Multi display options for MBP using USB - Diamond BVU195 vs Sewell Minideck

I have narrowed my search for a multidisplay option for my MBP down to 2 devices;
Diamond BVU195
http://www.diamondmm.com/BVU195.php
http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-BVU195-Display-Adapter-included/dp/B002GHBW4S
and
Sewell Mindeck
http://sewelldirect.com/Sewell-Minideck-USB-to-DVI-Display-Adapter.asp
Has anyone had a chance to check out both of these?
There is no easy comparison, any opinions? thanks!

The obvious drawback of USB video adapters like these is that they tie up USB ports you may need for other purposes. If you intend to connect one or more such adapters to a USB hub instead of directly to the computer, be sure to use a hub that has its own AC power supply, and check with the adapter's manufacturer to make sure it has been tested with hubs and found to work that way.
The less obvious disadvantage of USB video adapters is slowness. If you don't use your multiple displays for gaming or other high-speed, demanding video applications, you may not be disappointed. If you do, you probably will be.

Need a JavaScript to enable/view Multi-line option for Text fields.

Hello All,
I need a JavaScript to enable/view Multi-line option for all the Text fields in PDF Form.
Assume that I have a PDF form of Fields from F1 to F100 and it contains 25 Checkboxes, 25 Combo Box and 50 Text Fields. Now i need a javascript for which i need to enable Multiline for only Text Fields. So Is there any JS for which i can enable the Multiline option for only Text fields and not for ComboBox or Checkbox.

Is there a key on the MacBook Pro to toggle display options for a projector

I have had some difficulty getting my InFocus projector to consistently work correctly with my MacBook Pro. Is there a key on the MacBook Pro that toggles the options for projector display? There was one on my last MacBook and my previous PowerBook.
Thanks -
Dudley Warner

No, there is no longer a key to control external display modes (it's F7 on my 1st gen MBP, but the option was removed along with the embedded numeric keypad in the Early 2008 models). There's not a substitute keyboard shortcut (with the exception of installing a macro player like Keyboard Maestro). Your main option is System Preferences > Displays (as stated, ticking the box to show Displays in the menu bar provides a helpful shortcut).

Is there a way you can select a display option for Safari pages on the OS5?

The tabbed version of Safari for the ipad2 is nice but the old one is better. Is there a way we can select a display option that lets a user toggle between the two?

No, Safari on the iPad in iOS 5 uses tabbed browsing. You can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Display Option For Previous 15" Unibody??

To start, I am not asking for advice on glossy vs matte. However, I prefer matte and would like to purchase the new 15" unibody MBP. I can decide to wait it out and see if Apple announces a matte option for the 15" MBP within the next few months or bite the bullet and get the glossy display.
*I could not find this information but did the previous 15" MBP Unibody have an option for matte finish (model previous to the WWDC update)?*
My thinking is that if there was an option, there is a chance they will introduce a matte option with the new 15" MBP unibody. If they did not have an option, I do not see them introducing a matte finish anytime in the near future.
Thanks

The previous unibody 15" MacBook Pro, launched in October 2008, didn't have a matte option. It had a glossy glass screen.
The new 15" MacBook Pros, launched in June 2009, still don't have a matte screen option.

In 'Desktop' the display options for the chosen image have vanished.

I have an iMac with Snow Leopard.
Using the option 'Desktop' in 'Desktop and Screen Saver', on choosing an image, under the name ofm the image chosen, there is usually a list of options for how the image is displayed :-
Tile
Fuil screen
Fit to screen
These are no longer displayed. Where is the option for switching the list back on?
I have tried restarting.
Thanks in advance
David

Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.
Please post back the results.

Multi display options imac

I take it from the configuration of the new imacs that the option to have a second display running on my imac has disappeared, is there a work around for this?

I'm using a brand new hdmi cable (works fine with my pc!) and a belkin thunderbolt adapter.
Please don't insult me by assuming I didn't follow the instructions-- which include using the tabs that don't appear!!!
Yes, I connected the tv as instructed. Unfortunately the problem is that the tv doesn't recognize the macbook pro and, yes, I did try both of the solutions -- plugging in the connection before powering up the computer, and putting it to sleep and then making the connections. I usually try any and all suggestions before posting a request for help.
As I stated above, the cable works fine with my acer laptop. The only difference is that I need the adapter for my macbook pro - and purchased one from Belkin. It fits perfectly and the connections are secure and tight. I cannot choose the detect display, since it is not there. I cannot choose the arrangements tab, since it is not there, either.

External Hard Drive Options for Back Up - USB 2.0 or FireWire

Needing some advice on this one. Looking to purchase an external hard drive for back up through Time Machine - also running Win XP via Parallels. Should I go USB 2.0 or FireWire or have both options? Is there any difference in speed? I will be also using the external hard drive as needed for other manual back ups and data transfers eg movie projects. (and yes the Macbook has Firewire).
Would appreciate some comment / recommendations.

Hey Pluke and welcome to the forum -
Firewire is faster overall for data transfers especially large or lengthy ones. With this in mind, I would use an external enclosure that has both Firewire and USB.
I'm not sure if this was part of your question or not but I would not include your virtual machine (xp) in your Time Machine backup. The reason is it will fill up your backup drive quickly because your TM backup copies hourly every file that has changes made to it. Your VM file is both large (the size of the virtual drive) and has changes even if you just have it open and not really using it. You should include your VM file in your manual backup instead.

Taking display value for calculations using structures in Bex query

Hi
I am using Bex analyzer to do a simple report with two key figures Sales and Plans from cube and two more calculated key figures Abs Deviation and % error. The report displays at category and product levels. Category is higher and one category contains multiple products.
The simple formulas for the two calculated KF are,
1. Abs Deviation = Abs (Sales Plans).
Abs Deviation is set with the property Calculate result as summation to add up Abs deviations at product level to show at Category level.
2. % Error = Abs Deviation / Plan.
The issue is with the % Error value at category level. At product level, all the values are showing correctly.
To illustrate the issue with a simple test case,
CategryProductSale-PlanAbs Dev----%Error
C1--P1--100-60---40--
67%
C1--P2---50120---70--
58%
C1 Total--150180---110--
17%
Observe that in the output the calculation for %Error at product level is correct all the way. But the summary
calculation for Error% i.e. C1 total which is showing as 17% is wrong. The correct value as per the formula should be 110/180 = 61%.
SAP, through OSS replied that it is not a bug but the default behavior of OLAP calculation. OLAP processor first calculates the formula for % Error and then shows the display value at C1 total for Abs Dev. Meaning, % Error is calculated first and next the summation for Abs dev is displayed. Abs dev 110 at C1 level is only a display value but not the value taken for % Error at C1 level. Instead OLAP calculates the Abs Dev at C1 level by Total sale Total plan = 180 150 = 30 and the % Error calculation takes this 30 value in the formula and gives % Error = 30/180 * 100 = 17% at C1 level. But 17% doesn't make any sense to the user. Further, to display value of 61% at % Error at C1, it is being advised that by defining two structures, I can force the calculation to take display value of 110 in the % Error calculation at C1 level by using the cell editor.
Has any body tried to achieve similar result as above by defining two structures and cell editor in the query? If so, can you please throw some pointers of how to define two structures in a query and how to force the % Error at category level to take the display value of 110 in the calculation? I have gone through the documentaion on structures and cell editor but the approach is not at all clear.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Best external drive for backup using USB port on TC

My Time Capsule drive is too small and I would like to use a USB hub and plug it into the port on the device. I will have a printer and external drive plugged into the hub, which will be plugged into the Time Capsule.
What type of external drive is best for this, considering it will be on all the time?
Thanks.

FWIW, I have a number of the NewerTech miniStack external hard drive enclosures. You can get these pre-equipped with drives or add your own. They run very cool and quiet and I've not experienced any problems with them and have been operating them 24x7 for quite some time.

Modem options for MacPro use with Brother printer/fax/modem

I have a MacPro without a modem but could get and install one, I suppose. I have a Brother printer that, I think, will fax to and from the computer [MFC-8670-DN] but can't set it up without a modem of course. I do have a modem in a Cube that still works.
Wht's the best way to go? Get modem and install in MacPro, use Cube and PageSender or somehow work out Cube send/receipt but ultimately connecting to MacPro?
Thanks for any help in figuring this out. I want to fax from MacPro desktop and receive to MacPro desktop. I do have Page Sender but no modem in the MacPro, thus the issue.

You can purchase the USB Modem from Apple for around $49.

Global display options for equal columns of different tables

Hi,
is it possible to create some kind of templates for tables which are nearly the same! I mean different table names, different content and some columns are equal.
e.g. I've got a a lot of Error tables, in every table there is a column named Reload Flag, which should be displayed as a List of value, can i set this by default. Or for example I've got a column named Error message and i display it as a standard report column, but i always have to edit the column formatting, because the column is very broad. I have to change the CSS Style ( {width:30em;} )!

Hi,
Yes, It must be working using rowid since its not mention anywhere, I could not post it. But I too think so.

17 select loc into v_mydept2 from dept where deptno=v_mydept1;
18 Dbms_output.put_line('Record updated '||v_mydept2);

22 /
Declare

ORA-06512: at line 16The logic doesnot make sense, but if you can notice the error speaks about rowid.
For update locks the specific rows listed in the cursor and Where Current Of Clause must be taking in account the rows as per thier ROWID.

MPEG Streamclip options for iMovie use and for iDVD use

Hi.
This is my first posting so I apologise for all procedural inadequacies.
I am doing a montage of clips from different DVDs, using the DVDs as source material. For this I first run the DVDs through MPEG Streamclip, pick the relevant clips, then export the .VOB files as Quicktime files, then import them into iMovie HD, editing them together in it. I then save the montage as an iMovie HD project, import it into iDVD in order to burn a separate DVD which can be played on regular DVD players and on TV sets.
Everything looks fine until I see the final product on the TV screen. The picture quality is poor and it seems that the frame rate is odd. The sound is muffled, too. What am I doing wrong? I am not sure if I am choosing the right options in the MPEG Streamclip – Movie Exporter window (Compression, Quality, Frame Size, Frame Blending, Field Dominance, Interlaced Scaling, Reinterlace Chroma, Deinterlace Video etc.) I’m not even sure how relevant this is for this problem. I even tried exporting DVD .VOB files as MPEG4 files and as DV files instead of as Quicktime files, hoping the picture and overall quality would be better. It works in iMovie HD but when I try to import the edited montage into iDVD it won’t recognize it.
I’m stuck. Does anyone know what the optimal set of options is for what I’m trying to do? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
P.S. How do I alter the DV-NTSC setting which iMovie HD seems to have as default on the top of its window as soon as it starts up? I am in the UK and need to know that all is always set to PAL.

export the .VOB files as Quicktime files
"QuickTime" is rather vague, because it includes A LOT of very different codecs and qualities!
You want to output PAL/NTSC DV_streams if you want to import it to iMovie/iDVD! If the source is PAL, output PAL and vice versa (converting decent quality PAL<->NTSC is another can of worms).
But: if you want to preserve quality, you really should edit MPEG and re-author it as a DVD, and forget iMovie/iDVD because they want DV, and converting DVD->DV->DVD will lose quality!
