Only mirroring when connecting to TV screen?

Hi,
I have a Samsung TV and connected it to my MacBook Pro via MDP-to-HDMI adaptor. I set it up following the TV manual, but I can only get a space without the dock or anything. Just a desktop picture, (the Mac "Galaxy' - ironic... ) and an empty dashboard. When I go to System Prefs on my Mac it also opens on the TV screen. But no other app. Then I tick on 'mirroring' for display prefs and can see my Mac desktop on the Samsung TV screen and work normally. I wonder, however, if I could use the TV screen alone or, at least, use that TV 'space' as a separate full working space. BTW, that 'space' with its empty dashboard, it does not show when I swipe spaces on my Mac, nor can I swipe on the TV screen to get my MBP desktop outside the mirror mode. I'm probably lacking the right knowledge here. So, have anyone made a better experience wth TV screens?
Thanks
Guy

Gzk,
After you connect and the image is mirrioring go to system preferences>displays, arrangement tab, un tick mirroring. You will then see 2 windows in the pane, one with a white top and 1 without, you can drag the white top to either side that side will be the screen that stays on your built in. you can then drag (clicking and holding a second window (application) off to the side of the screen and that will show on the TV. (By clicking and sragging the top bar on the application.
Also if you click Show displays in the menu abr, it will put an icon there that you can click on and access the display prefs faster and easier
hope this helps
You should run software update to get to 10.7.5
Best

I need to scan wirelessly from a MAC (OS 1.7 or higher) through Adobe Acrobat Pro X (or higher). Have discovered that all in one printers say they are MAC compatible but will only scan when connected with a USB cable. Would prefer a laser, color, all in

I need to scan wirelessly from a MAC (OS 1.7 or higher) through Adobe Acrobat Pro X (or higher). Have discovered that all in one printers say they are MAC compatible but will only scan when connected with a USB cable. Would prefer a laser, color, all in one. Does anyone have printer suggestions that you know will scan wirelessly?

Great information.

Sending contents to windows authenticated service results in an error - "Content option is only supported when connecting anonymously."

Error results when trying to send JSON content to a service which is internally hosted and requires windows authentication.
Here is the sample code :
let
Content1 = "{""query"":....."},
Source1 = Web.Contents("http://MyWindowsAuthenTicatedService:####/" ,[Content=Text.ToBinary(Content1)])
in
Source1
Here is exact text from the error:
[DataSource.Error] Web.Contents with the Content option is only supported when connecting anonymously.
BTW, I tried configuring the Privacy and "Fast Combine" options and that does not work either
Thanks for your help !

Thanks Curt, for the prompt reply.
In our case, the users are internal and so is the service which accepts the content. Once the user is authenticated by the windows account, it reasonable to allow content.
Would it not be better anyway to have the restriction for anonymous access as opposed to this case where the account is already authenticated on an internal windows domain ?

IPod only charges when connect to the Mac

My iPod will only charge when connected to the Mac. It will not charge on any other cable or docking station. And, yes, I have tested the various cables and docking stations with other devices and the issue is clearly only with this one device. I am note sure what generation the device is, but it is old enough that it cannot run iOS 7. It is on iOS 6.1.5.
Thanks

Then it seems that the other sources do not work satisfactorily. Do the other charging sources charge other devices?

HT4914 why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

I had this problem too - of grayed out music I could only play when in WIFI. I noticed when looking in iTunes, these grayed song were not chosen by me to sync on to my iPhone. They were stored in iCloud. I went to Settings > Music and then turned off "Show All Music" so only music that has been dowloaded to my iPhone will be shown.
I don't have iTunes Match, so you may have a different issue than what I had.

I have the same probelm and I'm trying to find out.

My iPhone will only operate when connected to the PC, 2 minutes max after I disconnect it, the screen reverts to black with the apple logo and then completely black. Restoring makes no difference; any ideas anyone? en

my iPhone fell on the floor yesterday; now it will ony operate when connected to the PC - then it works fine. If I disconnect it from the PC, the screen reverts to black with the apple logo, eventually completely black; iPhone is unresponsive until reconnected to PC. Any ideas anyone?

You broke it.
It's time to find yourself a competent 3rd party repair shop or just buy a new phone. I believe you can get an out of warranty replacement from Apple for $149 (not absolutely positive they still offer them for the 3G), but given the age of the phone and the cost, a new one might make more sense.

DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_chain() only works when connected to DB as sys

Database Version: 10.2.0.4.0
Hello,
I have a problem with DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_chain where the Chain to be run references an external Program.
The Chain runs correctly when run via SQLPLUS when you are connected to the database as SYS but fails to run when you are connected to the Database as the User who owns the Chain.
The complete steps to recreate the problem are below. Any thoughts or suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks,
Andy
STEP 1: Login with sys as sysdba and create a new user
CREATE USER chaintest IDENTIFIED BY password PROFILE DEFAULT ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
GRANT MGMT_USER TO chaintest;
GRANT CONNECT TO chaintest;
GRANT IMP_FULL_DATABASE TO chaintest;
GRANT SCHEDULER_ADMIN TO chaintest;
GRANT MANAGE SCHEDULER TO chaintest;
GRANT EXECUTE ANY CLASS TO chaintest;
GRANT CREATE ANY DIRECTORY TO chaintest;
GRANT CREATE ANY JOB TO chaintest;
GRANT CREATE TABLE TO chaintest;
GRANT EXECUTE ANY PROGRAM TO chaintest;
GRANT CREATE JOB TO chaintest;
GRANT CREATE EXTERNAL JOB TO chaintest;
STEP 2: Create a very simple batch file
Create a folder called c:\chaintest and create a text file in there whose entire contents
is "notepad.exe" followed by a carriage return. The idea is that if this batch file is
called a notepad Window will be opened so we can clearly see if the batch file has run.
STEP 3: Create a DBMS_SCHEDULER Program
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_PROGRAM (
program_name => 'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM',
program_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
program_action => 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CMD.EXE /q /c c:\chaintest\chaintest.bat',
number_of_arguments => 3,
enabled => false);
DBMS_SCHEDULER.define_program_argument(
program_name =>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM',
argument_position => 1,
argument_type => 'VARCHAR2',
default_value => '/q');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.define_program_argument(
program_name =>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM',
argument_position => 2,
argument_type => 'VARCHAR2',
default_value => '/c');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.define_program_argument(
program_name =>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM',
argument_position => 3,
argument_type => 'VARCHAR2',
default_value => 'c:\chaintest\chaintest.bat');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.enable('CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM');
END;
STEP 4: Create a chain
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_CHAIN (chain_name => 'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN');
END;
STEP 5: Create the only Chain Step
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.DEFINE_CHAIN_STEP(chain_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN'
, step_name=>'STEPA'
, program_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM');
END;
STEP 6: Create Chain Rules
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.DEFINE_CHAIN_RULE(
chain_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN'
, condition=>'TRUE'
, action=>'START STEPA');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.DEFINE_CHAIN_RULE(
chain_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN'
, condition=>'STEPA COMPLETED'
, action=>'END');
END;
STEP 7: Enable the Chain
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.enable('CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN');
END;
STEP 8: Run the Chain whilst still connected as sys and observe that a Notepad window opens
confirming that the Batch file ran successfully.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_chain(
chain_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN'
, start_steps=>NULL);
END;
STEP 9: Connect to the database as the CHAINTEST user and run the same command as in STEP 8 above.
Observe that even though you receive the message "PL/SQL procedure successfully completed." and do
not see any error messages that no Notepad Window is opened indicating that the Batch file was NOT run.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_chain(
chain_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN'
, start_steps=>NULL);
END;

>
The Chain runs correctly when run via SQLPLUS when you are connected to the database as SYS but fails to run when you are connected to the Database as the User who owns the Chain.
>
Not true based on what you posted. The chain DOES RUN connected as SYS and when connected as the User who owns the chain.
You posted steps that show that SYS is the user that owns the program and thus the chain.
>
STEP 1: Login with sys as sysdba and create a new user
STEP 8: Run the Chain whilst still connected as sys and observe that a Notepad window opens
confirming that the Batch file ran successfully.
>
I don't see where you made any EXECUTE grant to user 'chaintest' that would allow that user to execute the program.
See the Usage Notes in the CREATE PROGRAM section of DBMS_SCHEDULER in the Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28419/d_sched.htm#CIHEHDHA
>
For other users to use your programs, they must have EXECUTE privileges, therefore once a program has been created, you have to grant EXECUTE privileges on it.
>
Grant the EXECUTE privilege to user 'chaintest' and try it.

Only green when connecting thru an hdmi to component video converter

I get only green color display when connecting Apple TV 2nd gen thru an hdmi to component video converter and I tried resetting and all the video output options - any ideas???

Only HDMI is officially supported with the device. There will be no guarantee with a converter.

Does Siri only work when connected to WiFi

Does Siri only work when you are connected to a Wifi? Mine does not seem to work through the 4G cell network.

It works over WiFi or cellular.
If you are using 4G cell network, are you using something like a Verizon MiFi 4510L to create a hotspot that your iPhone 4S is using?
There are other issues with Siri that are going on - perhaps that is what you are seeing?

My Ipod touch 4th gen. only shows the "connect to Itunes" screen.

I think this happened after an Ipod update. I can turn it off and on, but the only screen I get is the "connect to Itunes" screen ( usb cord with arrow to itunes logo). I have tried to restart, restore, but nothing works. I have also reinstalled Itunes. The Ipod is not recognized in Itunes, either. Any ideas? Thanks!

As there is no sound only picture when connecting my ipad, do I need to also use the audio cable from Apple TV to an older Philips TV?

I have just bought a black Apple TV and it works fine when connecting my iPad to a modern TV. However on an older Philips TV, there is no sound coming through. Do I need to use an audio cable from the optical digital audio port in addition to the HDMI cable? The TV's HDMI does not appear to support sound.

Thanks. However no luck with this TV so far. I've purchased a converter to give a digital audio signal from the optical digital audio output port. The TV has an input audio digital port, but I've had no success in getting sound so far.
Is there any setting in the Apple TV menu that may affect the signal. I've tried the setting for 16 bit signal, without any success.
Perhaps this Philips TV may just not be compatible with the new black Apple TV. I have talked at some length with Philips support desk, but they've offered nothing new.

Playbook won't run on battery. Only runs when connected to charger.

My playbook battery shows 100% charge, but immediately shuts off when I unplug the charger. When I plug it in it will boot up after red light comes on then flashing green fifteen times and work properly, until I disconnect the playbook charger. I also cannot connect it to my computer anymore.
Unable to find a solution to this exact problem. Any suggestions are appreciated.

First I would like you to do a Back Up of your PlayBook using your computer and BlackBerry Desktop Software.
This can be downloaded for free from http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
After the Back Up is complete I need you to unplug your PlayBook and then push and hold down the Power Button until the unit Force Powers Off.
Now, while Desktop Software is still open on your computer and the PlayBook Powered Off, Connect the PlayBook to your computer.
You should see and error screen from Desktop Software pop up that has the options to Retry, Update, or Cancel.
QUICKLY choose the Update option.
This will erase all the information off of your PlayBook and Re-Write the Software back onto it. Once it's complete your PlayBook will need to go back through the setup wizard, and you can then perform a restore using Desktop Software to return your information. The only thing that won't come back after the restore are the apps that you downloaded from App World but they can be easily Re-Installed using the My World feature in App World.
