Using computer in closed clamshell with second display sleep issues

Hi,
I'd really appreciate someone's input here - this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3131) guides you through using a macbook pro in closed clamshell with a second display - the trouble is that my machine goes straight back to sleep within seconds of me waking it up?? - I'm using the 'allow bluetooth devices to wake this computer' setting.
Can you help?
Thank you.
Graham

Is the computer connected to power?

MBP randomly crashes when in clamshell with external display

Hi Mac people.
As described in the "subject field" i have been encountering some random crashes after i startet using my MBP in clamshell with my newly pruchased 24" 16:10 NEC display .
typically it occurs after about 10-20 minutes of playing world of warcraft.
-the screen goes black, saying no signal, and the MBP doesn't react to anything else but holding down the on/off button.
i have tried using the key combination alt-cmd-eject to see if i could make the computer sleep and then turn it on by opening the lid.-getting it out of clamshell to get the built-in display active again.
but none of that worked.
i also checked the dvi<->mini-displayport adapter for lose connections but i didn't find any
i have had my NEC display for about a month, and the problem has occured about 8 times now.
befor i started using my MBP in clamshell with an external display, i had no problems.

Lets give it a try. 1st of all post your s/n (so I can run a check on your specific model) or check with system profiler if your machine has the NVidia Geforce 8600 M GT. Or see for yourself: http://www.chipmunk.nl/cgi-fast/applemodel.cgi
IF SO:
Surely, you've heard about the generic problems with this specific video chip: sooner or later most of them will fail due to chip packaging/bonding issues. If yours has not failed before, it may be doing so now because you're driving it harder with a larger external monitor attached, thus probably running the affected videochip hotter. Very useful link: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/MacBookProvideofailure.html#novideotip , loads of other useful links on the subject therein.
To solve this, Apple has instigated an extended warranty, so do not tread on the tail of your machine's capabilities any more. Once it will not boot (which may eventually happen), it gets really hard to run diagnostics. Have it checked by at least 1, preferably more ASPs (see link), and kindly ask them to reiterate the test 2 or 3 times. Often, the problem will not show up on the 1st try.
I am reading increasing numbers of questions and complaints about this on the Flemish/Belgian Apple forum "Intermactivity", most users seem to be unaware of the problem (though this has been common knowledge for years), and moreover, most ASPs are reluctant to acknowledge it.
So if your machine is one of the affected, you will really have to stand your case. Especially in Europe!

I can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

i can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software - neihter version 6 or 7 - since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck!

So I have this machine side by side with my new Imac 21.5 inch 2.5ghz Intel core i5
So is there a way to make it as a second display? Or do anything with it?
Obs: I used a ethernet cable to erase my Imac 24 and now I getting the grey screen with a file Icon with (?) inside
Please don't tell me to trow it way.....
Hope to get some help.

So After it load, it asked to choose the language and O got the this:

HT3924 Using 2011 27" iMac as a second display.

I am using a 2012 iMac 27" with a 2011 iMac 27" in target display more via Thunderbolt. Every time the display sleeps the iMac in target display mode's screen stays dark and does not wake up. Even after the recent Thunderbolt Update.

⌘-F2 Toggles it on and off. So when this happens, I try to do it quick enough that most of the windows don't reset, but most often it resets everything. So not only is it a couple extra steps everytime I use the computer, but I also have to move all the windows back.
The iMac in target display mode still thinks its connected to the other mac, in that all the windows are still stuck on the other side until I reset it.

Using a macbook pro as a second display for an imac using a thunderbolt to thunderbolt cable

I know I can use TDM to use an imac as a second display for a MBP with a thunderbolt to thunderbolt cable. Is there any work around to use a MBP as a second display for an imac with a thunderbolt to thunderbolt cable?
15" MBP w/retina running maverick 10.9.4
21" imac running maverick 10.9.4

No; the MacBook Pro doesn't support video in. If desired, use a product such as ScreenRecycler over a network.

Problem with second display in premiere CS5

Hi. I have a problem with external device, I have Mac Pro with ATI radeon HD 5770 and two displays 24 LED display that is primary and second 27 LED cinema display, in Premiere on external device only none and DV 720 576 and no second display.

That's the thing, Steve. Using the secondary monitor for playback, it should not be able to show any part of the desktop at any time. It should show only black if nothing is playing, or it should show what is playing in one of Premiere Pro's monitors. But never the desktop.

Resolution Limitations with Second Display

What´s the maximum video resolution macbook MB403 can drive?
I´m using a second display (Samsung wide screen syncMaster 226BW, and after configuring it at 1680x1050 - which is the usual resolution for this type of display, I realized that the actual resolution was not greater of 1280x800, although the video configuration set indicated and normaly accepted the 1680x1050 as the second display resolution.
Is there a configuration setting I have forgotten?
It seems that 1280x800 is the higher resolution accepted by macbook own display. Is there any relation or limitation related with a second display?
Thanks.

So does anyone have experience with the Envision 22" LCD display (G2219w1)?
It works well with my 5-year-old PowerMac G4 BUT with the MacBook the whites and grays are tinged with color and the overall colors are overly saturated. Moreover, the pictures are grainy and text is muddy. I can't seem to find a good match of resolution after trying several combinations. It's reasonably sharp at 1680x1050 but the image is quite small (about 3" border on all sides which is pretty much the same size as the MacBook).
Is there anything I can do? I've tried lots of adjustments on the LCD and in the display configuration on the MacBook.

24" imac with second display that flickers on and off randomly

Hi, I'm a n00b here, I've read a handful of threads before posting this a I cant seem to find a definitive answer.
I have a 24" 2.4Ghz aluminium iMac and I've recently purchased a HP zr24w 24" IPS panel as a second display, connected with an apple miniDVI - DVI connector.
The screen flickers off, to totaly black every time the mac seems to be having a hard time doing something, be it fast scrolling, flash video, but someimes randomly.
I have boot camp installed with winblows vista (for work) the screen does EXACTLY the same thing, all be it less frequently. This for me rules out the Mac OS, i think it must be something video card/driver related.
Was there ever a fix for this? most of the threads seem to just die with no official answer, it would appear that MBP users were ok until the last 10.6.3 update, when the problem seems to have returned, although i think thats a different issue with the same net effect.
I have spoken to apple care and the very helpful girl I spoke to send me some logging software which I've run and sent the logs back, that may help them out someway.
Any help would be GREAT !!
many thanks
Michael

well, some time has passed, here's where I'm at so far.
I tried a friend's samsung 24" screen and all was good with the world, no flickering on and off, no black outs nothing, for days it was all fine. I swapped the HP monitor back on and it went right back to its old ways. I called HP tech support, they decided that the monitor was faulty, i returned it to where I got it from and they have sent me a new one. Which was fine, for about 7 hours!!
So, to recap, the mini-DVI to DVI adapter is fine as it worked on the samsung screen, the HP screen is brand new and exhibiting the exact same issue as the first one (cant be 2 faulty ones surely) The samsung screen was fine.
This leads me to think that there is some compatibility issue between the 24" imac and this particular (hp zr24w) monitor.
I have followed apple support's requests for data logging but they cant find anything wrong there.
I'm out of ideas, any help would be GREATLY appreciated !!!
thanks
Michael

Using a PC laptop as a second display?

Can anyone tell me a way of connecting up an iMac to a PC laptop so that the laptop acts as a second display? I'm running audio software and need to switch between edit windows all the time. I know you can get mini DVI to RGA adaptors, but im not sure if it'll work?!
iMac Intel 2.33GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yeah, it works fine. It's just that there is two main windows I have to use, and having the laptop as a second display would mean I could save time switching between them instead of messing about on one screen.

Second Display Quality Issue

I have a mid-2010 iMac 27" and it works wonderfully for me. I need a second monitor to place other applications on, so I grabbed an unused Asus VN247H monitor that my son was not using. It has a 24 or so inch display and accepts HDMI and VGA inputs. I purchased an Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter and connected the Asus to the back of the iMac. It works, but I'm underwhelmed by the quality I get on the Asus. Yeah, I know - it isn't a top-of-the-line monitor, and it is never gonna look as good as the iMac, but it isn't a $10 el cheapo, either. It is a good monitor and has a 1ms refresh rate. Anyway, no matter what resolution I try using, the output on that second display looks, well... crappy. The text letters are a little blurry, they are a lot larger than I figured they would be, and - I don't know - it just isn't what I was expecting. One thing I notice is that in the documentation for the monitor, it shows that I should be able to go up to 1920 x 1080 but that isn't the case. When I bring up the OS X System Preferences-->Displays, on the Asus VGA part it only shows a max setting of 1600 x 1200. I tried clicking that but the monitor complains and sez it's past the capability of itself. I am supposing it's because of having VGA instead of digital??
So, I've ordered the Apple Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter in hopes that an HDMI digital connection will give me better looking display and the full compliment of resolution options. Am I out in left field on this supposition? Or, is there some other thing I've not thought about in order to get a sharp looking second display?
Thanks, Jim

Well, after four days, there have been a grand total of ZERO replies to this post / question. Either my question was lame, or no one else has run into a second monitor quality issue. At any rate, I'm answering my own posting - perhaps someone, somewhere might run into the issue and come across this information.
The answer to the question is: YES, changing to an HDMI connection between the iMac and the secondary monitor made a HUGE difference in quality. Why I went with a VGA adapter in the first place is unknown. But the HDMI connection is for sure the way to go. Colors look good, text is "almost" as good as on the iMac.
Problem solved.

No Wireless Internet with External Display, Other Issues

Hello,
When I connect an external monitor to my MBA, I lose my connection to the Internet. The wi-fi signal remains strong, but pages will not load (I tried many) and I cannot retrieve email. The connection times out when I try to ping as well. This occurs whether I have the MBA open or closed. The loss of Internet happens immediately when I connect an external display using the supplied dongle, and returns the moment I disconnect it. It is clearly an issue with external displays.
On the advice of an Apple Genius, I also tried disabling bluetooth. I did so, and turned off all my bluetooth devices (Apple keyboard and mouse, iPhone), but the problems persist.
The other trouble I am having is difficulty connecting to a network for the first time in a session. In other words, I was connected all day yesterday, take the MBA home, and return to the office the next day. MBA takes a long time to see the network, then fails to accept the password. If I carry the MBA closer to the wireless router, it finds and connects automatically as I'd saved my password. When I return to my desk, I remain connected with full signal strength. This has happened in two locations, one with an Airport Extreme, the other with a Netopia 802.11g router. When my Macbook Pro is sitting right next to the MBA, it recognizes and connects to the same networks almost instantaneously.
Anyone have any suggestions? Much appreciated.

Just a quick update... I was on the phone with Apple Support on Saturday morning and I thought we were making progress. The basic idea behind the proposed solution was that there was some "Preferences" that were causing the problem. We started over with a clean Preferences folder and tried connecting up the external monitor. At first, this approach was showing progress. The suggestion was to copy over my original Preferences (I had made a backup copy) just a few at a time until we figured out which ones caused the problem. The problem with this approach is that immediately after I got off the phone, the internet started not to work again. So, even with a clean Preferences folder, the internet would quit working after connecting up the external monitor.
So, I'm back to the drawing board. I have since restored my Preferences folder and I don't have my external monitor and internet working at the same time. BTW, I also upgraded to 10.5.3 and it didn't help.
Still bummed,
Kevin

Flash SDK and MacBook Pro with Retina display major issues

Hello,
Apple has recently released Macbook Pro's with Retina displays.
I have tested my Flash application on the new laptop, and this is what I observe:
My Flex SDK Flash application looks blurry and strange when I try to check it out from any Macbook Pro with Retina display, while looking sharp and OK from all other machines.
On this screenshot you can sort of see the issue:
http://i.imgur.com/UXHd4.png
(Expand the image to the actual size, and compare the Flex SDK components with browser labels. Browser labels look crisp, Flex SDK components look a little bit blurry.)
Please fix this issue.
Andrey

Sure. LR 4.3 even specifically adds Retina support...

Display sleep issue

Hi all,
Recently I started to have issues such as unable to select some of my applications running in the background after waking up from sleep display mode. This is not computer sleep, just the display sleep. I am suspecting that it is display sleep mode because the issue seems to only happen after the display is waken up. When I try to select my Mail app. for example, which is in the background, via the Dock or via the app. switcher mode, it can't be done. The app. doesn't want to come into the foreground. I had to force quit the app. via Terminal and then its ok again. This is not only happening to Mail app. but any other apps that are in the background. It seems to be happening randomly on various apps, not just one. At times, the app. is still open, which is indicated on the dock, but the app. switcher is not showing it. In conjunction with this problem, when I shut down the computer, it will come up with a menu saying to confirm shutting down the machine, otherwise it will shutdown within certain time. I try to click "yes" but it can't execute, like I can't select it at all. Still, other times, the Dock will stop working, ie. can't launch any apps. I had to to a kill and relaunch from terminal to activate it again. Initially I suspected that could this be due to that I am running low on hard drive space, which interferes with the virtual space that os x uses. By running low, I mean I am only left with 10 to 15GB out of a 200GB hard drive. I am running 10.4.11 on a macbook pro 17" santa rosa, 4gb ram. I am thinking this is less likely the issue.
Any clues, I would appreciate to hear from you all. Thanks.

Hi BD,
sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, thanks for the educational info. That will help me when I am low on hd space. After using Applejack, the system seems better. More so, I checked the console log, and I think I had another culprit. Apple's remote desktop enabled function (allowing my machine to be controlled remotely) kept crashing. I had teleport function that kept coming up with error messages as well. So I disabled both functions in the end, and things were better. Well, until I got hit with a blank screen syndrome where external and internal display didn't work. I suspect this could be a nvidia gfx bug failure. Either that or the logic board was malfunctioning. In anycase, I send the machine in for a repair and things are working well, hopefully for longer term. Thanks again for your help BD!
