[SOLVED] Cannot prevent the screen off

Hello.
I m using xfce 4 and i want to disable the screen off after a while. So i searched for a while and i disabled it from the xfce power manager -> On AC -> Monitor. Νonetheless my monitor is going to sleep after some minutes. Is there any other way to disable this function ?
Thanks.

hi you can disable the "Energy Star" feature of your screen with:
xset -dpms
usually the screensaver is controlled by desktop environment (xfce for you) but can force adding "s" option:
xset s off -dpms

My Ipad dropped off the sofa and now I cannot get the screen to appear - it sometimes shows up bright yellow and green. What can I do to reset? or whatever?

I cannot get the screen to appear - can see if it's on or off. There are times when the screen is bright bright green and yellow then disappears. Can I reset it? if so how?

It will cost you approximately US$219.00 to US$299.00 depending on the model.
Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.

How do you play YouTube audio with the screen off with iPod 5th gen?

I used to own a 2nd gen iPod touch, which ran on an ios 4.2.1 system, that allowed me to play YouTube with the screen off. Ever since I got iPod 5 which came with ios 7, let's say I am kinda still getting the hang of how everything works. I still would like to play YouTube while the screen is off, but seem to not know how. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? It's running on ios 8, so if you could help me with this, I would gladly appreciate it!

Hi there, you can download itube, it's in the app store, and that allows you to save youtube videos for offline play. Also, you can play youtube audio with the screen off, even without a third party app. Click on a video. When it's playing, press the lock button. Press it again, to wake the device up. You should see your video on the front of the display, with a play button. Click it, and it will start playing even if the device is off. Hope I helped, ~Samuel.

I've tried everything: Power Down, Reboot, delete to uninstall and reinstall app, turn off in tray, etc.
Nothing works.

I cannot see your screen shots for some reason, but here's a suggestion:
Open iTunes on your computer, look at your playlists there. Go to your "Voice Memos" playlist, delete all its contents, and then sync your iPhone to iTunes.

Do you have backups of all the data on the startup drive? If not, do nothing else until you've backed up that data, if you still can.

Cannot display the screen of the macbook on TV. OS is Lion 10.7.2. Connection to the TV is over HDMI cable. TV shows only the backgroud picture of Lion. Do you have any suggestions for help ?

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.

I was updating my iPhone and it is stuck. It won't complete the update and I cannot turn the phone off or use it at all. How can i get it unstuck?

i was updating my iPhone and it is stuck. It won't complete the update and I cannot turn the phone off or use it at all. How can i get it unstuck?
i'm wondering if i can use my macbook pro to override the update that is incomplete.

What does this have to do with Classic operating systems? They won't run on a Macbook anyway.
I've asked this thread be moved here:
Using iPhone

I cannot open the screen,a blue box is appearing when i touch the screen,say me how to open the lock screen

Quickly triple tap the Home button to disable Accessibility features.

I cannot make the screen smaller. It will pop up the normal sizee for a second, and the go large.

I have an I-Pad version 4? I cannot make the screen go to the normal size. Squeezing my fingers together does not work. Every now and then the normal size screen will pop up for a second.

Thanks! It worked. First time I have used this. I have had the I-pad for two years.
BIll

I phone 4 has changed settings to require double clicking to open applications and cannot scroll the screen anymore.

My I phone 4 was working okay for the 4 months I had it, then all of a sudden the settings changed.
I now have to highlight an item and then double click on it for it to open. It's impossible to try typing anything.
I cannot scroll the screen either, so when I open the settings app, I cannot access anything beyond the item (brightness & wallpaper) at the bottom of the screen. The phone also now reads out what I'm highlighting and other times like when the screen dims or closes (it tells me that the screen is dimming or closing.)

The iPhone has a proximity sensor that will turn the screen off if you hold the phone up to your ear. Don't hold it inches away hold it up close and the screen will go dark, hold it away from your ear and the screen will come alive.

Portege Z10T and Win7 - cannot get the screen to auto rotate

Hi
I have installed windows 7 to a Portege z10t and cannot get the screen to auto rotate when flipped to portrait and landscape, I have had a look at the intel graphics properties and cant find anywhere their to configure this any ideas and have googled it.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi
Are you sure that you have installed all essential Toshiba tools and utilities as well as Win 7 drivers for this Portege Z10T series?
Toshiba EU driver page provides the essential software like *Tablet Easy Control.*
This utility is necessary for the auto rotation function of the Tablet PC.
I would recommend you to check if all software available on Toshiba EU driver page has been installed and run properly on your notebook

I cannot unlock the screen rotation of my iPhone 5. I double click on bottom button, slides to right, but sliding to left doesn't show the rotation icon

I cannot unlock the screen rotation of my iPhone 5. I double click on bottom button, recently used icons appear. It slides to the right, but sliding to left doesn't show the rotation icon.

You swipe up from the very bottom of your home screen to access the control center - if your on IOS 7
The way your trying was the old way.
