Possible to use the MBP display for use with XBOX 360 through DVI port?
Hi everyone, I know that the topic sounds ludicrous to probably a lot of you. After all, how dare a Mac user use a Microsoft machine right ;)? Well, truth be told, I like the 360 and that's the only MS product I prefer to use.
Anyway, I'm going to be picking up my own 360 within the next few days and am currently deciding whether to also buy a new HDTV with the purchase or if I can wait. I'm going to be buying a new TV eventually but I was hoping to put off the purchase for a while since I remembered that the 360 can hook up to monitors through VGA. So what I want to know is whether the DVI port on my MBP is output only or will it accept input signals? Also, if it is possible to hook up my 360 through the DVI port, is there an easy way to attach the DVI-VGA adapter to the 360 seeing? By this I mean, the adapter is only about three inches or so and it would be pretty difficult to attach both machines to each other, so I was wondering if there might be a female-female VGA adapter bridge or some easy method of doing this.
Thank you all for your help in advance.
Outsider,
Check out this link and enjoy the 360 on your MBP!

How to use the second display for installation OS in my vertical lines iMac
My 17" iMac display is full of vertical lines, it is unuseable. Does anyone know how to use the second display for Mac OS X or disable the first display for installation Mac OS x ?
Go to: *System Preferences > Displays* and select the Arrangement tab, then relocate your Menu bar by dragging it to the other display.
Unfortunately there is no Hardware or Software switch to turn off the iMac's Internal Display. -
Nyone using the MBP 13 for music recording?
Hi all!
Anyone using the MBP 13 for music recording?
I have the late 2008 MBP but is considering the new MBP 13.
I wonder if the MBP 13 can handle Logic pretty well or using it live for VSTs.
Thanks!!Glenn,
I just bought the 2.4 so i shall answer your question from the perspective of a macbook 2.0(1stgen) owner.
I spend almost six months a year gigging in europe.
My "Books" are my life line to creativity.
My 2.0 had 2gig ram&7200 rpm 100gig HD.
In logic pro the last song recorded had 32 audio tracks, 8 virtual synths, effects on each channel and also effects on the stereo outputs. ALL were recorded on the internal drive. I also carry a 7200 rpm 100 gig SATA 2.5 drive and ext fw800 case. This i bought from owc. I do suggest you replace the 5400 ext&case. The firewire 800 was the #1 reason i bought this new machine. Hope this answers your question, jeff www.jeffreyabbott.com -

How can i use labview for communicating with pic18 microcontroller through usb port?
Hi all,
I want to make a DAQ card using pic 18 microcontroller which has a built-in usb protocol. I have the firmware of this
controller which will make it as a usb device. How can i receive the analog voltages from this DAQ card in Labview? or i mean to say that how i can communicate labview with the Pic 18 microcontroller through usb port? I have also the
mpusbapi.dll file which is for Visual C++. Can i make changes in this dll file to make it compatible with labview?Which labview version do you have. Up to labview 7.1 it was no USB raw communication options. I have heard it did not work well in 7.1, but from 8.x most of the errors were fixed.
Here is a link it should be useful http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=340676&query.id=365864#M340676
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

I want to use the Thunderbolt connection for an external hard drive
I want to use the Thunderbolt connection for an external hard drive - so what port would I use on the MacBook Pro 13" for the display monitor. Thank you!
This is not the forum for MacBook Pro owners.
You just need to reformat the drive in Disk Utility and erase the drive and have Mac HFS.
If you did need to use NTFS then you would not want -3G but Paragon NTFS for OS X x. 10.0
Or buy something that isn't pre-formatted to Windows NT file system.
First though make sure you have backups of your system. TimeMachine being used now?

Maybe cleanout some files you don't need.
Install a larger notebook hard drive even.
http://www.macsales.com/firewire has a lot of choice in Mac compatible drives and enclosures so you don't need to worry about Fantom not working at some point.

Problem in using the enhancement SAPLV01Z for batch no assignment
Hi,
i am using the enhancement SAPLV01Z for using the user defined batch number.
In which i am allowing the system to generate the internal batch number if it is newly created batch for that particular material,site and MRP combination.For this i am using the function module EXIT_SAPLV01Z_001 and if the batch is already available in ztable suppress the internal batch number generation.
And by using the function module exit EXIT_SAPLV01Z_002 i am copying the already available batch and passing to the variable new_charge in that function module.
every thing is OK. But the prob is system checking the availability of the batch for combination of materila and site in batch master table MCHA and throwing an error saying that no batch is found,enter batch.
Now i want to skip the checking of MCHA table if it is already there in my ztable.For that i am implemented the OSS Note 1035372 but it is not working.
And one variable call_vb_create i need to pass X for that i need access key.
Can any body have solution with out using the access key..
Thanks and regards
anilSorry I hadn't seen this question.
I got the same issue today and used EXIT_SAPMM07M_010. It works fine.

I have been trying to figure this one out for a couple of days. I found the CUDA mac drivers on NVIDIA's website and installed them. I have been working in Blender. After the driver install I can now switch between CPU and GPU processing, Great. It works, but I am not experiencing decreased render times like I had read about or expected. It's about the same. While using the GPU for rendering, my OS is choppy, leading me to wonder if there is a way to use the NVIDIA just for computing power?
Any help would be grand.
ThanksNo.

I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.
If it won't turn on then the monitor is dead (power supply?, video circuits?). Not worth repairing.
If you have a new iMac then it has thunderbolt. So exactly what is that monitor you are trying to connect? For TB you can connect a mini-displayport monitor. Probably (not 100% sure with TB) can use dvi or vga too if you have the appropriate adapter. -
The condition record for use B can not be displayed
Hi gururs,
What does this message (number : VE896 ) mean ?
How to make it desapear ?
P.S : it's about output type for purchase orders.
This message is displayed when I click on : "Goto -> Determi analysis" in tcode ME22N.
Regards,
Bahia.Hi
It means you are trying to veiw the executed condition record. System found the condition record for entered transactional data which you cannot see by clicking on it (when you see green record in condition analysis).
For given condition type -> and access sequence/ access - system shows the condition record that is determined. You can see its details by clicking the access which shows the message that condition record has been found with its determined parameters.
Ex: For batch determination I have set up one search strategy with a condition type (with access sequence). I created one condition record. When creating say sales order -batch determination takes place based on condition record parameters. System shows a green light for determined condition record. You cannot see its details - if you try to see then system issues a message like ''The condition record for use B can not be displayed''. If you want to see click on its immediate predecessor (access ).
Thanks
