W540 and Ultradock Display Port Issue with Monoprice 27" Monitor

Hi,
I have been troubleshooting an issue with my W540 and Ultradock for over a month now. 
The issue is that the display port will not recognize my Monoprice 27" monitor.  This same monitor was working previously with my W520 and a different dock (ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3) through the same display adapter.  The current monitor will work on the DVI port, but I obviously can't get the full resolution of the monitor without the display port adapter.
So far I have tried:
1) Updating the drivers of the laptop
2) Updating the drivers of the dock itself to 2.22
3) Power cycling the monitor with the PC connected, not connected, etc.
4) Switching between Standard/Advanced mode in the BIOS
5) Nearly every iteration of monitor detection in the screen resolution settings
6) Changing cables, adapters, and display ports
What is different in my scenario (based off of the other issues I've seen with the Ultradock and W540) is that the monitor is never even detected under any circumstance through the display port.  Device manager never sees it, nor does the normal monitor detection procedure. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Austin

Any ideas?
I am about to throw this in the trash...  It's now defaulting my DVI port monitor to 640x480 without the option to change it.

  • ITunes and iPhone 4 sync issues with Windows 7 64 bit

    I am getting several errors with sync'ing iTunes to my iPhone on windows7 64bit. I reinstalled iTunes, I did a repair on iTunes, even tried a RESTORE on iPhone, but it gives me so many errors one after another after another.
    1. Some of the items were NOT copied to iPhone "iPhone" because one ore more errors occured.
    2. Attempting to copy to the disk "iPhone" failed. An internal device error occured.
    3. The iPhone "iPhone" can NOT be synced. An unknown error occured (0xE8004006).
    4. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. The required file can not be found.
    5. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. A duplicate filename was specified.
    6. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. An internal device error occured.
    These errors keep appearing one after the other.
    I have fully uninstalled iTunes and ALL Apple programs from my PC, rebooted, disabled antivirus/firewall software, etc.
    I have tried changing time zones.
    I have created a new user account on same laptop and still have same issues with iTunes.
    Restore fails with error "Unable to read file or file is corrupt".
    Yet iTunes works fine on a 32bit operating system of Windows 7.
    The problem is that I upgraded my laptop and the new laptop is Win7 64bit. I have ALL the newest drivers, and I checked to ensure it was not a BIOS or CHIPSET driver causing issues. All windows updates are up to date and current.
    I have been trying for over a week with every piece of trouble shooting I can find to make this work.
    Any help or further information would be VERY GREATLY APPRECIATED.
    Thanks in Advance

    I too am having the exact same issues on the same laptop! I spent an hour last night with "supervisor" in tech support who didn't solve my problem but did close the ticket (210757099 for any Apple people that might read this). Thanks a lot Ben!
    I have seven ipod/iphone/ipad devices so I am very familiar with how to sync. In the last few weeks, version 10.2 of iTunes (I'm up to 10.2.1.1) has gotten less and less reliable in successfully sync'ing to the devices. It started out with my 3GS, but my iPhone 4 was fine. Then I got an iPad2 and now NOTHING will sync properly. Every time I plug one in (or press the sync button) it wants to do a restore from the backup made the last time it sync'd. It does that, reboots the device and sync's.
    I've gotten a ton of errors, here's a sample.
    iBooks couldn't be installed on my iPhone unknown error 0xE800000C
    Textie couldn't be installed on my iPhone, unknown error 0xE8000013
    "failed required file not found" - This is one of my favorite error messages. It demonstrates how Apple is becoming like Microsoft. It is 100% accurate and totally useless. It would be helpful if it told me the NAME of the file that was not found...
    unknown error 0xE8004006
    "duplicate file found" - Again, in true Microsoft form, it didn't tell me the NAME of the file that was duplicated.
    I tried everything discussed in the following thread but it did not work.

    Stopping the enhanced USB controller didn't work. Mine is the Intel(R) 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller (version 9.1.1.1020).
    A few days ago I got hundreds of errors in a sync. When it completed, a dialogbox came up asking if I wanted to send this crash report to Apple, I said yes. So, crash reports are now automatically being sent. You can see evidence of this in the %appdata%\Apple Computer\Logs directory.
    This section of the log looked interesting because it says it couldn't connect to USB mux port 32498

  • My MacBook Pro 13" (2012) is running Windows 7 on Bootcamp and there is an issue with the headset I'm using.

    My MacBook Pro 13" (2012) is running Windows 7 on Bootcamp and there is an issue with the headset I'm using. I use a cheap Logitech Stereo Headset H130, but since there is only on audio plugin on the computer, I purchased a 3.5 mm 4-pin smartphone audio adapter thingy. That allowed me to put both my the sound coming to my headset & the microphone on my headset onto one wire. Everything worked wonderfully when running the Mac OS since they probably have support for that kind of stuff. The problem is though that once I try to use the same method in Windows 7, the OS doesn't recognize my headset microphone at all, but, instead when recording my voice decides to use the built-in mac microphone. Using this adapter still allows me to hear from my headset, but not use the microphone and that becomes a problem. It might be so that Windows 7 doesn't have support\drivers for that... How should I continue from here on out? Any advice?

    From what I have read from others on here you may be out of luck. You would need the appropriate Windows drivers for the Cirrus chip in the Mac and no one has been able to successfully locate them. Apple wouldn't support this since Windows is an optional install.
    Sorry to bring the bad news.

  • My itunes account shuts down for no reason.  It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and itunes.  I have already  reinstalled itunes and did a syste restore on my computer, firewall checked and virus scan done.  Ideas??

    My itunes account on windows xp shuts down for no reason.  If even try to delete something from my library it shuts down.   It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and I can't connect to the store.  I have already  reinstalled itunes and did a system restore on my computer, firewall has been checked, itunes is ok on firewall and virus scan done.  Ideas??

    Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

    If you also backed up to your computer - you can restore from that backup - to retrieve the files. As far as I know- that should have no bearing on deleting them from iCloud - they should still be in that backup.
    If you used iOS file sharing with your computer - and saved the files to your computer - you can retrieve them from there.
    if the only place that the files were saved to was iCloud, I know of no way to get them back.

  • Part 2: Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?

    I will appreciate some clarification on the some points made in response to my previous post "Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?"
    1.
    " ...you’d better analyze those cubes for data redundancy and presence of data you’ll never use. " I will appreciate some clarification on the type of analysis you are referring to. Examples will help.
    2.
    "If you want to combine several found IOs in your custom dataprovider, then again you must know (or figure out) relationships between these IOs." I will appreciate some clarification on the type of relationship you are referring to. Examples will help.
    3.
    I am a bit confused with "..include into ODS structure ALL fields required for the cube" but you also noted noted that "...except navigational attributes and chars and KFs that are going to be determined in TRs or URs."
    If you exclude ALL these, haven't you excluded all the fields you included in the ODS structure?
    4.
    "Consider carefully the ODS’ key fields selection. Their combination should not allow data aggregation that you don’t need."
    I may be missing the point here, I understand that you need to select the fields which will form the unique ID for the records in the ODS under the Key Field (please correct me if I am wrong with the purpose of the Key Field), but I don't understand the discussion of "aggregation" in the context.
    Thanks in advance

    Hallo
    I try to give some exaplanation based on the previous answer.
    1. Data redundancy - make sure you do not store the same information. does not make sense to have data redundanty across you Data Warehouse. this is also a cost. just sotre the same information one time if you get all what you need.
    2. whatwhever you build you dp, which consist of IO, you need to know with kind of relation (1:1 or 1:n - n:n and so on) exist between them. that will help you when you model you infoprovider. For example I would never pit togheter IO (n:m) in the same dimension if you expect an high number of cardinality. Sometime an IO can be an attribute of another one (depend on relation. For example
    Business Partner and his Address. Usually you have a relation 1:1, in this case address is an attribute of BParten and store it in the Masterdata instead then DP
    3. Sometime when you load from ODS to CUBE, you can fill some IO (which are in the infocube and not in the ODS)through ABAP routine in TR-Start Routine of Update Rule. Does not make sense to include these IO in the ODS as they are NULL or Blank (the deault value). This can happen when for example, you first load in the ODS (Price and Quantity) and then you calculate Sell price later (Price * Quantity). of course it could be doen also in the Bex. Depends on other factors (Performance - Loaidng -Sizing)
    4. Make sure that the KEY definition of ODS is accordingly to the data otherwise you will aggregate the data and later maybe if you need the detail you miss it.
    for example: customer - product - Distr Chan - Sell Price
    if each Customer can buy each product for any Distrution Channel, then when you build your ODS(Customer - Product and Distribution must be KEY) otherwise (if you have only Customer - Product KEY for example) you will lose the details for Distribution Channel.
    I hope eveyrhting is clear
    Regards
    Mike

  • I just recently up graded from AI CS6 to AI CC and I am having issues with my pen tool. If I create a starting point and then make another point it does not allow me to make the secnd point an end point. The pen tool stays active and I either have to clic

    I just recently up graded from AI CS6 to AI CC and I am having issues with my pen tool. If I create a starting point and then make another point it does not allow me to make the second point an end point. The pen tool stays active and I either have to click to isolate the path or I have to return to the first point and close the path. Please help.

    artisttouch,
    If you cannot close the Pen Tool by switching to another tool, as a temporary measure you may try pressing P (for Pen).
    To solve it, you may try the list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

    You hit it right on the head, just because they do not lock down bootloaders still does not change that rooting and installing unarthorized firmware or OS violates TOS and voids warrenty which cleans Verizons hands to replace device if it gets damage while doing any of these things to device.

  • Display Port to a Variety of Monitors?

    I need to connect my MacBook Air to a variety of monitors as I travel. Mostly I need HDMI, but sometimes DVI or VGA. Rather than carry a lot of cables, I'd like to carry a long Display Port cable with three adapters that would allow me to connect to HDMI, DVI or VGA as needed. It seems as though this would be an off-the-shelf package, but not only don't I see an all-in-one package, I don't see individual Display Port to ---- adapters. (I see cables, but not adapters.) Am I trying to solve my problem the wrong way, or is there such a product(s) but I just haven't run across it?

    That's kinda on the right track, but this device would still require that I carry three different cables. My fantasy is this same device but with male rather than female connectors to be able to connect to the three flavors of monitors. Since one piece of plastic might not work for tight spaces on the monitors, I imagine that the device will have to have short cables coming out of it -- even if just a few inches (see diagram).
    Now if long cable A (in the diagram) needs to be an HDMI cable with a Display Port to HDMI adapter that's okay. In that case, then the hydra only needs to have two heads VGA and DVI. In fact, in my original idea, each of the adapters (C in the diagram) were separate rather than a single hydra. Separate or together doesn't matter to me.

  • Problem with mac pro 2x2.93 GHZ Dual Core and Mini Display Port

    Finally I see the button to create new post!
    I would like to explain a problem I have with my mac pro 2x2.93 GHZ Dual Core Intel Xeon processors and the ATI Radeon HD 4870.
    I have two 30 "Apple. After buying the new Mac Pro is one of the two monitors, only with the monitor all black, small horizontal lines.
    This happens only to the monitor connected to the mini display port... So if you reverse it monitors the problem always moves on the board connected to the Mini Display Port.
    Apple has already changed my video card and the adapter but the problem is still there.
    Someone can tell me if it is the ATI Radeon HD 4870 that has problems to have two monitors 30 "? Or it could be that the mini display port that is hard to read the two monitors and when the background is black (RGB-255-255-255) makes these lines?
    Through the Apple store I then bought a new card (EVGA GeForce GTX 285 "). Unfortunately, after three weeks of waiting is not yet arrived. Proof that I want to do before returning to telephone assistance is whether on a card that has two dual-link DVI ports normal all goes well.
    Sorry for the repetition of messages, but my English is very bad. This is the first time I connect to this site support
    Mario
    Message was edited by: marioart

    In any case, this system does not support two 30".
    I honestly don't think the 4870 with that adapter can support two 30". Just using the adapter itself would not give me the normal resolutions on my 30, where as the DVI port did. Luckily for me the adapter worked fine on my 20".
    Truly I don't know why Apple would sell a card and not say just what displays it can power.
    So I worked around my problem fine but I chose to get the 285 also. My question to you though is, did Apple make you pay for it? Was it part of a deal with them because the Radeon didn't work? You might want to talk to them about that. That is one expensive card.

  • Blue Screen and Mini Display Port Screens

    I have a Macbook Air 2011 model, it will connect fine to any Thunderbolt displays but as soon as it's plugged into a screen with the mini display port connector, the laptop will get stuck on a blue screen until it's disconnected, and as far as I know it should be compatible with both types
    Usually a PRAM reset will resolve it, but it hasn't and attempted an SMC reset plus a Firmware update, no change either
    What else can I try?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    If you experience a black screen, or otherwise have an unusable picture after changing to some resolutions, try resetting the NVRAM first.
    If you continue to experience the issue, startup the Mac in Safe Mode.  Delete the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist file and restart the Mac.
    If the problem persists you may have a bad adaptor.

  • Help me solve color and dark print issue with a new monitor recommendation!

    I know, I hate "surveys" too. I'm thinking of attacking my color and dark printing issues w\LR and CS4, by investing in a new monitor. I currently have an 20' early edition Apple Cinema Display. The monitor is the last hardware (software) item in my current upgrade cycle. From those folks who are NOT having color or print problems, what displays are you using (or would recommend)? Ah, and price is an issue. Apologies in advance to those who think this is not appropriate use of the Forum.

    Monitor calibration is the first port of call. Sometimes changing one item in a system is enough to show up a colour management issue. You suggest that the monitor is the last item in your upgrade cycle, what all have you changed? Computer, printer? There may also be a setting you have failed to set when you installed the new software, eg. have you remembered to set relative colorimetric with the black point compensation box ticked, disable colour management in your printer driver and put an appropriate colour profile for your monitor onto the new computer? You also need the correct profile for your printer/paper combination set up in Photoshop.
    If you haven't calibrated your monitor, that on its own will give you poor prints, but all the other bits are needed also.

  • X200 Display Port Issue

    Hi,
    I am new here - so I hope this is the right place to ask.
    I own a Thinkpad X200 with Ultrabase, running WIN7 with a Intel Based Graphics Accelerator ... I am pretty happy with it beside one issue. Since a while I have 2 Monitors connected  - one VGA and one on a Displayport. Both work correctly when I boot in the Ultrabase.
    Problem beginns, when I pull it out of the Ultrabase, and try to connect to Projector ... It seems like the X200 still is the opinion, that the Monitor on the displayport is still conected and it will not connect to the projector like I want it to. Other issue is, if I Bood outside the ultrabase, I have to disconecct the Display Port adapter pyhsicaly to get the both monitors working... I tried it with several adapter --- Original IBM and others - no difference. What do I do wrong? Googeling the issue did not bring anything up.
    Thanks in advance for your help and patience.

  • Can a mini DVI Display port work with a DVI to HDMI Cable?

    I just  bought  a Mini Display Port to DVI Adapter Along with DVI to HDMI Cable for my Mac. I plugged the adapter Into my Imac then I plugged DVI end of the other cable into the adapter when Plugged HDMI connection into my HD TV nothing happened.

    I'll second that, you need the > Mini DP to HDMI Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.) and a good HDMI cable.
