Change refresh rates and resolution on another computer

Hi, am i able to use a LAN cable from Computer A and connect to computer B then change B's refresh rates and resolution? for example from 800x600 to 1024x768 then change refresh rate from 60Hz to 75Hz. please advice thanks.

Hi Trig,
Thanks for your post and I hope your well today.
There are two parts to this - in my mind:
1. Changing Screen Resolution Programmatically From LabVIEW
2. Use VI Server to remotely call a VI i.e. Computer A calling VI on Computer B which then runs the VI mentioned in 1.
1.
This link is a dev zone article which has code for programmatically changing the screen resolution
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/1429
Try it out.
2.
VI Server
The NI Example Finder contains some expamples for this.
Building VI Server Applications
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361E-01/lvconcepts/building_vi_server_applications/
If you could provide more details, maybe versions of LabVIEW etc then maybe we can help you some more - have you got some code yet? And did you have any thoughts on how to do this?
Another method I have consider is:
Using a tool such that runs an exe or script which alters the resoltion.
Then using the cmd (comand line) or in LabVIEW System Exec.vi to run the exe (via VI Server).

Cant change refresh rate

hi
2 days ago i put in a connect3d 9600xt and it works great.
BUT my screen flicker when using 60hz refresh rate and i had it on my onboard gf4 to when using 60hz.
but its till there now when raising it and i tried all rates between 60-200 no difference at all.
dxdiag.exe reports the rate i have chosen.
i uninstalled old drivers and at the same time i uninstalled realtek drivers because i put in a sb audigy which works perfectly.
got the latest driver from connect3d webpage.
directx 9
anyone
good night

its not a stupid question when it comes to me
rebooted several times.
right now im running 1024*768 32bit and windows reports im running a refresh rate of 150.
the gfx card only supports 120hz in this resolution.
i can chose up to 200hz
my monitor supports up to 150hz
ive tried every available rate between 60-200hz no change whatsoever between them.
i hate when it flicker.it gives me headache
dont have any monitor drivers.
its running as a standard monitor.
never had this trouble with the onboard gfx before because i just change it from 60hz to 75hz or higher.
it disappears when using 70hz or higher.
its barely visible.

How to set the Codec, Frame rate, Bit rate, and Resolution for iMovie 10.0.5

To upload a video to Vimeo, I need to be able to set the codec, frame rate, bit rate and resolution to make sure the file is compressed to under 500 MB. Where in iMovie 10.0.5 am I given the option to adjust these settings?
Thank you!

Another question is in continuous mode, NI DAQmx uses Samples per channel to determine the buffer size. But according to the website you specified, it says if the acquisition is continuous (sample mode on the DAQmx Timing.vi is set to Continuous Samples), NI-DAQmx will allocate a buffer according to the following table. And for sample rate between 100 - 10,000 S/s, the buffer size is 10 kS. So if I set the sample rate to be 5000 S/s, and set the Samples per channel to be 20000, then what exactly the buffer size is? 20 kS or 10 kS?
Thanks.

How to export and import on another computer whole database connection

Hi
how to export and import on another computer whole database connection with all contents ?
step by step

From the "source" computer do this:
1) Open SQLDeveloper.
2) Right click on the main connections node and choose export connections.
3) Select the connections you want exported and choose a file name and location to save them.
4) Save the file by clicking OK then copy it to the destination PC.
On the "destination" PC assuming you have already installed SQLDeveloper do this:
1) Open SQLDeveloper.
2) Right click on the main connections node and choose import connections.
3) Browse to the connections file you copied earlier and select the connection you saved.
4) Complete the import by clicking OK and you are done.
Mind that this is sufficient only if you have only basic connections, if you have TNS connections you will also need to manually copy the Tnsnames file from the "source" PC to the "destination" PC and set the
Tools -> Preferences -> Database -> Advanced Tnsnames directory
to the directory where you copied the Tnsnames file.

Changing refresh rate blanks screen indefinitely

Hi all,
I'm new to the mac world and I was exploring OSX upon bringing my new Mac Pro home.
I have an old 17" Benq LCD monitor (upgrading soon) that I had hooked up using the analog to DVI adapter. I've heard that LCD's usually always are set at 60Hz but stupid me had to try other refresh rates. I set the refresh rate to 80Hz and the screen went blank and a box came up stating the refresh rate was "out of range".
I thought that it would automatically revert a la XP but after 5 minutes nothing. So in the meantime I just swapped to a different video output on the video card.
Could someone please tell me how I can revert the refresh rate to 60Hz so that DVI output can be utilized.
Thanks for reading!

Use the "Gather Windows" button in the "Display" pane of "Displays" System Preference. You can change setting for both displays from one display. You can also check "Show displays in menu bar" to get control of both displays.

Problem with ATV refresh rates and frame rates

I live in Australia and as such I am subject to PAL, so when I set my ATV up I set it to 720P 50Hz, when I purchased a TV season the episodes were running at 25fps and played back flawlessly with no dropped or added frames. My problem occurs when I download movies, all the movies I have bought are running at 24fps and suffer from quite noticeable jitter, almost like the 24th frame is duplicated and added as the 25th frame, I assume it is something like this as the pause happens every second.
So has anyone had a problem similar to this and if so what do you do about it?
Does the ATV playback all sources (24/25) smoothly even if it has to convert?
Could it be caused by my TV?
Any help to any of these questions would be great.
Thanks.
Tim.

With my particular Apple TV setup and TV combination, I find that setting to 1080p (60hZ) gives my the best all-round round results.
This does result in -slightly- jerky motion with 25fps material (especially old British TV shows), but it's bearable. It's particularly noticeable with sideways scrolling text and credits.
The one thing that is peculiar on my setup is if I use 720p (either @60hz or 50hz) and watch an iTunes-purchased HD episode that is encoded at 24fps I get very odd motion effects indeed. Every few seconds the video appears to speed up almost like it is 'catching up' with lost frames - very hard to explain exactly how it looks. Anyway I set to 1080p and this effect is gone completely. It also goes away if I set to 1080i. I think something queer is going on with 720p on the Apple TV (at least with my TV there is). This happens with both HDMI and component outputs.
It may be worth trying 1080i at either 50 or 60Hz if your set can't do 1080p.
I would also suggest that 60hz in theory should give a smoother motion for 24fps playback than 50Hz.
My basic problem with all this is that on even a cheap DVD player if a disk is 50Hz, the player switches to 50Hz output and if it is 60Hz, it will change to 60Hz. The Apple TV stays fixed. It's a shame it can't autoswitch refresh rates.

Monitor refresh rates and Open Firmware

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the default monitor refresh rate of an iMac in Open Firmware and how?
Thanks.

Thanks but I think the iMac G5 does have a refresh rate or something analogous to one, in this case I believe it is 60 hertz. I want to know how to change it in firmware because I believe it will solve an issue my display suffers from. See here:

Can't change Refresh Rate

To try to get my new Samsung LN-R268W monitor to show what's on the screen of my Power Book G4 (OS 10.4.5), the lady at Samsung Customer Support said I need to make sure my Refresh Rate is 60 hertz. System Preferences>Displays>Color LCD>Display had the Refresh Rate showing a greyed-out "n/a." Advice?

Is this before or after you've got the image on your
Samsung? If it's before you've connected it, or used
the F7 key to toggle to mirror/span mode, the only
display you'll see under System Preferences is the
built in display. And the refresh rate for that will
be "n/a".
Most monitors will be auto-detected by OS X, and the
refresh rate will be set without any input. My 20"
widescreen Dell LCD automagically defaults to 60Hz.
At any rate, refresh rates for LCDs are kind of
meaningless - they don't actually refresh like old
CRT monitors do.

You're right. Today I learned from talking to somebody that I should turn on my monitor before I turn on my laptop. Page 53 of the Apple manual "Getting Started With Your Powerbook G4" suggested the opposite. However, if I had read page 53 and its reference to page 97 more carefully, I would have checked the "mirroring" box.

Moving Ipod and Itunes to another computer - purchased items will not load

I recently moved my music and video from one computer to another. All music that I loaded from CD moved fine. The items that I purchase from the iTunes store, was erased from my iPod but remains in my library. Additionaly, when I purchased more music on the new computer, it goes into the library, but not onto the iPod. I have not deauthorized the first computer, but I need to somehow "authorize" the new computer, but I don't know how.
Please help
Dave

Accidentally changed scrub rate and now nothing will play

I was listening to an audio book, and I went to change the time I was at in the bar and moved my finger the wrong way and changed the scrub rate and now nothing will play, no matter how fine or normal the scrub rate is. Seriously, how do i change it back so I can hear sound again!?

And then I paused it to finish something and then when I went back to play, the sound wouldn't work again. What am I supposed to do? What's with this scrub rate nonesense? Help me please!!

My daughter has locked herself out of her ipod touch. Ironically the computer it is synced to just crashed, is it possible to get her up and running from another computer?

My daughter set a password and forgot it, she has locked herself out of her ipod touch. The computer the ipod was synced w/ has crashed, is it possible to restore her settings from another computer?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
