Mac Pro and Samsung 32" LED TV Compatibility issues

PLEASE HELP! I purchased this new Tv as my Monitor. I am a photographer and need a clear image and color clarity. The Tv only offers resolutions that are not working! I purchased a new HDMI to DVI cable thinking that might fix the problem. No luck yet. Any suggestion would be great!

Well you don't specify the model of your TV nor the resolution... anyway, the largest resolution you'll ever get from a TV (ever as in the current models offered in stores) is 1920x1080.
I've plugged my MBP via DVI cable to my Samsung series 530 fullHD (1080p) 32" to watch movies, and the tv screen do not make justice either to the os X interface or to any application, it plays the HD content gorgeously but definitely not for serious working... i have a Samsung 23" monitor (2333TN) same full HD resolution connected to my MacPro and it allows me to work comfortably but it is not as nice as the 24" screen on my iMac or the 27" Apple LED Cinema Display...
Good Luck...
Remember... it doesn't have to do with your graphics card but with the actual number of physical pixels built in the screen!!

  • Mac Pro and dual 24" LED Apple Cinema Displays

    I really want to upgrade my current 22" cinema display to the 24" LED, but as far as know there is no way currently to do so.
    Does anyone know how to make it happen? Is there an adapter or do I need a new video card? It has to be possible right?

    Hi,
    the Mini-DisplayPort Apple uses on the MacBook, MacBook Pros and the 24" ACD is a minituarized version of the 'full' DisplayPort and is also a proprietary version currently not used by other manufacturers.
    See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleCinemaDisplay
    Might be only a matter of time for such an adapter to come out.
    (At least I hope so myself, since the ACD looks really good )

  • Mac Pro and MiniDV camera there's an issue

    Hi everybody,
    I've bough a Mac Pro 2.66 Ghz and when I try to connect my MiniDV cam on it it doesn't work
    Here's the problem: When working on Final Cut Express HD or iMovie HD it just don't see any camcorder attached but it was working on my old G4
    And I just tried it on my Win XP partition and it works as it should so it's not a cable issue
    any idea ?
    By the way my cam is a Panasonic PV-GS2
    Thanks
    Eric

    Humm... I have a Canon GL2 and Final Cut Express and iMovie see and capture video just fine. If possible, try a different camcorder and if its a no go then run a hardware test and make sure your firewire feature is operating as it should. Check your cables, might be a source problem.

  • Late 2013 Mac Pro and Samsung 4K U32D970Q Problems

    I'm at my wits end. I really wish 4K displays were truly plug-n-play with new Macs.
    I purchased a Samsung 4K U32D970Q from Amazon due to a couple positive reviews from users stating it works with their 2013 MP. It's a beautiful screen, much better uniformity than the LG 4K I sent back but it has a huge problem with random flickering. And by flickering I mean while watching videos, scrolling a website quickly the screen distorts and "blinks/flickers" momentarily then goes back to normal. I've tried a different DisplayPort>mDP cable along with the provided cables and same issue. The monitor is running SST at 60Hz.
    You can see a video I made showing the blinking/flicker http://youtu.be/Rj8QwgzogqQ
    This is actually my 2nd monitor as I did an exchange with Amazon same issue. I tried to contact Samsung and what a joke that support is. I get a guy who said he has no idea then sent me a firmware update list... that hasn't been updated since last March. No help.
    I've already reset pram and smc, tried different TB ports without any luck.
    Is it just wise to stick to the officially supported, and very expensive, list of 4K monitors or go QHD and wait for the 2016 MP for true 4K+ support?

    I took your advice to setup a Genius appointment but they stopped me at higher tech support over the phone. I was told that because my current NEC 1920x1200 display, and the LG 4K cinema I returned, don't have any issues it's not my D300 gfx cards. He said bringing it in would only verify that so it'd be a waste of time.
    I was then told to return it, we can't officially guarantee 3rd party compatibility etc etc. So sadly my saga with the Samsung is coming to a close. It's seriously the most beautiful screen I've ever used (no dead pixels, only slight contrast lost at the extreme edges but no worse than my aging NEC) which is unfortunate because going back to a non-4K is depressing.
    I'm either going to pick up a QHD NEC or a refurbished Dell 4k 32in from Amazon since they have them used for about $1200 right now. Thanks again to everyone for the help.

  • Mac Pro (late 2013) Philips 288p 4K Monitor Issues

    I have just bought a philips 4k monitor 288p for my Mac pro and I have quite a few issues, does anyone know of a firmware upgrade to the graphics card that will solve these ?
    Issues-
    Crashes on boot up when connect to monitor
    Using monitor is slow i.e. mouse seems to jump a bit, text takes longer to type etc.
    When in 'about this mac' it shows the monitor is running at 7350 x 4500 which is mental
    I have connected via Display port to mini display port and mini display port to dual link Dvi adaptor, both have the same issues.
    Any fixes would be most welcome.
    Thanks

    It sounds like the monitor is not correctly identifying itself to the Mac. Try Page 15 of:
    Mac Pro Late 2013 and Samsung 4k monitor problem
    First try resetting the SMC and PRAM
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    About NVRAM and PRAM
    You will only get 4K at 60 Hz via display port/mini display port.
    Are you using a display port 1.2 cable?
    Your monitor supports 1.2

  • Mac Pro (Early 2008) and HP LP3065 30" display compatibility issue

    Hello!
    Is there FIX / Workaround to Mac Pro (Early 2008) and HP LP3065 30" display compatibility issue ? ( +w/ ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT display adapter+ ). Its really annoying problem :-/.
    Main problem is when i start my Mac, my 30" HP screen dosen't wake up, it always on suspend mode. Sometimes it wakes up on the 3rd try orso, sometimes it ruins my motivation, ideas and i give up (talk about inspiration killer). If i connect PC Laptop to that screen, sreen wakes up straight away. ATI says display adapters "drivers" are included on the OSX install. Great. Weird thing is i didn't recognize this problem at all 6-8 months ago, so i thought my system is fine. So i can't return my HP screen anymore.
    My choices are to buy another 30" screen or buy different display adapter; there's two choices atm i think;
    *-ATI Radeon HD 3870 512MB PCI-E for Mac Pro (~200€)*
    *-EVGA GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition 1GB (~500€)* (this one has seperate OSX drivers).
    _Can anyone confirm if those display adapters work with HP 3065 30" screen ?._

    Thanks for all information. I haven't been Mac user very long . I just want to get rid of my annoying problem. I'll do music composing mainly on my Mac Pro. So, it dosen't really matter what display card i'm using, i want to just make sure it works with HP 3065 .

  • New Mac Pro and LED cinema display

    Sorry if this has been asked before, I tried searching for it but none of the topics answered my question specifically enough.
    I have a 24" Apple LED Cinema Display purchased less than a year ago. Will it connect to a new Mac Pro and what happens to the power cable that's attached to the LED display?

    I have a 24" Apple LED Cinema Display purchased less than a year ago. Will it connect to a new Mac Pro
    Yes. All the standard cards that come in the Mac Pro have one Mini DisplayPort. The 24"LED display will plug into that.
    and what happens to the power cable that's attached to the LED display?
    It is not used if you don't have a MacBook.

  • Quartz Extreme not showing up on stock Mac Pro and card

    I have purchased a new Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display from the Apple store last month. Safari Top Sites is not working and the "help" stated I need Quartz Extreme. Looked in the profile, but it is not listed in the list on the right at all. It is a stock apple card and display.
    Is my monitor video card not even capable of using this feature or do I need to reinstall the system or something??

    With Snow Leo basically if you can't get quartz extreme you shouldn't be running 10.6.x
    Easy way to tell if it is working though would be that your menu bar across the entire top of the screen is transparent, or if you add a widget to dashboard you will get the ripple effect. If you are on a system where Quartz Extreme is disabled you will not get those effects.

  • Going between Mac Pro and G4 laptop

    Hi - I am needing to go out of town for a month and I need to keep working as business as usual with my system. In the past, I would clone my older G4 tower system drive to my G4 Powerbook and then back again when I returned home. This worked perfectly.
    (Using 10.5.7)
    Recently I upgraded to a Mac Pro and I know that with the Intel processor I cannot clone back and forth anymore since my Powerbook is a G4.
    How can I keep my computer, mostly Mail, Dreamweaver and iCal, synced so I can keep my workflow with a good transition? My data is on a separate external drive that travels with me. I'm not worried about applications as I still have them installed on my Powerbook pretty much in the same way as my MP is set up.
    #1 - I really need to have all of my Mail accounts (pop3) data - the sent and received messages - to be duplicated between the two systems before I leave and then when I return to the MP system. My Dreamweaver account settings would be important as well since I need to manage about over 100 different accounts and it helps to keep them current as I am frequently adding and editing account login data.
    Suggestions?

    If you copy the entire user folder you will also copy the /Home/Library/ folder. Although this isn't necessarily a problem, if you have PPC plug-ins for contextual menus, preference panes, or input managers they will no longer work on an Intel machine. You would need to replace them with universal binary versions for compatibility. For more about migration from a PPC see the following:
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

    Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
    will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
    If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
    1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
    2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
    3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
    4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
    5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
    1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
    2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:

    MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
    MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
    Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
    In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    For Entourage users:
    Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
    Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
    Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
    If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
    5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

    How is your external drive formatted? Use Disk Utility to check the volume format. If it is NTFS, you will need to reformat the HDD as exFAT in order to retain universal compatibility (RW to it on both Mac and Windows).

  • I just purchased a mac pro and i wanted to know if they bring microsoft installed already or would i have to purchase it?

    i just purchased a mac pro and i wanted to know if they bring microsoft installed already or would i have to purchase it?

    You would have to purchase Microsoft Office for the Mac, if you want genuine Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. There are other less costly compatible and work-alike products available.
    To install Microsoft Windows, you need to buy Microsoft Windows software, run BootCamp software and partition your Boot Drive, then install Microsoft Windows in its own disk partition, which is a fairly complex process. Then, while running Windows, Install whatever other Windows programs you would like to run. None of this is necessary to simply read and write Microsoft Word or Excel documents.
    There are other compatibility options that you may find adequate for other Windows programs. What do you want to run in Windows?

  • IMessage don't send sms anymore in MacBook Pro, Mac Pro and iPad.

    My MacBook Pro, Mac Pro and iPad don't send sms anymore. They say that the address isn't registered in iMessage. It has worked fine until a couple of days ago.

    Hi,
    Messages and particularly the iMessages account now has a range of "Known Issues"
    First there were these four FaceTime, Game Center, Messages: Troubleshooting sign in issues - Apple Support
    Then there was this 5th one
    This is obviously before the Account seems to be logged in and can only be Fixed by contact Support (you may have to bump to Level 2  people)
    Then there is the issue you have. (I call it Issue 6).
    The App and the Account seem to be logged in.  (you can only tell if you are not if it fails)
    In this case it works on iOS devices, sometimes other Macs if you have them but not on this computer.
    It is related to the Apple ID and the Mac (even if you create another Mac User and set up Messages there the issue continues).
    Deleting the Keychain Item (IDS: AppleID-Auth Token) seems not to help. It is not recreated until you can log in fully/properly.
    On the basis that Issue 5 exists and proves you can have an issue with the ID at the Server and it will only effect one Mac then the presumption can be that this issue is very similar.
    That means contacting Apple Support.
    Level One responders are Script led and will try to fit you into either Software or Hardware issues.
    If you cannot convince them it is an Account Issue (free to fix) then ask to speak to a Level 2 person.
    You may still have issue convincing them as well but they do tend to be more flexible and it really does not take them long to look and check.
