Shut off Powerbook Display without closing the Display

I just set up a great external monitor and everything is appearing on the external perfectly. There is nothing appearing on the PBs internal display except for the blue desktop background. I don't want the built in display to get burned with the blue desktop pattern. I am using the PBs keyboard as my main keyboard. Is there any way in Tiger to make the built in display turn off without having to use the display-closed mode so that I can continue to use the PBs keyboard?
Thank you!

eww,
Duh! I thought that there would be more to it.
Thank you again, very much!!!

Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

How do I close a numbers document without closing the entire app?

Can anyone tell me how I can close a numbers document without closing the entire app? i.e. go back to the folders display page - is this even possible?

It is not a bug, but a new feature. 
Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and Bookmarks menu (Alt+B) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.

How do I selectivly close the only not responding window (without closing the other 3 responding windows)

Presently, I have 4 windows opened, each with a bunch of tabs.
Since I restarted firefox this morning, one out these 4 windows, keeps on not displaying.
How do I selectivly close this only window (without closing the 3 others windows)

Here is what the manpage shows:
[ps(1)|http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/p s.1.html]
state The state is given by a sequence of letters, for example, ``RWNA''. The first letter indicates the run
state of the process:
I Marks a process that is idle (sleeping for longer than about 20 seconds).
R Marks a runnable process.
S Marks a process that is sleeping for less than about 20 seconds.
T Marks a stopped process.
U Marks a process in uninterruptible wait.
Z Marks a dead process (a ``zombie'').
Additional characters after these, if any, indicate additional state information:
+ The process is in the foreground process group of its control terminal.
< The process has raised CPU scheduling priority.
<div class="jive-quote"> The process has specified a soft limit on memory requirements and is currently exceeding that
limit; such a process is (necessarily) not swapped.
A the process has asked for random page replacement (VA_ANOM, from vadvise(2), for example,
lisp(1) in a garbage collect).
E The process is trying to exit.
L The process has pages locked in core (for example, for raw I/O).
N The process has reduced CPU scheduling priority (see setpriority(2)).
S The process has asked for FIFO page replacement (VA_SEQL, from vadvise(2), for example, a large
image processing program using virtual memory to sequentially address voluminous data).
s The process is a session leader.
V The process is suspended during a vfork.
W The process is swapped out.
X The process is being traced or debugged.

My iPhone 3Gs randomly shutting off at any given moment. I could be in the middle of a text, a call, or doing some games and it'll just shut off.
Now here's the unique part. When I go to turn it back on, the apple loading screen pops up but it takes somewhere from 3-5 minutes for it to boot up. Then the lock screen with the time and whatnot shows up. From this point on, my iPhone has a chance to shut itself back down and I have to repeat the process over and over again. Most of the time the lock screen flashes and then goes straight to black (shut down) but sometimes I can make it a few menus before it shuts itself down.
The only way to keep the iPhone on is to plug it into a charger of any sort. I'm fairly certain it isn't a battery charge issue because this happens at any % of power and sometimes my iPhone can use up all of its charge and not have this happen while other times I can be at 90-100% and it could randomly shut itself down. What can I do in this situation if some has some solution to this problem please let me know on [email protected] Thanks!

Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

How to open a folder inside a folder, without closing the first?

I can't find a way to open a sub-folder, inside a mainfolder, without closing the main folder.
What's even worse, if you hold "option" or "command," (old OS9 muscle memory kicking in) it opens the new folder but wipes-out the ability to use the back button! So then if you needed that main folder open, and it's deep inside some chain, you have to go searching for it again.
So, is there any fix for this?
<Edited by Host>

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

How do I move pictures off my phone without losing the pictures permanently? Is there a way to keep the pictures in the cloud without them being on my device?

How do I move pictures off my phone without losing the pictures permanently? Is there a way to keep the pictures in the cloud without them being on my actual phone? I'm concerned that the sync feature will remove the pictures from the cloud when they are deleted from my phone.
Thanks for the help.

Can I back up iPhoto to the cloud via some apple service (iCloud)
No
or do I need to use something else? If so, any recommendations?
An external hard disk:
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

In CVI !!!! How to dynamic change BaudRate of RS232 Serial COM Without closing the Port !!!

Dear all:
I want to change the buadrate of serial com without closing the serial com, but it failed when I use the function "SetCommConfig(m_hCom, &Com_cfg, Com_cfg_S) " to reset the buadrate ,baudrate is no change when use GetCommConfig to read back the value.
Appreciated all of your advice . TKS!
Code with WINAPI as beloow:
CreateFile(..) ;
GetCommState(..);
dcb.BaudRate= 1000000 ;
SetCommState(..);
//......do other things
//change baudrate to normal without closing port .
GetCommConfig(m_hCom, &Com_cfg, &Com_cfg_S);
Com_cfg.wVersion = 0X100;
Com_cfg.dwProviderSubType = 1;
Com_cfg.dcb.BaudRate =9600 ;
Com_cfg.dcb.StopBits =1 ;
SetCommConfig(m_hCom, &Com_cfg, Com_cfg_S);
GetCommConfig(m_hCom, &Com_cfg, &Com_cfg_S);
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This topic has been discussed some years ago: see here. Please note that even if I made that sample program which changes the baud rate without closing the port, I never used it in a real situation: you'll need to made your tests and check if this solution can satisfy your needs in the short and long term.

How to create a Child Window without closing the parent Window

Hi All,
I have a requirement to create a child window without closing the parent window. I have to click an item in the parent window, then one child window should get open. The parent window should not be closed before closing the child window.
Kindly help me in this.
Thanks and Regards,
Myvizhi

Hi All,
I found the solution for this. I have created a new page. Then i created an item as link item style in the parent page and i have set the following properties in the Link item:
Destination URI : OA.jsp?page=/seagate/oracle/apps/seasoa/que/webui/SeaSoaHeaderDetailPG&headerId={@ErrHeaderId}&retainAM=Y&addBreadCrumb=Y&backPage=S
Target Frame : _blank
This is opening the new child window without closing the parent window.
Thanks and Regards,

How do get rid of a tab group without closing the tabs? How do I take tabs out of a group?

I accidentally put all my tabs in one group. I'd like to get rid of the group without closing all the tabs in it; in other words, to undo putting all the tabs in one group. It would be useful to know how to remove a tab from a group without closing the tab, accidentally putting a tab in the wrong group will probably be a common error that needs to be easily undone.

Reset the SMC and then try a restart or shutdown from the drop down menus.

Then if that doesn't work, backup because you have an OS X issue that will require either a repair or reinstall.
