Has anybody here got this working? I’m viewing Gig Performer on my MacBook Pro screen (Ventura) on an iPad Pro (OS 17.5), via Sidecar. Works fine cabled and wirelessly. UNTIL you close the lid of the MacBook Pro, then the iPad goes to the lock screen.
I’ve tried updating the Mac power settings, I’ve tried Caffeinated, I’ve tried Amphetamine (apps, not the drugs). I’ve tried an external bluetooth mouse. Still going to sleep in clamshell mode.
Heeeeellllpp!!
(Also, I have read (in this forum) that closing the laptop increases thermal issues (which could shut down your laptop). So, you might want to consider that as well.) [But, I think you know more about this stuff than me, so…].
Thanks jeffn1, appreciate your help. Sadly I have tried that to no avail. I’m also not particularly concerned about thermal issues as the MacBook runs cold as ice all day long, even when I’m hammering it.
These are the commands i run on my mbp m3
Disable Sleeping when the lid is closed running on battery:
sudo pmset -b sleep 0; sudo pmset -b disablesleep 1
Re-enable sleeping when the lid is closed running on battery:
sudo pmset -b sleep 5; sudo pmset -b disablesleep 0
Thanks Jose
Unfortunately that didn’t work for me either. Going to raise a case with Apple, and will report back.
Is the laptop still hibernating after the commanda above?
Probably you need to change the default command interpreter on your command line

I don’t fully remember how i did my change, but actually I don’t have an ipad and im not completely sure of the root cause of your issue
It is. Did not know about changing the command interpreter though, will give that a go! Thank you
