Choice of screen

Hi,
Given a MacPro with a X1900 card - what would be good choice of LCD for running Aperture?
I am torn between the ACD23" and a cheaper DeLL24" Ultrasharp 2407WFP. Being on a student budget I would like to have money for more equipment and currently favour the DeLL screen due to its similar spec and lower price, but that about ColorSync? Will the ADC screen be a better choice in terms of visual quality over time, or is it just as safe to go for the DeLL. Will purchase of the DeLL require a separate colorsync device to keep it well adjusted at all times?
Happy for any input on what to buy,

This isn't an answer to your question but may be of some use to others who see the subject title "choice of screens". It has some useful information on LCD screen types and their advantages/disadvantages.

[SOLVED]Countdown in OS Selection screen in Grub

Hi,
How do I get timeout(seconds ticking) in the OS Selection page of Grub when booting the comp. instead of the console before even the selection options come.
Last edited by chakra-user (2010-03-12 15:05:26)

No I mean to show Count down on the OS Selection Menu screen. Currently I have say Timeout value of 10, then I see message such as(not on arch box right now so giving from what I remember)
Press esc to go ahead...:9<<count down from 10..0>> On the Screen after BIOS POST Test and grub loaded, but before the OS Choice grub screen. If I press esc then I get the screen where I can select which OS I want to boot into i.e Arch Linux, Fallback, Vista etc. On other OS, I get this Choice screen with the count down at the bottom and if I don't select any OS before the countdown becomes 0 then the default OS gets booted. So I want to see it this way and not count but no os menu and on next page os menu with no countdown.
Hope I have explained the situation.

Screen resolution in Windows XP

Hi all,
I have a iMac 24", with a screen resolution of 1920x1200. I installed Windows XP with Bootcamp. The problem I have now is in Windows, the highest possible choice for screen resolution is 1600x1200 which doesn't look good at all.
How do I change that into 1920x1200?
I am a complete newbie when it comes to windows so help is appreciated. (I only installed it to run SolidWorks during work).
Thanks,
Veronica

Hi Veronica,
just to rule ou the obvious:
Have you installed the BootCamp Windows Drivers from the OSX DVD yet ?
If not, while in Windows pop in the OSX DVD and the Driver Installation should start automatically.

Viewing videos in full screen or at least 2x

I watch a lot of streaming video on Safari (I don't have a TV). CNN, Jon Stewart, etc. On a Windows PC, I am able to right click an select a zooming choice (full screen. Do I need to download IE or Netscape for MAC?
Another question, somewhat related. Is anyone else watching Frontline PBS online and not able to use the Real Player link (the audio is fine, but the video plays more like a slide show)?
Thanks for reading this.

I just found an interesting apple support document that says that in mobile me, videos published by imovie and final cut etc can be viewed full screen , but ones published by aperture 3 cannot. So this implies that aperture has a problem with full screen video.... I think.
So for now, the way I found , which is to make the move a slide show, and then view the slide show seems to be the only way to view movies in full screen in Aperture 3... But it is very odd to have to do that!....

Choosing the optimum screen resolution?

I am having problems with the choice of screen resolutions.
I using an external screen with my MacBook Pro closed. Mavericks auto choice produces an image on the external screen that overlaps the right edge of that screen. I can fill the external screen by choosing a lesser resolution but I get constant reminders that this is not the optimum resolution. How do I resolve this problem? Any help would be welcome. Thanks.

Natively you'll get a resolution of 1440 x 900 or you can pay for an upgrade to 1680 x 1050(current models).

UIWebView Content not filling screen in landscape

Hello everybody.
I'm working on a simple iPhone app that will host a specific web page in a UIWebView. I found that once I open the app, zoom out (to get the bouncy effect that puts the content back to fill the screen), and then rotate the phone my UIWebView's content doesn't fill the screen. I have tried to scroll and noticed that the UIWebView does fill the screen, but the webpage is only taking up part of the UIWebView. The webpage is a smaller version and positioned to the upper left hand corner of the screen. If I double click to zoom, the web page then fills the screen as expected
Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing
http://img25.imageshack.us/i/screenshot20110216at321.png/
I have scalePagesToFit set and I have tried using javascript to zoom (which only zooms the text, not the actual content element in the UIWebView). I have been searching for days and finding nothing that will fix this issue. Can anybody here help me out in some way?
Thanks for reading!

And therein lies the rub. I remember those controls. But they don't appear in my 3.1 update. I can see my choice of screen mode being reset by a software update, but I can't put it back like I had it.
I'll try resetting and see if it brings the screen zoom control back.
Thanks anyway for at least confirming they should still be there.

Customize Welcome Screen for Windows 7

Scenario
Windows 7 displays the Welcome screen which contains a list of available user accounts when the computer is a part of a workgroup or homegroup.
This article describes how to customize Welcome screen for Windows 7, and there are two display style for choice:
Logon screen
Last logon user and others
Summary
Method 1: Logon Screen
The Logon screen requires users to type a logon name rather than selecting an account from a list of available accounts.
Click Start, and type gpedit.msc in the Search to
launch Group Policy Editor;
Expand to the policy entry Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Optionss;
Double-Click the policy Interactive logon: Do not display last user name, click
Enabled, and then click OK;
Click Start, and type cmd in the Search box. Right-click
cmd.exe in the Programs list, and then click
Run as administrator. Type gpupdate /force and press
Enter to refresh the Group Policy.
After logging off or switching user, the customized welcome screen will be as shown below.
Method 2: Last logon user and others
Click Start, and type gpedit.msc in the Search to
launch Group Policy Editor;
Expand to the policy entry Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options. Check the security setting
Interactive logon: Do not display last user name to be disabled.
Click Start, and type regedit in the Search to
launch Registry Editor;
Locate to keyHKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList;
Right-click on ProfileList, then click New>Key, name it
.default.
Restart you PC or refresh Registry Editor by pressing F5.
After logging off or switching user, the customized welcome screen will be as shown below:
Applies to
Windows 7 Professional
Windows 7 Enterprise
Windows 7 Ultimate
Windows 7 SP1 Professional
Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise
Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate
Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

Another customization:
To give your logon screen corporate design or individual style you can follow these steps:
In registry editor navigate to the key "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background".
Create a new DWORD value OEMBackground and assign value 1. (Value 0 resets to the original logon screen.)
In C:\Windows\system32\oobe\info create the folder backgrounds, if it does not exist.
Put your custom picture into this folder under the name backgroundDefault.jpg.
Attention: maximum supported file size is 256 KByte, so shrink them with a tool like Irfanview or Image Resizer Powertoy Clone.
If you want to use different pictures for different screen resolutions, you can do so by naming them backgroundXXXXxYYYY.jpg, i.e. background1920x1200.jpg for the resolution 1920 x 1200. If the resolution does not match any of the given file names, Windows
will fall back to backgroundDefault.jpg.

Screen Lock never works!

My iPod's screen lock has never worked. It tells me to enter the code, then the Screen Lock menu shows with the choice "Turn Screen Lock On >" saying that.
Help appreciated!
Thanks!

Do you have the latest iPod/iTunes software?
iPod Updater
Upgrade to iTunes 6
Upgrade iPod's software
Try formating your iPod via "My Computer":
Go to "My Computer".
Right-click your iPod, click on "Format".
To begin the formatting process, start in “FAT32”, but make sure that “quick format” is not selected.
This process will take a while. But after it is done, be sure to perform a restore on your iPod.
Have you tried uninstalling-reinstalling your iPod's software?
Also, have you tried all the Five R's?

Mac mini with a 24" display or a new iMac 24"?

Hi,
Since Apple releases the new iMac, and at the same time, updated the mini, I'm wandering where my heart should go.
I like the iMac, a little bit more powerful, better video card and not sharing memory with main memory, better BTO (bigger HD, faster HD too, memory, etc) iSight and mike, and so on so on. I have not seen one yet, but I'm still puzzled by the glossy screen. Many article I read said that it is a like or not based on personal taste and environment you put it in. I bought a Sony display 2-3 years ago, which I returned, because of the glossy screen. The images were very clean and very fun too work on, but I could not endure to see my face in the screen continuously. That's what I'm afraid about the new iMac.
So far so good, I read the article on http://www.macworld.com that compare the new mini C2D with an iMac, and while it is less performant it is still a good performer. Only a few points below the iMac. So...
Choosing a mini with a 24" of my choice with the same resolution as the iMac will cost me around the same (maybe a few hundred $ less), but I'll have a smaller/slower HD and not a dedicated video card. I'm wandering if the larger screen resolution will affect the mini performance? Sure, for the HD space, I can use an external HD on firewire. Maybe even boot from it and use the internal and slower disk for backups (like TimeMachine for instance).
I do not play game, or very occasionally, I'm doing iLife/iWork stuff, and Internet surfing. I want the larger screen, as I like to have spaces to play with, but I'm afraid the mini will suffer the higher resolution.
In the long run, the display will stay mine, when I ever decide to change my computer, while buying the iMac mean I'll drop the display and buy a new one. There's pros and cons to all of this...
So I'd like to heard from people having the new (or even older) mini to let me your impression of what you feel about this.
Thanks in advance.

If you are not able to actually examine an iMac carefully before you buy, the risk that the glossy screen may not suit you is a real issue which has to be considered. Imagine that you bought one and found it to have the same problem as the Sony display you tried and had to return?
Ultimately, the actual performance of the system is remarkably unimportant in most situations. The majority of users and uses would not show markedly different operability between a brand new Mac Pro and older G5, even though in terms of specification and benchmarking, the two are like chalk and cheese. The fact is that while the Mac Pro would be greatly faster, OS and software, not to mention the user him or herself, are all quite inefficient.
What that means is that the difference in performance between the iMac and the mini is certainly measurable, and in use would show itself in some ways (the iMac would run smoother for example) but without the ability to sit them side by side, as a user you'd really never know. Bearing in mind that the new minis are way faster than the old G5s which were themselves screamingly fast when they were in production (and still are), it's hard to imagine that a mini would fail to impress.
And since the actual performance of the system isn't all that crucial, what IS vital is to ensure that the system you buy is usable. The devices that matter most in that respect are the bits you, as the user, interface with. Keyboards and mice are reasonably cheap and easy to change, but displays are not when they are fixed and integral to the system.
The downside of the mini is twofold: Firstly that the internal drive is 5400rpm, thus relatively slow. In reality this really doesn't matter all that much, particularly not if you go for 2Gb RAM. It's been criticized for it's speed, but on the other hand, it's the same as the best laptops, users of which don't seem to have problems with the drive speed. It can be got around of course with a fast external drive, used to boot the system.
Secondly, the integrated graphics - not because that's really limiting in any absolute sense (except for gamers) but because as time goes by, more and more of the top-end software is likely to exclude systems with integrated graphics from their minimum specification list. There aren't many like that yet, and it's hardly likely to be a widespread problem, but it does mean you have to consider what software you want to run as part of the equation.
If I were in your situation, I'd not consider spending money until I had looked at the iMac and given myself some time to work with one. The fact it has a glossy screen doesn't mean it WILL have the same problem as the Sony display had, and slight changes in the ergonomics of your desk with the iMac on it rather than the system with the Sony display previously may mean that even if it did prove reflective, it may be far less of a problem (or more of course). I would look to buy the best system with the best specification that fit within my budget (after all, it has to meet your needs for some time, even as they change), thus if the iMac screen was good, that would be the system I'd go for. If there were any sense that the reflective properties of the screen were going to be a problem, I'd dismiss it as an option immediately, and focus on either the lowest cost Mac Pro if one of those were within the budget, and if not, a Mac mini with bumped up RAM and your choice of screen.

Dual monitor problem...

I have had my 13 inch macbook connected to my TV with no problems. Recently I unhooked the laptop to travel and when i connected it back to my TV, it only registers as having dual displays. Before I disconnected it, the TV was the only display shown on the computer, there weren't any choices for screen arrangement like there are now. and when i mirror displays the tv image does not fill out the creen as it did before and is all grainy and unappealing. Can someone please help me get back to how it was...so in short, can I turn off the dual moniters and pick just one display to use. I like keeping my computer closed.

Hi maloneisgood,
In order to use just your TV as your main monitor, first uncheck the Video Clone option from the Monitors panel (under System Preferences). Connect your laptop to your TV as if you wanted to use a dual-monitor setup, then Restart your MacBook, close the lid and keep closed. When Mac OS is fully booted, you can open your lid again.

Shuffled Playlist Question

Instead of having to navigate back and fourth between the Settings menu and the Music menus, is it possible to create a Playlist (or SPL) that contains the majority of my collection but shuffles the music? I've tried a variety of set ups that look like they will work when viewed through iTunes, but when played through the iPod they play everything in order (ie not shuffled).

Well I hear what you are saying, but as you pointed out, these things seem to be beyond the current capability of the iPod. On that same note, this 5th Gen video iPod I have is my very first iPod and while I do love it, I am actually rather shocked at the limited features it has or what I feel are obvious things it should be able to do but doesn't.
Ya, as each new generation of iPod has come along Apple made big steps forward in the big things it could do, like black and white to a color screen then to showing photos then doing video. But the little features (that are just programming) that should have been added to the user interface, seem to have been forgotten.
Here is an example of one that to me would have been an obvious user interface features: Being able to delete a song from the iPod and then (maybe optionally) have that same song removed from the iTunes library when you sync. How many times have you been out and about with your iPod, a song comes one, maybe one of the last tracks of a new album you recently imported and you think to yourself, "well this song is a dud"? I want to delete it from my iPod and my library. So I either have to remember what song it is or make a note somewhere (by the way, I often end up with a post it note on the back of my iPod at work just for that purpose). It would be easier to have a built in delete function on the iPod or at the very least, a "delete me" flag you can turn on so when you get back to your computer, iTunes can show you the ones you tagged to be removed.
Another feature I would like to see for the color iPods is the ability to change screen and font color. Since there is no way to actually dim the LCD screen (another missing feature) at night, in a dark car, etc. that screen can be really overly bright. So how about being able to change the screen color from white to a less bright color like dark blue. Or how about a night mode where the screen is black and the font is white? Or how about a night vision mode with a red screen so you don't ruin your night vision? Obviously if the iPod can show video, having screen and font colors changeable should be super easy.
Then there are the weird things. For example, I play a few songs on the iPod. I then go and look in the Recently Played list. The songs are there but it seems to be a sort of random order. The songs I just played are not at the top like in iTunes, but are towards the bottom, and not in the order I played them. I haven't bothered to figure out the order they are in but it is probably something that makes little sense like sort by date, then by artist name, but the list only shows song titles, so it looks jumbled. Weird.
So that is my long winded way to say, your idea of a changing play list with a dynamic shuffle sounds great, but considering I can not even remove a song from the iPod without a computer, must be blinded by the light if I touch the controls of my iPod while in a dark car, and my choices of screen and font colors are about the same as Henry Ford offered on his cars, don't hold your breath!

Oracle Policy Automation 10.2.0

Oracle Policy Automation 10.2.0 is now available via Oracle E-Delivery (http://edelivery.oracle.com/)
This release includes updated media packs for Oracle Policy Modeling and the Oracle Policy Automation runtime for both Java and Microsoft .NET Framework. The updated media pack for Oracle Policy Automation Connector for Siebel 10.2.0 will be available at a later date.
This release includes:
* Translation Support - Excel spreadsheets that contain all the translatable parts of a rulebase, that are updated with the new strings to be translated when you modify attributes, rules or screens.
* Entity Containment - New hierarchical data model that simplifies data collection, debugging, and rule authoring when using relationships.
* Pluggable Determinations Server - New extensibility model for Determinations server that allows you to do pre- or post-processing of incoming data, or do as needed retrieval of data from an external data source, for example.
* Interview Web Service - Create fully customized stateful interview experiences in your GUI technology of choice
* Interview Screen Preview - Preview interview screens without having to go through the entire interview
* Flexible Interviews - Entity-level goals on the summary screen, more control over labels used for entity collection, and more
* "Not Currently Known" operator allows a rule to work out if a question has been asked.
* Additional string functions - as requested by users
* Entity Equality - ability to write rules that compare one entity instance with all the other instances in a collection
* Revised look and feel for Word/Excel 2007 (also applies to Word/Excel 2010)
* New Parsers and Improved Right-to-Left support: Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish, German, Finnish, Chinese (Traditional)
* Native Subversion Support: Check files in and out directly from an Apache Subversion repository without a MSSCCAPI connector, and see differences using Word's track changes feature
* Custom Function Enhancements: Support for temporal values and improved natural language syntax.
* Support for self-referential rules, e.g. the person's tax payable = the person's tax payable for the current tax year + for (the prior tax year, the person's tax payable)
* Greater Platform Support: Windows 7 x64, Microsoft Office 2010, .NET Framework 4.0, Oracle VM, Microsoft Visual Studio Team Server 2010
* Enhanced Upgrade wizard: The entity containment and interview screen changes require all existing rulebase projects to be upgraded to the new data model structure.
Please read the release notes, installation guide and security guide included in each media pack for more details.
The release build number is 10.2.0.110.0

1. In the current version, OPM doesn't directly deploy to anything other than local TomCat. You'll need to manually refresh your WebLogic environment with the latest rulebase.
2. I'm not aware of an ADF sample. I assume your goal is to host Web Determinations interviews in an ADF UI?
3. You should use OPA instead of OBR if you need any of the following:
a) Rules in natural language in any of the supported OPA languages (English, Chinese, French, Spanish, Portuguese, etc....)
b) Rules in Word/Excel document format that can be easily shared with business users
c) Interactive interviews for guided decision making, where questions can be automatically generated from rules, and screens are shown only as needed to make progress towards an answer
d) Detailed decision reports of which rules and data were used to reach a decision
e) Productized integration with Siebel or SAP
f) Rich test case development and regression testing capabilities
More generally OPA is very good at determinations. I.e. reaching the one right decision given a set of input data. It is not a good fit for optimization problems where the goal is to seek the best outcome given a series of constraints. It is also good at taking a large set of law/policy documents are managing them as interconnected rules. It is possible to efficiently manage thousands of pages of material as an OPM project.
For ADF development, anywhere you have a process that involves a complex decision step, or a calculation that depends on complicated rules that may change frequently or need good business visibility, OPA is a good choice.

Can the iphone be used with fake nails? If the LG chocolate can do it, I am sure that apple can

I can't believe that Apple can't offer a screen that can be used with fake nails. I have a cheap LG Chocolate and I can type on the keyboard with my fake nails. Couldn't Apple offer a choice of screens for those of us that have fake nails?
