Recommendations for switching between two machines and one monitor

Hi,
I have a MacMini and a MacBook Air, both with Thunderbolt Display ports but I have one monitor. I'd like to switch between the two without having to unplug and plug the monitor back in every time. Any recommendations for some sort of switch or Thunderbolt hub would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Chris

This should work if the display use display port/mini displayport inputs. A mini display port connectors plugs into the Mac's Thunderbolt port for video

Auto switch between two networks in one location

I have two wireless basestations in my home. They run on 802.11g, but have different network names and passwords. If I have the names and passwords stored in Keychain, is there anyway to have the computer automatically switch between the networks with the best signal?
Also, is there a utility that can automatically switch between connection methods based on which one has the fastest speed (i.e. an ethernet and wifi card, maybe one is faster than the other sometimes)?

I never realized that. Why is that?
A base station acting as a relay or remote must handle the traffic wirelessly 2 times.
The relay (or remote) base station must listen for the data from the main base station.
The relay (or remote) base station must then transmit the data to the client.
This means that wireless network can only handle half the data.
Every time you add a WDS relay or remote the available bandwidth gets cut again.
Do you think you're approach is always better?
Connecting them via Ethernet will result in the full wireless bandwidth being available.

Each device needs a separate address. Use an email address (gmail.com) on the iPad.

Getting around commiting at task to hardware in DAQmx and maintaining HW timing when switching between two AI tasks.

I have a project that requires two HW timed AI task that are triggered at different rising edges. I originally started with an example vi that has HW timed retriggerable AI that seemed to working fine until I decided to capture two channel with a seperate task. I received error messages due to the orginal task being committed to the hardware that prevented the second task for being configured due to reserved resources.
I was able to changed the commit to verify and switched from a analog edge trigger to a digital edge so I could use another PFI for triggering the second acquisition and the program seems to work fine at the momment.
Questions that I have are:
What exactly do verify, reseve and commit refer to in regards to task setup and impact on task switching delay. What information is actually transfered when configuring the task and what are the typical delay times for switching between tasks for the task controls listed above on a PCI6071e card. I am concerned that HW timing may have been sacrificed in order to work around the reserved resources and that if someone bumps the mouse the timing sequence will miss a trigger due to an IRQ.
Any information on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Kindest Regards,
Bill

Lon,
Thanks for the reply. I have another related question in regards to configuring the read property node for a digitally triggered start-stop routine with 2 presamples and collecting 5 samples per channel on 14 channels. Triggering occurs at 500 Hz and the total sampling time for all channels is restricted to 500 us max. I am current dealing with a single AI task and having difficulty capturing all the data in an output file. I have tried using a large array to store the data until the test is complete then write the array to a file to see if the file I/O was the problem. It did not work.
I have looked the the vi and information with respect to "How do I use digital triggering to start and stop AI". The description included with the vi indicates that the read property "Relative to" must be set to current read position and the buffer definition modified to something hugh in order to keep the ahead of the write. I have tried this and cannot seem to capture the correct number of bytes in the output file. I have tried different "Relative to" settings and offsets with no luck.
A quick summary of the test is 1000 cycles with 5 samples per channel on 14 channel captured twice during each cycle. Data read as I16 (2bytes). Neglecting the 300-500 bytes in the test comment header, the file should be in the 112k range (1000*5*14*2*2). When I do happen to collect some data the file size is either way too small or much larger than expected.
All this information to ask the simple question; How do I configure the read properties to make certain that I collect all the data and store it in a file.
I apologize for running on about this problem, but I am getting really frustrated with this.
Kindest Regards,
Bill

HT1918 hi I'm travelling between two countries and i have a credit card and address in both, can i set up my itunes account to switch between the respectice i tunes stores

hi I'm travelling between two countries and i have a credit card and address in both, can i set up my itunes account to switch between the respectice i tunes stores

Not a single account, no, at least not easily. It would be better to set up individual iTunes Store accounts, one in each country. Your computer and devices can quite happily deal with two accounts, and then you can just log into the appropriate account when you're in the applicable country. You'll need a second email address to able to create a new Apple ID.

Back and forth between two machines

I need to move PSE9 back and forth on a regular basis between two machines in two seperate locations. This is not a licensing question. I own 2 copies of the product.
I point everything to the external drive I use (in terms of edits and saving) and just wanted to be sure I would have no problem on second computer seeing it all open and looking the same. I just want my data to stay mobile. It looks pretty cut and dried but I want to know about any "gothchas" before I get to second computer.
Thanks

So I can't have the catalog on the External drive as well and always
reference everything from that location? I thought that is what I had done.
Then, the only "discipline" would be plugging in the External Drive each
place right?
I am open to suggestions on this. I just want groupings in organizer and
that sort of stuff to travel. Maybe an edit area on the USB that I simply
import and export back and forth as needed?
I guess I'm just interested in best work flow for this scenario.
Thanks

If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for. What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one?

I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one? If it could be fixed, how much would it cost?

If it is still under warranty you can call the 800 number to apple and enter the serial number and it will tell you if it is under warranty or not if not its like $30 basically for them to help or something like that it said today when i called...
Or take it to a genius bar if you have one near?
Or further explain what setting you are needing fixed back and im sure someone here can help you for free!

Why can't I translate between Swedish and Polish in the same Word document. This means I want to switch between two keyboards.

Why can't I get a Polish keyboard easily accessible from within my Word program? I have to choose it in Finder and then I can't switch back and forth between English/Swedish and Polish in the same Word document. Surely there must be a simple way of doing this by means of keyboard commands while I write, or do I have to go back to my old PC for that?
Ulf Magnusson

(1) You are talking about switching keyboard layouts, not about translating from Swedish to Polish or viceversa.
(2) The keyboard layout choice is not a function of the application (MS Word) in either Mac OS X or Windows; it is a system choice.
(3) Read
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mchlp2214.html>
specifically "Input source list" and "Input source shortcuts".
In short, you choose the three keylayouts you wish to use for English, Polish, and Swedish, respectively, and then you set the shortcuts you prefer to use to switch between them.
And it's all there, in the Help files, on your very own computer…

How do I quickly* switch between two Skype account...

I have a need to be able to quickly* switch between two Skype accounts on my Windows 7 desktop computer.
Both accounts have high-security difficult-to-remember and hard-to-type passwords.
Many products have a facility for doing this, remembering recent account/password combinations, or having linked accounts.
Does Skype have a way of doing this?
And if it doesn't, how do I request it get one be developed?
I use a password manager, LastPass, but of course Skype isn't a browser so it doesn't work with Lastpass.
* "Quickly switch" means without switching computer sign-on accounts and without re-typing the high-security difficult-to-remember and hard-to-type passwords many times per day.
I understand you're all volunteers. Thank you very much for your efforts on this.
- Keith
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This can be done by setting up an another Skype client in a separate directory and with a shortcut containing the extra /datapath, /removable and /secondary switches.
http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Why-did-Microsoft-have-to-go-and-ruin-Skype-lik...
For your purpose you can make use of a copy of Skype.exe of the already installed Skype application.

How to switch between two query in Web templete.

Hi all,
Here i am facing problem to switch between two query in web template by using one 'table' web item. is there any way to use hyperlink 'SAP_BW_URL' and we can switch to query. here i am using these HTML code..
<table><tr><td class="SAPBEXBtnStdBorder" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td>
<table><tr><td class="sapbexbtnstd" ><A href="<SAP_BW_URL cmd='reset_item' item='table_data' query_ID='ZSD_ZSD_M01_Q20' apply_cmd_on_target= "X">" >Switch to other query</A></td></tr></table>
but i am not getting correct functionality.
please help me to solve this problem.
I know the best way to say thanks in SDN.
thanks
Kiran Patel

Kiran,
Use the web api reset_data_provider as links or in select option in HTML.
   Onchange event of this select option should call JAVASCRIPT method and
   this in turn resets the current dataprovider to your concerned one.
   How to change graphs:
   The graph item has the default data provider:
   <object>
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
         <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
         <param name="NAME" value="CHART_1"/>
         <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_CHART"/>
         <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
         <param name="TMP_CHART_DATA_HANDLE" value="IIP_49MOXB0UVNOMM6JOZMZU7QO21"/>
         ITEM:            CHART_1
   </object>
So if you change the DATAPROVIDER_1 using RESET_DATA_PROVIDER to your concerned DP, this changes chart as well !!
   Please use this method and refer to sample code for Onchange Event on SELECT OPTION:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script>
function callDP() {
     if(document.forms[0].dp.value == "1") {
        //form your URL here..
       url = SAP_BW_URL_Get() + "&CMD=RESET_DATA_PROVIDER&DATA_PROVIDER_1=..&...";
        SAPBWOpenURL(url);
        //or docuemtn.location.href = url..
        //etc..
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form>
<select name="dp" onChange="javascript:callDP();">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
</select>
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
HOPE THIS HELPS !!!

Iphone switching between pod cast and Ipod shuffle

Hello, I have an IPhone 3 G and while I am running at my gym it keeps switching between my IPod and my podcast player. I have checked my internet connections and it is fine. I know I am not hitting the shuffle buttoon because I turn the sceen saver off, after I have selected the Pod Cast music that I like. Is it the head phones or the IPhone?

One thing that might help out.
The button on the headphones does not have the ability to shuffle media files.
One click to pause or play. two clicks to advance to the next track.
Here is a link to the iphone user guide that might help out.
Check out page 63 for shuffle and repeat features.

Hope this helps.

Using Lightroom Cloud to Sync Catalog Between Two Machines

I have use of so many cloud services including the 20gb that Adobe gives me. Is there a way i can sync my catalog on the cloud so that i can have all my metadata on both my laptop and desk top? I also have 300gb of cloud storage though Copy. I would just like some recomendations on how best to go about it. Thanks

Hi Pat,
Using Lightroom Cloud to Sync Catalog Between Two Machines
If you’re running Lightroom on a laptop during your location shoots, you might want to take all the edits, keywords, metadata, and of course the photos themselves, and add them to the Lightroom catalog on your studio computer. It’s easier than it sounds: basically, you choose which catalog to export from your laptop, then you take the folder it creates over to your studio computer and import it.
You need to decide whether you want to export a folder (all the imported photos from your shoot), or a collection (just your Picks from the shoot). In this case, we’ll go with a collection, so go to the Collections panel and click on the collection you want to merge with your main catalog back in your studio. (If you had chosen a folder, the only difference would be you’d go to the Folders panel and click on the folder from that shoot instead. Either way, all the metadata you added, and any edits you made in Lightroom, will still be transferred over to the other machine.)
Please refer to http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1930499 for more details.
Thanks!

Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?
I changed the about:config to make the rotate gesture move between tabs, and it worked great for well over a year. Now it behaves erratically as described here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598
It used to be very controllable to move one tab over, now it is erratic and moves quickly and to unexpected tabs regardless of how slow I do the rotate gesture. This is the main reason I use Firefox over Chrome and I would like to continue to do so unless there is no fix to this.

Just set the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.

White box appears while switching between two desktops

Hello all,
Since few weeks I have a problem when I switch between two Desktops. Everytime I switch between them a white box appears in the left corner of my screen (see screenshot).

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
