10.5.3: Clamshell mode and 1080p display issues fixed?

Has the clamshell mode issue and 1080p display issue been fixed in 10.5.3? Are you able to shut your laptop and use 1080p on an external monitor without the **** thing freaking out?

Me and hundreds like had the issue when we upgraded to 10.5.2. It is a known but bug that when you start up the system an external display wouldn't be recognized in calibrated profiles (only at 1440x900). A work around was to start up then close the door immediately or boot up without external display connected and connect when completed booted.
I was told by support in Jan that there would be a fix in the next release (10.5.3 I presumed), but after installing it I have the same problem and the release notes don't mention it as repaired.

Silverlight (Lovefilm / Netflix) MBP 13" Early 2011, Heating and Exhaust Problems, Clamshell mode with TB Display

Hi all
I was hoping if someone can help me out...
I have a:
Mac Book Pro 13" (Early 2011) (i5, Crucial 8GB RAM, 120 OWC 6G SSD)
Apple Thunderbolt Display
I run my MBP in clamshell mode always.
Whenever i run Netflix or Lovefilm video in full screen using either Firefox, Chrome or Safari. The Silverlight plug-in is hogging the CPU.
My exhaust (CPU fan) goes crazy, its soo loud its annoying while your trying to watch a movie on your Thunderbolt Display.
Temperature reaches: 83 Celsius
Fan (Exhaust): 5620 - 6200 RPM (immediately jumps from 2001 to 5620 / 6200)
If i watch a movie full screen on my 13" MBP with my Thunderbolt display disconnected:
Temperature reaches: 81 Celsius
Fan (Exhaust): 3198 RPM (it slowly crawls up form 1998 to 3193)
Now i changed my resolution on my Thunderbolt disply to 1420x720 and it helps with the fans going crazy, they slow down slightly...
I've tried a PRAM and SMC Reset, all my firmware is up to date.
My Macbook Pro is slightly raised at the back so air can flow through the vents.
My FANS are just going crazy!! something is ridicously heating up internally in my machine causing them to go mental.
You just cannot watch a movie on netflix or lovefilm on your thunderbolt display comfortably if your fans go beyound 2800RPM.
I even installed Windows 7 on Virtual Box and tried running lovefilm / silverlight and it did not help my problem.
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP! how can i keep my fans below 2800 RPM while running silverlight?!?!

Flash like Silverlight are CPU heavy applications.
The MacBook Pro can be run in clamshell mode but only when not running extremely CPU intensive tasks
like what you are doing.
If you keep the mac book running this way for too long you might stress the materials and run into danger of getting thermal damages.
Chrome is actually in recent time getting very slow and I noticed in a comparision test that Firefox provides me up to 30 to 40% more free CPU time.
If running netflix I would suggest currently NOT using Chrome.
Windows 7 virtualized inside virtual box and then on top netflix is uhm a pretty bad idea because all those three things together are already CPU hogs.

HT3131 Operating MBP in closed clamshell mode with external display

I have a new MBP retina display. Trying to operate in a closed clamshell mode. I connect a USB keyboard and a wireless mouse. My external display is a Dell 2007FP display screen connected via a VGA adapter. Whenever I close the computer lid to operate in clamshell mode the screen goes to sleep/power save mode. Have tried various combinations of attaching keyboard and mouse first then screen, switching computer off on etc. The external display states there is "no signal coming from computer"...any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciate

Congratulations on taking one more step in becoming more self sufficient in tech stuff.
But I have to wonder why you spent so much on a Retina display only to have it cooking uselessly there.

Clamshell mode thinks internal display is running

I use my MBP with an external display. Unfortunately, it always thinks that the internal display is still running even after I detect displays. The MBP is closed and I use a USB mouse and keyboard. The pointer can easily get "lost" off the screen. I've reset and restarted but the problem always comes back.

I just open my MBP before plugging up the TB display. Then after the TB comes on, I close the MBP back into clamshell mode. Works better for me that way.
Does that work for you as well?

Clamshell mode and mouse not working on external monitor

Suddenly I notice that when I put my MBP (late model 2008, Lion) in clamshell mode, my blue tooth mouse and wireless keyboard become unresponsive
I think the MBP has frozen but its only that the mouse and keyboard do not respond.
I have to open the MBP in order for the mouse to work so I can work using the externa (Apple 24" monitor).
This just started happening.
Has anyone experienced this?
Just started happening as of yesterday March 19. I cannot think of anything new I downloaded. Rebooting did not seem to help.

My ipod is in 'recovery mode' and I tried to fix it, the process wouldn't complete and my ipod isn't working at all?? What to do?

My ipod is in 'recovery mode' and I've tried to recommended process to fix it but it won't complete the process. In the meantime, my ipod Nano is not working with my Menu screen or music, what to do about this??

Hi Newf51,
Is this an iPod Touch that is stuck in recovery mode? What happens when you try to restore it to factory settings through iTunes? If it gives an error, go through this article to try to resolve the issue Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support

IPod is stuck in recovery mode and retoring does not fix - What can?

I've installed a new computer and transfered itunes just fine but when I connected my sons iPod it stated "itunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." I've now restored it more times than I care to remember (it appears restored back to factory settings) but the same message ".... detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore..." persists and thus will not download music library. What else can be done?
Dell precision 390 Windows XP

This repetitive "ipod found in recovery mode" message is most likely caused by drive letter confusion on your computer.
In that case, you'll need to try assigning your iPod a different drive letter.
Log off of any other users on your computer.
Then, put your iPod into Disk Mode and see these steps:
1 - Don't plug in your iPod yet.
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, connect your iPod to the computer.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Here's what it should look like:
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this Support article:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting
I hope that helps you.

Mac applications have blurry/fuzzy fonts and other display issues

About two days ago my MBP display started acting funny. To start, I noticed my itunes font started going blurry. The words in Word are fuzzy as well. Other apps like firefox and safari I can read just fine. Next, I noticed this (http://i.imgur.com/Hfhq0.png) happening. When I move a window in any application the window would automatically start getting larger. Next, this (http://i.imgur.com/6ySCT.png) became an issue. Notice the white at the bottom of the box. Finally this (http://i.imgur.com/wYdUe.png) reared it ugly head in firefox. I have no idea what's going on. Other forums and google have been no help at all and you guys are my final hope. If you need any more information please let me know. Thanks in advance for saving my baby.

OK I don't use a two-button mouse but control-click brings up that window for me and it displays fine just pulling the background image as the border with no white space ...
I'd guess it's something related to the background image you're using, have you tested the effect when you go back to a plain colour or an Apple supplied background ? What format is the image you've set as background png, jpg or something unusual ?

Portrait Mode to 1080p display?

Anyone know if the mini will support a pixel for pixel portrait mode display to a 1080p consumer flat panel? The intended use is to display a website in a long format for an iPad-shaped kiosk display in a building.
There have been a handful of posts asking about portrait display, but none seem to have developed a response.
Thanks for your help!

Full screen mode and secondary display

I am using Aperture with two monitors. The primary viewer is set to 'multi', and the secondary viewer is set to 'alternate'.
When I enter full-screen mode (F), the picture is displayed on the secondary viewer and the filmstrip is displayed on the primary viewer. I want the picture to be displayed on the primary viewer (as it is of better quality). How can I achieve this?
Thanks!
Fabrice

You have to switch the primary and secondary monitors using System Preferences >Displays > Arrangement.
Drag the menu bar stripe to the monitor you want to make (temporarily) the primary. Drag it back later.
I have looked for quick way to script this through Apple script but not yet found a way to do it.

Audio and "multiple display" issues in Lion

Hi Guys
Since I installed Lion, I have the following issues:
DTS and 5.1 does not seem to be going out to my receiver. It worked with VLC and XBMC, now it only works with XBMC and no other player.
So if I try to use VLC I can move it over from the main desktop to my HD TV, but no DTS.
If I use XBMC i get full DTS but have no way of ruuning it on the HDTV because the multiple display options are gone from preferances!!!
I used to be able to turn off the 27 imac display and use the HDTV display, cant do that anymore.
Also the magic mouse now has a life of its own and jumps around for no good reason and sometimes dissapears all together.
Any help would be great. Seems to me like this "upgrade" is not much of one...
Instead of more usability, I now have way less.

Hi Andyjw
Assuming your machine has been behaving well for some time and this is just happening now suggests to me it's going to be bad news for you.
Before you take it to the repairers however, have you tried unplugging your iMac from the wall socket, waiting for, say, 10 minutes then plugging it back in again?
This is in addition to all the usual checks of course such as repairing permissions and so on.
Also, on one of your 'System' discs there should be an app called *Apple Hardware Test*. Have you tried that to see if it comes up with anything? I think you might have to boot from your System Disk to run Apple Hardware Test but I'm not certain about that.
Good Luck

Is garage band included on 10.6 OS and hdmi display issues?

Imac, 17 inch display, 2.0 GHz, 1GB ram two issues. Can I connect an hdmi second display (hidef tv) through the thunderbolt port and does garage band come with OS 10.6. Can't find garage band anyplace and the second display when plugged in to an aftermarket thunderbolt to hdmi adapter sees the hdmi display but won't mirror. I have a clean install of 10.6 and can't get past these two issues. Any help please.

Here's the issue. I can only get 3 meg d/l speed and that drops to as low as .5 meg at times. I can link my MacBook Pro to an hdmi hi def 1080 thru a Devi connector and all works fine. I run Netflix and the MacBook buffers the content so if the speed lags the show doesn't stop. I came across this iMac and was hoping to do the same thing. I bought an Apple TV 2 nd gen and it just stops and stalls due to no buffering. So that's not working. If I can connect the iMac to the larger Vizio with hdmi inputs, 1080 hi def I would allow the iMac to run my Netflix and not ruin here MacBook by letting it run continuously. I used the MacBook on a smaller 14" and the 26" Vizio with no problems. The iMac won't see either one though in sys prefs it does show the display but won't mirror. If you, for some reason, just cannot answer the question, just let me know, I appreciate all your help. I am at a loss but feel certain there is a way to do this.

Select list and hidden display issue

Hi all,
I am using a dynamic value select list, which when a button is pressed sets the value of a hidden display item. The next page then uses the hidden display item as part of an SQL query.
It strangely sometimes works and sometimes doesn't - it often struggles with the values in the select list which are over 30 characters.
Does anybody have any idea what's going on?
Many thanks,
Tom

Hi
I just re-ran the debug feature and have found an issue which could be the cause of the problem:
Som of the data items in the dynamic select list have and ampersand (&) symbol. If I run the page once the hidden item displays the value properly:
0.22: binding: ":HIDDENREGION"="HIDDENREGION" value="Tech Comms Media Utilities & Hi-tech" if I re-run the page after navigating around the application for a bit is displays this value:
0.22: binding: ":HIDDENREGION"="HIDDENREGION" value="Tech Comms Media Utilities & Hi-tech"Please notice the "& amp;" bit which has been added... Is there any way of getting rid of this? as it is interfering with the query on the next page.
Many thanks,
Tom

Stateless Release mode and the Commit issue

What are the implications of setting all the application modules to Stateless Release mode rather than Stateful?
I’ve read the documentation about this, but I need hands on expert’s opinions
Specially for a Web Application that a lot of public users will use?
We have an issue of the way commit work, if we edit a page and then navigate without saving to another page and then save at this second page, the commit will save all changes that have been done in both pages, even of the two pages are bound to two different VOs and two different Application modules, it is really strange, it seems that I need to know that the user is leaving the page so I can rollback, I do not understand this default behavior of ADF/BC ..
Any work around? Any opinions?

Hi,
the behavior is correct as it commits all pending changes. The release mode tells ADF BC how the application module is released to the pool if no longer needed by the user session. If release mode is stateful then the state of the current AM is passivated so it can be recovered. This has nothing to do with the page to page navigation.
If you want to undo changes performed on a page when navigation off the page, you call refresh(Row.DB_ROW...) on the current row

Trial mode and serial number issue with Creative Cloud

Hello,
I recently bought a CC membership but I seem to be getting the same trial mode/serial number window others have been receiving when trying to open a Creative Cloud app. I've already spoken with two Adobe techs without any resolves. I've uninstalled and reinstalled CC, I renamed an OOBE file that the tech suggested I do and looked into the Language preferences. I'm on an iMac 10.8.4.
I'm really not technically minded but to me it seems like something continues to read my original CS6 trial I had previously. I've since uninstalled it but something remains perhaps My only thoughts at this point would be to make sure I have any recent files backed up then perhaps use Time Machine and revert back to before I installed CC then try installing again OR do the trial and hope once the 30 days are up it will read my paid account.
I would really appriciate any feedback. I've used far too many excuses at work having missed deadlines due to this issue.
Thank you

Okay, I think I have it solved *fingers crossed* by following this:
Mac:
1. Please click on "Go" and navigate to /private/etc
2. Open "hosts" file and check out for any entries for Adobe.com
3. Remove the entries and save the file
4. try again launching any product from CS6
Thanks
- Nitin
I did a backup of the hosts file and labelled it "hosts-backup" and put it on my desktop, then made another copy of the hosts file (since you can't alter the original). This time I removed ALL the Adobe entries and named the file "hosts", and saved that to the desktop. I then replaced the original hosts file with the altered saved version by dragging it into the etc folder.
I started up Flash cc and it worked! I've since downloaded PS cc and it's opened as well. I just hope it continues to function...
