How do I get my laptop computer to display on the projector? (link) |
Most laptop computers require you to turn on the external monitor output in order to send the computer image to the projector. Follow these steps for WINDOWS based laptops: -Be sure you have a proper cable connected from your laptop's external monitor port directly to the projector or to the classroom podium connectors. -Press and hold the Fn key on your keyboard (usually located in the lower left). -Press the specific key for your laptop (F1-F12) that controls your external monitor port. The key is usually indicated by an external monitor icon or the words "CRT/LCD". For example, on a Dell laptop the proper keystroke combination is Fn+F8. Other brands may use Fn+F5, Fn+F7 or another combination. Check your owner's manual if you are unsure. -Repeat the keystroke combination if the laptop does not project after the first attempt.
ForMAC laptops: -An adaptor cable is usually necessary to connect a MAC laptop to one of the classroom systems or directly to a projector. There are several different styles that are model dependent. This cable normally comes with your laptop. See your owner's manual for more details. -Hook the adaptor cable directly to the projector or to the classroom podium connectors. -It is best to turn on your MAC laptop after making the proper cable connections.

How do I set the region on a Macintosh computer? (link) |
Assuming you're talking about the region for the DVD device, it's a difficult question to answer. The only real way to set it is to insert a disc into the optical drive and wait for the regional interface to appear, and then select your region. I do believe, however, that the region can only be changed so many times before it becomes locked in place. Alternatively, you can download a piece of software known as VLC Media Player, which ignores the region protocol and will allow you to play media from any region so long as you have it set to the default media player instead of Apple's DVD Player. |

How can I move my music (iTunes)to a new computer? (link) |
For this example, I'll go from a Windows machine to Apple, but the process should work in reverse, as well.
If you want to make this easy, you'll need to move all your music into the iTunes folder. There's an easy way to do this: In iTunes go the Advanced menu and choose Consolidate library.
Any music not already in the iTunes folder will not be deleted. You'll just have two copies. One inside the iTunes folder and one outside.
Now quit iTunes and go to My Documents, then My Music, and you should see the iTunes folder. Now you need a place to put that folder. It could be an external drive, a network drive, USB or the fasts is to use a jump drive. Whatever you use just needs to be big enough to hold all your data. Right click on the folder and choose Properties to find out how big it is.
Drag the iTunes folder and copy it to wherever you're temporarily storing it.
Then connect the storage device to the new computer. In this case a Mac.
1. Install and launch iTunes. If iTunes asks to find your music say "no."
2. Quit iTunes.
3. Go to your Music folder.
4. Move the existing iTunes folder to the trash.
5. Copy the old iTunes folder off your storage device and put it where the old folder was.
6. Open iTunes again.
You should see your familiar library with ratings, play counts, etc. |

Why can't I log on to a W&L authenticated web application? (link) |
Here are some of the most common symptoms and solutions to authentication failure to W&L web applications:
- You are repeatedly presented with a login prompt, which never is successful. You are using a personal computer, or are off campus. Try entering your user name with the prefix "AD\" . E.g. AD\MyAccountName . W&L's Active Directory domain is named "AD". This prefix tells the web server which domain to authenticate against.
- The previous step does not work, but in the popup, you see an option similar to "Use Another Account". Select that option, and use the AD\ prefix. In this case, your browser is using your computer's name as the authentication domain, and is ignoring the AD\ prefix.
- Has your W&L password expired? Has it been more that one year since you changed it? You may do so at http://password.wlu.edu.
- You are using FireFox version 30.0 on a Mac or Linux workstation. Release 30 breaks Windows authentication. See the following for a fix: http://managementtools.wlu.edu/Help/Resources/1/271.pdf
- You are using FireFox version 40, and accessing an unauthenticated page with authenticated content embedded in it. This version of FireFox intentionally disables this if the page and content are in different domains. You can configure Firefox to allow this, or use a different browser.
- You are using Safari, and receiving the error "request body stream exhausted". This is a bug with Safari authentication. Use a different browser.
- You are on an iOS device, recently updated to version 7. This update breaks windows authentication for some iOS devices like iPhones or iPads. Use another device.
- You are never presented with a login prompt. You are using Internet Explorer on a W&L computer, from off campus. Integrated Windows login is failing because the browser can not communicate with a W&L AD Domain Controller from off campus. Use another browser or temporarily disable Integrated Windows authentication: https://managementtools.wlu.edu/Help/Default.aspx?col=1&q=unable+log+login
If none of these solutions work, try going to http://MyVI.wlu.edu and opening a web browser from the APPS screen. Then, you will effectively be using a W&L computer, and on campus. This will bypass many issues associated with using personally owned computers. |

Why do authenticated forms embedded in unauthenticated web pages display a 401 Access Denied error using Firefox 40? (link) |
Version 40 of Firefox intentionally disables authenticated content embedded in unauthenticated web pages if the page and content are in different domains.
This can be manually fixed by:
- typing “about:config” in the address bar
- clicking “I’ll be careful, I promise!”
- searching for the Preference Name: network.auth.allow-subresource-auth
- Click the “1” next to that in the Value column and change to “2”

We do not provide copies of the address list for two primary reasons. 1 - it becomes a nightmare to troubleshoot issues as more and more out-of-date address lists are in use, 2 - if a machine holding these addresses gets infected with a virus that uses or collects addresses then our whole address list would be compromised. |

How does an administrative assistant access and use Datatel to find course and student information in order to support their department and its faculty members? (link) |
If you need access to Colleague, please go to https://managementtools.wlu.edu/AccessRequest/ and request an account. Once the proper approvals are granted, an account will be set up for you. Accounts are set up on an individual basis and they should not be shared with anyone. In most cases, when dealing with course and student information, the Registrar’s office will provide some level of training or guidance on how to access the data you require.
If you already have access to Colleague but cannot remember your login information or have issues accessing the system, go to http://webhelpdesk.wlu.edu and create a ticket under the category of Administrative Data – Colleague Issues/Requests. Once submitted, the ticket will be automatically routed to the appropriate person who can help you resolve problems. |

When off campus, why can't I log into a W&L application web site (like SharePoint) using Internet Explorer? (link) |
If one takes a W&L laptop that is in the W&L AD domain off campus and then attaches to a site that is in the IE 'Local Intranet' security zone, the laptop attempts to do pass-through integrated windows login. However, this requires that the computer has direct access to an AD domain controller, which is blocked in the firewall. Unfortunately, IE does not gracefully fall back to a username and password prompt in this case.
To configure IE to always prompt for a username and password:
1. Open Internet Explorer
2. Select “Tools”
3. Select “Internet Options”
4. Select “Security”
5. Select “Local intranet”
6. Select “Custom level…”
7. Scroll all the way to the last option and select “Prompt for user name and password”
8. Select “OK” to exit both dialog windows
To re-configure IE once you are back on campus, follow the same procedure, but in step 7, select “Automatic logon only in Intranet zone” |
