Re: having mac not go to sleep when closing lid?
Following up on this thread I came across something that sounds even better, a command to turn the screen off completely. The article is a bit dated, but fascinating nevertheless: http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/14/disable-the-internal-screen-on-a-macbook-pro-or-air-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/ Can't wait to get mine back from repair to give this a try under High Sierra.

Re: having mac not go to sleep when closing lid?
Hi Hank, There is a program for the mac called "no sleep" it sits in your extras menu. And, I believe its free! I used to use it with my old mac book pro and it worked perfectly.

Re: having mac not go to sleep when closing lid?
Yeah, I expect my next Mac will be either a mini or some kind of rack mount, which I gather aren't being produced any longer for some reason. Sometimes I rather wish I'd gone that way in the first place instead of going for the portable.

What, you mean like my mac mini where it's connected to a keyboard a touch pad and the network and power, Screen what screen?

Re: having mac not go to sleep when closing lid?
It would be nice, definitely. Remember, though, that you can grab an adapter that simulates a monitor without actually being a monitor. It's ideal if you can't see the screen anyway. I don't know what it uses for energy, but I can't imagine it's very much given that it doesn't display anything. It's called a headless adapter in case anyone wants to look them up. -- Alex Hall > On Mar 10, 2018, at 13:26, 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > It would be both accessibility friendly and eco friendly were the > external monitor requirement to be dropped.

It would be both accessibility friendly and eco friendly were the external monitor requirement to be dropped. Why should we burn fuel to power a device we don't use?

Re: having mac not go to sleep when closing lid?
Thanks for this suggestion, Simon. With this kind of setup I could move my Airbook onto a shelf somewhere, afaik. Unfortunately, I won't know for awhile. I need to take my Airbook into the local Service Center and hope they can fix me up. It appears my battery has swollen from the Airbook being on constantly over the years. Typing on the keyboard is an unstable experience, with the Airbook rocking back and forth. I'm powered off for now.

Re: having mac not go to sleep when closing lid?
Hi, The difference between Clamshell or PowerNap sorts of conditions are different than not allowing the Mac to sleep. These are controlled instances where specific processes are allowed and others are disabled. Items like backlight and such are disabled during these processes whereas keeping the Mac totally awake could be problematic in my opinion. Later...

Re: having mac not go to sleep when closing lid?
In addition to the discussion already, Apple has "PowerNap" features enabled on SSD macintoshes that will download updates, perform indexing and do some other background tasks even with the lid closed. For that matter, if I plug my iPhone into the Macintosh while it is not sleeping, and then close the lid even though the backlight has turned off, my phone is still charging. I have used this in a pinch when phone battery status jumped from 60 to 20 while trying to figure out the exact spot of a bus stop I had never taken, and I wanted to make sure I knew the right stop to get off, so I pulled out lightning cable hooked it up between Mac and Phone and then put the Mac on my lap.

Re: having mac not go to sleep when closing lid?
I'm not concerned about this, because closed clamshell mode is officially supported by Apple. I have to think, then, that they take heat into account, or they wouldn't let users have this mode.

RE: having mac not go to sleep when closing lid?
Yeah but then you have to be aware of heat disapation up through the keyboard Now if you close the machine and still have it running then you have heat hitting the closed screen and causing heat build up in the keyboard screen region of the device, It’s not something I’d vbe recommending.

Re: having mac not go to sleep when closing lid?
That said, there is closed clamshell mode. If you connect power, a screen, and a keyboard to your Mac, it will stay active when closed, though presumably, its screen will turn off. Note that, if you don't have enough sight to need a screen, you can pick up a dummy unit that will trick the Mac into thinking there's a screen. I got one on Amazon for $15 a few years ago and it's still working perfectly.
