The perfect presentation machine?

Hi, y'all:
This may be too basic, but we really need help making our CEO
happy! He's very hard to please . . .
The machine needs to be light enough to be portable, plug in
and play well with projectors, and only run outlook and play the
videos.
Help!
Thanks.

In terms of performance, Dave C's suggestion of a name bramd
mid level machine is fine for anything but over-bloated
requirements.
As for your CEO - who clearly doesn't know (or even want to
know) anything about computers - typically the biggest issue with
playing video on a laptop connected to a projector comes from the
fact that many laptops only play video on what has been assigne the
'Primary' display. There are also things like 'Theatre mode' (where
the laptop tries to play all video full screen, and changes the
resolution as well) which are best avoided.
These issues are not with Director - they also exist even in
WMP. Your best option is of course to test with a connected monitor
before you buy.
I can't say which brand will be easier to confogure this way,
though my old ThinkPad had 'Presentation Manager' software that
seemed simple to configure and implement.

    Is the apple time machine  present in all 2TB WD passport  portable drive

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Time Machine is included in OS X, not in external drives, so no external drives come with Time Machine. You have to set it up in System Preferences > Time Machine > Select Disk, and selecting the external drive (it can be a Western Digital My Password drive if you want to).

  • How to configure bpm composer and access the projects present in bpm mds re

    To access the bpm composer I performed the below mentioned steps: - Installed the standalone weblogic server with soa server configured
    - Invoked the bpm composer using the url : http://machine:soa_port/bpm/composer
    - Used weblogic and weblogic1 as username and password.
    Please let me know whether I am following the correct approach as I am not able to see any options in bpm composer like open project etc, the project menu appears but there are no projects visible.

    The answer couldn't help us much. I will give you the steps we have followed in detail
    We have created a sample customizable BPEL process by selecting a Customizable checkbox in Jdev.
    Then,The sample BPEL process is deployed to SOA server from JDeveloper. We could see the deployed BPM process in EM console.
    Also the MDS repositories required for customization too are present in EM.
    Then We tried accessing the BPM Composer to do some customization on the sample BPEL process deployed. We are able to login to the BPM composer using "weblogic" user.
    But the composer displays only the welcome page. There are no other links enabled.
    Please let us know How to make a BPEL process customizable using BPM composer.
    Also there is an another SOA Composer. When this composer is mainly used?
    There is another BPM Workspace console. But we could not login to this using "Weblogic" user though we are able to login in EM, SOA and BPM composer.
    Why the login failed uisng "weblogic" user here?What for this console is used?

  • Dedicated presentation machine

    Hi Guys,
    Im a motion regular and find myself with a challenge in keynote. Task:
    To deliver an interactive FULL SCREEN presntation including QT movie on a mac mini with 17" display. I hope to use keynote instead of PP. The idea is to distribute these machines turnkey so when the client turns them they will go directly to presentation mode and play.
    Heres the questions:
    QT full screen inbeded in slides ( on 17" monitor) guessing 1024 X 768. Suggestions?
    Script or settings for auto run or start up folder?
    Any companies that might do this sort of thing in the L.A area.

    I'm setting up a very similar system, and I strongly recommend working with a developer since this will require some Applescript development to operate as a stand alone, self running kiosk.
    I've worked with and Brad Weber, who has written the Applescript and 'wrapper' app that launches the keynote presentation when the iMac starts up, then keeps checking to make sure its running.
    If you're interested, you can reach Brad @ [email protected]
    Also, I recommend Centurion Technology's MacShield. It 'resets' the Mac back to a predefined state at reboot, reversing any changes made since the last reboot (file deletions, settings changed, etc.)

  • Interested in your ideas for improving the JKI State Machine

    [cross-posted to LAVA]
    Hi LabVIEW'ers,
    Over at JKI, we've soft-launched a new idea exchange for the JKI State Machine:
    http://ideas.jki.net...-state-machine/
    I've seeded this with a couple ideas we've heard mentioned before.  If you're interested in providing your feedback on ways to make the JKI State Machine Better, we'd love to hear it!
    In addition to feature ideas, we're also interested in knowing what types of design patterns and application examples you'd like to see.
    Regards,
    -Jim

    Hi Wiebe,
    You're right that you don't get edit-time type checking with a string-based state machine (as opposed to an enum-based state machine) -- the up-side is that you get a much faster/flexible way to work on the state machine (such as having the ability to comment out state strings by prefixing with a "//" or "#", as our state string parser allows).  Also, we do have a special "Default" frame to catch states that are miss-spelled or not in defined in the Case Structure -- this will present a dialog and raise and error, by default.  And, it's possible that we could create some tools to do edit-time checking of the state strings against the Case Structure frames.
    Regarding state flow, there is the possibility of creating tooling that helps visualize state flow.  In a post on LAVA, Mikael Holmström posted an example of using the Endevo GOOP Development Suite to reverse engineer a state machine.
    This doesn't completely work, but it shows an interesting possibility.
    Thanks for offering to refer people to the JKI State Machine.
    Cheers,
    -Jim

  • ADF / OBIEE Integration : Unable to connect to the BI Presentation Server

    Hi,
    Using JDeveloper 11.1.1.6, I have created one ADF application to test its integration with OBIEE 11.1.1.6. The application contains jsf page which holds OBIEE dashboard. At OBIEE side, I have created Impersonate user. When I run this application on Integrated Weblogic Server, it shows OBIEE dashboard perfectly. But when I deploy the application on OBIEE weblogic server, it is deployed successfully but shows following error when we try to access application through URL.
    Unable to connect to the BI Presentation Server. Please ensure that it is running, configured properly, and that the connection details within this application are correct.Please check the log file for more details.
    The connection (http) is working fine when we check it inside application. Can you please help how to resolve this issue?

    Hi,
    I can see 2 errors and 1 trace message in EM for that deployed application.

  • What's the perfect new-MBP configuration for Logic?

    I hope this isn't a troll.  I've been waiting, waiting WAITING for the "refresh" of the MacBook Pro (MBP) to come out so I can solve a few performance problems (including my use of Logic which really requires it to be on one of those laptop fan-stands to keep it cool).  The good news?  The "refresh" is out.  The bad news, there is a huge choice -- old-style MBP or retina-display MBP?
    I think I've concluded that "old style" is the way to go -- I like to repair/upgrade my machines too much to give that option up.  So now I'm working on what to put in it.  Hence this post.  Given your experiences, what would you stick in the "perfect" old-style MBP if you were in my shoes?  Here's what I'm leaning towards.
    -- Max out the non-upgradeable stuff when I buy the machine -- so...
       -- 2.7 GHz processor
       -- Hi-Res Anti-glare screen
    -- Minimize the "upgradeable" bits (since I'm going to replace them with aftermarket stuff)
       -- 750GB 5400 rpm disk drive
       -- Minimum memory
    -- Aftermarket upgrades
       -- Memory
       -- Disk drive
       -- Replace optical drive with a flash drive
    Questions:
    1) Memory upgrade -- any recommendations on memory that runs cooler than other types?  My current setup started running a bit hotter when I swapped in aftermarket memory.  I'd cheerfully buy Apple memory to avoid this problem, but maybe there's an aftermarket flavor that is equally good?
    2) Disk drive -- same thing, although I'm not cheerful about buying the Apple versions unless I absolutely have to.  Throughput is key, right?  Anything else I should be keeping an eye on?  Again, heat is something I'm trying to avoid.
    3) Optical drive -- I am massively confused on this one.  I understand the benefits to throughput (and perhaps heat).  But which things should go where?  OS and other "static" stuff (like application programs) on the flash drive (to avoid the finite-writes problem)?  So put Logic Pro and the sound files on the flash drive (I'm thinking that's what I'm going to do)?  Put project files there too?  Recommendations on brands?  Recommendations on optical-drive replacement kits?
    4) Anything else that *you're* doing to build your 2012 MBP for Logic?
    Sorry if this is a troll -- I tried to find this post on the list.  If there is one, just link me into the thread.  Thanks!

    The RME I use is so intuitive it knows knows my moods and often refuses to record as it knows I'm going to $uck so why bother.
    It also decides on which takes to keep.
    pancenter-
    p.s. MOTU stuff is solid and straightforward.

    Hi all,
    I checked with Oracle on the above and got the info currently , the we can utilise only the space available in the existing repo and cannot extend to additional repo.
    Work around is : Clone it to the other repo , or Use Symbolic link .
    Thanks,

  • I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it.

    I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it. Adobe no longer supports activation. Is there a way I can keep using CS2? I need to get files back and forth to my coauthor. I also have CS6. I understand that files can go form 2 to 6, but not backwards. Thanks Robert

    you can download a new installer and serial number from Adobe at Adobe - CS2 Downloads

  • How to make a RTF-Template for the Bill Presentment Architecture (BPA)

    Hallo,
    I search a way to make an external RTF-template for the Oracle Receivables Balance Forward - Detail report in the Bill Presentment Architecture (BPA).
    I've never done that.
    I don't know how to get a XML-file of this request to use for the creation of the RTF-file.
    And so I don't know how to specify in the RTF the LOOPs for the Lines and other If-conditions and so on.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks.

    HI,
    Can you please help me in finding XML output for Invoice Print BPA Child Program. I have tried changing the output format to XML but no luck. If you can send me any suggestion to my email address [email protected] would be very helpful.
    Also, Did you try adding any conditional formatting (eg. <?if:column_name='value'?>) in RTF template? is it working?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

  • I have a 2010 iMac 21.5, and have updated with Maverick. Now I can't open the pages or modify the keynote presentation I am working on.

    I recently updated my 2010 iMac 21.5 to MAVERICK. Now I have installed new versions of Pages and Keynote. I have been working on a KEYNOTE presentation that I am modifing for a new presentation at month end, and I can not insert new script. The template is blocked.
    Also, when opening an existing PAGES, I get the message that a new version must be installed and it directs me to the app store to buy it for $19.95. Even though these new editions were installed free with MAVERICK, do I now have to purchased these updates?

    Did you make the Keynotes presentation in the old or the new Keynotes, if you made it with the old version and try to modify it with the new there could be some incomaptibilites. Try opening the presentation with the original version of Keynotes which will probably be located in the Applications folder under iWork.
    Does the message state you may or must purchase an upgrade. For most tasks the old Pages will work on many occasions.
    I have the latest Pages to allow my devices to share over iCloud but I have not upgraded Numbers or Keynote as I do not require the functions the lastest versions provide.

  • Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please.

    Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please. Wasting ink and paper at the moment!!!!!!
    I have tried the printer with my laptop (not updated) and everything is fine. It's just the beautiful 27" Imac that can no longer print.

    Might be a corrupted printer preference file ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Click Go
    Move the com.apple.PrinterPrefs.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac, restart the printer...

  • I have three computers backing up onto the same Time Machine.  The Hard drive of one has now failed, and I'd like to restore certain items (principally photographs) to one of the other two computers.  How can I do this?

    I have three computers backing up onto the same Time Machine.  The Hard drive of one has now failed, and I'd like to restore certain items (principally photographs) to one of the other two computers.  How can I do this?

    "You can also browse the original backup disk for past backups by using "Browse other Time Machine Disks"--to see this choice, hold the Option key then click the Time Machine menu in the Finder (to see the menu, "Show Time Machine status in the menu bar" must be selected in Time Machine preferences."

  • Two computers backed up on the same Time machine disk, one computer is dead. How to access data?

    Hi guys,
    I backed up two different computers on the same time machine disk. Now, one of my computer is dead. I can see the backups on my time machine disk. How can I get the backup data that belongs to dead computer. When I enter time machine, I only have access to corresponding backup.  I do not want to  destroy the backups. My timemachine backup structure looks like below:
    -->Backups.backupdb
         -->Computer-1
         -->Computer-2
    Now, my Computer-1 is dead, and I am using Compter-2. If possible I wan to know a way of accessing Computer-1 data without destroying any other backups/files etc. Than you!

    I loathe sending people offsite for information except WRT time machine.  The late James Pond was a master at all things Time Machine related...maybe more....may he rest in peace for his contributions to ASC.

  • How do i find out the status of the ink in the HP 5510 machine?

    Please can you advise how i find out what the status of the ink is in the "HP 5510" machine?

    Hi,
    Please use this:
    From the Printer Home screen, touch the right directional key, and then touch the Ink icon to display the estimated ink
    levels.
    Regards,
    Note: The ink icon is similar to a drp\op of water.
