How can I use my Samsung 193p as a second monitor?

I am trying to use my Samsung 193P Monitor as my second monitor. It usually has great contrast and good color when attached to my PC. I plugged it into my imac using a DVI to mini DVI adaptor I bought at the apple store. Now it has awful color and the whites are a muddy grey. There do not seem to be any drivers to download. I've called Samsung and Apple and they have no ideas. It is at 1280x1024. Does anyone have any ideas for me? Is there a way to get the monitor communicating with my imac?? Thanks.

Thank you for the suggestions. I tried again. The thing about the Samsung 193P is that it doesn't have any external "buttons" to push for contrast and brightness. You are supposed to use MagicTune to do this, but of course, that is not compatible with mac. Without any adjustments, it usually looks great on a PC. Do you think I could use my Spyder to calibrate it with the mac? Could I only calibrate the 2nd monitor? I don't want to adjust the new mac monitor in any way. Would that be an option?

How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.

How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.

The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
The times when the query is sent are:
• at Startup
• at wake from sleep
• when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
• when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

Can I use My Ibook G4 as a Second Monitor For My Mac Mini G4

Hi
I wonderd if theres any way of being able to use my 14'' Ibook G4 as a second monitor for my Mac Mini G4? I already have a Samsung SyncMaster 913n. Is there any way of doing this by firewire using both monitors, if not what cables would I need?
Thanks

There is a application called Synergy which you may find useful. It allows the keyboard, mouse and clipboard to be shared across computers, and even different operating systems. It's not strictly what you have asked for as each computer still runs it's applications (and operating system) separately, meaning you can not drag windows between the screens, but by allowing you to copy and paste between the computers, and seamlessly slide your mouse and keyboard input between them you may get the effect you desire. Oh, and it is free and open-source, so why not give it a whirl?
You will need to connect the machines with a TCP/IP network, which can be done either with an ethernet patch cable, or alternatively as you suggest, using FireWire - these two articles may assist you in setting that up: IP over FireWire in Panther and Tiger.
As a point of note, a commercial program, MaxiVista allows exactly what you are looking for under Microsoft Windows.
Hope that helps.

Can I use my Pavilion HP7 as a second monitor for my workstation?

I have a HP Pavilion DV7 with Windows 7 ultimate installed. I want ot use the screen as a second monitor for my desktop workstation, which is where my fligh simulator is installed. (The desktop is a Lenovo and the graphic card allows for 2 HDMI screens)
Can I connect my HP laptop to the desktop machine in such a way as the laptop does nothing except provide a screen for the Lenovo? (If you've ever got serious about flight simulator you'll know how much you need two or even three screens!! )

Hi,
No you can't you can use other monitor as second monitor for your laptop BUT you can't use laptop monitor as second monitor for other machine.

How can I use an iPad as a movie camera monitor?

Hi all.
I'm a pro organist and very often I am pinned to the side of a cathedral wall or in a position
where I can't see the conductor. I'd love to find a kit where I can fix up a camera into an iPad
that displays the moving image in real time - as in, no delay. I have to see the conductor's arms
move on screen at exactly the same time as it happens - with no delay or ghosting.
I have an old (8yrs or so) video camera with an AV output which I can plug into an old,
small portable TV screen and that works fine, but it's a lot of kit and caboodle to carry around
and find space for in often small organ lofts! Anyone have any ideas for a simple camera
into iPad set-up in real time? Thanks.

How do I use my lenovo T400 as a second monitor for my tower PC?

I have a docking station with DVI and I connected my tower with the laptop via the DVI cable. How do I go on?

so you have the lenovo t400 on the docking station and connecting the tower to the docking station via dvi?
i think the dvi on the docking station is only dvi out not in which means the laptop screen can not be used as a second screen.
hopefully i got it right

Can i use an cinema display as a second monitor with 27 inch 2011

I am interested in purchasing a 2010 Apple 27 inch Cinema Display monitor. I have a mid 2011 imac 27 inch computer, and am wondering what I will need to connect the Cinema Display to the iMac.
Thanks

If it's a 27", that would the LED Cinema Display and it uses the same Mini-DisplayPort your iMac has, so all you need to do is plug the monitor into the appropriate ports.
Regards.

How can I use ebooks downloaded on my laptop to samsung galaxy S5 smartphone?

I purchased some ebooks from BPP publications which requires Adobe Digital Editions for opening. I created the Adobe ID and downloaded the files. The publisher allows to use the product on three machines. Now I want to use the ebooks downloaded on my laptop on my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone. how can I use it?
Please help

I have the same problem, just a chequered screen for me as well.
I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro & an Apple TV 3 so hardware is ok.
You'd think using an Apple app with the latest kit would'nt throw up any problems.
Any ideas anyone?

How can i use a number as ringtone

i have bought several songs and even cd's in the itunes store, but how can i use any of those songs as a ringtone?
do i have to buy the songs again but then as ringtone?
or how can i use my own music as a ringtone?
never had this problem with other phone from samsung or htc

You can use your own music as a ringtone. There are many sites that have instructions on how to do it. Here's one:
http://osxdaily.com/2010/09/04/make-free-iphone-ringtones-in-itunes-10/
There are also some apps in the App Store that will let you convert songs. You'll still need to use iTunes to sync the ringtones back to your phone.
If you have a Mac computer and Garageband, it's the easiest way to make ringtones on your computer. Just check the help files.

Can I use the samsung galaxy phone as a hot spot for the ipad

can I use the samsung galaxy phone as a hot spot for the ipad

If your Cell carrier supports it, you should have an option in your phone for "Portable Wifi Hotspot" under Wifi and networks.
Look in your Phone's manual for specifics.

Once you set up the Hotspot, the iPad can connect to it like a regular Wifi network.

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

"Method Three
Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

If you are just visiting Singapore, then leave the account as it is. If you have moved there, then view your account using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC and change the country/region to your current location and address. If you do not have a bank card, you can fund your account using iTunes gift cards if available in Singapore.
