I have the both the bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I've tried pressing the power button on my Macbook and then closing it immediately, this doesn't seem to work. I've also tried to wake it by click on my mouse and tapping on my keyboard. Does this only work on usb wired keyboard/mice? Is there a trick to this? Please help, I'm so frustrated.
Got a tip for us?

How can I keep my OS awake when closing my laptop lid? (running an external display)

I don't think you can run the computer with the lid completely closed except in clamshell mode.

I downloaded a program called InsomiaX for mine and it worked great.

InsomiaX works pretty well. But you have to turn it off after every time you enable it . Well, at least, for me. It puts it in a state that you can't do anything, but hold down the power button and move the mouse. It shows a sign in multiple language and says something about restarting my computer.
