Choosing one of two monitors

I have two monitors and have been having Firefox open on one and my mail open on the other. Today, with no changes on my part, Firefox opens on the second screen and I have tried changing all options and preferences in both Firefox and my own system preferences, but it will not go back to where it was. I am very, very busy and do not have the time to wade through your forum. I would appreciate a return eMail to [email protected]
thanks, B J

If Firefox is maximized then make the window smaller and drag that window over to the correct monitor and close Firefox to save that setting.<br />
After restarting you can maximize again.

Difficulty with pdf form trying to "choose" one of two paragraphs of text

I am creating a PDF form and trying to find a way to choose one of two groups of text that are about paragraph long. and only having the the one I choose be visible on my pdf. I tried using a dropdown list, but it would not accmodate the amount of text I needed

OK, the following is for a single check box and a single field. If the check box is checked the multiline text field will display one block of text, and if unchecked, it will display the other.
I'm goping to assume the text field is named "Text1". The Mouse Up JavaScript of the check box could then be:
// Get a reference to the text field
var f = getField("Text1");
// Set the value of the text field depending
// on the state of this check box
if (event.target.value === "Off") {
f.value = "Paragraph 1 goes here. You can use \rto indicate a carriage return.";
} else {
f.value = "Paragraph 2 goes here. Add as much text as you like...";
Change "Text1" in the getField statement to match the name of your multiline text field.

Choosing one of two optical disk drives?

Dear All,
I am working with a new Mac Pro, Tiger 10.4.10. I have two optical disk drives. Drive number one is not burning properly and I want to choose drive number two to burn a data disk. How can I choose which drive I want to use through disk utility? iDVD or DVDStudio Pro let me choose the burning drive, but I can't seem to find this option when burning through disk utility. Any help out there?
Thanks.
Barbara Smits

Dear All,
Thanks for your replies.
No, disk utility does not recognize either drive unless the drive has a disk in it, but I can't get drive #2 to open unless I open it with a paper clip, etc., etc. Disk Utility only allows me to burn from a disk image, not from a burn folder. Burning through Finder does not give me a drive selection option either, only a burn speed and a nameselection. There must be some way to choose the drive, but nothing seems to come up unless there is a disk already in the drive, and I can't get drive #2 to open.
Any more help out there????????
Thanks

[Solved] Gnome: Locking the screen only locks one of two monitors

Hey guys,
I'm using Arch for quite a while and I am really happy with it. Today I faced a problem, which no one else seems to have. At least, I wasn't able to find any infos on the net:
When locking the screen, gnome only locks my primary monitor. I cannot only see the windows on my secondary screen, but also use them with the mouse (but not with the keyboard).
Does anyone have an idea, how to solve this or how to find out, what could cause the problem?
I'm using the current versions of Gnome and the nvidia drivers and only one graphics card with one dvi and one hdmi port.
I happily provide more infos, if needed.
Thanks for any tips!

Hi again,
there are to bug-reports (one at Arch's package, one upstream) for this issue, but no solution patch so far:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30547?project=1&cat[0]=2&string=gnome-screensaver
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679441
Since this was introduced with the current version of gnome-screensaver and since this is a crucial feature (at least for me at work) I did the following to get it working again, until there is fix:
Download and install the previous version of gnome-screensaver (here: x86_64):
wget "http://schlunix.org/archlinux/extra/os/x86_64/gnome-screensaver-3.4.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz"
pacman -U gnome-screensaver-3.4.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Prevent pacman from upgrading gnome-screensaver, with adding the following to /etc/pacman.conf:
IgnorePkg = gnome-screensaver
When there is a fix, just remove "gnome-screensaver" from "IgnorePkg" and update your system as usual.

SSIS 2008 or 2012 Data Task: How to conditionally choose one of two flatfile columns on a per-row basis

I searched the textbooks and searchable forum posts for something related to my question, but could not find it. I'm hoping when after I describe my question that it might sound familiar to someone.
First, the context: another department using a black-box database product stopped use of one column and used a different column instead. However, the data in the flat-file export that I need to use for my own database must contain the entire
table. If it was a clean binary switch, that would be great: I could split the rows into two groups based on date and deal with it that way. Instead, there was a period of overlap while users slowly got the hang of the practice. This means that I have
two columns where a row value is either in one column
or the other.
Now, the question: I currently use SSIS to import this flatfile into an SQL Server table and use a T-SQL script in an SQL Agent Job to handle the problem.
However, I was hoping I could do this on the SSIS side while importing the data so that it appears into the SQL Server destination table nice and clean.
This is a HIGHLY SIMPLIFIED view of my system, using dummy data and dummy names. The T-SQL script describes in essence my source and destination table and what I would like to do on the SSIS side. If a screenshot of my incomplete data tab will help, I can
do it, but at this point I'm providing what I hope presents the background without presenting distractions.
Thank you for any hints or ideas.

go
if OBJECT_ID('dbo.Relation_A','U') is not null

create table dbo.Relation_A (
Rel_A_ID int primary key,

Rel_B_Value varchar(20) not null
insert into dbo.Relation_A values (1,'Unknown','Measured'),(2,'Measured','N/A'),(3,'Unknown','Measured'),
(4,'Measured','Unknown'),(5,'N/A','Measured'),(6,'Unknown','Measured');
if OBJECT_ID('dbo.Relation_D','U') is not null

then a.Rel_B_Value
else a.Rel_A_Value
end as Rel_D_Value
from dbo.Relation_A a;
go

You could have posted question in new thread.
Anyway, you can achieve it by using below tasks shown in attached picture.
- Merge Join will join by using first ID column
- Derived Column will have below expressions
[Column 1] == "" || ISNULL([Column 1]) ? [AnotherColumn 1] : [Column 1]
[Column 2] == "" || ISNULL([Column 2]) ? [AnotherColumn 1] : [Column 2]

Choosing one document in Payment wizard

Hi
Version: SBO 2004C PL69
Description of requirements: We need to choose one (from 30) document in Payment wizard on step 6.
Business needs: In Payment wizard on the step 6 we get all the documents for paying marked, so if we want to choose one or two of them we have to unmark 30-40 others by clicking on the flag. So its taking a lot of time
Examples: See above
Current Workaround: Clicking on them for unmarking
Proposed solution: Add a function and a button «Unmark all on the step 6.

Hello,
I checked the issue, however, I did not reproduce it even on 2004C PL69.
You can unmark all selections on line by clicking on label field of the checkbox column.

Two monitors, one iMac, mirroring problem

Here is the background: I want to stay healthy. All this sitting is killing me (and us).
So I attached a 23 inch Apple Cinema HD Display to my 16 GB memory (max) 27 inch iMac Intel Core i5 using a little adaptor. I have one screen up on a tall desk (so I can stand) and one on a lower desk (so I can sit) - this makes no difference to the problem here but, I want to give you a reason why I am asking a question. I use a wired Apple keyboard with the iMac and wireless with the Cinema HD. It all works great. Except for one problem.
I need to mirror the two (not mirroring would not make sense or work as it is essentially just two monitors in different user spots plus 2-3 feet apart on different levels + the menus and windows only stay on one screen for non mirroring - a pain). I only need one screen at a time.
When I mirror, the Cinema HD looks fine but the iMac shrinks down in size. When I choose the 2560 x 1440 iMac size, the iMac just goes back to the smaller 1920 x 1200 and says “Usable resolution 1920 x 1200”.
What is going on and, is there a fix I can employ to regain the lost screen real estate on the iMac screen? The 1920 x 1200 does not look as good on the iMac and the dock icons shrink to be unusable too.

You have a few options which are detailed here:

How to 'lock' my cursor to one of my two monitors?

Hello all, thanks for reading my question!
My 'problem' is the following: I recently started using a second monitor on my iMac [OsX Yosemite - 10.10.2 / i5 - 2,7GHz / 8GB 1600MHz DD3]. The additional monitor is a Samsung 40" Television screen that I have been using with my old Windows PC. My input-devices are the standard wireless keyboard and magic-mouse, and in addition to that I am using a Wacom Graphire4 with Bamboo-drivers since it's not compatible with the latest version of OsX. The only software I installed to streamline this setup is called 'CatchMouse', which I use to center my cursor on either one of my monitors.
What I would like to be able to do is lock my cursor to either one of my screens, and use my shortcuts to switch between them, without the possibility of my cursor jumping to the next screen as soon as I get too close to the edge of my screen. I have tried to change the alignment of the two screens in the preferences-menu, but that still didn't prevent my cursor from 'jumping' from one screen to the other. Is there a workaround for this, or perhaps additional software?
The reason I would like to do this is my Wacom, I use it in absolute positioning (meaning that the top-left on my input-device is the top-left on my screen) and the second screen 'sorta' ruins that experience for me..... There's always a chance I am overlooking a very basic setting, apologies in advanced if this turns out to be the easiest thing to do on a Mac besides hitting the Power-button.... Perhaps some of you have the same 'problem' and know a workaround for it, I will of course continue my quest for a solution on the rest of the interwebs and post it here if/when I do find it, but any extra help from here will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for now!

You need to contact Adobe support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations. I don't believe they work weekends though.

I cant get two monitors to work on one pc.

Does anyone know why i cant get two monitors working on one pc?
I have a HP P6 2000 UKM computer, running windows 7 and it has a DVI D socket as well as the standard VGA (which i am using for my primary monitor) I have got the right DVI to VGA adaptor and have followed various instructions to set up duel disply but every tutorial i have seen says use the multiple display option, but the option dropdown box is not there!
Iv'e tried two different monitors but he same problem. If my graphics card does not suport 2 monitors then why is there a DVI D socket?
Have never had this problem in the past!
Please help.

Hi,
Please post the exact HP product number for your PC.
VGA is analog and DVI-D is digital. If you have two monitors then one of them needs to support a digital video signal if you want to use two monitors

How can one use Mission Control with two monitors? Please bring Spaces back

How can one use Mission Control with two monitors. With Spaces I could treat each space as a single desktop.
SyBB

I use two monitors at work and have no issue. I have my mail set to use Desktop 1 and iTunes set to the second monitor of Desktop 1. I have browsers set to Desktop 2 and Fusion and RDC set to Desktop 3.
Two things that may help you. In System Preferences > Mission Control, disable the setting "Automatically rearrange spaces...". This screwed with assigning applications to certain spaces. And the other thing is don't use full screen on apps that support it. This just makes your second monitor superfluous.

If Firefox 5 is not compatible with Avast... what am I supossed to do? Choose one of the two or what?

With Firefox 5 freshly installed I learn it's not compatible with Avast! What do I do now? Do I choose '''''one of the two''''' or what?

Hi Amarillo,
There are a few different toolbars and plugins which are not yet compatible with Firefox 5 including Google, avast and AVG ([http://www.canadiancontent.net/commtr/firefox-rather-soon-released_1093.html source]). I bet it's going to take a day or two for updates to be released.

When using printer Epson R1900 with Aperture 3 and if I mistakenly choose the wrong paper such as, epson's luster instead of glossy, does that change the exposure? Like make it too dark one or two stops!

Hi,
If you choose the incorrect settings for printing, yes - the print quality will be affected.
Different papers absorb the ink differently, so you can end up with prints that are too light, too dark, or have a colour cast if you make incorrect choices in your Aperture or printer settings.

One 30" Apple Monitor shared between two Macs with a switcher Possible ?

I have a G5 Dual processor and a new Pro mac. I was thinking of having two 30'' monitors with the new pro but would love to know if its possible to share one of these monitors with the old G5 via some sort of switch box ? - The G5 will be set up as a node for Logic and at odd times as a stand a lone machine so It would be good to have the option of using one of the two monitors . ( I don't have desk space for a third monitor ) -- what's the story ?

Yes. Look for a dual-link DVI switch or KVM, such as
