Can you run the computer without the monitor

Can I remove the display and connect a monitor via the VGA output? My display is unusable and I would like it removed.

I'd be concerned that, in disconnecting the display cabling, the "dead ends" of that many electrical paths would make the computer unusable. The safest action is to leave the display in place and go with an external monitor.
What PowerBook to you have? Most that can run OS 10.5.8 have a DVI out and you need an adaptor like this:
Apple DVI to VGA Display Adapter
to drive a VGA monitor. That's the one I use on my 17-inch PowerBook when it's on an external display

  • Can you run the darker shade UI on iOS7 running v28

    Hi,
    Can you run the darker shade UI on iOS7 running v28 instead of the lighter shade UI?
    Thanks.

    The UI and certain features/functions in v28 has changed as compared to the previous versions. But you can customize the v28 UI color/fonts/text etc to something of your choice. Then replace the default UI with your own in App builder

  • Can you run the Import Wizard more than once at the same time?

    We're going to run the Import Wizard to import content from one BO environment to another.  Can we, at the same time, run the Import Wizard to import different content between those two environments (using the same source and destination both times)?  Obviously we'd have to run the wizard on different workstations.
    Would this cause any issues?  If so, what kind of issues would you expect?
    Thanks,
    Laura

    Yes, this is possible.  The source and destination CMSs treat the requests from the Import Wizard like any other -- increasing the number of active Import Wizard sessions just increases the load on these CMSs.  Before running multiple Import Wizard sessions, be sure there is ample processing power (CPU / memory) to handle the increased load.    and of course, avoid 'touching' the same content in the two sessions in order to avoid unpredictable results.

  • Don't know where else to post this, Can you run the old MS DOS on a Mac?

    The company I work for is a PC based invironment. I can of course get around most of that but there is one huge stumbling block.
    Believe it or not, the company is still using an old MS DOS application to look up orders over the network.
    Is there currently anyway to run a DOS program of my PowerBook G4? If not will these new MacBooks be able to?
    Thanks,
    -Tom

    Yes using Virtual PC on your G4 PowerBook.
    The new MacBooks can not run Virtual PC, however can dual boot with Windows XP SP2 and if the DOS applications can run on XP SP2 then you will be able to run them.

  • Can you turn the Monitor only off?

    I sometimes leave my Mac on for a couple of weeks when I tar el for work since I access it from the road.
    The monitor does go to sleep mode, but I was wondering if there is a way to have it simply stay off yet leave
    the computer still working?

    I have tried Ctrl + Shift + Eject and setting energy saver to 1 minute but as soon as I access the computer from the road the monitor turns on again.  I would like to have it stay off completely while I am on the road.  Is this even possible on my Mac?

  • Can you run an executable without the entire run-time engine?

    We have a 8.2.1 LabVIEW compiler that we have made our program with, but we need to use an NT computer to run it on.  Is there a way to get the 8.2.1 runtime manager to work with it or can we use an older version?  Or are we simply out of luck?

    I have no idea if this still works, but you could try the method described by Waldemar in this old post:
    http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=46409#M46409
    It seems you might even be able to run things directly from the CD. Sorry, never even tried any of this. Good luck!

  • Can you run the $9.99/mo version of Photoshop CC on multiple computers? If so, what's the maximum number of computers?

    I need to know if I can run Photoshop on my laptop and a desktop, or if I could run it on my computer and my wife could also run it on her computer. Or would we have to have multiple subscriptions.

    Hi Jdh2015,
    With a single subscription, you can install Photoshop on 2 machines, provided you are not using them simultaneously.

  • If you already bought the windows version of office (Microsoft, Powerpoint...) can you run it on the macbook pro? Please help.

    Can you run the windows version of Office 2010 on a macbook pro? please answer back.

    Yes, if you use Boot Camp to run Windows on your Mac, Microsoft Office 2010 will be able to run without any issues. If you want to run Microsoft Office from within Mac OS X, you would need to purchase Microsoft Office for Mac.
    Hope that helps, have a great day.

  • How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it??? At the moment, if I view them on my laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part.

    How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it (in Slideshow)??? At the moment, if I view them on my Mac Laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part, so I loose the top and bottom of the picture.  Have tried cropping, but that means I lose top and bottom part of the picture, so that is not the answer!!

    Homestly haven't a clue what's going on there. 
    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • How can i run the example programme without hardware

    Hi,
         We are using NI-9233 for our Project. We would like to run the example programme, the NI-9233 getting started(host).vi ... I would like to ask that how can i run the Programme without Hardware.& How shall i get the input signal (simulating signal)?because we would like to test it while we are waiting for the hardware to be delivered . 
    thanks
    Best regards

    As Mike indicated , " you can use MAX to simulate some (not all) DAQmx devices. There's a NI-USB-9233 device that you can probably use. Open MAX, then expand "My System", the expand "Devices and Interfaces", then right-click on "NI-DAQmx Devices" and select "Create New NI-DAQmx Device -> NI-DAQmx Simulated Device". Select the device from the list. See the online help for MAX for further help.
    If you don't see "NI-DAQmx Devices" in MAX you need to install NI-DAQmx. You can download it from NI here. "
    hi,
         the link you gave me to download is "NI-DAQmx Devices" ... There is no software to download for Labview 8.2.1. So should i use 8.1 or 8.3 instead of 8.2.1 ? If not, can you tell me the CD no. that includes the "NI-DAQmx Devices" folder of Labview 8.2.1 version? Because we can get the cd from our school's component store. Thank you so much.
    Best Regards,
    Su

  • Can you play the guitar program and also run a keyboard at the same time using seperate outputs for both?

    I wanted to be able to play live on my electric guitar using mainstage and my keyboard player to use mainstage on the keyboard can this be done using the mainstage 2 on this computer?  Also if this can be done can you send the keyboard output and the guitar output seperatly to be able to be in different channels in the PA system?

    Short answer: YES (but you will need to carefully consider how you organise your Patches with Guitar and Keys combinations, so that you both get the correct sounds at the same time)

    Yes, ideally using a multi-output audio interface. edit (with 2 outs for the guitar, and 2 for keys... you might also want another 2 pairs for monitoring)
