I own a macbook pro 13 inch model no. A1278, my mac goes to sleep as the lid is closed. i have changed the power settings to not never put my mac on sleep, please help as it affects myy work, i want the work to go on as i close my laptop lid.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
Right, I was replying to a post that wanted to do this without running additional apps on the machine, like me. Also, no sleep worked for me, caffeine just didn't do anything.
http://code.google.com/p/macosx-nosleep-extension/ takes care of it. Apparently.
Use NoSleep, a freeware for Mac users.
Thats what i wz searching.... 🙂
Hey WFT Surveys! what are u trying
How about when mirroring video onto MacTV. Do I really have to keep my laptop open while doing that? Seems like a bit of an oversight. I'm with all of the non "Mac apologists". Please fix this.
I'm guessing that Mr. Ned Ludd can be found somewhere within Mr. snugglezz family tree.
Your mom can be found riding my family tree, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. HONK HONK, AWOOOOOGA!

As was mentioned earlier in the discussion, the big problem with closing the computer isn't losing unsaved files or wake-up wait times. It's failed downloads through internet browsers.
Please check on this:

Pretty sure this is an easy fix.
Open a terminal window and type the command:
caffeinate
As long as you leave that terminal window open, your macbook will not go to sleep, even if you close the lid.
2. I'm walking down the hall to a meeting and have the same issue. Why should I advertise what I'm working on? What if it's the latest layoff list?
So YOU'RE the guy
Open Terminal. Type caffeinate. Press enter

Thanks for the tip.
Caffeinate works.
