Extended monitor: how do I maximise windows + trouble using PC keyboard

I've got an external monitor attached to my Macbook Pro
How do I maximise a window in the extended monitor?
When I maxmise, it just pops back to my mac screen
ALSO: any advice on using a PC keyboard?
I'm finding it fiddly using the Windows button
ALSO: swiping... I cant do
I have the Macbook Po on a laptop raiser
Can I swipe with the mouse somehow?
Thanks
Omar

What OS are you running?
There is no shortage of keys so if it is smaller it just means it is has less bulky and wated space. The wireless ones do not have a number pad if that is what you mean. Apple has a USB "full size" keyboard with number pad.
I assume, since you are listed the price as pound, you are in the UK?

The track pad is the same as the one on the laptop just bigger and wireless.
I have a MacBook Pro with two additional displays so I use the Apple wireless keyboard and trackpad. I find gestures to be a great time saver and would never go back to a mouse.

Hi Vijay
Your question is not clear enough to give an answer. Do you have some difficulties with the code for opening a popup-window? There are many-many examples in the forum how to open/close a popup.
Or you do not know how to bind the popup opening with clicking a check box? Just put the code in the onSelect event handler of the check box.

How to monitor MySQL Server installed in Windows Server using Nagios

You can do this via NSClient as Gary posted. The NSClient is a communications system that allows nagios to send commands to a target system over the nsclient protocol and they are executed on the remote system. You will still have to build some kind of vbscript or plugin to run on the target system to do the actual query to check on mysql.There are other options to. If you enable snmp on your target computer you can use a few nagios plugins to query the snmp agent on the target computer to see if a service is running. To do this via snmp you will need this plugin "check_snmp_process.pl" fromthis site.Your check command will look something like this:check_win_process:= check_snmp_process.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C "$USER6$" -n "$ARG1$" -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$The service definition will be like this:check_win_process!sqlservr!0!0This will check...

I installed Nagios Core in my Ubuntu workstation 10.04 for me to learn something new in my craft. I use this now to monitor our Windows Server 2008 with MySQL server installed as well as our Datalink Switch (DGS-1210-24). I searched on google on how to monitor a MYSQL server installed in Windows server using Nagios Core but i could not seem to find any. Could anybody who's expert in Nagios give me steps on how to do so. Thanks. All i found in google were steps in monitoring mysql installed in linux and nothing in windows server.

How do i install windows xp using parallels

I have a new macbook pro and I need to run windows. I bought parallels from Apple and Windows XP online. The windows disc I got says "Reinstallation CD" for Dell laptops only. I called and told them I received the wrong disc, explained what I needed, and they sent the exact same disc. When I install it, I get a message that asks me to insert disc 2. They didn't send 2 discs. How do I get windows on this computer?

You need to purchase a non-OEM version of XP (if you can still find one). Some OEM discs simply won't work. I'm running Parallels 8 now with an XP VM and had it running since Parallels 6. Updating Parallels didn't affect my XP installation at all. Maybe Amazon may have a full version of XP? I don't know...
Good luck,
Clinton

How to I show a tooltip using a keyboard shortcut?

Hi, does any one know how to show a tooltip for the currently active item in a web page using the keyboard? I can get tooltips to display using the mouse, but I'd like a keyboard shortcut too. Shift -F1 didn't help, nor Ctrl-F1.
Any ideas?

How can I maximise windows under Lion?

OK, I realise that this is a trivial question that seems to have been answered several times for previous incarnations of OS X, but I thought I'd read somewhere the the behaviour of the green triffic light buttong had changed under Lion, so that it provide Maximise capability. Ufortunately, from what I cna see, it hasn't :-(
It cycles through various window sizes, and will get close to the maximise function, but only if you have already manually set the size using the mouse (or touch pad).
What I'm realy looking for is a feature that will unconditionally set the window to its maximum possible size - does this exist?
Note that I do not want the full screen facility, which I know about. I dislike this because it hides too much of the application away, such as the menu.
I may be being unreasonable, but this doesn't sound like too much to ask.
Note that this request is partly for myself, but mainly for my wife who has just transferred to OS X from Windows.

If Apple put as much effort into implemeeitng as they've put int justifying *not* impleemmting it then the world would be a better (and different) place.
Apple chose - a LOOONG time ago - to put that power in the hands of developers. If you develop an app, you can choose how the maximize button works for your app. This makes the maximize button far more intelligent and useful, if developers take the trouble to do so, since the window can then maximize to display the most content possible instead of uselessly covering the entire screen when the content is only a fraction of that area. Personally, I think Apple made the right choice, as I almost never want one window to cover the entire screen, but if you disagree, just use Right Zoom. Or full screen mode.

How Stop Pop-Up Window: Allow Fullscreen With Keyboard Controls?

How can I cause the cessation of the pop-up window that asks me, "Allow fullscreen with keyboard controls?"
In the last month or two (January- February of 2013), this black, semi-transparent pop-up has appeared every time I go to full screen in the game Battle Pirates on facebook.
After numerous iterations, this confirmation request has become completely unneccessary and nothing more than an unwelcome annoyance.

Tom,
Moderators have the authority and privilege to mark answers as correct, in addition to the original posters. ANY moderator here could have marked it that way.
The Bug report/Feature Request link is not a "vote" page per say, but a place to submit a request for a feature you'd like to see added or dropped from Flash Player. It's the best way to voice a concern or "wish" for a feature, since the development team reads the reports/requests. Management who'd make the decision to add or remove something won't read about it here. They WILL hear about it from development.

How can I install windows 7 using boot camp, if the partition will not format correctly?

Hi All,
I'm new to this forum and have had a chance to look around a little bit, but haven't really found an answer to the problem that I'm having.
I have an imac and I'm attempting to use boot camp. I have used it in the past, with prior versions of mac os x, but this is the first time that I have tried it with 10.6.8. The first thing I found out is that I can't use Windows XP, even with service pack 2 installed, because it doesn't find the "boot camp" partition. So, I recently obtained a full retail copy of Windows 7 and have been trying to install it. I have no problem with the boot camp assistant creating the new partition, 200 GB. However, when I insert the Windows 7 DVD and the computer restarts in the Win 7 install screen it tells me that I cannot install Windows on the selected partition (which I expected to see.) So I choose "format" the further format the partition. It doesn't ask me how I would like to partition this, but just seems to start. All seems to go fine until it finishes and i see the same message of "Windows cannot be installed in the selected partition." I can click on the format tab endlessly but it still doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas? I've called Apple and their technicians keep telling me that I need to reinstall the Mac OS again, which I've tried. It doesn't seem to help either.
Thanks in advance for your help,
DTK

Yes, I choose "Format" under the advanced options screen. It seems like it formats, but then I get the same message of "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style." I can continue to click "format" but i keep getting the same error.
There is the answer, right in front of us ....
Delete the bootcamp partition and start again the correct partition type is GUID but BootCamp should take care of that automatically so try again.

How do I activate Windows 8 using vmware fusion on my MacBook Pro?

I have a MacBook pro and there are a few Windows programs that I need to run. So I purchased VMWARE Fusion 5 and Windows 8 pro. I installed both with no issues except now I'm being prompted to activate windows. When I go to activate it with the product key, it says that the product key is only able to be used for upgrading, but not a clean install. I'm not sure what I need to do now. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes as with Windows 7 if you used a Upgrade Win 7 disc it won't WANT To Activate and to get around it you do another install of Win 7 over the top of the original Win 7 install and it make it look like you are Upgrading and allows you to use an Upgrade key.
MS really screwed up with Win 8. There really isn't any FULL VERSION Windows 8 install DVDs. They are all Upgrade DVDs no matter how much you pay for it. So to do a Clean install, on real hardware or in a Virtual Machine, you have to jump through some hoops.

Satellite Pro M70 - How to activate touchpad mouse by use of keyboard?

I somehow lost connection to the touchpad mouse. How can I activate it again by use of the keyboard (I don't have any external mouse)?
Asia ;o)

As mentioned the touchpad can be disabled and enabled using the key combination FN+F9.
Usually if the touchpad has been disabled then a touchpad icon which appears in the task bar should contains a red crossed circle.
Check this.

Trouble using USB keyboard with GarageBand

I have a Yamaha DGX-305 keyboard with a USB out. I want to record the real instrument using GarageBand, rather than using MIDI input. Is this possible? GarageBand isn't recognizing the keyboard when I simply plug it in. I've downloaded what looks to be the appropriate driver form the Yamaha site. It sounds like some keyboards are set up for plug-and-play. Is there a way I can get this to work where GarageBand records the real instrument via USB? Thanks.

I've downloaded what looks to be the appropriate driver form the Yamaha site.
But maybe it's not the right one. Is it this one?
When you go to GB's Audio/Midi prefs, does it detect 0 midi devices or 1?
