Connecting to standard TV set?

Hello,
would like to know if anyone has any tips for connecting my powerbook directly to my TV for viewing both commercial DVD (through idvd) and avi files (through VLC) I can get an image and audio (s-out). However, the video window needs to be way off the desktop in-order to be seen on the television. What display settings are recommended?
Thank you for your help, these forums have been fantastic!
Rich

From the displays system preferences you can select different modes for an external display,
Mirror - to mirror what's on the desktop,
Extend desktop - to make the external screen an extension of your desktop
SO you can use extend and then just drag the window to your tv and maximise it
Or mirror and it will run on both (I think this requires more work from the graphics processor though).
If you have a usb (wired keyboard) you can also use the tv in closed lid mode so that you can close the PowerBook.
External Display Modes
As Apple would say;
Choose from three display modes when you connect to an external display.
* Dual display mode. Spread out your work by attaching a second display to your PowerBook.
* Video mirroring mode. Whatever is on your PowerBook screen is displayed, or mirrored, on an external display, television or projector.
* Lid-closed operation. Dedicate the PowerBook’s full video memory — and highest possible graphics performance — to the external display.

  • Can't grasp the relation between tab set, parent tab, standard tab set and standard tab

    Very novice to apex application building, but after trying to figure the concepts behind the tab sets I'm getting more and more confused about it as I always get different behaviour when changing things.
    The documentation is not very clear on this.
    Is there someone who can explain this in a comprehensive way?
    It would be nice to have a view on the consequences of using these different levels of groupings.
    Any help will be dearly appreciated ;-)

    One level tab application
    Tabsets are used to group standard tabs.
    Use full when splitting up the application in different sections. Much like how the apex is split up in the application builder, sql workshop, team developend and administration.
    Parent tabs aren't used. And a one level tab application can't be turned into a two level tab application.
    Two level tab application
    Parent tabs belong to only one tabset "main".
    The standard tabset is the connection between the parent tab and standerd tab.
    There is one standard tabset for every parent tab.
    The standard tabset in the two level application has the same function as the tabset in the one level application.
    The standard tabset also determines when a parent tab is current.
    When on the page the setting Standard Tab Set is set then the parent tab belonging to that standard tabset is current.
    This means that if you change a page form one parent tab to an other you not only need to change the tab settings. But also the settings on the page.
    If you still in the position to choose between list or tabs as your main form of navigation I would recommend using lists.
    The possibilities with the list templates are greater that with tabs.
    Tabs have a maximum of two levels. List don't have such a limit.
    If you created your application as a one level tab application you can't turn it in a second level application without some serious hacking.
    Clicking on a standard tab submits the page and branch after the computations. This could also be viewed as a pro for tabs because with list navigation your page needs to be accessible by url. Did isn't necessary with standard tabs making them more secure. Parent tabs also use an url to navigate.
    Only the standard tabs belonging to the current standard tabset are rendered making a drop down menu impossible.
    Hope this clears up some of your questions.

    Hello,
    it could be working now, but <b>that</b> setting is wrong
    ORA_NLS33 is an environment variable used by Oracle < 10g
    But you set it to point to a 10g directory that does <b>NOT</b> exist on a standard Oracle 10g installation.
    That makes me think that your oracle client 9.2.0.<x> is not properly installed.

    after that when ever i connect it with itunes, it gives the message, it can not activate the iphone further, try again later or contact customer service.
    What to do now?????? Customer service people say..it is hardware problem

    If it's a hardware problem, then the phone will need to be replaced.

  • Do you trust the SAP standard rule set ?

    Hello all,
    I have the impression that, too often, the SAP standard ruleset has been taken for granted : upload, generate and use. Here is a post as to why not to do so. Hopefuly, this will generate a interesting discussion.
    As I have previously stated in other threads, you should be very careful accepting the SAP standard rule set without reviewing it first. Before accepting it, you should ensure that your specific SAP environment has been reflected in the functions. The 2 following questions deal with this topic :
    1. what is your SAP release  ? ---> 46C is different than ECC 6.0 in terms of permissions to be included in the function permission tab. With every SAP release, new authorization objects are linked to SAP standard tcodes. Subsequently some AUTHORITY-CHECK statements have been adapted in the ABAP behind the transaction code. So, other authorizations need to provided from an implementation point of view (PFCG). And thus, from an audit perspective (GRC-CC), other settings are due when filtering users' access rights in search for who can do what in SAP.
    2. what are your customizing settings and master data settings ? --> depending on these answers you will have to (de)activate certain permissions in your functions. Eg. are authorization groups for posting periods, business areas, material types, ... being used ? If this is not required in the SAP system and if activated in SAP GRC function, then you filter down your results too hard, thereby leaving certain users out of the audit report while in reality they can actually execute the corresponding SAP functionality --> risk for false negatives !
    Do not forget that the SAP standard ruleset is only an import of SU24 settings of - probably - a Walldorf system. That's the reason SAP states that the delivered rule set is a starting point. 
    So, the best practice is :
    a. collect SAP specific settings per connector in a separate 'questionnaire' document, preferably structured in a database
    b. reflect these answers per function per connector per action per permission by correctly (de)activating the corresponding permissions for all affected functions
    You can imagine that this is a time-consuming process due to the amount of work and the slow interaction with the Java web-based GRC GUI. Therefore, it is a quite cumbersome and at times error-prone activity ...... That is, in case you would decide to implement your questionnaire answers manually. There are of course software providers on the market that can develop and maintain your functions in an off-line application and generate your rule set so that you can upload it directly in SAP GRC. In this example such software providers are particularly interesting, because your questionnaire answers are structurally stored and reflected in the functions. Any change now or in the future can be mass-reflected in all (hundreds / thousands of) corresponding permissions in the functions. Time-saving and consistent !
    Is this questionnaire really necessary ? Can't I just activate all permissions in every function ? Certainly not, because that would - and here is the main problem - filter too much users out of your audit results because the filter is too stringent. This practice would lead too false negatives, something that auditors do not like.
    Can't I just update all my functions based on my particular SU24 settings ? (by the way, if you don't know what SU24 settings are, than ask your role administrator. He/she should know. ) Yes, if you think they are on target, yes you can by deleting all VIRSA_CC_FUNCPRM entries from the Rules.txt export of the SAP standard rule set, re-upload, go for every function into change mode so that the new permissions are imported based on your SU24 settings. Also, very cumbersome and with the absolute condition that you SU24 are maintained excellent.
    Why is that so important ? Imagine F_BKPF_GSB the auth object to check on auth groups on business areas within accounting documents. Most role administrator will leave this object on Check/Maintain in the SU24 settings. This means that the object will be imported in the role when - for example - FB01 has been added in the menu.  But the role administrator inactivates the object in the role. Still no problem, because user doesn't need it, since auth groups on business areas are not being used. However, having this SU24 will result in an activated F_BKPF_GSB permission in your GRC function. So, SAP GRC will filter down on those users who have F_BKPF_GSB, which will lead to false negatives.
    Haven't you noticed that SAP has deactivated quite a lot of permissions, including F_BKPF_GSB ? Now, you see why. But they go too far at times and even incorrect. Example : go ahead and look deeper into function AP02. There, you will see for FB01 that two permissions have been activated. F_BKPF_BEK and F_BKPF_KOA.  The very basic authorizations needed to be able to post FI document are F_BKPF_BUK and F_BKPF_KOA.  That's F_BKPF_BUK .... not F_BKPF_BEK. They have made a mistake here. F_BKPF_BEK is an optional  auth object (as with F_BKPF_GSB) to check on vendor account auth groups.
    Again, the message is : be very critical when looking at the SAP standard rule set. So, test thoroughly. And if your not sure, leave the job to a specialized firm.
    Success !
    Sam

    Sam and everyone,
    Sam brings up some good points on the delivered ruleset.  Please keep in mind; however, that SAP has always stated that the delivered ruleset is a starting point.  This is brought up in sap note 986996     Best Practice for SAP CC Rules and Risks.  I completely agree with him that no company should just use the supplied rules without doing a full evaluation of their risk and control environment.
    I'll try to address each area that Sam brings up:
    1.  Regarding the issue with differences of auth objects between versions, the SAP delivered rulset is not meant to be version specific.  We therefore provide rules with the lowest common denominator when it comes to auth object settings.
    The rules were created on a 4.6c system, with the exception of transactions that only exist in higher versions.
    The underlying assumption is that we want to ensure the rules do not have any false negatives.  This means that we purposely activate the fewest auth objects required in order to execute the transaction.
    If new or different auth object settings come into play in the higher releases and you feel this results in false positives (conflicts that show that don't really exist), then you can adjust the rules to add these auth objects to the rules.
    Again, our assumption is that the delivered ruleset should err on the side of showing too many conflicts which can be further filtered by the customer, versus excluding users that should be reported.
    2.  For the customizing settings, as per above, we strive to deliver rules that are base level rules that are applicable for everyone.  This is why we deliver only the core auth objects in our rules and not all.  A example is ME21N. 
    If you look at SU24 in an ECC6 system, ME21N has 4 auth objects set as check/maintain.  However, in the rules we only enable one of the object, M_BEST_BSA.  This is to prevent false negatives.
    3.  Sam is absolutely right that the delivered auth object settings for FB01 have a mistake.  The correct auth object should be F_BKPF_BUK and not F_BKPF_BEK.  This was a manual error on my part.  I've added this to a listing to correct in future versions of the rules.
    4.  Since late 2006, 4 updates have been made to the rules to correct known issues as well as expand the ruleset as needed.  See the sap notes below as well as posting Compliance Calibrator - Q2 2008 Rule Update from July 22.
    1083611 Compliance Calibrator Rule Update Q3 2007
    1061380 Compliance Calibrator Rule Update Q2 2006
    1035070 Compliance Calibrator Rule Update Q1 2007
    1173980 Risk Analysis and Remediation Rule Update Q2 2008
    5.  SAP is constantly working to improve our rulesets as we know there are areas where the rules can be improved.  See my earlier post called Request for participants for an Access Control Rule mini-council from January 28, 2008.  A rule mini-council is in place and I welcome anyone who is interested in joining to contact me at the information provided in that post.
    6.  Finally, the document on the BPX location below has a good overview of how companies should review the rules and customize them to their control and risk environment:

  • Windows 7 Elevating using UAC, does not change the standard users setting, it runs the Admins settings

    When elevating privilege for a standard user using an admin account, the UAC runs the application under the admins account "user" and not the standard users account "user", the problem is that doing so, it does not change the standard
    users settings
    In this example, trying to change the "Check for Updates Automatically" as the standard user, is grayed out, you have to be an admin to change this. This is a design of Java.
    When you right click and run as an administrator, the option is no longer grayed out and can be deselected, however, this only changes that setting for the admins specific "user", not the standard users specific "user" the admin is elevating
    privilege for. as illustrated below.
    Is there a work around for an admin to run his credentials but elevate the standard users session instead of his own or some other way to set the standard users setting when admin credentials are required?

    Hi,
    Based on your description, I understand that you want to disable
