    Resolved Help/Idea - MBP M1 Pro/Max No Display Output in HDMI with Clamshell mode

    I wonder if anyone experience the same issue with MacBook Pro 14/16 with M1 Pro/Max chip; if you only plug in HDMI cable to your monitor and a mouse via USB. Close the MacBook Pro lid down into clamshell mode. The display will never wake up, as if the computer is just sleeping. No matter what I...

    Buying help: MBA or MBP for mostly clamshell mode?

    After many, many months of delaying replacing my mid-2015 MPB in light of new product announcements, it is time. At this point in time, the MBP is overkill, as I use it mainly for remote work via Logmein connected to an office Windows system. My only concern with a MBA is whether I would have...

    My 2015 MacBook Pro won't go to sleep in clamshell mode...?

    I use my 2015 Macbook Pro primarily in clamshell mode (closed with external display/keyboard) but when I put it to sleep the screen goes black for about 5 seconds and then wakes up again. I don't have any 'stay awake' apps like Caffeine running, and I'm not moving a mouse or touching any other...

    What's your 15/16" MBP desk setup?

    I'm really interested to know (or see) how all of you with the larger laptop use it while at your desk? Do you just use it without an external monitor? Do you have an external keyboard and monitor? Is the monitor off to the right, left or straight-on? Seems like a waste of a great screen...

    What Emulators/Games Run Best on the G3?

    So I understand the G3's capabilities are... not particularly broad, especially relative to newer and faster PPC chips. That being said I am pretty uninformed when it comes to the plethora of software that both runs and has been optimized to run on the thing. Emulators in particular peak my...

    Hey everyone, thanks for the advice on my last thread. Decided I'm going to end up attempting to install Tiger on my G3 Clamshell. (300MHz) That said, I need a Tiger install on CDs instead of a DVD, because of the age of the machine. I had someone mention that there was a CD-Burnable Tiger...

    iBook Clamshell keeps putting itself to sleep when attempting to install 9.2

    Hello all, hope your doing well. I noticed that my iBook Clamshell wouldn't boot one day, so I tried removing the battery and it got it to start into the installed 10.2 and it seems to be working fine. I decided recently that I wanted 9.2 installed instead, but when I boot from the install CD...

    '18 or '19 MBP: clamshell mode?

    I currently have a 2015 MBP, I use it mainly at home in clamshell mode (closed, vertical in a stand), with external display. I'll likely be buying a 2018 or 2019 MBP soon, and wondering if anyone has experience with either of these in clamshell mode; want to be sure there's no issues with that.

    Missing memory? an area on clamshell logic board where onboard memory was never added

    Hi. Longtime, but occasional reader here. So I've owned a couple of Rev. C clamshells (an indigo and a 466 key lime) over the last dozen years. With the latter, I restored it partially earlier this year — adding a 128GB SSD, a DVD-RW (which mates to the original bezel), and an LG XGA 1024x768...
