Stop dimming screen on iMac Thunderbolt

Dimming the screen in a dark room is great feature, but sometimes annoying when I'm designing. Is there a way to stop it ??

system preferences/displays: uncheck the box for Automatically adjust brightness as ambient light changes.

  • What is better Mac Mini or Mac Pro and 4K 40" screen or iMac 5K for work with Exel

    I am working on Macbook pro retina for around 16 hours a day,  it is ok but the screen is to small. I am opening about 25 - 30 EXCEL windows, 20 - 25 safari windows at the same time. Excel windows are small, they only show 40 rows and S column   Now I am considering buying  iMac 5k ( but the screen is only 27", however a very high resolution but I think that fonts and digits displayed may be too small ). I am also considering Mac Mini or Pro with 40" 4K TV ( 4k computer monitors are 27 - 31" , so better idea would be purchasing iMac 5k ) . The problem is that 40 - 42" TV don't have Display Port ( I can't find  it anywhere )
    Please help me to choose what would suit my needs better. I need large screen to work comfortably with an Excel sheets.  What is better? Mac Mini or Mac Pro and 4K 40" screen or iMac 5K for work with Excel ?. The other problem I have is that when I spend  16 hours at work with retina macbook , my eyes are ok. Using the  30'' Dell screen 2560/1440 my eyes are tired after 2 hours.
    Thanks for your help on advance
    Best regards

    Currently you can only get 4 K at 30 Hz via HDMI. Some users have reported jerky curser movement because of the 30 Hz.
    I would go for the 5K iMac. You can add a second screen at 4K.
    FaceTime HD camera
    Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 3840 by 2160 pixels on an external display
    Support for extended desktop and video mirroring modes
    The Mac Mini supports:
    Support for up to two displays at 2560 by 1600 pixels, both at millions of colors
    Thunderbolt digital video output
    Native Mini DisplayPort output
    DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter (sold separately)
    VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (sold separately)
    Dual-link DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (sold separately)
    HDMI video output
    Support for 1080p resolution at up to 60Hz
    Support for 3840-by-2160 resolution at 30Hz
    Support for 4096-by-2160 resolution at 24Hz
    The 2013 Mac Pro can use three and more displays:
    Mac Pro (Late 2013): Using multiple displays - Apple Support
    I would go for multiple screens

  • Safari has suddenly stopped working on my iMac.  I can access it on my iphone and ipad.

    Safari has stopped working on my iMac.  The error message says: "Safaru quit unexpectedly.  Click reopen to open the appication again."  When I click reopen, nothing happens.

    Launch the Console 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 and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • LED notification stops by screen lock time out

    I found some problem about LED notification. It stops by screen lock time out. My test procedure :- - Screen off by push the top button - Send test e-mail from laptop to my Q10, LED notification will flashing while now is black screen - Call in by another phone then screen will shown at the wall paper - Then after "screen lock time out", screen become dark and now LED flashing will stop So, I can not know the e-mail come in if I leave my phone for a while. Please help

    I don't have a PIN lock set up, but still LED notifications for missed calls don't work on my Pre (GSM, o2 Germany), not even after waking up the screen. At least if I only have one missed call. Strangely enough, as soon as I have a second missed call, the LED starts to blink.
    My guess is it has to do with the way the phone notifies about missed calls. With only one missed call I don't see a normal notification at the bottom of the screen, but a question dialog with two buttons "call back" and "close". Maybe the phone doesn't treat this as a real notification which would trigger the LED.
    As soon as a second call comes in and is not answered, the first missed call notification becomes a real one-line notification at the bottom and the second call gets this question dialog, so maybe this is what triggers the LED notification. But I'm just guessing.
    Anyway, this is really annoying. I can't understand why things like these are not found and fixed during testing of the update, this is pretty basic stuff, not any extraordinary user behavior.

  • OSX Dims Screen based on Content

    I've been noticing that my screen appeared to be dimming randomly (or at least it seemed random at first). I search the web and found tons of people complaining about the same behavior, and adjust their energy settings and ambient light settings, but none of it worked. Their Macs kept on occationally changing the screen brightness.
    Idleness wasn't the issue: During my tests I was actively using the computer (and I'm plugged in)
    Ambient Light: There was no change in ambient light, so it wasn't this either (and I disabled this setting and the behavior persisted).
    However, what has changed is the contents of my screen. If I go to a website with really dark graphics, or go full screen on some movies, the screen brightness turns down. I can reproduce this "dimming" effect consistently... and then I found this:
    http://www.macrumors.com/2013/01/22/apple-granted-patent-on-methods-for-dimming- screens-based-on-content-needs/
    Apple has a patent that allows them to dim screens based on their contents. I am certain this is what is affecting our screen brightness. This is meant to be a power saving feature according to the patent, but it is SUPER annoying. What I can't figure out is how to turn this setting off...
    Any help would be great.

  • How do i stop black screen from media playback

    how do i stop black screen from media playback?

    You mean. as in when you put the phone on your face when you are talking?
    It goes dark so you will not open apps are press other controls while the phone is pressed to your face.
    Don't be rediculous.

  • How to stop the screen from coming on in my pocket on my Samsung GS4

    When I put my Samsung Galaxy S4 in my pocket or my wife puts hers in her purse the display keeps lighting up because the buttons are apparently getting pushed. This is running our batteries down when we aren't even using the phones. Is there a way to stop the screen from lighting?

    Make sure that you don't press the home button or power button when you put the phone away. You can reduce the screen time out time down to 15 seconds thereby reducing the battery usage to that short time period. Also make sure that your phone sleeve is not pressing against those two wake up buttons.
