Can't get dual monitors to come back up when docking. T500 with mini dock & XP

I have a T500 with XP installed. I am using it docked into a mini dock attached to two 20inch Viewsonic monitors. One connected via VGA and the other DVI. I setup the dual monitors just fine. Anytime after I undock and boot up the laptop I can't get the dual monitors to automatically display. I have to go into the display properties and re set it up each time. Can anyone suggest any ideas?

When your T500 power-on , press F1 to log in BIOS, and change the option in >config>Display>Boot-Display-Device to Both or VGA, I suppose that it will reslove your problem.

Can't Get Dual Monitors to Work

My main monitor is connected via DVI and my second monitor is using a VGA cable. I've tried just about everything and can't get the 2nd monitor to display.
When using AMD Catalyst Control Center, the "Detect Displays" section can only find my main monitor.
When using Window's "Screen Resolution" settings, the 2nd monitor is found, but it will not allow me to set it to "Extend these displays" in the Multiple Displays dropdown. The only option that works is "Show desktop on on 1", which ofcourse, only allows me to use the main monitor. I've attached a screenshot below.
Please help! I bought this computer because it allowed for 1-3 monitors and if I can't even get 2 working, I'll have to return it.
Thanks!

How do I get my phone to come back on when i updated the software i have no clue how to im literally in tears.

help me

If the phone does not start, press and hold the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
If this does not help, try to connect in recovery mode to iTunes, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

I am a student and Firefox 4 is not compatible with TestGen, now I have a real problem. I can't get Firefox 3 to come back

I am enrolled in Intermediate Algebra with Pearson My Math Lab and they use TestGen to take quizzes and test. Firefox 3 was compatible with this program. Over the weekend I download Firefox 4 and lost access to my tests and quizzes. Their Tech Support just said that Firefox 4 is not compatible and to download Firefox 3 once again. I did this, but I can not bring it back up; Firefox 4 only comes up.

To revert to the previous secure version, please do the following.
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop.
EDIT: just noticed you have a MAC, so follow removal instructions here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_firefox

I can't get my yahoo to come up correctly it's marked with a gray certificate lock

Why can't I get my yahoo account to come up in firefox it comes up fine in Internet explorer 11. It comes up with just a list of text. Thanks for any help Charles

Here are a couple questions:
(1) Does it make any difference if you access Yahoo! mail through the general "redirector" or through the Yahoo home page? (In some cases if you are using an old link/bookmark, Yahoo doesn't always redirect to the correct new server.)
* http://mail.yahoo.com/
* http://www.yahoo.com/
(2) Have you noticed any issues with secure sites lately, such as Firefox not trusting their certificates or having to make exceptions?
More generally:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test Yahoo! mail in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* (menu bar) Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Back from where?
You choose to not copy them off to a computer as they are designed to be.
If they are no longer showing in iCloud, they are gone.

HT1918 how can i get the user manual info back which has been erased from my settings icon pafe after a restore from itunes

how can i get my user manual info back onto my settings menu
this heading did not appear on the settings menu following a restore necessitated bt a freezing screen glitch thanks

I'm not entirely sure what you are referring to, there isn't a user manual section in the iPad's Settings app. If you want an iPad then you can either download it from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/
Or if you download the iBooks app then there should be a copy in the ibookstore in it

If your iPod Touch is too old for iOS 5 or later... there is not much you can do.
When/if you get a later model iDevice you will be able to Download Past Purchases using the Original ID that made those Purchases. (providing they are still supported by the Developer)

Can't get my tab to go back to my google search when click on a link, says for securiety can be seen unencripted, do I want to continue, securiety warning?FIX?

Hello I Can't get my tab to go back to my google search when click on a link, says (aproximately) for securiety can be seen cause unencripted, do you want to continue, security warning. How to fix this? It is annoying. this expecially happens when I am searching for information on how to solve a problem like this and I click on a link and it turns out to be someone selling a fix. It wipes out my ability to go back and leave the page.
the dropdown arrow after the URL, after the star and before the refresh circle/arrow contains old history but not recent history.
Also, I can't get to https://www.google.co.cr/ I just got back to Costa Rica yesterday. I can to to google.com but not https://www.google.co.cr/ which populates automatically. I want to go to https://www.google.co.cr/ .
Any ideas on these problems.

Seeking a clear description of getting dual monitors to work

I've spent a long while researching the issue of getting dual monitors to work on a new mac mini - which I will be purchasing as soon as I figure this one out! But I am bamboozled by references to the various types of connections and ports. If anyone has the patience to explain this really simply and clearly, I'd be very grateful.
Interestingly, the Apple guy on the phone today told me it isn't possible - it's either/or for the display connections. But clearly it IS possible, because there is so much discussion about it here...
Here's where I confess my technical limitations, and say that I am confused about what I need (to purchase, presumably) to get my two existing monitors to work with the new mini.
They are presently connected to my PC (soon to be ceremonially consigned... etc) with cables which have regular D-sub connectors at each end. This means they are vga, right? There is no digital connector on either monitor.
So I am trying to figure out
a) is it possible to use these two monitors in a dual display setup with a mac mini? If so:
b) How?! And then;
c) what leads and/or connectors do I need to buy in order to connect them up?
Thanks for being here, I hope for some patient guidance.
Jeff

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
An '09 Mac mini has two video out pots on the rear; a mini-DVI port and a mini-DisplayPort. The Mac mini comes with a mini-DVI to DVI-D adapter. If you use what came in the box with the mini, you need a DVI-D to VGA cable to connect one of your monitors. Otherwise you need a mini-DVI to VGA adapter and a VGA to VGA cable for one monitor. For the other monitor you need a mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter and a VGA to VGA cable.

I have a iphone 4s and i can't get the charger to come out of the phone its stuck on one side and will not come out

I Have a iphone 4s and can't get the charger to come out...it was hard to get out the time before but i thought it was just me so then i charged it last night tryed taking it out and it is stuck on one side and will not come out...any suggestions on how to get it out?

You will just have to carefully pull harder. Push the other side back in so it is aligned, then pull it straight out.

In version 3.x.x I used to be able to type search terms into the address bar and the page would load, similar to Google's "Feeling Lucky" button. Now it just brings up a Google search for the terms I typed in. How can I get this time saving feature back?

The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below

If you prefer, you can also do this by installing the Browse by Name extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name
