How to use a secondary monitor in Portrait mode

Finally discovered how to do this. Here is how to use a second monitor in portrait mode:
Open System Preferences from your iMac dock.
Click Displays - Click Arrangement - Click Gather Windows - the secondary monitor dialog box opens.
Click Rotation - Click 90 degrees rotation for PORTRAIT MODE.
Click CONFIRM on the secondary monitor to keep Portrait mode.
Select the desired resolution. I chose 1200 x 1920.
You'll see a dialog box that says, "About to change the display mode."
Click OKAY.
Click Confirm. (If it appears. For some resolutions, I did not have to click confirm, most likely because the monitor supports those resolutions.)
Then resize the windows of the software you're using.
Done!

I too got the same. Both monitors went portrait. Then I unchecked the 'Mirror Display' option in the Arrangment tab of iMac display and voila. Got what I wanted.

Can I use an external monitor in portrait mode?

I do not yet own a Mac, but I am doing up-front research to know what to expect.
I currently have a Samsung 204T LCD monitor (DVI) which allows rotating the display into portrait mode.
I know that OS X supports using an external monitor to extend or mirror the desktop. Can an external monitor be configured for operating in portrait mode? I would expect that this requires the video driver to rotate the display before sending it to the monitor.

I will leave this answer to my original question.
I called Apple and was completely disappointed with their answer. They indicated that they would not answer such a question, since they deemed it to be "outside of the scope of Apple support" since my question was deemed "not a consumer-oriented
question."
So yesterday, I took my Samsung SyncMaster 204T monitor to the local Apple retailer to try it out on an actual system. I specifically tried it out on the 24" iMac with the nVidia 7300GT graphics card, since that is the system I was interested in.
It turned out that this monitor works beautifully in portrait mode with the above system using Tiger 10.4.8.
So, I went and bought it!!

How do you change the text in portrait mode.

How do you change the text in portrait mode. I can edit it in landscape, but when I change the view the Latin and photos can't be edited and swapped with my material. Thanks

iBA should be approached like this:
layout in landscape
edit in portrait
- - check in both on your device
Use the 'disable portrait orientation' option (Inspector/Document) for layouts you just don't see working in any manner but landscape.

How to view all secondary monitors on main display

I have 2 secondary monitors plus my 27inch main ... and they all work ! However,What I would like to know is....Is there a way to see the secondary monitors on the main 27 ? ......example : one of the secondary monitors, is in another room .. how can I view whats on that monitor from the main 27in ? Thanks in advance for any/all help ! .. if you have any questions please feel free to ask......

Okay, the DDL method is not going to work. Let me go back to my original question:
I use this command to view the source of a procedure, but I still cannot select source from a remote server across a dblink. How do I specify the remote schema with the user_source?
select line, text
from user_source
where type='PROCEDURE'
and name='MY_PROC1'
order by line;
or this:
...from sys.user_source...
or this:
...from sys.user_source@dblink1...
To APC: Regarding your comments about reading the docs, understanding privileges, decent source control and configuration management, etc., I would like to offer a few arguments which I think invalidates these (your entrenched) assumptions about proper Oracle development and the use of forums. Contact me offline if you are interested in learning more about the superior approach to development my work embodies.

How To: Use FCPX to create iPhone Portrait Movies (and other non-standard formats)

Goal: Use Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7 to produce a 640x1136 video (iPhone 5 Portrait). You can use these same steps to produce virtually any dimensions you want. My example is for the iPhone 5, in Portrait mode.
This information is available in various places, but you have to realy work to find it, so I thought I'd post a step-by-step guide here.
By the way, you might think you could just create a FCPX Project with your desired dimensions, but you can't (at least with 10.0.7). Projects only support certainly dimensions. But there are other ways, as the rest of this post describes:
1) Create an initial movie with the desired dimensions, to serve as a template. We'll call it "Template.mov". The only thing that matters is the dimensions. It can be in any codec FCPX understands, and virtually any length.
I'm using a 2 second video shot on my iPhone for the template. You could also create a blank image (.png, whatever) with the proper dimensions, copy and paste it into a new Quick Time Pro 7 window, and Export it using custom settings. There's lots of different ways to do this.
2) Drop Template.mov into a FCPX event.
3) Select Template.mov in the Event browser, and select File->Duplicate (or command-D). You probably could just edit "Template.mov", but it's a good idea to save it for reuse.
3) Change the name of the copied video. I'm using "iPhone Video".
4) Right-click "iPhone Video" and select "Open in Timeline".
5) If you made the Template video from a still image, you may need to change the duration (ctrl+D). You don't have to make it very long, but it needs to be longer than 1 frame. A few seconds should be enough.
6) Use this timeline like you'd use a project's timeline. Drop in new content, trim, transition, etc. There may be things you can't do in it, but I haven't found any yet. I'm guessing Chapters may not work, but I haven't tried them.
7) Note that when you drop new content into the timeline, it may size funny. That's because the default setting for "Spacial Conform" is "Fit". Simply select the newly-dropped content, and in the Video settings inspector, scroll down to "Spacial Conform" and change it. You could use "Fill", which fills the frame vertically, or "None", which uses the source's original height. Then crop/transform/whatever to get what you want.
8) When you're ready to render, select "iPhone Video" in the Event browser, then use the "Share" button. You want to use the "Export File" destination, which you may have to add. Pick your codec, and let 'er rip.
9) When the rendering is done, you should have a video in your desired dimensions.
That's all there is to it. Hope this helps someone.

PS: Don't ask why someone would want to create an iPod video using FCPX. The point is that you may need to create a video with non-standard dimensions at some point in time, and this is how to do it.
PPS: Most of this information came from http://library.creativecow.net/articles/payton_t/FCPX_Custom-Resolution-Timeline s/video-tutorial. I just wrote it down, while I tried to do what the video suggested.

Instructions for using QuickTime Pro 7 to create a template video with unusual dimensions.
I suspect that anyone savy enough to be using FCPX has probably already figured out how to do this, either using my technique or another, so there probably isn't a real need for me to post this. For that matter, I may be the only person who cares about this at all. However, while I was trying to learn how to do all of this, I would have really appreciated having all the information in one place, so here goes.
If you want to create a video with unusual dimensions (like 640x1136) using my steps above, you'll need a "template" video first. Here's an easy way to create one, using any image editor, and QuickTime Pro 7.
1) Open QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP for short).
2) From the menu, select File->New Player. You'll get a window with just the bottom portion of the player, i.e. the playback controls.
3) Using an image editor, create a still image in the desired dimensions. You can use any image editor. It doesn't matter what the image contains (although it will end up showing as a thumbnail in FCPX).
4) Copy the image to the clipboard.
5) Switch back to QTP, and paste the image into the new player. Don't worry that there isn't a video window showing - just paste it into the window that has only playback controls. As soon as you do, the video window appears.
6) Advance to the end of the movie (the short, 1-frame movie), then hold down Command+V (paste) and keep holding it down to paste multiple images in. Watch the time advance. You could, if you want, just hold down Command+V until you get the length you want. But if you want a long video, there's an easier way:
7) When you reach a few seconds (or whatever duration your patience allows), select all (Command+A) and copy (Command+C). Then hold down Command+V to keep pasting in the longer clips. Wait until you reach a longer duration, then repeat the process. So, for example, 1 second, then 10 seconds, then 1 minute, then 10 minutes, then 1 hour. Or whatever you want.
8) Save the video however you want. I usually use File->Export with H.264, with Quality set to "Least". Just make sure you don't let it change the dimensions. If you resized the player window, depending on which "save" or "export" method you've chosen, it might default to the resized dimensions, so double check that to make sure.
That's it. You now have a template video you can use with my previous post(s).

How to use a 4K monitor together with others?

I try to make use of a 4k monitor (ASUS 28 inch) together with two others (1920 x 1200). Either I can see almost no menus on the 4K display or the other monitors display magnified images. All windows I drag from one monitor to the other are somewhat distorted. The worst effect is on Parallels with WIN 7. All icons are minimized.
Is there an acceptable way to use the stuff conveniently?

I too got the same. Both monitors went portrait. Then I unchecked the 'Mirror Display' option in the Arrangment tab of iMac display and voila. Got what I wanted.

5k imac + 4k external monitor in portrait mode

I was told that the new 5k imac can support one external 4k display via thunderbolt, but the 5k imac cannot itself be rotated into portrait mode (on a vesa mount for example). If I connect an external 4k display via thunderbolt to the new 5k imac, can the external display be rotated into portrait mode so I can have 3840 pixels vertically on the 4k display?

They are right about the increasing of rpm. However I am not sure about the cause of this problem. This is a issue I had on my 27-inch iMac Late 2013 and there is two ways you can try to fix it:
1/ Rotate the display at 270º rather than 90º
2/ Use an application compatible with your system to monitor and control your fan speed

Terrible performance on 2nd monitor in portrait mode

I have the newest model 27" iMac. I have a second monitor plugged in via mini displayport. Everything was fine until Mountain Lion upgrade. Now, the second monitor, when in portrait mode, stutters very badly when I swipe between desktops. It is very annoying. It is fine when in landscape mode, but I use it in portrait mode and it's terrible.

You need to submit the bug to Apple, I believe some people have complained of this during testing from what I have seen on some apple fan sites.

How to use Reader in non-interactive persistent mode to convert PDFs?

How to use Adobe Acrobat Reader in non-interactive and persistent mode to convert PDFs to PostScript (or even better, bitmapped image files) ?
At present, I'm using
acroread -toPostScript indir/*pdf outdir/
to convert a set of PDFs to PostScript (the platform is Solaris on Sparc).
These PDFs arrive at varying rates at arbitrary intervals and I'd like to avoid the overhead of startup of the acroread process and loading of the fonts etc. I would like the acroread process to become persistent and that it should convert the PDFs either as and when they become available or on demand (ie upon receipt of some signal or message).
In the words, the usage is similar to that used by web browsers, which is effectively a client of the rendering service provided by the Adobe Acrobat Reader running in the background.
The only difference is that I need the output in a file (or set of files), either bitmap or PostScript.
Any help / pointers on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and best regards.

Hello,
As I understand, you would like to setup a watch folder which will be getting pdf files in arbitrary intervals. You then want each pdf to be converted to ps in a separate folder.
You could achieve this with the help of a script by polling for pdf files present in the watch folder. When you find pdf files, convert them to ps, save the ps file in another folder and then move the pdf to another folder.
In any case, once the process of conversion of pdf to ps is over, acroread will quit.
There is no way to keep the acroread process running in background and convert pdfs as and when they are available.
Please let me know if this answers your query.
Regards,
Rishi

Setting a monitor into portrait mode in OS X 10.1

Is there any way I can set a monitor to display a portrait mode? (f.g. making 1024 x 768 into 768 x 1024) I am certain you can't do this with OS X 10.1, but is there any software utility that can "trick" it?

Hi, kittytom200x. If the monitor wasn't designed to pivot and didn't come with a 10.1-compatible proprietary driver to enable rotating the displayed image and relocating the menu bar, I seriously doubt that you're going to find any way to accomplish that. Particularly not in OS X 10.1, which was far from complete and full-featured (to say the least!), and supported few hardware tweaks or customizations.

Safari 5.0.6 opens in landscape always on one profile . how can I change this back to portrait mode . Thank you .

Frustrated in that I am unable to reset Safari to open in portrait mode in my profile (Admin) . It continually opens in landscape . Other 2 profiles on the iMac open always in portrait mode . Have tried resetting Safari , reviewed Safari Preference & System Preferences but can't find the option . Please help a frustrated nerd .

Not sure what you mean by portrait and landscape. Are you referring to full screen mode by chance?
Click View from the Safari menu bar top of your screen. From the drop down menu you can click Enter or Exit Full Screen.
With Safari open, Command + , (comma) opens Safari Preferences. Or from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences.
There aren't any options for full screen mode in Safari > Preferences... only from the menu bar, (View).

How to use audit to monitor sp runing and time?

Suppose I have a stored procedure mysp, I want to monitor when the sp is called and running and how much time the sp running(when it's started and when it ends).
Is it possible to use ase auditing to monitor it and record the data in sysaudits_nn table? if yes, how to configure audit for specific sp?

I try this for single proc, like:
sp_audit 'exec_procedure', 'all', 'dbname.dbo.myproc' ,'on'
it is fine. Then I try to do this for all sp. try following:
sp_audit 'exec_procedure', 'all', 'all' ,'on'
it's not working. give me error:
11:31:25.438
DBMS
mysyb -- Number (18228) Severity (16) State (1) Server (MYSYB) Procedure (sp_audit) 'all' is not a valid object name.
how to fix it? I want to monitor on calling on all sp in user database.

How to use thread to monitor a file

Hi
I have a situation where i want to monitor a file while current java process is running, for example
The process would be like below,i have to do it using Java 1.4
1 Start Main Java Class
2 Start Another thread to monitor a file, from this main Java Class
3 Return control back to main java class to do future processing
4 When the process in this class is done, kill the monitor process.
5 If the file is modified by external process, do some processing in the thread,
What i did was as below, the main java class
Thread t = new Thread(new TestOptimizationThreadWorker());
t.run();
// continue doing the process
t.stop();the other thread class is as below
public class TestOptimizationThreadWorker implements Runnable
     public void run()
          // monitor the external file here
}But some how the control does not come back to main program after i run the thread,
Any suggestions

Hi
Yes after changing, t.run() to t.start(), it works, but what are the issues you see,
i have attached the whole code below
Java Main Class
public class TestOptimizationThread
     public TestOptimizationThread()
     public String doMessage()
          TestOptimizationThreadWorker tt =     new TestOptimizationThreadWorker();
          Thread t = new Thread(tt);
          System.out.println ("In Do message");
          try
               System.out.println ("Before starting thread");
               t.start();
               System.out.println ("After starting thread");
          catch(Exception exc)
          finally
               System.out.println ("in finally");
               tt.changeB();
          return "";
     public static void main(String args[])
         new TestOptimizationThread().doMessage();
}Java Thread class
public class TestOptimizationThreadWorker implements Runnable
     private boolean b = true;
     public TestOptimizationThreadWorker()
          System.out.println ("Creating this class ");
     public void run()
          System.out.println ("In Run Method");
          int i =0;
          while(b)
               System.out.println ("int "+ i);
               i++;
     public void changeB()
          b = false;
