Can built-in (primary) LCD sleep while Secondary LCD is awake and active?

I am not sure how this iMac video-out works on the new Intel iMacs?
Can I buy a 30" LCD TV and hook it up to my iMac and have it mirror it but have the built-in LCD sleep? No need for 2 mirrors to run?
OR
Have both LCD's act as an extended screen but have the secondary do screen savers while the primary sleeps?

I don't believe that you can separately sleep the monitors. I don't have an intel iMac yet, but I've not been able to do this on prior macs.

How can I turn off the screen while keeping the mac awake?

I am using teamviewer to remote connect to my office Imac from home. However, every time I connected, my imac screen will turn on and everyone else in the office can see what my imac is doing..
Is there some method to turn off the screen while keeping the mac awake, so I can remote connect to it?
PS: I am using OSX 10.7.3

Energy Saver, you can keep the computer awake while the screen saver shuts the monitor off but I'm not sure that would do it for you.

HT202213 When using home sharing, can you access your itunes files while traveling on the 2nd and 3rd ipads?

If we use home sharing for a new ipad, can we cet to itunes with the ipad while we are away from home?

No.
Homesharing is for local area network over wifi only.

Can We Add a Target System Once Task List is Open and Active?

Has anyone been able to add a system to an existing project (i.e., task list)? We have a pre-existing project that we created when we recently upgraded to ECC 5.0. At the time of the upgrade, we didn't upgrade one system (MNT) in the event we had to look back at how the old version operated or looked. We've since upgraded the MNT system and want to add it as a target system for the pre-existing project.
Is anyone aware of a method to add this system as a target without creating a new project?

Hello Bob,
I've find your question. It's been a while since you've asked it, but did you already found a solution to adding a system to an existing maintenance project?
I've got that problem now.
And I would appreciate it if you could forward me the solution.

Fans always @4400rpm, sleeping while working

I have a 1st generation 20" iMac that has very loud fans and that has recently started going to sleep while I'm working. Needless to say, this is pretty annoying.
I have...
- repaired permissions
- run both Disk Utility and Diskwarrior
- reset the SMU
- reset the PRAM
- checked CPU usage with Activity Monitor (nothing abnormal)
Using X-Resource Graph I see that the CPU temp is a pretty consistant 68.7 Celcius and that the CPU fan is running at 4400 from the moment the machine is turned on.
I called Apple support, who suggested that I bring the computer to the nearest Authorized Service Center, which is an hour's drive (Maine) or purchase Applecare. I understand the benefits of Applecare, but want to make clear that this computer needed a Motherboard replacement straight out of the box (with a refurbed component) and has always had problems. It is also in the serial number range of computers in the iMac G5 power/video extended warranty. It seems unfair that Apple should expect me to drive an hour each way to drop off a computer, and then to be without it while it's being fixed (hard to be a web designer without a computer) when it was broken out of the box.
Does anyone have any advice on software issues that I may have missed?

Today, after continuous problems with the iMac going to sleep, and after noticing that some of the logic board transistor's had bulging tops, I re-ran the Apple Hardware Test and got an error for the logic board - 2GMC/3/15: built-in
Broke down and ordered Applecare. Called Apple support and the rep said, and I kid you not, "Oh, you totally have to replace the logic board." Unfortunately, I have to wait for the Applecare package to arrive in the mail and then arrange for someone to come and repair it. Oh yeah, and it usually only takes 5 days or so to get an appointment.
Wait! I'm relying on this computer, which has NEVER worked properly, for my business. I just paid $169 for Applecare to have it repaired more conveniently, even though it's in warranty, and now I have to wait for the Applecare package to arrive (estimated 5 days) and then call for an appointment.
If a vs.1 iMac G5 user has a bad logic board (bad power supplies, bad thermal sensors, etc.) Apple should pick the computer up and deliver it back repaired. If the computer needs to have its logic board replaced more than once, the computer should be replaced. Why can't Apple just do what is right, acknowledge that the vs. 1 G5 iMac had serious problems, and repair them at their expensive and at their customer's convenience.
This is leaving a seriously bad taste in my mouth!

My Ipad (4?) screen went black but I can hear it. I tried hitting both the sstart button and sleep button for 10 seconds and the apple icon comes up, my screen saver shows for 1 second and it returns to black screen again. I can hear SIRI. How do I fix?

I had been using the IPAD and all of a sudden it started talking back to me and when swiping apps to close them they would not close. She (the IPAD) kept talking back to me such as "use three fingers" etc. Then the screen went blank and if I touched it I could get it to beep at various touch points. SIRI would also communicate, but the screen stayed black.
As was suggested here, I tried getting a reboot by holding the sleep key with the home key and after 10 seconds the apple logo shows and 5 seconds later my screen saver comes on for just one second, and then it goes back to a black screen. SIRI tells me shes not available and someone else, must be her sister, says things like 90%, 85%, 80% if I continually swipe the screen. Can anyone help me?

Hello, Juniorjr2.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like screen curtain may be enabled. Screen curtain is a feature that allows display privacy. To disable screen curtain while VoiceOver is enabled, you can three finger triple tap the screen to disable this feature. You may need to press the home button once in order to process these steps. If you wish to disable VoiceOver, see the link in the article below.

IPhone 4s with ios 6 shows full wifi signal but can't access to the internet while other idevice can

Hi everyone,
I updated my iphone 4s to ios 6 a few months ago and there was no problem until I change my sim card to other carriers last two days. This second sim card is the same sim card that I used it earlier this year with no problem. But the problem I face is when my iphone goes to sleep mode I realised that I can't receive any push notification from imessage, Whatsapp, and Line. When the phone is awake the wifi signal is back and I have to go to each application in order to get the message. I have tried the following methods but it didn't work: reset all network settings, restore as new iphone, push home and power button together, switch off my iphone, turn on airplane mode, and even change my router. At the moment I have restored my iphone as new for the 5th times.
Now the problem is worsen, after the phone is sleep for about 5 minutes and when I awake my iphone it shows the wifi signal. But I can't access to the internet at all. It shows no working internet on Whatsapp. Safari can't load any web page, the weather app can't update temperature etc. I have to switch off and switch on wifi in setting menu so that I can use the internet. And when I leave my iphone four about 5 - 10 minuetes then the problem start again. While I can't access to the internet on my iphone 4s, I used my dad's iphone 4s with ios 5.0.1 and it works just fine with the internet. My laptop can also access to the internet with the same wifi network but not my iphone.
Does anybody know what's going on with my iphone 4s? Is it the bug from IOS 6 or my iphone is broken? Please help me.
Thank you.

Any update will cause problems for a few users. And those users will rush here and post "the sky is falling" stories about their experience. The 99.99% of people who have no problems after an update won't bother to post here; indeed, most of them don't even know ASC exists. FWIW, I had no problems with iOS 7 on my 4S. Your problem is most likely not related to iOS 6, but you should probably update anyway.

Can't restore from Disk Utility while booted from OS installation DVD

I'm absolutely astounded by this.
I have a new MacBook Pro 17". I restored my files to it and in short order, had it too full/fragmented to re-partition it for Boot Camp.
So I decided to image the disk and store that image file on a FireWire drive, wipe the system disk and restore it cleanly from the image file backup, hoping that would result in contiguous blocks used so that I could then re-partition for Boot Camp.
When booted off the OS X for Intel DVD-ROM disc (10.4.6 - the one that came with my MacBook Pro), if I get out of Installer and into Disk Utility, if I select the internal hard drive and click the Restore tab, I can easily select the hard drive backup image with the button. But the "Destination Disk:" box is only accessible via dragging the disk to the box.
There's one little problem - there is no Desktop, so the disk(s) do not appear on the Desktop. There is no way to drag the target disk to be restored to into the Destination Disk: box. You cannot drag a disk out from the little sidebar inside the Disk Utility window over to the Destination box. I tried. You can't drag any disk anywhere from that sidebar. It's clear that the only way to drag a disk anywhere is if it's shown on the Desktop in Finder (which isn't running when the installation DVD-ROM is booted from). There is simply no way that I can find to restore a disk drive from a saved backup disk image when booted from the installation DVD-ROM.
Please tell me I'm ******** and missing something, or if there's a Better Way to do this. (I can't seem to run Retrospect while booted off the DVD-ROM, so I can't restore from my Retrospect full backup of the disk, either. Joy!)
(I'm really curious if there's a Better Way - especially because it appears I can't boot from an external FireWire or USB 2.0 drive, so I need something that will work in this extremely limited installation DVD-ROM booted environment, I think.)
MacBook Pro 17" dual 2.16 GHz ; Mac OS X (10.4.6) Booted from Mac OS X for Intel 10.4.6 installation DVD-ROM

You can use an external bootable drive with a MacBook Pro -- check your manual or the built in help. Your problem is that for some reason, you can't install a bootable system on one. There are several reasons why Installer won't enable you to do so: insufficient space, incompatible partition scheme (should be GUID) or file system (should be HFS+ or similar), or wrong installation option selected.
It is possible this is related to why you can't drag the startup volume to the destination box in Disk Utility. It must be an HFS+ variant file system.
I think you should check carefully with D.U. the partition scheme of all your drives & the file system format of all the volumes involved. Also run repair disk, as someone has already pointed out.
The behavior with the Restore function is not normal -- you should be able to drag a volume to the destination box from the list.

Wakes from sleep while lid closed

I got my MBP three weeks ago and I have noticed that when I have the lid closed and it is sleeping and I set it down it begins to make noise and when I open the lid I see that has already come out of sleep mode. I know that the MBP's have a motion sensor that shuts off the hard drives when it senses that the computer is falling or something. When I'm putting it down and it does this, it is always on a hard surface but it's not like I'm dropping the computer down, I'm gently placing it. Any thoughts?

That's cool.. It's good to see they fixed it on the latest revision. The college ordered these right before apple's last upgrade to the MBP. These are the 2.33 GHZ Core 2 Duo machines. The tech did mention that I could take these to the nearest Apple store.. a 2 hour drive, and one of the people at the store could evaluate them and then decide if they should be fixed. No guarantee they would.. and according to him and my description.. "the behaviour is expected.."
While it would be worth popping them into a fedex shipper to know they'd get fixed.. I guess I have to decide if it's worth a two hour drive to maybe get it fixed. The sleep sensor is such a simple and small part.. I'm reasonably confident I can fix it. I'll weigh my options in the next couple of days. Now that I know what's causing it.. I'm not as worried about it as I was. I had envisioned bare wires shorting out in the lid or something.
I will contrast Apple's support with Dell's though. I really despise Dell.. but, when the college has a problem with a machine, they send a part out no questions asked. The college has it's own tech support team and Dell will either send a tech immediately, or send the part to one of our team members. I'd really like to see the college choose more apple products. But, their response to our repair request has hurt that effort. Can you see us with a lab full of macs driving them two hours to an Apple store because of some hardware problem? We don't pay any extra for the Dell support, it's part of the product warranty. Apple could learn a thing or two...
I may stew on this a few days and call tech support again..

Can I move my very large iPhoto app and photos from main HD to a larger secondary HD via drag and drop?

Can I move my very large iPhoto app and photos from main HD to a larger secondary HD via drag and drop?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Can I use my new IPad while it is charging

Can I use my New IPad while it is charging?

You can use the iPad while it's charging, however, it will take longer to fully charge.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Computer goes to sleep while I'm working

Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone can pinpoint my problem and help me fix it.
My computer goes to sleep while I'm working on it.
Just by itself. Sometimes right in a row.
Does anyone know any tips that I can use.
I copied the contents from Console.app
and here is what I found:
sleep demand recorded: Thu Mar 1 08:14:57 2007\n\n
Mar 1 08:49:24 My-G5 EÊæÔ[137]: sleeptime recorded: Thu Mar 1 08:14:57 2007\n\n

G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

If you have issues with a Mac or display that goes to sleep at inappropriate times, you may have a problem with Energy Saver. Delete the following .plist files and restart:
-/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
-/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist--
(username is your name or System Administrators name)
-/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
A restart is very important after deleting these plists. After a reboot your Mac will then generate new ones.
Cheers!

Canon 700D: How to keep LCD on while snapping photos

Hey guys, I was snapping modelling photos for a friend, I set it on multiple shots by holding down onto the shutter button so that she can move around while I take shots. Anyway, I find it inconvenient when I hold down onto the button, I can't see what is happening because my LCD will be blank as it is taking pictures. Is there a way for the LCD to display what it is snapping like a live feed, while it is snapping?

Not unless you are shooting a movie.
The screen goes dark for a moment while the processor chip records the image and creates the preview for the LCD. If you are going rapid fire there will be a longer cumulative delay in seeing your preview (of the final shot) in the LCD.

Primary Key Conflicts While Inserting Rows

Hi,
I am inserting some rows into a table which has primary key constraints on columns 1,2,3. I have set the key columns in my program to 1,2,3. When I try to insert a row it throws a syncresolver exception stating that there is a key conflict. But i don't understand why it is doing this because there is no conflict. I can remove the primary key constraints off the sql table (but still leave them on in the program) and it will insert everything correctly.
Any ideas?
Thanks

By the way, the program inserts the first row, but not the second. Based on my trials with the original program I am working on the syncproviderexception handler seems to have a conflict on insert row on Switch column. This is why I believe java is not interpreting the PKs as a group but rather as individually.
