Help! Any Way to use iMac's display by PC?
I currently have several PC connected to a 24" monitor. Thinking about jump to iMac 27.
Any way, adapaters, switches.. to connect PC to that beautiful 27". I just don't have space to have two displays on my small desk.
Please help.
The 27" iMac will only work as the display for another device, in Target Display Mode, if the video signal from the other device is a DisplayPort signal. The 27" iMac works best with other new Macs with mini-DisplayPorts. Then you only need a m-DP to m-DP cable to connect the two Macs and the GPU from the other Mac drives the 27" display with its native resolution.
The problems crop up with external devices that do not have any form of DisplayPort, and so do not transmit DP video signaling. You can get converters to convert the signal from some devices to DisplayPort signaling, but this combination does not allow the other device's GPU to power the 27" display directly and folks are often upset that they cannot get the 27" display to use their device's highest resolution.
For example, a new XBox with a converter cannot drive the 27" display at the XBox's native 1920 x 1080 resolution, just 720i, or 1480 x 720. The 27" display's native resolution is 2560 x 1440. 1480 x 720 is half that resolution.
The converters are usually US$149.00. There is a much more expensive device, a video scaler, that can assist your device to power the 27" display in the device's full resolution. They are about US$300.

Hi, sorry if this is a silly question, but when I'm viewing my desktop on the home computer from work (as in I've connected by finding my computer in the finder and hit the "Share Screen" button - is there any way to turn off the display at home? It seems a bit of a waste of power to have the screen on when I'm not actually there - I just need to be able to see all my programs etc on the remote screen in order to use them. My home computer is a 2011 iMac running latest Mountain Lion, work is a 2010 MacBook Pro.
Thanks in advance!
MattI've set up another user on my home Mac and left that one logged in. Now when I connect from work it asks me if I want to share the screen or log on virtually as my user. I think choosing the second option doesn't power up the screen.

Any way to use filter to exclude tables in navagation pane?
Is there any way to use filter to exclude a set of tables from the table list in the navagation pane? I have a number of tables (15+) starting with the same prefix eg. AB123 that I would like eliminate from the list. They sort right to the top and I always have to scroll down, and go through the show more dialog to see the entire list.
I am sure I'm missing something, but not sure what. Help Center has nothing to offer.
Thanks
GlennThis has been mentioned on the forum before - basically the need for more elaborate ways to filter (multiple conditions as well as 'not like'). It is on our list for future consideration, meaning post-production.

Time Machine Beautiful Background - any way to use it apart from TM
The picture of moving universe as the background of TM processes is beautiful. Is there any way to use it apart from TM (screen saver, desktop image) ?
Not easily. It's not a single display. The "moving parts" are separate.
The basic background is at:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Backup.framework/Versions/A/Resources/vortex.p ng
You could select and right-click it, and select it as your desktop picture, but it won't move.
Or display it with Preview, save it as a jpg, import it into iPhoto, make an album containing it, then select the album as your screen saver. -

Web gallery - any way to use IPTC data by itself beside metaset??
Hi,
I try to customize a template. I know that I can use the metasets to include the requested metadata - BUT is there any way to use other fields?
so far I found
PageTitle
metavalue
But even those spaceholders can't be used as i.e. the alt tag.
Is there any way to get for example the Image Name (or other fields from the database) as a space holder??
Appreciate your feedback.
ThanksHey, wow that was a quick reply
Well all my photos are in Aperture, so I did think that I could grab the EXIF data from there and then place them in text boxes on my pages. I have hundreds of photos and doing it that way could take a long time! I was curious to see if there was something that would automate this for me within iWeb. For example, RapidWeaver allows you to check a tick box to display EXIF data under each photo. That's what im looking for within iWeb -
HT3702 Is there any way to use a pre-paid Visa card with my iTunes account?
I just received a prepaid Visa card as a gift and tried to use this card as payment info on my iTunes account. This didn't work, I suspect because there is no billing address associated with the card. Is there any way to use the card like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wonder why an Apple person told me this would work??
Apple should read this stuff once in a while.
Some prepaid cards appear to act as credit cards to the merchant. If yours is one of them it should work, but debit cards are not accepted for the iTunes Store.
Can you use a pre-paid credit card from Wal-Mart?
Do you mean an iTunes Card, the kind sold at Wal-Mart? Sure, that will work.
"Pre-paid" and "credit" are mutually exclusive.
I believe this way of thinking about it ought to be valid: if you need a PIN code, the card won't work.
I don't use debit cards so I can't be certain if this will apply consistently, but let me know if that makes sense. -
Is there any way to use -useLegacyAOT option in FlashBuilder 4.6?
I need to build my ipa with old version of Engine because i have some problems about loading images from outside. Since with Air 15 it is default engine, and i cannot quit Air 15 because of the iTunes specs. I cannot add -useLegacyAOT=yes to compiler options on Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 because it seems that it can be added at FB4.7.
So is there any way to add this options when i am using FB4.6

I'm using TestStand 2.0/Labview 6i to do a string value test. Is there any way to use a string variable in the edit string value test instead of an actual string?? This forces you to hard code a string to test against.
Hi ART,
You can also use the LimitLoader step to load your string into to step similar to the Numeric Step type.
There should be an example of this in the Resource Library | TestStand

Any way to use a quick and dirty icon like cLabel in the quick tools toolbar?
I am a javascript cut-and-paster with ability to cobble things together.
In previous versions of Acrobat, I had tools that were added to the toolbar using the technique shown in this script:
app.addToolButton({cName: "MyFlattenButton",
cLabel: "Flatten",
cEnable: "event.rc = (app.doc != null);",
cExec: "flattenPages();"
That would create a toolbar button with the "icon" that read "Flatten" which is all that I needed. I could click on it and it would flatten all pages in the document.
I used this to create several different tools, all with different names and cLabels.
This script still works in Acrobat XI (it adds the tool to the add-on tools list, and then I can add it from there to the quick tools toolbar). The cLabel names show up in the add-on tools list, but not in the quick tools toolbar. In the toolbar they all use the same generic icon (but they all work correctly).
From reading in this forum I see that there is a way to create a custom icon but it does not look easy. Is there any simple way to just have text appear as the icon as I used to do for earlier versions of Acrobat?
Thanks.One further question...
I found a code snippet somewhere online that attempted to deal with this issue. That led me to this (failed) solution:
this.importIcon("myIconFlat", "/D/J/CAD Standards/Stamps/Acrobat tools/flatten.jpg", 0);
var flatIcon = util.iconStreamFromIcon(this.getIcon("myIconFlat"));
app.addToolButton({cName: "MyFlattenButton",
cLabel: "Flatten",
oIcon: flatIcon,
cEnable: "event.rc = (app.doc != null);",
cExec: "flattenPages();"
The problem there is that importIcon is not allowed from a folder-level javascript, apparently. Would there be any way to use the importIcon part of this from the console and then cut and paste some output into the rest of the script? Just looking for a way to get the icon into my script. -
Is there any way to use a file transfer protocol to upload files to icloud?
Is there any way to use a file transfer protocol to upload files to icloud?
Unfortunately, no.
You will need a 3rd party web host to upload your websites to. Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
iWeb ’09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like “www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
iWeb ’08 you can publish your website to a local folder
Basically all Web Hosting companies are iWeb-compatible.
If you’re looking for a good hosting I would recommend IX Web Hosting I have been using them to host my own websites for several years now and that their customer support is awesome too.
