How to physically hook up for extended dual display

This was originally posted in another wrong topic section today, which was incorrect.
I have a flat panal PC (windows XP) as well as my iMac G5. I would like to hookup the iMac to the PC so that I can extend my PC Desktop onto the iMac. I have a Apple Video Adapter if that is of any help. If this is possible, what would be the physical hookup for this type of arrangement? Once that is done, I think I can get the displays working through the Display/Settings on the PC.
Thanks

You can do the reverse, using ScreenRecycler mentioned above. That is, using the Windows PC as a second display for the iMac. It has some limitations, because you are using the network connection for the video. However, I do not know of any such program that works in the other direction.
The video port on the iMac is for output only. The only other way to get video into the iMac is using some type of USB interface device, but those are usually designed for capturing video, so it would probably be unsatisfactory, and for the cost of such as device, you could probably buy a low-end LCD display and have a real second screen connected using a real video port.

  • How to write the logic for extending Idocs...

    Hi,
          Can anybody pls explain how to write the logic for extending IDOCs with an example...
          Good suggestions can be appreciated..
    Regards,
    Ram

    Hi Ram,
    Generally the IDoc user exit is called at the following places:
      1) When the control record is read.
      2) After each and every segment in the data record
      3) At the end of the data segment processing.
    The IDoc user exit interface generally imports IDOC_DATA (data record internal table) table. Now the data records in the internal table should appear in the same order as maintained while defining IDoc structure (WE30 transaction). For SAP standard segment SAP code will take care of this. For extended segment you will have to take care of this aspect by appending the Z-segment in the IDOC_DATA table.
    You can do this by:
             looping at IDOC_DATA table:
                 - Do a case-endcase fo IDOC_DATA-SEGNAM (This stores the segment 
                   structure as per the hierarchy).
                 - Within the case for "Z-segment" you can write the logic for appending
                   the Z-segment to IDOC_DATA-SDATA.
    Hope this gives some clue.
    Regards,
    Gajendra.

    how to integrate bing map for including or displaying multiple locations at the same time

    Have you aware of the geolocation field that's been introduced with SharePoint 2013?  You can store location data within a list and then integrate this within Bing.  The second tutorial on this Bing team blog will show it well.

  • How do I set up for extending my non-apple wi-fi network with Airport Express?

    I have Trendnet router that I use for providing wi-fi capabilities in my home.  The problem is that it is set up in my basement and it doesn't extend to the back of the house.  I'm also having problems setting up my wireless printer with this setup.  I thought that by getting a AE, I could take care of these two things.  I could set up the AE upstairs to repeat the wireless signal and at the same time have an easier set up (as in an apple).  But, I'm not sure how to set it up.  Can someone help?

    Do you have a separate modem and Trendnet router now, or is the Trendnet a gateway....combination modem/router in one box?  If you add another AirPort at this location, it will need to connect to a modem, or it could connect to your Trendnet router and you could turn off the wireless on the Trendnet
    If you go wireless all the way, what is the approximate distance between the "main" router and the "remote" AirPort?  How many walls will be in the signal path?  How are these walls constructed?
    In general....I have found that power line works better than wireless....unless you have a very good wireless connection. If you take your computer to the remote area where the extender will be located, and you can get a good, solid wireless signal, you are probably OK.  The Express can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives.
    But will the wireless setup for video streaming (which is my main goal) be reliable?
    Questions like this cannot be answered because it is just not possible to predict wireless performance and results in advance of any installation.  The products might be great....but other wireless networks around you or cordless phones cause interference problems.
    In this regard, If I only had one chance at a network, I would go with wired connections over wireless.
    If you go with the 2 AirPort Express plan, I would suggest that you still have a "Plan B" if wireless does not deliver the performance you want. Personally, I would never try to stream video, especially high definition, over wireless here at the house, but it can work if everthing else falls into place....and the planets are in the right alignment.

  • How to disable dialog box for ending document display

    I have a wf item that has a pdf attachment.  Every time the attachment is opened, a dialog box appears stating:
    1. Switch to the window of your PC application to display the document
    2. Close your document
    3. Press "Continue" in the R/3 window
    I've tracked it back to screen 0300 in LS025002.
    It's only informational and shows up after the attachment has already been opened and closed.
    How do I stop this dialog box from appearing?

    Those little popup boxes are called tooltips and they are programmed into the page. As iBod says, they cannot be disabled.
    There are a couple of things you can do on pages you know have tooltips. There is a time delay of a couple or three seconds before the first tooltip appears. So one way to keep their appearance to a minimum is to make up your mind before you move to an item to click on it and to not hover on items with tooltips for any amount of time. Also, if a series of menus or items all have tooltips, the time delay only exists for the first one. If you immediately move to the next item, the tooltip appears instantaneously. So with such a series, if you move completely off the series, the time delay will be reinstated.

    hi,
    you can do it.
    after declaring the catlog table you will give as
    wa_catlog-seltext_l = 'material'.
    wa_catlog-datatype = 'char'.
    wa_catlog-outputlen = 18.
    wa_catlog-fieldname = 'matnr'.
    append wa_catlog to i_catlog.
    clear wa_catlog.
    wa_catlog-seltext_l = 'plantl'.
    wa_catlog-datatype = 'char'.
    wa_catlog-outputlen = 4.
    wa_catlog-fieldname = 'werks'.
    append wa_catlog to i_catlog.
    clear wa_catlog.
    similarly what sequence you give here i.e. material  ,  plant  etc. you get the output in the same oder you can even give only the fields you want in the output.
    rewards points if useful.

  • Colour management warning for dual display users

    For those of you who require a colour managed workflow and have more than one display, be very careful in Mountain Lion. It appears to have a bizarre bug where images loaded and shown on the primary display (e.g. in Preview) are initially rendered with the colour profile from the secondary display, or something along those lines. Dragging the display window to the secondary display and back again sorts things out. I've filed a bug report.
    If your two (or more) monitors have the same colour profile, you won't have a problem. The only workaround I can see is to set your least important display(s) to all have the same profile as your (probably calibrated, if these things matter to you) primary display, at least until (if?) the bug gets fixed.
    If you want to see it for yourself, set your two displays to differing profiles - e.g. NTSC (1953) on the primary and Wide Gamut RGB on the secondary. Then load an image into Preview - something with lots of shades of red "works" well for the colour profiles mentioned. Take a screenshot of the Preview window as a reference. Move the window to the secondary display; note the colour shift as it gets re-rendered. Now drag it back to the primary display. It'll look quite different compared to the screenshot you took earlier, despite the fact it's the same image being shown by the same application on the same display in the same window... All you did was drag the window between two monitors and back again.
    It doesn't seem to matter if the image in question has a colour profile embedded in it or not. When comparing with your screenshot, feel free to drag the screenshot between the monitors too - after all, it'll be suffering the same rendering bug! You'll still see a different result; in fact it may even be magnified by the accumulated rendering errors.
    Preview isn't the only application affected; I've seen identical issues under harder to replicate circumstances in Safari, for example.
    Given this fault and others I've seen with colour rendering in Lion, plus several new bugs found in Mountain Lion, I'm afraid that if a colour managed workflow is important to you - well - Snow Leopard or Windows...?! Ugh, what a mess

    I've encountered many of the same woes with color management being a graphic designer, but here's my issue:
    Have a 15" (Early 2011) Macbook Pro.  It is turned on with me hooked up to my Dell U2410 and display open for a dual display configuration.  The Dell is my primary monitor. 
    I then unplug my MBP to use it around the house.  I go to plug it back into the Dell for my dual monitor.  I notice that the color on the Dell looks good, but now the MBP has a very blue color temperature.  Like moving from the preconfigured 'Color LCD' profile to 'sRGB' which definitely shifts to a blue color on the MBP. 
    I check the color profiles in System Settings and the Color profiles are correct.  'Dell U2410' for my Dell and 'Color LCD' for my MBP.  But as I said, it's much bluer than standard.  I try to change the color profiles around on the MBP and no matter which I select it's always the same color with no shifts I would expect to see. 
    Only solution I have found is to restart my computer.  Upon restarting all is well again in the world.
    It's pretty annoying having to restart my computer everytime I plug it back into my workstation with Dell and keyboard. 
    Related note: USB does not work when I plug things back and again have to restart to fix this.

  • Mavericks and Dual Display not working as documented

    Hi all. Ok..something a little wierder here for my dual display scenario. I have two Samsung Syncmaster 2443 monitors. 15" MBP Retina purchased this year. Running in Clamshell Mode.
    I can get dual monitors happening (extended) but I cannot get the menu bar to come over as well. As mentioned in other posts, I need to tick the box in Mission Control "Displays have seperate spaces". The only problem is, that particular menu item is NOT there. All I have is the other 4 items. So how is it that this menu item does not exist on my installation?
    In this current setup, each time I reboot the display's also get reveresed, which is really annoying. I have to reboot twice to get back to my original layout.
    Any idea's?
    Tks

    you're faking out your machine to THINK it has 2 real displays and you expect Keynote to work? Keynote is THE most intense app I've ever seen for screen drawing. It basically takes over your entire machine to do its work. It doesn't surprise me that that trick doesn't work with it.
    My guess is you're going to have to wait till you have the actual projector and adapter to test your dual screen setup.

  • Wacom tablet on dual display dual card setup...

    ...and the cards are as follows, one Geforce GTX 460 (nvidia driver), one Radeon x1650 (radeon driver) As such, I have to use Xinerama and not RandR for my dual display setup. I have configured the driver to use my main display (Dell CRT on GTX 460) and the cursor shows up where it's supposed to, but when I draw, the cursor "splits" into two, the actual cursor, and the drawing cursor. The regular cursor moves as if it's on my main display, but the drawing cursor spans both desktops.
    I've tried all kinds of things to make it work, no luck though.

    If I remember correctly, I just used --nodeps and maybe --force when installing the nvidia driver, that way it didn't force me to uninstall the radeon driver when I install the nvidia driver. Then, look at my xorg.conf. there's no acceleration of any sort on the ati card, but I can use it for terminals and browser windows, text editors and the like. Can't watch flash videos on it though, and I don't think mplayer works on it either, I'm not at my arch box atm, so I can't verify that.
    Also, as mentioned in my opening post, no composting either. The same setup works pretty good in Ubuntu with a similar config, but no compositing there either, Unity clones 1680x1050 of my main 2048x1536 display, can't split the desktops, and I just end up using Xfce4 because it handles Xinerma pretty well.. I have to turn off the compositing extension in the config on arch to get X to even start up.
    :edit:
    back in arch, should note that whenever I install a new package, I receive this warning. Everything still works tghough as I describes. And back on topic, anyone have any clue as to why my tablet behaves this way?

    Living in an apartment, here it has only wireless (no wired cable in the room) signal using for the internet connection. I've  an airport express (new) ,so how can I do for extending signal (wireless) for using in myroom. because the wireless signal is so weak.

    Unfortunately, you won't be able to. In order to do so, you would have to configure both the AirPort Express and the other wireless router for a WDS. Since it will unlikely that the other router is another AirPort, nor will you have the ability to administer it, you won't be able to get this accomplished.

    Mike,
    I was successful, in a test I just conducted, to get Siri to record your problem statement in a Note file on the iPod as I used the Edit > Speech feature in Safari to play the text. I don't see why dictation wouldn't work as well. Why not give it a try?
    If you don't have an iOS device to try this with, you could write your audio file to a CD and use an external player to get audio to the Mac.
