Can't switch between HDMI and VGA displays

I have a new H430, with hdmi and vga ports. My HP zr2240w monitor permits switching between AVG and HDMI displays, which I would like to do. But when I plug in both cables (HDMI and VGA) only VGA will work. If I switch to HDMI or make it the default display, the screen freezes at the desktop background: no mouse, no taskbar etc. Is is possible that the D430 video card will not support switching between displays (on a single monitor)
thanks,

Dear Monika and Mylenium: I figured out part of the problem, but not the solution: The shape I had drawn -and coudn't switch between fil and stroke on-is one I had already done a gradient mesh on, too. I had later abandoned the gradient mesh by using the option key to delete mesh lines, but that didn't take the shape all the way back to its original flat state. So it wasn't a plain drawn shape any more. So how do I release the gradient mesh to get back to a flat shape? I'm also having trouble keeping the shapes in RGB or CMYK mode-they keep defaulting back to greyscale. Could that also be a symptom of using gradient mesh? Note: I'm using gradient mesh for the very first time now; I've never used it before. It seems to leave a lot of unexpected baggage behind. I would send a screen shot, but if I start up Grab or Voila, all the AI pallets go away, and that's half the information. So how do I control gradient mesh?

A540 How do I switch between HDMI and PC inputs?

When I have an HDMI source plugged into the A540, I haven't been able to figure out how to switch between HDMI and PC inputs. How is this accomplished?

You can browse the other store but unless you have a credit card and billing address in the other country you will not be able to purchase.
All prices are in the local currency of that country that you are browsing.

Can I switch between Illustrator and Photoshop? (I am subscribing to only one product per month)

Can I switch between Illustrator and Photoshop? (I am subscribing to only one product per month)

Absolutely. Just change the sim card and the APN details in the settings. You can do this either manually if you know them or just sync with iTunes after changing the sim and the details will sync. Once you have done it once for each network the device seems to remember the details.

Can't switch between fill and outline.

Here's the problem: I'm on an iMac, new, trying to use illustrator CS5. after using CS3 for a few years. In CS5, if I draw a shape, flat, in the illustration, then try to give it an outline, or change the outline, or do anything with the outline, I can't. If I click on the Shape tools in the toolbox and draw out an oval, for example, I can switch between outline and fill without any problems. Select shape, go to toolbox, select curved arrow for switching from one to the other. That's it. But if I draw a freehand shape, then try it, i can't do it. THIS IS A BIG CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THE APP. GET IT? What is the problem? If it's something I have done, fine, tell me and I'll fix it. I tried calling Adobe support in Bangalore, and it took 30 minutes just to get the problem thoroughly appreciated by the techies. They just couldn't get the idea for half an hour! I had to go over it 4 or 5 times. And they couldn't come up with an answer. they were no help at all. I'm hoping the forum will yield better results. This is pathetic, guys. Your 90-day tech support is a worthless piece of crap, guys. The only tech support we have is this catch-as-catch-can forum. I've been using Illustrator since 1987, (illustrator 88) believe it or not, it's true. And I've always been able to get tech support to cure the ills. Not any more. Is that the way Adobe plans to offer tech support? if there were a way to contact Adobe Tech Support by going around Adobe Bangalore, i would use it. But, alas, I am stuck with this.

I want to switch between mirroring and separate displays for presentations

I am trying to switch between mirroring my screen for a presentation and then using seperate displays. Is there a way to create a shortcut in the menu bar?

Well, that's the way to create a shortcut in the menu bar in Mountain Lion. It's supposed to show up any time you have the external display connected (or when an eligible Apple TV is on the same network).
Are you running Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x)? Your profile doesn't say. I don't recall whether it worked on Lion.

Hi i want to switch between rad, deg, and grad in numbers

If you purchased it within the last 14 days you can return it for a full refund and then purchase the 5G. Otherwise Apple will only give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod and purchase a new one.

T510 Nvidia 3100M - Can't switch between integrated and discrete?

I just received my new T510 laptop. My old T500 laptop let me switch the graphics card by right-clicking on the Power Manager, but on this new laptop there doesn't appear to be a way to switch from the Intel to Nvidia GPU without going into the BIOS. Can anyone help me figure out what is going on?

Go into BIOS, set it to Integrated only, load up a game, note the framerate. Go back to BIOS, set it to discrete only, load up the same game, and note the framerate. Go back to BIOS, set it to Optimus, and load up the same game. See if it corresponds to the integrated framerate or the discrete framerate.
The Intel GPU can run MW2 moderately well:

My HD3470 can run MW2 at 960x600 with all options turned on and textures to auto.. The NVS3100M should be twice the speed and should run it fairly fluently.

Docked T500 - Switch between headphones and speakers

Hey guys,
I am using my T500 with an Advanced Mini Dock at work. I keep the headphones (with microphone) plugged into the docking station.
Sometimes I want to listen to the audio on my laptop's speakers rather than inside the headphones. Is there any way I can make this switch without unplugging the jack from the docking station.
I know that above the volume bar for some systems you are able to switch between headphones and speakers and also, up until ~1 month ago I was able to do this from the SmartAudio utility, but now I can't. I can just switch between SPDIF and headphones.
I am using Windows 7 64-bit and I have all the latest drivers and apps that come using the "System Update" utility.
Please let me know if you have a solution for this.
Thank you,
Ciprian

I'm pretty sure that the blame for this lies entirely with Microsoft and their stupid hardware-detecting W7 OS. Yes, it actually detects when you unplug the headphones, tells you what you just did, and promptly resets all sorts of things. The most sensible thing you can do (apart from reverting to XP, which doesn't do this) is to plug an external stereo jack to stereo jack socket extension lead, and plug either your headphones or speakers into that instead, whilst leaving the plug end permanently in the laptop. Microsoft can't pull that stupid stunt on an external connector, so you should be okay with that.

Unable to switch between txt and Facebook

After the 8.1 update I can't switch between txt and Facebook anymore. Not sure if its something I'm doing wrong but I used to have a button in each contact that allowed me to txt them or send it to their Facebook inbox. I no longer have that button, yet I have group set to on. Does anyone know if this was removed with the new update or I'm missing something out. Thanks Donna
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would agree that removing the facebook/social media integration is a definite step back. Microsoft reasons that with the new implementation it will be easier for 3rd part developers to fill this gap, I personally think this was a bad design choice and found that this functionality specifically was great and very useful.

Switch between CDMA and GSM Iphone 5

Hi,
I am wondering on the Verizon Iphone 5, can you switch between CDMA and GSM via a setting or is it still like the iphone 4s where you have to remove the sim card to switch back to CDMA?
Thanks.

A SOLUTION: cut another corner and insert the nano-SIM upside-down, and keep a SIM card ejection tool on your key ring or tape one to your phone's case or both.
Adam, and anyone else who like us, was hoping that there were a software based method that would allow iPhone 5 users the option of toggling between Verizon (or other CDMA carrier) and whatever other SIM Card based GSM carrier we have inserted/installed into our SIM tray.
For myself, I have a SIM card with the "Minutes" type of plan, specifically the minutes plan that gives 2000 minutes for $100, which is good for one year. This is my backup network.
Since I do not need a SIM for the CDMA network that I use as my primary network, my SIM slot is empty (I am not running LTE, only 3G).
So, in order to be able to switch my handset from one carrier to the other, which would be most helpful in the event of a system failure on my primary carrier I can switch over to my "backup/gsm network; it would be very, very nice to be able to toggle between the two networks, (like in the old days where we could simply select either the 'A' {non-wireline} or the 'B' {wireline} carrier/network) by simply pressing a couple-few buttons. It is funny to me to actually realize my old "Brick" phone actually had a feature lacking on my iPhone 5.
This would have been great during hurricane Sandy when my Verizon service was (literally) dead in the water for several days. And, there is always the possibility of a cell site going down on the primary network, again.

HP Slate 500 and HP HDMI to VGA Display Adapter (NP031AA)

The specifications page for the HP HDMI to VGA Display Adapter (NP031AA) (Link) doesn't list the HP Slate 500 as a compatible device in the campatible products list (Link).
Do these two products work together?
What VGA resolutions can I project using this cominbation of products? Am I limited to 1024x600? or 1024x768? or does it support displaying higher resolutions?
I'm thinking about making a purchase but I don't want to get the adapater if it isn't going to work.
Thanks,

Yes an HDMI to VGA adapter will work fine. Keep in mind it will not carry audio but neither did your old vga connection so I am assuming it is not a problem.
You would find an HDMI to VGA at any Best Buy or you can order on one amazon.com such as here:

Connect the projector and use the Windows key at the lower left of the keyboard and the p key at the same time and it brings up a "projector" console that lets you easily switch from laptop to projector to laptop + projector.

Mac Mini (Late 2014) 2 display HDMI and VGA

Hi,
I got my new mac mini and i have 2 display. One is with HDMI, other is VGA.
I will use normal HDMI port and thunderbolt port with Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter from Apple to use them both, and i want to "Extend" my screen but the Apple guy on the store told me that "you only can duplicate the screen, can not extend it; both your HDMI and VGA monitors screen the same thing."
Is it correct? Because i think he is not sure about what he said it doesn't make sense to me.
Regards.

I have no idea where what person is getting his information. I have used yur arrangement on my 2012 Mini which has one HDMI and one Thunderbolt port.
You sense is better than that person's. You you can have extended display with HDMI and VGA via mini displayport (plugs into Thunderbolt port) to VGA adopter

Why will Firefox allow me to have multiple tabs available, but not allow me to switch between tabs, and can only look at a new tab by closing the previous one?

Whenever I open a new tab, it appears on the tab bar where it should, but if I click on it nothing happens, the tab won't open, and I can't switch between multiple tabs. The only way to get to a new tab is to close the one I am currently on, and even then it will only open the next tab in order of precedence, so I can not even choose which tab is the next to view. This problem is making it impossible to use firefox as a research tool which requires fast switching back and forth between multiple tabbed pages simultaneously.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
