Sleep not working with external screen in clamshell mode

I have my macbook with Lion operating in clamshell mode with an external display connected as the main screen.
Although I have set the computer to sleep after 10mins, this never happens and I have to sleep the computer manually every time.
If I disconnect the external display, or open my Mac and work with both screens, the computer does sleep properly after the set time.
I can't seem to find the fix anywhere, and the people in the mac store couldn't help me either.
Can anyone help please?
Thx,

How to disable the closed-clamshell mode?
I think, this is what you're looking for ... maybe you want to uproot that question.

  • HP 4330s SRS Premium Sound not working with External Speakers

    And this is my second topic and rant!
    The SRS Premium sound driver doesn't work with USB Speakers.
    It doesn't work with Bluetooth speakers either!
    In other words it only works with the Laptop speakers.
    ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
    SRS Premium sound for Deeper Bass and Clear sound enhancement bla bla bla now in you HP Laptop
    but ONLY with your LAPTOP SPEAKERS!
    ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
    DEEP BASS on these cell phone speakers!!! Really???
    Why doesn't the SRS Premium Sound driver work with external speakers!
    I believe I have used SRS Sandbox before and ALL THE SOUND was directed to that driver and it worked with everything!
    WHY DOESN'T YOUR HP DRIVER WORK WITH EXTERNAL SPEAKERS!
    Is everyone in HP a bloody RETARD?
    FIX YOUR DRIVERS!
    End of rant!

    Oh BTW {Content Removed: rant} http://www.srslabs.com/landing.aspx?id=693#23
    23. Will the SRS Audio Sandbox work with my USB speakers or Bluetooth speakers?
    Yes, the current version, 1.6.6.0 will work. If you have a previous version that is not working with these speakers, please upgrade to this version.
    Do you have anything else to share with me {Content Removed: rant}

  • X11 on Leopard not working with two screens.

    I have two screens on my Mac Pro and just upgraded to Leopard. X11 starts up on the main screen and any new X11 windows start up on that screen, which is fine, but then the window can not be moved to the other screen.
    The window will overhang onto the second screen, but as you drag it over the window stops moving at the point that the mouse cursor reaches the edge of the main screen. The mouse cursor keeps going but the window stops.
    Even if you then click on the portion of the window that is on the second screen, you can not then drag it the rest of the way into the second screen.
    In Panther and Tiger I was able to move windows to the second screen.
    Message was edited by: scm2000

    I have also found that X11 does not work with 2 or more screens. I can not drag an X-Window to the 2nd screen at work (well maybe a few pixels onto the 2nd screen, that is all).
    And I can not use the -geometry option on X-Windows based applications to position an X-Window onto the 2nd screen, it always ends up on the screen with the Menu Bar.
    And this worked so wonderfully on Panther and Tiger.
    I use my PowerMac G5 with dual 18" monitors at work. I develop kernel level software for Linux and Windows. I'm using X11 all day long when working with Linux systems both local and 2000 miles away (work has some nice in house bandwidth).
    Being restricted to just a single monitor is a major limitation for my job. Having Mac OS X X11 support made it practical for me to use my Mac at work. Otherwise, I would have been forced to use a Windows box.

  • One USB port does not work with external Disk or USB key

    Hello,
    Back to my iMAC there is 3 USB port. The second one - in the middle - does not work pluging an external Disk, an USB key or an iPOD nano. However it works well connecting a Wacom tablet.
    Is there an explanation to this behaviour ?
    More the keyboard is plugded on USB port 1 and the mouse on the keyboard. Time to time - especially at reboot - I have to unplugged the mouse and plugged again it in order it works.
    In advance thank you for your answers
    Regards

    Since it does not work for three different devices, I will assume it is not something simple like a faulty USB cable. Since it does work for one device, I will also assume that the port is (at least partially) working.
    As a test to narrow down the cause, I would try restarting from your Mac OS X installation disc (insert disc and restart with the C key held down).
    At the first Installer screen (after language selection), go up the menu bar. Under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility. Now, connect the USB drive into that center port. Does it appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?
    Please post back the result...

  • SuperDrive not working and bootcamp seems not working with external CD

    Hi everyone,
    I have a MacBook, and the internal SuperDrive is dead, now I'm using an
    external CD drive (USB).
    Yesterday I bought Leopard 10.5.4, (need to intall BootCamp).
    The update from Tiger to Leopard was easy, and withought problems, but when I tried to install BootCamp, the partition seems correctly created, but when the program request the Windows CD and restart, a grey screen apears and nothing
    happend... also Leopard is unable to start again, just the grey screen...
    Now I found that if I press alt key, appear the Macintosh HD and i can start it,
    but never automatically...
    What can I do? I tried to reintall again with the same result...
    I need BootCamp, if not i think i waste 129$ cause the only reason to purchase Leopard was BootCamp... also I need my computer reebot again by itself, not using the alt key... that's really anoying...
    Please Help
    Best regards.

    Hi BigWaveSurfer,
    I don't have an external CD/DVD-Drive, so I made some guessing.
    From my understanding of Windows it is more likely to work with an USB-connected external drive than with a FireWire one.
    Windows XP (and Vista to my knowledge) can only support/access Firewire devices with additional drivers, that are not loadad/used during the installation phase.
    Only when Windows is fully installed the needed Firewire driver is present and Windows can use it.

  • +shift+ delete and +delete not working with external keyboard...

    Most of the time, when I try to send a file to the trash or empty the trash using the keyloard shortcuts, it will only work if I use my laptop keyboard but not my external apple keyboard hooked up to it. Ocassionally it will work with my external keyboard, but most of the time it wont.
    Does anyone have similar problems to this or know how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance!
    -Isaac
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    The only other thing I can think of is that the Finder can sometimes be slow in updating its view of reality. This is a perennial gripe about OSX. So maybe the issue is not the keyboard, but the Finder itself. Are you a fast typist? Try taking 3 deep breaths before using these key combos the next time you try to delete. Maybe that will let the finder catch up.
    I only suggest this because, otherwise, the problem is pretty inexplicable.

  • Spotlight not working with External Drive (Wireless)

    I have setup the new Airport Extreme (AE) and connected WD 500GB via USB to the (AE). Spotlight does not recognize the external drive when it is connected to the AE. It will of course work if I directly attach external drive to my Macbook Pro. Any ideas on how to get Spotlight to "see" and index this external drive. Thanks.

    I was able to get my Airport disk working using the following Terminal command:
    sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/Maxtor\ HD
    Replace Maxtor HD with the name of your HD. (The slash indicates a non-breaking space.)
    It took awhile and then it started indexing.

  • Illustrator shortcuts not working with external keyboard?

    I have a Mac keyboard attached to my macbook pro via USB. I use the CMD+Space shortcut to zoom when working on my laptop, but for some reason this short cut does not work? The SHIFT+Space shortcut still works to use the 'hand' tool.
    Any ideas? I have been searching for hours. Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Do you have a windows mouse that you can plug into your laptop? Then you can option+scroll quite easily. It's kind of willnilly if you try it with a mac-mouse though.

  • Kernel panics with external mouse in clamshell mode

    Have had more than 6 kernel panics; usually after waking; always in clamshell mode when using a Logitech wireless mouse (with or w/o software loaded) or Kensington USB trackball (with driver loaded but not worth using w/o driver). Does not happen with Apple USB mouse. Does not happen in laptop mode -- haven't tried laptop mode w/external mouse. Always on work Ethernet when in clamshell mode.
    Has occurred w/OS 10.4.9 and 10.4.10. Have run extended Apple hardware test w/no results.
    Have removed Logitech “LCC” file from user/library/application enhancers.
    Have experienced panics w/a variety of apps open/active, including just Safari.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Greetings.
    I'm having the same problem as Beanfield. I'm using a MX620 Logitech Wireless Laser Mouse, and it produces several problems under Mac OS X 10.4.10. The micro receiver is plugged to the rear of my iMac Intel Dual Core and altough I've switched it to the USB ports of my Apple Keyboard it still happens.The Kernel Panics (with the Grey Screen of Death) happen mostly when the mouse awakes the computer. Very often, when right clicking or single clicking items, the menus appear and disappear. Dragging items becomes impossible and even after restarting the iMac the problem persists.
    It also interfers with the keyboard: sometimes the cursor blinks when moving and when I press any key on the keyboard, it resumes its normal activity. Recently I've added 1 G of RAM, but I've excluded it from the problem since it worked normaly with my now defunt Mighty Mouse. Also, I bought a 500 G Lacie external drive that works very well.
    I'm getting very frustrated since this problems began only a few weeks after my purchases, which took in account full compatibility with my system. All drivers are correctly installed so...what's happening?
    Best Regards
    Pedro

  • Adaptiva Software Distribution not working with Cisco APs in Local Mode

    A worldwide customer would like to use a new Software distribution system called Adaptiva to replace SCCM within Windows environment. As far as I understand, Adaptiva is designed to work like a snowball system. A single PC at a remote side can be "infected" with new Software and will distribute the package to other PCs within the same IP-subnet, saving WAN bandwidth.
    First tests are showing that it is working well with Cisco WLAN solution as long as we are using Flexconnect WLAN APs.
    Customer locations with Local WLAN AP design create problems for this new software distribution method.
    The WLAN-PCs can be reached from outside, but the establishment of the Client/Server-model between the WLAN Clients is not working. The Port used by this software for communication between clients in each WLAN subnet is UDP Port 34329.
    Our WLCs are running at  7.4.130.0. The problem is appearing independently of AP Multicast settings or Broadcast Forwarding.  Enabling Broadcast forwarding without Reboot did not improve the situation.
    Global Multicast Mode and IGMP Snooping are also of no influence.
    P2P Blocking Action is "Disabled" within the WLAN setup.
    Who has any idea what might cause this communication problem between WLAN clients in Local Mode of APs ?
    Thank You for answers
    Wini

    I can think of two solutions. You could 1: turn the "auto-lock" to never, so that your phone never sleeps. Or, you could 2: jailbreak your iPhone and install "insomnia". I wish we had the Cisco Mobile app. I usually use wifi/insomnia and turn data off at work since we have wireless pretty much everywhere...

  • External (thunderbolt) display not working at all when in clamshell mode

    I have a brand new macbook pro (2014).  With a thunderbolt display and external keyboard/mouse attached, I use the computer as a 'desktop' all the time (lid closed).  Always worked fine, until I upgraded to Yosemite.  Now, either the machine doesn't boot at all, OR (even more strangely), it takes many minutes to boot up, and the animation of fades and also the mouse cursor jump around extremely slowly--the interface is completely unusable and I have to open the display and manually force a shutdown by holding the power button down.  Without an external monitor attached, everything seems to work just fine.
    Has anyone else experienced this, and has anyone found a work around?
    Thank you,
    Frustrated with Apple's apparent software quality decline,
    Mark

    Ran Etrecheck and my results are:
    Problem description:
    Thunderbolt Display doesn’t come on after power up. Also my desktop picture gets changed after display is restored.
    EtreCheck version: 2.1.5 (108)
