How could I switch off primary Macbook screen?
I'm working with 2 External via Thunderbolt and HDMI on new Retina Macbook.
I want to switch off retina display and work just with external monitors without closing the cover of my laptop. Is there any setup option for that? I didn't find it under Preferences.
It seems to be possible to sleep display so by I/O Kit:

But I am not sure whether it can control single monitors.
you are searching for the 'clamshell' mode. the only way i get this to work is to wake my mac with external keyboard while the lid stays closed
see: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3131
This worked like a charm on my old macbook (late 2008) with opening the lid again and the screen stays off until 'force' detecting it...
however, my retina display also wakes when in clamshell and then being opened.
There is a reason to this: Heat.
Aluminium macbooks can get really hot, especially since the vents are in the back and blowing the heat up in front of the opened display. Your retina macbook shuts itself down at about 110°C to 130°C, but please be careful.

This is a weird one. I turned Airplane mode on awhile ago and now cannot turn it off.
I've tried fairly extensive troubleshooting based on what I've found on-line, though most of it is just a rehash of the same advice.
Confirmed the physical WiFi switch is On
Tried Function + F3
Tried Function + Print Screen
Disabled and enabled the network adapter
Not sure what else to try. Here's a screenshot showing relevant settings. You'll see that the Airplane switch is toggled on and is actually disabled.
Try booting in Windows 10's safe mode and changing the setting or using Registry Editor again. It's possible a driver or something got stuck and is disabling it.
In my case, there is a switch on my laptop body. If it is there and it's off then turn it on.
That's it!!

I am working on making a large multi-touch table which is powered by Windows 10. I have the idea that multiple people could work on the table at once, on different windows. The problem is, Windows 10 only allows one windows to be focused at once. This makes it impossible for more than one person to work on it at once, as the focus would keep changing, and it would not work well at all. I was wondering if there is some way to make multiple windows 'focused' at the same time.
Thanks in advance for any help given.
I cannot give you a definitive answer on this, but I looked into using several mice and keyboards on windows a while ago, and the main problem was that you could not have several windows focussed at the same time, which messed up keyboard input. I have found no solution to this.
Since in windows 10 touch input is similar to mouse input, your only getaway may be virtualization.
E. G. have each window run by a virtual machine which has been assigned one keyboard and one mouse. This way, every window would respond to input whenever (focussed or not)
As for touch input, I guess you have one single input device, but the virtual machines may be able to read input form the screen while out of focus (I never tried this)

I need to change my mouse and I am looking to buy the Apple magic mouse but I'm not sure if there are drivers to install it on Windows and use it in a way that Magic Mouse functionalities can work fine on Windows. I've read across the internet about a software called "Magic Utilities" in addition to the driver for basic functionality of a standard mouse, however I don't bought the magic mouse yet, then I can't test that. I wanna know if we're completely able to make magic mouse work on Windows 7 (even on Win 8 or 10, I could run an update).
Thanks.
It will work if you have the right drivers but not all Bluetooth dongles work with the Magic Mouse

I have two HDs in my Macbook Pro 15 in late 2009. I installed bootcamp and updated to Mavericks. My Windows partition in running Win7 Ultimate. I set the the boot disk in OSX to be my windows partition and now my laptop doesn't recognize me holding down the option key to choose which partition to boot. When windows boots i have to start the on screen keyboard and then close it for my keyboard presses to be recognized. The quote key causes the option and control keys to stick and delete doesn't work at all. I would use the bootcamp panel to switch back but it didn't install. i would really appreciate any help because i'm behind in my web dev projects and don't want to reinstall OSX because i'll lose my data, plus i took out the disc drive for my other HD.
You should try reseting PRAM.
If it not helps than probably some key are stuck and it cause other keys don't work.
Try to find and fix broken key by using this or this manual.
If it not helps, than it probably hardware keyboard problem.

I bought a dell laptop which comes without o/s, so I buy Windows 8.1 DVD and install in the new machine.
The problem is, every time when I am doing something, Windows popup a Black bar on the right hand side showing some basic buttons (Search, Share, Start, Devices, Settings), a small popup also appear on the bottom right showing current time, Wifi signal and battery life.
I pops 10-15 times within an hour. Its really frustrating when I am typing something or filling some password etc and atonce my focus from the current screen removes and I see that annoying black menu.
I even don't know this menu name.
Can an expert help me removing this menu.
Thanks in advance
That menu is called the Charms bar, and appears when you move the mouse to the top or bottom right corners and keep it there for a few seconds.
