Hello,
I recently changed the setup that I use for my MacBook Air. I have the MacBook docked in a stand, with the lid closed. A mouse and keyboard are attached, but no monitor. In essence: clamshell mode minus an external monitor. However, I'm having a few problems. I have insured that the MacBook is plugged in. Similarly, I have checked "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off" in energy saver preferences as a stopgap measure, as well as ran caffeinate in a terminal session an attempt to keep the MacBook awake. Despite this, the MacBook continues to go to sleep after a few minutes of use, even when I'm typing. It will just stop working right in the middle of me typing. VoiceOver works entirely fine; I know without a shadow of a doubt that it is not VoiceOver being crippled by the lack of a monitor like happens on a few other machines. To further cement that it is not VoiceOver, a virtual machine I run also stops working, and iTunes ceases to play any file that may be actively cued. Skype also briefly flickers, amongst other things. After a few seconds and hitting any key to wake the laptop, it returns to normal, and repeats the same behavior 1-5 minutes later. Does anyone know what I could do to keep it awake without having to resort to a monitor? I've even tried unplugging the Mag Safe adapter and replugging it in as well as rebooting with no dice. I know it isn't hardware, as Windows runs flawlessly in a boot camp partition. Thanks in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
