Prevent Macbook From Sleeping With Lid Closed

On a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or Macbook with traditional clamshell mode, an external display, mouse, and keyboard must be attached in order to maintain the running closed-lid clamshell state. Thanks NoSleep we can now remove those hardware limitations and run a Mac laptop with the lid closed and no hardware attached. The problem I was facing was that when I had a keyboard, trackpad, and external monitor attached and removed the power supply / power adapter my macbook would go to sleep. Now thanks to NoSleep I can easily toggle the sleep mode to keep the computer awake. This is similar to the Caffeine extension which can keep your monitor awake during presentations – it also sits in the menu bar. Download NoSleep from Google Code

Reset 1Password Keyboard Shortcuts – Solved

You’ll see from the 1password support site that there is a bug having to do with resetting the default shortcut keys. There are two versions of 1Password, one installed from their website and one installed from the app store. If you use the one from the app store, you an delete these two files to reset all the preferences: Folder: ~/Library/Containers/com.agilebits.onepassword-osx/Data/Library/Preferences/ Files com.agilebits.onepassword-osx.plist com.agilebits.onepassword-osx.plist.lockfile ps: You may want to make a backup of these. If you’ve downloaded the program from their website, you will find the plist file located instead at: ~/Library/Preferences/ws.agile.1Password.plist You can also open these 1Password plist preference files with a program like PlistEdit Pro.app and simply find the following two values and delete them: ShortcutRecorder bookmarks ShortcutRecorder restoreForm For some related information, see the help article on their support forum.
