Moderator Note; subject edit, post moved to here

hi harry13,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
If you're referring to the Lenovo® H405, this unit has an integrated VGA and HDMI out according to this pdf data sheet.
If you'll be using a flat panel monitor (that usualy has a VGA connector and a single link DVI D digital interface), you will need to connect 1 monitor to the VGA out and use an HDMI to single link DVI-D converter on the other monitor. You might need to scan for hardware changes under the device manager to identify the monitor that's connected to the HDMI to DVI-D converter. Note that you need to change the video setup under BIOS to IGD or the onboard graphics.
If you'll be using your discrete video adapter for the multi-monitor setup, you must change the video setup to PEG under the BIOS and the video card must have a vga or hdmi/dvi out.
Also, see these guides as a reference:

How best to connect multiple (not Apple) monitors to mac mini

Hi all,
I'm looking to purchase a Mac Mini and need some advice about setting up two non Apple monitors that have both HDMI & VGA ports.
Can I use USB ports?
If I connect one on the Thunderbolt and the other to the HDMI port will it work well?
Can I connect two monitors through one HDMI or Thunderbolt port?
Can I add other monitors later of I want to?
Also what cables/adapters will I need.
Thank you
Drew

Connect one to the computer's HDMI port and the other to the Thunderbolt port using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable or adapter

It is possible to connect multiple displays to the HDMI port by using a HDMI splitter, but all will show the same picture.
It is possible to connect two displays to the Thunderbolt port but at least one must be a Thunderbolt display, and you can't use the HDMI port.
It is possible to connect extra displays via USB, but performance is limited

How do you use multiple displays with a MacBook Pro and iMac

I have an iMac and a MacbookPro laptop both upgraded to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). I'd like to use multiple displays with them. Can I do this without an Apple TV? They are both on the same network. If I can, can someone please give some instructions on how this can be done?
Thanks!

Both computers have ports for external monitors. Check your user manuals. Only one display can be added to the MBP, but newer iMacs have dual Thunderbolt ports.
Do your own Google research to learn what to do, but reading your manuals should be all you really need. It' not rocket science yet.

How can I connect multiple clients to a single client ?

I am currently developing an instant messaging program.I created a server and connected multiple clients to it by using thread logic.However I do not know how to connect multiple client to a single client.
What shall I do for that?Does anybody know a good tutorial or sample program?Or shall anybody explain me what I shall do for building the Instant Messaging part of my chat program?
Thank u in advance.

You may use UDP multicast socket. But since you are using the UDP protocol you might risk losing the data that you send since UDP does not guarantee the safe transfer of data.
Alternately, you might create a server that allows multiple client to connect to it whose connection Socket objects are then stored in a Vector <Socket> object. The server then sends back data to the connected client about the other clients connected to it. Now when the client wants to send data (like an IM) to another connected client, it has to send a request to the server specifying the client login name and the server in turn streams that particular client's Address and Port to the requesting client. The requesting client then initiates the connection with the other client and then starts a conversation. One more thing, when the client communicates it needs to send information to the server like the name by which it likes to be referenced. In this scenario the server acts like a central repository for clients to query the existence of other clients in the chat room. Each client here runs a thread that listens to incoming connections and when a connection is established, may be opens a IM window or something.
The third option is to make the server to relay the information from one client to another. Like say, I'm connected to whoopy server and i want to send "Hello" to jackson, then i send the message (ie, Hello) along with the name of the client to which i wish to send it to (ie, jackson). The server then performs a lookup in its Vector <Socket> object and then initiates a connection with jackson and sends the information. However, this method is pretty costly in that you will be wasting a lot of processing behind the server.

How can I connect multiple devices to Mac mini display port? I need to connect a Canon 5D to my Mac and display the result on a VGA video projector. I am using mini hdmi to mini display for the camera. Can I connect the VGA to any other port?

Hi there I am connecting a Canon 5D to my laptop trying to use it as a webcam trough camtwist.
At the same time I need to output the streaming to a videoprojector.
The cam is connected to the mini display port do there is no port available for the VGA cable anymore.
Do I need to use a different port for the projector? Should I buy a video card?
Can't connect the camera via USB as that is too slow and it will freeze.
Many thanks for all your help

Connect multiple displays to MBA(thunderboldt)

Anyone knows how to connect to Dell monitors, one with only VGA and another one with both VGA and DVI? I have a MBA mid 2011 and want to make the two external screens just mentioned my displays.
I have both adapter for VGA and DVI to my thunderboldt/mini displayport.

You can use one of your Thunderbolt adapters for one display and a USB to DVI adapter

for the other. However the USB adapter will not have very good performance.

How do we connect multiple Apple ID's to one common account?, How do we connect multiple Apple ID's to one common account?

My wife and daughter both have iPhones - they like different music and Apps. How can we keep their iTunes accounts separate, but allow them to both get access to the paid apps and music we currently have in the one account?

Hello JamyandTami,
It sounds like you purchase all the apps and music for your wife and daughter with one Apple ID, but you want to sync different information to each iPhone. I recommend using method 2 in the article below and just syncing the information you want to each phone using a playlist for the music and selecting only the apps you want on each device:
Method Two
You may use multiple devices on a computer without the need to create multiple user accounts. To do this, you can set iTunes to update each device with only certain playlists. This method allows you to put all your music on, say, your iPod and keep your iPod shuffle updated with only your workout music. Here's how to do this with iTunes:
Create new iTunes playlists that contain all the music that you want to sync to each device.
Learn how to sync your device.
I recommend reviewing the full article if you would like to see other options:

You can also download only what you want from the App and iTunes Store to each respective device using the steps in this article:

With either of these methods, you would want to disable automatic downloads on each device so that any new purchases are not automatically downloaded on your wife's phone when your daughter downloads something and vice versa:

I was wondering if someone could help me understand which cables to buy.
Thank you!

How do I connect multiple telnet clients to a telnet server in LabVIEW?

Good afternoon,
I'm writing a telnet server in LabView 6.1 that needs to handle multiple clients. To do this, I modified the "viserver\runvi.llb" example to use the telnet VI's from the Internet Toolkit instead of the TCP VI's. Then I changed the Open VI Reference to point to my telnet handler. Right now my handler just echoes the characters received from the client.
My software works ok for the first connection. After the server accepts two or more connections, characters typed in one client get echoed to all clients. In addition, only one client will accept characters at a time. The client accepting input changes randomly every few seconds as characters are entered.
Has anyon
e gotten the telnet VI's to run in parallel? Not sure if they are thread-safe or not. If you have some experience with this, I have attached my llb if you think you can help.
Thanks!

I don't think there's a problem with the TCP/connection portion of things. My feeling is that the problem is lurking somewhere in the timing of the application, or in the way LabVIEW task scheduling/multitasking is working compared to the way you expect it to work.
For instance, I'm wondering why you stuck with 25 seconds (25000 ms) as the timeout value for the Telnet Read in Telnet Handler.vi. I assume you're expecting LabVIEW to quickly "sleep" that while loop and move on to check on the while loops of any other Telnet Handler.vi instances that might have been spawned as a result of connection requests from other remote clients.
Instead, it seems to me (on my system, anyway, with three simultaneous connections active) that LabVIEW is not cyc
ling through the other Telnet Handler.vi instances as you expect, but is only getting to them to read a byte at a time each time the main loop iterates in response to a byte appearing from the first of the three remote clients.
If you change the Telnet Read timeout to 50 ms instead, the behavior is closer to what you might expect, but still not perfect.
Because timing/threading/scheduling is a complicated subject in LabVIEW, I'm going to give LabVIEW the benefit of the doubt and assume it's operating as designed. Maybe someone else can provide more insight into what's happening in this particular case, and whether reentrancy or something else is affecting things.
One option I would consider if I were in your shoes: program a simpler version of things that mimics Date Server.vi and cycles through a queue of connections to service them without relying on spawning new reentrant instances of a handler VI.
I realize that your version of things (along with the reentrancy example
that ships with LabVIEW) is expressly intended to handle this daemon-style situation, but simpler may be better for the purposes of debugging and development ease.
My two cents,

How do YOU manage multiple displays in Mountain Lion?

I'm finding that Mountain Lion's changed display management awfully hard to rationalize. I recently purchased a Macbook Air. I love it, but as a developer I did need more screen real estate. A few days ago I plugged an external 22" monitor in and was horrified to discover that a) full-screen mode renders one display worthless b) flipping between spaces flips BOTH screens.
This is entirely incomprehensible to me, but I'll leave the question of the wisdom of the decision for others to debate.
What I want to do is simple. Either:
a) be able to flip between spaces on either display INDEPENDENT of the other
and/or
b) Flip between spaces on one display while leaving the other untouched. For example, using one as a reference screen while flipping between the browser and my code editor.
So, fellow developers and power users, how do YOU manage this scenario? Is there some 3rd-party utility that allows me to easily restore the functionality I had in previous versions of OSX?

Why not start here.
