  • Reset the workspace when switching between laptop and external monitor

    Is there a way to have my work space reset itself (or better yet change between two workspaces) when I pass between my laptop and my external monitor to my office. Adobe likes to crush my workspace in a sea of useless, mutilated pallets when I leave my office. There at least had the kindness to put it when I get back.

    I realize I can manually reset and I even put in place a combination of keys, but I don't see why he can't do it on its own. Or better yet, stop blend it upward in the first place.

    Unfortunately, I think it's an OS and PS reacts only to have to resize it to another monitor.

  • Satellite L750 - loss of image on screen laptop and external to minitor

    No apparent reason, I have known a sudden loss of the image while working on my external monitor and a laptop L750 screen. The only solution seems to be to turn the computer off and then again, with the likely loss of recent work. Technical advice from Toshiba is the mode "Eve" in power to "never" options
    Presumably, this removes the possibility of invoking sleep manually via the Start button.

    Others are experiencing this problem?

    On my machine, I have the same settings, but sleep option is always available. Power management settings generally have nothing to do with it.

    You can switch mode keys FN sleep?

    By the way: is everything is OK with screen and display? Can you work with both of them again?

  • Best editing for Adobe Premiere Pro using laptop and external drive

    I'll confess that I'm not a particularly technical person. But I am learning!

    So I want to ask a simple question and hopefully get some good advice.

    I'm editing a feature-length documentary on Adobe Premiere Pro. I have a lot of HD footage, and I want to optimize my drives to optimize performance. To that end, I recently bought a StudioRAID 4 to glyph.

    I currently work for a Mac Book Pro. I use Mac OS 10.9.5.

    Processor: 2.66 Ghz Interl Core i7

    Memory: 4 GB 1067 Mhz DDR3 (2 GB 2 benches)

    I searched a bit on how to better implement my discs, getting some useful infor here: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/662972 and here: https://www.video2brain.com/en/lessons/optimizing-hard-disks

    But there is a little too much information - and I'm getting lost. Use a 2 disk configuration tips? Or should I partition my drive of new glyph and use the 3 disc mounting configuration.

    I'd appreciate certainly all of the tips!

    Thank you

    Rebecca

    partition the disks will not help and will not change readership by this ranking. better performance would use raid-0 on the StudioRaid of glyph and 2 disk configuration in the table. Make sure that there is a backup of the raid, in case something happens.

    also 4 GB of ram is dangerously low, you can upgrade to 16 gb.

Fault could be the problem?

    Hello

    1. What is the model of the LG external screen?

    Connect the external monitor to a different computer and check if it works.

    Method 2.

  • My mouse pointer moves in the opposite direction, I intend when I use the touchpad on my laptop. It works fine when I use my docking station and external mouse. How can I fix it?

    I'm using Windows Vista with a Sony Vaio laptop.  At the office, I have a docking station with keyboard and external mouse.  Everything works fine with this Setup.  But when I unplug the docking station and use the touchpad on the laptop, my mouse pointer moves in the opposite direction, that is my intention.  I move my finger and the pointer down.  I move to the right and the pointer goes left.  How can I fix?

    Go to start /Control Panel, and then double-click the icon '' mouse. '' When this window opens, select the tab "Touch Pad" at the top. There's a box near the bottom called "Touch sensitivity", click on that. Change the settings a little bit lower than what they are currently at.

  • HP Pavilion 17 Laptop: laptop, usb external speaker iHome and HP Pavilion 27 x 1

    I have a HP Pavilion 17 laptop (Windows 8.1, x 64, AMD A8) and a HP Pavilion 27xi monitor connected to the laptop via HDMI.  Because the monitor has no Audio, I connected an external speaker from iHome usb/bluetooth to the laptop using the connection of headphones and usb connection.  It was scientifically and all was good until I installed an HP Support Assistant update (there were 2) - no sound so back to the restore point.

    I then installed 1 of the recommended updates (there were 2) and tried again.  Not ring again, so I disconnected the HDMI monitor and rebooted the laptop and got her through the speaker iHome. reconnected the monitor and the noise stopped. If I disconnect the monitor, the external speakers work fine!

    NO idea what to do.  I want the monitor (eyes do not reach 70 years but like the portability of a laptop).  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hope someone can help or help me find a solution (apart from the one I found) to get my screen sound and my PC.  Buying another monitor is not an option!

    Thank you

    @yanceyg,

    Hello and thank you very much for posting.  For the most part, I think if it's not broken don't fix it.  The restore point and then do not run update again.  If the system worked great before the update fails after that means that updates are causing a conflict in the system.

    If there are updates available is not something that needs to be done unless you've met material which emits the updates correct.

    The next option is to go and manually remove the drivers for the sound and HDMI support.  Do this safe mode.  Enter safe mode by pressing F8 at startup.

    In safe mode, you can remove the drivers and then start again under windows with the drivers passed then perform updates and see if they play with them right here.

    Please let me know how things are going.

    Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

  • Types of keyboard uppercase with CAPS lock OFF and vice versa - with laptop and same and external keyboard the on-screen keyboard

    During the night, something happened to the way that Windows 8 reads at the entrance to the keyboard.  It doesn't matter if I use the laptop keyboard, external wireless keyboard or pop-up on-screen keyboard, the results are the same.

    If SHIFT CAPS LOCK is DISABLED, the entrance presents itself as CAPS.

    If SHIFT CAPS LOCK is enabled, the entry is lowercase

    Regardless of the status of CAPS, entered numberic is impossible, either from the top row of keys OR number pad (with NumLock on or off).

    It is therefore impossible to connect to the computer as the password there.

  • Portege M800 and external monitor Dynadock question

    I have a M800 connected to a U Dynadock docking station.
    I have problems when I try and put my external monitor as the primary device and have the cell phone as the extension to monitor.

    I am running Windows XP.

    Are the only options it will allow: Clone, Extended (laptop is main and external is the extended option)

    If I use the WIndows graphic option it does not put the external monitor as the main display (I check this option and click on apply and it remains unchecked)

    If someone could help that would be great.
    Otherwise, I would recommend is not to use the dynadock

    Sorry mate but I still don t understand what you are talking about what problem do you have?

    Is the Dynadock video drivers give you the ability to view a total of three screens.
    -L' screen of the laptop.
    -external monitor connected to the video port on the laptop (if available)
    -ewxternal monitor connected to the Dynadock

    In addition, you can use mirror Mode and Extended Mode.

    Mirror Mode creates an identical view between your computer screen and the external monitor
    Extended mode extended Mode lets you split your display on multiple monitors.

    These are the features that you can use with Dynadock

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    This means that you are looking for a cable that you can use the internal monitor to your laptop for the Playstation 3?

    Unfortunately that s is not possible. You can use the laptop as external display monitor. You can extend the laptop to an additional monitor screen, but that s all.

  • Is satellite L350-170 - possible to use the laptop as external monitor

    Ok... So I broke the other day to the top of my screen on my laptop, and was amazing, if it is possible to use another laptop as an external monitor.

    while I put my files on an external hard drive

    or isit only possible connection to the pc?

    Hello

    It would be possible to use the second laptop as an external display ONLY if the computer a laptop would support the video port line-in to the receipt of the video signal.

    But the most common books supports the only video out s-Video port or a vga port, and in this case, you will not be able to use the laptop as a second monitor external.

    For example, the Satellite L350-170 supports only the RGB port that allow you to connect this laptop to external monitor but you can not use this laptop as compensation for external monitor.

  • Best practices for storage and backups on internal and external drives

    Hello

    I have a Mac laptop and I would like your advice on how to organize the storage of files on internal and external drives and how optimizes it the backup plan.

    From now on, my organization of file storage is:

    I keep my most important files on the internal disk of SSD encrypted and less critical files on an encrypted external drive (format ExFAT). This external hard drive was errors, so I bought a new Laetitia 2 Tb drive that I formatted in Mac OS journaled with encryption instead of ExFAT, to replace.

    For backups, I do not use Time Machine, but I use an application that synchronizes files between two disks. By using this application, I first sync the essential document on the SSD files internal to the external drive, and then I synchronize all the external drive to another external drive.

    My question is, if I keep this Organization of file storage or I should, for example just move all my files, critical and non-critical for the internal SSD (I could make enough room for that) and then backup up the whole Mac with Time Machine? Or there is a better way to organize files in this scenario?

    The second question is, if it is better to keep the Organization as it split storage (internal, less critical on external criticism) is what would be the best way to back up everything?

    Thanks in advance for all contributions.

    First of all, to the ExFAT is the problem, I suggest that the reader will just physically hurt.  ExFAT is perfectly acceptable as a format where Mac and PC can read/write.  You may have reacted a little leaving ExFAT for HFS, but you have made your choice and adapts to it.

    Here is how I operate my backups:

    I use CCC (CarbonCopyClone, $40, bombich.com).  It copies the boot sectors, drive, mapping, recovery Partition (these three are 'invisible' to DiskUtility for most) as well as system partitions and data records 'other'.  These other disks may be internal for clone-to-test-new-OSX in multi-disc systems or external for backup purposes.  The beauty is that you can start an external clone in a system crash, then CCC will be re - copy the active external clone on a new/fixed internal drive.

    Encryption isn't something I know, but... If only the content of the system partition and data is encrypted, it * could * be OK for clone-back to partition-as-encrypted partitions.  If you clone internal external the external partition is active and copy the 'encrypted plan', while small adjustments are made so that the race could be bad.  Copy of the files on my partitions unencrypted change interrupt because they are individual files.

    As an alternative, you could have a system drive that does CCC charge, let the clone encrypted and encrypted internal idle and just copy the entire map with the 'third system' active.
