Cannot display the screen of my macbook on TV. OS is Lion 10.7.2. The Macbook is connected to the TV is over HDMI cable. TV shows only the backgroud picture of the Lion OS and reacts even to mission control. Do you have any suggestions for help ?
You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.

Hi,
I would like to get certified for the SAP Crystal Reports. So, I would like to get some info about the currently available Certification Exams for Crystal Reports (2011/2013). Also, would greatly appreciate if you have any suggestions for this Certification Exam preparation materials from another 3rd party or from SAP directly . I would like to prepare or get trained well before taking the exam as I see it costs around $500.
Thanks in advance for your help in this regard!
Sincerely,
JPlease search here.. Training and Certification Shop for your desired certification or training. Don't forget to set your location.
Please use some summarized title for your query. -
I cannot use Quicken on my new MacBook Air (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2) Any suggestions? I love Quicken and it takes care of all my financial needs.
You can wait for Quicken to update (supposedly in the works) or you can switch to another application such as Quicken Essentials or another application of which there are several you will find at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
Otherwise you'll need to return your MBA and buy a slightly older model Mac that still runs Snow Leopard. Lion will not run any PPC-only applications such as Qucken or MS Office 2004. -
I bought my iphone 5 in Houston on May 15 2013.
IMEI 013428009645399.The problem I have is that in the country
which I live GREECE the 4G is
not working.Please if you have any solution for this
problem let me know.My email is [email protected]
Thanking you in advance
Philip CouridisiPhones purchased in the US are NOT guaranteed to work with 4G bands outside of North America.
For what crazy reason did you purchase an iPhone in the US if you live in Greece? If your phone needs servicing, it will have to be brought back to the US. You cannot get that phone serviced in Greece. -
Do You Have Any Suggestions For J2ME Encryption Applications?
Hi,
Is anyone aware of J2ME applications that perform either of the following:
1) Text editor with strong crypto support.
2) Password wallet with data import/export functionality and strong crypto.
To date I have been unable to locate anything suitable to manage personal data on a mobile phone platform.
I am considering developing the required app myself, but my lazy nature has suggested that I check to see if there is currently anything suitable available.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Kind regards,
JamesKUnder settings you can go into restrictions and limit their access to certain things, such as purchasing apps, etc. But there is no net nanny for the iPad that I'm aware of. Nor is there any sort of 'parental monitor/logging' type of app that will log what they do and generate a report to you.
If you want to get them something more locked down then you may be better served to look on sites like Toys R us or the such and look for items that give you more control.
THe iPad was largely designed as a single user consumer device that allows a single person to surf, read books, watch movies, listen to music, etc. It's not totally meant to generate content, or for multiple users or for children, which is why there's not a lot of content control. -
I just received a new macbook pro. I am looking for a usb3 external storage 500 GB drive. Some manufacturers of drives aren't for sure their drive will work with the new system. Does anybody have any suggestions for drives that will workw
There seems to be a problem, just now, with the USB 3 ports on the new MBP's supporting eternal USB 3 drives. Some people have no luck at all - can't even recognize the drive - and some are reporting USB 2 speeds (those who drives are recognized). I'd call a dealer such as LaCie or OWC to see if they have USB 3 drives that actually work with MBP's with USB 3 ports. You may have to wait for a software/firmware update.

The battery for my Macbook Pro 13 "has only 121 cycles and is not charging anymore, my Mac is telling me that it is necessary to exchange it. You have any tips for me to find out what might be happening with my battery?
Guys, i am actually trying using a solution provided by the article shared by dominic23,
It says "Another option is to get an ionizer to help the atmosphere in the workplace be more conductive and pull charges away from contact surfaces, including yourself."
So in my home, we have such device that could clean the air using ion, and i am using it in my room...
Result: BANG!!! The electric shock on my macbook has gone!! I don't really care about physics but somehow it works! You guys should give it a try.
Thanks again dominic23 -
Hello, I own a macbook air and I deleted the iPhoto app by mistake, I cant re download it now, do you have any answer for me how to do it?
That's an App Store problem not an iPhoto one. That forum is here
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_app_store/using_mac_apple_store
but perhaps you just need to try again later, as the message says.

When I go to a website and they have a pdf file to download, Firefox will not open it. I have to go Internet Explorer to open the pdf file. Do you have any suggestions because I prefer to use Firefox.
You may have ad / mar-ware changing your settings.
First, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
'''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware Troubleshoot Firefox Issues Caused By Malware]''' {web link}
Bookmark and use this;
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Mozilla Search Reset]''' {web link}
This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and
then resets your search preferences and home page to their
default values, and then uninstalls itself. This affects the
search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.

Today, after having published my website without difficulty for years, I got an error message saying that the file format was unrocognized. Anyone have any suggestions.
You need to give some more info.
How are you publishing your site - iWeb FTP or another application? If the latter, is the encoding set to Unicode (UTF-8)?
Who is giving you this message - the server? -
my iPad is disabled.
i connected it to the iTunes, but the iTunes couldn't access it; because the iPad has a pass code.
i can't enter the pass code in the disabled iPad!
do you have any suggestions?You can unlock it on another computer though the content will be wiped and I think that you need to put it into DFU mode e.g. see post https://discussions.apple.com/message/15385719#15385719 in thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/15385641#15385641 .
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. -
Does anyone have any suggestions for password protecting e-mail on the i pad?
Does anyone have any suggestions for password protecting e-mail on the i pad? Other people sometimes want to use my i pad but I don't want them to have access to my e-mail (which is on AOL)
Presently you can password protect the whole i pad by having to put in a 4 digit code to open it, but once it's open whoever is using it has access to everything you have on it.Skydiver...that did it!! I shut the mail app from automatically opening and now I can sign onto my AOL acct. through Safari!! I had called Apple Care and had asked different peope in Apple stores about this and no one but you had any suggestions! YAY!! Thanks!!!
