HD box controlled from different room

I am rewiring my house and was hoping to put all sky and wifi equipment in a cupboard and run hdmi leads out to the TVs. However I don't know if I'll be able to control the box with a normal remote as it will be out of sight. I have seen the magic eye but not sure if this will work with HD?

A magic Eye will work with your box as it will allow you to change the channels on your box. If you have one of the newer box you will need to purchase an IO adaptor which pkugs into the back of the box as the magic eye then plugs into this.

Wired connections from different rooms to Infinity...

Any help much appreciated with this as I got a predictably vague answer from BT over the phone -
Currently I use BT Broadband (can only get a 2mb connection due to distance from exchange) and my set-up is like this -
In the living room is my netgear router/modem along with a PS3, Xbox360 and Wii connected to it through 3 of the 4 ethernet ports on the router.
The 4th ethernet port is connected to a 'home plug' which sends the broadband through my electrical wiring to another 'home plug' upstairs which is connected to my PC.
Is it possible to do this with BT Infinity?
I know a lot of folks slate BT but my 'wired' connection has always been reliable and never goes down. I'm adamant that I want the stability of a 'wired' connection and don't trust wireless. Am I being old-fashioned or anyone else prefer the 'wired' way?
Thanks in advance

I'd wait and see how your homeplugs perform before changing.... but if you do get a performance problem that's the first thing I would change based on other peoples experience.
And as Michael mentioned there has been quite a few people recently deciding to ditch the HomeHub3.

Install TV in a different room

I moved my TV and SET top box to a different room and hooked it up to the cable, but all I get is a screen that says "Verizon FIOS Starting up...one moment please". Do I have to reinstall it as if it was a net TV?

No.
So long as the cable comming into that room is connected to Verizon, you can move the boxes all you want.
There are two things you need to determine.
1st, the coax that comes from the wall to the STB is connected to the "RF In" or "Fios TV in" connection on the STB, correct?
If no, then correct that.
If yes, then the second question would be... Does the coax that runs to that room connect to the Verizon service? Depending on when you had service installed, Verizon may or may not have connected all the cables in your house to their service. If they did not, then you will have to connect it yourself, or pay them to come out and do it for you.
But if the coax has Verizon service on it and you have it connected to the correct connector on the STB, then you can move the STB's all you want.

HT201343 Controlling the iMac desktop from a different room using mirroring (mouse/keyboard)?

How are you meant to control the imac desktop from a different room using mirroring (mouse/keyboard)? Is there an app for that? Or a solution?

Tried the trackpad out in the lounge and it worked, it's a little less responsive, but a far cry better than using McTivia with usb bluetooth mouse and/or keyboard. I guess the airplay mirroring is at the stage of an add on gimmick. Perhaps in the future AppleTV versions will come with bluetooth support to allow for serious use of the mirroring, especially with gaming. Thanks people!

HT4437 Using airplay, I want to stream music from my Mac to my ipad in a different room

Like the question, I've connected my ipad to my Mac & my Apple TV but I would like to listen to music from my Mac in a different room and have the sound come from the iPad, I can control itunes and Apple TV from my ipad what is useful if I'm in the same room but what I really want is to know how to control the sound to come from the iPad, I can listen to stuff from cloud but the internet has a nasty habit of cutting out so airplay would be cooler.. Does anyone have any ideas?

Ok, thanks for letting me know
Though I find it a bit misleading to say you can stream what you want to any device around the house.. Why would I want to sit in another room playing music in another, I can't exactly carry my mac around the house.
If you don't want to store loads of music or films on your phone or ipad that couldn't store all what I've got on my mac I'd say that would be the most useful feature, so you can play it on another device.
I live and work in a bar and sometimes DJ or just like to just pump music round the bar without messing about taking stuff on and off my ipad.
There just seems to be a lot of needless limitations, like you can't even get all the content you would watch ether... When you can get everything on a laptop and plug it into a TV and watch what you want and have a 500 to 1tb hard drive on it.
I really like the idea's their coming up with but their not quite there yet.
I often wonder why they just don't do a Full HD TV with a mac inside it and doubles up as a stereo and you can just stream everything from it.
Maybe in the future.
Cheers

I downloaded a program and it never shiowed up in the download box. I can't find it anywhere on my computer. I tried it a few different times and from different sites but still nothing. What can I try next?

I downloaded a program several times and from different download sites. It never showed up in the download box but it said all downloads have completed. I searched for it anywhere on my computer but the search produced no results.

I suppose there is a possibility that you have security software than may be blocking quarantining or even deleting the downloaded file.
Normally if Firefox says in the download manager that the file is downloaded then it is on your computer, and if you right click you should get the option to open the folder the er the downloaded file is in.
#Use keyboard keys '''Ctrl + J''' to open Firefox's download manager
#* or use ( press''' alt''' to display the menubar) Tools -> Downloads
# in the downloads window find the file entry you are looking for and right click
# use the option ''open containing folder''
* see [[downloads window]] <-- clickable link --
* and [[unable to download or save files]]
Please post back with how you get on.

I do something like that, and can confirm 20 feet won't be a problem. More than 30 or so might be.

Control LabVIEW from different application

I made an application that generates user requested amount of outputs and also takes parameters and IO controls from the user. It seems to me LabVIEW is a perfect tool for the user to do the screen layout. My question is once the layout is done, can I programmatically open the vi file and associate any of my outputs to the screen objects (for example an edit box or a channel of a graph etc.) and feed those screen objects with my data at run time? In other words, is there any APIs for LabVIEW so that I can go in to a vi file and interrogate its components’ properties and then getting or feeding values to/from those components during run time? Can it generate events when a user clicked on a button etc..?
Thanks in advance
Jian
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If it is just for displaying data in a way that the user can customise, I would reccommend you just stay with what you are familiar with. I mentioned a few posts ago that I know for a fact that you can #include a GUI panel resource into a C++ runtime application.
If you do want to run the viewer in LabVIEW, then unless each user is a skilled LabVIEW developer, you will need to run their uncoded VI through an intermediate or parsing LV application which will act as a bridge. This will need to be written in LabVIEW because a VI is saved in a format native to LabVIEW.
I might be able to make a demo on Monday, but for now an abstract description if anybody else wants a quick crack at it;
You could create an opc server (or another data sharing technique) on your data aquisition application, the LabVIEW bridge application will then be able to pull data in.
The bridge application can dynamically get a list of controls from the user panel, and users will be able to tell the bridge what data to pull from the opc server and where to put it.
There will need to be data sanitising; checking imported data types are suitable for where the user wants to put them.
After finishing any configuration, the bridge app will continue to pull in data changes and drop it into the uncoded User Interface panel using the VI server nodes.
Jian, for now you can read up on LabVIEW introduction courses (link, link), and then search for info on the VI Server

How to create session id from different string controls

how to create session id from different string controls

fais,
Please create the VI you are talking about and save some default data into all of the controls. Also on the front panel, place the session ID that should be generated by that data. Now, post your VI to a response so I can download it. I can then take this VI and help you create the functionality. (Please post what version of LabVIEW you are using.)
My guess it that you are going to need to use a good number of string concatenations as well as a few string indexes to get parts of strings out. As for the date, you can use a Property node with the Numeric Text.Text property to get the actual string displayed on the front panel for the date and parse out the parts that you want.

SCCM 2012 Remote Control - from Queries

Hopefully I can find out what's going on with my query configuration.
I've created some Queries for my Help Desk personnel. When using the default "Last Logged On User" query, It gives me the results for the user's computer, but when right-clicking on the computer the option for "Remote Control" is greyed out.
Resource Explorer and the others are available and work properly, just not Remote Control. However when I view any of the collections, Remote Control works perfectly. For now, my guys are running the queries, recording the computer name, then searching
the collections. Even as a Full Administrator I experience this. Any suggestions or possible items I have not enabled?
Thanks for any info.
Charlie Hawkins

Same issue here.
I have completely customized my columns it to add lots of useful information from different class and now EVERYTHING is grayed out.
so I tried all of your suggestions, and some functions did come back. not all. However, now the Queries are useless to me. I need to see the model of the computer, last logon user, last heart beat, install date, OS name that's not a number
but the Caption that says Windows 7 instead of 6.1 that makes sense to the upper management etc.
so, I took the original out of the box query that works perfectly fine and once I added "SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Model" , it broke the query.
I see this as design flaw of Microsoft and reported to be looked at. or am I wrong?
any ideas?

I have two iMacs in different rooms and Safari started crashing immediately after opening on both machines. latest version is installed.Any ideas?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Report using Data from different tables

Hello,
I am trying to convert a Cobol batch program to Oracle 6i tabular report.
The data is fetched from many different tables and there are lots of processing(i.e, based on the value of a column from one table need additional processing from different tables) required to generate the desired columns in the final report.
I would like to know what is the best strategy to follow in Oracle Reports 6i. I heard that CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE is an option. ( or REF CURSOR ?) I do not know much about its usage. Can somebody guide me about this or any other better way to achieve the result.
Thank you in advance
Priya

Hello,
There are many, many options available to you, each of which has advantages and disadvantages. This is why it is difficult to answer "what is best?" without alot more details about your specific circumstances.
In general, you're going to be writing PL/SQL to do any conditional logic that cannot be expressed as pure SQL. It can executed in the database, or it can executed within Reports itself. And most reports developers do some of both.
As a general rule, you want to send only the data you need from the database to the report. This means you want to do as much filtering and aggregating of the data as is readily possible within the database. If this cannot be expressed as plain SQL queries, then you'll want to create a stored procedures to help do this work.
Generally, the PL/SQL you create for executing within the report should be focused on control of the formatting, such as controlling whether a field is visible, or controlling display attributes for conditional formatting.
But these are not hard and fast rules. In some cases, it is difficult to get all the stored procedures you might like installed into the database. Perhaps the dba is reluctant to let you install that many stored procedures. Perhaps there are restrictions when and how often updates can be made to stored procedures in a production database, which makes it difficult to incrementally adjust your reports based on user feedback. Or perhaps there are restrictions for how long queries are allowed to run.
So, Reports offers lots of options and features to let you do data manipulation operations from within the report data model.
In any case, Oracle does offer temporary table capabilities. You can populate a temp table by running stored procedures that do queries, calculations and aggregations. And you can define and initiate a dynamic query statement within the database and pass a handle to this query off to the report to execute (ref cursor).
From the reports side, you can have as many queries as you want in the data model, arranged in any hierarchy via links. You can parameterize and change the queries dynamically using bind variables and lexicals. And you can add calculations, aggregations, and filters.
Again, most people do data manipulation both in the database and in Reports, using the database for what it excels at, and Reports for what it excels at.
Hope this helps.

The Oracle Reports Team --skw

Dynamic link confusing two separate AE compositions in PPro from different projects

I am using CS5 Master Collection for Windows 7 (64 bit) on an HP Pro desktop (Intel core 2 duo, 6Gb RAM). The tower has two hard drives installed (no RAID). CS5 is installed on the original C drive along with the OS, but the working files, footage etc are all on the larger, secondary F drive.
I am working on a DVD project consisting of several seperate PPro projects. Each project has been colour corrected in AE using dynamic linking. Recently two of my projects suddenly became mixed up, by which I mean the video (not the audio) from one AE composition in one project has taken the place of another in another project. The clip remains the same length, but the link apears to be referencing the wrong clip during playback. Interestingly, there are two clips on the track above the affected clip that fade out and in at either end, during the dissolves between clips, the correct footage plays. It is only when the clip plays by itself that the problem occurs. The next clip also has the same error, though the problem only occurs for half the clip and then suddenly corrects itself. Just to be clear, All clips have been rendered, there are no more than two video tracks on the sequence, and I have tried replacing the composition from the asset menu (in which the clip plays back correctly), but the problem remains in the sequence.
I hope that descrition is clear enough. My guess is some kind of file path error in the dynamic link, perhaps due to the separate hard drive. But I really wouldn't know. I'm very pressed for time right now and I'd prefer not to go against workflow and re-edit a new composition in AE, I would also like to understand what is going on in case it happens again.
Any help with ths problem would be appreciated,
J

Thanks Colin, I tried what you suggested with both the AE Project that it should be referencing and the AE project it is erroneously referencing but both failed to fix the issue. Its as if a hidden clip were laid over the top of the one I want to play. Frustrating.

It's not the comps that are the problem; it's the project file names themselves. You can have all the comps in a project named the same thing, and it'll be fine, but naming projects incrementally is an issue. After Effects includes a versioning function (Save and Increment) that will create a new AE project file with a serial number, e.g. AE Project 01, AE Project 02, etc. This is all well and good if you're just working in After Effects, but Dynamic Link gets confused and will usually start looking at the later project file for comps. That will just create a big mess, as you've found. Changing the names of the project files won't help things relink automatically properly, but it can help you fix things. Make all your DL AE comps offline in your Pr projects, and name your AE projects in a manner that is not serial (give them more random names). Select your offline AE comps, and right-click > Link Media, and point to the new AE project. Things should link up correctly then--but if they don't, you'll just have to remove all the AE comps from your Pr project, reimport the comps from the newly-named AE project, and replace them. It's a pain but it'll probably just keep getting worse if you don't.
