Trying to get DVI to HDMI to work - help?

I bought a DVI to HDMI cable & hooked it up to my MBA & flat-screen HDTV - all I get is the Apple "galaxy" background. What settings do I need to change to get this to work?

It is working. That's extended desktop mode. Drag an app off the right side of your Mac screen and it will appear on the TV.
Alternatively you can change to Mirror mode by pressing CMD F1
This will toggle between mirror mode and extended desktop mode. You can also set the options in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab.

Will a DVI to HDMI adaptor work when connecting the ipad2 to a projector?

Will a DVI to HDMI adaptor work when connecting the ipad2 to a projector?
I have connected my ipad2 to my HDTV and it works perfectly. I'm trying to connect the ipad to either the DVI port on my classroom laptop or to my Promethean board so that I can mirror educational apps for my students. Does anyone have suggestions on how to make this work?

No, there's not any damage to your MacBook.

I am trying to get this java program to work

I need your help, I am trying to get this java program to work. The program is long and massive, but I got stuck in the last point where the program checks if there are a double quotes or a comma in a string.
The string is an URL retrieved from XML files (this is already done).
There are 4 conditions:
Case 1
=====
The URL string is of invalid format and contains no commas (,) and no double quotes (").
Make no changes to the URL string.
Case 2
=====
The URL string is of invalid format and contains 1 or more double quotes (") but no commas.
Make no changes to the URL string.
Case 3
=====
The URL string is of invalid format and contains 1 or more commas (,) but no double quotes.
Modify the URL string so that it starts and ends with a double quote (").
Case 4
=====
The URL string is of invalid format and contains 1 or more double quotes (") and one or more commas (,).
Modify the URL string so that every double quote (") becomes a double double quote (""), and so that it starts and ends with a double quote (").
======
then write the modified URL string to the CSV file.
======
Examples:
1. hello ---> hello
2. hello "big" world ---> hello "big" world
3. hello, world ---> "hello, world"
4. hello "big,big" world ---> "hello ""big,big"" world"

You can do the searching with String.indexOf() and then you can make replacements (like " with "") with String.replaceAll().
As for adding leading and trailing ", that could be done with simple concatenation.

Unless you're trying to tether your phone to your computer or create a personal hotspot, it won't pair with your computer by bluetooth. File transfer by bluetooth is not supported. So, you can quit trying unless you're trying to tether.

MacBook Mini-DVI to HDMI not working on Vizio VO22LF 1080p

I recently purchased a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter so I can hook my macbook to my Vizio 1080p LCD TV. The macbook detects the TV correctly but no matter what I do the TV never detects the macbook on the hdmi input.
Doing some searches I saw discussion of a bug with 1080p that and a trick to get two 1920x1080 resolutions to show up in the display options but it never works for me.
When I connect to my 42" Panasonic 720p everything works great.
Any thoughts??

This sounds a lot like the problem relating to an Apple disclaimer about the mini driving non-coherent displays which seems to especially affect the original G4 mini. See here under the "Video" sub-section:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP65
The problem is the timing for 1680 x 1050 will often have a dot clock above 135 MHz. There are really only a couple things you can do; one is to use the VGA interface as you have been and the second is to use a program like SwitchRes X to lower the pixel clock and stay with the DVI interface. If you want to go the SwitchRes X route, download and install it (get the SwitchRes X Control Panel version and not the full version of SwitchRes X) and then write back to this thread and I can take you through the steps you need to perform. You can also get more info from this thread:

Macbook late 2009 mini DVI to HDMI not working

I never had a problem using my external TV with my macbook untill now. I always connect it using a mini DVI cable to HDMI to TV. It worked pefectly for a while. But recently it stopped working, when i plug in my macbook to TV it shows a blue screen for few seconds and then nothnig. there's no signal on the TV.
Any resolution will be appreciated.

I Started seeing this on my Mac Mini attached to my HDTV from DVI to HDMI after upgrading to 10.5.8.
I am running Spaces. Are you? Is it possibly related to this? I have seen a couple times where the screen was blue for some time and after pressing CTR-Left Arrow
to switch spaces, I would get my screen. Try switching spaces with the keyboard shortcut and see what you get.

Trying to get a code walkthrough to work - Bing Ads Api C# Web App

Hi,
I'm trying to get the C# Web App code walkthrough to work. I went through the steps written out, and pasted in the Client ID, Client Secret, RedirectionUri, and DeveloperToken values. When I run the app, it sends me to the redirection URI, with
"?code=" and a 36-character code added onto the address. Could you tell me why this is happening, and what I might need to do to get this working?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike.
The current example assumes that you set the RedirectionUri to index.chtml, which admittedly isn't robust enough. We plan to update it. Typically as you are probably attempting, the callback after the user provides credentials would redirect
to a page other than index.chtml e.g. callback.chtml.
Short term solution is that you can update the RedirectionUri to either "YourSite\" or "YourSite\index.chtml", and the existing sample should run. Otherwise you can define a new callback page that handles the "?code" fragment
e.g. as follows:
// If the current HTTP request is a callback from the Microsoft Account authorization server,
// use the current request url containing authorization code to request new access and refresh tokens
if (Request["code"] != null)
await authorization.RequestAccessAndRefreshTokensAsync(Request.Url);
// Save the authorization object in a session for future requests.
Session["auth"] = authorization;
return await CallBingAdsServices((OAuthWebAuthCodeGrant)Session["auth"]);
Does this help? Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Best regards,
Eric

So sick of trying to get iTunes 8.2 to work on Vista - 7 days of ****

After downloading £50+ worth of new music/audiobooks and tv shows last week, innocently clicked on 'upgrade to 8.2'; (yes I backed up my Library and hard disk first); result, the last 7 days of **** trying to get iTunes and my iPhone to sync. I'm so sick of this bloody iPhone, iTunes and Vista, if I could go out and purchase a replacement to iPhone and iTunes I would without a second thought.
I have tried absolutely everything posted on apple.com/itunes/support in the last 7 days - must have spent a good 4-5 hours a day over the last 7 days trying to fix this sodding fault.
At this point, I'm considering going back to CDs, and the simplicity of just putting a CD on and playing it. It seems but a far away, simple approach to listening to music, compared to the sodding **** of trying to get iTunes to work on my Vista Laptop.
So ****** off I'm thinking of getting rid of my iPhone (and yes I'm at the end of my contract) and going for anything that is Non-Apple.
Anyone else had this delightful experience with iTunes 8.1 and 8.2?

Read the iTouch forums and other iPhone forums... this is a big issue and a known bug. Apple contacted me right after I posted my issue. I downloaded it when it was released. My fix tonight was to downgrade to iTunes 8.1. This works for sure, so this is the only fix that I know truly works.

Trying to get simple UDP Server to work

Hello
I am trying to get a simple UDP Server to work. I have written the Server and a Client and upto a point the program works. I can make a request from the client and the Server sees this and sends its own response. The problem is the client doesn't seem to receive this response. The error I get is 'java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Receive timed out'.
Below is the code for the Server;
        while (true) {
            try {
                for (i = 0; i < sendBuffer.length; i++)
                    sendBuffer[i] = 0;
                for (i = 0; i < receiveBuffer.length; i++)
                    receiveBuffer[i] = 0;
                serverSocket.receive(receivePacket);
                telemetryRequest = new String(receivePacket.getData(), 0, receivePacket.getLength());
                jTextFieldServerStatus.setText(telemetryRequest);
                receivePacket.setLength(receiveBuffer.length);
                sendTelemetry = new String("airspeed=" + Math.round(Float.valueOf((airspeed))));
                sendBuffer = sendTelemetry.getBytes("ASCII");
                sendPacket = new DatagramPacket(sendBuffer, sendBuffer.length, clientIPAddress, clientPort);
                sendPacket.setData(sendBuffer, 0, sendBuffer.length);
                serverSocket.send(sendPacket);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                jTextFieldServerStatus.setText("Error on server socket");
                return;
        }I have tested the Client against another UDP Server and this works, so I believe it is something in my Server code causing the problem.
If anyone has a solution to this problem I would really appreicate their help.
Regards
Gary

Trying to get dwm, urxvt, transparency to work nicely together

New Arch user here, great distribution.
I've been trying to set up dwm with the Monaco font (great monospace/ttf font) and transparency. As you know, dwm launches uxterm by default as a new terminal. I wanted something with transparency, so I tried urxvt and tried to get it to use "fake" transparency (I could try real transparency, but when I launch xcompmgr I get a plethora of streaming error messages, so I guess I'll have the fake stuff). My ~.Xresources file looks like so:
! URxvt*font: Monaco
URxvt*background: black
URxvt*foreground: white
URxvt*termName: rxvt
URxvt*multichar_encoding: utf-8
URxvt*transparent: true
URxvt*tintColor: white
URxvt*shading: 50
URxvt*loginShell: true
URxvt*scrollBar: false
URxvt*scrollKey: true
URxvt*saveLines: 3000
I grabbed this somewhere from the net. I've commented out the font, because its another issue and I'll address it below. After saving this, and running xrdb -load ~/.Xresources, I try launching urxvt. The colors work fine (background and foreground), but I can't seem to get the transparency working at all. Instead its just a solid color.
As for the font, I installed Monaco from the arch repos. I tried using xlsfonts to get the "name" of the font, but that showed up nothing. Can urxvt use ttf fonts?
Thanks for your help, I'll post anything else anyone needs.

This will probably help (it will probably help with your font problems as well). See what it says about using shading and tintColor at the same time.
Also, just for future reference, please use Code tags for posting file content or terminal output.
Like this:
[code]Some text[/code]
Thanks for the link. I must have skimmed over too quickly last time. I got the font working, awesome how the wiki uses the font I want as an example For the transparency however, no dice. I tried using either only shading or tint, but both of them failed. Just to be 100% certain, I don't need xcompmgr running or anything for this to work right?
Trilby wrote:I'm not sure where dwm comes into play here, but I will give you one of my own grievances: I much prefer "real" transparency because with psuedo-transparency, whenever the layout changes, there seems to be a good bit of lag between to windows changing shape and the pseudo-background being redrawn. It's ugly as hell - so I use true transparency. I'm still working, however, on a dwm patch to "hide other" windows in monocle mode, because as is, a true transparent terminal in monocle mode shows other windows below it ... also ugly as hell.
The only saving grace is that I never really use terminals in monocle mode - thats just for my web browser on occasion.
As for the problem at hand, I second Jack's point. Remove one of those and try again.
I figured I'd mention dwm seeing as they mention transparency issues out of box (ie, none). I thought maybe running dwm required me to have an extra daemon running or something... I do agree that true transparency would be much nicer, but I'm running into big issues with xcompmgr. Running from shell dumps an endless stream of "error 163: BadPicture request 149 minor 8 serial xxxxx" and running it straight from dmenu results in ugly transparency between different tags in dwm (I have a terminal open on tag 1 and firefox open on tag 2, I can see firefox through the terminal on tag 1). Admittedly, I haven't read into anything regarding xcompmgr so these could all be trivial issues.
jasonwryan wrote:Welcome to the boards Max. What took you so long?
Hey Jason. Well, a couple years back I saw your awesome screenshot of dwm and decided to switch from KDE to it. I guess recently I felt like going the whole way and running Arch. I loved getting everything up and running manually (nothing like installing an OS and being given only a simple terminal ). Thanks for the welcome.

Trying to get a code walkthrough to work - Bing Ads Api C# Desktop App

Hi,
I'm trying to get the Bing Ads API Desktop App Walkthrough working. When I run it where it says to run, I get an error saying "Uri passed doesn't contain code param..."
All I've done to the copied and pasted code was input ClientId and DeveloperToken in the first part of the MainWindow class.
Do you have any idea what could be causing this?
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/bing-ads-net-walkthrough-desktop-application.aspx
Thanks,
Mike

I am able to repro the issue by using the ClientId of a web application.
The proposed solution is to register an application as a desktop or mobile application, in order to use that example. Running Fiddler you can capture the traffic e.g. as follows:
https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf?error=invalid_request&error_description=The%20provided%20value%20for%20the%20input%20parameter%20'redirect_uri'%20is%20not%20valid.%20The%20client%20application%20must%20be%20marked%20as%20'mobile'%2c%20or%20the%20value%20must%20be%20an%20absolute%20URL%20which%20matches%20the%20registered%20redirect%20URI.&lc=1033
It seems the 'Uri' error message is thrown by the SDK because it tries to get access and refresh tokens with the URL above instead of the expected on with 'code'. We will take a look at the SDK and make sure the right error message is being relayed.
By the way if you want to use a web application (as it sounds like you may have already registered one), try Walkthrough: Bing Ads Web Application in C#.
Please let me know if I can help with any other questions.
I hope this helps!
