How can I connect HDTV and LCD monitor to PC using both -as a double monitor.

I recently purchased HP Pavilion PC a6600f with HP w1707 monitor. I also purchased a DVI to HDMI cable to hook PC to Samsung HDTV. I can use the VGA cable to hook to the monitor and the DVI to HDMI cable to hook to the HDTV but have to unplug one to use the other. Is there any way to configure Windows Vista Home Premium to show on both screens at same time or at least be able to switch between the two without having to unplug one and restart computer?
This question was solved.

I believe you have to press Source or the Mode button to switch between video inputs on your monitor.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Since you use the term "PC," are you using an Apple computer or something that is Windows based?

How can I connect HDTV to iMac to use with Apple Color?

Hey guys,
I use Color application a lot and the colors don't look the same outside of Color app once they come back to FCP the project is on a dvd...
Is it possible to use an LCD HDTV with the iMac for Apple Color to see the colors would actually look on a TV?
If yes, please let me know...
If not, then is there a workaround?
Thanks in Advance

Ben...no one mentioned the MXO2. Talking about the original Matrox MXO...connects via DVI. And it has Component and SDI outputs. Works with professional broadcast monitors. On that note, the MXO2 also has those connections.
And a GOOD HDTV will work for many non-broadcast workflows. Not everyone does broadcast work, so they don't all need broadcast monitors.
But, I'm sorry to say that the original MXO doesn't work with the latest batch of iMacs, nor the generation before this. It is old hardware designed for older machines. An iMac just won't work for this purpose. Sorry.

How can I go back and forward on a webbrowser using trackpad?

Hello
I upgraded my os with Lion.
in the fore version, I could use three fingers to go back and forware on the webbrowser,
but now I can't.
I can't find any options in any pages.
I think that was very useful..
How can I do it again?

Hi Hyok:
Go to System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures and make sure you have "Swipe between pages" checked. You can set it for 2 or 3 fingers or 3 fingers only.
The other thing to keep in mind is that, in Lion, the swipe direction will be reversed from Snow Leopard. In other words, to swipe back a page in Safari, you will need to swipe towards the right instead of the left. This mimics the finger movements of the iPad and is more true to what you would do if the page was a physical object and you were moving it out of the way. It could be that you already have this box checked but aren't swiping the right direction to go backwards.
I highly recommend giving this new swiping technique a chance, as I have found it an improvement over the old way. It took me about a week to get used to it. If you try it and really don't like it, you can go to the "Scroll and Zoom" tab in Trackpad preferences and deselect "Scroll direction: Natural".
Hope this helps.

How can I connect to my wifi router, but still use my cellular data?

I have setup a (off the internet) router at work to allow other Iphone users to connect with each other, as well as use the Apple TV. My Iphone 4S tries to use the wifi for email, web browsing, youtube, Netflix, etc... I would like to use my cellular data to load Netflix and such, and then stream them over my local wifi to the Apple TV. Is there a setting I can change that will allow me to do this? Thank you.

Nope. You connect to either WiFi or the cellular data network, not both at the same time.

How can I connect left and right RCA audio jacks to my iMac to record?

Did it not show up in yoour Software Update (in System Preferences)?
You can directly download 10.5.2 from Apple from here. And if that doesn't work (it didn't when I just tried it -- something wrong with the apple itunes site I assume) download it through macupdate from here.

Unless you have an active MobileMe account with Find My Phone activated for the laptop and the laptop is connected to a WiFi site, then you cannot locate it. File a police report and file with your insurance company.

Did you try to hook up both monitors to the Belkin adaptor? Trying will determine if your monitor has a bad input port. See if the Belkin adaptor is the problem. I have never used that specific adaptor, but I have always had luck with the Dr. Bott's DVI for ADC adaptor. Best of luck.

Thanks for any help! Regards

Hi Rob - thanks so much for your help! Could you tell me what "air sever or reflector apps." are? and where can I look for information about them?
Do you use them on the Ipad or on the PC?
Do I need a cable too and which one?
Sorry... I am not very technical as you can see, thanks for your help.

That won't work with the iPad, unless maybe there's a "control monitor" app somewhere.
