Monitors off for overdubbing

is it possible to turn off the monitors from Logic Express while headphones are still on or do I need to buy a mixer? I have iMac g5 and M-Audio MobilePre USB, Rokit8 monitors. thanks a lot!

You could get something like the C-Control:

Or better yet, invest on a better audio interface which will enable you to mute the main outs while still hearing the headphones. The Focusrite Saffire does that. Plus, you'll gain better converters, better preamps and a lot of other goodies.

Monitor works for one second, then blank

I have been reading many of the post people have put down about monitors and mac mini's, however can't find anyone with my problem.
I bought a mac mini and a cheap monitor from PC world, a Xerox 17" TFT, thinking that it would work fine. However when I connected them up using the DVI cable, at start up the monitor works for a second then blank. Turning it off and back on again brings the image back but again for just a second. This is annoying in that the mac mini is still in its welcome first run making it difficult to get beyond it to mess around with the monitor settings given a window of a second each time.
There was an adaptor that came with the monitor, but to use that I would have to plug that adaptor into the macs DVI adaptor as well, something I tryed but no luck, in fact no image at all.
Has anyone else had this problem?

I've had this problem too, resetting the PMU and PRAM usually helps:

ISight cam on, but Monitor off ?

Hi guys,
tried looking for this question in the forums and nothing...
I currently use a Macbook Pro and the latest version of Mac OS X. I also have the Macbook Pro connected to the Flat HD TV.
My question is: How can I turn off the Monitor on the Macbook and be able to use the iSight Cam during video chat.
Currently, the Macbook Pro is open and both monitor and TV shows the same video. To save monitor life, I would like to turn this off but keep the cam on..
Thanks

Found my own answer at MacForums.
here's how to do it..
Close your macbook - it goes to sleep, make sure the power adaptor is plugged in.
wait 5 seconds,
with a wire or wireless keyboard press any keys and wait about 5 sec. The Mac should wake up and show the monitor screen on the external monitor.
After 1 minute, you could open the Macbook Pro monitor cover and the monitor should stay turned off. Allowing you to use the iSight cam with the monitor off and saving the life of the monitor.
Hope this helps other people who's been trying to do this too.

Since upgrading my phone to 6.0.1, I'm using way too much data. I believe it's the podcast app that's not loading shows while I'm connected to wifi. I have the 3g turned off for podcasts??? also after a phone call or an alert it starts playing a podcast?

I've also had the same issues, after upgrading to IOS 6.0, the apps in my iPhone 4 were crashing and the battery life run out very fast.
The only solution worked for me was to remove all mail accounts (Exchange/Gmail) from my iPhone (in settings) and then add them back.
The crashing were stopped! also the battery was back to normal.
I found the solution by first looking at the crash logs (in IOS 6). you can find them at Settings -> General -> About (at the bottom of the About menu you will find the option that opens the logs).
There i saw many logs about Low Memory crash. 99% of the logs were pointed that the largest process (use the most memory) during the crashes is "dataaccessd".
I search in the web and found that this process is a deamon process that reponsible the Mail accounts (like Exchange/Gmail) and contancts list.
I've installed the app "System Status - activity monitor" which shows important system info like CPU usage, Memory usage and running processes.
Before apply my solution (deleting the mail accounts) i saw that the CPU usage was very high which consume the battery very fast. Also i saw that the memory (RAM) was run out.. which probably what cause the crashing..
After deleting the mail accounts (at Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars) i check again with the System Status app, and saw that the memory and CPU were back to normal.
Adding the mail accounts back, still everything work ok
Hope this solution will help you too,
Enjoy!

Can I run two thunderbolt display monitors off of my new 27" iMac?

Can I run two thunderbolt display monitors off of my new 27" iMac?

Yes, the new iMac has two Thunderbolt ports. Plus Thunderbolt can be daisy chained thru external Thunderbolt drives and displays that have multiple ports.
For more info, see > Apple - Thunderbolt: Next-generation high-speed I/O technology.
Although I'm not sure exactlly what Arrangement selections you will be offered in the Displays Preference, because I have not tested that setup myself...

Toshiba 32AV615DB screen flickers off for a split sec every few sec

Hello,
I got my toshiba television around the end of 2009 and havent had any problems until recently.
Whilst watching my virgin + box and whilst on the gaming console, the screen flickers off for a split second every few seconds.
At first I thought it was me blinking it happens that fast until somebody else noticed it as well.
This does not happen whilst using the tele for a monitor for my PC.
Does anybody know what the problem is and if I am able to fix it or not?
I purchased the tele from RicherSOunds with a 5 year garuntee so if it is anything bad I can take it back and they will fix it or give me a new one free of charge.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi
If the warranty is still valid, I would recommend you to contact the technician (service point) in your country in order to check the TV.
Everything what you can do is to check some settings and cable connection but thats it.
TV troubleshooting is limited and in most cases such issues need an check from experts.

Watching videos on external TV with laptop monitor off?

Hi,
I'd like to view some of my iTunes videos on an external TV but with my G4 Powerbook's monitor off. (Watching full screen videos in full screen mode on the laptop itself tends to produce intense heat and resulting fan noise.)
I connected the laptop to the TV with an s-video cable, and I can view windowed video in dual-monitor mode or full screen video in mirrored mode with both displays showing the same thing...
...but is there any way to just watch it on the TV with the laptop simply sending the video out and not displaying it locally?
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, in the end, I hooked up an external USB mouse in addition to the s-video and power cables. That does allow the laptop to operate with the lid closed and display everything on the external monitor.
Alas, my hope that this would allow me to view iTunes videos without the heat and noise normally associated with full-screen viewing didn't pan out. Maybe time for an upgrade.

Brightness controls disabled after Monitor OFF-ON cycle

So this has been a weird problem on my T400 with discrete graphics. I frequently turn my monitor off on battery. Hoever, once I resume it, the brightness control ceases to function. I can see the OSD but there is no control. Also the monitor resumes with lowest brightness. I have power manager I and started noticing the problem after the update.
- The only remedy i have so far is a full restart.

Based on cycle count and capacity your battery is in great shape. You might check the adapter and port for debris, and try an SMC reset:

Only Apple can determine whether you qualify for a free replacement - they have a battery tester which they'll use if you bring your MBP into an Apple Store.

Why is there no updates to the firefox throttle add-ons ? Is there an alternative? throttle is Bandwidth utilization throttling and monitoring extension for Firefox

Why is there no updates to the firefox throttle add-ons ? Is there an alternative? throttle is Bandwidth utilization throttling and monitoring extension for Firefox

Well, it's probably one of two things: either the awesome dude(tte) who developed this awesome extension was tired of updating or the changes in FFox software architecture carried out between version 3.x and 4+ created challenges that were too difficult for him to surmount or a combination of both. Honestly, I love Mozilla but I think they dropped the ball on the throttle issue. It's such an obvious and necessary function and it's so easy to implement. They should have included it a long time ago as in built feature. And, if you are browsing and looking at this post and you agree. Add a suggestion in mozilla.org. The more of us asking for this function, the better.
Meanwhile, I have the following solution for you:
Solution 0.6.9.23.11 (DIY Version of my Solution ):
Setting Up a Separate Portable Firefox 3.6.x that runs independently of and simultaneously to your latest version of Firefox
Get FireFox Portable 3.6.24:
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36
It's a portable app, meaning that it's got all it's profiles and preference and application files in the same directory. It won't compete with your current installation of Firefox, has it's own separate extension folder etc...
Get Firefox Throttle 1.1.6
http://firefox-throttle.en.softonic.com/ (I couldn't find it in the official mozilla site)
It will be flagged as incompatible with even that old version of firefox (but it isn't). You just need to turn off compatibility checking. You can do that with this extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/?src=search
If you have Bookmarks you want to port to the portable (bad pun intend), backup them up to bookmarks.json file on your desktop and import them to the portable version. You can export/import more stuff using FEBE addon but that's a whole world of headaches if you don't your doing.
Many of your extensions favourites extensions will no longer work on FFox 3.6.x but if, in that same addon's page, you look around until you find a link to previous versions of the addon, you will notice that the compatibility info is right below the version numbers. Just download and install the latest version that is compatible with you 3.6.x....
Voila mon ami! Your FFox 3.6 portable has just become your own private Download Mule whom you can throttle to your hearts content (ever throttle a real Mule??? I wouldn't try it, personally...) Do your regular browsing in another (unthrottled) browser and do your big downloads in the Mule...
If you want to keep using your brand spanking new Firefox for other types of browsing while using this portable Mule edition for the downloads, just add -p -no-remote to the shortcut leading to your Firefox Portable Mule edition.
For example, my taskbar shortcut to my Firefox Portable is:
""C:\Program Files (x86)\FirefoxPortableLegacy36\FirefoxPortable.exe"
I just changed it to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\FirefoxPortableLegacy36\FirefoxPortable.exe" -p -no-remote
This will make it occupy it's own independent instance and I can use the both my Firefox Nightly and the Firefox Portable editions at the same time (each one, using a different profile ie. extensions, cookies, password, cache etc).
If you're on Linux, you can just run this on Wine and set the Windows Version to Windows 2000 in the Wine config,

Solution 0.6.9.23.11 (Non-DIY Version of my Solution):
Download my preconfigured but SWAGGED-THE-HECK-UP PortableFirefox 3.6
Having realized that some of you may find the above to be daunting. I took my own customize firefox portable, took out all my data and compressed the folder (it's portable, so it'll run as soon as you unzip it).
Here is a screenshot:
http://www.mediafire.com/?o95nkwo8y6q535j
Here is the download link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?xdw87ivf3184u2s
Don't forget to modify your Start/Taskbar shortcuts:
"C:\wherever you decide to put it\FirefoxPortableLegacy36-Swagged-UP!\FirefoxPortable.exe"
I just changed it to:
"C:\wherever you decide to put it\FirefoxPortableLegacy36-Swagged-UP!\FirefoxPortable.exe" -p -no-remote

Is it possible to turn off iMessage off for one individual during group text?

Can I turn off iMessage for individuals who use the iPhone and IOS 5 but do not have their iMessage setting on? I want to group text with two other people. They both have IOS 5, but one does not use iMessage. She can't recieve the group text unless I turn my iMessage off for everyone. Is it possible to turn off iMessage for one individual for a group text?

Have you set font smoothing in Appearances (System preferences) to match your monitor?

Effects with Software Monitoring off?

I looked for an answer to this on the forum, but couldn't find one.
I prefer to monitor with the "software monitoring" off to avoid the slight latency that occurs. Is there a way to hear some reverb on the input track when in this mode, or what do you do to avoid the latency if SM is enabled. I set the buffer lower but it is still audible.
thanks in advance from a rookie

Turn ON software monitoring and set the track to "no output" and use a send to go to the reverb. You monitor only the dry voice direct from your interface and only the reverb through Logic.

Every time my lg g pad 8.3 lte tablet is turned off it reverts the saving email attachment back to internal storage. Every time I turn on, I change it back to save to SD card. It stays that way until it is turned off for more than a minute. If I do a restart, it holds the setting, but loses it when it is shut down for any period of time. Does anyone else have this issue? The setting holds for photos taken with camera storing to SD card. Only the email attachment setting does not hold.

I believe that system has a hall sensor on it to detect when the lid is closed so it can put the system to sleep and/or disable the monitor so it can be used with an external monitor only. If the sensor is marginal or has a bad cable, it may intermittently cut the monitor on and off, and may likewise put the system to sleep. One way to check would be to plug in an external monitor and if the laptop's screen cuts off or doesn't show up, start using the trackpad and press on a non-typing key like the shift key. If the external display suddenly pops and becomes active while the laptop display remains black, it's probably a problem with the sensor or the cable/connection. You might be able to fool the sensor into kicking on and off by moving a magnet over it. It's located on the left had side of the base with the unit opened up, and right over the audio output plug.
I know of some people that put a small magnet right over the hall sensor's location so the laptop display turns off and they use the system with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If fooling with magnets, make sure they're small and don't get them close to the hard drive because a strong magnet can wipe them out.
I don't know if this will help you much, but it might.

Mac momentarily turns off for no reason?

My mac just randomly shut off for like 2 seconds. The screen was black and i couldn't even hear the slight noise from the internal hardwares. Then after the 2 seconds, everything returned to normal and the computer started to work again. I believe I wasn't doing any processor intesive task at that moment. So will this harm the laptop? Is there anyone who already had this problem before? Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I wasn't talking about one line per computer, just one line to your office and equipment off the circuit breaker that isn't shared by 1000W of other equipment.

Mac Pro's wake from sleep inrush current (check wiki).

The Mac Pro wasn't behaving but nothing we can do. And rather than occur on cold boot, it was at its worse on wake from sleep, which a firmware update helped resolve, and models built after April didn't suffer from.
A UPS protects your equipment and extends the life probably of components, like modem and the rest, and keeps it running better with fewer problems. I would never run a workstation and $5000+ of equipment (and data has value) without. While no single power conditioner can correct all power quality problems, many can correct a variety of them.

The Quad G5 was like... walking into a hornet's nest to listen to, and see the 100s of posts in a single thread on "what UPS does this thing need" freakin' out so many.
Surge strips have their place, just not going to do a lot to clean or condition voltage or some problems, and sometimes just a way to overload an outlet. I've found the best surge protectors in hardware supply store.

Problem: Screen Shuts Off For No Reason

I have the new iPhone 3G.
My screen shuts off (the screen turns black, but the phone is still on...like if you shut the monitor off on a desktop PC while the tower is still on) randomly which requires me to do a hard reset (holding the sleep button at the top of the phone and the home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears).
This happens without warning when I do the following:
1. During a call, when I need to use the keypad, put a call on hold, activate speakerphone, etc. the screen will stay black and will not turn on when I touch it. This means I can't even end a call unless the caller hangs up. It is clear that the phone is still on (I can hear the caller at the other end), but I cannot use the screen at all. The screen comes back on when I put the phone back up to my ear, but then when I pull it away to touch the screen it goes black again.
2. After I complete a call, the screen will shut off before I can press the "end call" button. Even after the call is terminated from the other end, I cannot make the screen come back on.
3. After the screen automatically goes to sleep (goes black), I cannot make it come back on.
In all 3 of these instances, I use a hard reset to make the screen come back on. In the first instance that I listed, I have to do a hard reset during the call in order to disconnect the call and get the screen to come back on.
These problems do not happen during/after every single call. For example, sometimes it will be after one call, other times it will be after five calls. It happens without warning and without reason. It is very inconvenient because I am resetting my phone several times a day. When I call customer service lines (for any company), I can't use the keypad to do things such as "Press 1 for English" without doing a hard reset in the middle of the call and calling back several times until it works.
I would really appreciate it if you could offer some advice on how to fix this problem.
Thank you.

I had the same problem, and a very helpful person in another thread suggested I try removing the phone from the case, as it's probably blocking the little sensor next to the earpiece. When it's close to your head, the display shuts off (because, naturally, you're not using the screen). When you take it away, the screen should pop up. If that sensor is blocked, the thing thinks it's still next to your head.
I'm going to experiment without the case for a few days. if it's fixed, great. If it's not, I'm taking the stupid thing back to the Apple Store. We'll see.
Course, if you don't have a case... I'd say either attempt to erase and restore it from within iTunes or get on the horn with Apple support.
