Can I use an HP Envy TouchSmart 23-d027c as an external monitor

We recently bought an HP Envy TouchSmart 23-d027c to use as our home computer but I was wondering if I can use it as an external monitor for my HP notebook. The guy as BestBuy said I would be able to but I just realized that there's no way to turn on the monitor without turning on the whole computer.
I sometimes work from home with my work laptop and I like to work with dual monitors. If anyone has any ideas on how this can work, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Here are the specs for your HP ENVY 23-d027c TouchSmart All-in-One Desktop Computer. Based on these specs, this model doesn't have a video input of any kind and therefore you will NOT be able to use this AIO computer as a monitor.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter with a VGA monitor?

Hey everybody,
I have a quick question. I work on computers fr friends and family as a hobby. I have an ADC monitor and need ot be able to hook up computers with a VGA port on them to it. Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter along with an Apple DVI to VGA adapter to successfully connect VGA computers to my ADC display? I was assuming this would work and ordered both adapters but now I have made myself nervous about weather or not this will actually work. Has anybody out there successfully done this? Thanks for your help in advance everybody.

You can't run an ADC display with a VGA computer without a converter. Adapters won't do it.
a VGA to ADC converter will drive the ADC display directly

If you have the Apple DVI to ADC adapter
<http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=18 72D402&nplm=M8661LL/B>
you could use it with a VGA to DVI converter
<http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1310>
It might be cheaper to get DVI graphics boards for the computers and use the Apple DVI to ADC adapter.

Your title says "Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter with a VGA monitor?". If you want to connect a VGA monitor to a computer's ADC port you need the ADC to VGA adapter
<http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1299> You can't use an ADC to DVI adapter followed by a DVI to VGA adapter, because the ADC to DVI adapter doesn't pass the analog video signals needed for VGA.

How can i use labview.tlb to control Labview from an external application?

Hi,
I've been told by a labview engineer that i could use the file
labview.tlb located in the labview install folder to control labview
from an external application (in my case, a C# app). I'm using Labview
6.1 under Windows 2000. This article confirms that:
"ActiveX and LabVIEW"
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/5401BE584FBAEECE862567C2006D36C7?opendocument
But i've not been able to find out how to use this file to achieve
what i want. I just want to be able to open/close labview, open/close
a vi, start/stop a vi, hide/show a vi from a C# application. The above
web page talks about activex but i really don't see the realtion
between activex and that labview.tlb file.
Is there so
mebody around who knows how to use that file? Why does NI
tell us that it's possible to do what i want to do but doesn't explain
how (or hides this info very well)?
Thanks

Thanks for the link, i actually already found this link before. I've
found yesterday how to use Labview.tlb, just add it to the references
of the project, it was probably too easy for me at that time:-) But
now, i'm still stuck as there is no doc about using the interfaces and
classes of this activex to control labview.
The example given on your link is made is C++ and for some reasons,
the wrapper generated for Labview.tlb when i added it to my c# project
doesn't seem to expose the same
interfaces and classes as the one used
in the C++ example. I therefore can't use the C++ example in C#.
I've tried to do something like:
LabVIEW.ApplicationClass a = new LabVIEW.ApplicationClass();
Just this line causes labview to launch but then immediately throws an
exception: "Query interface for interface LabVIEW._IApplication
failed".
Does somebody knows how to use that control in C#/VB.NET ?

Can I use a Dell W3706MC 37" LCD HDTV as an external NTSC Monitor?

Hello,
I was considering buying this dell TV as a second monitor for my studio as i mostly do audio post production and score music (this size monitor would be excellent for working on scores in my case) on a full time basis but I am expanding into film editing as well.
My question is can i use this as an external NTSC monitor for FCP 4.5HD and version 5? Any help would greatly be appriciated. You can view the tech specs of this TV at http://www1.ca.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/lcd_w3706mc?c=ca&cs =CADHS1&l=en&s=dhs

While it might be fine for corporate video or other non-broadcast work, it won't be appropriate for broadcast work. For that you need to buy a broadcast monitor.
The reason is that if you take 20 TVs of various models, and put them side by side (say you went to Circuit City or Best Buy), you wouldn't see the same image twice. They all would be slightly different. Even if you calibrated them, they might all look slightly different. But put 20 broadcast monitors side by side, all calibrated, and you will see exactly the same image and color representation.

How do I play dvds on hp envy touchsmart 15 notebook with an external player and Windows 8.1.

I have a HP Envy Touchsmart 15 NOtebook PC. I bought an external HP DVD player model dvd600s-H01 5 but I cannot play DVDs.

Hi @pattyathome
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having trouble with an external dvd player attached to your notebook.
What is the full product number for your notebook? Please read the following if you need help in finding that.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Does your notebook already have a built in dvd drive?
Did you install the drivers and software that came with the external dvd player? If there was originally no DVD player in your notebook, it is likely that there is no dvd player application loaded.
So in that event I would recommend installing from the software disk with the DVD drive.

How can I set a custom resolution on a MacbookAir for an external monitor?

I've been trying to set a custom resolution on my macbook air for an external monitor but the only options displayed are 1280x1024 and 800x600. How can I bring up more options? Thanks!

Your Mac sets those resolutions (and the display NAME) based on the information your display provides when a query is sent at Startup. If those are the only resolutions shown, then your display has said that is all it can do.
What display is this, and what Interface is being used?
This pane will tell you more about what the display has reported:

Can my 24", early 2009 i-Mac REALLY handle a 24" external monitor?

I'm aware that I can "technically" hookup an external monitor to my early 2009, 24" i-Mac using the min-DVI port on the back of the computer. My intent is to use the secondary monitor in Adobe Lightroom 5.0, so that I can view an image from the library full size on one display...while sorting through photos, previewing/weeding out shots from a shoot, etc. on the i-MAC display
However, I'm a bit concerned that my i-MAC (a core 2 duo, 3.06 GHz, with 8GB of RAM, and the
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB) may really start to show its age, and experience significant slowing while working in Lightroom with the second monitor attached.
Does anyone have this same setup (or something very similar), that might be able to tell me about their experience? Before I shell out the dough for the display (I'm eyeing one right now on Newegg) - I'd like to hear about what to expect.

I would not expect this setup to cause any slowdown. The Radeon HD 4850 w/512K VRAM has plenty of oomph to support an external display; 24" is no problem.
The bigger issue is Lightroom's own resource needs (it's a hog). 8GB RAM should be fine, but more would be better.
For what it's worth, I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro, 2.66 GHz Core2Duo, 8GB RAM and I am able to run Aperture, Photoshop CS6, Illustrator, etc. with an external display with no problems ... and most of the time I'm only using the embedded Intel GPU, not the discrete nVidia 9600.

HT1449 can i use this process for moving my library to an external drive?

My iMac is dying a slow death and I want to run itunes and iphoto off my external drive as the data may get corrupted if it stays on the computer hard drive.
If I designate a folder on my external drive and then cosolidate will that allow me to run itunes from the external drive?
When My iMac fails will I be able to take the data from that folder for the new iMac?
Thanks,

I'd suggest you just drag the entire iTunes folder (the _entire_ folder, _not_ just the iTunes Music folder) to your desired location. Then hold down the Option key while launching iTunes. You'll be given a dialog box where you can select the iTunes library you want to use. Navigate to and select the iTunes folder in it's new location. Note that this procedure assumes that all of your content is contained in the iTunes Media/Music folder. If things are scattered around your drive, moving them becomes much more complex.
As to moving iPhoto, you may want to confirm the correct procedure for your version of iPhoto in the iPhoto forums.
Your iMac cannot be running Mac OS 9.2.x, by the way. It will help people offer advice if you'll correct that.
Regards.

Can I use ExtendScript to store info about an Illustrator document externally and recover it later?

What I want to do is this:
1. Iterate through all the layers in a document (recursively) and discover each layer's NAME, VISIBLE, and LOCKED properties.
2. Create an object that contains those properties.
3. Push the object onto a second array.
4. Store that second array somewhere, preferably in a file (text?) in the same directory as the AI document.
5. Load that file at a later date as an object array.
6. Use the object array to iterate through the illustrator document to conform the current state of that document to the stored states in the array.
Ideally I would like to be able to store a number of separate states in the same document and refer to them somehow.
As you may have guessed by now, this is my attempt to make a LayerComps feature for Illustrator that I could use to turn visibilities on and off and then export the result, moving on from one state to the next until all the states I am interested in would be exported. I would settle for being able to do it one at a time.
I can already do steps 1-3 (shown in blue).
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var docName = doc.name;
var layerStates = [];
var layerCount = doc.layers.length;
var count = 0;
function addLayers(layerArray) {
        for (var i=0; i<layerArray.length; i++) {
            // create an object representing a layer state
            var o = {};
            o.name = layerArray[i].name;
            o.visible = layerArray[i].visible;
            o.locked = layerArray[i].locked;
            layerStates[count] = o;
            count++;
            // if this layer has layers of its own, iterate through those
            if (layerArray[i].layers.length > 0) {
                    addLayers(layerArray[i].layers);
addLayers(doc.layers);
// show that we did something, incomplete though it is
var s = "";
for (var i=0; i < layerStates.length; i++) {
        s += layerStates[i].name + ": ";
        s += (layerStates[i].visible ) ? "visible" : "invisible";
        s += ", ";
        s += (layerStates[i].locked ) ? "locked" : "unlocked";
        s += "\n";
alert(s);
I don't know if it is possible to export that data as XML or even a text string and save it as a file on the file system for later parsing. Anyone have any thoughts about this? Is it possible?
Currently I am using a restrictive version of a LayerComps script I created, which iterates through a top layer's sublayers, turning each on and exporting as PDF, then turning it off and moving to the next. This is more convenient than doing it by hand, but it really forces me to compartmentalize all "views" of a document in a way that does not lend it self to efficiency and forces redundant copying of pathItems between layers.
Thoughts?

Also good, and thanks again for your help. I wasn't sure if ExtendScript implemented the eval() method, necessary to re-objectify a JSON string, because I can't find it in the documentation, but I do see it used in some examples elsewhere. I've successfully written XML files at this point, and when I get a few minutes I'll work on the reading/modifying/exporting part. In the long run, XML files are easier to read, manipulate and maintain, so I'll probably go that route.
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var docName = doc.name;
var xml = new XML("<root></root>");
var layerStates = [];
var layerCount = doc.layers.length;
var count = 0;
function addLayers(layerArray, xmlObj) {
    for (var i=0; i<layerArray.length; i++) {
        // create an object representing a layer state
        var lay = layerArray[i];
        var x = new XML("<layer/>");
        x.@name = lay.name;
        x.@visible = lay.visible;
        x.@locked = lay.locked;
        xmlObj.appendChild(x);
        layerStates[count] = x.toXMLString();
        count++;
        // if this layer has layers of its own, iterate through those
        if (lay.layers.length > 0) {
            addLayers(lay.layers, x);
addLayers(doc.layers, xml);
var xmlFile = new File();
xmlFile.open('w');
xmlFile.write(xml);
xmlFile.copy ('C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS4/Presets/en_US/Scripts/data.xml');
xmlFile.close();
All in all, the documentation for this stuff leaves a little something to be desired. My original question had more to do with how file read and write text streams was handled. The answer was actually much simpler than I anticipated. All this stuff is, once you get a handle on it, but the docs are so stingy on particulars — does it really help us to know about the XML class merely that it "wraps XML into an object" or that XML.attribute(name) "returns a list containing all attribute elements matching the given name"? I finally worked it out for myself that the XML object may be manipulated using dot syntax (x.name, x.@name), but that was certainly not mentioned anywhere.
Ah, well. The journey is the reward, right?

Can i use time machine with a airport extreme and a external hard drive

I have connected a hard drive to my airport extreme.
Now i would like to use time machine to back up my computers, and would like to do this on the hard drive which is connected to my airport extreme.
Next step is that i would like to be able to approach my external hard drive via the internet.
Is this possible or not?

Both are possible. However, Apple does NOT support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks attached to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). Doing so will potentially lead to data corruption and is highly not recommended. Please check out this excellent Pondini article for more details. This article also provides the Apple Support references that states Apple's position. Bottom line? If your backups are critical to you, then you may want to rethink your backup solution.
As far as accessing the AirPort Disk from the Internet, the following is the basic steps to do so:
Start the AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn, and then, note the IP address shown.
Select Manual Setup.
Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
Select Disks, and then, select File Sharing.
Verify that both the "Enable file sharing" and "Share disks over WAN" options are enabled.
Verify that Secure Shared Disks = With a disk password. (Recommended)
Verify that AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed. (Recommended)
Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
For Service, select the "Personal File Sharing" option. (Note: This option would only allow Mac clients to access the AirPort Disks. If you want both Macs and PCs to connect, you would need to leave this field at its default value and enter the appropriate SMB ports to the mix of ports to be opened.)
In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your AEBSn that you wrote down in step 1. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, type 548. Click Continue.
In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "AirPort Disk File Sharing," and then, click Done.
Click on Update.
To connect to the shared AirPort Disk from a remote location using a Mac:
From the Finder > Go > Connect to Server.
Enter the Pubic (WAN-side) IP address of the AEBSn, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 11 of the previous procedure. For example: afp://www.mydyndnsdomain.com:8888 or afp://123.456.789.123:8888
Click Connect.
You should be prompted for your user name and password. The user name can be anything you like; the password should be the Disk password for the AEBSn that you created in step 6 previously.
Click Connect.

Can I use my Old MacPro 1.1 2006 as an external enclosure??

As I am waiting for my new MacPro to arrive (Delivery on March) I start wondering if the 4 bays of the old MacPro could not be used as an external enclosure that I could connect in some way to the New MacPro and cont to use the 4 Sata drives that I have installed in each of the bays for media storage etc..
I don't know if this is possible via USB, Ethernet or Thunderbolt connection and the drives would have to show up in the Finder window for Maverick on the new MacPro. I don't even know if when I do the Migration when the new one arrives it will only do it in the boot drive.
I don't plan to get rid of my Old MacPro immediately'.
Any ideas if this is possible.... via connections, additional cards, or external equipment????
Your input will be greatly appreciated,
Thank You,
AppleLou

If your old Mac Pro is still running properly you can easily access the data it contains via ethernet. There are other possibilities, but ethernet is fast and easy and only requires a bit of Cat5 cable.
You need to understand that you will not see the access and transfer speeds of the new system, but you will have (relatively) slow storage on a 1Gbit/sec port.
All that is required is to connect the systems with a Cat5 (ethernet) cable via a (gigabit) switch if you are on a network or directly if it's just the two machines. Then just turn on file sharing and log on onto the old MP using its login and password. This will give you access to everything.
All this assumes that you're not in some huge corporate network since this kind of access scares IT security guys bats. But it's been working in my home studio since the turn of the century.
hope this helps

What can i use to send adat i/o to analog for creating monitor mixes

i can budget a tascam 1804 for a new recording project i have, but it only has stereo outs. which means the band and i have to share the stereo outs. i need to be able to use the adat out to a box that allows 8 outs analog to setup monitor mixes for the band. at least i am thinking i need to.
anyone got any ideas of a device that can do this?

thanks for the reply. but i am talking about a mobile device.
it seems that if i want to do this the 1804 is not going to work. as i would have to get another device to give it more outs.
i am aware of the 828 and the 896 neither of which i want to own. i have used the 828, and well as it is a good device i just don't want to own one.
i guess the rme fireface is going to have to be what i get. if i am to have to routing capability that i want.
