Mirroring the laptop can go too far

24 inch display has been working perfectly up to now, but has today decided that whenever I close the screen on my MacBookPro, the display plays copy-cat and goes to sleep as well. Hardly the end of the world, as I can happily work with the laptop open, but it's a bug of some kind. Or I'm doing something stupid...
Any thoughts? is it obvious?!
Many thanks
Al

It's easy. With a USB or wireless keyboard functioning, or a mouse - close your laptop's cover and put the computer to sleep. A few seconds later, push any key on the keyboard or button on the mouse and the Cinema Display should come on. You'll be able to work with the external display as your primary and the laptop closed.

  • Creating a 1 page scrolling site - problems with the final section scrolling too far

    I have created a 1 page scrolling site that works fine apart from the final section, which scrolls too far. My site is made up of a pinned headr, a pinned footer, and 4 sections (defined by rectangles - each one 1011 pixels high). I have used scroll effects to bring the items in and out.
    The site can be viewed here: Home
    The problem is with the contact us section, where you seem to be able to scroll further than the bottom section.
    These are my document set up settings:
    so my height is set to 4042 (though I have tried it with 4044 - 4x1011 - it makes no difference. When I click on the link to the contact section it looks fine, but I then seem to be able to scroll further down, and this seems dependant on the monitor / browser size. The problem is more pronounced with a smaller monitor / browser size in height.
    I have tried everything I can think of to make it not scroll beyond what the anchor takes it to when I click on the link, but whatever I do the problem seems to persist.
    I would welcome any suggestions on this, and also any general feedback on the site. But help with the problem first please.
    Many Thanks in advance - I would be happy to post the muse file but cannot seem to find a way to do this.
    Ian

    Thanks for the help. Is there a way that I can upload the file for someone to look at - I have tried your suggestion but cannot find any empty text boxes or anything at the bottom. I have gone top right and tried the upload file section but it tells me that I am not allowed the create the content.
    Actually i'll put it in dropbox and share it that way.
    Dropbox - YESS2.muse
    Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me can see what I have done wrong - it is my first time doing a 1 page scrolling site so it might be a school boy error
    Cheers

  • I forgot my password for the laptop can I reset the password ?

    I have my apple id but I've forgotten the password for the computer can I reset it some how?

    You router has two passwords.
    1)  The router login password must be given to login to the router and see the router settings.  The default password is "admin".  If you changed the password and cannot remember it, the only option is to reset the router to factory defaults (using the reset button), then setup the router again from scratch.
    2)  The router also has an optional wireless encryption password.  To find this password, login to your router, and click on the "Wireless" tab, "Wireless Security" sub tab.  Here you will see your encryption method.  Nearby you will see your "key"  (sometimes called password or passphrase).  If you want to reset your key to something different, you can change it here, then click the "Save Settings" button, and wait (3 to 60 seconds) for the screen to refresh.  If you change your key in the router, you will need to change it on all your computers.
    For WEP, enter WEP "key 1"  (found in the router) into your computer, not the password or passphrase.
    For WPA or WPA2, enter the key (sometimes called password or passphrase) into your computer.
    Also note that if you are using WPA2 encryption, and if your computer is using Windows XP, then the computer will need to be upgraded to SP3 to do WPA2.  Vista already supports WPA2.

  • The entries in the Fields column are too far apart.

    The Fields column on the left has the entries really far apart, so when I need to arrange the field order I have to do a lot of scrolling up and down. The arrow you click to expand or collapse the list is super magnified, though it still functions. It hasn't always been this way, but I must've done something to cause this change. How can I reverse this? Thanks.

    I am having the same problem. It seemed to start after updating to 9.5.1. Adobe support will not address this question as they are not supporting this version anymore! ARGH! If anyone knows how to fix, please share!!

  • The "page down" key goes too far down - how can I adjust it?

    When I'm scrolling through an article or webpage and hit the "page down" key, the jump down is too far and I have to scroll back up a couple lines to see what it missed. Is there a way to adjust that?
    Thanks.

    Are you zooming the page or have adjusted default font sizes?
    It is possible that this affects the behavior of scrolling as this can be a fixed amount of pixels.
    Look at these prefs (see about:config) to set the scrolling behavior with the keyboard.
    *toolkit.scrollbox.horizontalScrollDistance (5)
    *toolkit.scrollbox.verticalScrollDistance (3)
    *Bug 635645 - consider increasing the amount of scrolling performed by using the arrow keys
    *Bug 725700 - Keyboard arrow keys and scrollbar buttons should have consistent scrolling distances

  • I am using an alternate monitor. Can I turn off the laptop monitor and still operate normally?

  • Problem with menus on the right and image is too far to the right.

    Notice the difference in sizes of the menus, (Unfamiliar with the correct terminology). I cannot get the Adjustments, Layers, Properties, etc. to all be the same size, increase their width. Notice the loaded image is too far to the right underneath the menus. I have to go to Window/Arrange/Float in window to move the image to the left. Also I cannot get the Maximize/Minimize button to work. How can I fix these problems.

    I did that already with the same results. Trying to widen the Adjustment
    menu does not work. I am satisfied with
    the way the other menus appear. The only other problem that bothers me
    is that the loaded image is to far to the
    right, and is underneath the menus. The only way I can move the image to
    the left is to use the Float in window
    command, but it is not permanent. It goes back to the default position
    when another image is opened.
    Thanks for the Alt shortcuts and the button is visible.

  • Deskjet 5850 - Windows 7 Dell laptop can't ping but all other networked machines can

    So we have a 4-year-old Deskjet 5850 connected wirelessly to the home network. We've had a problem that it periodically disconnects from the wifi and won't reconnect until it's rebooted; however I've lived with this up to now (after much playing with settings, I might add).
    Now my wife's new Dell laptop (insurance, old laptop, cup of tea, long story) has Windows 7, which doesn't have the HP full-feature software.  I figured the best thing to do was to try to add the printer manually, forcing the driver to 5600 series as per the HP support website; however I got absolutely nowhere.
    A little digging showed me that the laptop simply can't see the printer - it won't even ping it. Every other machine on the network (there are 3 others if you count the networked tivo!) can ping the printer, the laptop can ping all the other machines, but it won't ping the printer.
    I tried disabling windows firewall, it made no difference. I tried leaving the home group as recommended in various forums but again, no difference (can't see it making a difference anyway, since none of the other machines is in the group and it should still ping the printer anyway, no?).
    There can't be any wifi b/g separation set up in the router because my laptop and TiVo are both running G and can ping the printer no problem.
    I've given up scratching my head on this one and have reached the head/wall stage.
    The printer is set up as static IP 10.0.0.10, DHCP range starts at 10.0.0.100 so no chance of any conflict. The laptop has picked up DHCP IP correctly (10.0.0.169, fwiw) with the right netmask.
    I should maybe mention that I've a degree in computer science and 15 years IT industry experience; I know what I'm doing with this stuff, so it's nothing blindingly obvious... but this one has me completely stumped.
    Oh, if anyone has a fix for the printer disappearing off the net, that would be cool too
    Help!

    For what it's worth, it turned out to be (I think) a combination of router/printer settings.
    The printer's idle timeout had ended up set to 0, unsure how (possibly when I first set it up I misunderstood the meaning and thought "well I don't ever want it to timeout"); now I'd already changed this back to the default last week when I was first trying to connect the Windows 7 machine but it made no difference; however I hadn't rebooted the router since.
    The clue for me was that in the router setup (a Be-branded Thomson 565v7)  the printer came up as "inactive" in the list of devices. Rebooting the router after changing the idle timeout seems to have done the trick - the printer both appears on the net for the Windows 7 machine and stays connected to the wifi.
    I still don't understand how the router can have got itself into that state where it will pass some traffic and not others. Perhaps the machines that could ping the printer were the ones that were connected to the net when the router first saw the printer and therefore had seen the arp update.
    Maybe if I'd tried harder to force the entry in the arp table on the win7 machine I might be able to answer that; it came up and moaned that I wasn't allowed to do it, even though I was running in a "run as administrator" cmd window, and I gave up (since I figured the arp was getting out there if the other machines could see it).
    Anyway, the answer was (at least in my case), check the idle timeout and reboot your router
    Thanks again for your post

  • Overheating the laptop - Ati driver problem (SOLVED)

    Hi ppl.
    I have Acer Aspire 5732 Z laptop. Intel Pentium processor T4400 2.2 GHz. Ati Mobility Radeon HD 4570 512 MB VRAM, 15.6", 3 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD.
    I successfully solved all the problems during the installation, but this one I can not handle. The laptop is HEATING too much. I also have Ubuntu 9.10 on the other partition and its all fine. Its working on the temperature of ~46 C. And my Arch is working on the temperature of ~60 C. So its about 15 C difference between Ubuntu and Arch. Way too much.
    Arch is running in KDE mode. Have to add that I installed all KDE packages. Maybe the cause of this problem ?
    I am using the proprietary Ati Radeon driver. I tried to change it with open source Ati driver but Xorg refused to configure again (gave me a blank screen).
    I checked Wiki on laptop, but didnt succeded to solve this problem. Here s my rc.conf:
    MODULES=( acpi-cpufreq )
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus hal !acpid !acpi-support powernowd wicd !network !netfs alsa crond laptop-mode kdm)
    powernowd configuration:
    OPTIONS="-q -u 30 -l 10"
    acpi-support is blacklisted because I installed it from AUR and didnt managed it to work. Its just saying "no permission" during the boot. I actually installed it because I read that its Ubuntus Acpi management. ~ I repeat Acpi is working fine on my Ubuntu.
    I can also show my laptop-mode configuration files - if needed.
    I am a newbie for Arch but I rlly done my best on this issue as I want to use this system. I think its great and highly configurable and I just love the fact its a rolling distro. But I cant use it overheating.
    So, please help.

    I am using lmsensors on Arch and some kind of panel sensor on Mint, but its ok for sure. Few minutes ago I checked temperature on Arch and it was 56 C. Then I rebooted and when I logged into Mint it was 56 C. But few mins later temperature normalized to 45 C in Mint. After lsmod I logged into Arch again and temperature raised to 54 C.
    So its Arch problem for sure.
    @hokasch
    I am not sure about noise level of fans. Sounds similar to me. But maybe its a fan problem. I know its sometimes loud and sometimes silent. Probably depends on the system temperature. Maybe Arch cant control it normaly. Is there any kind of software that is used for fan speed ?

  • Detail lines are too far apart

    I have an Oracle Report where the detail lines are too far apart. There is way too much white space between the lines. How do I decrease the line height? The detail line is very complex, with fields which are shown/not shown at different times.
    Thanks, Wayne

    Hi,
    try to set the vertically property of the appropriate frame to variable (so that the frame can shrink) and have a look at the first item inside the repeating frame. The difference between this item and the repeating frame is used for every line.
    regards

Maybe you are looking for
