Both Monitor and TV use with 1 adapter?

I have a 13" MacBook. I also have a nice 19" Samsung flat screen monitor lying around here. Since my laptop sees most of its duty on a table during the summer (no school), I'm thinking of getting the monitor and a keyboard and hooking it up, even though it's enormous.
Now, I know all I need is a Mini-DVI to VGA connector (apple sells it for $19).
But the thing is, I'd like to also be able to connect my laptop to a TV (meaning I need the mini-DVI to Video connector, $19 again).
I could buy both, but I don't want to spend $40 on just connectors. What's my best option? Is there any other way?

Some TVs have VGA connectors on them, but I'm guessing yours does not. In that case, I think you are stuck buying two adapters.

I am a language intructor, can I use Adobe Presenter to work properly on both, English, and Spanish presentations with the same software?

I am a language intructor, can I use Adobe Presenter to work properly on both, English, and Spanish presentations with the same software?

It shouldn't be an issue. Ultimately, Presenter doesn't care what language the content or audio is in, it will deliver it just the same. The only issue I could see causing problems would be the player skin. It has Spanish lables, but they only show on a computer with the OS set to Spanish. If you want the student to view both and English and a Spanish version on the same computer, you may need to have two versions of the language.xml file where you have one that has the desired English lables in the "en" section and one where it has the desired Spanish labels in the "en" section. You would then swap these files in and out of the folder located at,C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\Adobe\Adobe Presenter\Themes , as you need to publish an English or Spanish presentation.

Press any key on the wireless keyboard after you close the MBP and it goes to sleep. The computer will wake up with the external monitor as its display. This is called Clamshell mode.

Monitor Recommendations for Use with Captivate

Anyone have any monitor recommendations for use with Captivate? Size and resolution?

The formal adobe recommendation is as posted 1024x768 is fine.
But, monitors are not that expensive, so for productivity and better work environment I recommend at least one wide screen 22" with resolution 1600X1200 or more and that supports 1080 for video.
You need the wide screen ( or two monitors) so you can work with all the tools in one view.

IMAC 24" screen went dead. Can I buy a mac compatible monitor and still use the IMAC hard drive?

IMAC 24" screen went dead. Can I buy a mac compatible monitor and still use the IMAC hard drive - which is still working? I took it to the Apple store and they quoted $500+to replace the monitor. No help as usual. Can I buy a MAC compatible monitor ($189) and use it as a primary monitor? Can I set it up if the screen on the IMAC is dead? Any other solutions?

The only negative to not having the original drive will be the work needed to reinstall all the apps and reconfigure to your liking. You will also have to decide whether to stay on Lion (which you should update to 10.7.4, BTW) or bite the bullet and take a leap of faith on Mountain Lion.
In either case, to simplify matters you would do well to concoct a Lion or ML bootable installer on a USB stick. In either case, you need to get the corresponding installer downloaded onto the hard drive and, instead of running it to execute the install, extract the coveted InstallESD.dmg image from which you construct the bootable installer. See here for details: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17782820#17782820 The procedure applies the same to both of the latest cat flavors.

Can I use my monitor and external speakers with apple tv

I have an extra computer monitor (DVI input) and external speakers (3.5mm male audio jack.) Is there some combination of adapters that I can use to hook up an apple tv to them in order to stream from netflix, and my itunes library?

no but you can get tons of solutions where you connect something to your tv's minijack headset connector and then it wireless transfer the audio signal to a headset
there are both bluetooth solutions belkin have one I use and there are also solutions where the headset is included and they use their own custom protocol
but mind you there is no way to keep such setups in sync in terms of video and audio so if the system is poor in quality or pre-process the audio signal too much it cause audio and visuals to get out of sync

D800 file compatibility: Has anyone experienced problems with loading D800 files onto the iPad using the camer connector kit? I have tried both RAW and JPEG using SDHC and CF cards and the iPad(3) doesnt recognise any of the files.

Has anyone experienced problems with downloading Nikon D800 files to the iPad3 using the camer connector kit? I have tried .RAW and JPEG (of various sizes) on both SD and CF cards, but the iPad doesn't recognise the files.
I have seen various forums discussing Lightroom and PSE updates that are required to process .NEF files but I can't find anything on the iPad/camera connector issue.
I dont have any problem if I put the SD card straight into the SD slot in my iMac and Aperture will process the files fine, but I would really like to be able to download and view files on the move on the iPad.
Any advice appreciated?
PS - saw something that suggested the iPad had a maximum file size of 16mb for photos, not sure if this is correct, but I have tried smaller JPEG files and they still aren't recognised.

If your camera supports both PTP and Mass Storage Device modes, it may be necessary to use both modes to import all media content.
If some files do not import as expected using one mode, try switching to the other mode and importing again.
Note: Some cameras may refer to PTP as Pictbridge or PTP/Pictbridge.

Possible to use CCM 2.0 with both CRM and SRM using OCI?

Hi,
I am preparing a solution with SRM, CRM and CCM where CCM should be the central product catalog,
internal ordering should be done using SRM and external ordering (reselling and billing) using CRM.
However, the content is the same, so I either need to provide it once in CCM and create different
views and OCI-connections from SRM and CRM or I need a way to extract a catalog from CCM and import
it into CRM.
In posting 83841
Is SRM Mandatory with CCM?
I learned that CCM 3.0 will support CRM processes.
However, I could not find any hint when CCM 3.0 will be available.
I assume CCM 2.0 support OCI as well, so in principle it should be possible to use one CCM view in CRM and another CCM view in SRM.
Is this assumption correct?
Regards, Andreas

Hi Andreas,
yes, via OCI one catalog can be integrated into different applications.
Regarding the release: CCM 2.0 is the last release of the SAP Catalog.
There will be no CCM in the future.
In the new version of MDM the catalog function is integrated and it is
mandatory to be used in new implementations as well with SRM 6.0.
There are some tricky things in CCM and it is hard to get support, as
the main focus is MDM.
When you have a chance to plan the landscape, consider MDM from
long term perspective.
Thanks,
Claudia

What type of monitors can I use with the Mac Mini?

Hello,
I was thinking on purchasing a Mac Mini. I was not sure if the monitor I have at work with function with the Mac Mini. It is a: 20" ViewSonic Professional Series P815...
Does anyone know if this monitor will work with any Mac Mini? Is there an adapter for it?
Thanks.

It would be fine for them all - all minis have come with DVI video connectors and adapters to convert that to VGA, so aside from the possibility that the Viewsonic might suffer the greyish or dull screen problem that affected a small(ish) proportion of displays with the first generation mini, it should connect up using the adapter just fine, and be correctly recognized by the system.

HD monitor suggestion for use with Mac Mini.

Hello Group,
Can anyone suggest the best (or good, compatible) HD monitor to use with my new mac mini just purchased (late 2009 model). Can't afford the apple cinema's so I'm looking for a cheaper option to still have HD using HDMI inputs, looking to spend around $200-$300..also do I need to purchase an adapter of some kind?. Thanks so much for any suggestions!

Although I have no specifics, from various articles I have read
about the condition, a few things stand out.
What seems the most prevelant and makes a lot of sense is
to use a monitor that has a matte finish screen. Glossy screens
regardless how you tweek lighting and viewing positions will always
have some amount background reflection. It can be so low as to
not be conciously perceptible, but the eye is still detecting it and
is trying to correct for it and what is viewed on the screen.
On the subject of lighting, with the wider spread use of CFL
lights could be adding more people to the list with this problem.
The "cycle times" of these can conflict with display refresh times
causing the susceptable persons eyes to get confused. The old
incandescent bulbs had much less of this effect.
Screen refresh rate can also be an issue. With the iMacs and
the Thunderbolt displays as well, these are fixed and cannot be
tweeked, atleast not without third party intervention. With a
Mini and some other third party monitor, adjusting refresh rates
can help.
Environment in general is a major contributor as well.
So, resolving the issue may not be as simple as just getting
a different monitor, although matte screens seem to be a
major help.

How many screen monitors can I use with late 2009 Mac Mini?

hey guys. I have a Mac mini from late 2009 that is connected with 2 screen monitors, and I was wondering if I can add another one through one of the usb ports? If so, can I use a usb to vga adapter to plug it in? thanks for any answers!

You can add multiple USB monitors or USB video adapters, but realize that USB video is usually quite a bit slower than "normal" video cards. So don't display Youtube or other moving video on the USB device. Me personally, I have a Mimo 7" USB monitor and I have my calendar displayed on that.
You can also get the Matrox DualHead2Go or TripleHead2Go to add more monitors to a single video port. It has much better performance than a USB video adapter, but of course costs quite a bit more.

VGA monitor and TV switchbox with Mini

I have recently purchased the EyeTV for DTT box for my Mac Mini. I currently use a Dell VGA monitor for my work but would like to watch TV broadcasts from the EyeTV through my TV. However, I don't want to keep unplugging the monitor and then plugging in the TV (via the DVI - S-video adaptor) each time I want to view EyeTV stuff. Is there some kind of switchbox available which would enable me to have both the monitor and TV connected and where I could just flick a switch to send the video signal to either the monitor or TV (note: I don't need the video signal to be displayed on both the monitor and TV at the same time).
Thanks in anticipation.

Sorry I misread your post.
One option would be an eyeHome which would connect to the ethernet port of the Mac mini.
Another option is a VGA Splitter.

Executing WINWORD from both Windows and linux using Java

Dear All,
I have a problem when trying to use Runtime class to execute a winword document. My code is as follows.
Runtime r= Runtime.getRuntime();
try{
r.exec("rundll32"+" "+"url.dll,FileProtocolHandler"+" "+"WINWORD"+ " "+"file://C://welkom.doc");
catch(Exception ex){
System.out.println("Unable to open the doc file:"+ex);
When I execute this swing application with the above, the program is unable to open the specific file. And it says "Problem with the short cut, unable to open the file". When I run the program without the file name, it opens a new doc file.
Attn: what I want to do here is I need to open the winword file from both windows and linux. So I cannot use the relative path of the WINWORD.exe file.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bala

If you take a look at the api, there's an exec(String[]) method. This is the one you should use when calling a command with multiple parameters.
so something like...
String[] cmd = new String[] {"rundll32", "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler", "WINWORD", "file://C://welkom.doc"}
r.exec(cmd);
