Connecting Two 2.1GHz Power PC G5's

Greetings,
I'm trying to connect two imac G5's so I can work between the two. I purchased a crossover cable and have successfully set up file sharing via networks. I'm having trouble however figuring out how to connect the two monitors so I can use one mouse/keyboard and click and drag between the two screens (dual monitors). Any suggestions on how to do this? Am I missing something in the sharing settings? Do I need an additional cable of some sort?
Thanks!
Lloyd

hello,
you guys were having the discussion i'm interested in!
i have just tried out the trial version of ScreenRecycler.
I am connecting a MBP (new version) with an old iMac (intel core duo 1.83GHz 10.4.11) to enable screen sharing and use the iMac as an extended screen for my MBP. I would like to use it for video editing and CAD so need fairly seamless graphics. I noticed while i was trying it that there are visible delays/pixelation if you take video windows onto the remote screen (on the iMac), and redraw lags whilst using CAD.
first i tried the setup just wirelessly, and changed screen colours to thousands (as recommended by ScreenRecycler). i also have an old ethernet cable that i have just connected between the two machines.
i am not noticing any visible difference with the ethernet cable really, but i am also unsure how to tell the software to use a connection via ethernet cable, rather than a wireless one.
can i just cable the two computers together? and if so, where do i confirm in their settings that they should connect via the ethernet cable?
i am using 'Jolly FastVNC' on the iMac.
i was also advised to 'disable compression and degradation' as well as the screen colours to thousands.
does anybody know where to do this?
excuse my ignorance,
thanks very much

Connecting Two Power Supplies in one PC

Hello there :hypecrite:
Will someone help me on how to connect two Switching P/S in one PC (If it's possible)?
I tried using two P/S in my old PC and it's working just fine. However, the problem is that I cannot switch them on simultaneously because the one is connected directly to the motherboard and the other, I just used a simple switch to turn it on.
Also, please check my P/S for this PC if it's OK.
Thank you and more POWER!!!
:hypecrite:

Hello again :hypecrite:
Thank you for your support guyz. I would like to tell you that you are all correct.
I think it's time for me to stop fooling aroung, experimenting things, too. And to trust the verdors instead. I looked for the psu brands that you all mentioned and it turned out my pockets could still handle such a cost, eventhough it costs twice as much as the psu that I have right now, but as long as it's dependable.
And about the problem with my CPU's temperature that I posted last November 12, 2004 (MSI KT4A-V with S/PDIF out and Core center), AMD support center finally replied to me and told me that my temp is OK but not to go above 70C.
Below is my inquiry to AMD and their reply:
My inquiry:
Dear Sir:
I would like to ask what is the NORMAL operating temperature of Athlon XP 2400+ FSB 266 model 8?
When my PC is at idle, my CPU temp reading is 60C and during full load, it reaches to about 66C. It doesn't have any problems though (such as random reboot) but I'm a bit concerned of the temperature reading. Some people say that it's a bit TOO HOT for comfort. Still others say that it is OK. What do you think?
I have read your post on MAXIMUM operating temperatures of Athlon XPs but not the recommended NORMAL operating temperatures.
And also when I turn the BIOS CPU core voltage to AUTO mode the default is 1.575V. My friends said the minimal operating voltage of 2400+ is 1.650V. Is it OK to just leave it to default?
Thank you very much

Dear Guillem,
Thank you for contacting Asian and Pacific AMD Technical Support Centre.
I can confirm that the temperatures ranges from 40° - 55° C in moderate usage and with a higher workload around 65° C, but never over 70° C.
What the correct voltage is concerned there are three models of the Athlon XP 2400+. If you have the CPU with the OPN AXDA2400DUV3C the
voltage should be 1.60V otherwise it is 1.65V.
It seems your system would overheat dangerously when set to the right voltage. I would suggest, you do check if the heatsink /fan is installed
properly.
You may find a different reading after upgrading your BIOS.
* Please make sure to download the right BIOS version for your motherboard.
Then, please, make sure that your processor Athlon XP 2400+ is configured in BIOS as follows:
- FSB speed to 133MHz (It is a bidirecctional bus, the full speed would be 266)
- CPU multiplier of 15x
- CPU voltage of 1.65V (1.60V if OPN = AXDA2400DUV3C)
With these settings the clock frequency of the processor should be 2000 MHz.
And finally you can test the CPU on another system to establish if the processor or the motherboard is responsible for the problem . If no other system is
available to you then ask your retailer/reseller to test it for you.
Given the case that the processor is faulty, we inform you that the PIB processors (box processors) have 3 years warranty, whilst OEM processors (tray processors) have only one year. In both cases the first year is given by the reseller and the PIB processors second and third years are served directly by AMD.
If you have any further questions, please, do not hesitate to contact us again.
Kind regards,

Yesterday, I increased the CPU voltage to 1.60V (from the default of 1.575) and my temp reading was reduced to 50C at idle (from an idle of 60C) and at full load to 60C (from a full load of 66C). I was not expecting this though. I was expecting that my CPU's temp will increase further. But this is what happened. I guess the RIGHT THING should be the RIGHT THING.
Tomorrow, I will buy a new psu with the brands that you mentioned and I hope that my PC's stability and performance will increase further.
Again thank you very much for your support and all.

Can I connect two firewire devices?

Ideally, I need two firewire devices running at the same time: One camera to capture footage and one firewire external hard disk for the media files (about 160 GB).
a) I've been told that I need a firewire external disc, because a USB hard disk would slow down the editing in Final Cut. Is this true?
b) If so, can I connect two firewire devices to my MBP (74.53 GB internal hard disk), which has only one 400 Firewire port?

1. Yes, FireWire is faster than USB. However, it would be better to edit on your main hard drive. Use the external drive just for storage and backup.
2. You can chain up to 255 FireWire devices provided the total power requirements did not exceed the port's capabilities. A single FireWire drive and a camera shouldn't be a problem. However, you should know that some FireWire cameras may not play well with other FireWire devices. If you find apparent problems when both are connected to the port, then you may need to use each separately. In this case you may need to put the hard drive on a USB port while the camera is connected to the FireWire port unless the camera also supports transfers on USB 2.0.

Connecting Two City or Location

Hi There,
I have recently Started Developing a BI Dashboard for my Company. One of the challenge i am facing is while to two connect two City in PowerView. For example, i have a City A, City B and City C. City A is connected to City B and City C is connected to City
B.
Now i need to create a Link/ Path or Line between City A and B and City B and C. Those Path will be associated with other Data. Example: What will effect if my Link A-B goes down?
I can easily do it in Tableau but seems like no work around in Powerview. If there isn't any then i think you should incorporate this must have feature immediately in your next version.
Thanks,
Sami

Hi Samihuq,
I've taken a quick look at the link and indeed this is something that Power View can't do yet. Perhaps you could create a Microsoft Connect suggestion for this feature: https://connect.microsoft.com/

Is there a way to connect two analog mics recording in stereo to the iPad for recording?

I currently use an M-Audio Mobile Pre to connect two microphones to my MacBook Pro via USB. If I wanted to use my iPad (or even iPhone) instead, is there a way to get the stereo input into the iPad? Would the Line 6 Sonic Port sold via Apple work? Would it take 2 separate inputs and deliver stereo to Garage Band or another recording app? Or is there another way?

Exactly that -- the procedure is described in the online Help: InDesign Help | Text variables
Now every time you insert the variable named "# of potatoes", you'll see the text "50" appear (with a minimal rectangular marker to indicate it's a variable), and when you want another number of potatoes, all you have to do is adjust the text in the Variables dialog.

Connect two external monitors to mini DP(using a mini DP to VGA adapter) and the VGA out at once

I am trying to connect two external monitors to mini DP(using a mini DP to VGA adapter) and the VGA out at once. Windows recognize both monitors as well. But it dowsn't let me use all three monitors at once(see the below image). In the dropdown, it lists all three monitors. Problem is there are two active displays I can select.

Mavec wrote:
I would like to add a third monitor.
The GPU(s) in your T400 (and most other laptop brands) will support two different displays concurrently. If you want to support more than two different displays concurrently, you will need another GPU external to the T400.
Generally, if you want to use two external displays on a T400 you will nee dto use a docking station.
I have read messages on various fora on this topic and know that there are a number of ways of doing this, but as I have never had a need to do this myself I can't tell you how to go about it.

How do you connect two Apple ID's?

How do you connect two Apple ID's to one another?

Yes. You can sync multipl iDevices on the same computer using the same Apple ID. You can each have different configurations of apps, books, music, etc. or have identical configurations. In this way, however, your common data - contacts, mail, calendar will be the same on both iDevices.
The Apple ID doesn't distinguish one phone from another, only how the phone will sync to a computer. The Apple ID is how iTunes knows to which computer a phone syncs. And, the Apple ID determines who is the registered owner of downloaded and purchased items via iTunes.

Can I connect two apple tv on same network and same apple ID at a time ?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Yes you can do all that without needing to keep plugging things in and out. You will still need to manually turn on the receiver and turn down the volume from the tv though.

Can I connect two monitors to a Mac Mini?

Can I connect two Monitors to a mac mini

Yes, but how depends on what model of Mini and what kind of monitors. Early models only had one monitor port. Later models had a Mini-DVI port and a Mini-Displayport. Current models have a Mini-Displayport and a HDMI port. The Mini-DVI and Mini-Displayport can attach VGA or DVI monitors, whereas the HDMI port can't use VGA monitors.
Beyond that, you can get Matrox's DualHead2Go or a USB->VGA or USB->DVI adapter. The Matrox product is a bit expensive and the USB adapters are a bit to slow for games and such. So, again, the answer is "yes", but with limitations

Not as is, but Matrox makes a peripheral that enables connecting more than one external monitor - matrox.com.

How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro? This question applies to both DVI and VGA, as I might have to work with multiple sets of monitors.

The MacBookPro only has enough horsepower in the video card for one external monitor.
If you want two or more, you need a MacPro.
Or a MacBook Pro and a Remote Desktop controlled MacMini.

How can I connect two PS3 to the same Linksys WRT54G correctly

Hi,
i'm trying to connect two PS3 to the same routeur without having conflicts. Everytime i try to update my game softwares it tells me error 80710723 or now 8002AD23. I gave the two PS3 different IP adresses, i opened all the ports that Playstation suggested me to open (http://playstation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/241) and gave them different DNS adresses but still they cannot download any software content without bugging the console. I also use a PC, Tablet and Phone with my wireless connection.
thank you
-François

Well in this case the error code (80710723 ) is generated when the internet connection is slow. So you can try the following step:
# Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that will open up the Router setup page.
# Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your router's main/ basic setup page)
# Make the Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
#Adjust the following advanced wireless settings:
~~ Lower the beacon interval from 100 to 75
~~ Lower the fragmentation threshold from 2346 to 2306
~~ Lower the RTS threshold from 2347 to 2304

Bluetooth - Connecting two devices at the same time on a Run (Bluetooth Mot headset

I would like to connect two Bluetooth devised at the same time on my runs. (Bluetooth Motorola headset (S10-HD) and Polars heart monitor (H7) at the same time) is that possible?

Thank you for the information. So if I were to return the new bluetooth keyboard, should I purchase the "Palm 3169WWZ Wireless Keyboard", or is there another model I should be looking for? (From what I can tell, I believe this one will use IR.)
THANKS!
Correct, that's the one I use.
Be sure to download the newest driver (1.13) for the keyboard from the Palm Support pages for the keyboard:
http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/keyboards/palmuniversalwirelesskeyboard/unlocked/downloads/page_...
Do not install the driver that comes with the device on the disk - 1.13 is designed for the TX and fixes a bug that existed in the original driver.

Did you try to hook up both monitors to the Belkin adaptor? Trying will determine if your monitor has a bad input port. See if the Belkin adaptor is the problem. I have never used that specific adaptor, but I have always had luck with the Dr. Bott's DVI for ADC adaptor. Best of luck.
