I need to display a keynote on 2 flat screens with my MacBook Air via hdmi. I am not sure how to do it.
I Am giving a presentation and was just informed that I will be using 2 flat screen tvs as my monitors and I need to use hdmi cables. I am lost as to how to do this. I know there is a thunderbolt to hdmi adapter but is there a splitter so I can put it on both tvs.
is there a splitter so I can put it on both tvs.
To be precise, you must use an HDMI distributor: Kramer VM-2HXL

Please anyone help me please!
If you don't have Time Machine or an External USB Hard Drive for Storage, I hate to say this but you may have to erase and re-install your Operating System.
If you didn't empty the trash after you threw the Application Folder in the trash you can click on the trash and when it opens you can drag the Applications folder to the Desktop and drag and drop it back to the Mac HD. -
I need to program a Hittite Fractional-N Synthesizer Evaluation Kit with a HMC702LP6CE an external YIG oscillator. Not sure how to use Labview to control the PLL.
Here is how to use the PLL. But I don't know of how to interact with that device

I have a macbook pro. what equipment do i need to watch my computer on my flat screen tv?
i have a macbook pro. what equipment do i need to watch my computer on my flat screen tv? thank you.
Step 1. Peek in the back of the TV and identify what kind of inputs it has. Ideally, you'd want an HDMI socket, followed by a DVI or in worst case, analog VGA. Try to determine what's the "native resolution" of the panel.
Step 2. Based on what you find, peruse in the Apple Store (Mac Accessories / Cables section, if online) for the appropriate dongle/converter. One end goes to the Thunderbolt/MiniDisplay Port on the Mac, other end depending on the output to feed to the TV. Also buy the corresponding cable of the desired length.
Step 3. Plug everything together. You have to decide whether to use display mirroring (Mac & TV show the same thing) or separate displays (each shows different stuff).
Step 4. Based on 1 and 3, open System Preferences / Displays and adjust screen resolution(s) for optimum viewing pleasure. The Mac's display usually far exceeds the external display's max resolution capabilities, so you have to downsize as needed, if in mirroring mode.
Step 5. Enjoy the results.
Edit: If your TV has HDMI input AND your MacBook Pro is a Retina, you can skip the first half of step 2. The Mac already has HDMI output port, so you just need the cable. -
Not sure how i should go about creating this flash to accomplish what i need.
First let me start by saying my flash file is currently 740kb
in .swf form and I'm not done with it. I'm taking this which was
developed from another developer and trying to customize it to work
for what i need. The flash was bought from template monster. I'm
using actionscript 2.0 in the flash.
Is 740kb big for a flash file that is basically an entire
website?
I'm trying to make this flash load as fast as possible while
implementing the best practices so i can use it for future
projects. Also i would like advice on using various techniques to
accomplish some functionality.
The flash file i'm working on is basically like a brochure
for a client. It consists of "8" main pages, along with several sub
pages.
I have the following questions though.
1. Currently the navigation is on the left hand side, and has
a mouse over animation as well as sound effects with rollover and
being clicked. The mouseover effect just moves the text to the
right a little and brings it back to the original position..
However each button in is an individual movie symbol.
- Should I consolidate the navigation so it's one movie
symbol instead of 8 movie symbols on one page? Keeping in mind that
even if i do make it just 1 symbol i might need to add the 8
navigation movie symbols into that one to maintain the animation.
- Should the buttons even be movie symbols or is there a
better way this should be done?
2. Because of the text for each page, I was using adobes
built in scrolling component for the dynamic text boxes.
Considering there is more then 8 dynamic text instances converted
to graphic symbols.... Is there a more efficient way of doing this,
or is the above method just fine?
3. The flash file contains a photo gallery. Currently all the
images from the gallery are in the same flash file. I was thinking
it would be more efficient to load the images in the gallery from
external .swf files. However i'm not sure if that would be the best
method, and i'm also not sure how to correctly accomplish within
standards.
4. I would like to implement a contact form within the flash
so users can contact me.
5. I would also like to have a testimonials page where users
can submit testimonials. However i'm not sure how to create the
form, but i had an idea on displaying the text in the flash using
xml so it can be easily updated . Just not sure on the proper and
more efficient way of doing this.
6. I would also like an event calendar that displays within
the flash. Was thinking of having this loaded from an external .swf
file as well. Would like the calendar to be xml based so I can
update it myself. Don't need nothing advance, just something that
says "Busy", "Not Busy", and "Book" which would just take them back
to the contact form to book me.
I know many of you don't know who i am, but I would really
appreciate some assistance. Whether its sample flash files, links
to tutorials, advice, anything.
I really want to do all of the above, but also as i'm
learning i would like to make sure i'm doing the above in the most
efficient way possible and up to standards while also keeping the
size low. Would like to do it right the first time, so as i
continue making flash files in the future I'm not writing sloppy
actionscript coding, having sloppy timelines, and or having sloppy
structure in my .fla files.
Also i know alot of you are very busy people, and i'm not
asking for you to do the flash for me but any and all help will be
very greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for you comments, advice, and replies.
:)Wow, you're really looking to get your money's worth here. :)
I haven't read through your entire list of questions, but
I'll do what I can to help - others here will probably have
different ideas, so feel free to pick and choose which (if any - or
all) you want to integrate.
1. So far, my experience has been that the people that create
the templates on TemplateMonster have a pretty good handle on what
they are doing, and have done what they do for a pretty good
reason. Unless you are quite good at ActionScript, I probably
wouldn't make any major changes to the back end. After all, you
bought the template for a reason. If you want to move the buttons
around the stage, great - edit them to change the colors, great.
But to try to create a button array may be more than you want to
bite into here. That said, it can be done. I've done it. If you
want a sample of the code, drop me an e-mail and I'll send it to
you. FYI: I only do AS3.0 at this point. If your template is in AS2
then one of the other Flash gods would be better suited for code
samples.
1a. The buttons are movie clips for a reason - flexibility.
Leave them as movie clips unless you really like migraines.
2. I hate having to convert text to symbols, but sometimes it
is the most efficient (or only) way to do things. If you want to do
any tweens with the text, it has to be a symbol.
3. You can load the photos from external SWF's or you can
load the JPG's directly using XML. If you are using AS3, I know
that there is tight, simple integration with XML. I'd review a
couple tutorials on XML from some place like www.tutorialized.com
to get a feel for it. Also, look up "Working with XML" in the Flash
Help file (F1). Once you have decided on an approach, come back
here with specific questions and you will get good answers.
4. Doable. Search these forums for "Email from Text Box".
This was covered several times in the last couple of days.
5. XML is one option. You can even have XML give a photo of
the person doing the testimonial and load it all into a single
page. What you can do with this is limited only by your
imagination. This is a very broad question.
6. Someone posted a message about a calendar on here today.
Search for "Calendar" and I'm sure you will get some ideas from
there. Also (and again) www.tutorialized.com is a great resource
for general code and ideas.
You're right, we don't know you. And guess what? That doesn't
matter. We are equal opportunity abusers here. :) I mean that with
the kindest grin.
The things you have asked are very broad in nature and
therefore are quite difficult to give specific answers. We are
always happy to help you when you get stuck, and even to spend a
great deal of time walking you through a specific topic. However,
what you've asked here would take a six-week course to answer to
the level you will need. Grab some free code. Try it out. Play with
it. Break it. The Flash gods will rescue you. But remember, the
more specific your question, the better answer you will get.
I hope this helps (at least some). -
I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

To add to my original question: I had a 1st generation ipad and 32GB was more than enough storage now I'm having trouble making movies, adding media, etc. I have bought another 15GB of storage on I cloud. Can I put all of my apps on i cloud?
I'm going to be taking an overseas flight and wanted to rent a bunch of movies but I'm not sure how to do that.
I would be grateful for any help
sherrislpTo answer your question, you could remove your apps and then download them again as needed. Your purchased apps are part of what is stored in iCloud and purchased apps do not count against the allotment anyway - As far as I know.
You would want to backup to iCloud before you delete the apps. If it were me, I would also back up and sync with iTunes - I still use iTunes and I back up to both iCloud and iTunes.
The suggestion that James made would be OK for bringing the movies with you on the trip .... But you need to be able to use WiFi in order to use the device and the way that I read your question, you want to download movies to watch on the flight. So that will not work on the airline flight. It would store the content for later viewing but won't work on the flight. That is my understanding of the GoFlex drive, but you would have to investigate it further.

Hi,
I have an iPhone and I sync playlists to it from iTunes. (I have far in excess of 16GB of music/podcasts.)
What I want to do is permanently share my music library with all devices in the house, so I'm planning on buying a NAS server that has a built-in iTunes server. (I don't want to just use my computer to share and leave it on 24/7 because that is a phenominal waste of power.) That way all networked computers can just load the library under the 'SHARED' option in the left pane. However, this had me wondering about how I will continue to sync my music to my iPhone? I wondered if I will need to maintain a duplicate of the library on one of my computers, and then have my iPhone sync with that. Otherwise I'm not sure how it'll work.
Any help/comments/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Tom.Incidentally, my first thought was to map a network share from the NAS to my computer, so that my music files appear on the Z: drive, say on my computer. I could then set up iTunes to store music etc in that folder, and to copy all new items to that folder. However, if I do that, all that'll happen is that on my NAS, the library file will become out of date as I add music to the collection but not to the index.

I lost all my events on iphone prior to 2015 and this is not nice as I often need to look back on past dates they are on my Macbook air but how can I get them back to my phone
They're not lost, they simply don't show because you settings ask it not to.
Go to Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendar --> Calendar --> Sync --> All events -
iCloud password works on everything but erasing all data. I got a new iPhone and need to wipe this one but am not sure how else to do this since the password is not working. Any suggestions?
Firefox also makes regular backups of your bookmarks in a folder named bookmarkbackups in your personal settings folder. You can restore the backup to your new Firefox, but unlike importing the HTML-format file, it is a complete drop-in replacement, so if you have saved new bookmarks you do not want to lose, the export/import method may work better for you.
By default, Windows hides your personal settings folder so the easiest way to access it is from inside Firefox. You can use either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This will launch a window showing your Firefox settings files.
You might want to back up this whole folder if you have other data you want to preserve from your XP computer.
Either way, you should find the bookmarkbackups folder here and when you click into it, find maybe 10 files with dates in their names.
The procedure to restore the file once you have it on removable media or some other convenient place is described in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
Regarding the other files and what you might find of use: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]. -
Using an external display with the macbook air
hi, i wanna know if i can use an external display with the macbook air as the tunderbolt is a bit pricey? i was thinking about buyin a LCD moniter wih a VGA port. many thanks
Yes. You can use VGA DVI or HDMI monitors by buying a Minidisplay port to xxx adapter and the the appropriate cable (vga, dvi or hdmi).
The MiniDisplayport adapter plugs into the Thunderbolt port.
Regards,
Captfred
Here's a sample HDMI adapter. All these available in the Apple online store.

I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.
All,
A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
So happy to be done w/this one!
Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

Need to find out how to get a calendar back on my iPad. Pretty new to Apple. Only one pf my 5 calendars was deleted. Do have iCloud backup just not sure how to access. iTunes has never been sync'd with iPad. Thanks for any help.

I am having trouble installing photoshop Lightroom. The program is installed and has some sections blocked off. I have the S/N #... I need it to be confirmed and activated so i can receive an email to activate the system to my computer. I am not sure how to go about doing so.
If you have a serial number, you simply need to enter it into the proper fields.
Since you don't say what version of Lightroom, and what sections are "blocked off", let me guess that you have Lightroom CC, and you need to enter the serial number to turn it into Lightroom 6. Here are the instructions: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Help | Serialize Lightroom CC trial to activate as Lightroom 6
And if that's not the right assumption, then please give us the details. -
My screen freezes after a few seconds on my iphone 5c and the display fades slightly so you can see faint lines in the background. I'm not sure whether this is easily fixable or a major problem. Have reset the device, but this has worked. Any ideas?
To make sure that this is not software related, set it up as new device, explained in this article:
