Use external display to present iphone screen for training

I have to teach newbies in my company how to use both the iPhone 4 and the iPad.
I was hoping, that there was a way to display the iPhone screen (exactly like we all see in the keynotes) so I can navigate around and they can see what's happening on an external display - instead of gathering over my shoulder.
There just has to be something - I see all the iphone costumes people use and I can't imagine there isn't a way for me to utilize it for training...
Thanks...

The only way I could think to do that would be to take screenshots of the iPhone showing the things you want to teach them, and then you could buy the iPad VGA Adapter, which works with photo slideshows and movies. You might be better off taking screenshots on the iPhone and iPad and putting together a Powerpoint to demonstrate.
I guess in the Keynotes, Apple has their own custom setup that allows them to show a live feed of the iPhone screen. I hope this is helpful, sorry if it's not exactly what you were looking for.

I have a 17" Macbook pro with flickering red and cyan(blue) lines across the screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem.

I purchased my Macbook (17") through a certified apple tecnition in August 2012, it was refurbished and the motherboard was completely replaced. I do a lot of photo editing, but I have been unable to do so because of the red vibrating lines that interrupt my screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem. I brought the computer back to the technition I purchased it from and he said that it was a problem with my fan, so I have two new fans but the issue is still occuring. He says he doesnt know whats wrong. Does anyone have any information on this issue?
Here is an image of the issue

I recommend having your Mac serviced by someone competent. A force sufficient to "blow apart" the fans was clearly excessive and may have damaged the display cable, as well as any number of other problems.
Dust is properly cleaned with a vacuum, preferably one designed for computer service, and they are not cheap.
Compressed air should never be used. It just blows dust everywhere, often into places where it can no longer be removed.

I use Yahoo Calendar on my IPhone. For whatever reason when I go into my calendar I will see at the top of the screen that 5 or 6 "calendars" are being used and one of them is the one I called Dana_Gardner and is legitimate, the others are randomly named

I use Yahoo Calendar on my IPhone. For whatever reason when I go into my calendar I will see at the top of the screen that 5 or 6 "calendars" are being used and one of them is the one I called Dana_Gardner and is legitimate, the others are randomly named with letters and numbers. Why is the IPhone creating additional "calendars"? I only asked for one to be set-up. I don't understand, I have to go into the calendar settings daily and uncheck these un-asked for calendars. Help!

Mine is doing the same thing. I deleted the whole account from the mail settings and it got rid of most of the extra calendars. But there are still 2 gibberish ones left.

Laptops forgetting startup disk after using external displays

Hi All,
Wonder if anyone has had a similar experience or any ideas.
I'm administering approx 650 laptops in an educational environment which were imaged with deploy studio in the summer and we've got a weird quirk going on: Sometimes when students or teachers use an external display that causes their screen resolution to change, the next time they restart their laptop it will not boot up. I can't recreate this at will but it is happening on a semi-regular basis. On the older white macbooks the laptop will display the boot logo but never show the little spinner than indicates that the start-up is progressing. On some of the newer macbooks, the screen changes to some colored lines. In either case, the solution is simply to option-boot the laptop, and manually select the boot drive. After logging in, manually switching the screen resolution once will cause the laptop to boot normally next time. It's an easy workaround but we use an EFI password so right now the tech desk has to handle this. We see the problem on 10.6.4, 10.6.5, and 10.6.6
I had read that settings for both the start-up disk and screen resolution are present in the nvram, so I'm wondering if I'm seeing a situation where connecting an external display is resulting in some corruption of this.
Looking through the logs I'm not seeing anything that looks out of place. Is there a specific section of the logs that anyone would recommend a more in depth look at, and if so what is the command to make that log as verbose as possible temporarily?
It's definately a quirk in the image or the imaging process so it's not worrying long term, but it'd be great if we could patch it for the remainder of the current school year.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Time Machine does a pseudo-archival backup.
It will until space prohibits it:
1. Backup every hour
2. Backup every day
3. Backup every week
4. Backup every month.
When space prohibits it, it will drop the oldest of each of 1,2,3,4 in sequence to make room for additional backups.
If you stop your Time Machine backing up, and only backup your existing Time Machine archive folders to DVD, or another external hard drive, you can keep older backups of data off your Time Machine backup drive, while giving it room to make more backups. If you clone your data*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Then you can be sure what's on the original is on the destination drive, and keep that as your backup.
Design your backup system to suit your needs. And note, Mac OS X does have an arbitrary 85% full point where it starts to break down and get slower, and have other issues*:
http://www.macmaps.com/diskfull.html
If you find you reach that point a lot, you may want to increase the size of your internal drive.

Can I use the display from the iphone or rotate so that I can use the tv in portrait orientation? or rotate the display of the tv?

Can I use the display from the iphone or rotate so that I can use the tv in portrait orientation with a app or appleTV? or rotate the display of the tv?

The landscape and portrait mode when AirPlaying your iPhone to the Apple TV will depend on the app you are in on the iPhone.
For example, the home screen on your iPhone is in portrait mode even if you rotate the phone, so if you are AirPlay mirroring this, it will show in portrait mode on the TV. If you have photos taken in landscape mode and rotate your phone or watch a video in landscape mode, then the video should appear in landscape mode on the TV.
If things that should be in landscape mode are not in landscape mode, you might have the orientation lock turned on. You can turn it off or on using the steps in this link: http://www.cultofmac.com/142535/how-to-enable-orientation-lock-on-your-ios-devic es-ios-tip/
I hope this helps!

Sorry but no. The iPhone doesn't support dual screens to any device, much less an iPad.

Can i use my sim card from iphone 3g for a iphone 4?

can i use my sim card from iphone 3g for a iphone 4?

Not as it is, no. The iPhone 4 takes micro-SIMs. It is apparently possible to cut down a standard SIM, but it would be best to just get a new micro-SIM from your cell carrier.

S430 - deactive nvidia GPU and still use external displays?

Hi,
I'm interessted in buying an Edge S430. Is it possible to deactive the dedicated nvidia gpu in the bios?
Furthermore, is the intel GPU cabable of using external displays?
Thank you.
Best,
harnz

S430 with Nvidia discrete gpu can be disabled in the BIOS by selecting the integrated GPU option.
I think the DP still work, but not sure whether the Thinkpad HDMI do too.

Screen flickers while using external display

while using my macbook pro with an external display (my sony LCD TV). the external screen (TV) flickers. it goes black for about a second then comes on. it will happen about 20 minutes into watching TV and happens more often the longer i watch. for example i just finished watching a 40 minute video podcast it happened at the halfway point then more often - about 10 minutes later then 5 minutes later - then 2 minutes... the final minutes of the show it happened about 3 times before the end.
any help? any ideas? i suspect (though i can't prove) it has to do with the setting for the external display.
thanks

Can you run memory diagnostics ? Download a pre-compiled bootable iso from http://www.memtest.org/ down the page and make a bootable CD. Boot to this CD and run RAM diagnostic for a couple of hours, maybe overnight, and see if your laptop has RAM errors.
If you have no RAM defect after the long test above, then uninstall all ATI/AMD gfx card drivers in Programs and Feature in Control Panel. Now go to Device Manager and disable your gfx card, putting a checkmark in the box Uninstall drivers for this hardware. ( Please note this operation will not harm your computer. Windows will redetect your gfx card after restart. )
Restart as required by Windows 7.
You may have to disable and then enable the gfx card in Device Manager several times until you are left with VGA drivers only. ( Computer gurus suggest using a Driver Sweeper/Driver Cleaner program. But I do the driver cleaning chore myself. You may go to C:\Windows\System32\DRIVERS folder and manually delete Atikmpag.sys, Atikmdag.sys drivers. )
Now you can re-install the ATI/AMD drivers that you have downloaded from hp suppport.
Hope this helps.

IBook G4 screen broken, can't use external Display

hi folks:
I have a late model G4 iBook (which is outside of the logic board replacement program) that the screen broke and i've been trying to get the external display adapter w/my monitor to work but I can't seem to get it to switch. i can boot the ibook and get the Mac boot 'tone' and it boots (and I can use the volume control buttons (I can hear them working) once it's fully booted (although I can't see anything to tell if it's booted)...and i can see in my router logs that it attempts to get an IP address from my DHCP server..so i know the iBook works, i just can't seem to get it to switch to the external display with the cable attached to the side of my iBook. I've tried resetting the PRAM and fn-F1 to switch to the external display, but nothing seems to work.
i can't afford to fix the broken display, so I wanted to set this up as a mini-desktop..and of course i'd like to get my iTunes music off of the machine along w/some pictures and stuff.
Any ideas guys, i'm at my wits end and not sure what else to try.
Thanks again.
-c
Ps..even if there's some way I can 'hack' into my OWN box and just use remote desktop to control the iBook from my other mac...that would be ok too...
THANKS GUYS

Connect the two Macs with a FireWire cable and start up the iBook with the T key held down. You should then be able to copy off all the files you need from the iBook's hard disk.

Use external display for movies only

Hi,
I have a 22" external display which I like to use for watching DVDs only. Mirroring is not an option for me as this limits the display to a lower resolution. How can I configure my Mac so that whenever I insert a DVD (or start FrontRow) this will come up on the external display and all the rest remains on the internal display?
When I put my MacBook to sleep and wake it up with my remote it works. However the internal display remains switched off and as the external diisplay is not right beside my Mac it makes me kind of blind.
Any ideas?
THANKS

hey there KinoViel,
the 1st time i put a DVD into my iMac i moved the DVD player window from it to my TV. since it is a mostly "permanent" connection every time i put in a DVD & select that input on my TV to watch it, that is where the DVD window shows up(on my TV). the Apple Remote only works w/ the Mac so you can just aim the remote @ the MacBook to use Front Row. my iMac lives next to my seating position so i don't know the keyboard commands for Front Row.... sorry. try a search for Front Row keyboard shortcuts. & i think there's a list of keyboard shortcuts in Finder Help.
when i was using my MacBook w/ my big TV because it was taken in & out of my entertainment system, i had to go through the previously outlined steps every time because the Mac had to find & ID the TV. sometimes i use my MacBook w/ my BR TV & when i connect it, i have to do the steps for the Mac to find & ID the TV.
don't be aplogize for having a PC @ work lots of folks do, be thankful/happy you can come home to the joy your Mac brings you. i'm fortunate that i am self-employed & my Macs do double duty 'cause i do some work @ home, so they're for work & play.
good luck.

Using external display (tv) as different workspace

I just got a minidisplay(thunderbolt) to hdmi cord so I could plug my macbook into my t.v. My question is, how if possible, can I setup my tv display to be playing a movie for example, while I use the actual macbook/computer to work on something else. I have tried and maybe I just don't understand or somethings not working right.
When I plug my external(tv) display in, it displays like a total different background, w/ no icons, anything at all to click on, just a blank desktop w/desktop picture/background. If this is correct (if not wanting to just 'mirror' what is on my compter screen itself), I am not understanding how to open an app specifically on just the tv screen( like just opening up my app to watch a movie with on there).
I've played around w/ the moving of the screens in the display settings, spaces, etc, but maybe I just don't understand it all.
Thanks to any advice/help.

Your external display is working as an extended display. In this mode, you can have an app opened in one display and another app opened in the other display.
To put an app in the external drive, simply open the app and move it to the right part of your MacBook Pro's display. You will see how the window will show up on the TV

Using External Display WITHOUT mirroring or extended desktop

I asked this question about a month ago and it seems to have been deleted for some reason.
I have a broken screen on my Intel iMac G5 for reasons I don't wanna get into here, but trust me, it's not covered under the warranty. I have a great Sony LCD HD Monitor plugged in by VGA and mirroring displays. I have noticed that the computer is a LOT slower since connecting the alternate display, and I think it's because processing the smae information on both displays at once is using up too much system resources. I DON'T want an extended desktop either, since the iMac screen is broken.
Is there a way to turn off the iMac screen completely and ONLY use the external monitor WITHOUT mirroring or extended desktop?
If not, how can I improve my machine's performance while mirroring displays? Is more RAM the answer?

Hello howoriginal
Let me see
1) OK sounds like the Sony is working for you in mirroring.
2) Which iMac do you have Intel or G-5? (Intel's are not G-5s)
3) Don't think you'll be able to turn off the iMac display. (you know I want to ask)
4) Mirroring should not realy affect your performance. Keeping everything "gathered" up to Sony display might help you from misplacing windows and folders.
5) If it's an early Intel Core Duo with 512MB then "yes" more ram to 1, 1.5 or 2GB will boost your performance.
6) Other thing to help performance are OnyX maintenance and quitting App's from menu, not just closing App's with red button that you are not using.
That's all I have for now!

Using External Display Only - Gaming

Hi,
I want to be able to connect my HP w2207h 22inch widescreen external LCD to m'y Macbook Pro running leopard to allow me to play games such as SPORE and The Sims 3. I have already set the external monitor as primary in os x but every time that I start the games that I want to play, the whole screen goes blank (both of them) and the external screen turns itself off. I then have to unplug it to get the picture to appear on the macbook again so I can exit. I still have no idea how to play these games on the external display with this problem.
I have been able to solve this problem in bootcamp however, with the function to turn off the macbookpro display and keep the external by itself. I really want to play these games in os x and on my external display.
Does anyone know how to do this or how to make it so that the macbookpro screen isn't used at all (i.e. the external display is the only one in use)?? Some third-party application?
Cheers
Tim

Timmy, that doesn't seem logical, buddy. If you use the MBP keyboard, I'm quite sure that it thinks u wanna use the MBP display as well. It would seem an inconvenience, to me, to have it open while using another display, anyway. I'm with the idea of using another keyboard & mouse. That's what I do.
I have a ? for ya. U mentioned that u know how to get the external display to be primary while using BootCamp XP. I have done that in the past with no problem. However, it quit working. If I close my MBP, the display turns off & XP will not allow me to do anything until I open the MBP & log back in. If I try to leave the MBP open off to the side & use the Cinema Display as primary XP laughs at me & will only open the game on the MBP display. In XP Settings, the option to uncheck the MBP display as primary is grayed out & there is no option to turn on mirroring for either display or set the Cinema Display as primary. How were u doing what ever u did to use your external display for gaming on BootCamp XP?
