Can I use macbook pro with the lid closed in target mode?

Hello

I wish I could use my iMac 27 (Lat) 2015 as monitor for my Macbook Pro (mid-2013) so that the Macbook pro is closed.

Two computers use El Capitan

Is this possible?

Jim P.

A 2015 27 "iMac does not support display mode of the target.

Use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode

iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014) and the iMac later models can be used as target Display Mode displays.

  • HP Elitebook 8560w: screen using my 8560w with the lid closed and external

    Hello

    I connected my 8560w to an external monitor via an advanced docking station.  My monitor allows me to switch between two sources.

    I intend my set-up for my future office and virtually all that my activity will be on the 8560w and the monitor.

    Can I run the 8560w for a long time with its lid closed without risk?  I was in Control Panel/power/choice what closing the lid does and all sleep on battery and nothing power are.

    Is there a heat problem? Or other side effects?

    Thanks, Russ

    It should not be unwanted problems to run for a while with the lid closed.

  • CS5 Design Premium and recently bought a MacBook Pro with the retina display

    I have CS5 Design Premium and recently bought a MacBook Pro with the retina display. everything seems pixelated. Question: if I buy a large external screen for use with the product Adobe will always look pixelated?

    I can't answer that question, but I can say that CS5 is is no longer being updated for the new hardware and operating systems, so as far as I know, if you buy an external with the same kind of screen 'High definition' monitor you have now, you will have the same problem

  • Flash Builder looks blurry on Macbook Pro with the retina display

    Hello

    Interface Builder Flash looks blurry on MacBook Pro with the retina display.

    Here is the screenshot:

    Enlarge the image in actual size and notice that the interface of Flash Builder looks blurry.

    Please solve this problem.

    Andrey

    I had the same problem - could not believe my eyes on how horrible and blurry Flash Builder looked on my new Macbook Pro w retina.  Through she had suffered since last week and have just discovered this work around that someone figured out for Eclipse that also works on Flash Builder (guess b/c it is built on Eclipse).  Here is the link to the bug report that shows the work around (thanks to Brad Hudgeons):

    https://bugs.Eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=382972

    Here is a cut and paste from the bug report in the case of the above url is deleted:

    Here's the workaround:  Do "Show package contents" on the Eclipse.app.  Edit Contents/Info.plist.  Just above     Place this:  NSHighResolutionCapable 
    

    Instead of Eclipse, display the contents of the package on Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.app.   After you change the Info.plist file, go to the Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.app and reproduce.  It will create an Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 copy.app.  Delete your original Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 and rename the Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.app copy.app.  Then launch Flash Builder - you should see the text which is much clearer.  The graphics on the user interface are still unclear but at least the text should be crispy.

  • Satellite 2450: How do I start the laptop with the lid closed (LCD).

    I have connected the switch of power with cables and stretched it out and it works fine.

    My question is how can I start the computer with the lid closed? Is there a switch that allows the computer to know when the lid is closed or not? Can I remove this? where is this switch?

    This option can be disabled threw the bios of the computer and how?

    Any help apreciated

    Well, you should be able to boot up your laptop in this way, but how to market? The power button on my laptop is under the cover.

    And Yes, there is a kind of switch, which leave the phone know that the door is closed, but it's only important in Windows, it does not close or go on stand-by.

    To avoid this, just set power options to do nothing on a closed lid.

  • ES1 - 512 hibernate if it is open, but not with the lid closed. LED will blink red and blue?

    I want a laptop, when closed, to go to sleep, then transition to Hibernate.

    When open, transition work. Race walk, sleep, Hibernate.

    When closed, transition fails. Running, sleep (slow orange blinking), and then rapid blue/red flashing LED.
    During flicker battery consumption is large and the battery goes dead quickly.

    I have tried many power configuration settings.

    Cover-> nothing or sleep - same results.

    Cover-> hibernate - works, but is NOT what I want.

    Button to Hibernate, but not what I want.

    I want to do what it should - sleep and hibernation...

    What does glitter blue/red LED mean?

    OK, I found a workaround solution - with a caveat.

    The xHCI driver is apparently in conflict with something that causes chaos when the laptop tries to transition from sleep to Hibernate with the lid closed.

    This is definitely a bug that should be fixed! Acer needs to work with Microsoft to find the problem and fix it.

    If you go into the BIOS settings (reboot and press F2) and disable xHCI.

    The USB ports will return to PCI mode. All USB ports are working, even if I think they are USB 2.0, not 3.0

    Now the power level can be set to sleep when the lid is closed and it will cause a transition to Hibernate when appropriate!

  • How to turn of the NB200 - 10 G with the lid closed?

    I almost always use my notebook NB200 - 10G with external monitor/mouse. And since the powerbutton is really accessible with the cover closed, it should be possible to start the computer without having to open the lid, turn it on and then close the cover. Does anyone know how to do this?

    If you clear the netbook, I'm afraid there is no way to turn it on without pushing the Start button. (opening of the cover).

    A far-fetched possibility is to install some sort of bouncy ball out on the Start button, close the cover and then use an air pump manual external to swell for a short while when you need to start the netbook.

    But I just imagined such a solution, never tried.

    However, it is sometimes possible to put the device in hibernation. In this case, if you si vous choisissez choose 'allow the network wake-up upwards' (this is not literal, I don't remember the exact words) in the menu CMOS, turning on an ADSL connected to the LAN port (or something similar), should wake up the equipment.

    This can not be used if you unplug the power running all in hibernation, because allowing more upward by characteristic network leaves some active electronic parts and this drain on the battery in a few hours.

    I am interested that possibility, in my view, it can be a little experience. I intend to put the netbook in a more or less hidden corner, I use also screen, mouse and external keyboard. If you do some experiments, please message results here so other people can use it.
