  • Using the iBook with the cover closed

    Can you hook up external monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc and use the iBook with the cover closed? I know that usually closing the cover puts it to sleep.

    The keyboard is an important component of the cooling of the CPU. Excess heat dissipates through the keyboard. Closing the cover would cause damage to other components from the heat. You can run iTunes with the screen off if that helps. Do that in systems prefs>energy saver and set the screen to go off in three minutes (or one) and the CPU to stay on indefinetly.

    can i use a pendrive with the ipad mini 2 and access the files in the pendrive

    I've literally had a 50/50 success rate with drives. But even if you get it to work, all you'll be able to access are photos or videos that follow a very strict naming convention. You cannot access documents or music, and you cannot write anything off the iPad onto a flash drive.
    If you want to access photos or videos, you'll get more reliable results with an SD card than fighting with a USB drive.

    Sure you can use a mouse.
    Lots of good stuff in the User's Guide.

    See the section Using a mouse on p. 70.
    Try Fn + F9 to turn off/on the touchpad. See Disabling or enabling the TouchPad on pp. 68 and 174.

  • Can i use Handle C with the LABVIEW FPGA module?

    Hi,
    Can i use Handle C with the LABVIEW FPGA module?  I am working with CompactRIO right now so, i want to know weather i can use Handle C with CompactRIO.Can i access FPGA in compactRIO independant of LABVIEW  means can i program it without using LABVIEW?
    regards,
    Vishnu.

    Hi Vishnu,
    Although we don't support Handel-C directly, it is possible to design your algorithms using 3rd party tools or system integrators and consume them from a top-level LabVIEW VI. The webcast at http://zone.ni.com/wv/app/doc/p/id/wv-268 shows an example of how you can use IP from C-based tools provided by Celoxica in the LabVIEW FPGA environment.

    PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-2M51)
    PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-2M1G)
    These are single channel 166MHz DDR333/PC2700, DDR SDRAM, 200-pin SoDIMM modules.

  • Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?

    Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?  How do I do that?

    They have to be either plugged in via headphone jack or the dock port at the bottom. If you can. I've used it on apple tv, but that's it. I don't know if the others work, but I don't see why not. Try plugging in speakers in the headphone jack. You will get an answer :)

  • Can I use Front Row with my Macbook closed?

    I just got a mini-dvi to video cable for my macbook. I love using front row with it but I was wondering if there was a way that you could use front row with the laptop closed. Oh and I'm using tiger, so its not the new version of front row.

    With your computer attached to a keyboard you should be able to wake it from sleep and run it properly with the lid closed.

  • Can I use 2 iPhones with the same iTunes account? help...

    At the moment I have an iPhone 3G but my wife doesn't. I have a Windows Vista machine at home that has all our music in iTunes and all the apps I have downloaded from the app store. We only have 1 login to our windows vista PC that we share, we don't have individual signons.
    On Friday I will be upgrading to the 3Gs and my wife will also be getting one.
    My question is can we sync both iPhones with the same PC using the same Windows login and the same iTunes account, i.e. share all music and apps with both iPhones?
    Thanks

    A computer can sync a dozen iPods and/or iPhones (just saying).
    However, You can't use more than one computer for that iPhone.

  • Can I use an adapter with the output stats: 5.2 volt and 1.0 amp for my iPod Touch 4g?

    Hello, I bought an iPod touch from apple store. I got the cable with one part to the iPod and the other USB. But i didn't get an adapter to make it possible to connect the USB to an adapter and then into the wall jack.
    So I had one at home with these stats: 5.2 volt and 1.0 amp. Can I use it to charge the iPod Touch or is it "unhealthy" for the battery?
    Kind Regards
    Kiwiii

    It shuld be fine. It is within the tolerance for USB 5 Volts.

    I have an Iphone 4S and a borrowed Bose Series II sound dock. Can I use my Iphone with this Bose and play my fav radio station from the internet? Or is this Bose only for IPod?

    bluetooth is likely closed when the iphone is suspended if not then you could use it as alarm clock but
    bluetooth use battery so if not connected to AC it would likely suck your iphone dry in the night

Any info is greatly appeciated, thank you.

    what Niel said is correct.
    however, there might be a (semi) workaround. check this thread for pointers: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11524444#11524444.
