PC Screen and TV Screen using Mini DP and Mini DVI

Good evening everyone,
I bought my MacMini in April of 2009 and connected my 19" PC Screen using the Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter, everything works great. Last month, I bought a new Samsung TV and connected it to the MacMini, using a VGA Splitter. However, the quality on both screens suffers, so I wondered whether it would make a difference if I use the Mini-DVI port for the PC Screen and the Mini-DisplayPort for my TV.
So, does it make any difference concerning the quality?
Thanks
Steven

I have my Mini hooked up to to screens.
1. 23" Apple HD Cinema Display
2. 40" Sony Bravia
The Apple display is hooked up using the mini DVI to DVI adapter.
The Sony is hooked up using the mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
Both displays have a great picture with no quality loss that I can see.
I would suggest using the mini DVI and the mini DisplayPort for what you want.
You can get adapters for both ports that will go to the VGA if thats what you want or need.

    Screen stuck on gray, used shift key and my screen appears with MacBook Pro and not the recovery option. Please help!

    Hi ..
    Shift key boots into Safe Mode, not Recovery.
    This only works on a Mac running v10.7 Lion or later.
    Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and restore OS X using OS X Recovery
    If you can't boot into Recovery Mode, help here >   Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

  • How to create process chains,and how to use process like and or xor

    Hi,
    How to create process chains,and how to use process like and or xor.
    can any one please give me a example in each.
    Thanks,
    cheta.

    Hi Cheta,
    Here is step by step procedure to create process chains
    Process chain is nothing but executing a process ..(or) loading the data any process we can do in background.. that means.. automatically we can execute our process based on Time or any event..
    Creating Process Chains
    Prerequisites
    If you want to include a load process in the process chain, you need to have already created an InfoPackage.
    You cannot load flat file data from a client workstation in the background. For this reason, you have stored your data on an application server.
    Creating Process Chains
    You have the option of creating a process chain in the process chain maintenance screen directly or by using a maintenance dialog for a process:
    Creating a Process Chain Directly in the Process Chain Maintenance Screen
    You are in the BW Administrator Workbench.
    1. Click on the Process Chain Maintenance icon in the AWB toolbar.
    The Process Chain Selection dialog window appears.
    2. Choose Create.
    3. Enter the technical name and a description of the chain, and confirm your entry.
    The Add Start Process dialog window appears.
    4. Create a variant for a start process.
    1. a. On the Maintain Start Process screen, choose whether you want to schedule the chain directly or whether you want to start it using a metachain.
    2. b. If you choose to schedule the chain directly, enter the start date value for the chain under Change Selections and save your entries.
    The Maintain Start Process screen appears again.
    3. c. Save your entries, return to the previous screen and confirm your entries in the Add Start Process dialog window.
    You are taken to the Plan View of the process chain maintenance screen.
    In the left-hand area of the screen, a navigation area is displayed. In the right-hand area of the screen, the process chain is displayed.
    5. Use the drag-and-drop function to add the relevant processes into your process chain.
    You use the Process Types function to select the processes. This sorts the process types according to different categories. You can also call up InfoPackages and processes for the data target from the separate InfoSources and Data Targets navigation trees.
    Hope this helps
    Regards
    Karthik

  • I had Premier pro given me by the college I attend and do no use wi fi and do not use cloud. My laptop completely died and will be sent back to Apple for exchange. How can I reinstall Premier Pro on a new Apple computer since the old one is completly dead

    I had Premier pro given me by the college I attend and do no use wi fi and do not use cloud. My laptop completely died and will be sent back to Apple for exchange. How can I reinstall Premier Pro on a new Apple computer since the old one is completly dead and could not be unregistered?

    Hi,
    You have not specified which version of Premiere Pro was given to you. If you don't have the disc (which i suppose you don't have) you will have to download it online.
    As far as your registration is concerned, for Premiere Pro CS6 or earlier you will have to reach Adobe chat support for further help: http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html
    For Premiere Pro CC and later, you will not have much problems reactivating it.
    Thanks,
    Rameez

  • I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    That is because you don't have a web server configured and running to serve the html page. In order to see the page in a browser you need to access it using a url similar to http://localhost/~yourUserName if you are serving the page from your user account.
    Prior to Mountain Lion you could go into web sharing and turn on the web server. With Mountain Lion there is no option, other than using terminal, to turn on the web server. The web sharing menu item has been removed in Mountain Lion. Apache is still on your computer but it will take a little searching these forums or the Internet to find how to turn it on.
    If you want a graphic user interface to turn on/off the Apache server you could download and install a server application like xampp, http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html. I use this and it works well.

    If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, or you don't have a backup, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

  • Create and send EDM using Adobe MUSE and Business Catalyst.

    There is just one thing missing in my armour as a graphic designer – creating and sending EDMs.
    Given the success of creating websites using Adobe Muse, an EDM functionality would be a fantastic addition to MUSE and Business Catalyst (BC). Imagine this:
    1. I open Adobe Muse.
    2. I select "New EDM"  (instead of "New Site").
    3. I design and build my EDM to spec.
    4. I test my EDM using 'Preview' or a single send to myself.
    5. I publish my EDM to Business Catalyst.
    6. In BC, I review my EDM and add 'FROM NAME', 'FROM EMAIL ADDRESS' and 'SUBJECT'.
    7. I import my database.
    8. I hit SEND!
    After my EDM has gone out, I can review a report in BC - just like any report for a website.
    As a designer that does not know code but can build a website using MUSE - creating an EDM is the one thing I can't personally offer. Using a digital supplier can be expensive and website like Mail Chimp aren't professional enough.
    To the Adobe Muse team, please – for the love of humanity – consider this as viable addition to MUSE. You will save a lot of heart ache and win a lot of hearts.
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Done!

    Select the country in which the iPhone was originally sold:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937
    You'll find a link to the carrier on whose pages you can probably find contact information.
    As RG said, only the carrier to which the iPhone is locked can authorize unlocking. That is the only "way out". To have an iPhone that was "factory unlocked", you would have had to purchase it that way.
    Regards.

  • I am writing an interactive book and want to use media files and stuff.

    I am writing an interactive book and want to use media files and stuff. My question is: If I want to sell this book in the iBookstore,
    may I use photos I find on google images and media i find on youtube? Or must all be my own stuff?

    No !  well not just any photo image or "media". The person who created the photo images has a copyright protection IF  he/she wishes to impose it - ditto video and other  media.
    However if its out of copyright by  virtue of age and certain other factors - its considered in "The Public Domain" which is why you see paintings by the Impressionists all over chocolate boxes and posters to name but two!
    There are websites offering images donated by the creators and all for free.
    Taking and using a picture you do not own copyright and placing online where it can be downloaded is  first "publishing" and you  need permission and placing in a situation where it can be copied and re-distributed is a breach of copyright.
    Look at the  tail end credits on any DVD...  the above is always  included.
    Others rmay  correct me but Copyright in some countries is vaild from creation until 50 years after the death of the creator. However, that is not always the case.  Example, assume I am bequeathed a photo archive and on the  last day year 50,  I  publish a completely new version of the archive, wizzed through Photoshop, cleaned, cropped and modified in other ways.. then I can assert my claim for copyright of the renewed archive, but its a bit more complicated!!!
    You can search for "Free Photo Images (  media) , or royalty free images and if you land on a particular website you can ask permission. If you send me a request, my reply will be NO... and you get a warning of dire consequences if your infringe my copyright!  Other may be more lenient and in fact feel pretty good to be  asked.
    A way to get some guidance is to check out Wikipedia and the many  images included in its subject matter, check out the copyright status.
    Beware of using  photo images of paintings in  Galleries and Museums, they may have copyright conditions.. but one can always contact them to seek  permission.
    Search  for  Copyright and ownership and it should bring up some good information. Depending on your country.. it may have its own  Copyright website. USA are more detailed than most, The UK has the 1988 Copyright Act.
    Also remember that all photo images carry exif embedded data which  among other things carries the copyright information and shows up in a google search for the right  keyword!  Scanned images processed through Photoshop and other editors  can have the metatdata added also.

    I can't restart the iphone to reset or restore. I held the homebutton down and the homebutton + sleepbutton down at the same time. The apple doesn't even appear.
    I've also tried connecting it to the charger. It's not charging and dosn't recongize it.
    I tried connecting the phone to itunes on the computer to see if it registered and charged it but that didn't work either.

  • HT201269 just got a the new iphone 5s, trying to get it set up.. it is stuck on the screen of Terms and conditions   in use of icloud and cant go any further??

    I have also put my new sim in my new phone and I have no service and my old phone is still working??

    Hello ollyped2002,
    Congratulations on your new iPhone 5s!  Try the steps below if you cannot accept the Terms & Conditions.
    First, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    If you can access your home screen, I also recommend verifying that cookies are not blocked and private browsing is turned off in Settings>Safari:

  • Ipad will not turn on the screen is just black, using the hone and power buttom together does not fix it

    my ipad screen is blue, using the home and power buttons together do not fix it.

    If you can't reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing, connect it to your charger for at least 15 minutes then try resetting it again  If it won't reset make an appointment with the Genius bar at a nearby Apple store to have it looked at.

  • I cant access icloud, my email address has changed recently and I cant use any emails and passwords or set up a new id, cant get hold of apple support for help, very frustrated!

    I can not access icloud, my email address changed a while ago none of my email addresses and passwords work, I have tried to get a new password but that dosent work!, tried to contact apple support, no luck there either! What can I do?

    If you are trying to change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
