Small Screen for monitor spanning

I have been using a second monitor for spanning at work for the last month and it has been a great experience. I am more productive. I am using a regular large monitor, but I would prefer to use a small LCD, even as small as the 12PB screen in order to conserve space on my small desk. Does anybody have experience or recomendations for what has been successful for them? Thanks!

The screen would either need component or HDMI connections for video.
You can get away with connecting one of the component leads to a composite input sometimes for a greyscale display only.
AppleTV does not support composite or S-video, if the screen only had these you might have to buy a converter.

DPS android app for small screens, works, but poorly...

There is a way to get the DPS android app compatable with 1400 devices, including mobile phones.
In theory if you here reading this its because you have an android app made by the DPS app builder live in the play store and...
A: found out that the android app is only available on large/xlarge screens
B: are getting yelled at by your employer who bought the Adobe DPS subscription and claims this should work on his phone "because I looked at the Adobe site and it says android, my phone is an android, read their site and make it work"
C: found this because you were smart enough to read through the forums before suggesting this as a publishing solution to your employer and want to know if it really works on android phones, in whcih case, you may want to make it easy on yourself and just say "no, it does not" and then waid for Adobe to officially support small/normal screens perhaps head over to this post and bring some attention to it so we can collectivly improve this already awesome tool: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1097433
however, before you attempt this please keep in mind the following:
1- it does not work well, if at all, on certain devices. specifically the small phone devices with the slower processors. So what typically happens is that you need to delete the data for the app and wait nearly 10 min for the "checking for updates" to process and grab new edditions. Depending on your serivce provider, this can be a nightmare. So, do NOT even attempt this if you have a cap on your data plan, think about how long it would take to download a 100mb folio file on a 3g connection, not to mention the processor which the tablets have and phones do not have.
Here is some more data:
--Android 1 from Sprint: really super slow, thats all I gotta say
--Android 2 from Verizon, again, slow, but works
--Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1, Verizon 4g connection, works great, (10% of the time) lol. about 90% of the time the Galaxy Nexus needs to be restarted after installing, and will get stuck on the "updating library" screen. the only way to fix this for any of the above phones seems to be to clear all data, uninstall, re install, do not launch, restart phone, and then launch app.
I am going to test the following soon:
     Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 (1.6GHz Quad-core)
     (1.5GHz Quad-core)
          LG Optimus G E973
          Xiaomi MI-2
          LG Optimus 4X HD P880
          HTC One X
(the idea being that perhaps we can go through the list from google in the play store and limit the devices its on, but at least with this solutuon as described below we can get rid of the "not availabe on your device" notice.)
So before you read on, consider that for your end users. If you find a way to fix this, let me know, I have considered turning off hardware acceleration but have not tested this yet.
2- if you choose to attempt this make sure you have a good understanding of command line AND you have a new version of the app ready if you want to roll back.
consider this concept: (you should have these ready)
app a- made by Adobe DPS app builder, works on only large and x-large android screens, lets say its version 100000 and 2.5.5.000. This is already in your google.play store account as a live app,
app b- the app you are about to build in this example below, it will in theory work on small, medium, large, and x-large android screens, lets say its version is 110000 and 2.9.9.000 (it will be MADE FROM APP A, you will open it, edit it, and wrap it back up.)
app c- made by Adobe DPS app builder, works on only large and x-large android screens, lets say its version 200000 and 3.5.5.000 (which would be good to have in case your version b above does not work the way you want)
notice the VERSION codes. These are important because you can only go UP, you can not "roll back" to a previous version.
Again, I do not suggest this, but if you are daring and have some development background, feel free to give it a shot.
(I am not going to be able to support this info, but I can verify 100% that I got mine working, very poorly and slow, but it installs, pulls folios, and loads)
PC WINDOWS ONLY, I have not tried this on a MAC.
get this:
http://www.7-zip.org/
install it
get this:
http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
read all about it.
go here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
get:
          apktool1.4.3.tar.bz2
and
          apktool-install-windows-r04-brut1.tar.bz2
put them all in 1 folder, extract both items, all the way
the grab the
          android-viewer.apk
that Adobe DPS made, or whatever yours is named...
and the
          release.keystore
you made and put them in the same "stuff" folder. there should be 20 items total in here now.
get this:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u30-download-1377139.html
          jdk-6u30-windows-x64.exe
do NOT use any other version, do NOT use version 7, use version 6.
install it all. then find it. should be here- (C://program files/Java/)
I recomend grabbing it all and putting it in your ROOT like this:
C://Java/jdk1.6.0_30/bin
then, put everything from the "stuff" folder into C://Java/jdk1.6.0_30/bin
yep, all of it.
now we are ready to get funky...
run cmd line.
open start menu, type
cmd
into the search bar, hit enter
-------- run command line, get to proper directory
cd ..
cd ..
cd Java/jdk1.6.0_30/bin
(or wherever your 'stuff' is)
--------open up
apktool d android-viewer.apk android-viewer
(this will make a folder called 'android-viewer' and you will be able to go into that folder and find the XML files in there)
--------edit XML
in file: /android-viewer/AndroidManifest.xml
open up in dreamweaver and change this stuff:
android:versionCode="_ENTER_NEW_NUMBER_" android:versionName="_ENTER_NEW_NUMBER_"
<supports-screens android:smallScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" />
in file: /android-viewer/assets/META-INF/AIR/application.xml
open up in dreamweaver and change this stuff:
          <versionNumber>_MATCH_ABOVE_</versionNumber>
          <versionLabel>_MATCH_ABOVE_</versionLabel>
<supports-screens android:smallScreens='true' android:normalScreens='true' android:largeScreens='true' android:xlargeScreens='true'/>
--------package it back up
apktool b android-viewer android-viewer-new.apk
(this will repackage the folder into a new APK, note the name -new.apk added to the end)
--------Sign
jarsigner -keystore release.keystore -signedjar android-viewer-signed.apk android-viewer-new.apk YOUR_ALIAS
(now you need to sign the -new apk and recreate it as signed)
--------Verify
jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs android-viewer-signed.apk
(if the last line does not say 'successfully verified' and there is an error, make sure you are using version 6 of JDK and not 7)
--------Update APK in play store
Visit this page
http://developer.android.com/distribute/googleplay/about/distribution.html#instant
read the line that says "Instant publishing, instant updates"
while you do, understand you are being lied to, it takes anywhere from 30 min to 4 hours for your update to be "instant".
take the new "android-viewer-signed.apk"
rename it, upload it, activate it, de activate the old one.
important: beofe you click save, switch over to the "product details" tab and update your version notes.
head over to your app page in the play store.
sit there and click refresh every 10 min or take a nap and come back in a few hours.
when you finally see the version number has updated, go to the browser on your phone
find your app in the browser, refresh the page, make sure its got the new version number on it.
install it on your small screen device, cross your fingers, and hope you do not get a message that says "not signed properly"
if you do, feel free to start googling the stuff above to see where you went wrong.
If it does work, go to your boss and have him download it and run it and say "see, there ya go, its on your phone now" and when he says it does not work hand him a minni screw driver and a 1.6GHz Quad-core from the Galaxy Note II and tell him to simply upgrade the procssor in his phone because its too slow. lol.
-good luck and enjoi

Hi,
This is very interesting. I'm not an expert but i could do almost all the steps, but i can not do the sign step. i dont know where my release.keystore is. i created a .key.p12 file, is it?
I'm trying to do this for a Galaxy SIII
Thank you

Any external monitors as good as imac screen for text?

hi all.
this is my first mac. it's a new 21.5inch imac with a 2.7ghz i5 proc running OS X 10.7.3 and 12 Gigs of RAM (8 Gigs from crucial for $50, who can resist?)
i've got it hooked up to an external samsung syncmaster B2330 running in 1920x1080, which is this monitor's native resolution. works fine. it's hooked up via the dvi port on the screen via the mini-displayport to dvi adapter for the mac. i switch this monitor to the vga port when i want to use it as my pc monitor also running at 1920x1080. there is a source button on the monitor. very convenient.
the issue is that they text on this screen when coming from the mac is not as clear was when coming from the pc despite the fact that the vga port provides much less bandwidth than the dvi port the mac uses. i've read that the mac and the pc display text on screen using different methods. my pc uses an nvidia display graphics card. i believe mac use ati based hardware.
there appears to be much more interpolation when displaying text from the mac. perhaps this is a text size issue i'm not sure. either way i read a lot on this monitor and need it to be as good as possible for that purpose.
so the question is, does anyone have experience with an external monitor that is as good as the imac screen for text display. i can't use the thuderbolt display or a cinema display since they don't switch to different ports allowing my to use a single external monitor for two machines. i'm willing to spend up if there is a reason to do so. i'm on these computers a lot. i work from home with some regularity and my job is all about reading.
any help is appreciated.
best, c

Can I run 2 monitor with one of the monitor having Full Screen for Elgato Eye TV?

My mac mini has Elgato 'Eye TV' software that runs in 'Full Screen'. I want to keep this setting & also connect another monitor to the macmini & use other Appilications on the other monitor? Can I run 2 monitor with one of the monitor having Full Screen for Elgato Eye TV?
My early 2009 macmini can run Mac OS 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 & 10.8

Yes, run one from HDMI and the other from Thunderbolt/minidisplayport sockets. In EyeTV Preferences check the screen you want for full screen use and make sure your Dock is on the other one.

Can a 27" iMac late 2012 be used as a target monitor (screen) for a Raspberry Pi ?

Can a 27" iMac late 2012 be used as a target monitor (screen) for a Raspberry Pi ?
If yes, please describe how it can be done?
Thanks

Nope, you are describling Target Display Mode. Please read Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and you will see the other device (in your case a Raspberry Pi) has to have a Thunderbolt port that supports TDM.

Monitor screen for T4i

Does any body have any recomendations for a LCD inch monitor screen for T4i, been looking at ikan, pretty spendy and Apurture and Lilliput and which is better 5 0r 7 inch?

Thomas,
That's a Mini-DVI (DVI, VGA, Composite and S-video with adapter) port for connection to an external monitor via an adapter such as this:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9321G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTA4NDU1MTM
You connect a standard DVI cable to the adapter and TV/Monitor. Other adapters are available for VGA etc.

Calendar has been non-functional for hours, with small screen saying "Moving calendars to server account..." Help?

Calendar on Mavericks MacPro has been non-functional for hours, with small screen saying "Moving calendars to server account..." How can I restore its function?

Sorry. I found some other advice that solved the problem ere I saw your response.
The advice was:
Go to Finder. Holding "Option" key, find Library in "Go" pull down menu. In Library. Select Calendars. To desktop, drag all files with the word "cache." Then go to Preferences (still in Library) and drag to desktop "com.apple.ical.plist". Restart. Now Calendar is working perfectly, and rechecking under Library, the caches files and the com.apple.ical.plist that were dragged to the desktop have reappeared in Calendars and Preferences.
All is well. Many thanks for your reply! Sorry that I did not get to check it out.

I am new to this forum. Just installed adobe iplayer for the numerous time. Then decided to have a software update immediately on my mac computer. Then a a small screen appeared afterwards stating the maleware virus was removed. What do I do now?

Just installed adobe iplayer for the umpteeth time.
Then decided to have a software update immediately on my mac.

What do I do now? Was not aware that I had a virus in the first place.

That latest update is a removal tool for the Flashback trojan.
One of the ways the earlier versions of that trojan were distributed was through fake Adobe Flash downloaders.
Why are you repeatedly installing Adobe Flash Player? (not iPlayer - that's a BBC thing.)
The only place from which to get the Flash Player plug-in is directly from Adobe themselves - Never Trust a Pop Up that says you have a missing plugin!
Also be aware that the Flash Player is not a standalone player; it's a plug-in which installs in the Library and is available for all the browsers to use.
As for what you do now?
Nothing for the moment - you should be clear.
But to be on the safe side, go to the Prefences for each of your browsers and disable Java (not JavaScript - that's a whole different animal). As Java is the vector used by the most recent versions, that should ensure you don't get reinfected.

Will i have to repurchase games i bought on my iphone for my ipad as they are in a smaller screen when i play them

Will i have to repurchase games i bought on my iphone for my ipad as they are in a smaller screen when i play them.
also isnt game center supposed to save my progress in a game as it is making me begin the games all over again.

Not necessarily.
Some games are "universal", meaning they are for the iPad and iPhone natively.
These are denoted by a "+" on the price/purchase button.
iPhone games will work on the iPad, the screen can be doubled in size.
The graphics aren't as nice looking and text tends to be fuzzy.
No, game center is about badges and finding opponents for games.
Your game progress is saved when you sync with iTunes.

Today, randomly my iPhone 5 stopped working. It has been on this black screen with the apple logo and some small white writing at the top of the screen for many hours. I've tried rebooting it and connecting to iTunes but nothing has worked.PLEASEHELP

It likely means there was still water inside it and something has now shorted out and permanently damaged one or more components. THE very worst thing you can do with wet electronics is energize them - even a small drop of water inside on any of the circuitry or electrical contacts can cause catastrophic damage.
Take it to Apple for a free evaluation, but most likely you will need to replace it. For the out of warranty fee ($269.00 USD) you will get a refurbished replacement (like new, with a factory new screen and battery). An out of warranty replacement will also re-instate your remaining warranty, or 90 days warranty, whichever is longer.

How can I order a replacement screen for my 2009 MacBook?

Also, will it be easy to change over? I haved owned this laptop for a little over four years, and the screen whites out unless held at a certain angle. The hardware operates smoothly so I only need to replace the screen. No Genius could fix it. Thanks!

Same here, the screen washed out, totally white, but the system's running fine. One gentle tap on the screen, everything's normal again. But things got worse and did not respond to the gentle tap any more, it required twisting the screen a bit and things flickered to normal. At this point sent it to Apple Service, they quoted Rs 26,000
(1 US$ = 60 Rupees) for replacing the screen. The system is already 4 years old, track pad click does not work, disk drive is not without problems and to make things worse the battery requires a replacement and the system is out of all kinds of warranties.
This made me reluctant to consider salvaging the screen, having researched on the situation, I came out twith the following options :
Replace the LCD screen at the cost quoted and hope nothing else packs up for the next 2 years at least.
Connect to external monitor, keyboard and mouse and use it as a desktop with the clam shell closed.
Download this app 'Air Display' for iOS and OS X, mirror the screen wirelessly to an iPad placed in front of the regular screen (with brightness down to zero) and use it like a normal display but smaller than 13 inch. (there are many more advantages of this app too, for example, it works as a touch screen for OSX...ever heard of it ?)
last but not the least, do nothing about this, and things seem to work fine all of a sudden since the last 10 hours, i'm currently typing this text the regular way I did since Aug 2009 !!
But realised one more thing, that the system is getting hotter in the charging end, more than ever before, does it contribute to the worsening of screen / white out / frozen screen but not a brain dead computer)
Will let you know if things hold on this way for long.

How to make PowerBook remember screen layouts from small screen to Cinema

I'm using a 23" Cinema Display with my G4 Powerbook. But I often disconnect the display if I need to take the Powerbook with me around the office.
When I do this, I have to reposition all my windows - finder and apps - where I want them on the small screen. Then, when I reconnect to the Cinema Display, I have to reposition them all over again.
Some apps seem to do this fairly well themselves - like Photoshop and InDesign - but others don't.
Is there some way for me to get the Mac to remember the positions of all the windows in each configuration, so I can just switch between them... a bit like the "Location" (under the Apple menu) does for my network settings?
Thanks for any advice.

I don't think that you'll be able to use the HDMI port - I don't think!
Rather, what you would need is a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to VGA (if that's what the monitor has) adapter -> http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802&p_id=5107&se q=1&format=2.
Good luck,
Clinton
P.S. Does your monitor have any other input ports? DVI would be best.

My web pages appear out of alignment on small screens.

Hi,
My web pages are correct on my large monitor but, the right side of the pages go out of alignment on smaller screens such as my laptop or even if I reduce the window size of my monitor. I used a 2 col, hdr, ftr, liquid layout in html 5. I did a browser check and fixed the suggested errors but it didn't fix the alignment thing. The site is http://www.thelandingivylea.com

You have the wrong design for a liquid layout. Since you certainly want to retain your design, give the DIVs fixed widths.

How can I use iMac mid 2007 24" 2.8GHz as screen for Xbox

I am about to buy a new Xbox with Kinect. I would really like if there was some way I could use my iMac as a screen with it. There is not a lot of space in front of our TV, so playing (and jumping etc) in front of the mac will be ideal. I have searched around and havent really got an answer. I guess the Belkin AV360 only works with the 2010 27" iMac and the mid 2007 iMac does not have any dvi in ports. I am not sure if the EyeTV Hybrid in game mode would do the job? Has anybody used it to connect xbox/ps2 etc?
I have thought of getting another LCD for it, but there just isnt enough space in our small apartment for another tv.
Any suggesstions would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Short answer, you cannot.
