Need help in connecting Dell Monitor to Dell Inspiron

I recently purchased an Inspiron 17R laptop to reduce the high usage of my Precision M6600 laptop. A Dell U2312HM monitor was used with the Precision as a second monitor and I want to use it with the newly acquired Inspiron system as a second monitor. The video ports differ on both of these computers and I have not been successful in getting the monitor to work with the Inspiron. While the Precision uses an older VGA connection, the newer Inspiron uses an HDMI connection. To further complicate the issue, the monitor has several ports for connecting to a video output source which includes VGA, DisplayPort, DVI and ports for upstream and downstream USB connections, but not including HDMI. I used a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cable in attempting to connect the Inspiron to the monitor but could not produce a picture on the monitor screen. This monitor continues to respond correctly when attached to the Precision via the VGA cable & port so I'm confused as to why I've had no luck in tying the monitor to the new system with the DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. How can the Inspiron 17R be successfully connected to the Dell U2312HM monitor?

Computer HDMI out cannot upconvert to a monitor DP (DisplayPort) in using a straight cable.
What you bought is designed to do the opposite =
Computer DP out to monitor HDMI in
Regardless of port, you will only ever get 1920x1080 on the U2313HM. Return that cable. Purchase an HDMI to DVI cable =
Computer HDMI out --> HDMI to DVI cable --> U2313HM DVI in

TS1398 I need help getting connected to our home wifi.

I need help getting connected to our home wifi. I've reset network settings, iPhone, and router but the error "unable to join network" keeps coming up. I also double checked the password. Please help

Other possibilities:
Your router firmware is out of date. Check the manufacturer's website for an update
You have MAC (Media Access Control) filtering enabled on the router, that restricts access to "known" devices and the new iPhone is not on the table of known devices
Your router has a setting limiting the number of simultaneous allowed devices
Your routers SSID ("name") is still the default (e.g., LINKSYS, DLINK, NETGEAR, etc). Your phone has encountered other routers with the same name as you have traveled, and the phone is confused as to which router is the real one. If your router's name is still the default you should change it.

Need help: W520 connecting 2 external monitors

Hi,
I just bought two new monitors and trying to connect both of them with W520. Both monitors are 1920*1080 and have VGA, DVI, and DP. (No HDMI)
I know one solution that probably going to work is to connect one with displayport and the other with VGA.
However, I really hope I could use digital signals for both of them since VGA is still not completely as good as displayport or DVI.
As the displayport on W520 is the only digital output, I called the technical support to ask if I could use a dp->dvi converter and a dvi splitter to connect both monitors. The technical support confirmed this. But I still don't know if I should use a dp->dual-link dvi or just a regular dp->dvi.
I've also read the reviews of USB->DVI adapters. The common problem they have is that videos could not be smoothly played.
I don't want to buy the dock or an active converter since they cost too much. So, please suggest what is the most economic solution if I want to get 2 digital output from W520.
Thanks!

[Reviving this slightly old topic because it still comes up on Google searches ...]
I wanted to report my successes with 3 screens - the laptop screen and two external monitors - with a W520 quad-core and a MiniDock Plus 3 - 4338 - 90 Watt. Both external monitors are connected to the MiniDock with DisplayPort cables.
a) Win7 Ultimate was easy to set up with the drivers 83de42ww (8.17.12.7593/8.15.10.2538, dated 2011-12-14). BIOS in Optimus mode, but disabled OS detection. I can use the Windows 7 "screen resolution" applet to configure the resolution and relative location of the monitors. Only issue: I have to do that each time I dock - otherwise it boots/revives from sleep using only the laptop's screen. I never use the Intel or NVidia consoles to do anything.
b) Windows Server 2008 R2 was MUCH harder to get going - largely because I was doing it six months later and using the latest drivers. The drivers in 83de44ww (8.17.12.7658/8.14.10.2538, dated 2012-04-20) just do not work for this purpose - I could not get all three screens going no matter what I tried. So I uninstalled the NVidia drivers and Intel drivers (in that order!) and installed 83de42ww (as in (a) above) and now it works fine. Even better: it remembers when I dock to light up all three displays without me having to adjust anything. To get it to work, though, I had to use the NVidia control panel to set screen resolutions. After that, the Windows "screen resolution" applet now works fine.
c) Back in November when I was trying to get 4 screens going I found a Lenovo PDF that described all kinds of display configurations for the W520. Can't find it online now. Anyway, it certainly implied that 4 screens (3 external) worked, but I couldn't get it to happen. Now I'm glad you've pointed to this specification that contains the following remarkable facts: First, that you can get 4 monitors working with the 170W MiniDock Plus, and you can also get it working with the 90W MiniDock Plus (which is what I have) ONLY IF you've got a DUAL-core, not a quad-core (I have a quad-core). Very interesting! Perhaps the quad core sucks up just enough extra energy that the NVidia chip isn't left with enough to power 3 video signals. Unfortunate.
d) I don't know why I have the 90W MiniDock Plus - Can anyone advise me? I've got a 170W brick that says it delivers 8.5 amps at 20V, that's 170W alright. But the bottom of the MiniDock says it accepts 4.5 amps at 20V, thats 90W. So did they just ship me the wrong MiniDock with the right brick?

Need help with connecting file inputs to arrays

In this assignment I have a program that will do the following: display a list of names inputed by the user in reverse order, display any names that begin with M or m, and display any names with 5 or more letters. This is all done with arrays.
That was the fun part. The next part requires me to take the names from a Notepad file, them through the arrays and then output them to a second Notepad file.
Here is the original program: (view in full screen so that the code doesn't get jumbled)
import java.io.*; //Imports the Java library
class progB //Defines class
 public static void main (String[] arguments) throws IOException
 BufferedReader keyboard; //<-
 InputStreamReader reader; // Allows the program to
 reader = new InputStreamReader (System.in); // read the the keyboard
 keyboard = new BufferedReader (reader); //<-
 String name; //Assigns the name variable which will be parsed into...
 int newnames; //...the integer variable for the amount of names.
 int order = 0; //The integer variable that will be used to set the array size
 String[] array; //Dynamic array (empty)
 System.out.println (" How many names do you want to input?"); //This will get the number that will later define the array
 name = keyboard.readLine ();
 newnames = Integer.parseInt (name); // Converts the String into the Integer variable
 array = new String [newnames]; //This defines the size of the array
 DataInput Imp = new DataInputStream (System.in); //Allows data to be input into the array
 String temp;
 int length; //Defines the length of the array for a loop later on
 for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
 { // Takes the inputed names and
 System.out.println (" Please input name "); // gives them a number according to
 temp = keyboard.readLine (); // the order they were inputed in
 array [order] = temp; //<-
 for (order = newnames - 1 ; order >= 0 ; order--) //<-
 { // Outputs the names in the reverse
 System.out.print (" \n "); // order that they were inputed
 System.out.println (" Name " + order + " is " + array [order]); //<-
 for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
 if (array [order].startsWith ("M") || array [order].startsWith ("m")) // Finds and outputs any and all
 { // names that begin with M or m
 System.out.print (" \n "); //
 System.out.println (array [order] + (" starts with M or m")); //
 } //<-
 for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
 length = array [order].length (); //
 if (length >= 5) // Finds and outputs names
 { // with 5 or more letters
 System.out.print (" \n "); //
 System.out.println ("Name " + array [order] + " have 5 or more letters "); //<-
}The notepad file contains the following names:
jim
laruie
tim
timothy
manny
joseph
matty
amanda
I have tried various methods but the one thing that really gets me is the fact that i can't find a way to connect the names to the arrays. Opening the file with FileInputStream is easy enough but using the names and then outputing them is quite hard. (unless i'm thinking too hard and there really is a simple method)

By "connect", do you just mean you want to put the names into an array?
array[0] = "jim"
array[1] = "laruie"
and so on?
That shouldn't be difficult at all, provided you know how to open a file for reading, and how to read a line of text from it. You can just read the line of text, put it in the array position you want, until the file is exhausted. Then open a file for writing, loop through the array, and write a line.
What part of all that do you need help with?

Need Help for connectivity USB Cable Nokia 5800 ca...

Hi All,
I really need help to solve my problems. I just bought nokia 5800 XM last week. I already installed the CD software in my windows XP, but it seems that PC cannot recognize the USB cables. I have plug in an unplugged... At firstime it detects my nokia 5800 XM, but when I open PC suite or OVI, it doesn't connect the USB cables into PC. I already install and uninstall The OVI suite but it is still the same, when I try it in OVI suite to detect my phones, it doesn't react.... I also have download from Nokia website to install manually Nokia USB cable driver for my cable type CA-101... it seems nothing works here... tell me what should I do? I don't think that the USB cable I bought is fake, it has original guarantee..... please desperately need help! Anybody?

When you plug the phone into the computer, ON THE PHONE it should ask you which mode to connect in, and you should select "PC Suite" mode. Does this happen?

I need help installing iTunes on my new Dell Inspiron with Windows 7.

When I attempt to install iTunes (downloading from the iTunes website) on my new Dell Inspiron with Windows 7, I get the following error message, "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."
Please help. Thank you.

Have you tried to install other programmes on the same PC? If they have worked, your installer should be in working order, so redownload iTunes and try again

Getting a new pc in the coming week, and I need to connect my one monitor to 2 pcs. I was looking into geting a KVM switch, but I am going to buy a new keyboard,and mouse.

Xorg need help - I fried my monitor

:(:( I just fried my 3 year-old babe s monitor, might have been because of the &^%#@*#$ xorg.conf
with auto generated xorg.conf by hwd -xa, i managed to have dwm for a while, and there came D-Day, i left the laptop on for a 3 hours working on other stuff, when i came back, i was welcome with a ominous black screen omg. Since then, i havent had any success revive the monitor again, HDD, VGA onboard chip .... everything is working just fine, but the monitor...
so i plugged in an extra LCD and temporary used it
I think because i ignored the warning: "This will fry old monitor" and i thought my laptop isnt that old :/
Now i just got a new Dell Inspiron 1545 which has df resolution 1376x768
so i have a couple questions, please help me so that i wont destroy the new one :P
1+ are the Horizontal sync and Vertical Refresh rate very important? and if yes, which range should i use to be considered "safe choice"?
I m currently using default HorizSync 28.00 - 78.00 and VertRefresh 50.00 -75.00 (default by hwd -xa) on Intel X4500HD using xf86-video-intel driver in extra repo. I couldnt find these information in the manual :|
2+ any idea how i destroyed the old monitor ?
3+ anybody used Dell Inpsiron 1545, can i see your xorg.conf ? thanks
thanks a lot

No, It's not your faulth. By "Old" monitor it means old crt. Probably it was about time to change the laptop (or low quiality lcd was installed) ;p
Also you should be able to run without xorg.conf - just install driver for your video card.
EDIT:
Also when an LCD monitor can't display certain mode it gives "Out of range" error, it doesn't try anyway.

I'm new, please bear with me, I need help with connecting Airport extreme

I have been using a Dell desktop pc, running Windows XP for the past few years. I have a dsl modem, (qwest m1000)hooked up for my internet acces. Just bought a new MacPro laptop and the airport extreme. Can I connect the new router to my dsl mdem and have both my desktop and my laptop connect to the internet? If so, how do I do this? thanks for your help!

Welcome to the Mac side twoo.
Airport Utility is the program you'll use to connect to and set up your Extreme. What you want to do is pretty straightforward. Airport Utility will take you by the hand in setting it up.
Power down the DSL modem before you connect it to your Extreme for the first time.

CS5.5 need help with connecting to wsdl

Hello,
I'm new to Dreamweaver CS5.5 and i'm looking for a simple way to connect to a CFC wsdl web service.
Basically need to pass 1 parameter to the webservice and have it return a string result from our database.
Is this possible to do from dreamweaver, using javascript ?
thanks.

Those crosshairs are controllers for an effect. The first thing to do is to start turning off layers (eyeball) until you find the layer with the crosshairs. Once you've isolated the layer make sure that it's not a pre-comp, press F3 to reveal the ECW, and check the effects. If you can't turn the effects on and off then or access any of the settings the layer is locked. What would really help here is a screenshot. I can't tell much from the photo because I can't see what's under the hood.

Yikes! I need HELP RE: connecting my iPod Nano!

I just bought a 4G iPod Nano TODAY. I'm kind of "electronically challenged." So I plugged my Nano into my computer, using the very brief instructions that were provided with my Nano. My songs loaded fine, but when I removed the Nano from my computer, I could not get the USB cord out of my Nano. Of course, like a *******, I pulled and pulled and pulled, until the wires started coming out of the connection. Then I really started freaking out! Got out my pliers, and finally was able to remove the connector. However, in doing so, I have now done something so that a new connector won't go in. I realized AFTER I had done all of this that I needed to press on the two sides of the connection in order to get it out of the Nano. Does anyone know if Apple will fix this? I am going to cry if this can't be fixed. Please let me know ASAP. I don't think I can sleep until I find out. Thanks for your help.

this falls into the category of abuse, so no, i don't believe apple will fix it. i would try buying a new cord first, see if that helps. unless it is the nano's connector that is messed up, then you are SOL.

Need help for connecting Ms Acces with java Swing in Mac OS

Hi all,
i need to connect to Ms Access in MAc os through my java swing program.
Is it possible for accessing Ms access through dsn in Mac OS.
If Possible which driver shall i use for Establishing Connection with MS Access in Mac OS.
Suggestion is needed urgently.
Can anybody help me out regarding this..
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
sreand

if I don't find a better solution I'll try your 2nd option but what do you mean by "combo" update?
My understanding is to simply insert the OS 10.5 installation CD, reinstall the OS and the just keep updating it via the OS SSoftware update panel and stop untill I see the scary Java 8 update. Is that what you meant?
While you can do it that way, the combo update picks up operating system updates through a collection of releases. When dealing with operating system upgrades, I've found using the combo updates to be more reliable than Software Update, as sometimes Software Update doesn't apply updates correctly, and weird things can happen. Doesn't happen often though, thankfully.
So the OS X 10.5.5 Combo update contains all updates between 10.5.0 and 10.5. The 10.5.8 combo update contains the updates from 10.5 thru 10.8. Here are the updates:
10.5 combo update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL692
10.8 combo update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL866
If you go down the combo path, repair permissions before and after doing each update. Then do Software Update for any other non-OS X updates, and don't apply the Java Update 8.

Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
Go to tahiti.oracle.com.
Drill down to your product and version.
BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab (for 10.x) or the "Master Book List" link (for 11.x) you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
- Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.
