X230 - Which monitor do I have?

I just received and unpacked the X230.  Is there any way to tell for certain if I was shipped the Premium IPS monitor that I ordered or if I was wrongly shipped the standard monitor?

Tilt the display up and down, then side to side.  If it appears to darken significantly when you view from extreme angles, then it's not the IPS display.  If the view stays mostly unchanged, it is the IPS display.
Also check device manager.  The monitor should say "wide vewing angle".

  • I have two monitors and want to be able to direct which apps open on which monitor; how do I do that?

    I just bought an iMac to replace my MacBook Pro, and now have my Cinema Display hooked into my iMac, giving me two monitors.  I have them set up the way I want them, with one being  the primary, the other secondary, and the placement is the way I want, but I'd like to be able to have my internet browser always open in my secondary display, while my calendar and email open on my primary monitor.  Is there a way to instruct either the apps, or the hardware to make this happen?'
    Thanks for any help you can offer.
    Peter

    I believe that if you drag an app window to the second monitor and quit it, the comptuer should rememebr its position there. I've done this on older Macs, putting palettes on the secondary and, when I relaunch the app, they stay on the secondary. The newest OS version for which I know this works was under 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro.
    Please tell us what Mac OSX version you have--it could make a difference.

  • How to choose which monitor displays "full screen preview"

    I have a dual monitor setup and have Bridge configurated so that on the left monitor I have the panes "maps", "filter", "keywords" and "content" and on the right monitor (which is a better and callibrated monitor) I have the pane "preview".
    Now if I select one or more tumbnails in the "content" pane on the left monitor, they show up in the "preview" pane on the right monitor.
    Until recent, when I selected a single tumbnail in the "content" pane (left monitor) it showed up in the "preview" pane (right monitor) and upon hitting the space bar it was shown full screen on the same right monitor and upon left-click on the full screen immage, I got a 100% preview, again still on the right monitor.
    Now the problem is that suddenly, upon hitting the space bar, the full screen preview is no longer shown on the right monitor but is shown on the left monitor. (Same problem for the 100% preview).
    I hope I made clear of myself and that anyone knows how I can change this back again?

    The window was indeed expanded to both monitors and the monitors were aranged correctly but upon your sugestion I temporarely switched everything back to default "one monitor setup" and then back to "two monitor with extended window". I also did a reset of my workspace as sugested.
    The result is that everything is back and working as it shood. Problem is solved.
    Thank you very much.

  • Multiple monitors - how to define which monitor files open on

    Mac OS 10.8.X
    PS CS6
    I work on a Mac with three monitors. My primary monitor is in the middle. I often will drag images to one of the side monitors where they'll stay open while I'm working on other images. But photoshop will open the next image I choose on the side monitors where I've got images open.
    I want all new images to open on my primary monitor, always. Is there a way to define which monitor images will open on?

    Photoshop will open an image on the last monitor an image was on. If I open an image and drag it to one of my side monitors, then open a new image, it will open on the same monitor where the other image is sitting. If I open an image and move it to a side monitor, then close it on that monitor, the next image will open on that monitor.
    So I think your answer is not correct. PS always opens the image on the last monitor where an image resided.
    Repro:
    Have two monitors, A and B.
    Open an image. It will open on A. Drag the image to monitor B.
    Open a second image by double clicking an image in a finder window. It will now open on B.
    Close images on Monitor B
    double click a new image to open it. It will open on B.
    Now take that image and drag it back to A. Close it.
    Double click and image to open a new image in PS. It will now open on A.
    Result:
    Photoshop remembers the last monitor where an image was open, and will open subsequent images on that monitor, even if that monitor is no longer present. For example, if you open an image on your main monitor, then drag it to a projector window, then close the window. then turn off the projector. All new images you open will be on the projector, even if it's turned off. The only way to use PS again is to turn the projector back on, drag the images back to the monitor you want to use, then close them from there.
    NB: To test your theory, I opened an image in Preview on monitor A, then dragged it to monitor B. Opened next image, and it opens on A. PS behaves differently than the system. This has always been the behavior of PS, from many version back, so this isn't specific to PS6, but it would be nice to be able to change or affect that behavior.

  • Activity monitor says I have 1 -3% of System Memory free, yet CPU usage shows less than 10% total of all processes

    Activity monitor says I have 1 -3% of System Memory free, yet CPU usage shows less than 10% total of all processes

    I think you should review what you wrote. There is no question, hence, my reply. I can't tell by the AM listing what applications are using memory. You need to click on the Real Mem column once or twice to display in descending order.
    Aside from what you see in AM, what exactly is your problem or perceived problem. You are very low on Free Mem at the moment the screen shot was taken. Those displays are not depicting your computer's instantaneous memory usage.
    About OS X Memory Management and Usage

    Memory Usage Performance Guidelines- About the Virtual Memory System
    Understanding top output in the Terminal
    The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
    Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently.  It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster.  What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent.  It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

  • Select which monitor to display on

    How do I select which monitor to display on.
    Click on video from MSN.com...Flash "delivers" video to the
    other monitor (dual monitor system).
    I do not want this...I want to show video only on the source
    monitor.
    I downloaded and installed the latest Flash software...until
    I did this, Flash displayed as expected.

    Are you referring to pop up windows that have flash content
    displayed
    inside of them? If so, sometimes you can't "force" it to
    display on a
    particular monitor. Using javascript the website can dictate
    what the
    (x,y) coordinates are for the window to open at which MAY be
    the problem.
    Please elaborate where you are experiencing this problem, in
    the Flash
    IDE or in your browser.

  • Which Monitoring Tool is best to monitor LAN and WAN

    Hi,
    CAN ANYONE TELL ME Which Monitoring Tool is best to monitor LAN and WAN.
    Waiting for immediate response.
    Thanks
    Irshad

    To start with HP open, this is SNMP-based as well. As it is around for quite a while and delivers support for many vendors, it has become sort of an industry standard. Many other vendors deliver add-ons (even CiscoWorks) to support their products via HP open. That functionality however comes with a price. If you have plenty of money an a large network to manage, HP open might be your best choice.
    Cisco Works and other -start-with-C- products are typically used to manage Cisco devices. If you have a fair share of non-cisco boxes around you will find that you cannot see or do everything with them that you might want.
    One special thing about CiscoWorks is that it lacks a grapical real-time overview of the network. In my opinion this is a weakness in the product. On the other hand, it has many nice features to manage all kinds of Cisco devices.
    My ideal solution is to use both a generic SNMP manager, SNMPc in my case, and CiscoWorks 2000. With SNMPc I can quickly see network node status and do some bandwidth management (baselining). CW2k serves mainly to execute changes (NetConfig) and as a syslogger. It is also used to perform IOS upgrades and to store config files.
    I guess this could be done with HP open as well, but our money does not reach far enough to pay for both. SNMPc costs a lot less, both in purchase and in maintenance.
    Hope this clarifies things a bit.

    Leo

  • Which monitors are compatible?

    Hi,
    I have a much loved iMac G3, indigo, 400mhz, slotloader that is suffering unfixable CRT problems...horizontal static lines that jumble 99.9% of the display screen.
    To fix it would cost a small fortune. I have a PowerBook G4 that I love, BUT I love working with Photoshop, and the colors are not true on the PowerBook. Just a bare tilt of the screen changes the look of everything so I have no way of checking my work.
    I don't want to have to buy a whole new computer. The broken one is only 6 years old...started dying at 3yrs 1mo old...a month after the extended AppleCare expired.
    I've been looking all over trying to find out which of the budget priced monitors will be compatible with my iMac so I can use it again. I can't seem to find a list of compatible monitors anywhere. Would anyone here know which monitors will work when I connect it to my disabled iMac?
    Thank you.

  • I want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized?

    i want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized? also how can i update the software?

    This is a tedious solution, which is stupid!  And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization.  I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
    And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

  • I have had to create a new iTunes account. However, there are updates that were not performed while under the old account. So now when I try to update apps, it's asking for the login of the old account, which I do not have.

    I have had to open a new account, however, there were App updates that did not get installed before I opened the new account. Therefore, when I try to do the updates, it's is asking for the sign-in and password for the old account, which I do not have this information. 

    All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.
    Delete these apps and download them with the new Apple ID.

    Could be a bad cable or bad Thunderbolt port.

  • I got a new sim and to activate it I need to reactivate my phone. When inputting my Apple ID and password, it's saying they're incorrect and are looking for the original details the phone was set up on which I don't have.

    Got a new sim for my new contract, so need to reactivate my phone. To reactivate I've to put in my Apple ID which I have but it's saying it's not accepting it and is asking for old ID which phone was set up on which I do not have. I can't do anything with my phone as it's locked on the enter iD screen! I have already reset and verified my password but still not accepting it! Help

    If the ID is yours but you don't know the password, you'll have to reset it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787).  If the ID belongs to a previous ownder of the phone, you'll have to either get the ID and password from them, or have them erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.

  • I have a iPad were I have opened I tunes match ect linked to my pc I have since found my old ipod classic which I have loads of music on but that was all linked to a mac which I don't have anymore, is there anyway I can sync them both

    I have a iPad were I have opened I tunes match ect linked to my pc I have since found my old ipod classic which I have loads of music on but that was all linked to a mac which I don't have anymore, is there anyway I can sync them both without loosing my music, if I plug my ipod into PC it won't read it

    You need to transfer the music from your iPod on to your iTunes library on your PC, since that is where you are currently syncing and where you are signed into iTunes Match.  It doesn't matter that you were previously syncing it with a Mac, and you won't need to reinstall iTunes on your PC.  But you will have to use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer any music not purchased from the iTunes store from your iPod to your iTunes library.  Here's another guide on this, which is shoter and you may find easier to follow: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive.  Also, if you're using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar.  This will make it easier to follow along with these guides.
