Dead LCD, Any file I can modify to force Extend Desktop/Mirror?

The LCD has died on my G5 iMac so I have no way to enable Extend Desktop to allow me to continue using the iMac with an external monitor. I still can access the hard drive via the network.
Does anyone know a specific file I could modify to enable Extend Desktop by modifying the file from a computer connected over the network?
Thanks,

Hope the information did the job. However, be aware that you might also tick off some users that do not like default settings others like. I would suggest you consider your reason to override the user setting is good before you do it. If you really want a full screen view, maybe a landscape mode might be preferred. In that case, I suspect users would not mind the forcing of a full page.
You can also force full screen viewing, but such is confusing to some folks that don't think of hitting the ESC key to get out.

How can I find out who created or which id created the Essbase app. Is there any file where can i go and check to see?

Hi All,
Do you guys know how can I find out who created or which id created the Essbase app. Is there any file where can i go and check to see?
I am on UNIX and 11.1.2.2
Thanks all.

Don't think that information is kept anywhere.
This is how the log will look like during app and db creation

Win10 file explorer can't see MyCloud but desktop app can.

I am using the final Win10 software (well, build 10240 anyway). Previous builds all worked fine with MyCloud but now file explorer doesn't show it under Network. However the WD Cloud app can see everything on it and I can access the device ip address in my browser ok. I'm missing something very obvious I think but what?!Brian

I don't know the drive name. There is WD service running which says it is for 'discovery' but I knew that since WD software can see it, just file explorer can't.

Can't set up extended desktop in Mavericks

I can't seem to join my two displays (MacBook Air display and external Cinema display) into a single extended desktop. Worked fine in Mountain Lion.
Does anybody have a solution? The onscreen help is no help.

OK ... after logging out and back in, the fix above from captfred worked. That fixed my main problem, in that I can now run Citrix Receiver across both monitors.
New problem ... I think. With the settings changed, when I go to fullscreen mode in an app (such as Safari), it fills up one monitor and the other goes blank, just like they did in Mountain Lion. Anybody else seeing this?
The new problem isn't a huge deal, but I can't believe that Apple didn't make the new fullscreen behavior in Mavericks work regardless of whether a space covers one or two monitors.

Can my computer display 'extended desktop' with a second monitor?

I believe I have a G4 Quicksilver 867 (2001) (bought it used and figuring out which model G4 is not that easy). I recently got a second monitor, but I only seem to have the option to have a mirrored setup (which works well). Is there anything I can do or rather what are my options to get it to show extended desktop. My video card is
Chipset Model: GeForce2 MX
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
VRAM (Total): 32 MB
Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0110
Revision ID: 0x00a1
ROM Revision: 1049
Will I have to get a new graphics card or is there a workaround of some sort?

Thanks, not what I wanted to hear, but helpful. hope you'll answer a couple of questions. I bought this computer as a second (do taxes, surf the internet, connected to my wireless router, escape my three kids wanting to use the primary). I've been very happy with it for its limited use (my primary is one of the first Imac G5's).
1st: Do you think it's worth putting a faster processor in it? My G5 has the latest OS, but I'm hesitant to go past 10.411 with the G4 867
2nd: Would you recommend a video card update to run extended desktop?
3rd: Can you run extended desktop on the original IMAC G5's (1.8 ghz, GeForce FX 5200, 64 mb ram)?

Are there any INI or other files I can modify to increase available memory?

I have a new CPU (Intel I7 - 950 with 8GB of memory) and I'm running Elements 9.0. I have a slide show that is just under 20 minutes long and I'm trying to create a WMV file with the highest resolution. The create output starts and gets to about 58% and stops. It never creates a file. I go the lessor resolution and it works. Are there any INI file parameters or other file attributes I can tweak to give the application more resources so I can produce a WMV slide show? I used to create 40-50 minute slide shows with an older version of the software without any problems, it just took a while to run. I cannot believe I don't have enough resources to get this created, but I don't know what I need to do.
I have the same problem with smaller slideshows. I have to restart my system, open Elements and run the slideshow build just to get a 9 minute show produced at the max resolution. It will NEVER work if I try to do ANYTHING else first. This is really getting annoying... Any suggestions - besides using a lower resolution or getting verion 10?
Thanks...

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Are there any files that can be broken down by instrument except MIDI?

If there isn't what's the most effective way of sampling? Because that's all I know how to do so far! THANX

I think nobody seems to understand your question. Especially what you mean by "broken down by instrument".

Istheir any way by which i can MODIFY the Primary Set of Books option inSOB

Hi,
Is thier any way , to change the primary/reporting set of books option , which is enabled in MULTIPLE REPORTING CURRENCY TAB in "Set of Books" winow in Financial applications.
Once defined , I was not able to change the option.
Rgds

Hi Sumit,
Thanks for reply.
But what i meant to say is:
Initially while defining Set of Books window , In the "Multiple Reporting Currencies"Tab,
If suppose we have enable Set of Books Type as "Primary Set Of Books", then
Is thier any way we can modify it again to "Reporting Set of Books"type or "Not applicable"type .....either in the Back End or Front End.
Or else, u advise me to create new SOB altogether.

Can the 2nd monitor be an extended desktop?

i know its a silly and simple question but im new to hooking up a second monitor. So if i get the right connector from the apple store and hook up a second monitor can it be an extended desktop or will it only be a mirrored image?

Can the 2nd monitor be an extended desktop?
Yes.

The "write key" configuration file vi use of "trim string" prior to writing the data can modify any string data written.

I tried to use the config VIs to record some front-panel settings for later restoration, one of which could be a single space character (part of a string parsing system).
I soon discovered that whenever I tried to save that single-space value to an INI file, only a null string was saved.
After doing some digging I discovered that buried in the Write Key vi is a worker vi called Config Data Modify that uses Trim String on the string data before it is written to the file and that's what was eating my string character. I don't know whether this is a bug or a feature but there are at least three ways to fix it.
1) Assuming you want to leave the library VIs alone, you can pre-process any stings sent to "write key" to replace all spaces with "\20" and then post-process all strings read using "read key" to replace all instances of \20 with spaces.
and if you don't mind modifying the library VIs, either to save/use under a different name or to stick back into the library in a modified state (caution - can cause problems when you move code to another machine with an un-modified library) then...
2) You can yank the trim-string out of the Config Data Modify vi and hope that it does not have any undesirable side effects with regards to the other routines that use Config Data Modify (so far I have not found any in my limited testing)
or
3) You can modify the string pre-processing vi, Remove Unprintable Chars, to add the space character to the list of characters that get swapped out automatically.
Note that both option #1 (as suggested above) and option #3 will produce an INI file data entry that looks like key="\20Hello\20World\20" while option #2 produces an entry that looks like key=" Hello World "

Hi Warren,
there's a 4th option:
Simply set the "write raw string" input of the write key function to TRUE
This option only appears when a string is wired to that function!
Just re-checked:
I think it's a limitation of the config file format. It's text based and (leading) spaces in the value are "overseen" as whitespaces. So your next option would be to use quotes around your string with spaces...

Why can't I move or modify any file from Documents folder without writing my administrator password?

I have a problem with the Documents folder. Everytime I try to move or modify (rename) any file located in this folder, Finder shows a message asking for the administrator password. It doesn't happen when I want to delete some file or when I do the same things in other folders like Music, Movies or Images, it only occurs in Documents folder.
I've checked the security and permissions settings, I've created other folders and moved my files there, but it did'nt work.
Do you know how can I solve it?

Hello & a warm welcome!
Is the external also named Macintosh HD?
If only the Internal is, it seems something has messed up your drive.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Reboot.

HT202796 I can not copy, modify, any file from my Mac to external hard disk, of the seagate brand (fast HDD Portable Drive) I don´t know if I need some software to copy and modify files in my hard disk external ? Could you help me please?

Hello I have a iMac with 3.4 GHZ intel core I7, memory 16 GB 1333 MHZ DDR3, and OS X 10.9.4 Software.
I have problems when I try to copy or modify any file from my MAC to MY PORTABLE DRIVE/DISQUE (external hard disk).
my external hard disk have the next features:
brand: Seagate
4TB
I do not know if I need some software such as: paragon or I need to configure my MAC,
Please help me..
Thanks a lot

Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, and check the format.
If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired, or install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer.
If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it; this may also happen for a flash drive which is about to fail.
If it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, click Authenticate and provide your administrator password, or change the permissions on that specific folder in its Get Info window.

I have PSD cc, had cs6 ex I did update, can't open ANY files, reinstalled, same..dead programs

I work in PSD cs6 ex constantly, recently i updated to cc. Today I can't open any file, Recent, old, make a new, open from library etc, NOTHING will open, i request a file, programs act like they are deaf. They arent locked up, just dont open or create files. Everything on my com is updated. I uninstalled and reinstalled and same. Also I no longer can install cs6 just CC.

Even the term "I request a file" is ambiguous.
Please provide more detailed information. Ideally, show some screen grabs showing what you are seeing, and identify just what isn't working.
Best advice, based on no specific information provided, is to uninstall using the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool / process to really get everything cleaned up, then reinstall.

Creating print files that clients can modify in the future without using Indesign

If I create a print/design piece for clients in Indesign CS3 is there a file format I can give them that they can modify in the future without coming back to me to modify it for them? Essentially build them a design template which they can use for another program such as word / publisher / something like that?
Yes, publisher is gross...I know, i know, i cringed a little too...

I'm with David on this one. If you can charge the client for making changes to a project you already created, why not do so? If the client has ASKED you for an "editable" format of the project so they can "save money" by making their own edits, they're cheating you.
In a nutshell, if a client wants to edit a project, as Rodney mentioned, they'll need to pony up and purchase the required software, and THEN learn how to use it--nothing is free, right?
Also be aware that by giving a client access to your production files, you are setting yourself up for the possibility of many phone calls "asking" how to do this or that in the files. Unless you also plan on adding a cost update for program tutorials, I wouldn't even think of it.
Another thing to consider is this; once you turn over any production files, you may also be blamed for "corrupt files" when the client takes those files (edited or not) to an unknown printer who may tell the client, "I can't use these files". The client will then call you in frustration, exclaiming "The files you sent me are bad! The printer can't use them. You have to fix this right away." At this point, your best option is to add a disclaimer such as a READ-ME file on the disk, that states you aren't responsible for the quality of output of any files which you do not maintain final production control.
Remember: we (as designers, printers, etc.) are in business to make money doing a job that a client doesn't know how to do. That's what business is all about. Just because a client might want to "save money" by doing it themselves doesn't mean you have to "train" them to do it without charging for that service, as well. In my business, I have an actual cost update item entry called "Software Assistance and Training", and we charge $180 per hour or fraction thereof to walk clients through editing a document we created, if they insist on requesting the project files from us. It makes sure we get paid for the time spent on all projects, even if it means spending an hour on the phone to "walk" a client through the steps of using the program. And finally: A client that doesn't want to pay for your services is a client any profitable business doesn't need.
Just something to think about...

I have an external hard drive, from Iomega. However, I cannot copy or save any file to it. On my PC it says that is possible to read and write in it, but in my Mac, it says I can only read. can somebody help me?

Also, Im a photographer, so I like to name a lot of files at the same time (used to do in on PC and it was very usefull.) cannot find out how to do it on my Mac. Really appretiate if some one can give me a solution! Thanx

Your drive is formatted with the NTFS file system. OS X can read but not write to the NTFS file system. There are third party drivers available that claim to add the ability to OS X to write to an NTFS partition. I have not tried them and don't know if they work.
The only file system that OS X and Windows can both write to natively is the FAT32 file system.
