how to make whats on my computer show on my t.v.

I'm presuming that you've already made the connection with a suitable cable.  What are you getting on the TV?  Are you getting a completely blank screen?  Are you getting a message similar to 'no input detected'? Or are you getting the spiral galaxy desktop?
If the last of these then what you have is an extended desktop.  If you move the mouse cursor off the edge of the MBP's screen you will see it appear on the TV.  Similarly you can drag windows from the MBP's screen to the TV.  At present the MBP's screen is the primary display and shows the menu bar and dock, and the TV is the secondary display.  To change this go into System Preferences -> Displays -> Arrangement.  You will see an image of two screens, a smaller one representing the MBP's display and a larger one representing the external display.  At the top of the smaller screen in the image is a bar, this represents the menu bar at the top of the screen.  Drag it from the smaller screen to the larger screen.  The external display will become the primary display and the menu bar and dock will appear there and any new windows or applications that you open subsequently will appear there too.
silvergc's suggestion to use mirroring will work, but you won't be using the native resolution of the TV which could result in fuzziness or bluriness of the image on the TV.

  • How to make Dynamically Shortened Text With "Show More"

    Hi there! i want to know how to make dynamically shortened text with show more or read more in my website using HTML 5 pages  or ASP.NET ?
    example like these paragraphs 
    Lorem Ipsum är en utfyllnadstext från tryck- och förlagsindustrin. Lorem ipsum har varit standard ända sedan 1500-talet, när en okänd boksättare tog att antal bokstäver och blandade dem för att göra ett provexemplar av en bok. Lorem ipsum har inte bara överlevt fem århundraden, utan även övergången till elektronisk typografi utan större förändringar. Det blev allmänt känt på 1960-talet i samband med lanseringen av Letraset-ark med avsnitt av Lorem Ipsum, och senare med mjukvaror som Aldus PageMaker.
    Det är ett välkänt faktum att läsare distraheras av läsbar text på en sida när man skall studera layouten. Poängen med Lorem Ipsum är att det ger ett normalt ordflöde, till skillnad från "Text här, Text här", och ger intryck av att vara läsbar text. Många publiseringprogram och webbutvecklare använder Lorem Ipsum som test-text, och en sökning efter "Lorem Ipsum" avslöjar många webbsidor under uteckling. Olika versioner har dykt upp under åren, ibland av olyckshändelse, ibland med flit (mer eller mindre humoristiska).
    I motsättning till vad många tror, är inte Lorem Ipsum slumvisa ord. Det har sina rötter i ett stycke klassiskt litteratur på latin från 45 år före år 0, och är alltså över 2000 år gammalt. Richard McClintock, en professor i latin på Hampden-Sydney College i Virginia, översatte ett av de mer ovanliga orden, consectetur, från ett stycke Lorem Ipsum och fann dess ursprung genom att studera användningen av dessa ord i klassisk litteratur. Lorem Ipsum kommer från styckena 1.10.32 och 1.10.33 av "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (Ytterligheterna av ont och gott) av Cicero, skriven 45 före år 0. Boken är en avhandling i teorier om etik, och var väldigt populär under renäsanssen. Den inledande meningen i Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem Ipsum dolor sit amet...", kommer från stycke 1.10.32.
    Den ursprungliga Lorem Ipsum-texten från 1500-talet är återgiven nedan för de intresserade. Styckena 1.10.32 och 1.10.33 från "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" av Cicero hittar du också i deras originala form, åtföljda av de engelska översättningarna av H. Rackham från 1914.

    Moved to the main Dreamweaver support forum.
    There are several ways you could approach this. Here's one you might try:
    Give the first paragraph an ID, such as "first", and wrap the paragraphs you want to hide in a <div> with another ID, such as "more". Then add the following block of JavaScript just before the closing </body> tag of the page:
    <script>
    var first = document.getElementById('first'),
         more = document.getElementById('more'),
         trigger = document.createElement('span');
    trigger.id = 'trigger';
    trigger.innerHTML = 'Show less';
    first.appendChild(trigger);
    function toggleDiv() {
      var state = more.className,
           text = trigger.innerHTML;
      more.className = (state == 'open') ? 'closed' : 'open';
      trigger.innerHTML = (text == 'Show more') ? 'Show less' : 'Show more';
    toggleDiv();
    if (trigger.addEventListener) {
        trigger.addEventListener('click', toggleDiv, false);
    } else if (trigger.attachEvent) {
      trigger.attachEvent('onclick', toggleDiv);
    } else {
      trigger.onclick = toggleDiv;
    </script>
    This gets references to the "first" paragraph and the "more" <div>. It also creates a <span> with the ID "trigger" that's appended to the "first" paragraph. The rest of the script defines a function called toggleDiv(), which toggles the "more" <div> open and closed, and changes the text in the "trigger" <span>.
    You also need to create the following style rules for the various elements:
    <style>
    #trigger {
        text-decoration: underline;
        color: blue;
        cursor: pointer;
    #more {
        transition: ease-out .7s;
        overflow: hidden;
    #more p:first-child {
        margin-top: 0;
    #more.closed {
        height: 0;
        -webkit-transform: translateY(-600px);
        transform: translateY(-600px);
    #more.open {
        -webkit-transform: translateY(0);
        transform: translateY(0);
        max-height: 600px;
    #more + p {
        margin-top: 0;
    </style>
    This solution hides the text and creates the "trigger" <span> only if JavaScript is enabled in the browser. It should work in all browsers, including Internet Explorer 8 and earlier.

  • How to make a checkbox hide and show div between two different pages

    Hi
    I am developing a mobile site application.
    Currently I need to make a checkbox effect.
    Here is how I want the checkbox to work for me..
    I want users to click on the checkbox, for an option on the editor as well as its content on the live mobile to hide.
    These are two different files which contains the user interface.(the live mobile file and the editor file)
    Now how can I make it possible to make both options hide or show at the same time after a user clicks on the
    checkbox to show or hide.
    Is it possible for a checkbox created on a different file affects an external file to hide a div within that file?
    If so kindly advice me on this.
    Thanks in advance

    There are several tutorials out there for dissolving a layer, turning text to sand, and similar things. Use any/all of those and then time remap that composition to make the particles form into your word.

  • How to indentify an unknown shared computer showing in finder?

    For quite some time I've been seeing a computer show up under shared in finder.  It appears as macbook-2cd86c.  When I click on it is states that I'm connected as a "guest".  I can identify my husband's MacBook.  If it helps to know, we both connect to the internet wirelessly and use AT&T UVerse.  I thought that maybe it be the name of the router, but we've changed it a few times and the name of the unknown macbook has remained the same.  We also both have iphones that sync to our respective computers.  Our network is WPA protected.  How can I indentify this unknown computer?

    how do I find out the the number of the MAC address on my husband's Mac?
    Applications -> Utilities -> System Profiler
    On the left side select "Network"
    On the top Right side select "Airport"
    In the bottom Right look for "MAC Address"
    Unless your Husband is using "Built-in Ethernet", then select that entry in the Top Right panel.

  • How to make a Java app compute an MD5sum of itself

    I am trying to write an open-source online Java game which will feature, among other things, an online economy system. The problem with this is security: I need a way to verify that the client app accessing the server has not been modified in any way. The client will be available as both an applet and as a standard Java application, making this somewhat more difficult.
    My current plan is this: when the client connects to my server, it will download a heavily-obfuscated JAR file (the security module of the program does not need to be open-source), and that JAR file will tell the client to compute an MD5sum of itself, as well as gathering a bunch of other data and heavily encrypting it, and it will send this data back to the server. Unfortunately, I do not know how to accomplish either the loading of the classes in the downloaded JAR or the making the program take an MD5sum of itself. I cannot have the program take an MD5sum of the JAR file on disk, because its name may have been changed, and it would not work for the applet version. Somehow I would have to compute a checksum of the code stored in memory, and send that. Is this even possible? Or is there a better, less convoluted way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

    You need to read the [Signed JAR file specification|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jar/jar.html#Signed%20JAR%20File]. The .class files are digested. The digests are listed in a supplement to the manifest. The manifest is signed with a certificate. All that has to be reproducible at the recipient otherwise the JAR is corrupt. It can only be reproduced if the bytecodes agree with the digests and the signature of the digests agrees with the signature in the manifest, in other words essentially if the JAR is signed. And if it is signed by your certificate, it is your JAR file. Otherwise it is either corrupt or somebody else's JAR file. And only you can sign with your certificate because it is done with your private key, which is, well, private.Now it makes sense, thanks. But there's still one piece missing: how do you tell the server that you're running the signed version of the app? And how does the server know that the client is telling the truth?

  • How to Make installer for one Computer ?

    Hello All,
    I want to make application installer only for one computer, like single license copy how it is possible in LabWindows/CVI ?
    Is there any LabWindows build-in option or how it will possible ?
    Regards
    Umer
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I don't think there is a bult-in capability to create an installer that will run on a single PC, but you can incorporate in your application instructions on some hardware item of the target system and create your own licensing algorithm on them.
    This subject has already been discussed in this forum: you can look at this thread and this other one.
    In the last page, I mention a sample of mine which is available on the Community: I have updated it to retrieve the disk serial number also, as it can be useful to get a unique sign for a specific PC; the sample uses WMI to get system infos: you can find the modified version attached to this message. You need full CVI version to run the sample.
    Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

  • How to make backwards navigation through slide shows possible?

    Hi, I just made my first Encore DVD slide show and spent hours trying to figure out how to do this without a luck. The DVD is one Main Menu with buttons to different slide shows that are all set to manual advance. The end action of each slide show takes to the first image in the next slide show and that was easy and very obvious to achieve in Encore but I didn't find any way to achieve the same for backwards navigation. Does anybody know how to do that.
    Will appreciate any help

    In case my message wasn't clear, I will try to describe better what I want to achieve.
    Currently the viewer starts from a Main menu with 16 buttons linked to 16 slide shows. Starting from the first or any slide show and pressing the next button after an image is displayed, the viewer can see linearly all images in all slide show from that point to the end without ever going to the main menu.
    However if the viewer at any point start pressing the previous button on the remote control, he/she can only go to the start of the current slide show and the only way to get to a previous slide show is to use the Main menu button and then jump from there.
    Is it possible to make a DVD thata will allow the view to go backwards through different slide shows by pressing the previous button??

  • How to make a User Account not show in the Login window

    I have set up a few accounts on my Powerbook for the sake of office colleagues who need to access some of my shares. They are not really users of my machine, though, so I was thinking what a pity that they have to be there in an endless list of 'phony' users in the Login window, making it necessary for me to scroll down to find my Account.
    So, is there a way, using NetInfo db or some other magic, to designate a few users as invisible to the Login window?
    As always, many thanks.

  • How to make Outlook 2013 calendar only show specific hours and hide the others that are grayed out

    I’d like to show 7am to 10pm thus allowing the rest of the day to be less cramped vertically on my screen.  I don't want to see all the grayed out hours which are
    outside of business hours.  How can I do this?

    Right click on the time scale and choose the next smaller scale. It may not help much since 7 -10 is a fairly long period, although with 30 min and the ribbon minimized, i see 7a - 11p on a 24" monitor. You may need to set 7 as the start of your business
    day. If you have it set later in options, outlook will start the day at the later time.

  • How to make manually downloaded Xcode app show up in app store purchase page?

    Is there a way to make mac app store show updates for Xcode app that is downloaded from developer.apple.com without having to download it again from app store itself?
    thanks

    If you do as wjosten has advised you, you will have made your chosen app the default for all files with the same filename extension as the file you selected. If you want to do the same for files with different extensions, repeat the same procedure with one file that has each of those extensions.
    You can't make one app the default for every video file format in a single operation, because there are so many different video formats, and few if any apps that can play all of them. VLC Player comes close.
