Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Ok, this is a new one for me - I was trying to switch my Mac monitor with another display I had sitting around (basically trying to get rid of one monitor on my desk by combining the Mac monitor with a studio display) and couldn't get it to work properly. Now I've switched back to the old Mac monitor, and for some reason my computer thinks (a) there are two displays connected and (b) the "television" is the primary one. So I can't see the dock or the toolbar at the top of the screen, and when I open System Preferences, it opens in the other (nonexistant) monitor so I can't get to it. (Scrolling off the side of the screen and clicking/dragging blindly has so far yielded nothing.)
Help?
Ok, managed to drag System Prefs into the display window.
Was able to get the dock and the toolbar back by turning on display mirroring.
Unfortunately, it's still detecting 2 displays. WTF?
I've decided to turn it off for a while and let it stew.
open up system prefs and see if mirror displays is checked?
Oh sorry - forgot to update! I figured this out w/ the help of one of our IT guys over at the channel. I'd completely forgotten about my capture card which does, in fact, output video to a connected display.
So, I'm trying to upload a document to an internal SharePoint site, and keep getting this error message:
The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference.
The hell?
That or the server admin needs to restart IIS on the server.
Question for anybody who knows iPad apps: I've got an iPad 2. I'm trying to put together a classroom activity where I'll show the graph of a function on the screen and projector, then have a student use the stylus to try to draw the graph of the derivative on the same axes, then press some button that will show the actual graph of the derivative so that they can see how closely it matches up to the sketch. I tried putting this together as an applet in GeoGebra, but the pen tool there doesn't really work the way I need it to. I can see how to do this using a bunch of image files -- display file 1 with the graph, have student draw on it, then display file 2 transparently over file 1 and the drawing. I'll have a whole bunch of these pairs of pictures. What would be a good program to do this with? I've been using Notetaker HD for a lot of things, but it doesn't seem like it will do the transparency for the second picture like I need.
Wow. I'm flummoxed. Sounds like you need a drawing program of some sort. Why don't you contact TUAW and ask them this question. They would probably love to research it for you.
Hil,
What about the ipad app "Explain Everything?"
