Toggle between monitor and TV

I want to watch DVD's played on my Mac Mini on my TV as well. I bought one of these http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=6C0 4E07A&nplm=M9267G%2FA DVI to video adapters that allows me to watch whats on my Mini on a TV but I have to unplug the monitor and then plug the adapter into the mini which is a hassle. Can someone recommend some kind of decent less expensive KVM that works if that's even possible? I'm not that techno.
Mac Mini    

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Without some extra hardware, you can't. The mini, like all Macs, looks for data from the display to determine what settings it makes available to the user, so with two displays connected and feeding their available configurations, the mini will get very confused! Even if the two displays have one or more common settings that will actually work, each time the mini boots or wakes and detects the display, one or other (or both) are likely to go blank.
There are adaptors you might consider, such as those from Gefen, but they are not inexpensive. Have a look at http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproductlisting.jsp?listingCategory=Switchers&productTy pe=dvi for a list of available switching options, though beware that for the most part, the need being met is for TWO sources and ONE display, not your ONE source and TWO displays.

  • Getting remote context to "s1" is toggling between "s1" and "s2"

    I'm on WLS8.1SP4.
    I have an app that runs on my admin server, which communicates to a custom mbean hosted on my cluster (managed servers "s1" and "s2"). Some of the operations in the app send the same message to both "s1" and "s2", and some of the operations target either "s1" or "s2".
    Each time the app needs to connect to the mbean on a specific server, it gets the remote context to the server, using the Environment object, setting the provider URL to the URL for that server (I've watched this in the debugger). From that remote context, it does the JNDI lookup, gets the RemoteMBeanServer object, builds the ObjectName for the attribute (most of the calls are just attribute get/set calls), and then calls "getAttribute()" on the remoteMBeanServer. This all seems ok.
    Here's where something goes wrong. What I see happening is very odd. When the application first starts, it makes a set of calls specifically to "s1" and "s2". This first set of calls appears to be ok. However, when I make it go through the same set of calls again, all the calls that specifically build a URL for "s1" actually end up calling "s2". I can verify this by monitoring the debug output in the "get" methods in the mbean code. When I make it go through the calls again, it does them correctly. It very consistently toggles back and forth between "s1" calling "s1" and "s1" calling "s2".
    I'm at a loss to understand why this is happening.
    My admin server (where the main app is running) is Win2k Server, and the managed servers are Solaris 8.
    I've managed to repeat this on a different domain, but hosted on the same distribution and set of servers.
    I filed a ticket for this, and the engineer is working on building a test case to see if they can repeat this.
    I tried one experiment they wanted me to try, by adding the admin server to the cluster, effectively making the main app communicate to "s1", "s2", and "adminServer". What I saw happen with this configuration is that calls to "adminServer" always went to "adminServer", and the same with "s2". The calls to "s1" continued to toggle between "s1" and "s2".

    Minor clarification: I realized that the domain this is on is actually running 8.1SP2 (not SP4).

  • E72 - How to toggle between portrait and landscape...

    Some games refuse to run by displaying "This game is not supported in landscape mode. Please turn your handset to portrait mode".
    How can I toggle between landscape and portrait modes in Nokia E72?

    You can't do that because of the screen orientation which is landscape only in case of E72, E71, E5.

    Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.

  • Differences between Monitor and Decrypt actions in Decryption Policies

    Hi Everybody,
    Currently I'm working in my first WSA (S170) implementation and some questions has popped up while I was configuring the Decryption policies. The main question here is:
    What are the differences between "monitor" and "decrypt" in the URL Filtering options. As I understand the "decrypt" action allows the WSA to decrypt the packet and treats it like a plain HTTP packet applying the Access Policies, malware inspection and so on. Then I do not really know what the Monitor option does, I'm assuming that it does not decrypt the packet and only checks the destination URL and to allow or not the connection.
    Thanks in advance for your collaboration.
    Jose M. Cortes H.

    If you set it for Decrypt, it always decrypts stuff in that category.
    If you set it to monitor, then other criteria in the policy are used for whether to decrypt or not, such as Web Reputation...
    Here's the flow, which I pulled from the online help:

  • Toggle between Rosetta and Universal

    I just installed Flip4mac wmv, in the post is suggested that I select Rosetta in the Get info panel that all went well and I was able to watch the wmv file, no problem.
    My question is how do I get out of or toggle out of Rosetta back into Universal. I have looked on different sites, I must have missed something, I can't seem to figue out how to do this.
    Please excuse my lack on knowledge, this is my second week on a Mac.
    Many thanks.

    I went into Quicktime and was able to select Get Info to change to Rosetta, yet there is no option to go back to universal. What I m reading on the posts that suggested that you can toggle between Rosetta and Universal, or am I misreading that.?
    My Mac Pro is Intel chipped.

  • Agent Desktop's agent state toggles between "ready" and "reserved

    Hello and thanks for all of your past help.  I have a user whos'e Agent Desktop's agent state toggles between "ready" and "reserved when no calls are coming in to he IP Phone 7941 or 7961.  Can anyone help?
    Thanks, Chet

    Is the agent's phone actually ringing at all? If not I suspect the IP IVR ports are unable to call the agent. UCCX tries to send a call to the agent so it sends the reserve event to the agent and then tries to send the call to the agent but is failing so it cancels the event flicking the agent back into ready. Perhaps check to make sure that the ports have an appropriate calling search space to call the agent extension. Maybe configure a phone the same as the IVR port and check to see if you can call the agent extension?
    Cheers,
    Nathan

  • How to change the capture resolution of CaptureDevice and toggle between front and rear camera

    Hi. I'm using Visual Studio 2013, and the Windows Phone App template. I'm using the Microsoft.Devices / CaptureVideo API to capture video. I now want to set the resolution to capture the video in a specific(available) resolution. How do I do that?
    Code snippet reference to API:
    CaptureVideo vcDevice = CaptureDeviceConfiguration.GetDefaultVideoCaptureDevice();
    and I also want to put a button there to toggle between front and rear camera. If I click the button, and the rear camera is currently active, the front camera must become active and vice versa. How do I do that with this API?
    Thank you.

  • PLMD_AUDIT - Toggle between Display and Change - Important!!

    Hello all,
    I've a problem when I work on PLMD_AUDIT.
    Pre-requisite for replicating the issue.
    1> Change the settings in PLMD_AUDIT (a face like icon) to Display mode
    When I run PLMD_AUDIT for an Audit with Action, it displays me the "Grouping" field and the "Involved Persons" tab values correctly.
    But when I toggle from Display to Change, the value in "Grouping" and the "Involved Persons" tab vanishes.
    Can you please check in your system and let me know if you also face this issue?
    Thank you in advance,
    Vaishnavi

    Hello Keerthi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Please follow the below mentioned steps.
    1) Change your time zone to a different time zone other than the created time zone of the action.
    say if action has been created in London time zone, change system zone to some other than London.
    2) Change the Settings in PLMD_AUDIT tcode (face like icon) to Display
    3) Open any audit WITH ACTION.
    4) When you double click on Action inside the audit, the action will be opened in Display mode.
    5) Now toggle between Display and Change.
    6) Kindly check if the values in the "Grouping field" and BUPA roles in "Involved Persons" tab are present now after toggling?
    Please let me know at the earliest.
    Your assistance is highly appreciated in this regard.
    Thanks in advance,
    Vaishnavi

  • UCCE 8.5 Sometimes Agents state toggles between Ready and Reserved

    Hi,
    Sometimes Agents state toggles between Ready and Reserved.
    Our System is UCCE 8.5 and components versions are ICM 8.5.4, CVP 8.5, CM 7.1.
    If Help we use QueueTOSkillGroup node with requery.
    thanks

    Hi,
    If agent is getting Reserved and if the call did not arrive to the agent, there few things we need to check like
    * This mostly happens only for few agents with similar series of Extension (like 5XXX)
    * Phone which has this problem, you need to check the Partition/CSS setting from CUCM side
    * You can check Device Target is configured for that Extension (mostly people use Agent Targeting Rule with the range of    Extensions, make sure this exension is covered in that range)
    * You can check in you CVP, whether you have Routes configured for this series of extensions.
    But usually if this kind of instance happened for an agent for 2 call, the Agent should be moved into NOT READY state automatically by the system with the Reason code 50010.
    Are you sure they are going to Ready state ? Are they manually chaning the state to Ready state or it is automatic
    There are lot of posts in the forum with similar issues

  • Cannot toggle between 2g and 3g

    Im from Sri Lanka and my carrier is Dialog. Im unable to toggle between 2G and 3G. Since the 3G signal strength is sometimes weak it drains alot of battery. Please help...

    You pay the carriers to use their network. They set the terms for that. If an iPhone does not meet your needs sell it and buy a phone that does.

  • No toggle between 2g and 3g ... battery life has decreased

    will there b any option to toggle between 2g and 3g in future ? because till ios 8.0.2 update there is no toggle option to switch your network to 2g  and in areas where 3g network is not good the battery life of iphone has decreased significantly.. including mine and many of my friends.. we have wifi at our home and we dont need any cellular data.....

    It's highly unlikely. All supported carriers operate 3G/HSPA+/LTE networks. Most are in the process of completely killing off their 2G/EDGE networks.

  • Ios8 toggle between 2G and 3G

    I come form India, where the 3G coverage is not that good. So to save on battery I would always keep my phone on 2G and only use 3G when for example I wanted to see a video on youtube.
    But looks like the toggle between 2G and 3G has been removed in IOS8. This is a deal breaker for users like me.
    I travel a lot and charging a battery often is not really a viable option .
    Is there a way to revert back to IOS 7 again. I get a feeling, apple does not seem to care about users from developing countries, this is sheer arrogance to go ahead and remove the toggle between 2G and 3G.
    If apple does not include this feature soon, I may be left with no option but to migrate to Android, where you can toggle between 2G and 3G easily.

  • My phone automatically toggles between silent and ringer mode. How to fix ?

    my phone automatically toggles between silent and ringer mode. How to fix ?

    Hey there Sam1011,
    It sounds like you are not flipping the side switch but the phone keeps muting and unmuting by itself.
    I would start by toggling the side switch manually to mute, then unmute. Then evaluate it for a bit. If the issue persists, reset the phone with this article and test the issue.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
