Mounting my 23" display portrait-style...but just temporarily?

I'm going to be working on a project to create several posters. These posters are portrait-orientation, so to facilitate working that way, I'd like to turn my 23" monitor on its side. I know there are expensive monitor arms that allow me to do this, but since I only want to do this for a couple of months, I'm wondering if anyone out there has figured out a way to position the monitor securely in this fashion relatively inexpensively.
Thanks.

I have heard of this type of stand being used when the leg breaks off the back of an Apple display. If there is a local music store, see if they have a stand of the right size. If the display is the older plastic case, with ventilation slots at the top and bottom, don't run at high brightness when rotated, as it may overheat.

How can I do? If My iPhone display is cracked, but just it's on Limited warranty.

What is the best way to fix it. Thank you.

To be frank, I don't know. When buying on ebay you will be looking for words like OEM, original, genuine, and if it has the oleophobic coating that would be even better. Exchanging messages with the seller is key. But prepare to have lower quality. There are lots of third party options, but also some genuine, often second hand/pulled from real iphones.
To be even more frank, I underestimated the amount of work involved in getting to the screen of a iPhone 4. I assumed that it is the first thing taken off, like on my 3GS, making it a ten minute job. But apparently on a 4, the screen is about the last thing you get to, making it a pain to replace (which is actually a more sensible design, because it makes replacing batteries much more easy).
Anyway, there's two things you can buy on ebay.
1) The whole LCD assembly, which means the outer glass plate+digitizer and the LCD screwed on. The digitizer is the part that senses your fingers, and is glued/stuck onto the glass plate.
2) Or the cheapest route, the glass+digitizer only, which is more work, requiring using your existing LCD. Be mindful to get glass AND digitizer, and not only the outer glass plate. If it has a ribbon cable, you're safe.
search for terms like "iphone 4 digitizer assembly" or "iphone 4 lcd assembly". Include words like OEM, genuine or original. A good repair guide is

I suggest you take a good look at it to assess if you or anyone you know is op to it. If you never repaired a piece of consumer electronics before it's probably best to have Apple fix it.

My apple tv main menu no longer displays the "movies" section, just internet, computers, and settings. Does anyone know why or how to get it back up? Recently rented a movie directly through apple tv but can't see the movies section in main menu now.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check the location setting for the iTunes Store is correct.
You might also try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
If you are still having problems try a restore.

I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

That happened to me for a short period of time after I updated. It didn't do it with all apps, but it did it with a few here and there. Try a few basic standard troubleshooting steps. Close all apps and reset the iPad.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
Hopefully it will be something simple, but don't rule out restoring the iOS software, if nothing else works, but start with this easy stuff first.

My images will not show in the Finder Pictures folders, but just display as jpeg thumbnails. I have to open each one to see what photo it is. This has just recently started to happen.

I made sure the 'Show Icon Preview' box was checked. This is about all I can do, really, Frank, as i don't know enough about the workings of these machines to start fiddling about.
Strangely the images show as previews in some folders, yet not in others, even though they come from the same sources (my camera and my phone).

Iphoto won't display Portrait Orientated images, how can i fix this?

Iphoto'11 on latest OS wont display Portrait Orientated images, only just occured and only shows the image when in 'EDIT'. how can i remedy my thumbnails as it wont allow me to print anything but a blank screen

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Input field set to password display shows character but traces nothing

Hi,
I have a password field on key frame to which I navigate when the proper sequence of key strokes is entered. My guess is that the password field is getting the last key stroke as it appears to have a single character in it when it appears; however, setting its text = "" has no effect and tracing its text returns nothing.
Is there a way to ensure that the a text input field is clear?
I'd appreciate any ideas.
Best regards,
Chris McLaughlin

thanks for your reply.
I am pretty sure that the list where I get the data contains values. I tried it by outputting the in ordinary table as shown here:
<table>
<c:forEach items="${test}" var="test" >
<tr>
<td>
<c:out value="${test.id}"/>
<c:out value="${test.firstName}"/>
<c:out value="${test.lastName}"/>
</td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
It outputs properly but when I tried this, it just output NOTHING FOUND TO DISPLAY.
<display:table name="{firstName=Bill, id=3, lastName=Joy}" id="test" class="list">
<display:column style="width: 5%" title="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="id" value="<c:out value='${test.id}'/>" <c:if test="${param.id==test.id and param.method!='Save'}">checked="checked"</c:if> style="margin: 0 0 0 4px" onclick="radio(this)" />

Have 23" Cinema Display, want 30" but don't know if my DVI switch will work

I have a 23" Cinema Display currently being shared by my 2 Macs (G5 and MacBook Pro) and 2 Windows PCs using a 4 port Single Link DVI KVM.
I want to upgrade to a 30" display, but I am getting some conflicting advise from Apple Store personnel, Apple Online Store, etc.
I want to put an adapter between my current single link DVI switch and a new 30" cinema display. I keep hearing to use the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, but looking at pictures of it, I don't see how that would work. I would need two DVI connections on the adapter (one in and one out), but I don't see that on there.
The gist is, I have 4 computers (which may or may not have dual link DVI) and I want to still use them to drive a 30" Cinema Display. Am I just hosed and have to wait, or buy a 30" monitor from another vendor?
I would be fine with the current 1920 by 1200 resolution on the 30" as I am purchasing this to help my tired eyes.
Thanks for any advise.

I have read of other 30" monitors (Samsung) supporting lower resolutions using a single link DVI. Is it just the Cinema Display that doesn't support single link at any resolution.
The Apple 30" will work at 1,280 x 800 via single-link DVI.

Video Control Bar in Flash Displays on HD but Not From Webserver

I am using Flash Pro 8 - putting FLV files in SWF files using
Flash Pro 8 and then "publishing" to Html and SWF to a location on
my hard drive.
When I display the webpage from my Hard Drive from where ever
on my hard drive I initially published to from Flash 8 Pro -
everything works fine - videos play and video control bar shows and
works.
When I publish this website to web server the video displays
and plays but NO Video Controller Bar (at bottom of the video)
shows at all.
Symptom: when I make an Html, SWF and FLA file into a folder
on my hard drive and display them in the browser the video control
bar shows. When I copy those three files into the hard drive
website in FrontPage, the video shows but the video control bar
does not.
So, I re-made the Html, SWF, and FLA files and put them
directly into the FrontPage website (on my hard drive) then
everything works fine when I use broswer (IE 6 or Firefox). z
But, when I publish the hard drive website to the remote
website hosting company, the video control bar disappears -
everything else works fine (video shows OK just no video controller
bar.)
My guess is that the SWF file has a non-relative URL
reference concerning the video control bar and when the three files
(Html, SWF and FLA) are moved to new location then that
non-relative address rears its head.
I should NOT publish from Flash 8 Pro directly to remote
webserver as it has FrontPage Extensions and does not like to talk
to FTP changes to website not coming from FrontPage client.
is my guess right? What to do?????

quote:
1. When I encoded the video in flash I selected one of the
pre-packaged control bars (so the user can control basic
functions). I then published an HTML and a .swf. The HTML works
perfectly however when I use Dreamweaver to insert the .swf it does
not carry over the control bar. I have tried pulling over the
control bar .swf and placing it under the video file but a HUGE
object is imported with a bunch of controls that do not work (bunch
of controls = play/pause/etc).
make sure the component skin is uploaded in same directory as
swf, movie, html

The second issue is this; the user still has to click once on

I have tried a cache clean and also from a laptop with same results?
Interesting in standalone at www.spindisc.co.uk/cart the player that is written in AS3 with SWF fand XML files, shows upper central in Chrome, however in IE10 it shows in top left position (so I am expecting that while it is in the site page it is being displayed off stage!!!!
The coding shows to be aligned as "middle" in the HTML file, I can't figure out what the problem is.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Yes.
why am i removing symantec?
Short answer: Because it's worse than useless and worse than the imaginary "viruses" you're afraid of would be if they really existed. For the long answer, see below.
1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, and a technological fix is not going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the scam artists. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
Software from an untrustworthy source
☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software.
☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission.
Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
Unexpected events
☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in everyemail attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It's as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

Dear Auxone,
No issue 4 installin ths application on a phone tht does nt have a GPS support.
Bt at least u must have Bluetooth enabled device 4 receiving d GPS data 4m
external GPS receiver. When GPS receiver is connected to mobile device then only
u can get latitude and longitude in DMS format.
Permissions r used by devices to protect access to APIs / functions tht require
authorization b4 being invoked. If u set location permission 4 ur application
u must have d GPS supported device else it ll gives u "Authentication Failure"
error.
"MIDlet-Permissions-Opt" r optional permissions. No matter device is supported
or nt 4 those permissions. It will just skip d process if API support is nt available
on device n it will never give u d o/p 4 tht APIs / functions.
-d.p.

Magsafe has no light, MBP starts but just spins on the Apple Logo, more...

This is a friends 17" 2.16 model
Magsafe has no light but works, MBP starts but just spins on the Apple Logo, the battery has no charge. I have a 2.4ghz model so checked the charger... it works AND lights up on mine. The battery (a replacement battery, 8 months old) does not take a charge in my mbp (had it installed for 30"). I connected via firewire in Target mode - it didn't mount so I tried to "repair" the connected HD via Disk Utility.... after about 5" a simple message came up saying that it was unable to repair the drive.
Ran Tech Tool Pro and only managed to run scan blocks on it which at least mounted the drive so I could retrieve files etc but no other diagnostic would work.
Did a SMC on it - no change.
When I tried starting it and held down any combination of alt, control, shift keys etc it would just immediately go into shutdown.
Anybody have an idea what might be wrong and how much it might cost to repair?

Does your friend's 2.16 MBP have the original hard drive? If so, the hard drive could be failing. It would be 3 years old, and the useful life of a hard drive is 3-5 years.
Have you tried your known good battery in your friend's MBP? If the battery won't charge with a known good adaptor and a known good battery after a SMC, then there could be a problem with the Left I/O Board.
I have heard of a dying hard drive affecting the optical drive as well. If TTP was not able to do any diagnostic test, I am wondering if the problem might be with the optical drive.
The worst possibility would be a bad logic board.
Have you tried a PRAM reset?

These are just some guesses. With a known good battery and adaptor cable, you may be able to determine if the Left I/O Board is OK. However, you may end up needing to go to Apple or an AASP for a real diagnosis. If you are anywhere near an Apple Store, you can make an appointment at the genius bar and get an evaluation for free. If it's just a hard drive or the left I/O Board, the repair should not be too much. If the logic board, it could be quite expensive.
Good luck!
