No sleep on iBook


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. My iBook sleeps when I close it and I don't want it to. :angry:

I tried a program called "NoSleep" but it said my kernel wasn't up to date and there aren't any updates for my iBook. :no: What's the best way to do what I want? Perferaly I want it to only not sleep when it's plugged in and is closed.

Thanks in advance.

That's not what I'm looking for. It looks like you need an external monitor or something. Or maybe I'm missing something? :unsure:

Wish I could help but I'am seeing the same thing your seeing on that site with another monitor

You can also use that hack to enable closed lid operation mode... so that when you close your iBook lid, the Mac doesn't go to sleep. I enabled it but sadly it didn't work... guess I didn't do it right.

Either way, I don't suggest you do it anyways. Heat is also released off the keyboard and palmrest areas by convection (along with a fan on the inside), so heat rises, right onto your LCD. I wouldn't trust the little $5 or less fan to save your LCD from closed lid operation.

Hmm. :wacko: Maybe someone could point me to a way to keep iChat running while still in sleep mode? My main reason for it to not goto sleep is for iChat to stay open overnight. I would keep it open but that'd keep me awake.

there isnt a lid closed setting for power management in OSX like there is in windows to pick if the system sleeps, shuts down or does nothing when the lid closes? :blink:

Hmmm.... Why would you want to keep iChat on all night if you aren't going to use it?

lots of people do this with AIM and MSN so why can't they with ichat?

Just press the brightness down button down for about 4 seconds and voila, your screen goes off!

Unless the silence of your iBook is too loud that you can't sleep at night, I don't see what the problem is there. I do it every night, not a bit of a problem.
