Monitor compatibility issue syncmaster

To whom it may concern,
I have the following problem with my Macbook. I used to use my Samsung Syncmaster 2243BW monitor as an extra display connected to my macbook. It used to work fine with Leopard 10.5, but since the SnowLeopard came out it doesn’t work anymore.
I used a Minidisplay port to VGA adapter to connect my monitor to the macbook, but if i change to display resolution to the native resolution (1680x 1050) the display keeps switching between analog and digital display, but doesn’t show any picture.
The problem occured first when Snow Leopard came out, and remains since than.
It seems that the problem only appears with this particular type of monitor (Samsung Syncmaster 2243BW), as I tried with a different type it worked fine.
Also, when i try to update the software to the MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter, it does not recognise the plugged in adapter, it says that „the installer doesnt find the adapter”.
The problem still remains, and i could not find any solution on forums or discussions whatsoever, and i ve found other people with the same problem but no solution.
Please look into my problem and find a solution, since im not alone with the same issue.
I’m waiting for your answer.
Kind regards,

I have a similar issue with Syncmaster 2233SN. Actually it was working fine as long as I was using snow Leopard 10.6.2 but when I installed the 10.6.3, my Mac stopped handling correctly the 16:9 format of my external monitor. Therefore it displays 1920x1080 pixels on a portion of the monitor covering a 16:10 ratio. In other words, it fills the height but does not fill the width. With 1920x1080 it squeezes the image so I must choose the lower resolution of 1680x1050 which is a correct 16:10 image but NOT the native resolution of my monitor. As usual when you use a non-native resolution, the image doesn't look as good.
Can we expect a fix with the coming 10.6.4 patch? Has a solution been found already? (I searched Google but found nothing). It's really a problem because working all day long with the external monitor is just horrible for the eyes. And the 1280x800 resolution of the Macbook Pro 13 isn't convenient for using Xcode and Interface Builder.

  • MSI R9 290X Lightning & PCIe 2.0 Compatibility issues?

    A week ago I purchased the 290X Lightning from Amazon (Sadly, their logistics service was horrendous and is another reason why I returned both), Instantaneously I had issues. I thought the card must have been faulty as I have a 700W Cooler Master rated PSU which could easily handle the load I would have thought... (Correct me if I'm wrong here. I did try both cards with 8+8+6 and just 8+8 Pins), so I returned it for a replacement.
    Sadly, the second card also had these issues of constant rebooting or freezing/stalling on light loads or heavy loads (more frequently lighter loads oddly enough?) e.g. Using VLC or Web Browsing.
    It occurred to me today that the 290X has a different method of power delivery and uses the PCI express bus slot for power too, is there any reason to speculate that my Motherboard (ASUS M4A78LT-M) with Generation 2.0 PCIe x16 slots have compatibility issues with the 290X lightnings power delivery?
    I would love to try and get a working 290X lightning but I cannot waste my time and money constantly sending them back...
    For reference:
    My Current System:
    Operating System: Windows 8.1 with Update 1 Pro N 64 Bit
    CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 965
    MOBO - ASUS M4A78LT-M
    RAM - 2x4GB Kingston Hyper-X Blu
    GPU - Sapphire HD 6850 1GB (Before MSI 290X Lightning(s))
    SSD - SanDisk 128GB
    HDD1/2 - 2TB WD Green / 320GB Samsung
    Monitor(s) - 29" LG 29UB65 & 23" LG (Forgotten Model) Monitor
    Case - Corsair 750D
    PSU - Cooler Master Silent Pro M, 700 Watt, 80+ (Bronze) - NOTE: Yes the CM PSU does have two separate 8 pin PCI connectors (Each cable has 6+2 and 6 pin connectors)

    Sounds like your PSU!
    I myself am running an 850 Watt PSU, and with the beast of a card the Lightning is, 700 May truly not be enough.
    PCI-E Gen 3.0 cards are backwards compatible with Gen 2.0, so that is not the issue. Up until last week I was running the Lightning on an Asus Saber-tooth 990 FX R2.0 board which is Gen 2.0 and had no issues. But my UPS battery alarm would go crazy when I fired up a game. This never happened when i had even 2 x GTX 780 cards in SLI, so this card alone is still pulling more juice than my system ever had (even with SLI 780's). So I would really suspect your PSU is the culprit here.
    What drivers are you running? I had Bluescreen with the latest 14.6 betas and eyefinity......
    (And why don't you like Amazon's logistics, I find amazon the be one of the BEST on-line e-tailors I have ever used)

  • Monitor compatibility

    Good morning. Can anyone point me to a link on Apple's site for Mac mini monitor compatibility? I'm considering purchasing an Intel Mac mini because I have a monitor that is large and a little old but excellent. It's the ViewSonic CRT PS790 with a 15 pin mini Dhub VGA BNC connector. Will the DVI to ADC adapter work with this monitor?
    Thank you.

    the 1.83 intel mini nicely handles my 22" Viewsonic LCD at 1650x1050.
    I cannot imagine that it could not handle an older CRT at up to 1600x1200--though that might be high for that monitor, that's what my G3 can handle on an old "Sylvania" 19"although I usuall;y use 1024x968 simply so i can see what's being displayed<G>)
    Push come to shove, Costco has 19" viewsonic LCD for less than $200

  • I am having trouble accessing webmail on TalkTalk (formerly Tiscali) using Firefox 5.0 and TalkTalk tell me there is a compatibility issue?

    I had no problem with my previous version of Firefox and I can access my TalkTalk/Tiscali webmail using the latest IE browser. I am able to sign in but cannot access the mailbox contents. When I asked TalkTalk about the problem they have stated the following "If you are unable to access the mailbox using Firefox version 5, then I would like to inform you that there is compatibility issue with Firefox version 5 and Talk Talk webmail, due to which you are getting the above error. You can also try uninstalling the latest version of firefox and then reinstall it to the earlier version to resolve the case." May I assume that between you this difficulty will be resolved? I would prefer to use Firefox and do not wish to revert to IE.

    Apparently TalkTalk mail will work with Firefox 4 and Firefox 5 ''if'' you set the browser to ''lie'' to TalkTalk mail by saying that you are still using version 3.6.
    You can find the instructions for that in a post on the TalkTalk forums: [http://www.talktalk.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=185113#post2452787 Firefox 4 & TalkTalk webmail - Forums].
    Note: when you open about:config the first time, it will display a warning message that you should be careful with the changes you make. That's definitely good to bear in mind.
    Does it work?

  • OS 10.4.11 and HP Officejet 4500 compatibility issue (scanning)

    Hi there,
    I am having a compatibility issue with a G4 (OS 10.4.11) and a HP Officejet 4500 (all-in-one).
    (Sorry if this is a little long, but there are many specs and many attempts listed here).
    Problem: I cannot scan from the computer (upon opening HP Scan, a Browser Device window pops up, asking to "Choose a scanning device" the model is not listed, and it continues to search for a device but cannot find it) or from the scanner control panel to the computer (I tried selecting Open in HP Scan and Open in Preview from the panel  –it then says on the panel "Starting scanning" but it doesn't scan even though the power button flashes (it then reverts to date and time), and the program it's opening in on the computer just seems to hang).
    Still, some functions work fine:
    - I can print from the computer to the printer (it recognizes the printer)
    - The HP fax test seemed to run fine (via computer)
    - As a stand-alone device (without the computer), I can photocopy in B&W and color –so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the scanner itself.
    Here are the specs:
    Computer specs:
    - PowerPC G4, 933 MHz, 512 MB SDRAM, running OS 10.4.11 (no Intel Core processor)
    (the hard drive is partitioned into 3 –one runs 10.4.11 (the others Jaguar and OS9 –for compatiblity with other programs/peripherals) –21GB space remaining on 10.4.11 partition
    All-in-One specs:
    - HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m (USB, not wireless) all-in-one (printer/scanner/fax/copier) with USB 2.0 high-speed A-B printer cable (says in literature and on box it is  compatible with the G4 running OS 10.4.11, 256 MB RAM, 500 MB HD)
    I contacted HP Tech Support. They suggested the following which were tried and failed to work:
    - shutting everything down and restarting (many times)
    - they checked to see if there was any update to the HP software –there didn't appear to be
    - plug power cord directly into wall outlet
    - switch to USB 2.0 cable (from 1.0)
    - unplugging and replugging the USB 2.0 cable
    - plug USB directly into the G4
    - turning off the firewall (under System Preferences - Sharing)
    - "scrub" or complete uninstall of all HP software (twice)
    - search and removal of files via system and user libraries pertaining to HP (and some Epson files)
    - verify and repair permissions (twice)
    - reinstall of HP software (twice, second time after scrub/uninstall and verify/repair permissions)
    - Software Update (via Apple menu) –only found Java 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 Release 2 (version 2.0) which they suggested might fix the problem –I downloaded and installed them, and then J2SE 5.0 Release 4 (version 4.0) which I downloaded but could not install (error message)
    I then contacted Apple Tech Support and they said to go to support.apple.com and do a manual search for "HP 4500" –I did not find any drivers.
    [I did previously have an Epson CX 4600 all-in-one which scanned fine with a USB 1.0 cable, even after the printheads had clogged shut –and I had had a HP Officejet J4580 which worked fine (which was for a family member) –this software would've been removed with the current HP installs and scrubs]
    I am on the verge of returning this –it has also gotten several very bad reviews on the Apple site (for the wireless), however, I may have trouble finding a compatible device, as one running 10.4 is getting hard to find (unless I buy used, then no warranty and potentially other problems).
    If anyone knows of any drivers or has any other information as to why this is not working, I would be most grateful (BTW, I am not much of a tech guy, so please bear with me).
    Thanks.

  • ILife 08 and iMovie 06 compatibility issues?

    Sorry if any of this has already been covered in other threads...
    Has anyone had a chance to thoroughly test the 6.04 version of iMovie (download version if you install iLife 08) and know what compatibility issues there are?
    I.E. How well does iPhoto 08 play with iMovie 06, or iMovie 06 with iDVD 08. Are the third party plugins problematic with v6.04?
    From what I saw at the Apple store, iPhoto08 and iDVD08 would be the only apps that I would really want since iMovie08 seems to be a step backwards and iWeb is still lacking in everything that I wanted improved. But I don't want to waste the money to discover all sorts of "gotchas" with trying to get iMovie06 to play nice with the rest of iLife08...
    Also, has anyone done an install excluding iMovie08 entirely? Do you still need to download 6.04 if installed this way? Are there any pitfalls?
    This is like Deja vu or something...When iLife06 first came out, I installed everything but iMovie and stuck with iMovie05 for a long time cause of all the bugs and how long it took to get the third party plugins working...

    Of all the things for people to moan about with iMovie '08, the real unfortunate thing is it's inability to import effects, etc. (essentially your completed movie) from iMovie HD. One could somewhat forgive Apple for this debacle, if only it played nice with iMovie HD. Then it could be everything it's supporters say it is, i.e. "a different app," "a simple app for simpletons in a hurry" (although I find it's lack of tools and compatibility issues more difficult to manage).
    ...and a lot of us feel like this is the thing we're going to be stuck with going forward.
    I keep thinking that something else is going to happen, because this can't be right. I think this diver/video engineer who came up with this concept is suffering from the bends.
    Apple doesn't need the money, (as in making us buy Final Cut Pro for decent video editing), trust me, so I don't understand why it would take the PR hit.
    iMovie '08 spoofs are already on YouTube, etc.

    Thank you for the update for remote access for desktops.
    Personally, I do not want to give remote access to anyone but myself as privacy is my friend.  Can this remote desktop software still be for me personally unless I allow access and for my MAC lap top only?  What if I do not update? I do use this lap top in other countries.  compatibility issues with what?

    Apple Remote Desktop is off be default. It has to be enabled for some one to be able to remotely connect to the computer. And then, you still have to have a user name and password on the computer to remotely connect with.
    If you want to see if remote access has is enabled for Apple Remote Desktop; you can find the setting in, Apple Menu, System Prefrences, Sharing. If it's enabled, Remote Management or Screen Sharing will be checked.
    Beucase Apple Remote Desktop Agent is part of the Mac Operating System; even if your not using it, Apple Software Updates will from time to time offer updates for ARD Agent. Software Updates can some times be stacked ontop of each other; so chosing not to install an update, can mean other updates you may want may not be offered. At least until you install the updates those updates require. Also software updates can improve the security of your computer.

  • Is there a compatibility issue with the Current USB 3 external Hard drives and MacBook Pro 2011 (USB 2)?

    I am currently having bad hangs with my 13" MacBook Pro (2011) which I book 2012 ad a New external Harddrive (WD My Passport Edge) which was given to me as a gift.
    Friends of mine told me there is a compatibility issue between the USB 3 cord and the USB outlet of my MacBook Pro.
    Although this shouldnt be the case as the box of the Hard drive I got said it was compatible.
    I even downloaded the WD Drive Utilities and sometimes whenthe Harddrive is plugged in the Utilities doean't Open but just bleeps in the Applications Dock.
    Before I used the Harddrive I read a lot from the WD Manual and went to their site and downloaded a firmware update so I really don't know what the problem is.
    What I am afraid of is that I may lose some files if I place them in the external Harddrive.
    Can anyone help me with this or should I be asking for a replacement harddrive?
    This is my first experience with an external hard drive as I never used one before.
    Thank you very much.

    To be honest, I've had back luck with Western Digital drives and I avoid them at all costs. If I were you, I would return the WD drive and look at externals from OWC or MacMall (LaCie, even G-Tech).
    That's just my personal opinion, mind you...

  • Boot Camp / Windows 8.1 64-bit / Driver compatibility issues

    Hi everyone,
    I have been struggling to install Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit version through Boot Camp on my MacBook Air 13 inch mid-2012 for a few days and I have finally decided to give up and write this thread to see if anyone has encountered the same problems as I have and if they've found a solution.
    What I've tried so far:
    1. First attempt
         a. Download the ISO from Microsoft (We are a Microsoft Partner and have access to internal use licences of Windows 8.1).
         b. Use the Boot Camp utility to create a bootable USB drive, download the latest Boot Camp drivers and partition my SSD drive.
              Issue: Upon rebooting, I got the "No bootable device found" error message. I still tried to boot on the USB drive, which I was able to, but           when installing Windows, I was unable to format the partition created by the Boot Camp utility as it contained a "MBR partition table"           instead of a GPT.
    2. Second attempt
         a. I searched the Internet about the error message about the MBR partition table.
         b. The solution I found was to format the partition created by the Boot Camp utility as "Free space".
         c. I was then able to start Windows installation by formatting the partition I wanted to allot it to through the Windows installation process.
              Issue: The installation went smoothly until my computer rebooted the first time and the "Peripherals preparation" step (sorry about the           approximate translation, I'm used to the French version of it) got stuck at 10% and was brutally followed by a black screen. Forcing the           computer to restart would show the Windows logo and go straight back to the black screen situation...
    3. Third attempt
         a. I decided to create a bootable Windows installation USB drive using UNetBootin utility and creating a "Free space" partition through Disk      Utility on which to install Windows.
         b. I then booted on the USB Drive and was able to install Windows properly.
         c. I donwloaded the set of Boot Camp drivers through Apple's wesbsite corresponding to my MacBook Air model.
              Issue: Somehow, the graphics driver installed by Boot Camp made my system crash as I got a black screen when it tried to install. Even           without doing anything and having Windows try to install the right driver by itself, I got a black screen and an unusable installation of           Windows 8.1.
    What am I missing here? Why isn't the Boot Camp utility working when it should be so easy? Is there a compatibility issue of my graphics driver (Intel HD Graphics 4000) with Windows running under Boot Camp?
    Thanks in advance for your help. I'm in desperate need of a solution as I don't want to go back to using virtualisation softwares such as Parallels Desktop, VMWare, etc. though they work just fine...
    Best regards,
    Alex

    1. Your MBA does not support EFI/Free Space method.
    2. You need to ensure that your USB is a USB2 device.
    3. The MBR should be checked, because there are known cases where BCA fails to create the MBR.
