Turn off display without shutting down?

I'm downloading a pretty large update (nearly 4GBs @ 190 hours estimated time) to my office computer (a Mac Pro w/ large display) and I would like to shut off the screen display, yet leave the computer on over the weekend. Reason being is that I am the only Mac in the entire building and well...lots of curious, lookie-loos like to salivate over my machine. Usually, I simply Log Out every night.

4GB should not be taking 190 hours to download. That is about the size of the 10.7 download, and if you get lucky that should be done in an hour.
You can turn off your display whenever you please, with impunity. If you have multiple displays, you may find all your open windows on the "last display standing" when you resume.

Are you referring to a MacBook Pro? I have the tower.
As far as the time to download...I noticed we were having connectivity/transmission issues before I left the office. Not sure why.
So Grant, are you saying that I can put the computer to sleep and it will still download the files? I have to go back into the office tomorrow so I'll check to see if transmission improved.
Thanks all!

Shut off screen without shutting down accelerometer in Touch

Due to Apple firmware limitations in the 2G iPod Touch, it is not possible to shut down the Touch screen and keep the accelerometer running, so running the Sleep Cycle application on the iPod Touch causes the screen to stay on all night and become very warm
Apple please please could you change the Touch firmware to support shutting off the screen without shutting down the accelerometer so that Sleep Cycle can be run on the Touch like it now runs on the 3G and 3GS iPhone.
This would open this excellent little application to the whole Touch market segment, making the developers very happy and allowing me to get up in the morning.

USB external HD does not turn off after system shut down

This is not a new issue in Leopard. I had this issue also in Tiger but I never bothered to ask whether there may be a solution to this issue.
I have firewire as well as USB HDs attached to my iMac. If I put my computer to sleep both the firewire and the USB HDs turn themselves off. The HDs come back to live after I reawake the Mac. But if I turn off the iMac then only the firewire HDs turn themselves off. The USB HDs remain turned on.
Is there a setting somewhere that can be changed so that the USB external HDs turn themselves off after system shut down?

Since the issue is not a Leopard issue, and maybe not even a Tiger issue, you might check with the drive manufacturer for some assistance.
Does the drive turn off when you eject it and then pull out the USB plug? That's important.

Media keys won't turn off when computer shuts down

I've been experiencing a problem with the media keys on my P305-S8834 laptop running vista 64. The computer will shut down completely, but the media key lights remain on. They will go off when I start and shut down the computer a couple of times. This problem is recent. Up to about two weeks ago the shutdown was normal. Appreciate any help with this.
Solved!

Satellite P305D-S8834
Media key problems like that are sometimes solved by resetting the motherboard.
With the battery and AC adapter removed, close the Power switch for 30 seconds.
Re-attach those, press the Power button to turn the computer on, and then immediately press the F2 key while the Toshiba logo is displayed. Press F9 to restore the BIOS default settings, press F10, and then select Yes (Exit Saving Changes). The computer will restart.

MacBook Pro 15" won't turn on after a shut down.

My MacBook Pro 15" late 2008 mavericks won't turn on after a shut down. Tried SMC reset, plugged and unplugged charger multiple times as well as installing the battery. It has started that after a while I have replaced my old battery with a new one,upgraded to Mavericks and increased my memory to 4GB. In the beginning after I would install every time the battery ,it' would turn on after 8-10 tries. Today it's completely unresponsive . Tested different outlets, with and without battery,nothing worked. I also heard that some other people have this issue once they have updated their operating system from 10.5.8 to Mavericks. Is that the problem.? Has anyone found a solution to this?

Turning off sync without loosing music

After a year of managing my own music transfers I made the mistake of using iTunes sync to give my iPod a fresh reload to make sure all my edits to the library were up to date. Now I can’t turn off sync without iTunes threatening to erase everything on the iPod. As a temporary patch I’ve got iTunes set to only sync checked items but it’s really lame to have to trick iTunes into leaving my iPod alone. Anyone know how to turn the feature off without wiping the iPod?

#@!&%$# ... using my "sync on checked" trick wiped everything without warning. I guess I got my wish and I can go back to manually managing the iPod. I HATE iTUNES! It's deliberately crippled in so many ways ...

Can we put RAC database in Archivelog mode without shutting down

All,
Can we put RAC database in Archivelog mode without shutting down.
Currently our new production database (2 node RAC) is in no archive log mode, Need to enable archive log in the database...
I believe we need to set the cluster_database=false and then put the DB in archive log mode then we need to bounce the database to take effect...
Just curious to know in 11gR2 ...Can we put the RAC database in archive log mode without any downtime ...?

Even RAC or non-RAC, database should bounced and enable/disable archive log mode from mount status.

Adobe Reader is free. It always has been.
You have obviously downloaded and installed Acrobat (30 day trial version) and the trial period has expired.
You need to uninstall Acrobat (using the Control Panel and Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features [Vista/7])
Then run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
to completely remove the Acrobat installer files.
Then download Reader 9, install it, and go about reading PDFs for free.
EDIT: Please, please please.... do NOT post a phone number in the forums.
You're inviting trouble if you do.

Tuxedo transaction branch in GMTREADY and cannot finishit without shutting down weblogic server

Trying to reproduce a problem in an application we are deployed a servlet in a
weblogic 8.1 sp2 server, doing the folowing:
1. Begin a transaction
2. Call a tuxedo service (tuxedo 6.5) via tuxedo gateway "A"
3. Call another tuxedo service (tuxedo 6.5) via tuxedo gateway "B"
4. Before commit the transaction in the servlet, we shutdown tuxedo gateway "B"
5. After commit transaction branch via gateway "A" remains indefinitely in GMTREADY
state, while transaction branch via gateway "B" gets GMTABRTONLY after timming
out.
After commit(that fail doing rollback), transaction is not reported like inflight
in weblogic server. We cannot finish transaction branch in GMTREADY state. Only
after shutdown weblogic server, and after an undetermined time(sometimes a lot)
transaction branch is rolled back.
While transaccion is not rolled back, all locks in DB remains active.
How we could finnish that branch without shutting down weblogic server, or, if
not, how we could control the time in witch transaction is rolled back?

We open a case with BEA eSupport and the servlet problem was a bug. Engineering
got a
temporary patch that seems to solve the problem. The case continues trying to
solve our original problem (the servlet was to reproduce the situation).
Thank you very much.

Hi Jose,
Can you provide a little more information. In particular, what are the
JTA timeout
values configured for your WLS application? Did you set the interoperate
setting
to Yes under the WTC local access point's connection settings? When
you begin
the transaction in the servlet, do you specify a timeout value and if
not, do
you know what your thread's default transaction timeout value is?
If possible, can you post or e-mail your WLS's config.xml and the domain
configuration
files for the two Tuxedo domains (not the UBB files, although those would
be helpful
as well.)
Thanks,
Todd
