HT201343 Is there any way to put your monitor to sleep while you use Airplay?

I've been using Steam as virtually a home game console since I found the ability to pair my iMac with my Apple TV for Airplay. The only problem I have is there seems to be no setting for putting your monitor to sleep while you Airplay to Apple TV. Since both end up in use, I'd rather the monitor be off or I would simply just play off that, although the TV is much bigger!
Also another feature I'm not sure of is Airplaying a program while the computer is still in use. For example, I wish I could Airplay my Steam games to my TV while my girlfriend watched a movie or looked at Facebook at the same time. That would be epic.

I usually use my MBP 13 (mid 2009) in Extended Desktop mode with a Dell 17" external display (and the MBP in Clamshell mode). I have 2 questions:
1. After putting the MBP into Clamshell (by closing the lid), on waking up the external display the latter has the wrong resolution. I discovered that I can correct this by repeating the action, ie putting it back to sleep and re-waking it. At that point, the external display is at its best (1280 x 1024). But having to do it twice is kind of annoying. How can I avoid that?
2. Before I got my MBP, I used the same Dell display with an Acer Windows 14" notebook. The resolution on the Dell using the Acer was better than it is with the MBP. I am thinking of getting a new external display to replace the Dell, maybe a 19" or 20". Is there a particular type of display that will produce the best resolution/image with the MBP 13?
Thanks

Hello cgbuehling
You can, but only the purchases that were made from the iTunes Store. Other content that was imported from a CD or other sources will not transfer over.

Is there any way to put the values inthe system matrix which is non editabl

is there any way to put the values inthe system matrix which is non editable...
this Q is not that much priority since i had achieved the requirement other way round by having user defined matrix ... but if i get the way for this it will help my add on performance much better...

Hi Raj, I didnt get all the details but here some ideas how you can solve your issue:
Depending in the system form you are working you can always use a DBDataSource in order to manipulate the rows in a matrix. It's much better as using the objects of the matrix itself. In this case you can use:
oMatrix.FlushToDataSource()
oDBDsource.SetValue("U_Quan", pVal.Row, "101")
oMatrix.Clear()
oMatrix.LoadFromDataSource()
As you can see in SetValue i'm obtaining the Column, then the row number and then setting a NEW value for this cell.
Please consider if you can use DBDataSource instead of UserDataSource.
If the answer is yes then you can use the following:
oMatrix.FlushToDataSource()
'//Get the line you want
matrix.GetLineData(pval.row)
'//Call the Userdatasource assigned to that column
UserDataSource = UserDataSources.Item("ItmCode")
'//Set the new value
m_UserDS.ValueEx = "A02520"
oMatrix.LoadFromDataSource()
You can also use:
oMatrix.Columns.Item("ItemName").Cells.Item(l_rownum).Specific.String = "A02520"
In case you are not assigning the string in a combobox of course.
Good luck!

Is there any way to put the mini calendar on the monthly calendar as in Leopard?

I downloaded Lion about a month ago and the only dislike is ical. For one is there any way to put the mini calendar on the monthly display as it was in Snow Leopard. It makes it much easier instead of flip flopping back and forth to see last month or previous months?

Is Aperture not launching at all? Then update Aperture like Ernie recommended. You'll need version 3.5.1, or 3.4.5 with Mavericks. If you have any Aperture 3 version, you should be able to update for free.
After updating Aperture, make sure you have a backup copy of your Aperture library, before opening it in the new version. Click the Aperture library, to open Aperture on your library.
Or, is the problem, that Aperture opened on an empty library? Then check the file system on the drive with your Aperture library. It may have the wrong formatting. Then move your Aperture library to a drive formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled). Click the

Hi Icebreaker
Thanks for getting back to me.
I successfully upgraded the Firmware to the latest available on the site - I don't have the camera here to confirm the vesion number but the upgraded Firmware was reported in the setup application.
WPA is AES, which is all that the Thomson router seems to support and I did notice that the camera was looking for TKIP. However, I have tried with WEP and no security to test, with no luck either. I am testing with the camera within 10 feet or so of the router and getting an error message re. checking network condition and the Network doesn't seem to even 'See' the camera as such and the Wireless LED is not lighting up. That's why I was wondering if the Wireless was faulty.
thanks again

I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them only as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to? If you do then bring it in and then use iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows: make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library. But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB. That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash. You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.
