone able to help me? Thank you
Solved by using a 3rd party music player that can access the library on the iPad and no longer using Apple's iPod app.

Screen goes to sleep even when viewing movies in full screen mode
Hi, I have adjusted my settings so my screen goes to sleep after 5 minutes which is ok. But it also does this when viewing movies in full screen mode.... Is this a setting somewhere? Thanx!
Welcome to the Discussions!
"When the computer is inactive" or "idle" means when YOU, the user, are doing nothing, neither using the keyboard nor the mouse. So you have to increase that 5 mins in Energy Saver.

Edge 540 model : when I connect/disconnect AC power cord, screen goes dark
For the past few days, everytime I connect the power cord, the screen goes dark for a second. The same thing happens when I disconnect the power cord. Can someone help me find out what is wrong with it? Is it a hardware issue or is it just a momentary glitch (It just started happening yesterday)?
My laptop is brand new so I can use the warranty if i have to.
OS: Win 8
Thank you.this is a normal behaviour it happens all the time. It is your refresh rate changing between different power setting. Set the screen refresh rate at 60 hz for both battery and with ac adapter connected this should prevent the momentary blanking of the lcd.
