1.67 G4 15" display A1106 troubles

Good afternoon.
Our trusty 15" G4 Powerbook's display goes blank when we changed the display angle and when we change the position of the whole computer in our laps.
Touching the return key will restart the display at the same place it was when it went blank.
Is there a cable that get flexed everytime the display angle gets changed?
Or something else.........?
Fix options: whole display assembly (eBay?), just the cable (source?), or ...... ?
Thanks for your time!

There is a cable in the hinge which may be frayed. Take a look at http://www.ifixit.com/ and ask what repair options you may have.

Using the integrated USB hub on my Thunderbolt Display causes troubles

I just purchased a MacBook Air and a Thunderbolt Display. Unfortunately, when I connect USB plugs to the Displays buildin USB hub, I'm getting severed connections all the time (USB-Connection lost, Firewire-Connection lost, Ethernet-Connection lost...).
I really loved the idea of not having to use external USB-hubs as this only clutters my desk - but the Displays internal hub cannot be used savely (I have a couple of hard drives connected via FW and USB to the Display - this has already resulted in data loss (fortunately I had a backup).
As soon as I'm NOT using the Display's USB ports everything is fine (the Display's FireWire and Ethernet ports do not seem to cause any trouble).
Anyone else seeing this?

Plugging an additional USB hub into the integrated USB hub extends the problematic behavior even further.
If I eject a thumb drive from a USB hub that's attached to the Thunderbolt display hub (for example), it will never recognize that thumb drive again, on any of the USB ports on the display or any additional hub connected to the display, until I reboot with no added USB hub, and then reconnect an empty hub, and then add devices one at a time.
I've also noticed that while some devices drop off, some continue to show up in the system report, even when they have been properly ejected or disconnected. Refreshing the system report doesn't update with what's really going on...
Weird... So since mountain lion, I don't disconnect any USB devices from the Thunderbolt display, unless I really, truly must.

Display driver trouble

I have a Compaq Presario c700, and I am continually having problems with the screen going blank (black), recovering, going blank, recovering, then going to a blue screen. When the screen recovers, it gives me a brief message that the "display driver" has failed and recovered. When the blue screen appears (sorry, don't have the language it tells me - will add here when I see it again), the only way to get my computer back to functioning properly is to press the power button down and restart.
Can I just re-install a display driver? If so, can you recommend where I can do this for free?
HELP!

What is your exact model number? C700s all use the Intel integrated graphics so they are not prone to the same types of graphics issues as the dv6000 series. This type of issue is notoriously hard to diagnose. Since the graphics uses system memory it can be as simple as a bad stick of memory in the computer. It can also be a bad motherboard, or even a virus. Unfortunately simply loading a new driver is not likely to help much. It usually requires a reload of Windows just to take the system back to a baseline for testing. Even before that you would want to run a memory test to see if maybe it is just bad RAM. Also run a full scan in safe mode with Malwarebytes. After that I would try uninstalling the old driver from the device manager, rebooting and installing the latest chipset and video driver here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=2093&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3559...
I would also try updating the BIOS. if none of that works I would try the Windows wipe and reload and lastly I would begin to assume it is a bad motherboard.
Post back with questions and we can try to help.

I have a Macbook Pro (w/built-in camera) that I use with a cinema display (with no camera) - can I use an iSight?

I'm running 10.6.8 on a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro. The laptop has a built-in camera in the frame, but I want to do Skype and such when I've got the laptop plugged into my 23" Cinema Display. Trouble is it's an older Cinema Display, and it doesn't have a built-in camera.
If I buy an external camera (iSight or whatever), can I configure it to function as my video-conference camera when the laptop is closed and connected to the Cinema Display? If so, how?
Thanks for any answers.

Check YouTube's "How To" tutorials for what you want to do. Hopefully, it's possible.
Another thing you can do is to check with the webcam's manufacturer (the webcam you are interested in purchasing) to confirm it will do what you want.

Trouble Connecting to external protectors

I was wondering how you can connect your iBook up to a protector, because i have been having trouble doing that with my iBook G4 (1ghz). I used to own an old G3 iBook which connected to the displays without trouble but I haven't been able to connect my iBook G4 to a display yet. My computer seems to acknowledge that the display is there but the display doesn't show an image.

Using computer in closed clamshell with second display sleep issues

Hi,
I'd really appreciate someone's input here - this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3131) guides you through using a macbook pro in closed clamshell with a second display - the trouble is that my machine goes straight back to sleep within seconds of me waking it up?? - I'm using the 'allow bluetooth devices to wake this computer' setting.
Can you help?
Thank you.

Is the computer connected to power?

Share button doesnt display photo upon arrival

hey never posted here but dont seem to find it on google
so basicallly when i right click (or two finger click) on a picture and click share>email, sends fine and email arrives but picture is not displayed.
self trouble shooting= insted of rght click/share button i open up new email msg (on my email app) drag the pic and send it. this way pic shows up fine so to my conclusion its the share button but why?
aditional info- macbookair2012, recently upgraded to mavericks form moutain lion, share button used to work on mountain lion, emails have been sending to a galaxy s3 (maybe for compatibaly reasons which may not be the reasoncause its just an email with a photo but then again just in case),
looks to me just a bug
any ideas or?

Erich
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
There are two ways to share, depending on what you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. then:
Quit iPhoto in both accounts
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an *external HD* set to ignore permissions. You could also use a dmg.
In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Our vendor Captivates are now displaying "thumbnail" size in newer browsers like IE11, Chrome. Why?

Hi,
We're using some 100+ Captivate tutorials supplied by a vendor. Our user base until recently was all IE8, IE9 browsers, and the Captivates displayed without trouble. Now we have users with IE11 and Google Chrome trying to launch these Captivates (using the .htm in the launch url) and the Captivates display in tiny, unreadable thumbnail size. We've found a workaround in that we can launch the Captivate by pointing the URL at the .swf file instead, and they display normal size. But before we change 100+ URLs and bring on who know what other problems... why is this happening? Is there a browser setting we can change instead? What do we lose launching with the swf instead of the htm? Thanks!

HP pavillion 14-n232tu,H/W Parts' CT Number Mismatch Always During Replacement Case

Dear Sir/Mam.
My laptop is HP pavillion 14-n232tu, Windows 8.1
The laptop is under warranty for 3 years including one year accidental damage protection. We paid in advance for extended warranty to three years from Hp Holiday Offers.
Within 3-4 months the display started troubling and i filed a complaint at the customer care. Engineer visited and told that DISPLAY will be replaced. Instead of directly getting the display replaced i faced another problem from your side that, CT. NUMBER DIDN'T MATCH. I had to wait for two week for the resolution of the same from Bangalore office. Somehow, the case got accepted and it got changed.
Case of HARD DISK FAILURE, CT. NUMBER DIDN'T MATCH, Uninformed closing of complaint
Within 3-4 months of the previous complaint, i had to again face boot issues of the laptop. I filed the complaint, engineer visited and told that HARD DISK will be replaced. I thought this time the hard disk will get replaced without any trouble but again the problem came from your side that, CT NUMBER DIDN'T MATCH. The complaint got transferred to Bangalore office and this time it got rejected causing more trouble and UNINFORMED CLOSING of the complaint without even contacting me beforehand. And i had to file another complaint for the same issue
Case of CT number mismatch of hard disk drive, Rejected Case carry forwarded. Not resolved till date, stalled for more than 20 days and still going on.
I has been 7-8 months and already two parts are defected. Above than than i am not provided smooth flow of replacement, every case i have to wait for two weeks to get the previous part replaced. And this case it has been more than 20 days!!
There is problem with this laptop's part and regarding the database of the parts' CT NUMBERS too from your side which is causing even more problem than the defected parts. I expect you to replace my product assuring best of your service as always. Please look forward to my complaint. I have all the case Ids of the above mentioned complaints.
Thank You

@Replacement
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post ( serial numbers and case details).

Mystic Freeze

Ok so my g4 desktop contents occasional disappear very briefly while I am doing actions like seraching or attaching a file in layers of folders. Generally everything is fine after the very brief frezze occurs but you have to reopen windows to accomplish the action you were engaging in.
What is going on? Where do I start? Is my hard drive failing?

I've heard of this but am researching the cause as my memory failed me on that one (senior moment).
In the meantime, how many items do you have on your desktop? The more there are, the slower things get. There is a finite upper limit (like a couple of hundred) to the total number that can be displayed before trouble starts. It's possible that, in having multiple Finder windows open plus a lot of desktop items, you are exceeding the limit.
You don't necessarily have to trash or archive seldom-used items. You can put related items in folders to reduce the count. Example: If you have 20 items on the desktop (including drive icons), create a new folder and drag ten items to the folder, the the total count drops to 11.

Latency in read buffer CTR any remedy?

HI from Belgium!
I am currently developing a vi using circular buffer data acquisition
for a a GPCTR of a MIO card.
A part of the vi diagram can be viewed at
http://www.ulb.ac.be/polytech/laborulb/forum_exch/latency.gif
This vi is called by another one for data processing and displays.
Trouble comes with the latency of ReadBufferCTR when many counts are
requested (# revs) and pulse rate into the GATE is low.
Mouse motion is erratic which annoys me when trying to act on controls
of the calling vi.
What would be the best way to defeat this latency? Run a third-party vi
that cycles until a boolean global is modified when quitting
ReadBufferCTR or some better way to get a proper handshake. I can't see
how events, semapho
res and other tools can help me here.
Any suggestion is heartily welcome.

Do NOT use the Bytes At Port for this. Just set the number of bytes to read so something really high. The VISA Read will stop when the termination character is found.
Furthermore, I would actually just make a seperate loop that does nothing but read from the port. No VISA events needed. Just let the timeouts happen on the VISA Read if nothing is coming in.

Problem of 5800 screen comes in horizontal lines

Dear nokia team,
i have a wide spreading problem in my & similar phones nokia 5800
after i updated the firmware the screen come into horizontal lines doesn't show anything once i lock the screen and reopen the it again , the problem began when the mobile is in a room with cold temprature, when i warm it it works again,
but now the problem became more diffficult, not only in air conditioned rooms, but all the time ,
Please help me with the final solution ,
beware that my firmware version begin with 60.0... the latest one

Perhaps a reset of SMC may help it, the system management controller is a power manager of a sort and maybe if something is not seriously wrong, that could do. Yet screen resolution and other issues can be addressed by a reset of the NVRAM in a different procedure, formerly known as a PRAM reset.
However there are hardware circuits that also may be the cause of such symptom, and I'm not sure how you'd test for that. The computer shipped with a test of some sort on the original boot install disc, that could check some hardware items and try to repair the hard drive, etc. There may be display hardware troubles behind the symptoms you'd noted and if you can eliminate the software probability, then the possibility of a hardware issue may be the answer. A few parts could be user-replaced given experience and skill in doing these kinds of things, and there are guides to look into at http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac_Laptop
Read though and see if there is an indication a reset may help.
• Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573 (note PRAM reset is NVRAM w/ intel-based Mac)
• Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
• About NVRAM and PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Hopefully the a reset will help, as a troubleshooting measure or to eliminate ailments. A reset of SMC has been said to help in some cases because it also resets the power to the graphic card, so that is a possibility. And NVRAM may be another thing to try after SMC.
Good luck & happy computing!

Omni10(5600US) cannot turn on the power of the panel

Hello HP support.
Now, I'm facing one critical issue.
So, please help to resolve it.
The issue is display power trouble.
I bought Omni10(5600US) in June.
And it had operated properly until last month.
But in the last month, omni10 becomes that the power of the panel does not turn on.
At first, I doubt that it does not have enough battery power to operate.
But It did not operate correctly after charging the battery.
So, I tried some action.
And according to the reaction of Omni10, I doubt that BIOS and operating system still work but display does not work.
Because when I push power button, Omni10 is vibrated.
And also, when I touch windows mark, Omni10 is vibrated.
But I don't know how to recover the issue like that.
So, please let me know how to recover it.
Best Regards,

Hey @SmallAcorn ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the display of your Omni 10 tablet is no longer working.
If nothing is displayed on the screen try holding the power button for 8+ seconds to perform a hard reset. If the tablet still does not display anything after this please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the following link to get the support number for your region: Phone Assist Worldwide.
Thanks.

WLPI Workflow - client interaction scenarios.

Hi,
I am conducting an evaluation of Workflow products for use within our
company, one of which is Bea Process Integrator.
I would like to know in what ways WLPI allows for interaction with users
that either must handle manual tasks or provide input to a workflow's
decision making processes.
From what I have read so far WLPI provides this by direct use of the WLPI
API, out-of-the box Worklist client and via JMS XML messages.
To be more specific we are considering using a workflow product to implement
a trouble ticketing system. The following outlines a simplified process for
creating a trouble ticket.
1. User creates a trouble ticket via a web based GUI.
2. If the user specified a destination group for the trouble ticket, then
transfer ticket to that group for resolution.
3. If not, wait for the trouble ticket to be allocated to a group.
4. When the ticket has been allocated to a group, transfer ticket to that
group for resolution.
This is how I see the client -> WLPI interaction options so far :
Step 1.
The user enters information into a some HTML form, which is processed by a
Sevlet. The servlet extracts the field information and forms a XML request
message which it sends to the workflow engine via JMS ( to
com.bea.wlpi.EventQueue ).
Eg.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<action name="CreateNewTT">
<trouble-ticket>
<group>IPNOperators</group>
</trouble-ticket>
</action>
Step 2.
The 'Create and Assign TT' workflow is specified to be started when an
<action name="CreateNewTT">. XML document is received by the workflow
engine. If the group has been specified
(XPath("/action/trouble-ticket/group/text()") != "") then a 'place TT in
group' task is activated.
In the WLPI world how would the 'place TT in group' task be implemented?
A member of this group / role, must receive notification of the new trouble
ticket along with the trouble ticket information. I see a few options :
1. Simply assign the task to a user in role (which represents the group).
This will then arrive in their Worklist GUI.
Problems :
- I can't see how the worklist gui would display the trouble ticket
information to the operator.
- I would rather operators receive this notification in the same
web-based GUI they use for creating tickets
- After receiving this ticket, they could do a number of things to
it, reassign it to another group, solve it. Etc. etc. how is this modelled
within the Worklist GUI ?
2. The web-based-GUI listens to a trouble ticketing system specific JMS
queue. The task simply sends an XML message with either an ID which can be
used by the application to extract the ticket information from a DB, or with
the information itself embedded.
Problems :
- How is flexible distribution to different users / roles implemented
in this scenario? As there will probably only be one JMS queue for all
users of the system, how do we integrate this with WLPIs task allocation
model (if it has one???).
3. Use the WLPI API directly to receive notification of the event,
presumably using the same topic that the worklist client does.
Problems:
Ties the application to WLPI api directly rather than the a generic JMS
bus.. Or does it? I suppose the notification topic is just another JMS
topic, or is some other WLPI API specific functionality required.
Step 3
If the group is not specified the trouble ticket must be assigned to a
general pool of operators. One of the operators will read the
trouble-ticket information and decide which group it should be assigned to.
The group will be specified and trouble ticket added to that groups list of
pending trouble tickets.
Again, an operator needs to intervene in the workflow processing. I see the
same options as Step 2.
I hope this example makes sense !
Are there any design patterns for this style of interaction with workflows
in general?
Is there a specific style of solution that Bea recommends and is it
documented within any whitepapers or case studies?
Does anybody have any experience of implementing these types of system in
WLPI or other workflow products?
Thanks for your time,
Tim.

Hi Tim,
An additional response from within our engineering organization:
In BPM, we have an action, assign task to role that will allow any user
within
that role to see the task and execute it. We also have an action, 'assign
task
to user in role' which picks the least loaded person in the role and assigns
the
task specifically to that user.

Trouble with 30" HD Cinema Display using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter

I bought a new MacBook Pro and I am having trouble getting the full resolution to work with my 30" HD Cinema Display (purchased in 2007 max resolution 2560 x 1600) using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter.
According to the specs page, http://support.apple.com/kb/SP581 , the max resolution of the HD external display is supported. Unfortunately the max that I can set it to is: 1280 x 800
Has anyone else had the same issue?
If this isn't resolved I'm likely going to exchange my MacBook Pro for one that can support this display.

So I went and bought the Mini DisplayPort To Dual-Link DVI Adapter as suggested and it seems to work great.
Now the problem that I have is when I open up Apple's DVD player, the screen is blank but I can still hear audio.
If I unplug the display, the movie will display properly. Rebooting with the display plugged in doesn't help either. I also deleted all the DVD players enc setting files so that they would re-initialize but no luck.
Any idea what this problem might be??
