Missing Sony TV Display drivers that were present in Leopard

When I got my MacBook Pro, out of the box w/ Leopard it was able to detect my 40" Sony TV when I connected the two with a VGA cable. My computer automatically switched to the resolution correct for the TV, and the display was detected as "Sony TV." After upgrading to Snow Leopard, it seems to have lost the drivers and capability to interface with my TV. When I connect them now, my Mac claims the connected video source (which it doesn't detect as a Sony TV) can only do a very low resolution, even though my TV is a capable of HD resolutions. What can I do to get these drivers back?

Recent versions of Mac OS X have changed the way the Mac detects the remote device, in part because of changes in specs.
You might want to try downloading the excellent shareware program switchResX to see if that allows you to use the resolution you prefer with your TV:

Several Fonts are now missing in Microsoft Office (2010), which were present before the upgrade. Most notably, Calibri Bold will no longer display.

Has anyone else had anything similar happen? After I upgraded to Yosemite, several font families that were present in Office 2010 are now suddenly gone. Any document that I use Calibri Bold in now displays as something similar to Times. Even opening new documents, powerpoints, etc, does not fix the issue. On all web browsers, it displays correctly, and even as I type this question, I am able to use Calibri Bold, simply not within Office itself. Any clue?

It might be the case that OS X Yosemite disabled your MS fonts, by default. I found that Calibri Bold & Italic was disabled, so I had to enable it again.
HOW TO DO THIS...
In the "Spotlight Search" on the upper right-hand corner, type in "Font Book" and open the application.
--Click on "All Fonts."
--Scroll to "Calibri." Click on the font to open the drop-down menu. This should show you various font styles for that font family.
--If it says "off" next to it, right-click that style, and choose "Enable (font)."
Restart your documents, and you should be good to go.

Mac Pro crashing with BootCamp 3.0 drivers that came with snow leopard

I have a 2008 (early) 2.8ghz Mac Pro. Additions are 2 500gb HD for 1tb software RAID 0, and stock 320gb HD. Running boot camp with windows vista on the stock 320gb HD. No probs with bootcamp 2.1 but when upgraded to bootcamp 3.0 drivers that came with snow leopard. Computer crashes and does not boot past the windows symbol just before login prompt. Also does a crash dump and restarts.
Reformatting drive and reinstalling Vista with 2.1 drivers have no problems.
Please help!

Apple technote on renaming AppleHFS.sys - the read feature for HFS volumes.
The faulty HFS driver is a valid concern.
It seems to happen on many systems.
You find it in Windows/system32/drivers/AppleHFS.sys
Renaming to AppleHFS_disabled.sys will avoid the blue screens until you have found another solution or Apple updates Bootcamp 3.0.
If the system crashes before you can edit the name you can do it in OS X as well if you install NTFS drivers. Paragon has a test driver that will do temporarily.
(can't find the technote - searching Apple support kb has only gotten harder in the last couple years, and typing "Apple HFS Windows" in Google is something best I can do)

If you are missing contacts on your Pre that are present in GMail...

I had two problems when I first got my Pre on release day. Multiple contacts "nesting" and missing contacts (not brought over from my GMail Contacts). Recently I had a reboot issue following 1.3.5 and 1.3.5.1 updates to WebOS. Palm had me run WebOS Doctor and that wiped all my info. When I came back into WebOS my two email accounts, contacts and calendar did not work. I was able to remove the emails and rebuild them back to working order. When I tried to log into contacts or calendar (GMail) all I got was a spinning circle and "Logging in". After completely removing and re-entering contacts and calendar I got all of my calendar and what looked like 20 of my 392 contacts to come into the Pre. After examination I noticed two nested (Pre calls them linked) contacts. Inside a single contact were 25 others. I am not aware of a batch file to do this so I clicked on the linked contacts icon (top right corner) and 25 times I selected "unlink". When All were unlinked (including another cache) I now had 85 of my 392 contacts. I then called Palm and got level one (of whom had never heard of this issue!!) and after an hour was given level two. I had previously spoken to Dev techs about this back when the phone was released and had not yet heard of a solution. After a lot of wrangling with level two the tech asked me if I have any contacts that begin with "special characters". I first said, "No". Then I asked if a number is considered a special character? I removed the first three of my 392 contacts as they started with a number and WHAM! ALL of my remaining contacts came screaming into my Pre!! I find it hard to believe that the WebOS is so unyielding as to not accept a contact named "800 number for Palm" or "1922 Peachtree RD" but if you want all of your GMail contacts to sync to your Pre make sure all names begin with ONLY a through z.

Firefox will not display characters that were added by the webmaster on user PC?

I employed a company to design a site for me which is great. Then I asked them to add a small button/image in the back end (admin area) that when clicked on will send an email. No image will display so I got them to change it to Text format, still it is not showing on my end. The design company are able to send me emails showing where it is but I cannot see it. It is worthwhile mentioning that it will not display in either IE8 or Opera, Is it a firewall problem ? Or a setting on Windows 7?

New Mac Pro/Yosemite lost display resolutions that were in Mavericks

After a 9 hour migration process from my old Mac Pro, late 2007 2.8Ghz Dual Quad core, to a new Mac Pro 3.5Ghz 6-Core, I have had issues with the display resolution I used on my old Mac Pro. They don't show up in the list of available resolutions, and now everything on my Dell 30" display is HUGE! How can I get the resolution settings back to where the old Mac Pro was?

In the System Preferences "Display" pane - do you have "Best for display" or "Scaled" selected for the problematic 30" Dell display. Based on your comments I'm guessing it's the "Scaled" option which should show you the list of all resolutions that it knows your graphics board can do. So what graphics board do you have in the new and old Mac Pro? It's listed in the "System Information" app (click on the Apple in the menu bar at the top of the screen, then hold down the Option key and then click on "System Information". The graphics board is listed in the "Graphics/Displays" option about half way down the list of Hardware items on the left of the page. Did you migrate the old graphics board in the older Mac Pro over to the new one or does the new Mac Pro have it's own? What exactly is the list of resolutions that are shown for your new Mac Pro with the Dell 30"?
Also I'm a little confused - on which system is the Dell 30" on now - the old Mac Pro or the new one? Which resolution setting did the Dell on the old Mac Pro used to be set at and what is it now on the new Mac Pro?

"Show All" in Spotlight missing the number of items that were found?

how do i allow Spotlight results page to display the total number of results for the search?
say i search for "compare" the top result would be Show All (427), the 427 being the number times Spotlight found the word "compare"
anyone have a solution?

Hi Mike, they dropped the number of results in 10.5, perhaps because they dropped the Spotlight window you got in Tiger when you clicked Show All--which did in fact show all the items in the menu bar list. In Leopard when you click on Show All you get a regular search window, just as if you had hit Command-F to start with, with the defaults set for "This Mac" and "Content"--but you won't see the same number of results because the things returned using the menu bar Spotlight and the things returned using a search window differ. I presume they dropped the number because people would be very confused if the menu bar obviously had 30 items and clicking Show All resulted in a list of only 10 items.

HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

Dell U2412M as an external display for my MacBook Pro mid 2008, the clarity of fonts are absolutely unimpressive. The settings do not detect the Dell U2412M (which is grayed out), are there any drivers that need to be installed ?

I have posted this annoying Robles to bugreport.apple.com. Hope I can get locution (although Apple normally will not respond):
On a software name Appfresh, it alerted me to update my MBPr 15 inches running latest OSX 10.8.2, with Chinese Word List Update 1.2. When I clicked on Software Pdate, app Store return No update available.
My system have Chinese Word List Update 1.0 installed, and on October 5, 2012, Chinese Word List Update 1.1 was released by Apple, as alerted through AppFresh. However, this update never get updated on m system. I have to manually download chinesewordlistupdate.pkg from reviews.cnet.com/macfixit and install it manually. By doing so, I have Chinese Word List Update 1.1 on my system.
The same problem occurred again today on November 5, 2012, where Chinese Word List Update is released by Apple. again, it fail to update from Software Update menu.
Can you please:
1. Explain why this problem occurred. This is so annoying.
2. Advise me how can I get this Chinese Word List Date to update to version 1.2. Can you please send me the chinesewordlistupdate.pkg for version 1,2 so that I can manually install it on my system?
3. How can I prevent similar problem with he subsequent version?
Why Apple don't make this update standard as other update?
Support please. Thank for response in advance

Photos missing from ipad that were there this morning

Yesterday I lost my iPhone. It has not been found and must be turned off.
I had hundreds of photos on the iPhone that were synced with iCloud.
THis morning I was able to see those images on my iPad and so was happy they were not lost. tonight I went into photos in my iPad and the photos are no longer there.
Where did the photos go and how do I get them back?
All my contacts and notes still seem to be synced.
Please help.

Yes iCloud is being used. It syncs my photos mail notes etc with my iPhone and iPad.
LIke me I said yesterday morning I could see photos taken on my iPhone on my ipad. Later that night when the phone went missing the photos have disappeared.
i Checked and in the settings I have auto backup turned on.

I just upgraded to the new Photo and find a few things missing. May find more later. My Events are gone. Also, the Albums and Projects that I created that were on the left side tab of iPhoto are now gone. Where are they?

Where are my Events from the old iPhoto? Also, where are the albums and projects I created that were on the left side tab in my old iPhoto?

After importing my iPhoto Library no Events became Albums. Some of my Albums are still Albums, but many are missing from the Albums tab and Sidebar. One of the Albums listed has no photos when it should have 142. Another is missing nearly all of its photos. I found some missing Albums by name via the search window. Yet they remain missing from the Albums tab. Very strange indeed. This is one big mess right now! Thank goodness iPhoto still works.
Yes, it's a mess for sure, and I've lost confidence in it for now. First attempt, 5 photos came up missing. Delete and start over, then after second attempt 18 photos go missing. Even one single missing photo is a real confidence breaker for me.
After conversion, and activation of the sidebar, all of my Events were migrated into a single "Photos" Album called "iPhoto Events". Why would I want "legacy" Events segregated into one big Album? What the heck am I supposed to do with that? That's useless if new photos are going to be organized in some other way moving forward. I cannot imagine new photos automatically putting themselves into a new Event inside of the "iPhoto Events" Album... because they won't. I'll be stuck with my old iPhoto Events in this one Album, and the new stuff organized as per Photos. Weird, just weird.
Also, in the "all photos" view, there are dates that are just blank. I think I know why. In iPhoto, I merged various photos into single Events. For whatever reason, within the Library, this left empty folders behind. iPhoto's fault, not mine... I simply dragged & dropped photos to combine Events. Then during Photos import/conversion these empty folders got converted into "blank" days within Photos... this is simply ridiculous. When programming for an import, you'd want to ignore a folder if there are no files inside of it, not convert it into a block of photos that contain no photos. It's nonsensical... you cannot have an iPhoto Event with zero photos, yet that's what was converted over. LOL.
I'm certainly not going to invest the time into cleaning up and moving hundreds of Events and 18,000 photos if Photos can't even do a simple library conversion. Heck, what about the dozens of photos that my iPhone 5S fails to geotag for whatever reason? Can't edit geotags. Can't bulk edit meta data. These are pretty basic functions. Total fail.
I'm going back to iPhoto for a while, hoping Apple eventually cleans up this mess into something usable.

TX1120US, Windows 7 RC and drivers that work

Is HP planning on offering Windows 7 drivers that work with the TX1120US Pavilion Laptop? I was recently warned that my Windows 7 Beta needed to be upgraded to Windows 7 RC (by Microsoft) and so.... I forged ahead. However, many of the devices on the TX1120US are not working? A big for instance, I tried to use my projector with the Windows 7 OS and the projector did not recognize any signal coming fromt the VGA port. Another is that I can't adjust the display from standard VGA!. Other items don't work either. I tried using Vista 32 drivers and the install program for the drivers stated that the OS (Windows 7) was not recongized. Help!
Thanks

I installed 7RC on my tx1120, and had similar problems, then today when I ran Windows Update there were two sets of drivers from Nvidia that clear up most of the problems I was having with drivers on the TX -- including the screen resolution problem you mentioned. There is still one driver missing -- (i.e. one "unknown device") I keep on getting the "dingdong" sound when a USB device is inserted -- I suspect a problem with USB drivers is causing this... however, it doesn't really interfere with my usage of the TX. The touch screen is working, to the extent that I've tried it, I never use the touch screen for entering text.
On another thread, I noticed an HP support person chime in that HP would offer an upgrade path when Microsoft releases 7 later this year.

Satellite A300D-1EI - blue screen error - display drivers had failed

I 've bought my laptop a month ago.
Everything is working great except two "blue screen" errors caused by the graphics card.
Both were when the laptop was connected with TV through S-video port.
First was when the laptop display turned off after 15 minutes while watching a movie, on resume said that display drivers had failed and then I got the blue screen. Then I updated the display drivers from ATI's website and set the laptop display not to turn off.
All were ok with no problems, until last night when I got another message that display drivers had failed followed by a blue screen.
I am wondering if this is a driver's problem or is something wrong with my graphics card.
System Info:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T8400 @ 2.26 GHz
Memory (RAM): 3.00 GB
System Type: 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium
Display Adapter: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470

So long you use ATI driver from ATI support page there is no possibility to say anything about it.
This driver is not tested and Toshiba cannot offer any help about it.
So what you can do is to install OS again using recovery media and see what will happen in the future. Please test it intensively with clean preinstalled operating system. Don't install anything that can have some negative influence to this game or additional applications, codecs or something similar.
Test it please and let us know if the problem persists.
When you want to watch movies on TV at first switch to the TV and then start DVD player.
