Sets into sleep when closing le lid, even with the display connected

I have the problem, that when I close the lid of my MacBook, it goes to sleep mod. This even happens when I connect the display. Even following the steps on the Apple.com page, it still goes into sleep mode.
Please help me avoid this sleep mode problem, I want to use my display instead of my computers screen. (yes, I have a wireless keyboard and mouse, paired all of them)
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You can't avoid it. This is the way it's supposed to work.
If you have the AC adapter plugged in, an external display plugged in and an external mouse and keyboard (USB or Bluetooth), you can WAKE the computer after it's gone to sleep with the lid closed. But it will go to sleep when you close it. This is detailed here:

Need to clear form automatically when closing, otherwise it reopens with the data showing.

I have just completed my first form A9 (address is)
http://www.financialcounsellors.org/HUGS_Application_Form_to_FCAWA_3_pages.pdf
I have a clear button which works fine (If the user remembers to use it)
The problem is IF the user forgets to use the clear button. THE NEXT TIME the form is opened the information is still visible ?
How can I set it so as the form will automatically clear when closing.
Help..Please anyone.

Not sure if this is what I.m after steve. The object is for persons to fill out the form on the web and then print it.
The form will then be closed. Will makeing the form read only do that?
I'm new to this so am still getting to grips with it.

I have Firefox configured so that it should go to my homepage when started, but it takes me to the last page I was at when closed. This started with the crappy new version. Help!

I recently upgraded to the newest version of Firefox - which I hate! My problem is that I have it configured to go to my home page when started, but instead it keeps going to the last page I was on. How do I fix that.

No sleep when closing

Hi,
after installing Lion my late 2007 MacBook does not go to sleep when closing anymore. Anyone with same problem? Suggestions?
Regards,
czery

I have the same thing in Macbook Air 2010. When I choose the shut down ant the sleep option the is no result, Lion does not execute this. Please help. I don't like to shut it down each time.

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.)

KDE: Laptop only sleeps when closing lid every other time

Hello all,
I'm running KDE 4.14.1 on an older Toshiba Satellite laptop. In the KDE System Settings, I've told it to sleep when closing the lid and this works - but strangely only every other time I close the lid. It will work once, then I open the lid and it powers up just fine. Then I close it again and the screen just turns off but the laptop stays fully powered.
Any ideas what might be going on? It consistently only sleeps every other time when I close the lid (the other times it just turns the screen off).

Take a look at /etc/systemd/logind.conf
Is systemd also trying to manage this?

MBP won't sleep when closing lid

Since I did the 10.6.2 update, when I close the lid on my MBP and that the power is connected it won't go to sleep, my "apple" is still bright with the lid closed.

HI,
Try resetting the SMC.

Mac book pro is very very slow/it hangs for even the smallest tasks/even with the lid closed it is still running if it is not completely turned off. Dose any one know what may be wrong ? and how to fix it?

More details about the problem : My computer is a Mid 2012 Mac Book pro 2.9GHz i7 processor with 8GB RAM updated to OS X v10.8.5
- I ran a compleet scan of my computer for any threats ( I used virus barrier express ) and there was nothing identified
- When I oppened the Activiti Monitor there are about 20-30 processes which I do not undersatand they are run under the user "root" 2 in perticular ( Kernel_task & fseventsd ) they both take up a lot of threads and kernel_task is constantly using 1.2 GB of "real memory" which is at least 20 times any other process that is running espesially the ones that run under the user "Apple" I do not know if this is causing the problems on my mac but i tryed to forces close it and it dose not even let me click the button, the others close but reopean immideatly. I will attach a screen shot of what i have mentioned here.
- The problems I am facing are mainly performance :- To state a few examples, my mac dose not seam to be able to handile even the smallest tasks like switching tabs on safari, typing any thing, playing a movie withought stopping inbetween, etc.. ( let me elaborate on why I said its not able to handil these tasks, it is because when I am trying to do any one of the afformentioned tasks inbetween the cursor becomes a rainbow collered spinning disk and I am unable to do anything for about 10 seckonds after which it starts to work again for some time before it happens again. )
- Another concern of mine is that my mac seems to be on even with the lid closed if I do not shut it down compleetly, if i just close the lid after some time the computer starts warming up, and the fan starts running. the battery is drained at the same rate or slightly less rate than it would have if i was using it normally with the lid opean. ( altough this is happning the screen dose not turn on untill the lid is opean again )
- I have only 300+ GB full out of my 750GB so i believe these are not issues caused by my mac's memory being full ( BUT THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS WAS HAPPNING WAS WHEN MY MEMORY WAS ABOUT 720GB FULL WHEN THESE ISSUES FIRST AROSE I IMMEADITLY DELEATED 400+GB OF MY USELESS FILES THAT I HAD BEEN HORDING ALL OF WHICH WERE MOVIES ) that about covers it all PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANY ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO.
Ps: I apoligize if I have given too many unrelevant details, not enough usefull information and or if i was just all over the place with my explanations but I am really frustrated and was hoping not to miss anyting. Please let me know if any information at all is required and ill do my best to provide it.

Macbook pro not turning on after SMC reset. I have the following problem. Yesterday I noticed that my mbp 2011does not sleep when closing the screen. smc due loud fan and an X on battery symbol

Yesterday I noticed that my mbp 2011 dos not sleep when closing the screen cover. Today I Turner my laptop in. However the fan was working loudly and stayed loud. After Start I noticed an X on Battery symbol. Clicking on it, it showed 'no battery.' I found out that a potential solution for this problem was SMC reset. I also noticed that the leds on magsafe was not lightning. Despite this I tried to execute the smc reset as described on apple support site. Switching off, plugin the magsafe connector, pushed the buttons shift + alt+ ctrl + power. Then i pushed the power button, but my mbp is not turning on. I pushed several times on the power button but nothing works. The magsafe is also dark meaning the leds not lightning. Can anyone here help me on this ?

Problem solved by my own. But do not how :) magsafe again working and the laptop tooo

PowerBook G4 not going to sleep when closed???

My 15-inch 1.67 GHz PowerBook doesn't go to sleep when closed. The Apple on the back on the display stays lit and the display doesn't go dark either. Anyone have any ideas???

Check that your sleep magnet hasn't fallen. Take something made of steel like a paperclip, and see if it sticks to the outside of the case above the Apple logo. If not, the magnet inside may have moved. When the cover is closed, the magnet is directly over and affects the trackpad area. If you have a magnet (like on your refrigerator), wave it over the trackpad and it should go to sleep.

My mac keeps asking for a password when I try to install adobe flash player. Even with the hint I'm not getting it and also tried uninstall and the same thing occurred.

It's referring to the MAC password that you have setup.
A software prompts for a password only when there are restrictions set on the user account for unauthorised access to system files and folders.
