How to deactivate 3rd Display (TV using HDMI over Thunderbolt) on my iMac without unplugging the miniDVI-HDMI Adapter evry time?
Hi guys,
I have a question to the following setup.
I have an new iMac connected to a VGA Display and a HDMI Sharp TV (over Thunderbolt adapters)
I wanna know if there is a way to deactivate the HDMI tv (3rd Display) for example by an Apple Script?
The reason for this is that my DVB-C tv signal loses quality and you see a lot of artifacts when I plug in this TV to my iMac.
The easiest way would be to simply deactivate and activate this screen by a Apple Script button on my Desktop instead of unplugging the Adapter everytime.
Hope you can help me!
Yes, I realized it didn't list the Mac Pro, but nothing in my local Apple store does - the Genius said this is the one they give new 2010 Mac Pro owners, and packaging was created prior to the release of new Mac Pros and 5770s.
I have headphones plugged into the front panel, but I do already have one of the stereo 1/8" to phono cables and this is a reasonable option, although another cable running to the TV doesn't thrill me due to the layout of my home office. But thanks for the suggestion - I may well end up doing this.

How to deactivate other phones from using my itunes account
Please help how to deactivate other phones from using my itunes account?
Hello Kirstyspencer
I would sign out of your Apple ID on those devices and also change the password to your Apple ID. That should stop people from accessing and using your Apple ID.

I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.
If it won't turn on then the monitor is dead (power supply?, video circuits?). Not worth repairing.
If you have a new iMac then it has thunderbolt. So exactly what is that monitor you are trying to connect? For TB you can connect a mini-displayport monitor. Probably (not 100% sure with TB) can use dvi or vga too if you have the appropriate adapter. -
have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud
To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

how to deactivate my iphone if it is stolen ? but i do not know the serial number neither do i have the box.
I also suggest, if you have enabled geo-localization and have associated an iCloud account to your iPhone, to localize your iPhone through a map on http://www.icloud.com. You may also block your iPhone, send a message to the iPhone and erase all your data.

Yes, because the startup disk is read from the boot rom, not the Hard Disk.

Hi. Is it possible to create an EQ setting (manual) in iTunes that can be stored on an ipod nano as an addition to the 22 EQ presets? I want to use a manual setting for my headphones without applying the EQ to all the individual songs. I'd use a different EQ for my dock.
Thanks.
Paul StA quick look at the DM1 site shows that it works with Audiocopy.

How can I set up a preferred printer so I don't have to pick the printer each and every time I print something out? At the moment, even immediately after printing one thing, it prompts me to pick a printer, which is very time consuming.

No, there is not setting for a default printer.The system scans for available airprint printers each time you print. -

Hello,
What I am trying to do is to use LV application builder generating an installation disk without compiling the support files. I mean:
the support fils like the help files are located on a different directory , for example, installation disk is D drive, help file directory is: D:\Help\..., not compiled in the installation Data set.
So, when the installation disk is running, it only copy this directory file into the destiny directory. Of course, we can write a different bat file to do this. However, beside this method, is there any way, like using LV application builder to do this without writing a batch file. Any suggestion will be appreciated.For LabVIEW 7.1, this can be done in a few short steps. First, add your help file as a support file in the Application Builder. Then go to the Installer tab, choose to create an installer and click on the Files button at the bottom. From this dialog (shown below), you can specify the destination for each component in your install package. If you have added your help file as a support file, it will show up in the Files in Installation list. Click on your help file to highlight it. You can now choose where to install the file to by specifying an installation destination and a subdirectory. The default subdirectory is called data, but if you want to change that, just type in a new subdirectory name as I have done below:
Hope this helps!

For the past year I've been using an external hard drive (HD1) connected to my airport extreme as the back-up location for time machine. This has worked fine without any issues. What I would like to do now is to move my itunes and iphoto libraries off of my laptop (space constraints) and store them on a second external hard drive (HD2) connected to the airport extreme. I have successfully connected the second hard drive using a Belkin powered USB hub. What I am wondering is if I direct my time machine back-ups to HD1 will it back-up both my mac HD as well as HD2? I apologize if this has already been answered but i've read conflicting responses on various message boards and a number of responses were dated so I wanted to make sure I received the latest information.

That may be true, but you need to know that backing-up that way is unreliable and not supported by Apple. See: Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk. Do not be surprised if those backups suddenly turn up corrupted.
What I am wondering is if I direct my time machine back-ups to HD1 will it back-up both my mac HD as well as HD2?
No. Time Machine cannot back up from any network location. The 3rd-party utilities CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives. -
How to append a new entry in a list of 100,000 names without iterating the list each time?
I have a list of 100,000 + names and I need to append to that list another 100,000 names. Each name must be unique. Currently I iterate through the entire list to be sure the name does not exist. As you can imagine this is very slow. I am new to Java and I am maintaining a 15+ year old product. Is there a better way to check for an existing name?
We are using a Java list because that is how the original developers coded it. I don't think they planned for that many entry's. I know I need to re factor this which is why I am asking for opinions on how to make this more efficient. Currently we don't use a database for anything in the product so I would like to stay away from that if possible.
Ok - but it still raises the question in my mind as to how that data is being used.
I gave you a couple of options that will take care of the UNIQUE requirement (HashTable, HashMap) but the BEST solution depends on:
1. How often new entries are made
2. How often entries are deleted
3. How often entries are changed
4. How often entries are accessed
5. How the data is actually used
If you just have a one time requirement to merge the two lists then just do it and get it over with - it won't really matter how you do it.
But Hash classes will present their own performance issues if the typical access is for many, most or all of that 200k+ entries.
Without knowing the full set of requirements we can't really know just what part of the process needs to be optimized. -
Stop sending signal to external display without unplugging the cable
Stupid question: if I toggle through the display settings (F7), it doesn't seem as if any go to shutting off the external display (like maybe I want to make a change I don't want my audience to see, I would like to shut it off without unplugging, then turn it back on when I'm done). Did I just not toggle through enough? Or is there a different mechanism to accomplish this?
(I also looked in System Preferences --> Display, but see no command for shutting off the external display once it is connected/detected.)
Thanks!Hi, Phlaug. There is no such setting. But if you use Extended Desktop mode instead of Display Mirroring mode, nothing that appears on your MBP's screen needs to appear on the external display (or projector) that your audience is seeing.
Instructions from Mac Help, under the Help menu:
*Setting up multiple displays as an extended desktop*
If your computer is connected to more than one display or to a TV or projector, you can set them up as a continuous display for your desktop.
To set up multiple displays as an extended desktop:
Connect the displays to your computer.
Connecting multiple displays or a projector
Open System Preferences, click Displays, and then click Arrangement.
Open the Display arrangement pane of Displays preferences
Follow the onscreen instructions.
You can also show the same image on all the displays connected to your computer. This is called “video mirroring.”
Setting up multiple displays to show the same image
If your computer is connected to more than two displays, you can specify that some are mirrored displays and others show the extended desktop. For example, if you have three displays, you can have two displays showing the same information and the third display showing the extended desktop. To set up a combination of displays showing mirrored and extended desktop images, set up the three displays as an extended desktop, and then Option-drag a display icon onto another display icon to mirror the two displays.
If you are playing a DVD on a television connected to your computer, click the Arrangement button in Displays preferences and move the menu bar to the television. If you don’t see an Arrangement button, your computer is only capable of mirroring (showing the same image on all screens). For more information, see the manual that came with your computer.
