  • How to connect 12 '' MacBook (2015) to a 24 "or 27" Apple Cinema Display AND fresh!

    I made this post on my site here: https://underground.net/how-to-connect-an-apple-display-to-a-usb-c-macbook/ (which I will update regularly)

    This installation took me a LONG time to understand, but it works very well, no wake mode 'sleep', etc.

    To connect the new MacBook to a 24″ Cinema Display or Apple 27″ LED Display Monitor (who both have a record which is the same as the Thunderbolt connector, but are not actually screens Thunderbolt) you can opt for a really cheap option, as the following point 3.1 AllSmartLife USB Type C adapter Mini DisplayPort Amazon for $ 20 :

    That works very well, but you cannot load your computer when you are connected to the screen, nor can you plug something else on your computer as an external hard drive, etc.

    To be able to recharge your computer AND connect to the screen AND connect other devices to your MacBook, you need the following configuration, and it works great, btw.

    1 first download this USB-C for USB multi-port, Belinda® USB-C for 3 ports USB 3.0 , which is about $ 36 on Amazon.

    2 then, you need an expensive element, StarTech.com USB 3.0 to DisplayPort 2560 x 1600 video card Multi monitor external adapter (USB32DPPRO), which is around $74 on Amazon:

    3 Finally you need a cheap item, the Cable questions DisplayPort / Mini DisplayPort male to female adapter at $ 9 on Amazon:

    Plug all the in such things and he ends up you look pretty clean where it connects to the computer, as you can see below and you can plug in the USB port of the screen on the hub and use the speakers on the screen, AND you still an available for a hard drive, external USB 3.0 port.

    It will cost you around $119! Wow, that's a LOT, but it works. Or you can go cheap and just get the first card for $20 but charge your MacBook by disconnecting from time to time to plug in the charger. What a PAIN in the * Apple.

    The new MacBooks coming will be equipped with a combined USB/Thunderbolt-c plug that should * hope * connect a screen and charge at the same time cheaper, but who knows?

    If you want me to your post something, I can put it on the MacBook 2015 using forum boards.

  • How can I get Windows 7 Pro 32 bit automatically connect to drives mapped to the startup?

    How can I get Windows 7 Pro 32 bit automatically connect to drives mapped to the startup?

    Hello

    It should connect as much as the other computers with their car are on the account users are properly configured, security passwords are defined and firewall do not block.

    If the system is only yours and there is no need of local network security, enable the guest account on all computers, give them all the permissions and there will be less to worry about connection mapped, but local drive without security.

    PS Ce preceding is based on cable connections. If the connections are wireless, it's another story.

    Due to the maturity of the wireless adapter and their support through the OS, automatic connection could not occur.

    Wireless is great, but most of us try to sneak out of it the uses it was not designed for.

  • I installed a driver for my printer Hp Officejet Pro L7380. How to connect the printer to the computer that works with windows vista?

    I installed a driver for my printer Hp Officejet Pro L7380. I can print from my computer and it detected that it, I can't scan anything on my computer because it is not connected. I have tryied Conect it but can not select. So my question is, how I connect printing to computer?

    Specify that you are trying to scan a document Hp Officejet Pro L7380 to your Vista machine.  It has only a single computer attached, or is it a printer networked with other computers?

    If you have installed the base drivers and not the additional software that allows scanning etc so maybe it's why you fail.

    Have a look here.

    Software & Driver Downloads
    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=2093&LC=en&cc=au&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=3198092#n190

    It might be possible with just the base drivers, for other software, such as your Photo editing programs, including painting, for import documents or images from the scanner.  Windows Fax and Scan can be able to do.  When you go in such programs are there options scan and they see your scanner?  If this is not the case, try the full download.

    If you want to of HP to make scanning programs, you may need the-base drivers and software (larger download).

    For my HP ' All in one ' works like a scanner, it was necessary for me to download all drivers and software.

  • How to connect two external HARD drive satellite and the same printer?

    Hello

    I have now two laptop Toshiba Equium.
    What is the best way to connect them so that they can access the same external hard drive and the same printer?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I guess the two laptops are in the same network; Home LAN or WLan. Right?
    I this case I recommend you connect HARD drive and printer to one of the portable satellite.

    Then you can share the HARD drive and the printer with other cell phones on the LAN.

    You could add the network permission to others, and in this case the other participants of the network would be able to share the printer and HARD drive.

  • How to connect to internet via WiFi network?

    Can someone help me please? I'm desperate to be connected to the internet with my toshiba satellite pro wireless free.
    I had it up and working before but then I lost my connection, I'm normally very good with that sort of thing. Is there a helpful soul out there who could give me a step by step idiots guide how to connect my laptop without cables, etc.

    Any help would be appreciated as I want to use my laptop to its full potential.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    First of all, you need to know if the wireless network adapter is installed on your laptop or not.
    Also check device manager if the Wlan card driver is installed correctly.
    Then you must configure your WLan router.
    In this case, you should check your manual for the router WLan configuration of this device.

    If you want to connect to the laptop to the router WLan so you must enable the wireless network adapter. Usually the WLan switch on the side of the laptop must be turned on (LIT)
    Then, you go to the WLan antenna with the FN + F8 key combination.

    If everything is on then you should go to network connections, it you have available WLan network properties. Go to wireless networks and select view wireless networks button. You should see your WLan.

    If you have set up the WLan encryption on the router, then you must first set the password to connect to the WLan.

    When you buy the new printer you will get the installation with driver disc and some applications that you can use for editing and photo software configuration. Install this package and later, when you want to print some documents checks the list of all available devices. Choose your printer and I hope that you will be able to print your documents.

    Of course, WLAN must be configured on your printer.

    I have too many WIFI printer and the whole Setup was very easy and very simple to do.

  • How can I connect Epson R1800 with the new iMac?

    Older to make sure printer, but it is good quality and I have a lot of ink and the large photo paper I want to use up. The printer is connected to my iMac plus old (2009) with the cable provided with the printer and an ethernet (Sonnet simply fast) adapter. It seems that the new iMac is a 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45 connector). Although my Sonnet connector seems to fit in the port, I can't get the computer to recognize that there is a connected printer. Until I can do that, it seems that I can't download the printer driver and everything what I need Epson. (Old iMac died, failed to retrieve the latest driver from there).

    So do I need a different Ethernet adapter? Alternatively, I have USB ports available, how to connect to the printer with a USB connection?

    This printer has a USB port so just connect with a USB cable to the USB port on the iMac.  Download and install drivers from here: printer drivers Epson v3.2 for OS X.

    After installing drivers go to Scanners & printers/system to complete installation.

    Thank you very much, the problem has been resolved.

    The Solution: Run Windows Update and everything will be solved, actually it was an error inherenet on vista (Micrososft ISATAP adapter) so it might conflict with the Bluetooth device, and once the update is installed, all return to it's origin.

  • How create/get ColorPal driver for LabVIEW?

    Hello!

    I am a french student in England and I'm working on the Starter Kit 2.0 (with DaNI Robot). My company wants to turn the feature of prevention of obstacle (thanks to the ultrasonic sensor) into a follower of colored (thanks to the Parallax ColorPal) line. So I want to program in LabVIEW but I don't really know how to get the driver ColorPal or screws to connect between the sbRIO 9632 and this color sensor. I use the same yarn as the ultrasonic sensor to connect the ColorPal.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Concerning

    Kevin

    Hey Kevin,

    I took a glance at the ColorPal documentation and it seems that it is programmed using e/s series. As you can see below:

    You will need to do, is use series found below the palette of e/s of instrument LabVIEW VISA and functions to communicate with your ColorPal. I recommend that you download their website ColorPal documentation and study the syntax of the commands that you will need.

    Also for reference here is a good place to start when programming of VISA.

    Kind regards

    Hi all

    I use labsql (and quite new to him m) and the server Mysql 5.1.I wanted to know how to connect to the database without changing the name of the dsn from the tools administrative/ODBC 5.1 driver manually. I want to install exe in several PC and it would be a great help if I could make the connection directly but my Vi.

    I went through several forums and came to know that 'Provider = ProviderName; Data Source = DatabaseSource; Initial Catalog = DatabaseName; User = username ID; Password = password', should solve the problem. But where in my case I m still confused. The connection string above does not sit well with me.

    Can someone help me please.
