Preventing MacBook Sleep
Wednesday, October 1, 2008 / Laptops & Notebooks, Software, System Settings
When I close the lid of my MacBook (The current white model) which I just purchased, it disconnects the wireless card which logs me off of Yahoo and closes out any citrix apps I might have open and so on. I close then lid when moving from my cubicle to a meeting and back. Unlike Windows, I cannot find the "lid actions".
There are software packages that can prevent your system from sleeping, even when the lid is closed. Two common ones I have know people to use are InsomniaX and SleepLess
Always use caution with this kind of modification as it can affect the stability of your system.
