Need help about external monitor

Hi, I recently purchased a LCD monitor. And I use it as eMac's external monitor because I don't like the CRT monitor on the eMac. The problem is how can I turn off the monitor on the eMac and just use my external monitor as the main one???

Po-Nan Lin,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
There's no switch or software patch that will blank the eMac's CRT while leaving the video out active. Short of ripping open the eMac and cutting the CRT's video cable (which not only obviously voids the warrenty but carries a definite safety risk due to the CRT's charge), there's no way to do what you want.

Need help with external monitor

ok here it is my duaghter pushed my powerbook off hte table and it broke the screen and i have purchased a dvi to vga adapter to work on a n external monitor is there anything else i need to do to make it work right now all i get is white screen anyhelp willbe greatly appreciated

The VGA adapter is only 4" long, do you have an extension? If so, the computer should register the adapter and the images should be displayed. Any more details would help to see what's wrong.

Need help connecting external monitor

My brother needs help with connecting an external monitor to his 20" iMac G5. He has the adapter with the standard monitor port, and when plugged in, the monitor duplicates the iMac screen. His question is, how can he set it so that the desktop is extended, instead of duplicated? I, myself, have a MacBook and two months ago I used my adapter to connect a projector, and I remember an option where I could choose between duplicate and extended desktop, and right now I tried to find it on my MacBook and well as my Intel iMac and I can't find the option, and neither can he.
Please help, thanks!

The iMac G5 can only mirror the internal display unless you hack the firmware.
Display options like that only appear when you connect a display which is why you can't see them on the MB at the moment.

Monitor(video) on emac blew up, need help with external monitor....

Hello everyone, I have an old Emac which the monitor popped and stopped working. I bought the plug and had an external older monitor working once, then I plugged in a newer monitor and now neither will work. The xternal monitor has a small blue rectangle bouncing around saying "please check pc display settings. I tried to reset the ram by restarting the Emac and holding down the command,option,p, and r buttons. This made the second restart sound, but the video still does not work. Is there another sequence to reset? Am I doomed now? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hello again, yes it was the picture tube that went. the smell was awful. The machine still runs, but since I plugged the flat screen monitor into it, it will not display either monitor. It was working once with an older monitor, but now it just diplays "adjust pc display settings". I needs to view the emac so I can retrieve my files. I've also tried resetting the pram, but that did not work. What can I do? I'm stuck. Thx.

Need help about ref cursor using like table

Hi Guys...
I am devloping package function And i need help about cursor
One of my function return sys_refcursor. And the return cursor need to be
join another table in database . I don't have to fetch all rows in cursor
All i need to join ref cursor and another table in sql clause
like below
select a.aa , b.cc form ( ref_cursor ) A, table B
where A.dd = B.dd
I appeciate it in advance

My understanding is that you have a function that returns a refcursor and is called by a java app.
Because this is a commonly used bit of code, you also want to reuse this cursor in other bits of sql and so you want to include it like table in a bit of sql and join that refcursor to other tables.
It's not as easy as you might hope but you can probably achieve this with pipelined functions.
Is it a direction that code should be going down? yes, eventually. I like the idea of pulling commonly used bits of code into a SQL statement especially into the WITH section, provided it could be used efficiently by the CBO.
Is it worth the effort given what you have to do currently to implement it? possibly not.
what else could you do? construct the sql statement independently of the thing that used it and reuse that sql statement rather than the refcursor it returns?

Need help about 1015

need help about 1015 it says connect iphone to itunes on screen i did it but it doesnt work and says unexpected 1015

Try restoring it: Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again.
If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
If you have backed up the iPhone in the past, select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".

Help Needed setting up external monitor

I have a Mac Pro with the standard video card giving me two DVI outputs. I have a Cinema Display as my main monitor and a 17" Panasonic broadcast monitor as my secondary monitor. I have a Matrox MXO box connected to the secondary DVI and a SDI cable running from Matrox MXO to Pana monitor. The screen is on and I can drag items over to it but I want to set it up as a external monitor and no matter what I select I see a message that the monitor is missing. Do you think its because I have it connected via SDI? Any ideas?
Darrin

External monitor to view your footage, or as a second desktop? Darn, I wish I had my MXO with me now...I'd figure this out. But I am sure in the MXO control panel there is a setting. Look in the PRESENTATION tab.

What resolution do I need in an external monitor for my 15" G4 Powerbook?

Hello mac friends this is my first post I really hope someone can help me out. I need to get an external monitor for my 15 powerbook g4 1.67 w/ 64 mb graphics card. I can not find any monitor on the market whos' native resolution matches that of my g4 (1280x854). Do I need to match the native res? I ideally would like a widescreen b/w 20 and 23", though I am not crazy about the apple displays (mainly the $). I am trying to figure out what native res I need to be looking for in an external monitor, etc. Anyone who can advise would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks- Jon
PowerBook G4 15inch 1.67ghz Mac OS X (10.4.9) low res, 1.5gb ram

The fact that you don't need to match the native resolution disguises a great and valuable feature: Your PowerBook can drive monitors higher than its native resolution. Check the specifications for your PowerBook to see how high it can go. (There's a Specifications link at the top of this page.)
For example, my PowerBook G4 native resolution is also 1280x854 like yours. I bought a 20" Apple Cinema Display which is 1680x1050. Is that a problem? No, it's GREAT. Because I didn't just double my screen space, the external more than doubled it thanks to the ability of the PowerBook video card to go beyond the native resolution. My PowerBook's specs say I could run a monitor up to 2048 by 1536 pixels. (Many Windows laptops have the same capability.)
You can go to any computer store and buy just about any monitor that has a DVI or VGA port on it, that is within the resolution range for your PowerBook, and it will work. Dell, Samsung, NEC, etc. should all be OK if you want to save money. DVI is better and plugs in directly, but if you buy VGA, you will need to use the VGA-DVI adapter that came with your PowerBook.

Busted Screen, Need Help Hooking Up Monitor

The screen on my Powerbook is totally busted so I tried hooking up a monitor to it, but it seems to not be working correctly. All I see is my desktop picture, and no icons (like the HD or folders on my desktop), dock, or even the menu bar are not showing up. At first, I thought it was a ratio issue since the monitor is more square than the laptop screen, and therefore cutting the edges out where the menu bar, etc. would lie, but I'm pretty sure that's not the issue. I'm guessing I have to go into my system prefs and set the computer up to work with the monitor, but the problem is since the screen's totally shot, I can't even go in and do that. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi, hobageeba. What is the maximum resolution offered by your external monitor (consult its manual or the manufacturer's online specs for it)?
If the external monitor's maximum resolution (1024 x 768 or 1600 x 1200, for example) is as large as or larger than the maximum resolution of your Powerbook's display, you may be able to get a normal desktop — including the menu bar, desktop icons, etc. — displayed on the external monitor by pressing the F7 key on the Powerbook's keyboard. That should toggle the external display from Extended Desktop mode into Display Mirroring mode, in which the same video signal is sent to both displays, allowing you to use the external as the main display. (Note: under some circumstances, toggling F7 has no effect — and I don't know what circumstances, or why not. If it doesn't seem to do anything, it probably hasn't done anything, and it won't be helpful to you.)
Typically, if the external monitor's resolution is higher than the built-in display's, a mirrored video image will be displayed in the center of it surrounded by black, instead of filling the monitor. That wastes screen real estate, but at least you know you're seeing the whole desktop, and if your monitor is good, the image will be as sharp as it was on the built-in display when it worked.
If the external monitor has a lower maximum resolution than the built-in screen, the results of switching to Mirrored mode are less predictable. You may see only the center of the desktop, with the menu bar, hard drive icon, and other icons that were at the edges of the desktop "displayed" outside the edges of the external monitor. In that case it may be impossible to tell the difference between Mirrored and Extended Desktop modes, depending on what your desktop background image is. I don't know of a way to overcome that.
Whatever you find out about the monitor's resolution, give the F7 toggle a try and see what happens.

Need help about button

Hi everybody!
I'm from Italy, so I need help regarding button
I create an animation, I put a button to replay the movie by this code:

gotoAndPlay(1);
but in AS3 doesn't work. Can you help me pls?
Another problem...I need a very simple preloader that display only percentage, stop.
Anybody knows a template or tutorial about this?
Thx in advance!

What do you mean by scene2?. You can only preload external content like a picture, another swf, etc...a much simpler example:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChildAt(myLoader,0)
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.snowman-jim.org/science/images/north-pole-sun-moon.jpg"))
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loading)
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, finishLoading)
function loading(e:ProgressEvent):void{
info_txt.text="Loading.."Math.floor(e.currentTarget.bytesLoaded/1024)" Kb";//e.currentTarget is referring to myLoader.contentLoaderInfo
function finalizado(e:Event):void{
info_txt.text="I'm done!";
Just change myLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.snowman-jim.org/science/images/north-pole-sun-moon.jpg")) path for the relevant path to the file you want to preload.
