Using a TV as output for my laptop

I have a compaq presario V5000 with a broken screen that I'd like to use my Sanyo TV with. I have the S-Video hooked up, and it lists it in xrandr (and flickers when I type xrandr!), but nothing is showing on it. I'm using the xf86-video-intel driver and when I open lxrandr, select "Turn On" for the TV, it closes but nothing happens and it's not selected when I reopen lxrandr. Here's the output of some relative commands, maybe someone can point me in the right direction?
xrandr -

The graphics adaptor on my Thinkpad R60 is the same. There is only the S-video connector. I rember having a similiar issue with tv-out on an ATI graphics card. The option there was to provide a TV compatible resolution / freq. setting and connect the graphics card to the TV. ie. for NTSC you would use something like 800x600 and 60Hz.
It's some time ago. Have you been lucky on this?

If you are trying to connect via wifi to our iPhone then the password should be displayed on your phone when you go into Personal Hotspot, by default it is a random password set by the phone but you can change it there.

You can use the iPhone as a personal hotspot for the iPad - the iPad should see the iPhone as a wifi network.

Using resolve with toSpecifier() output for quick image previews

Hi there,
I am building an image preview service for in design documents in which a user uploads in design file, we extract custom fields, and display a GUI for the user to enter in custom field values to generate a preview.
One of the features of this is highlighting the contents of the custom field last entered. I have the field highlighting working by checking the "contents" property of various table cell and textframes however I thought by using the elements toSpecifier() value I could pass this in the future to select the element quickly.
However I'm getting an error here.
If I use resolve("/document[@id=170]/page[0]/text-frame[4]") I keep getting back a null value.
Am I not using the toSpecifier() value correctly? Is there another function I need to use to resolve a toSpecifier() string value back into an element on the page? Are you only allowed to use the toSpecifier() output value on the current instance of an indesign script? NOTE: I am saving the toSpecifier() value in the DB and using it in future occassions.
Thanks,
Dustin

They have (sort of), but the scope of the ID is limited to Cells (Cells do not belong to the PageItems Class !) and to the Table they are sitting in.
To address a specific cell in a specific table, you could address the table and the specific cell by its index:
var myCell = mySpecificTable.cells[n];
Or by its ID:
var myCell = mySpecificTable.cells.itemByID(n);
Or by its name:
var myCell = mySpecificTable.cells.itemByName("IndexNumberOfCellInRow:IndexNumberOfRowInTable");
In the case of merged cells over different rows, the number of the index and the ID number of the cell will not match!

How do I use my 8300 as a modem for my laptop

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum. This is my first post...
I'm trying to set up my 8300 smartphone to be used as a tethered modem for my laptop to be able to get the full internet content anywhere with in cell coverage.
Question 1:
I got instructions from the 'BlackBerry HELP' icon on the phone (my question was: how do i use my device as a modem) which seemed very complete. The modem is dial-up and when I try to connect I get Error 718 (basically a timeout error).
Can anyone help?
Question 2:
Since this uses dial-up, would I be using my cell phone minutes?
Thank you, Lar

hello,
first thing is to look on the forum if people have already solved your issue. In this case, the tethering subject is quite frequent. You will certainly find your answer among these discussions :

How do I use my airport express as my default audio for a laptop?

I can stream music from iTunes to our airport exoress no problem, but I'd like to be able to use the speakers connected to our Airport Express as the default audio output for my MacBook Pro - i.e for all sounds, aps, etc. This would allow me to wirelessly stream music or any other audio (not just iTunes) and then have it played through the speakers. I've googled and looked here, but cannot seem to find a clear cut answer that isn't two plus years old in all the clutter.
Thank you in advance.
(PS - I'm working on a MacBook Pro with the latest and currently up to date OS X 10.7.2)

The bottom line is that you will need an application like Airfoil for Mac to be able to stream any audio source on your Mac to the AirPort Express.

Setup Problem HP6830 using Hotspot for Printer & Laptop

I have a TMobile Hotspot that gives me internet access for my laptop.I have a HP Officejet Pro that I just got and I'm trying to set it up on the Hotspot network.I've installed (via disk) the HP Software on my Toshiba Coimputer.I've gone through the setup process on the printer and it shows I'm connected to the Hotspot Network.When I try to go through the setup process on the computer it says it can't find that printer.I've checked - over and over again - the IP, and printed everything out (Config Page & Network TestResults) on the Printer, and it indicates everything is OK. My question is - Why can't my computer find the computer (they're both on the same Hotspot Network)?I don't have a USB Cable right now, and I'm trying to set it up wirelessly. Any suggestion about what I might have missed? Any help would be appreciated

Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I understand you're encountering some setup issues when using your HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer with a mobile hot spot. I would like to assist you with this. In my experience, mobile hotspots are hit and miss when used to support printers' wireless connections, even when the setup's are completed with diligence and care on the part of the user. This caveat aside, as there are no official documents from HP on how to troubleshoot this particular issue, I recommend toggling airplane mode on your T-Mobile device before restoring the hotspot connection. Try the printer to laptop connection via the software as before, once you've confirmed the laptop's connected to the hotspot. If this approach falls short, you could try the alternative and HP supported wireless direct setup method. Here's how: From your printer's front panel touch the Wireless Direct icon ()Turn Wireless Direct OnFrom here you can choose to have it enabled with Security On or Off. If you turn Security On, make a note of the passcode (it'll come in handy later).To learn how to complete the setup on your computer and any other mobile devices, click here for more instructions. Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post. If I have helped you resolve the issue, feel free to give me a virtual high-five by clicking the 'Thumbs Up' icon below and clicking to accept this solution.

Excel Output for Standard Reports using XML Publisher

Hi All,
Customer wants to get Excel Output for the existing Standard/Custom Reports using XML Publisher. I followed the following procedure.
1. Changed the output to XML for Concurrent program ( Trial Balance - Detail )
2. Used the Existing seeded Template
3. Ran the Report using EXCEL as the output.
When I clicked on View Output, I am not able to see the Excel output. I am seeing the HTML tags in the output window. Verified that Viewer Options existed for Excel as follows:
File Format=Excel, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel.
When I ran the report with PDF output. I can see the PDF output.
Ran the HTML output with new Viewer Option ( File Format=HTML, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel) then I can see the output in Browser in the Excel format. I did this test after going through the Metalink Note: Note:316752.1
My question is.. Do I need always choose the HTML ouput in the options window to trigger the Viewer option for HTML. Customer may not like this idea. He would like to choose the Excel Output and see the output in Excel format either in the Browser or Microsoft Excel.
Can someone in this situation before help me out.
Thanks,
V

Questions rephrase:
1. Is the output is same for HTML and Excel options ?
2. Why the output is viewable with HTML option and not with Excel option ?
Customer has XML Publisher Version 5.0.1 and in the process of applying 5.6.1
Thanks,
V

Can N200 battery be used for N100 laptop

Hi,
One of Lenovo resellers suggested that N200 battery can be used for N100 laptop as well. However, N200 one is 11V and N100 one is 10.8V. Otherwise it fits in the laptop design.
Any recommendations or suggestions from experts?
Thanks
Ahmer

Yes, you can with with Airfoil.
However, for watching DVDs, you'll want to use VLC in concert with Airfoil so that you can compensate for the audio delay that will occur otherwise. Open Airfoil and select VLC as the app whose audio should go to the Express. Click on the little button next to the speaker name and VLC will automatically open.
Then open the VLC preferences, select Audio in the list, and click on the Advanced checkbox at the bottom of the preferences window. Enter a negative number of milliseconds in the "Audio desynchronization compensation" field to advance the audio ahead of the video, which will offset the audio delay. Start with -3000 (3 seconds) and you'll probably have to tweak it from there. Then open the DVD in VLC and start it playing.
Yes, this is a pain in the butt, but it's the nature of streaming audio: the audio stream must be prebuffered for a few seconds to keep variations in the data transfer rate from interrupting the audio.

With 10.2 I can only use system speaker output for audio, NOT my RME FF400 I used previously. The FF400 works fine with other apps. How can I set this device in FCP 10.2? (it is set in both system preferences and midi)

With 10.2 I can only use a system (e.g. speaker) output for audio, NOT my RME FF400 I used without any problems previously. The FF400 works fine with other apps (some like TwistedWave) setup in the program, and others (like Spotify) using system preferences & audio midi setup. How can I set the FF400 to be the sound output device in FCP 10.2? N.B. The FF400 is set as sound output device in both system preferences and audio midi setup.

From the fcp.co forum. See if this does anything for you.

I have the solution! Well it at least worked for me. This is the response I got from Apple, Can you please try the following steps towards fixing your audio issue, and report back with your results?
1. Open the application Audio Midi Setup (located in Applications : Utilities)
2. Select the Output Tab for the current output device
3. Select the Configure Speakers option
4. Select the Multichannel tab
5. Change the setting to Stereo Now mine was set to stereo but the left channel wasn't showing left. re-clicking on stereo reloaded the settings and after clicking apply it worked.

I have CS5 for my laptop and want to use it on my Mac too. Do I need to buy a separate license?

I purchased CS5 for my laptop and now want to use it on my Mac book too. Do I need to buy a separate license?

Serial numbers are platform specific. You cannot use a PC license on Mac and vice versa. You would need to run a platform swap to use it on a Mac and upgrade to CS6, but then would lose the PC license. Therefore you eitehr need to buy a separate license for the Mac or join Creative Cloud.

How do I get an adapter for a laptop and iPhone to use them in New Zealand and Australia?

How do I gwet an adapter for a laptop and Iphone to use in New Zealand and Australia?

For the iPhone the regular power adapter will work worldwide. All you need is a plug aapter. 99% of all laptop power packs are also universal. (All Apple laptops certainly are). Look at the label. If it says 120-240 volts, 50/60 Hz it will work anywhere in the world. Again, all you need is a converter for the prongs on the plug.
