clamshell

I just upgraded my 2011 MBP to a MBP 2016/TB 15 inch. With my old computer, when using it on my desk, I plug it into my external display and used to put a small/weak magnet in the left side, just below the left speaker, and the screen just goes off and I used it in clamshell mode, but with the...

Sorry if this has been asked before (actually no, I'm not sorry) but all this talk about using an old g3 iBook has made me want to get mine out and going. So i want battery life again, instead of plugging it in all the time. Have you guys replaced yours? if so was it worth it and has the battery...

So I purchased an ibook g3 clamshell off ebay a couple of weeks ago. One of the original blueberry models. I replaced the original 3gb hdd as it was making scary sounds. However when I went to reinstall os9/x I discovered the cd drive was faulty. The original ibook had no firewire port, so...

Hi all, I'm planning to get a baseline iMac or a Macbook Air + external display as I mainly work at the desk. Some Internet rumors say that Macbooks can overheat if you run them in clamshell mode hooked up to an external display. Is this just a myth? Does anybody have any experience of...

Just so you know this is my first post. I'm hoping someone might have any suggestions for an issue with my Mac. It won't enter clamshell mode anymore and when I close the lid it won't go to sleep itself unless I either wait awhile or usually manually do it. Sometimes the charger isn't recognized...

Hi all, I just picked up a couple graphite G3 clamshells, one of which being just for parts that doesn't run. I also have a spare i7 MBA 11'' I wouldn't mind stuffing into the spare casing. Looks like theres a guy who's done this and charging around $3k on ebay for an example. Anyone know of...

This weekend I've set up my KeyLime Clamshell to run dual-boot Tiger and OS9. Installation of Tiger had been a snap by just making a SuperDuper! copy of my Graphite-Clamshell. My journey to MacOS9 just started a few weeks ago, and I was quite amazed how snappy the system responds even with...

Hello people! I own an iBook Clamshell from 1999 with dual boot Mac OS X 10.3 Panther and OS 9.2.2. Here's the issue: the iBook does not recover from sleep when in OS 9.2.2, but it does from OS X (although it takes some ~20 sec for the mouse to start moving...) So, is this related to the sleep...
