  • How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.

    How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.
    the computer:Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.9.5), 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon
    the TV: LG Smart tv

    The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
    You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
    The times when the query is sent are:
    • at Startup
    • at wake from sleep
    • when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
    • when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

    Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

    If you have access to a digital video camera that has pass thru capability you can use it in lieu of the ADVC110.  Plug the VCR into the camera and the camera into the Mac and import into iMovie.

  • Can I use the connection capacity of FMIS to estimate the FMS Enterprise?

    Hi,
    Can I use the capacity of FMIS to estimate the maximum connection of FMS Enterprise?
    Even bandwidth and latency of RTMFP are minimum. FMS Enterprise may still need to monitor each peer when using RTMFP connections.
    So can I use the connection capacity of FMIS to estimate the FMS Enterprise?
    Thanks.

    Bryan,
    Smokerz was suggesting that you temporarily bring the Express upstairs, connect it & configure it, and then take it back down stairs again.
    As for your desired setup:
    Actually, if configured correctly, your Time Capsule should the source of your network and the Express should be the devise joining/extending it. This is the way I have it set up. However, you seem to want to configure it the other way around. Not very practical.
    Take a look at the following thread for a discussion on this:

    Particularly note the lengthy step-by-step provided by Tesserax.
    Hope this helps

  • I plan to purchase a Mac mini and then a new iPad.  Can I use the iPad as a monitor and keyboard for the Mac mini, either through the USB connection or thru Wi-Fi?

    I plan to purchase a Mac mini and then a new iPad.  Can I use the iPad as a keyboard and screen for the Mac mini, using either the USB connector or Wi-Fi?

    I'm sorry, I should have said thru Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi.  I want to use the mini as a base station and the iPad like a laptop that I can sync when I'm home and carry with me when I travel.  Is is possible to hook these 2 up - iPad/mini, through Bluetooth?  I understand I need to use a regular monitor/keyboard/mouse on the initial install.

  • HT201251 I want to use 30  ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices

    I want to use 30  ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices?

    Alternatively you can always manage your iPads (does not matter how many) with a single apple id and all reporting to your account under "find my device" service. Keeping an eye on all your units. Additionally as you mentioned these are for your Restaurant you may find the solutions offered by this company who creates apps and hardware for this purpose: http://www.spartakioskpro.com
    Additionally if you expand beyond those 30 iPads to say 300 you will want to enable or plan on MDM as your best option to automate every ipad to use the same profile and app and ios configuration while also keeping a close eye on all of them via online MDM services like: https://meraki.cisco.com/products/systems-manager

  • Can I use my norwegian iPhone 4 in the US for a few weeks?

    Can I use my norwegian iPhone 4 in the US for a few weeks?

    So I have lived in Daegu, South Korea for 9 months now. And our iphones work perfectly.
    Thankfully we didn't sell our phones in NZ, I had a look online and NZ doesn't lock IPhones to their networks like other countries.
    We went to SKT (in Daegu / National University of Ed) and bought new simcards for $10 each.
    Then signed up for contract / plans.
    We pay roughly $50 a month for unlimited data, 200 minutes, 600 text messages.
    It costs $9 to roam overseas a day.
    We've managed to travel to Japan and Hongkong using our South Korean sims.
    It' been pretty succesful for us.
    All I can say is, do heaps of research peeps, and don't stress :-)

  • How can I use the color adjustments interface that shows up for camera RAW on jpeg files?

    How can I use the color adjustments interface that shows up for camera raw on other files types? The HLS controls had the secondary color adjustments (6 colors instead of the 3). Plus, it had same vibrancy and a better Curves interface. Yesterday was the first time I imported raw into Photoshop CS5 and I got that really cool interface. What is that? Can I use that on other file formats?

    Actually I am using the Tradional Chinese Version, when I try to edit the jpg file with camera raw, the system shows that there is no camera raw plug-in. The cmaera raw never work.
