Connecting HP Notebooks to External Devices even when closed
Dear HP Community,
Even if you are a notebook user, once in a while, when working in the office, you would love to hook-up your notebook computer to a bigger LCD Monitor, plug-in either a regular full-size USB keyboard and mouse, or a wireless keyboard and mouse.
I am doing it now, but the akward part is that my notebook has to be open and turned-on to be able to do this, is there any development in HP that would let the user hook up his/her HP notebook to an LCD monitor and keyboard and mouse, and with a push of a botton on the notebook (even when the lcd-lid is closed) can turn the notebook into a "small footprint" desktop unit...
This question was solved.
View Solution.
Dont know about at the push of a button, however you could configure (in power saving options under control panel) your machine so if the lid is shut, it only turns the laptop monitor off, as opposed to sleep mode/hibernate.
Would be the way id tackle it anyway mate.

I shoot on a canon 5d mk11 and I record my audio on an external device yet when I open up my footage in final cut pro x I can't find my external audio files only the ones attached to the clip which are off the camera mic
What device?
What format?
How are you importing it?
Can you find the external audio with Finder?
Where is your destination file when you import it?

iPhone 4S continues to search for bluetooth devices even though it is connected to one.
Can this be stopped to save battery?Why do you believe this is true? If you're looking at the bluetooth settings page, simply opening that page in settings initiates the search. It stops when you close it.

External hard drive not showing up in devices, even after troubleshooting and checked in preferences.
OK I solved my own problem. My iPhone was plugged into the other USB port in addition to the external hard drive. I took out the iPhone USB and switched the external hard drive USB to the other USB port. The drive showed up in my devices!

How to see iPod in DEVICES even when disconnected
Hello everyone,
I previously was running (v6?) of iTunes, but today upgraded it to v7 because I was unable to listen to iTune purchased music on the iPod. Thankfully that and an upgrade to the iPod shuffle s/w to 1.1.5 has cured that problem.
However whereas previously even when they were disconnected, I was able to see our 2 iPods in the DEVICES section of iTunes, now they disappear altogether until they are connected via the USB cable. I can't remember how I got iTunes to continue in showing the iPods when disconnected, presumably it was in one of the menu options somewhere, but after going into each of the menus on v7 I cannot find what I need to do. I've tried searching the apple web-sites, these forums, google etc, but cannot find anything anywhere on how to do this in v7.
Hopefully someone will be able to answer my question.
Thanks
Ian S.Why in the world did Apple remove a useful feature from itunes? Probably because it was so poorly implemented in itunes 6 that no mortal windows user could figure out how to turn it on or off. I'm still praying that the competition will develop a player as good as the ipod so that I won't have to be a slave to this infuriating software.
Sorry. I just need to rant. I'm tired of continually being forced by Apple to rethink how I organize my data. How nice it would be if there was really a windows version of itunes that allowed windows users to retain their boring but trusted ways. -
Firefox constantly runs in the background even when closed
Hi
I have Firefox 3.6.8 running on Windows Vista.
I have found that Firefox constantly runs in the background even when i have just booted up the computer or when i have closed it.
Firefox seems to constantly run with 5000-20000 K bytes in the memory.
When i have Firefox running to look at webpages, there are two processes running. When i close Firefox there is one process running. If i end the process using the task manager, it only takes seconds before it starts to run again.
I know this isnt normal because i keep a good eye on the processes running on my computer. So unless the latest version of Firefox requires this process running all the time, it looks like i have a probably.
Ive scanned my computer with zonealarm, avast, superantispyware and spybot to scan my computer for viruses. One of the pieces of software found a virus and it deleted it successfully.
Im not too sure if this is a virus that is hiding in my system or whether its part of the latest version of Firefox.
Firefox isnt showing the usual signs of a virus. As in it doesnt try to redirect me to random websites and it doesnt try to get me to download something.
I hope someone can help me please.
RobAfter talking to someone very helpful on the live chat support.
It appears like i have a virus that is very good at hiding from detection from anti-virus/spyware software.
No idea what intentions the virus has as its not showing any sort of virus like behaviour.
I called the old installation a different name and closed the Firefox process. A few seconds later, instead of a Firefox process starting again a different executable started. -
I have an Apple iphone 4. It will import my photos but when I am in Windows Media Centre and want to sync music it asks me to Connect a Device when my phone is already connected. I have been able to do this in the past but for some reason this fault has just begun Do you know the reason for this?
Are you certain that it is locked to Orange?
Regardless, Apple does not lock devices, carriers do.
If the carrier refuses to unlock the device there is nothing that can be done. -

i pod 3 rd generation
was left in the car for like 4 hrs, seems that the temperature was high
ever since it stopped working unless connected to power source wall mounted
when connected to PC it just shows the apple logo on the display
itunes can not read the ipod of course
is it something i can fix by myself and howTry:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Tcp listen accepts multiple simultaneous connections even when closed
LV 6.0.2, win 2k
I am trying to set up a server that will recieve data from multiple clients. If I set up a TCP listen vi on the server, then I have found that any (or the same) client can open multiple connections on this port and send data to it even though the server has only called the TCP listen VI once and only has a reference for the first connection. The subsequent connections seem to be accumlating in the port buffer and the data can in fact be retrieved with subsequent calls to TCP listen on that port regardless of whether the client has closed the connection long ago and forgotten about the transaction.
This could perhaps be considered either a feature or a bug. For me it is undesirabl
e. I would prefer that attempted connections to the server were rejected if the server is not actually actively listening on the port. Otherwise clients can easily flood the port.
Is there some way to control this behaviour, or perhaps a completely different approach? or is there some way to control the port settings such as buffer size or max number of connections allowed, and a way to clear the buffer without processing all the connections?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.Thanks for the comments.
I don't seem to get the same behaviour you describe.
When you say 'if the server closes the connection after reading the first request, then it will not process the rest of the requests waiting in the queue'. I find that after the server closes the connection (with TCP close connection) then there can still be a huge backlog of connections to the same port (requests) which are still waiting to be processed. Another call to TCP listen retrieves one of the old ones, it doesn't wait around for a legitimately new request from a client.
Where you say 'When you leave the connection open on the server side, you can receive multiple commands this way, but it also blocks other clients from connecting until the curre
nt client disconnects'. This is in fact my main difficulty. Even with a connection held open other clients (or the same client) CAN make other connections and send data through that connection. This then backs up if the server is not processing them faster than recieving them.
I've attached vi's which should demonstrate the issue.
I couldn't check your vi's. I'm missing the EOC error.vi and one other I think. Ultimately I hope to do something similar with multiple open connections, but still need the server to be able to refuse connections if it wants to. Something I don't seem to be able to do. The connections just keep coming regardless of how the server is set up.
Thanks again.
Steve

About a week ago, my daughter's iPad2 stopped connecting to the internet. It will connect to some of the routers in the house, but not all, but then just hangs in Safari, netflix, app store...basically anything that requires going online. Even if the signal is super strong and other computers connect to the internet just fine, the iPad just won't.
I've tried everything short of a full reset. We're in IOS 5.1.1. 6 gigs free. She's frustrated because it's summer vacation and she would really like to watch netflix.Hi Jenroses,
I would suggest backing up your iPad and updating it to the latest iOS, which is iOS 6.1.4
The links below should help you with this:
Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?)
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Be sure that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.If unable to do so, see this article.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and indicate that they are connected to the Internet.If not, refer to your network administrator or ISP for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap the blue dot and choose Forget this Network. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network again.
Note: You will need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your desired network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and then on again2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2.For AirPort Base Stations, see this article for information about firmware updates.
If your issue is still unresolved
Follow the steps below for the issue you are experiencing.
Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Wi-Fi disconnects, or signal strength is less than expected
Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
Unable to automatically connect to Wi-Fi
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Error message on ejecting USB device even when ejecting properly
I always click on the eject symbol in Finder before removing a usb device but I usually still get the message that the device was not removed correctly and damage may occur. I have also gotten the message when using Eject from the Menu. Anyone else have this issue? This has happened in 3 different OS versions, not just the new one.
You're writing of the Sidebar on a Finder window, right? If so then, yes, that should unmount the drive. But if you have your Finder preferences set up to display drives on your Desktop, try dragging the HD icon to the Trash. It may stall for a few seconds but the drive should be properly unmounted. If you still get the 'drive was not properly ejected...' errors, I don't know what to tell you....

pls i need help
The ipod and iphone will not connect. This has never been a feature of either device.
Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the app store and internt tethering where provided by the carrier.
Other than this, it will not connect to another device/phone/computer. -
Hi,
I'm using iTunes with my iMac and like listen the my music collection in my Hi-Fi which is 20 m far from the Mac. Because of the distance in my flat and other obstacles I'm using a power line. I installed the Airport Express through the Utility and no problems: Airport light is green and configured. iTunes air see it but it can't connect to it.
I made several resets, plugged and unplugged the power and no change, but Airport light is always green, see it in iTunes and the Utility.
This is driving my crazy!
Any ideas ?
ThanksHi Jim,
Thanks for reacting to my question.
Yes, I did reboot the router, unplugged and replugged the Airport Express with ro result .... iTunes cannot connect to the Airport Express. I'm using power line to carry Ethernet because between my Mac and AE there are about 20 meters, but problems started since I updated AE version to version 3 ...
It is also non sense because the Utility sees it and then suddenly disappears ! but light remians green ...
I think there might be something wrong with the new firmware versions ...
