Confused about the video out

If the video card is the same as the one in the Macbook Pro, and the VRAM is hte same (I have 256 in each), why did the macbook pro have dual link to drive a 30" monitor and the imac does not? that seems "silly" to me.

Tim is right, apple likes to differentiate the consumer level computers from the pro level. For the longest time, all the consumer level computers could only do video mirror, not extended desktop. I think with the concept of media center, apple changed that so that the computers could be used as a media center computer, hence the extended desktop support.

  • How do you get the video out to TV to work on the iPhone 3GS

    I cannot get the video out to TV to work on my iPhone 3GS with iOS 5.1.1.
    I am using the $40.00 apple composite AV cables and nothing seems to work. With the cables connected to tv input nothing shows up in general settings for video out. Or anywhere else for that matter. I have tried many different TV's, sometimes I get audio but never never ever video . Does anyone else have this problem or better yet the answer?

    Thanks for responding to my question about not being able to get the video out to work on my iphone 3GS. In answer to your question i couldnt get any video to work at all. But, i do know what was wrong now. The whole problem was the brand new $40.00 set of apple composite AV cables i just bought was no good. This afternoon i took a trip to the nearest apple retail outlet (30 miles away) with phone and cables in hand. And after doing a little head scratching of their own they decided to try another set of cables, and low and behold the darn thing worked like a charm.I was very impressed by the service at the apple store even though i didnt buy either product from them. I wonder if there is a bad batch of cables floating around out there because it looks like other people out there are having the same problem, which is why i didnt really suspect the cables. Thanks again for responding.   Micdude001

  • Confused about the 'cpu fsb clock frequency' setting, etc., in cell in bios

    just got a new k8n neo2-f nforce3 board with an a64 3500+ venice chip.  It is properly recognized in the bios and windows as an a64 3500+ at 2.2ghz, but I'm confused about the cell menu settings in the bios. I see a 'cpu fsb clock frequency' which was automatically set at 200mhz, but the fsb runs at 1Ghz (1000mhz), so what is the 'fsb clock frequency' if not equal to the cpu fsb?  Is 200 the correct setting for that?  Should I need to change any of the other settings in here?  I wonder, because my 3dmark03 score only went up 200 points from the same system with a AthlonXP 2500+ chip and kt4avl mobo, which seems like a low increase to me.....

    I would set that to Manual in BIOS, so that you can incremently increase the CPU speed without causing a sudden crash. Each system is different and operates within the specs of not only the CPU, but system memory and PCI-E add-ins as well. Your video card is the primary driver behgind your 3DMark scores...but you haven't listed that?!

  • Confused about the default schema

    Hi,
    I am a little bit confused about the schema concept.
    I want to create a new schema called APP and then create several users and roles based on the schema APP. The default schema for the users should be APP achema.
    How can I make the schema APP the default schema for the new users that I am creating?
    I feel that there are some schema design concepts that I have to learn. Is there any resource on the internet that I can read and learn more about oracle schema design best practices?
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Ali

    A schema holds object definitions, and in the case of table & index objects the schema also holds the data.
    A user owns the schema.
    Therefore the user 'owns the definitions (including any functions, procedures, sequences, tabels, etc.)
    Other users may be granted access to some, or all, of the objects in a schema. This is done through the 'GRANT ...' command. For example, consider the following steps:
    1) create user app_owner
    2) create table object test owned by the app_owwner
    3) create user app_user
    4) grant select, update, insert and delete on app_owner's test table to app_user
    5) add synonyms to avoid needing to qualify the table's schema name.
    done as follows:
    oracle@fuzzy:~> sqlplus system
    SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Mon Apr 3 20:07:32 2006
    Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle.  All rights reserved.
    Enter password:
    Connected to:
    Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
    Create the app owner userid. Note there is no need to ever log in to that user, even to create tables.
    SQL> create user app_owner
      2  identified by xyz
      3  account lock
      4  quota unlimited on users
      5  default tablespace users
      6  temporary tablespace temp;
    User created.
    Creating objects in a schema can be done by providing the schema name, or by switching schema in newer versions of Oracle
    SQL> create table app_owner.test ( t number );
    Table created.
    Create a userid that will access the table. Set that userid up to access the database and (for future) give it the capability to create it's own synonyms
    SQL> create user app_user
      2  identified by xyz
      3  temporary tablespace temp;
    User created.
    SQL> grant create session to app_user;
    Grant succeeded.
    SQL> grant create synonym to app_user;
    Grant succeeded.
    Now give the user access to the objects
    SQL> grant select, update, insert, delete on app_owner.test to app_user;
    Grant succeeded.
    Let's test it out. Insert by qualifying the schema name on the object, then create a synonym to avoid using schema, and try it all using the synonym
    SQL> connect app_user/xyz
    Connected.
    SQL> insert into app_owner.test values (4);
    1 row created.
    SQL> create synonym test for app_owner.test;
    Synonym created.
    SQL> insert into test values (3);
    1 row created.
    SQL> select * from test;
             T
             4
             3
    SQL>  Note that some people want to use PUBLIC grants and PUBLIC synonyms. This is a real bad idea if you want to ensure long term security of the data and want to host several different applications in the same Oracle instance.
    This, and a whole lot more, is in the 'Concepts' manual for your version of the database at http://docs.oracle.com

  • I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program

    HI All
    I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
    I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
    for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

    Hi abdelhady,
    I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
    There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
    Thank you,

  • I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.

    Like the title says...
    I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists 'iPhoto Library' as GRAY, and will not let me select it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.
    I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut.  I have had no luck.
    I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
    I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible.  I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
    However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
    Thank You for the Help

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

  • The video out is NOT WORKING under 10.5.2

    *APPLE please read this;*
    The video out on the MacBook Pro is NOT WORKING under 10.5.2, or precisely is working with a possibility of 10%! Monitors doesn't find signal in, or when they find it, the image is unstable with green shadows.
    _I tried 28 external monitor in a store and only ONE was working normally!_ I tried with all the cables combinations (DVI->DVI or DVI->ANALOG, with several different brand cables).
    Before the 10.5 update, I didn't have any problem with external Monitor.
    The point is that I have installed in the same computer (MAC BOOK PRO) also WINDOWS VISTA, and all the monitors that are not working with MAC OS are working perfectly under VISTA system.
    I made a long research online and I found out that thousands of users have the same problem, but no one receive an answer from APPLE from several months!
    This is not the only problem that I have under MAC OS 10.5, but them, are other topics.
    _Please at least resolve this MAJOR problem that I and thousands of other users have with video out._
    Thank you.

    Video out under 10.5.2 works fine for me and for a colleague of mine with a more recent MacBook Pro. I'd wager it's a problem with your Leopard install, not a universal one.
    Also, FYI, Apple doesn't read these forums; they're just for user-to-user help. If you want to leave MacBook Pro feedback for Apple, do so here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html
    But again, I do not believe yours is a universal issue. We'll be happy to help troubleshoot though. What do you mean the image is "unstable"? Could you take a digital photograph of the external monitor's screen and upload it somewhere?

  • The Video Out Problem...Fixed?

    I know Wikipedia can be edited by virtually anyone with membership and an opinion, but I had to know.
    It said that an itunes update 1.0.2 fixed the video out problem...does that mean that videos can now be connected to a TV and play on the TV? They fixed that?
    I am still ever in the market for the nano, just waiting until the right ammount of money to purchase one. Thanks

    I think it is currently working according to this knowledgebase article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300233
    That is, for the new Nano, you can use the older iPod Universal Dock (ie the normal one that has been available for a couple of years) together with an iPod composite video cable or an SVideo cable (ie all currently-available stuff you may have already bought for a previous-series video iPod), OR you can use the brand new "Apple Universal Dock" with the brand new Apple Composite AV Cable or with the (new) Apple Component AV Cable, OR you can use one of those brand new Apple AV Cables directly with the Nano (without the new Apple Universal Dock).
    What you cannot do is connect an old video cable or accessory, which was expecting to get composite video from the RCA/audio jack on the Nano, because it looks like (on the new Nano and the Classic) the audio out jack is now just for audio out and video is only available via the dock connector on the iPod.

  • I'm confused about the apple ID transition from my aol screen name. Does it continue to use my aol email as my apple ID, converting it somehow or do I need to provide a new email address or just create a new username for the apple ID?

    I'm confused about the transition to an apple ID that doesn't use my aol email to sign in. The instructions are vague and ambiguous. Any help would be appreciated.

    OK, so if your current Apple ID using your AOL Username (like johndoe), then you need to log onto Manage your Apple ID and EDIT that AOL Username to a valid email address: Apple - My Apple ID
    If you have an AOL email address (like [email protected]), and you are not using that as another Apple ID, you can change the AOL Username Apple ID to that. Otherwise, you can change it to any valid email address (which you will have to verify when you change to it).
    Hope that clears it up. Post back if it doesn't!

  • Confuse about the document

    Hi,all . From the document ,i had confused about the following .
    Automatic Undo Management in Oracle RAC
    url >> http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/rac.102/b28759/adminrac.htm#CHDGAIFJ
    Oracle automatically manages undo segments within a specific undo tablespace that is assigned to an instance. Only the instance assigned to the undo tablespace can modify the contents of that tablespace. However, each instance can read the undo data blocks created by any instance. Also, when performing transaction recovery, any instance can update any undo tablespace, as long as that undo tablespace is not currently being used by another instance for undo generation or transaction recovery
    what's the meaning of above that is bold ?

    Say you're running a 2-node RAC and node 2 dies. The services which were running on node 2 now get re-located to node 1. It is then possible that node 1 will perform transaction rollback/recovery and, when it does so, it will need to be able to read from node 2's undo tablespace (and maybe update the undo segment headers in node 2's undo tablespace, too).

  • Confused about the battery...

    Hello everyone,
    I'm from Pakistan and I just switched to Mac almost 2-3 weeks ago. Since, they have proper apple authorized dealers here so I finally decided to get one for myself. I had some confusion about the battery and my system and now I'm getting very much concerned and worried as a matter of fact.
    I installed coconut battery (as few people suggested me) to check my battery status. First of all, it shows the age of my Mac as 5 months, which is pretty surprising since I got a brand new one and even the condition is of a brand new one so I have no clue why did it say that.
    Secondly, I would like to tell the condition of my battery:
    Current Battery Charge: 3591 mAh (I'm using on battery power right now)
    Maximum Battery charge: 4068 mAh
    88%
    Current Battery Capacity: 4068 mAh
    Original Battery Capacity: 4100 mAh
    99%
    Additional info:
    Battery-Loadcycles : 12
    Age of your Mac: 5 months
    Charger connected: No
    Battery is charging: No
    I am just concerned that my battery current capacity decreased to 99% after just 12 load cycles. Why is that? Some people tell that they have a 100% even after using it for a long time and other than that does anyone have any idea why is the age being shown as 5 months when I have only used it for 2 weeks.
    I'm really confused.
    Another suggestion that I want is that in Pakistan, we are having major electricity load shedding so I can't keep it on AC power most of the time so if my computer is shut-down and being charged. If the electricity goes and when it comes back and it starts charging to the point from where it left, will that waste the load-cycle or will it continue to charge it from there without wasting cycle? Does that affect the battery life? (Assuming that the computer is shut-down while being charged)
    Last thing, should I use it mostly on AC power or is it better to charge it and then drain the battery and then charge it and then use. Till how much percent should I keep using on the battery power and then connect the Magsafe connector?
    Please help people
    I'd highly appreciate if you could answer my questions.
    Thank you.

    I was told that it is best to keep it plugged in and connected to the charger when you can, but if you are not able to do that then just use battery power. I just know you don't want too many cycles, which means you don't want to drain the battery completely then fully recharge it. You should calibrate the battery, which is pretty much just draining battery then recharging it, every couple of months if you keep it plugged into the charger and don't use just the battery often.

  • Confused about the meaning of  Time Quota Types

    I am learning SAP-HCM on IDES 6.0. I am confused about the meaning of Time Quota Type. I have gone thru the SAP documentation, but still not clear about it. Please help me with a few examples. How is it different from Absence Type?

    Hi Gopal ,
    Absences are very generic ones that we create which needs to be reflected in IT2001 and dedcution can happen.
    Absence Quotas are the limited entitlement that is fixed say ur eligible for 10 days sick leave so here this is a Quota for each year  and so becomes a Quota say Sick leave Quota =10 and will be seen in IT2006.
    Now an absence needs to be linked to this Quota for dedcution.
    An absence can be or may not be linked to a Quota.This depends on business Requirement.
    Let me know if u have further Questions.
    Thanks

  • So confused about the size.... how exactly should i set them?

    i've written codes like:
    JFrame fr = new JFrame ("FR");
    JTabbedPane tp = new JTabbedPane();
    JPanel pa = new JPanel();
    JTextArea ta = new JTextArea;
    fr.add(tp.add(pa.add(ta)));
    Questions:
    1. How do I set the SIZE (dimension) of the GUI (the whole thing)
    2. How do I set the size of the TextArea
    I was thinking:
    setSize = set the default size of a panel/compent
    setMaximumSize = set the maxium area of that panel/compent (that'll allow you to drag to )
    setMinimumSzie = set the smallest window/pan/comp that you can drag to
    i tried fr.setSize or whatever... nothing just work.....!!
    Sorry... im really a beginner and i don't know where can I have a good read about all these Java.awt objects... JPanel/Frame/tabbedPanel/TextArea/button/watever.... sooo many and so easy to be confused....
    sorry i about the poor english... hope someone can help me out....
    thanks!

    Some helpful resources in the tutorial:
    Trail: Creating a GUI with JFC/Swing
    1 - Lesson: Using Swing Components
    a) - A Visual Index to the Swing Components
    b) - Using Top-Level Containers
    2 - Lesson: Laying Out Components Within a Container
    For the JFrame or other top-level container we use the "setSize" method.
    For JTextArea the api recommends we set the rows and columns to provide size information for the parent layout manager. For example - "new JTextArea(6, 18)"
    Some layout managers, such as FlowLayout and GridBagLayout will use the preferredSize for sizing components so you can use the "setPreferredSize" method (in Swing and in j2se 1.5+ AWT).

  • Confused about the instructions for installing MySQL on my OS X client

    I installed MySQL for OS X as recommended here:
    http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/osdb.html
    it looks like I managed to created a test database in the mysql directory, but now can't access it.
    Basically, I'm confused about what to do after installing the MySQL server about setting permissions, getting databases to be where I want them to be, etc.
    I tried download phpMyAdmin, since I am used to using that via cPanel on my ISP, but don't know how to use it on my Mac. Do I need to start up Apache to do that? And if I do that, won't it interfere with the mongrel server that I'm trying to use in the separate Ruby on Rails instructions?
    I guess I could probably do all my development online via my ISP, which supports Ruby on Rails and where it is easy to set up MySQL databases, but if I could just figure out how to use MySQL on my Mac it would be fun to try to do this development offline.
    Any hints?
    Thanks,
    doug

    Have you done anything past those instructions? like creating MySQL user accounts, granting permissions, etc?
    There's a whole lot more to running MySQL that just installing it (and I'm not sure why Apple suggest building from scratch when MySQL offer binary distributions which do all the hard work for you.
    Once installed you should follow the MySQL Post Install Instructions for guidance on setting up accounts and configuring MySQL.
    As for the PHPMyAdmin question, yes, you'll need Apache running. Whether that will conflict with any other web services you're running depends on how they're configured. I've never heard of mongrel to be able to advise further there.
