Is it possible to use Mac's Bluetooth and emulate a phone ?

Does anybody know if it is possible to use the Mac and have the Bluetooth interface emulate a phone? Doesn't matter that much which phone model/type.
Background: I have a Nokia 6021, it has a Bluetooth interface and it pairs properly with the Mac. I can browse the phone and backup all addresses from it. No problem.
Now I have a new car, the Toyota Prius 2006, which has a Bluetooth connecting and functions as a headset for the phone, No problems either.
But then the Prius has it's own dictionary of addresses and phone numbers, which it can use via the fast select function, and you can fill them from the phone. No problem, except for one thing: the Nokia is only able to sent one phone number at the time and to do so the coneection has to be broken, re-established, sent it, broken, re-established, and then one number is done. I did the most urgent ones, but for more then 200 numbers in my phone.... Pwoeiwie....
The problem is that Nokia does one at the time, I checked, no other possibility. A thought came to my mind to connect the Mac, use iSync, etc. But the Prius only accepts a device which identified itself as a phone.
Anyone knows if this can be done, and if yes wants to tell me? Please do so, thanks in advance for heaving read this!
Regards,
Wim.

Hi Julian,
I'm not exactly sure how to interpret your question. Let me try:
1. As a user, you set the car in receive mode. At that point you can sent an address or a bulk of addresses. But the phone only sends one at the time. I checked with Nokia, they confirmed it just cannot do it otherwise.
2. If you ask for the message format or the technical data structure, it works when I sent the address as a "Business Card" from the phone to the car.
3. This is not yet relevant because the car yet refuses to connect because the Mac is not seen as a phone....
Regards,
Wim.

Is it possible to use both an ILB and an ELB (listening on the same port) in the same Azure cloud service?

I'm building a test Lync deployment on Azure; yes, I know this is not supported, hence "test".
Lync Front-End servers expose two set of web services, one for internal users and one for external ones; they listen on different ports (443 and 4443) on the same servers; when external services are published, you need a reverse proxy or a port forwarding
in order to map port 443 of a public IP address to port 4443 of the Front-End server(s). When you have multiple Front-End servers in a pool, you also need to load-balance them.
So, a typical Lync deployment looks like this:
       Internal users
               |
               443
                  |
          Internal LB
        192.168.0.20
        443         443
          |               |
   Lync FE 1     Lync FE 2
192.168.0.21 192.168.0.22
          |               |
      4443        4443
          External LB
       Public IP Address
                 |
              443
                 |
       External Users
This should be easily replicated in Azure, as it supports both external load balancing and internal load balancing. They are even supported together in the same cloud service, so this configuration should be easy. However, it looks like "should"
is the keyword here.
After creating the external load balanced endpoint (which listens on external port 443 and forwards to port 4443 on the servers), I'm trying to create an internal load balancer and add internal endpoints to is; however, while the ILB can be created successfully,
adding an internal endpoint listening on port 443 and forwarding to port 443 on the servers fails miserably, with an error stating that port 443 is already in use by another endpoint:
Update-AzureVM : BadRequest : Port 443 is already in use by one of the endpoints in this deployment. Ensure that the port numbers are unique across endpoints within a deployment.
For reference, my commands are:
Add-AzureInternalLoadBalancer -InternalLoadBalancerName "LyncILB" -ServiceName "LyncFrontEnd" -SubnetName "LabSubnet" -StaticVNetIPAddress 192.168.0.20
(This completes successfully)
Get-AzureVM LYNCFE1 | Add-AzureEndpoint -Name "Https-Int" -Protocol "tcp" -LocalPort 443 -PublicPort 443 -LBSetName "HttpsIntLB" -DefaultProbe -InternalLoadBalancerName "LyncILB"
(This fails)
The existing external endpoint is configured as such:
Get-AzureVM LYNCFE1 | get-azureendpoint
LBSetName : HttpsExtLB
LocalPort : 4443
Name : HTTPS-Ext
Port : 443
Protocol : tcp
Vip :
ProbePath :
ProbePort : 4443
ProbeProtocol : tcp
ProbeIntervalInSeconds : 15
ProbeTimeoutInSeconds : 31
EnableDirectServerReturn : False
Acl : {}
InternalLoadBalancerName :
IdleTimeoutInMinutes :
LoadBalancerDistribution :
The error doesn't even make a lot of sense; the external load balancer listens on a public IP address, while the internal load balancer listens on a private IP address in the internal network; there
shouldn't be any conflict here... however it looks like there is one instead.
Why doesn't this work? Am I doing something wrong, or is Azure networking just being silly as usual again?

Hello Massimo Pascucci,
The issue that you are facing when creating an endpoint with internal loadbalancer is the limitation of not allowing same ports to be listening under a single cloud service. This reason for this is that there is a limitation of only one private IP (Also
known as the Internal load balanced IP) per cloud service.
There is also a limitation on the Internal load balancer more than one port to be published per load balancer:

Is it possible to use an exact phrase and a wildcard in the same query

I am building an address finder, and i have an option where the user can enter part or a full uk postcode. There is a ctxcat index on the address field. I am having a problem searching for part of the postcode, if i enter 'ZZ1 2*' it finds all ZZ1 and all house number 2's if i enter ' " ZZ1 2"*' it fails with an error, is this a bug or is it not possibl to use the exact phrasing and wildcard at the same time.
If its not possible can anyone suggest another way round this query.
Thank

hi,
in my table i have a column called address,
these would contain something along the lines of these 2 records.
10 high street anytown ZZ1 3ZZ
3 bridge street anytown ZZ1 8ZZ
If searching on the postcode, the user may enter ZZ1 3 at the moment this would bring back both records, the first one from the ZZ1 and the second one from the house number 3. however if ZZ1 3 is entered i am wanting to just search on the postcode, so it would only match on the first record. so i would like to put the double quotes round the "ZZ1 3" to match on the exact phrase, but then no records come back because of the two letters after the 3, this was why i am asking about the wildcards after the exact phrase ,atch, so it can match the exact phrase of 'ZZ1 3' but then allow any characters after that.
hope this explaings my problem a bit better.

Can i use cdma for internet and gsm for phone at a time in Iphone4s?

Can i use cdma for internet and gsm for phone at a time in Iphone4s?

No. Phones sold by GSM carriers can't access CDMA at all and phones sold by CDMA carriers can only access GSM if they are a) unlocked and b) in an area where there is not CDMA.
Best of luck.

MacPro Dual Use--Mac OS X and Windows?

I'm planning to purchase 2 MacPro stations for our school next year, however, I need some advice. The workstation will be used mostly for video editing--Final Cut Pro and other Mac OS X related activities, however, we need to run Windows-based applications such as SolidWorks and AutoCAD once every now and then. Furthermore, SolidWorks requires a robust video card. The software maker recommends Quadro FX cards. At present there is only one Quadro FX card available for the MacPro; it's price, however, is too high for us. Is it possible to run Mac OS X with the video card that comes installed with the MacPro when it ships and also boot up in Window XP or Vista via BootCamp using a second windows-only video card that would be specially suited to handle 3D modelling (SolidWorks) in a Windows environment? This would save me the need to purchase 2 Mac boxes and 2 Windows boxes. What difficulties would I encounter with the setup described above? Do you have any other recommendations as to what I could do? I'm also hearing rumors that Apple is planning to upgrade its MacPro workstation with possible new Quadro FX cards. Any other ideas?
PowerMac G5 2.3 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you use Boot Camp to create a Windows boot partition, then you can use any Windows compatible PCI-Express video card for Windows, although you will have to install your own Windows drivers because Boot Camp only has drivers for the three Apple video cards available for the Mac Pro. Obviously this would have to be installed as a second video card.
However, you should check with SolidWorks tech support about the usability of the 7300GT or ATI X1900 cards. The latter is quite suitable for the fastest games and may be suitable for use with SolidWorks.

Using Mac OS X and external harddrives

I was wondering if there is anyway to allow Mac OS X to copy/edit files on a Windows-Formatted external harddrive because I want to use the harddrive with both Windows and Mac OS X on my MacBook Pro and use Mac OS X for Itunes, Movies, etc., and Windows as well. If there is no way to do this, is there a way to format the drive so it can be compatible with both Mac OS X and Windows XP/Vista?

You need to format the drive as FAT in order to use it with Windows and Mac. On the Mac side, you can use Disk Utility to format the drive as MS-Dos File System (this is FAT).
Hope this helps =)

File orientation on the designjet 800ps, using mac os x and photoshop

Hi everyone
We're having a problem with the orientation of the printout we're getting from a designjet 800PS...... The printer is working fine (except for some slight banding), but we are trying to work out the orientation first.
Essentially when we are printing A1 sheets from the roll of paper it is printing the long side of the poster along the continuous side of the paper. This means that we then have to chop half of the width of paper off, which is a complete waste. What we want to be able to do is rotate the image being printed by 90 degrees so we can print the long side of the poster across the width of the roll, thus saving us paper and making our rolls last longer.
We are using mac os x leopard (which has the HP drivers for this printer still installed), and printing from photoshop. I assume there should be an option somewhere in the system printer settings when we print, but i cannot for the life of me find them.
Cheers in advance.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Need more info!!
Are you selecting landscape or portrait orientation in page set up and the paper/quality tab of the printer driver when you select print? Both those settings much match. Are you using the autorotate feature? Have you read through your user guide? Found here:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&contentType=Support...
Also, is this the 24 or 42 inch designjet? What size paper? Roll or Sheet?
Just so you know there are some quirks to getting portrait docs to print landscape - 2 fixes if you are doing everything correctly and it's still spinning your doc around:
1 - if you are printing to a roll that is smaller than the max size, you can lie to the printer and tell it you have a larger size roll installed.
2 - reduce the overall size of the original document by 1/2 inch.
There is an issue where when we use autorotate and then chose to print a portrait doc landscape, the spooling software actually makes the document 1 pixel too wide so the printer automatically turns the document back around. However let's make sure you are setting things up correctly first.

Elvis: Is It possible to use the Function Generator and the Oscilloscope simultaneously?

Hi,
We are using the NI Elvis to output a function or a sine wave at a certain frequency and using the oscilloscope on the same board/elvis to read a modified signal. Is this possible? Can we use both the Function Generator and the oscilloscope at the same time? Please help. The oscilloscope would be reading signal from an accelerometer. Thank you in advance. We have no VI as we do not know which to use and if they are possible.

Hi,
There is no problem using the Function Generator and Oscilloscope
at the same time with NI ELVIS. Using the NI ELVIS soft front panels (Start
>> Programs >> National Instruments >> NI ELVIS 3.0 >>
NI ELVIS – see picture attached –‘NI ELVIS soft front panels.JPG’), you can choose
to open more than one instrument at a time. We do this by opening one
instrument, allowing it to begin, and then opening another. We can also program
in LabVIEW using more than one instrument at a time by placing down multiple
Express VI’s taken from the NI ELVIS pallet on the block diagram (see picture
attached – ‘ELVIS Express VI's (LabVIEW).JPG’). One note when doing this,
please see KB 41ODPHX1
for an example of how to program in parallel. If you do not wire the ‘stop’
terminal of the express VI’s, you will get the error described.

Possible to use audio line out and in simultaneously ?

In the current version of MacBook Pro Retina is it possible to use the analog audio line out and line in both simultaneously ? That is playback as well as record analog audio at the same time.
Does anyone know what is the audio hardward platform (Codec, DAC, ADC, etc..) in this machine ?
Thanks!

Air has a headset jack.
You can use a splitter
Mics should be USB capable for best results, almost all headset mics are junk quality.
then monitoring or listening thru the headphones
consider using a PRO MIC , such as an Audio Technica AT2020 USB

or better still use one of these with pro XLR mics:

Is it possible to use airplay for image and sound via bluetooth speaker for sound?

I want to play my presentations using airplay, and it works perfectly, but i tried to use my bluetooth speakers at the same time and it doesn't seems possible! Each time i choose the bt speaker on system preferences it disconnects the airplay. Any suggestion?

Hello, you'd need another Router, or at least a different range of IPs on the Router for Wired & Wifi, or at the very least specifically mount Windows® shares by IP.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
