Spaces and Display Mirroring

Can I use Spaces to set space 1 to mirror the desktop, and space 2 to not mirror the desktop? If so, how?

Sorry but no. Spaces only works with the Finder and application windows. You can't assign different desktop or system settings to different Spaces.

Vram failure and display mirroring question

Sorry if this has been asked before...
I have an older imac g5 ambient light sensor and have had a vram failure for the past 6 or 7 months. Recently the display has gotten to the point where it's impossible to read or see anything on it.
My question is, will mirroring show the same distorted video on an external display?
Thanks.

Can you explain this "vram failure" in more detail?
Have you tried using these two procedures?

Whether the external display shows the same issue or not depends on the cause. If the cause is at the graphics hardware, it will probably be the same on the external display. If the cause is LCD (or the connection between the LCD and graphics hardware), then the external display should work OK.

I want to connect my IMAC to TV with HDMI cable. I did it before going to Dispaly and Arrangments and then mirror. Now when I go to display I dont have to option of arrangements. Olny {Display and Color} pops up. Any ideas what happend to arrengements?

For the "Arangements" option to appear, the external display must be turned on with the correct input selected and connected to the computer. Then close system prefs, reopen, go to "Display" and "Arrangement" will be along the top.

Spaces and an external display

I've had a search around and i can't find a way of doing this, maybe someone else has worked it out....
I have a shiny new external display and i'd like to assign a particular space to it - is this possible? otherwise all i end up with is a duplicate of what i have on my MB Pro screen or I have to disable spaces.
any clues fellow mac fans?

This is what I found works for me. Some programs work fine for this method others don't. I first go in and set all the apps in spaces preferences to the corresponding space they belong to. This gets them to the basic location I want. I usually use two apps together on the two screens such as Bridge and photoshop. Open the application you want to use on the external monitor. It should open on the correct space assigned to it initially.
Now you choose the spaces icon on the dock. This brings up all your spaces with the corresponding external monitor space next to it. Drag the application from the internal space screen to the external space screen. Now choose the app you just moved. This will take you to the correct space and app window. Close the app. When you open the app again it should open with its window in the external monitor. The applications menu bar stays on the main monitor but the window is where you placed it.
As I said this works for most apps but not all. You will find out which ones don't quickly. Then just open them and once you get to the app window drag it over to your external display.
I usually start all my apps I will be working on and arrange them like I want fixing the ones that don't start on the correct display. Then it is easy to change spaces and have my work area ready to go.
One thing I discovered in Pages is if I close a file that is displayed on the external monitor the same file when opened again will show up on that monitor. Comes in handy if you work on multiple documents. You just save the file on the window you want it to appear in the next time you need it.

The problem is in the delimiters in your text file. By default, Read From Spreadsheet File.vi expects a tab delimited file. You can specify a delimiter (like a space), but Read From Spreadsheet File.vi has a problem with repeated delimiters: if you specify a single space as a delimiter and Read From Spreadsheet File.vi finds two spaces back-to-back, it stops reading that line. Your file (as I got it from your earlier post) is delimited by 4 spaces.
Here are some of your choices to fix your problem.
1. Change the source file to a tab delimited file. Your VI will then run as is.
2. Change the source file to be delimited by a single space (rather than 4), then wire a string constant containing one space to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi.
3. Wire a string constant containing 4 spaces to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi. Then your text file will run as is.
Depending on where your text file comes from (see more comments below), I'd vote for choice 1: a tab delimited text file. It's the most common text output of spreadsheet programs.
Comments for choices 1 and 2: Where does the text file come from? Is it automatically generated or manually generated? Will it be generated multiple times or just once? If it's manually generated or generated just once, you can use any text editor to change 4 spaces to a tab or to a single space. Note: if you want to change it to a tab delimited file, you can't enter a tab directly into a box in the search & replace dialog of many programs like notepad, but you can do a cut and paste. Before you start your search and replace (just in the text window of the editor), press tab. A tab character will be entered. Press Shift-LeftArrow (not Backspace) to highlight the tab character. Press Ctrl-X to cut the tab character. Start your search and replace (Ctrl-H in notepad in Windows 2000). Click into the Find What box. Enter four spaces. Click into the Replace With box. Press Ctrl-V to paste the tab character. And another thing: older versions of notepad don't have search and replace. Use any editor or word processor that does.

Centering and displaying 100% in browser won't work.

I believe I followed the instructions that were posted previously and I did some reading about centering a page and displaying the page at 100% but I can't seem to make them work correctly. I might have a conflict or something can you help.
I designed a website which was 1000px wide and now they want it changed (they want an image on both sides of the page)-so instead of changing it around completely and trying to mess with the areas and buffers and all of that fun stuff. I decided to leave the #container (which is were all the data for the site is and were as the template is applied to other pages the size will change -the height will change but the width should stay 100px.)that was there and then wrapp it up completly in another div tag which i labeled #master_container then I inserted 2 more div tags and placed the images on either side as is desired. I followed the instructions above (because now the site is soo big displaying in a browser is diffacult). I need the site to do 3 things.
-i need it to display centered on the page so that no matter what browser it is displayed in or what size screen it is viewed on it fits the center of the screen.
-I also would like it to fit the screen of the person using it so that they see the whole page as one and there isn't a huge blank space on one of the sides -right now it is on the right.
-if you know how to make the two images on the side of the screen scroll as the person scrolls down the page-(ie-so that they don't see part of the image sometimes and other parts of it when they move farther down-wouldl like it to scroll with them as they move down the page)

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!

Ok I have no idea what i am doing wrong this is the most frusterating thing I have ever done. I will never build another webpage again.
Here is the problem that I have i don't care how it gets solved but I just need it solved. this is over a week trying to solve one problem. I just don't have the time to do it anymore but I need it done.
1) this page (http://practiceuploadingsite.info/) needs to be centered. That's all just centered in the brosers that it opens in. (nothing I try seems to work)
2) every other page on that website after you click into the home page (http://practiceuploadingsite.info/Pages/home.html) is made by the application of a template. All I want to do is keep eveything the same as it is right now and just add 2 background images (one on the right and one on the left) so that this:
fits inside of the blank space of this:
preferably so the images scroll down the page because the center colum will change height but not widith depending on the page the template is applied to.
I even tried to remake the template as to include the images all at once with the div tages and the header seems to have nothing but problems and I couldn't get them to stay together correctly. they keep coming up uneven and the header that is contained on the page spans the entire container and will not just stay the way it is.
Just please tell me how to do this and you will never hear from me again.
I am uploading the site information so you have the files I am working from Idk if it is something wrong with the headers the div containers or what but almost just put my computer through the window so I don't care how to get it done just please spell it out so I can follow it correctly.
THANK YOU!!

How can I get the cursor's position in a opened file and display a menu?

Hello,
I want to make a program by which I will be able to display a panel/pops up menu at the corsor's current position, (In any text/doc file or in the desktop, we can display a menu by right click of the mouse.) Now I want my program to do the same task.
More clearly-
1. First I would save some words or sentences in a file(aa.txt).
2. Then I would open another text file/ a word/ excel/ or any other editor( bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html ).
3. While editing or writing something in the opened file, if I click the right mouse button/ press a key (ctrl+space), a menu will appear containing the sentences I saved in the file(aa.txt) previously.
My program will tell me the cursor's position in bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html that i opened. And display a menu. my problem is not reading / writing in a file.
My problem is how can I get the cursor's position in a opened file display a menu at that position by a mouse/key action*.
Would you please help me on this regard.
Thanks

When receiving email, Thunderbird freezes and displays "Not Responding" in screen header. Adds popstate folder to account.

I'm running Thunderbird 31.6.0 on Windows 8.1 with BitDefender 2013.
PROBLEM:
When getting email, Thunderbird freezes and displays "Not Responding" in screen header.
When TB is closed then reopened, a popstate folder (popstate-1.dat) is added to account. A new popstate folder appears with each crash/freeze, and as long as they are not deleted, they pile up with unique numbers (popstate-1.dat, popstate-2.dat, etc.).
(see attached screenshot)
NOTE: I've included troubleshooting details below for all the fixes I tried, thinking it might be helpful to anyone who has a similar problem and is thinking about going down those paths. Ultimately, it seems that FIX ATTEMPT 5 is the winner.
==================================
FIX ATTEMPT 1:
Following the suggestion in this archived mozilla support post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026288, I restarted Thunderbird in Safe Mode (Help > Restart with Add-Ons disabled...), checking the "Disable all add-ons" and "Reset toolbars and controls" and clicking "Make Changes and Restart" button.
In Add-Ons Manager, BitDefender Toolbar now appears to be disabled.
(see attached screenshot)
But the problem persists.
FIX ATTEMPT 2:
Following the suggestion in this archived mozilla support post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1016811, I clicked Help > Troubleshooting Information > Show Folder button. This opens a File Explorer window for 3I58b9dq.default (this is the "profile" folder) which contains panacea.dat and folderTree.json files.
I changed file names to panacea-changed.dat and folderTree-changed.json (rather than deleting them, in case I need to restore them), and I reopened Thunderbird.
This did not solve the problem -- and, furthermore, the profile folder seems to have automatically generated new panacea.dat and folderTree.json files to replace those for which I changed the filenames.
FIX ATTEMPT 3:
Following the suggestion in this mozilla support post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1044774, I restarted Windows 8.1 in safe mode with networking enabled (using these instructions: http://www.howtogeek.com/107511/how-to-boot-into-safe-mode-on-windows-8-the-easy-way/.)
TB does not crash when Windows runs in safe mode, but the aspect ratio of my display is distorted; everything's really big and stretched horizontally, and my two displays are mirrored rather than extended. Running Windows perpetually in safe mode is not the ideal fix.
QUESTION 1: I understand that troubleshooting is supposedly done best in safe mode — What might I do in safe mode to diagnose the Thunderbird problem?
FIX ATTEMPT 4:
This article https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Antivirus_Related_Performance_Issues#Symptoms, suggests that problems with Thunderbird associated with BitDefender can be solved by uninstalling and re-installing BitDefender.
Not really comfortable uninstalling and re-installing, I disabled Bitdefender (Settings button > Antivirus button > Shield tab > On-Access Scanning toggle Off) to see if that would work. It did not fix the problem.
QUESTION 2: Would uninstalling BitDefender be any different than disabling it?
FIX ATTEMPT 5:
Create a Bitdefender Exclusion for the Thunderbird folder:
Settings button > Antivirus button > Exclusions tab > Excluded files and folders link > Add button > navigate to Thunderbird folder (c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\thunderbird) > Both radio button > Add button > OK button
THIS FIX DID THE TRICK! YAY!

FIX ATTEMPT #5 above did the trick, and now I see that it was the chosen solution for a similar post of the same problem at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1044774

Im using a Macbook Pro, running a Mac OS 10.6.8, with 400GB free of space and it is running slow. It takes more than 15 minutes to start up and things like that. I cant seem to do anything as it is so slow. The 'beachball of death' is also present during start up. What should I do? Please help

Try these two steps first.
Get the Original Installation disk and boot the MBP holding down the C key. When you get to the point where you see a menu bar on the top of the display, select UTILITIES. From the drop down menu select DISK UTILITY>FIRST AID. Run verify and repair.
See if there is any improvement.

Select RTF Data and display in PDF Document

Hi all,
I have a simple table:
CONTENT_ID - NUMBER
CONTENT - VARCHAR2(4000)
On top of this table I have a form that allows the user to enter / update data. The 'CONTENT' field is a Rich Text Editor (ApEx 4.0 - CKEditor 3). This allows the user to enter and format their text as they require.
I need to be able to select this data and display it in a PDF Document (via BI Publisher).
I therefore have a simple query
select content from content_table where content_id = 1;and a simple template that processes the resulting xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ROWSET>
   <ROW>
      <CONTENT>& lt;h2& gt;
     This is a heading& lt;/h2& gt;
& lt;p& gt;
     This is the text& lt;/p& gt;
</CONTENT>
   </ROW>
</ROWSET>(There is not really a space between the & and 'lt' etc but I had to add this to get it to display correctly here).
Where I run this past my template I get a PDF with:

This is the text</p>I get the same if I generate HTML.
but what I want to see is the text formatted as the user has entered in the RTF editor.
Can this be done?
Many thanks,

I think your mixing 2 technologies.
At 1 side you have xml in combination with xsl (style sheets used in BI Publisher and FOP) to generate your pdf. And at the other side you have HTML...
XML and HTML are 2 entirely different technologies which you can not mix this simple. I investigated the same problem as you had, and in the end I ended up using jasperreports instead of FOP.
Maybe BI Publisher has some html regions which you could insert into your word document but I doubt it cause more people have asked the same question on this board...
So my advice: use jasperreports (also it is free for commercial usage)

Mac OS X 10.7.4 ARD Issues When Observing/Controlling Computers with Display Mirroring/Different Resolutions

As if Macs in an enterprise environment could be more difficult to manage, now since our upgrade to OS X 10.7.(4) I have lost the ability to remotely control numerous Macs in our organization. The issue occurs when attempting to control a Mac running OS X 10.7.(4) that has their Display mirrored and the resolution does not match on both displays. What happens is that I can see the remote screen however it does not fill the entire Observe/Control window. Instead, the remote screen takes up about 50% of the window, the rest is black but sometimes will display a mirror image of the remote screen in the black area. What?! Yeah, I've attached a screenshot because this is ridiculous. The real problem is that I cannot control the computer when it has reached this state, the mouse no longer functions properly, it is not clicking where I place the mouse, etc. I have made sure that I have all updates including ARD Client/Server updates. I even tried VNC but as I have come to find out that is a whole other issue (doesn't work, sends me to the login screen, etc).
So here's what I need:
- A patch that is going to fix this issue
- A script to run that is going to change the remote screen resolution (I still have the ability to run remote scripts, etc. simply not Observe/Control)
Ideas?

I found a way to work around this issue. Not a fix but a work around.
This is little application some one wrote to toggle mirroring on and off.
Mirror Displays
If you put this application in the client computer's /Aplications folder
you can use ARD or SSH to run the app and switch modes.
The problem only occurs for me when a client is set to mirror dissimilar displays with different aspect ratios.
I am only seeing this in Lion 10.7.4 and 10.7.5
Hope it helps someone....

IMac won't offer display mirroring option when connecting to HDTV with Thunderbolt to HDMI cable

I have an iMac, and am trying to connect to my HDTV to use as a second display (mirror). I am using a cable with a Thunderbolt connector at one end, and an HDMI on the other. I know the cable works because I have used it with my MacBook on other TVs. When I use this on my MacBook, I simply open displays, and between the tabs marked "Display" and "Color" there is always an "Arrangement" tab to select. When I try this same setup on my iMac, the only two tabs I can see are "Display" and "Color" - the option to mirror disdplay (or recognize the HDTV in any way) simply doesn't exist.
I would welcome any help. Thanks much, Doug.

OK, yes your Mid 2011 has a Thunderbolt port.

4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.
Then try connecting the TV to the iMac.

Reading and displaying 100mb file

hi everyone
i want to read a uploaded file that may be of 100mb
the problem is that i want to dispaly that file in a textarea which doesn't support characters more than 65000.

can anyone help me with the code
urgently required
thanks!!

The bible has 3,566,480 characters. This means, allowing for punctuation and white space and assuming 1 character per byte, you are trying to display about 25 Bibles.
The Bible can be read aloud in about 70 hours so it would take your users about 70 days continuous to read your file!
P.S I am being serious.

What model and year is your MacBook? Some older MacBooks don't support Audio out via miniport/HDMI (the display miniport is video only).
