External HD and Internal Hardware?

Posting this here, since I use my External HD on my iBook G4. Although, this can go with all computers. *What Hardware is used for an External HD to startup and appear on the computer?* From my, somewhat new PC versus my iBook G4. The iBook G4 takes 1 - 5 minutes for the External HD to start up, where my PC takes no more than 12 seconds.

does it take my Computers CPU or RAM to start up the External Hardrive?
If your external HDD has an external power supply, as opposed to being powered by the firewire port, the drive starts up by itself. Normally you would want to power up the external drive before starting up the computer, so the drive is running and available when the computer needs it. The CPU is involved in the startup of the computer itself, and will draw on external power or the internal battery.
My PC is far more faster than my older iBook G4, so I was thinking that it may have had to do with the hardware for the External Hardrive to startup.
That will affect the booting of the computer itself, not the starting up of the drive. On the other hand, if your external HDD is not self powered and draws power from firewire, then it does, indeed, draw on power from the computer's battery or the wall jack.
I have a feeling I am not answering what you ask. I have not done actual tests to check the startup time from internal vs external drives, but 4 minutes does seem an inordinately long time. During that time, is it that the drive is starting up, or is the computer taking that long to boot?

Hi,
All postings which are originated from other than CO module ( i.e from interface, FI etc ), are called External postings in CO.
Whereas internal postings means posting which happen within CO module, example Assessment, Distribution etc within a company code.

Pavilion dv7-4285dx: cannot BOOT/POST to external VGA and internal LCD is dead (cracked)

I have cracked the screen of my HP Pavilion dv7-4285dx so badly that I cannot read anything on it. I am trying to boot to an external monitor on VGA port, but never get a signal.
I have tried the monitor switching key, but that doesn't do anything. I have tried disconnecting the internal LCD from the motherboard - no different. I have tried a CMOS reset by removing the laptop battery, removing CMOS battery, disconnecting power supply and holding power button down for >1 minute, then restarting with just external LCD attached, but STILL no video on VGA port.
The video adapter is okay, as it boots to Windows and then I have video on the external monitor.
Although it's good that I can use the ext. monitor once Windows boots, I need to have video at boot time to make changes to BIOS.
Does anyone have another suggestion of how I can get the BIOS to detect and display to external VGA at boot time?

2 external monitors and internal Screen on T430S and Mini Dock Plus

Hi Community,
I just got my new T430S and the MiniDock Plus. On the website I've ordered the combination I had the impression that I could use two external screens and the internal screen at once.
Unfortunately I don't manage to find the right settings to achieve that the internal screen is switched on.
I wonder if its just a question of settings or is it simply not possible to extend the screen over three screens.
Any help or hint is greatly appreciated,
Andreas

Intel 3000 doesn't support 3 independent LCD in this manner. You would need something USB2DVI or USB2VGA adapter to get the third LCD.

Two External Displays and Internal Display Over Different Connections

Hi there.
I'm going to be purchasing a rMBP in the very, very near future. However, I am unclear about how external displays work with this. My current display setup at work is two basic 1080p monitors that can be run over DVI, VGA or HDMI. I'd like to keep using these when I start using the rMBP but also gain the advantage of a third screen by using the internal display at the same time (so much space for activities!).
One of the thunderbolt ports will need to be used for an Ethernet connection (there is no wireless here), so this leaves the setup needing to be one monitor run via Thunderbolt -> DVI and the other monitor run via HDMI.
The internet in general isn't being entirely helpful with this. I'm looking for a clear answer of whether the rMBP will run the internal display and the two external displays using this setup under OS X. Some seem to believe that it won't work using different connection types, for example.
Thanks for any help.

Hello dljfield,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you'd like to use multiple external displays with a MacBook Pro with Retina display, then please take a look at the information outlined below. A 15" MacBook Pro mid-2014 can support up to two external displays using different outputs.

Where/how to troubleshoot external gateway and internal connection brokers etc.??????

We have gateway.domain.org as our external/internal gateway server.
It goes from gateway.domain.org to rdbroker.domain.local, rdbroker is the DNS address for two connection broker servers.
After this it should set up the connection and create a remote desktop to one of the RDS host servers in the RDS host farm.
Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't -- for different user accounts and different computers.
How to troubleshoot this??
We know the firewall rules for DMZ etc. etc. are properly configured because everything IS observed to work, just not all the time consistently. We get errors about cannot contact the computer, cannot establish remote desktop connection...
Thank you, Tom

Hi Tom,
Firstly, you need to recheck the DNS entry is well setup for your case. Are you using DNS RR for Load balancing the server or 3rd party load balancer? Have you setup the proper certificate for your case?
Please check whether required ports is opened? We need to open TCP port 443 and UDP port 3391 and forward them to your RD Gateway server. Also need to specify the external FQDN of your RD Gateway server in deployment properties under RDS server manager. If
you have RDWeb and RDG on the same server this would be the same FQDN that your users will use for RDWeb. Please see whether you have properly configured RD RAP and RD CAP policy.
You can go through beneath article for more details.

Using External Speakers And Internal Speakers At The Same Time

I know this is probably a long shot, but is it possible to use both the external speakers I have (the cheaper Bose ones) and the internal speakers of my Intel iMac at the same time?
Probably not, right?
I'm just looking for a cool three speaker kind of experience. Just wondering. Thanks for the help. Asante sana.

Once you plug into the external headphone jack that's were your audio output for iTunes is. The exception here for me is at start-up, the sound will use the internals untill the external set-up is detected.
Something else you can do to add more to your external set-up is to split it with an adapter(s).
Examples use this adapter: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?TabID=1&DOY=search&ModuleNo=1221&criteria= one lead to your powered externals,
and the other to a Stereo or TV with this adapter: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?TabID=1&ModuleNo=31700&doy=19m2
You can buy these adapters at most electronics outlets.
Hope this helps you expand on your sound set-up!

External and internal mikes are not automatically switching over either recording or on voice calls

My laptop model name is HP Pavilion dv4-1100ea which is shipped with Vista Home premium 32 bits and has got service pack 1.
Restored the laptop to factory setting since then I am having the following problems; I had the same problem when my laptop was brand new and whenever I reset the laptop to factory setting I get the following problems:
1. External and internal mikes are not automatically switching over either in middle of the recording using sound recorder or while the call in progress on voice calls (skype):
   Using the sound recorder if I start recording the sound with external mike and in-between recording if I switchover from external mike to inbuilt mike and later on when I play back I can only hear the sound up till where I used the external mike during recording, after the switchover to inbuilt mike I cant hear any sound.
   But if I start the recording with inbuilt mike and in between recording if I plug in the external mike and later on when I play back I can only hear the sound up till where I used the inbuilt mike during recording , after the switchover to external mike I cant hear any sound.
   So in brief both my external and internal mikes are working fine, only problem is that if I start recording (using sound recorder) or voice call with one specific mike, I have to continue with it till the end. I can’t switchover to another mike in between the conversation (voice call) or recording, if I do so, I have to select the mike manually in chat software but while recording I cant even select manually because in laptop, it takes the mike whichever is in current use as default mike in recording tab(sound window). The green tick automatically (in recording device tab) switches over according to the use of mike. Though the green tick in the recording tab is switching over automatically according to use of mikes, its not picking up the sound after switch over during recording.
2. And also when I click on recording device tab in sound window and plug in external mike, though the green tick automatically switchovers from internal to external mike, while I speak both internal and external mikes volume meter respond to the sound inputs by rising and falling but if I take out external mike, green tick goes to internal mike and when I speak only internal mike volume meter respond to sound rising up and down not the external mike.
To resolve the issue I have tried following steps with no luck:
1.I have checked the mikes(internal and external) properties, the both mike shows to be enabled in general tab, in level tab the volume is set to 100 and in advanced tab , all options are selected.
2. In device manager I have got only one audio driver named as “IDT High definition Audio CODEC”. I have uninstalled the audio driver and reinstalled it using scan for hardware option
3. Uninstalled the audio driver in device manager and reinstalled the audio driver using recovery manager > advanced option> hardware driver re-installation.
3. I have updated the BIOS(Insyde F.65, 12/02/2010).
4. I tried to update the audio driver using below link but things went more worse so I did system restore (not factory setting though).

Sounds like you need to upgrade to the iPhone 5s
The 5s has Touch ID
You can unlock your phone with your finger instead of typing in a key code
No swiping to unlock either, just touch the home button
You can enrol multiple fingers as well
Here is a video of it in action
http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/videos/#video-touch
Or wait and see what iPhone 6 has to offer
That being said, as desiel vdub posted if the phone is up to your face, the proximity sensor should turn the screen off
And when you lower the phone turn it back on again
Not sure about the phone locking when your on a call doesn't sound right

I just want itunes music and database to be on external HD not internal

What am I doing wrong. I have itunes music library on my external HD and my itunes preferences say that my itunes music folder location is just that. It's about 41 GB. Ok, but why on my system drive is there an itunes folder in the default user music folder and it is 7 GB and there are certain titles in there that did not make it to the external. The database files are in there as well. Shouldn't everything be located in the external itunes music folder including the database files ? How do I have itunes automatically update the external HD folder and put the database files in there as well and stop using the internal system drive for storage and database.

I did that a while ago. But now it seems there are 7 GB of stray files. Is there a sync feature that moves only the itunes files that are outside the designated itunes folder, in my case they are living on the system drive for some reason...

How to authenticate external and internal users on different AD

What is the recommended way to authenticate external users as well as internal employees in a customer facing application?
We have external users in an Active Directory in the DMZ and our employees in our internal DMZ. Unfortunately we don't have an identity management system in place and wondering if there is a way we could authenticate user against two active directories without creating a trust between them.
We are implementing EP7.0
Thanks in Advance.

You can also use user partitioning. A feature of the UME which allows for having different user persistence options for different users. What you could do in this case have the external user stored in the local db or an LDAP for the external users and the internal users stored in an internal LDAP directory. For more details about <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/e0/b60b404b2b1e07e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">user partitioning</a>, please see the docs.

Hierarchies,dependent and internal and external hierarchies .

Hi Gurus,
Pls let me know about time dependent and internal and external hierarchies .

Ok to clarify
Coflaher,
My end goal is to use Jabber for windows as an internal IM client which currently works fine as "saMAccountName"@domain.loc. I would also like to be able to federate to services listed under the Interdomain Federation section of the document you refered to above.
How should my IM address field read? Since you say it needs to be resolvable from external sources. This leads me to believe my IM field should read "firstname.lastname"@domain.ca instead of "saMAccountName"@domain.loc
Yet when add the following to my jabber.config.xml file it seems to loose it's mapping to all the other fields in AD.
This part of the documentation doesn't seem entirely clear. Your assistance is much appreciated.

How to install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro? keep getting msg- cannot install Internal HD is used for Time Machine- this was reset to external HD and still get msg?

How to install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro? keep getting msg- cannot install Internal HD is used for Time Machine- this was reset to external HD and still get msg?

At some point, your internal HD was selected for use as Time Machine backups, and a Backups.backupdb folder was created at the top level. So OSX thinks you're trying to install it on the same drive as your backups.
Open your internal HD with the Finder (you won't find it via a Spotlight or Finder search) and delete that folder.

Prob creating ABAP Proxy-Interface use external and interna msg definition

Hi,
I've created a service interface using external definition (message type for request and response), imported via WSDL file. However, while creating ABAP proxy in SPROXY, it gave the error message "Interface uses external and internal message definition". I searched through the forum, the questions were raised but no definite answer was found. Is it not possible to generate a proxy if there is any external definition used?
Details of the error message:
Message no. SPRX122
Diagnosis
In a message interface you can use messages from different sources:
Message types and fault message types edited in the Enterprise Services Repository
Messages imported into the Enterprise Services Repository (external definitions, RFC, IDoc)
In the current message interface, message types from different sources have been used. Since messages from these different sources must be handled differently during proxy generation, such a mixture of messages within a message interface is not possible.
System Response
The interface cannot be generated.
Procedure
Change the interface definition accordingly in the Enterprise Services Repository.
p/s: My external definition is actually derived from a ABAP FM web service. The reason why i used external definition is that i try to avoid the tedious steps of hard-coding all the data types for the request and response message types.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi Arvind,
For technical reasons, proxy generation and the respective editors in the Integration Builder do not support the entire language range of XML schema and WSDL. For an overview of which language elements are supported, see the Excel spreadsheet in the SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/xi ® Media Library ® Documentation: SAP XI 3.0 (SP11) u2013 Supported XML Schema and WSDL (EN).
I couldnt find the above document in the service market place. Any hint to find it?
Thanks.
