Hi guys,
So lately i've been leaving the lid on my MBP open (at home) as I go to either work and/or school for the day. I stay logged in, even though the screen itself is on and requires a password. But as I said, I'm logged in on my MBP that's at home.
I've done this because it allows me to access any file on my MBP from either my iPad or iPod Touch...with LogMeIn. Aside, I've heard there are an array of apps for the iPad that allows you to stream any movie to the iPad, even though the movie in question is actually located on your Mac. So long as your Mac is turned on and are logged in; i.e. without the Mac eventually going to sleep.
I'm wondering if the same could be achieved even with the lid of my MBP closed?
I ask this because I have a 3 year old at home that likes to touch anything with a screen and freak out he'll see my MBP and accidentally tip it off my desk table. The times I've seen my little one at home and my MBP off (w/ lid closed), he won't even go near my MBP.
I'm wondering if with the lid closed, if I can still have my MBP "on" and be logged in, even though the lid is closed and is not really being used.
I'm really hoping this is an easy solution.
