How to view system resources, double tap on links in second monitor issue.

I'm new to macs and so far so good. I've spent the last few days playing with my new macbook and leopard religiously to get aquainted. Couple of things i can't seem to get the answers to.
1.) Is there something in macos where i can check out the status of my system resources like processor and ram usage? Like in windows it's called the "task manager".
2.) I have an external monitor connected as an expanded desktop, it's located to the right of the macbook main screen. In the right, external screen, when i double tap anything in firefox, the box that shows up is on the left, macbook, screen. Anything you guys have encountered?
Thanks a lot

Hello,
1.) Is there something in macos where i can check out the status of my system resources like processor and ram usage? Like in windows it's called the "task manager".
Use /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor
2.) I have an external monitor connected as an expanded desktop, it's located to the right of the macbook main screen. In the right, external screen, when i double tap anything in firefox, the box that shows up is on the left, macbook, screen. Anything you guys have encountered?
I think this is an issue Firefox team should fix, please report to them. Why double tap ? most links on web page works with a single click, maybe you should try.

If so, go to Settings > Cellular > switch music and iTunes off. Keep in mind that you'll need to turn this back on to shop/download from iTunes.

How to VIEW two tracks's materials SIMULTANEOUSLY and SYNCHRONIZED in MONITORS?

How to VIEW two tracks's materials SIMULTANEOUSLY and SYNCHRONIZED in MONITORS?
"Program-monitor" shows the final edited material, and "Source-monitor" shows only one track at a time, and NOT SYNCHRONIZED with the sequence. "MultiCam-monitor" shows the tracks as I need, BUT editing is very stiff: I want to do edits+cross-fades by hand IN THE TIMELEINE rather than by clicking the monitors. (Some of the "MultiCam-monitor's" other problems: 1) the timeline's time-inspector doesn't move while clicking the monitors, 2) vice-versa: monitor-image doesn't roll when the space-key is pressed for playback the timeline, 3) monitor doesn't show the cross-fades.....) I understand the "Reference-monitor" doesn't help either at this.
I would SO much like to SEE all tracks' materials simultaneously in whatever monitor, to edit efficently in the timeline.
Software: Premiere CS3 version 3.2.0
Operating System: Mac OS X (v10.4)

You can only do this in the multicamera monitor. That's what it's there for. Proper procedure is to cut there, then go to the timeline and add transitions.
If you're multicamera monitor playback isn't working correctly (I admit having a hard time understanding your points here), then try solving those.

How do I use my wireless Led TV as a second monitor using my home network without any cables? Both of them are connected to home network

How do I use my wireless Led TV as a second monitor to my mac book pro using my home network without any cables? Both of them are connected to home network

Having a gateway there is not going to be a problem. We just need to configure the Time Capsule correctly to work with the 2Wire.
You will need one ethernet cable to connect the 2Wire to the Time Capsule and a second ethernet cable to temporarily connect your computer to the Time Capsule so that it can be configured.
The 2Wire you have now should already be broadcasting a wireless network, so once you have the Time Capsule setup, you will actually have two wireless networks there.
Here's how to configure the Time Capsule to work with the 2Wire:
Connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2Wire to the WAN (circle icon) port on the Time Capsule.
Connect another ethernet cable temporarily from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule
Open Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab below the row of icons to assign a name for the Time Capsule, a device password (write this down) and adjust time zone settings
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode....Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name....Your choice
Radio Mode....Automatic
Channel...Automatic
Wireless Security...WPA/WPA2 Personal
Wireless Password....Your choice (write this down)
Check mark next to....Remember password in keychain
Click the Internet icon
At the bottom, change the setting for Connection Sharing to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Click Update at the lower right and the Time Capsule will restart after 20-25 seconds and you should get the green light.
You should now be able to connect to your Time Capsule wireless network.
I'm not clear on whether you have tried to setup the Time Capsule to backup your computer. Post back if you need some info on that. We may need to start another thread for that as that will be a different subject.

How can I disable the double-tap to zoom in function?

I play a game where I must click fast on a button, but tapping the button zooms in/out the screen all the time.
I also don't need to zoom in. Thus, how can I disable the tap to zoom function?

The double tap focuses on elements on the page and to zoom pinching in and out are the main features of zooming in Fennec. Currently there are no ways to disable this feature.

Does anyone know how to check boxes without double tapping

I am trying to create a touch screen form, which needs to be quick to use. I have designed one on numbers but have to double tap to check the box.

if its being done in excel it being done through a macro in the background that checks the "SelectionChange" event. It looks at the current selection and if it is 1x1 (single cell) and in the proper column, then it adds the number.
Sorry to say that *macros are not supported in numbers for ipad* and your current excel file will most likely not work. Although you can open it in numbers and try. I would love to see how it was done if it works.

How do I get my Mac Pro to see the second monitor through a video splitter and/or switcher?

In a recording studio we have a Mac Pro with two video display monitors in the control room and we want to be able to show the content of the second monitor to the person in the recording room on a big display monitor there. However, when we interpose a switcher or splitter between the computer and the second monitor so that we can (with a switcher) switch the second monitor signal from the control room monitor to the record room monitor or (with a splitter) split the signal to go to both monitors, we have no luck. On startup the computer does not see the monitor through the switcher, so it doesn't recognize its existence. If we start the computer up without the switcher in the signal chain, it sees the second monitor just fine, and (weirdly enough) we can then change the cabling to interpose the switch, which then works to switch back and forth between second monitors (control room and record room), but that cable swapping's a royal PITA. We want a simple solution that will allow us to start up the computer, see the second monitor in the control room, then choose to show it to the person in the record room with a simple flip of the switch (or even better, split the signal so it's available both places). The splitter we've tried most recently is this one: http://tinyurl.com/curen39 I'd appreciate any advice from people who have tried this configuration or something similar with success. We have a full ProTools HD Accel 3 system installed, so there's no room to install a second video card. Thanks.

Thanks for the response! Yes, it's a 5x70 video card, a 5770 I believe. In any case, it does have the three ports, but (a not-well documented fact) that doesn't mean one can really get three full-resolution signals out of it at one time, as you alluded to in your message. So, yes, we did try hooking all three up directly to the computer, but the computer would only recognize two of those monitors, and the only way to get it to "de-recognize" the second monitor and recognize the third monitor was to physically disconnect the second monitor.
I did say when you want to connect three monitors to 5x70's there are some rules to adhere to. These are covered in the first two apple docs mentioned above, or by title:
Mac Pro (Mid 2010), Mac Pro (Early 2009): Issues with three displays and multiple DVI, HDMI connections
Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
The general gist of these rules is that to drive three monitor son a 5x70 you need two active adapters. That is why one of your monitors was disabled when you tried to add a third.
Here's a good explanation of what's going in here and why you need two active adapters on these cards:
Active vs. Passive Displayport adapters *the truth*
If you use DVI monitors and any of them have resolutions less than 1920 x 1200 then you can use single link active adapters. The "AMD Eyefinity Validated Dongles" chart shows some active (and passive) adapters that are acceptable. For example of a single link DVI active adapter is the Accell B087B-006B. An example of a dual link DVI active adapter would be the one from monoprice.com if you need to connect monitors with a resolution greater than 1920 x 1200.
I'm doubtful that SwitchResX would be able to convince the computer that there were only two monitors connected and direct the second monitor signal to the correct place, but it certainly seems worth a try, so thanks for the idea! Any other ideas are still welcome in the meantime.
I'm not doubtful. It is a very powerful utility for dealing with all aspects of multiple monitor configurations (they call them "Display Sets") complete with forcing EDID information if necessary. The different configurations can be controlled with a (contextual) menu and/or hot key.
SwitchResX is academic at this point if you want to have all three monitors connected. You would need to get that working first. Then use SwitchResX to vary the configuration combinations. So if you go this route the "name of the game" is figure out the active adapters you need.
I only described in general terms above about the adapters since you never said exactly what kind of connections these monitors require (single link DVI, dual link DVI, hdmi, mini-displayport, vga).

How to view/generate resource utilization report

hi
I have used 3 resources in project , and wanted to know how to generate report of overall individual project utilization.
we don't use any project server here.
Thanks
Ragav

Hi,
Do you use Project 2010 or 2013?
Both versions propose
visual reports with a "resource work summary report" Excel template.
Otherwise if you do not need to export the data in Excel but only to vizualize the data, the resource usage view is an excellent way to see the resources utilization on a project.
Hope this helps,

How to view System.out.print() messages for adapters in OIM 9.0.3

I have created an adaptor for OIM from a java jar file. When that adaptor executes after some updates on tables it produces some execptions/error.
I can not see the details of these exceptions as I do not know where is the standard output located when adapter is executed via OIM.
Where cen I see output from my code lines that contain: System.out.println()?
thanks

I am not sure if logging is enabled as OIM was installed previously by another person - how can I check if it is enabled and how to use log4j in this case?
OIM Design Console window shows no messages comming from my System.out.print() statements.

How to disable home button double tap when locked

Hi. I have an iphone 4s. I listen to A LOT of audio books and frequently find that when I come back to listening after pausing it for an hour or two that it somehow started playing again at some point. It's annoying because it can take me a while to find my original place. Until today I had no idea why this keeps happening. Today I pulled my phone out of my pocket and saw the music controls on my lock screen and it finally dawned on me. Locked apparently doesn't mean locked. For some people this might seem like a convenient feature but for me it's just annoying. Can I turn this off? Thanks!

Hi
Go to Settings-->Audio profiles-->Press/Tap on the mechanic wheel symbol(symbol on the right of each profile) of the ''General'' profile-->Unmark ''Vibrate on touch'' (same goes for the ''Outdoor'' audio profile).
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

How do I connect my mac book pro to a second monitor

I have a macbook pro and want to connect it to a 2nd monitor. How can I do that?

If your MB has a female DVI connector built in, and your monitor has a male dvi plug, you connect the monitor and turn it on.
DVI male connector:
If the MBP does not have a dvi connector, what it has is called a mini dvi. You need an adapter. This is available from the Apple store.
If you are not sure what you have, tell us the Model Identifier for your MBP.
(Apple menu / About This Mac / More Info / Hardware overview includes that info.
