Switching between the MBP and ACD

Hi guys!
I have just recently got both these products from Apple, and it has been confusing adapting to the Apple world. Nevertheless, it is all worth it for the long run
I figured out how to use the ACD without having the MBP display on. But, am not able to figure out how the reverse would happen. That is, once the MBP screen is dead and the lid is open or closed - and the ACD display is the only one and main display, how do I get back to the MBP display - without having to go into the system preferences and select Display monitors option - or any other manual work.
Of course the other could also be to just unplug the ACD plug from the MBP - but this is insane to keep doing it, if I prefer switching very often.
Any helpful suggestions would be really welcome.
If there was a power button on the ACD - wouldn't that have been great? I don't understand the point of having a monitor completely controlled through the laptop itself without any physical buttons.
What if I want to keep some processing going on for the night, but want to switch the display of the ACD? That would not be possible as well, right?
I am starting to see limitations in the system, unless I am bling and cannot see the logic behind such a design!
Help!
Regards,
Raj!

Hi Raji, I don't think there is a way to do it without going into System Preferences. Usually, I'll have my MBP hooked up to the cinema display and when I need to use the macbook screen only, I'll open the the lid and then unplug the display. When it's time to use the display again, I'll close my macbook lid and it'll go into sleep mode. Then I'll plug the display back into the macbook and wake the computer with the bluetooth keyboard.
I guess it could kind of be annoying doing it this way if you do it often but it's not too bad I think

I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

While not in edit mode:
- if start typing numbers, then it enters number mode.
- if start typing text, then it enters text mode.
Using the arrow keys exits edit mode. So this should work for you:
1 Type text into a cell, which enters text mode.
2 Press Return to move to the next cell.
3 Press right arrow key to exit edit mode.
4 Press left arrow key to get back to the cell.
5 Type a number, which enters number mode.
Another method that requires more planning ahead of time is to format the cells as text or number before starting the data entry. Then when you navigate to a cell while in edit mode, you will be in the appropriate mode (without having to exit edit mode).
This all works fine for me. Hopefullly it does for you also.

Using a KVM switch between the Mini and a PC

I've just bought a Mini to try out the whole Mac experience.
I'm having trouble getting a KVM switch to work with the Mac.
I have a Tripp Lite B034-002-R KVM switch to share between the Mini and my WinXP PC. The switch changes over to the other computer when you press NUM LOCK twice within 2 seconds. This is working in the PC (i.e. switching from the PC to the Mac is fine) but is not working in the Mac (i.e. the switch doesn't change from the Mac to the PC).
I have a MS "Natural Keyboard Pro" USB keyboard.
Is the NUM LOCK key somehow disabled or something on the Mac? I'm hoping there's some knob I can turn to get this working.
Thanks for your help,
Tom

I bought an IOGEAR GCS632U KVM switch to move between my Mini and Windows XP Pro PC. The keyboard is an Apple Pro. The switch was perfect for several days, then every attempt at invoking the hot key mode would fail; resetting the switch would not correct the problem. IOGEAR Support had me try another keyboard, which is the current standard Apple wired keyboard (the $30 one); it had the same problem as the Pro keyboard. Also we tried other things, but all failed. Sent the KVM switch to IOGEAR and they sent me a new one. After two days using the new switch, the keyboard malfunctioned; this time it was the backward delete key that failed. Same problem using other Apple keyboard. IOGEAR Support, after going through the same previous routine in which nothing succeeded in correcting the problem, tells me to return the switch and they will send me another. Based on my experience, apparently the GCS632U model has an incompatibility problem with (some?) Apple keyboards. This is confirmed by two posts on other discussion groups sites. Also, IOGEAR Support would almost admit that to be the case. They suggested that I use a generic keyboard, but I refuse to buy one just to use that KVM switch. IOGEAR should post the potential problem on their website as a warning.
Does anyone out there know from experience that a particular IOGEAR model does work with an Apple keyboard? IOGEAR Support says that they will send me a different model if I pay the difference. Or can anyone give me the brand name and model number of any KVM switch known to be compatible with Apple keyboards (particularly one that costs less thatn $75)? A ConnectPro 2-port USB KVM switch will work, according to another discussion group post. Any advice or information will be much appreciated.

I am aware that many people, like me, have lost the ability to mirror their iPad, iPhone or computer with Apple TV. Has anyone yet found a solution? One day it worked, the next day the option to switch between the device and Apple TV had disappeared.

Has anyone managed to resolve the problems encountered with Apple TV and the loss of ability to mirror iphones, ipads or computers? One day it was working perfectly, from all the above devices, the next the option to switch between playing on the device or mirroring to apple tv had disappeared. I have tried all the obvious such as updating iTunes, turning all devices off and then back on, but nothing is working. Help please!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your problem is most certainly network related, you might try restarting your devices including your router as a temporary solution, but in the long term would be better correcting the problems with your network.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

How do I switch between the Dutch and New Zealand App Store?

I am living in New Zealand and bought my iPhone here. I used the New Zealand AppStore but was trying to see if I could also use some Dutch apps because that's were I'm from. I was able to switch to the Dutch AppStore but my appleID was not compatible. Now I don't know how to switch back to the New Zealand App Store and I can't update my current apps anymore either.

Why is the image on my screen changing when I switch between the library and develop modules?

I've noticed in the past couple of days that I will be refining an image in the develop module, feel I've gotten it the way I want it to look, and then switch back to the library module to export. When I do so, I notice the colors are quite different than they were just a second ago in the develop module. When I switch back to the develop module, it goes back to the way it looked in the develop module. How might I fix this?

Is what you see in Library the original, camera-embedded preview or is it just a messed up version of the LR-rendering? You can test this by making a significant change to an image with the problem (Exposure -4 or Saturation +100) and see if the Library Preview also darkens (or the colors saturate) significantly or not. You might also try explicitly telling LR to recompute the Standard then the 1:1 preview to see if either of those show up in Library.
If the Library view never shows any LR adjustments and is always the camera-embedded JPG preview or a LR-preview from some days ago that never changes no matter what you do in Develop, now, then your Previews cache is likely corrupted and the entire should probably be deleted so LR can rebuild them. The previews folder is called catalogname Previews.lrdata and is a subfolder of where your catalog file (.lrcat) is stored. You can location your catalog by going to the General tab in the Catalog Preferences and clicking the Locate button. You should exit LR before trying to delete the Previews subfolder and make sure you’re not deleting the catalog or backups folder, just the folder with Previews.lrdata in the name.
If the Library view just shows a different-looking version of the LR adjustments then perhaps something is wrong with the display-driver or the monitor’s color profile.

How do you scroll up and down on the library and playlists? I can only see an up arrow at the top of the first column on the left and it only switches between the top 28 songs and the bottom 28.

How do I scroll up and down playlists and library on the new iTunes format.? When I ckick on the arrow in the box at the top of the far left column it only switches between the top and bottom 28 songs.

Hi
I looked at the specs for your laptop and there is no HDMI out port for this model but RGB & Headphones out jack should work. Here is the link for closeup views of the ports.

PCUI - Pop-up "save changes" appears every time we switch between the list

Hi Experts,
maybe you can help me with the following issue:
We work with PCUI EP 7.0 and CRM 5.0 and if we start a pcui application (Salesorder for example) and open the
enhanced search, put some data in the search criterias and then press search - the system gives us the "save changes"
pop-up?!? The same behaviour occurs if we switch between the list and the detailed view - and we haven't done any changes
Do you know this problem and do you have a solution for this?
regards
marc

Hi,
This pop up is related to the WorkProtect mode,
It will be configured in the portal,
There will be 3 options available
if Workprotect mode is 0--- then navigate automatically
1-- pop up and then navigate
2- navigate with out saving.
i'm not sure about the values.
WorkProtect mode can be seen in the personalize link and this link is available if eu_role is assigned to the corresponding user.
Please contact portal admin team regarding this.

Should Iplace my ethernet switch between cable modem and airport extreme?

I'm looking for the best placement of an ethernet switch in my home network.
Should I place it "between" my cable modem and my AEBS or connect it to the output from my AEBS?
The current placement is connected to one of the AEBS outputs.
I'm attempting to set up an old AE (802.11 a/g from 2004) with a different network name than my home network, that I'm trying to set up for a college dorm network and each time I plug the AE to the switch to confirm its functionality, my network gets a little confused.
Help appreciated.

jim P.

Should I place it "between" my cable modem and my AEBS or connect it to the output from my AEBS?
This all depends on whether you have a simple modem.....or.....a modem/router or gateway combination device.
If you have a simple modem, you cannot place the switch between the modem and the AEBS. The reason for this is that the modem can only deliver one valid IP address and it will be a matter of chance as to which of the devices connected to the switch receives it. The other device connected to the switch will not be able to access the Internet.
If you have a modem/router or gateway type of device, you can place the switch after the modem/router and before the AEBS if you wish, although there is really no advantage to doing so unless this makes things easier for you in terms of hook up.
If none of this makes much sense at all to you, leave the switch in its current location connected to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AEBS since that setup will work correctly no matter what type of "modem" that you might have.

Is there a difference between the X and Y input parameters of a "=" comparison?

Hello,
In the attached Vi, if I switch the input parameters of the equal comparison, the Vi compiles. Otherwise it shows the class conflict error.
In the real system, I just switched between the parameters and everything worked fine but I'd like to know why this version is wrong so next time I don't waste so much time debugging.
Thanks,
Marce

It looks like you dropped a refnum from the front panel palette and then set the type to boolean; this created a weak-typed refnem. To make a strong typed refnum, right click on the control and select create reference; a reference appears on the block diagram. Go to the reference and right click create control. The reference control on the front panel now has the orange star indicating that it is strong typed.
I don't know why equals behaves the way it does with weak-typed references. You might also experiment with the equals operator on the Express palette.

Switching between the firewire connection and USB 2.0 Connection

Is it possible to switch between the firewire connection and USB 2.0 Connection on a portable external hard drive? I've tried unsuccessfully to use the firewire connection on my external hard drive after using the 2.0 connection. No machine will read the drive if it is connected via the firewire port. Using USB 2.0 it works as intended.

Hello Grizzly Marmot,
Thank you for the feedback. So probably my old MAXTOR enclosure is playing me tricks ....
Last night the backup on my USB 2.0 was terribly slow ??? The incremental duplication of my hard drive (372.9 MB of data from 35GB of complete data) gave me these stats:
Copied : 6232 files, 372,9 Mo
Average : 8,8 Mo/minute (4,5 copying, 148,1 verifiying)
Just to analyse the drive it takes ±45 minutes ??? Also could the energy saving mode be a slow down factor (the suspension of the computer is NEVER) ???
I still wonder what speed I could experience for a wireless backup to a NAS drive ??
Thanks for helping.
Robert

If I have an airport extreme and a time capsule is it possible for seamless switching between the 2 when a signal is weak or drops
Main reason is as I move from my first floor to my attic office and would like to place one (airport extreme)downstairs and time capsule upstairs to get complete coverage

In theory, yes. If you configure the two base station into either an extended or roaming network configuration, you should be able to walk a laptop between routers and the laptop should attempt to connect/reconnect to the base station providing the stronger signal ... but, in reality, this is not always 100% true.

Switching between the Classic View and the Tree View in transaction FEBA

Hi All
I would like to know how to switch between the Classic View and the Tree View on transaction FEBA for post processing of bank statements. I have a scenario where in the DEV client the transaction is calling up the Tree View and in my QA environment it calls up the Classic View, and I would like to know if there is a way to easily switch between the two views.
I'd appreciate your assistance.

Hi,
I think you can do the same using transaction codes FEBA and FEBAN.
Thanks
