His there a widget for dashboard which i can use to turn the infrared functionality for my apple remote on and off quickly?

As many of you i suppose, i have a universal dock and a macbook pro.
Now because this dock and my MBP are often in the same room and both react to the remote, it would be handy if there was a widget which i could use to temporarily turn of my infrared port of the macbook, when i want to use my remote for the dock only.
If i only want to use the remote for my macbook it's simple, i just unplug my iphone, but if i want to do the opposite, use it only for my dock while working on the computer i have to complete several steps in the system preferences before i can get what i want.
So is there an easy way (i was thinking a widget in the dashboard) to get around this?
thx in advance for your thoughts!

Unfortunetally, No and no.  Apple TV is a closed API so developers are right now unable to create an app that is very compatible to connect to Apple TV.  There is also no remote app on the Mac App Store. 
Let me know if this solves your questions or if you have any others,
Thanks,
Allen

  • Do you need a separate telephone number for an IPad or can it link to the same number for the IPhone?

    Do you need a separate number for an IPad or can it link to the same number you use for your IPhone?

    If it is an iPad with WiFi + Cellular, it has a mobile number attached to it. However, that number has no practical use for the end user as you can't use it to make calls or send texts. It's mostly a way of connecting the device to the cellular network. Additionally, cellular numbers are only attached to one device at a time.
    If what you're really asking is can you share a plan with your cell phone, well that depends on your carrier. Give them a call.
    Best of luck.

  • My ipod says has a strong signal for wi-fi btu can't connect to the internet. I have tried my network and the free one in my area and my sisters nothing works.

    my ipod worked fine yesterday i could go online. I could facebook and use safari. Today I cannot. It says it is connected. I have tried everything from resarting my router to restoring my ipod. I have rentered the password. i have tried other networks same problem. Does anyone know of anything else to do?

    wait a couple of days and see what happens, the ipod might just be in turmoil from something. Just a wait awhile and try every couple of hours, thats all i can do or know of to do. I hope your ipod can connect to the internet again soon. if your ipod is a gen four, it might be the new update.

  • Is there a max number of parameters that can be passed to a C function in test stand v. 1.0.1

    I have had an issue with test stand version 1.0.1 (yes, I know; it's quite old) and calling a C function thru an action step. when I call this function with 18 parameters, it seems to hang. I have called a function with 16 and it seems to work. Is this a limit of the software? I am calling the function from a windows DLL that we've created. When I try to pull the function from the dll into test stand I also get a { error...but I get that in the other function's call and it seems to work fine. Any ideas?

    ok, upon re-reading what I posted I can clearly see your confusion. haha. I think there are two separate issues.
    1) Are there a maximum number of parameters one can use when calling a C function from a DLL? Yes, i'm trying to call a C function from test stand.
    2) when I select the "module" tab, and select which DLL contains my function, the prototype has no information associated with it (by clicking the reload prototype button). I'm not sure why, as I'm using a declspec to send the function information out of the dll, but that's another topic. So I click on the source file tab and point the window to the .cpp of my function (within the DLL's project workspace) and when it begins to parse the file, I get an error about mis-matched curly brackets and if I wish to continue, and skip the rest of the parsing.
    I click "OK" and when I go back to the module tab, I am able to see all my functions, along with the parameters in the drop down menu below. I fill in all the parameters and everything looks ok; no syntax errors, or anything else seemingly suspicious. I then run my test stand code and when I get to the step which calls this function, the system hangs and cannot proceed.
    Any thoughts as to what might cause these issues? 

  • Can I adjust all the master gains for all the keyframes at once?

    I edited a whole scene and keyframed some corrections but I wanted to change a few settings for the keyframes such as master gain. Is there anyway to fix this so I can just adjust all the master gians for all the keyframes at once? Thanks!

    If its the vignette geometry that is keyframed, and not the corrections, as written, (there is a distinction) then the color values are presumably NOT keyframed, as the keyframe only applies to that room/component of the grade, and not the whole grade. Your Primary In correction, in this case, is NOT keyframed and all the normal rules for revising corrections apply.
    Apple COLOR has a systemic definition: a change in values for a ROOM is a "correction", and the accumulation of corrections for a clips is a 'grade'.
    Keyframes only govern the behaviour of the room that they are created in, and don't apply across the board to the whole grade. The advantage is that the corrections can act independently.. the disadvantage is that the grade itself cannot be copy-and-pasted into another keyframed clip without any preparations.
    There are ways of doing that that are not in the Manual.
    I concur with your view of tracking, and you do have to do a wetware estimate to decide whether the investment is worth it... maybe a start and end keyframe is all you need, and adjust the trajectory as required.
    Wetware= that 'goo' between most people's ears, that starts right behind their eyes.

  • Is there a way to select which display to use??

    Hi,
    I think my problem is OS dependent but i'm still gonna ask...
    Code related to this problem is:
      Process runner;
      Runtime t = Runtime.getRuntime();
      runner = t.exec("<path-to-office>\powerpnt.exe /s '<path-to-show>\show.ppt'");
      //  The program in line above is not nessecary  powerpoint it can be also Acrobat or web browser!!
      // (basicly  anythig which can be run on full-screen mode from command line)
    The Problemo:
    I have a computer (running on Win XP) which has two (or more) displays attached (Matrox G550),
    do i have a chance to detect amount of displays and if there is more than one display, can i somehow
    select in Runtime which display to use to show results of code above?
    Matrox solution was "when you run program once in certain display , it should be opened in same
    display next time", well... what if i shoud use 2 powerpoints in same time to have x kind of ppt in one
    screen and y kind in second screen wich has totally different kind of info what screen x does?
    If it's possible with JFrame to decide wich screen to use, i'm almost shure that i can change program to
    use pictures instead of external programs.

  • Hi I am searching for a app which i can use to protect games or other apps from my childs. not to protect all only a few

    hi im searchingg for an app which i can use to protect games or other apps from my childs. not to protect all only a few

    Sorry, but you will not find any such app.  The iOS itself is set up such that 3rd parth apps can have almost no interaction with any other app (exceptions being the ability of some to read data from some of the OS included feautures, like Maps reading location information from iOS location services).  So there is no way to design an app that would interfere with or restrict how another app works - the iOS simply precludes that.

  • HT201302 When I am trying to import pictures from my iphone to PC, I get the message'No new pictures of videos were found on this device'. There are lots of pictures which i can see on the iphone. I have a 4S. Is there a way to get around that?

    It sounds like you are using an application to import. You can do it manually.
    Start > Computer (on the right) > scroll to the bottom and you will see your iPhone under Portable Devices > Open it and you will see a Drive, open that and there will be a DCIM folder. That is where your photos will be (There may be other folders each holding photos).

    thanks

    hi
    create a functions something like this.i hope it helps u.
    function call_calender ( f_dtm_set in date default sysdate ) return date is
    l_dtm  date;
    l_list paramlist := get_parameter_list ( 'CALL_CALENDER' );
    begin
    if
      not id_null ( l_list )
    then
      destroy_parameter_list ( l_list );
    end if;
    if
      trunc ( f_dtm_set ) != trunc ( sysdate ) --> if you call the calendar function with a date, the calendar will change to that date
    then
      l_list := create_parameter_list ( 'CALL_CALENDER' );
      add_parameter ( l_list, 'DTM_SET', text_parameter, to_char ( f_dtm_set, 'dd/mm/yyyy' ) );
    end if;
    copy ( null, 'global.calender_date' ); --> create a null global
    call_form ( 'form_name', no_hide, no_replace, no_query_only, l_list );
    if
      not id_null ( l_list )
    then
      destroy_parameter_list ( l_list );
    end if;
    if
      name_in ( 'global.calender_date' ) is not null  --> if the global is not null, give the choosen item back
    then
      l_dtm := to_date ( name_in ( 'global.calender_date' ), 'dd/mm/yyyy' );
    end if;
    erase ( 'global.calender_date' );
    return ( l_dtm );
    end;sarah

    Jayde, 
    Yes I can help you out:  If you have found a place that sells it, buy it.
    You can buy MP3s from any online source that has what you want, and add them to your iTunes library.

    No, downgrading from any version of iOS to an earlier version is not supported.
