2 external displays? is it possible and how?

any info would be nice
i have a 15" MBP late 2008
just want to hook 2 external monitors up to it ... im about to go buy them soon.

Thanks for that. My fault for being to lazy to check for myself. Sorry, demolasko!
Another option to investigate would be DIsplayLink technology - they make USB-to-DVI chips used in a number of 3rd party adapters (Videk, Gefen, etc.), and support multiple displays at up to 1680X1050 (or 1600x1200) with Mac OS X drivers available. Likely ok for 'basic' use (e.g. word processing, internet browsing), no 3D support, though.

    If your OS is fully up-to-date, that is close to impossible. The Flashback site has not been known to be active since long before August.
    Did you migrate any users from an older system, perhaps? It might have been transferred if that is the case.
    ISP's are famous for mis-diagnosing these things with regard to Macs, so you might want to challenge them to provide you with their logs and specifics about what they are seeing.
    Is it possible that another device is on your network that could be causing this, either something you own or a neighbor using your network?

  • Have received a outstanding picture of the Iwo Jima Memorial in an e-mail. I want to use it as my backdrop on iPad 2. Anyone know if it is possible and how?

    Have received a outstanding picture of the Iwo Jima Memorial in an e-mail. I want to use it as my backdrop on iPad 2. Anyone know if it is possible and how?

    Save the photo from the received email - select and hold on the photo until prompted to save the photo.
    The following was copied from the iPad user guide.
    Wallpaper and Lock Screen Photos
    You can display a photo in the wallpaper background of the Lock screen and Home screen. You can choose from several wallpaper pictures included with iPad, or you can use a photo of your own.
    Set a photo as screen wallpaper:
    Choose any photo and tap          , then tap Use As Wallpaper.
    Drag to pan the photo, or pinch the photo to zoom in or out, until it looks the way you want. Keep in mind that the image will be displayed in both portrait and landscape orientations but won’t rotate.
    Tap Set Wallpaper. Then tap to use the image as wallpaper for the Home screen, on the Lock screen, or both.
    To choose from several wallpaper pictures included with iPad, go to Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper.

  • My mother contacts disappear when she sends a message or call someone, how is this possible and how to fix it?

    Technically the limit of 4Gb per folder should have been removed in a recent patch. Personally I an unconvinced as the developers have said so twice before and something else arose to bite people at 4Gb. So the limit probably does not exist anymore and moving mail and compacting will fix it without data loss if it occurs as recent issues have been about displaying mail after the 4Gb point, not storing it.
    Use the Ctrl and Shift keys in conjunction with your mouse to make multiple selections.
    click followed by Shift+ Click selects everything between the two clicks, including the items clicked.
    Holding the Ctrl key while clicking allows you to select or deselect mail to either fine turn the list from shift clicking or to make one of your own.
    Ctrl +A selects everything in the list from the current selection to the end.
    One option is create an important folder and move your important stuff to it then ctrl +A the whole remaining inbox.

  • I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?

    I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?

    I think there are third-party programs which will do that, but you can also do it with Automator:
    See the links in my post, here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22390873#22390873
    The file or clipboard contents will be in Tab Separated vars, so you'll have to open with a spreadsheet program and save as Comma Separated Vars format.

  • Can Time Capsule be used as a time machine on a Windows Server.  Is this possible, and how do i configure this?

    I like to use the new TC in my office as a time machine on a Windows Server.  Is this possible, and how do i configure this?
    In fact my plan is to make the first back up by connecting to the server via an ethernet cable, but thereafter i like to bring the TC to my home and perform the incremental backups over the internet.  This is for safety reasons, in case for example the office is broken into, or flooded, or fire (god forbid).
    I sincerely hope it is possible, and not complicated.
    Alternatively i would not mind replacing our current Windows server 2003 with an Apple server, but all computers in the network (except mine) are Windows 7 or 8. Would it work?
    Thanks in advance.

    I will consider the WD My Cloud device.
    It is a NAS.. it is designed to provide a cheap centralised file storage.
    What is NAS?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network-attached_storage
    A file server like windows uses heaps of power to do very little.. in your setup.. In most setups like SBS it will do exchange server and provide a heap of useful connectivity to your clients.
    Since you are not using the windows server in anything but simple file serving you can replace with a NAS..
    Problem with the TC is, it is a router with a hard disk inside.. designed specifically for Time Machine.. it fails to provide what a NAS does.. easy access to any clients, local or remote.. TC is designed by apple for apple and the rest of world is not really invited to the party.
    It provides no backup.. no data protection.. and is so specifically apple orientated I do not think it works at all well with windows.
    For a simple example.. windows will have file issues with large files.. because it is only NTserver FAT32 to windows.. bad luck if you have large files.. !!
    Plainly if you use active directory in windows that facility is gone.
    I just like Apple products, find them more stable than Windows and easier to use.  Plus i can access the server from home if it is an Apple Server.
    If you only need remote access for yourself that is fine.. too bad for the windows clients I guess.
    Or you open it up to the world and bad luck for security.
    Apple do not design for mixed environment.. in fact with the TC there is no provision for windows access officially at all.. so anything you do is a fudge.
    You can use the TC for your Mac backups within the network.. that is fine. Apple provide no software at all to help with your windows clients.

  • Using Time Machine, is it possible to back up a computer AFTER a specific date. I only want to back up files from AFTER January 2015. Is this possible, and how can I do this?

    Is what you're saying that you only want backups in TM of the state of your Mac from January 2015 to the current date and nothing before then? I'd think the simplest solution would just be to delete in TM all the backups prior to 1/15 and then let TM do its thing. The ultimate source for all things Time Machine is here. On this page, note the comment that "Time Machine will never delete the backup copy of anything that was on the disk being backed-up at the time of any remaining backup" which I understand to mean that if you delete all the backups in the TM file prior to 1/15, any file that wasn't present on your Mac as of 1/15 will no longer be represented in the TM file. Note that the second link also has instructions for how to delete TM files.
    If you were trying to accomplish something else, then as Emily Litella (Gilda Radner in SNL) used to say, "never mind."

  • I have a 4 gen Time Caps. and a 2nd Gen Airport Extreme I would like to extend my TC network to use the Extreme for the purpose of having internet available to my TV box wired.  Is this possible and how to I get them to work together?

    How can I get my Time Cap (TC 4 gen) to recognise my 2gen Airport Extreem (AE)
    Frank

    Thanks for the info, this really helps.
    Power up the AirPort Extreme for a few minutes, then hold in the reset button on the back of the Extreme for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    It might be possible to use wireless to configure the Extreme, but I recommend using a wired connection. Temporarily, connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Extreme.
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click on  AirPort Extreme.
    The illustration below shows an AirPort Express. You will see AirPort Extreme on your screen.
    AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Extreme will be configured to extend the Time Capsule network.
    Enter a device name that you want to use for the Extreme and click Next
    Wait a minute while AirPort Setup configures things for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
    You can disconnect the Ethernet cable that you used for the set up now. Things should be working. The Extreme is providing additional wireless coverage the the Ethernet ports are enabled. You can connect to any port that you want since they all operate the same in this type of setup.

  • HT1825 Can I connect post cinema displays to my G4 and how?

    Can I connect post cinema displays to my G4 and how?

    You can use newer monitors but there are different ways to connect.
    It all depends on the video card installed in your computer. Different model cards had different ports. My G4 MDD has the ATI Radeon 9000 with one ADC port (abandoned technology) and one DVI port (useful technology). So we need to either see the description of your graphics card from System Profiler >Graphics/displays, a photo of the ports on your card, or both.
    As long as you find a monitor that shares the kind of ports on your Mac, you will be fine. I have a 2008-vintage LCD monitor on that circa 2003 MDD of mine. The MDD shipped with an Apple DVI-to-VGA adaptor so I can connect any monitor with DVI or VGA ports.
    There is an inconsistency in your equipment profile: No PowerMac can run OS 10.6. Please do "About this Mac" and verify your processor type and Mac OS version. Then you can edit your profile to avoid future confusion.

  • Value-based hierarchy on ROLAP dimension. Is this possible and how?

    Value-based hierarchy on ROLAP dimension. Is this possible and how?
    If yes, what tool I have to use. Any simple examples?

    Based on my experience of OWB10gR2 the option to create a "Value Based" hierarchy is only enabled if you create an AW based OLAP model. If you want to create a ROLAP model then I do not think this is possible.
    Question is why create a ROLAP model when you could get better performance and more powerful analytical features by using a multidimensional model within an analytic workspace.

  • Is it possible and how to find out what host, if any, is connected to a remote PXI prior to switching execution target programmatically or in devlopment environment?

    Is it possible and how to find out what host, if any, is connected to a remote PXI prior to switching execution target programmatically or in devlopment environment?

    This functionality is not available in LabVIEW RT. If you attempt to switch execution target to an RT controller already targetted by someone else, it will tell you too many hosts are connected and fail. Of course if it allows you to switch, then no one was connected. By attempting to switch execution target you can use the message above to determine if anyone is targetted or not, but if someone is, there is no way to determine who.
    If you are concerned about this sort of thing, you might check the RT target options in LabVIEW RT to change the IP access list for hosts that are allowed to switch execution target to it.

  • How do I set MacBook to an external display when the plug and play doesn't recognize it?  I am trying to set my Samsung 530 LCD as a monitor but HDMI and VGA cords (and the adaptor for them) doesn't seem to work.

    I have tried everything I can find on line but they all claim that the plug and play works, and they don't for me.  I tried the mini dvi to HDMI and a HDMI cord and that was not recognized no matter which unit I rebooted first.  I found someone who said that my Macbook might be too old for the HDMI technology so I returned the cords and went to the VGA cord and adaptor.
    I tried this first with the HDMI setup:

    I contacted Samsung support and they said I needed to set the display settings to external display on the mac.  I went to the display settings and moved the icon to my status bar.  When I click on search for displays or whatever it says (I'm not at my Mac right now) it does nothing.
    What am I missing?

    I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system.  The TV says "No signal.  Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection."  Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display.  But how do I do that?
