Resolution of X240 and T440p with external 4:3 displays only 1280x1024, although native 1600x1200

We connect the new X240 and T440p - docked in Ultra dock - with two external 20" 4:3 displays via display-port and dvi or just both display-ports.
The maximum resolution which can be chosen in Windows is only 1280x1024 although the displays have a native resolution of 1600x1200.
We already applied all driver- and bios-update and tried different connections.
The same displays worked great with older ThinkPad models.
With 24" displays and 16:10 resolution it is possible to choose the native resolution of 1920x1200.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The problem with the monitors which go blank can be solved:
1. Upgrade the firmware of the Ultra Dock:
Firmware:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/options/fwdphb01.exe
Installation instructions:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/options/fwdphb01.txt
2. Check the FRU-Number of the power supply, if it's 45N0362 than it's on of the good ones, if it's 45N0366 it's one the bad ones. In this case you should contact lenovo support to replace the bad ones.

My external 27" AOC display only runs with 1080p

My external 27" AOC display only runs with 1080p, even though my 27" iMac is capable of 2560x1440 via the attached mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable. How can I get 2560x1440?
When I run recovery mode, then I get the full 2560x1440 pixels. But when I boot back to 10.9.2, then I can only choose a maximum of 1080p.

After some hours I found a solution...
But let me vent a little bit first: My MacBook Air, which I have not yet upgraded to Mavericks, is able to drive the AOC display through DisplayPort at full resolution without a problem.
Even an older lenovo Notebook with Windows 7 immediatelly used the intended resolution when hooking up the 27" screen. Windows 7 outplaying Mavericks. Oh boy...
So it seems, that Mavericks introduced some "improvement" that limitd "unknown" displays to 1080p...
By the way: Clearing PRAM didn't resolve my issue. Neither did holding down the Option key when klicking in the "Scaled" button in the screen resolution area of the system preferences for my screen.
Anyway: I found out that I can use the plist file for a DELL 27" screen, which google found for me, copy this to /System/Library/Displays/Overrides and then rename the folder and file to match the ID I got back from ioreg.
Obviously one has to be careful when mixing hardware data in this way. But since a modern screen will simply refuse to be driven with a signal that is out of spec, and since there are not too many different 27" pannels with 2560x1440 out there these days, this felt like a pretty safe thing to do... Your mileage may vary though!
Unfortunately I don't have a plist editor installed. Thus I can only look at the XML contained in the plist file. With the plist editor from Mac (-> dev tools) it should be possible to edit available resolutions directly (in hex).

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed though.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed in the iTunes library. When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out. However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow. When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list. I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs. Then I did a sync and it happened again!
I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud. Any thougnts?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

How to create portal user and integrate with external appl login

How to create portal user and integrate the user with external application for single sign-on ?
I want to access my external application thru portal user ..?
Shyam

Hi Jithin,
The link that you've shared talks about a different scenario.
In my case, I want to pass the portal user id when the user clicks on the Help Link present in the header area.
I am trying to pass it along with the Help Link Url property of a masthead iview but it is not getting passed to the target Url.
I would like to know if it is possible to pass the Portal User Id in this way or not.
Though if we create a appintegrator iview and pass the user id <User.UserID> along with the target Url, it reaches there.
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag

How do i use iPod and Nano with external HD?

I just bought a Nano and i already owned an iPod. I have my iTunes library stored on an external LaCie drive. I've figured out how to sync the iPod to the drive, but can't figure out how to get my music onto the Nano. Can't find any kind of help in the manuals. . ..
I also can't figure out how to manage my music on the external drive. So i can't create playlists or do anything except in the Finder window. Should i install iTunes on the drive??
Can someone please take me through it step by step. I would also like to know how to keep a separate window for the iPod and the Nano.
thank you for your help.
Cat

Hi Cat,
From the first part of your post I get that you have iTunes working on your computer and you have your songs on an external drive. But do the songs from that external drive show up in iTunes? If you type apple-I (get info) on a song and look at the summary, does it list the external drive as the location of the songs? If so, I'm not sure why you can't manage your songs. Let me guess that your iTunes doesn't show the external drive at all.
If iTunes doesn't show the music from the external drive, then you should go to iTunes preferences advanced and uncheck Keep Organized and Copy files. Change the Music Location to the folder on your external drive. Then go to the folder on the external drive and drag that into iTunes so that it can catalog the files. You should then see all the song files in iTunes and you should be able to mess with playlists and such.
Now, plug in the Nano and set it to Manually update in Preferences. The Nano should show up in the Source column on the left. Grab the songs your want from your library and drag them to the Nano.
It could be too much or too little, or just the wrong stuff. But I hope this works for your situation...

Metadata and edit with external app

Hi,
Learning Aperture and have just done the trial. Considering purchasing but there is one thing that I find frustrating:
I use an external raw converter for my raw files. In Aperture I have the raw and the corresponding tiff from the raw converter for cataloging. I add then metadata to the files in Aperture for organizing. When I choose edit in external editor - TIFF - the metadata is not transferred and reverts back to what it was before being imported into Aperture. This does not happen if I use PSD as the preferred file format in the preference dialog. So I started using PSD as the file format for editing, but if I want to export masters with metadata, Aperture can't do it with the PSD files and gives an error message. What gives?
Rasool

Sorry I should have been clear - I am referring to IPTC metadata.

Budgeting and Calendar with External Agency

We are implementing Marketing Planning/Budgeting/Calendar to help plan and track marketing communications. We are trying to use the budgeting and calendar functionality in conjunction with data we receive from an external agency that provides media planning services and reporting. We are wondering if we are trying to include too much detail in CRM or attempting to do something in the tool that it is not designed for.
Do companies typically integrate and/or upload agency generated data into CRM to create a media calendar? What level of media detail is typically captured in CRM, e.g. for each buy by publication (this could be several thousand lines of data that may be updated frequently as timing and priorities shift) or at a more aggregated level?
thanks,
Brad

Bjoern,
I have not tried sending a format without the year. But be warned, the format once the user selects a date will be based on the user's locale settings and not be the format of the simple type you setup. It will be re-formatted once the data is sent to the server and comes back, but until then it will not be the same as the initial format.

Long time ago I have upgraded even older Satellite M70 with SATA HDD (270 GB if Im remembering well) and everything was fine.
In my opinion upgrade with normal SATA HDD should not be problem. It must not be SATA II because it will not work faster.
I cannot say for sure but there must be some compatibility problem.
Lets see if anyone else had more luck with HDD upgrade on Satellite A100.
Have you checked this forum with advanced search option? Maybe you can find some older thread about HDD upgrade on A100.

Hi! Missing disk utility apps and problems with external disc

Hi everybody! after installing snow leopard, as a way to get to lion, I dont have the disk utility apps.
Besides Im having a lot of problems with an external new Toshiba 1T disc that I try to use with Time machine cause I daily receive the OSX msg CANT REPAIR THE DISK REFORMAT IT!
Thanks a lot to all of the community
I do love Apple product. And counting the days for the iOS 6 upgrade!!

Before you go to Lion, just a reminder. I know you recently moved up to Snow Leopard. Be sure that everything you were running in Leopard, and now in SL, will work for you in Lion.
Remember, Rosetta and all PPC apps are gone (Word 2004, some versions of PhotoShop etc) Check the compatibility list before you ditch SL.
As far as your Disk Utility problem, how hard is it to reinstall SL?
I've taken a screen shot of my Utilities folder to show you what you are looking for. The Utilities folder as mentioned above is in the Aplication Folder (or you may have pulled it out to the side bar as well, in which case there will be an icon and the word Utilities in Places in the side bar.

Pretty Dashes and Hang With External display

Greetings,
About 1 out of 5 times when I plug in an external DVI display, a few seconds after the display wakes up I get a very pretty pattern of dashes and colors on the display and a hung computer. I've kind of lived with it, but this morning the reboot ended up requiring me to reset parameters and other painful things. I searched the forums but didn't see anything similar reported.
Macbook Pro 15, Dell 24" monitor
Any thoughts?

It's not clear how you are attaching the monitor. The preferred method is to attach the external with the computer turned off. That lets the computer discover the monitor and load any needed support files when it next boots.
You might also want an Apple Store or AASP to check for a known video chipset board defect described in this Repair Extension Program (REP):
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
This applies only to MacBook Pros with model identifiers of "MacBookPro3,1" and MacBookPro4,1." Open System Profiler (in Applications > Utilities) to find your identifier code. Code ending with 1,1; 1,2; 2.1; and 2,2 are older and not included in the REP coverage.
If the code is 5,1 or higher, then you MBP is a newer model and you are better off posting in the forum for later MBPS here:

TC and AE with external HDD?

It´s not possible to make a backup on a HDD that is connected to the TC. But If I have a TC and add a Airport Extreme with an external HDD connected to the AE. Is it possible to include the external HDD into the backup that the TC does?

Is it possible to include the external HDD into the backup that the TC does?
No, if you are asking about a Time Machine backup, since Time Machine can only back up a Mac and a hard drive that is connected directly to a Mac.
Try Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper or Chronosync to back up the drive connected to the AirPort Extreme. These will not be Time Machine backups, of course.

Nokia Maps 3.0 on 5800 and problem with external G...

Hi,
I have just updated Nokia Maps to version 3.0, but unfortunately, when I try to use an external GPS (as I always did successfully with Nokia Maps 2.0), the menu asking for GPS device association continues to pop-up and it makes Nokia Maps 3.0 completely unusable. Things work fine with the built-in GPS, but I need the external one to save power and in situations that are particularly cumbersome such as among skyscrapers. What should I do? Another thing: I have already a Drive licence, but I cannot see the 3D buildings: what should I do? Thanks!

Hi lorluin
You must have enabled it by going to Settings > Phone > Application Settings > Positioning > Positioning methods and enable "Bluetooth GPS". Does it make any difference if you open GPS Data application and leave it running and then start OVI Maps?
Are you "On" or "Offline" when trying to see 3D buildings?
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Permissions and problems with external HDD

Starting today I have been unable to copy anything to my 1T Seagate FA GoFlex external HDD. I can access the drive, I can copy files FROM the drive back to my Mac Mini, but I cannot copy anything to the drive. Whenever I try to copy anything I get the error "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)." I have spent the last four hours doing an exhaustive search, and have tried every solution I've come.
Somehow, over the last few days, something has happened to change this external HDD--the permissions and possibly the format. I have been in Disk Utility and am unable to repair. I have tried accessing Disk Utility from startup and am unable to repair. I have also copied the content off of the HDD and have tried to reformat the drive, but I'm getting an error when I try this as well.
When I tried to verify the disk I got this error:
When I tried to repair the disk I got this error:
After copying all of the important files to other drives, I attempted to reformat and got this error:
Then I tried the secure option and got this error:
I did notice that when I click on the Erase tab, the format shows as "Mac OS Extended" but when I click on the RAID tab the format shows "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Shouldn't these match?
I have been using this external HDD for several years now and have never had a problem. This does coincide with the copying of some .mp3 files. Could this be the culprit? (I was unable to remove one zip folder of these mp3 files.)
The permissions for this external HDD seem out of whack as well:
It states "You can only read" but the admin account "MiniMel (Me)" sholws Read & Write.
I am completely stumped and irritated. Is there any help for this HDD or is it just failing? It was no where near capacity. Could the mp3 files have caused the problem? I think this is unlikely, the the timing is coincidental. Should I worry about this happening to the other external HDD and my HD where I copied the files so I could reformat?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your reply.
I tried that last night. When I tried to verify the disk from startup, I received this message:
when I tried to repair the disk I received this message:
After the second message, I moved what I needed off the external HDD and tried to reformat. Which led to the errors in my OP. So frustrating.

Moving catalog and photos with external drive, Elements can't see catalog database

Tried searching, but couldn't find my situation.
I have an old computer with a second hard drive (1.5 TB). I pulled it from my old computer and put it in the new computer.
I also copied my "My Catalog" folder which contains the catalog database file (catalog with a type "PSE8DB").
Got the second drive installed fine in my new computer.
Reinstalled Elements 8.
But the File / Catalog dialog box can't seen the existing catalog database. I can browse to the folder, but it doesn't show up.
Old computer was Windows XP. New computer is Windows 7.
Both are using Photoshop Elements 8.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

John,
1 - Where are your photo files located ? What is the drive letter assignment of this second drive ?
My suspicion is that the photos (and perhaps also video files) reside on that second hard drive which you physically moved and installed in the new computer.
2 - Where is the PSE Catalog file (both on the old XP system and on the new W 7 system) ? Is that folder containing the PSE Catalog on the C drive or on that second hard drive which is now installed on the new W 7 system ?
3 - FYI - I agree with the DJ Paige recommendation to "In Windows, double-click on the *.pse8db file" as a means of starting the Organizer with the Catalog that you previously had under XP . This generally works on most versions of PSE although I did have an experience with PSE 8 where it did not work initially.
4 - FYI - If your photo files were stored under My Pictures under XP, then I think that the other suggestions about PSE not being able to find photosand needing to do a PSE Backup are relevant -
"You catalog will be holding the absolute location of the files in the catalog. These will no longer be valid when porting to Win7 from XP"
However, if your photo files are stored on that second hard drive, I am skeptical about that conclusion.
5 - FYI - I have seen a report of successfully moving a physical second internal drive from old XP PC to new Windows 7 PC with PSE 10. I think that you should be able to do the same with PSE 8.

Windows 2012 storage server and tier with external SSD disks

Hi
My query is in case I have one SAN storage with SSD and FC disks connected to Windows 2012 storage server, will Windows be able to manage Tier between two types of disks if the volumes are properly assigned and formated?

Hi

Regards
Short answer: No, not automatically. Long answer: Yes, it can be done but with some tricks. First you'll have to make your SAN export LUs built from flash and from spindles. At least one of each (see URL below). Then you'll have to build storage spaces (even
clustered but that's not officially supported for non-SAS disks) from them.
See:
Configure Tiering with Windows Server 2012 R2
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2013/10/21/storage-spaces-how-to-configure-storage-tiers-with-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
Both LUs would have non-SSD type reported so you'll have manually assign types with PowerShell what's flash and what's spindle.
"Notice that the SSD devices were detected as SSD media. However, in this case the physical drives show as unknown.
If yours are not detected like in this example, they should be set correctly which can be done using PowerShell. "
Hope this helped :)
