10.5.3 update breaks output to Sony LCD TV

After updating to 10.5.3 on my Mac Mini Core Duo, I can no longer get the Mini to display properly. I've been using my 32" Sony Bravia using the DVI-VGA adapter that came with the Mini and connecting to the TV's VGA port. I can see a small portion of the screen (Apple Menu) but it is now in black and white and all whacked out. It had been working fine for over two years. I guess I shouldn't have updated. I have been unable to use Time Machine as I don't have enough hard disk space so I can't just revert back. I'll try starting up in safe mode to see if I can get anything to display again. Looks like I'll need to reinstall Leopard.

Well, of all things, I decided to update when I could not get my iPhone firmware to update to version 2.0. I could not get iTunes to update my iPhone firmware to version 2.0 until I updated to 10.5.4. In hindsight, it was most likely due to the 3G rollout and all of the associated problems with servers and thousands of people activating at once. However, once I updated, my iPhone updated immediately.
I decided to bite the bullet and deal with the DVI-HDMI solution. I had to buy an HDMI switch, but it now works. There are a few issues using the switch, but at least I can get my Mac Mini to display on my LCD again. The screen resolution is maxed at 1280x768. ALso, because I'm using a switch, the Mini cannot determine the brand of LCD anymore and does not dsiplay Sony TV in display preferences. I would not hold my breath waiting on a fix from Apple. The Mac Mini is a low priority platform.

What are the things 10.6.8 update break?

After the 10.6.8 update I am having so many issues,
first, the %100 cpu usage of dock, disabled parallels, and now it is ok,
then, a reboot and I am unable to login, I enter my password, it begins the login process, then logs me out,
if I persist, it logs me in after a couple of tries, but each time a few of my applications are missing at random, and the environment is very very unstable, sometimes I see no desktop background, sometimes I start firefox and I am logged out again.
I've seen some people suggesting removal of login items to resolve a similar but not the same issue, so I'm inclined to think overall, there is an issue with some applications which 10.6.8 update breaks.
For starters my login items are:
GrowlHelper
Geektool
EyeTv Helper
Canon IJ Network scanner
ituneshelper
Magicprefs
Sophosuiserver
Does anyone have any problems with any of these?
I only verified the parallels desktop 6 issue up to now.

Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox? New updates break complatibility?

Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox? New updates break complatibility?

You already seem to know what the issue is, it is the parallax feature that was added to iOS 7. From your rant, it appears that your attempt to work around this was not successful. According to the Apple documents I've seen, they recommend that you enlarge your image (not reduce it). Make your image have excess space on all sides, which is not displayed on the screen. This way, when you tilt your device one direction or another, it can shift the image to give the appearance of 3D.
As a photographer, I like to use the full frame of my images, but I also know that I need to leave room around the image as well. I have some photos I have taken that I can't use because I have them cropped too tightly too, but I have others that work just fine. Just remember that part of the image file is "off screen" so that if iOS has to shift the image up it has some image that can scroll onto the screen. It needs this space on all sdes, so just make youre images larger, and keep in mind that a portion on each side will be outside the normally visible screen... If you don't like this feature, you can always go into the settigns and turn it off.

Mac OSX 10.4.8 Update Breaks Raid Striping -- System will no longer boot

Hi,
I'm a newbie from the PC world with a Mac Pro. For the last 8 hours I've been trying to get a Raid-0 configuration to work with no success.
The Raid array constructs ok and the system boots. Once that's done the Software Update screen arrives and I would select install all... then the machine would not boot. I get a Grey Shade like affect and the message to power off and restart. Powering off does nothing.
So I started again for the Nth time and added each Software Update individually. All loaded and rebooted successfully until the 10.4.8 Update.
As soon as that loads, installs and restarts the machine will not boot.
I called Apple's Tech Support and they told me they do NOT support RAID on this machine. I said what are you talking about. They put me on hold talked to a supervisor and came back with the same story. I just don't get it...
So anyone have any insight and advice on why the update breaks my Raid-0? What can I do to get over the problem (I'd like to have the RAID...)?
Thanks for the assistance.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yes, you needed an emergency boot drive anyway to repair your RAID boot drive. Just use the same one in addition to a working clone or backup of your regular system.
Apple made it easy to install or update security updates and system updates from an alternate drive (but you will have to use the stand-alone (combo preferably) updaters instead - which many use already as normal part of upgrades for years now (they seem more useful and reliable).
My preference is a dedicated boot drive with OS and apps and minimal home directory - no media files - and fast, like 10K Raptor. I use RAID for my home directory so it isn't on the boot drive for years to improve performance and keep the OS separate. Never a problem and nice mix.

BADI for updating changing output medium in PO

Hi,
 Is there any BADI or exit present for updating the output medium in PO , based upon some criteria ?
 In my requirement I want to make output medium as 'email' and set email address to email ID of one of the partner function maintained in PO.
Thanks and Regards,
Amit R

Hi
At runtime, you will get the GUID in the BADI Interface.
Incase this BADI does not help, go for another BADI
1) BBP_SEND_MEDIUM_MODE
(Determines the Default Settings for the Send Medium)
2) 'BBP_OUTPUT_CHANGE_SF'.
Here are some related links ->

The latest Java update breaks some vital applications

The latest Java update breaks some vital applications. I have reverted back to 7u45. But now, every time a java applet is used, the "later", "block", "update" window appears and stops the applet from loading. I must have this older release. Oracle does not throughly test their updates. Note: the apps the update breaks are actually Oracle apps.
I have checked the "do not ask again until next relesse" box every single time. Worthless.
Is there a way to stop Java version checks? I even have the box deselected for check for updates; ignored by OS X. I WANT CONTROL! Stop checking!
Ideas?

We are facing the same issue. We suggested all out customers not to install the updates Java 7u65 or 8u11 until there is a workaround or fix.
The wrong look & feel is causing the following problems:
- Either icons or text can be display on a button. Currently the majority of buttons are displaying an icon. Therefore the workaround is to set the text at least.
- Scroll-bars are displayed within all cells of a table column. The circumstances are not clear when these scroll-bars are displayed.

Did OS X Mavericks v10.9.4 update break bluetooth audio for anyone else?

Did OS X Mavericks v10.9.4 update break bluetooth audio for anyone else?
I have a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 duo MacMini from 2010, and I just updated to the latest OSX (10.9.4 (13E28)) and now bluetooth audio is broken.
I can pair my device (LG Tone+) to the mac, but no audio will play though it. I've rebooted the machine, reconnected the device after the update, restarted the browser, all with no results.
Typically, when I connect to the system I will get audio acknowledgements through the headset, "Power On" "Battery High" "Connected"
I still get those audio queues through the device. However when I open up a video on YouTube, or attempt to stream music on Spotify...nothing happens.
I've plugged wired headphones into the system and that works just fine. When I connect my Bluetooth headset, the audio to the wired headphones disconnects, so it seems like everything is behaving normally, except that no audio plays through the bluetooth headset.
Any ideas on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated. So, what do we think?

Try resetting the SMC.

Connecting my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to my Sony LCD TV (KDL-46XBR6) and listening to Multichannel surround sound.

Dear all,
I am attempting to connect my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to my Sony LCD TV (KDL-46XBR6) via the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI. I have successfully connected the two devices and can select "SONY TV XV" in the sound preference pane. I can see and hear what I'd like, however, I can only monitor the sound in 2 channel stereo. I have my TV connected to a Sony 7.1 audio receiver via an optical cable and can monitor 7.1 sound via other sources (Blu-ray, broadcast, etc). When I go into the Audio Midi Setup utility, I am unable to configure my speakers to be anything but 2 channel stereo. I am given the options for "2ch-16bit", "2ch-20bit", "2ch-24bit" and "Encoded Digital Audio". When I select "Encoded Digital Audio", my output automatically changes to Built-in Output. Has anyone been able to successfully resolve this issue? Thanks for all your help!

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

I have tested it with the Moshi (http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1824ZM/A/moshi-mini-dp-to-hdmi-adapter-with-a udio-support) and Belkin (http://store.apple.com/us/product/HA342ZM/A/belkin-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-adap ter) adapters, both purchased from the Apple Store with no such luck. Have you or anyone else had success with any other third-party adapters?

Pixelmapping to Sony lcd

I have a MacBook pro 13" and Sony bra via kdl-46v5100 LCD. I am connecting them via mini display > hdmi at 1080p60. The output looks terrible. The screen doesn't fill my LCD. There thick black borders. I have overscan disabled because I want 1:1 pixel mapping. My Sony LCD is set to full pixel. Some reason the MacBook pro isn't outputting correctly. It's taking the 1080p and scaling it to a lower res. Is there a solution? I tried switch ResX but the stings are too confusing.

The only thing I can see is that it operates at 120Hz and you're sending it 60Hz ?
And I assume you're using 'Mirroring' but, on a 13" MBP the maximum resolution is 1280x800 so that would explain why you're not seeing 1080 as it can't do that locally.
If you have an external keyboard and mouse try closing the MacBook Pro lid (clamshell mode) and then waking it with the keyboard or mouse, this might give you a different output (long short but could work)

Sony LCD TV stopped recognizing Thunderbolt port.

So, my Macbook Air is pretty new. Less than a year old. I was hooking the Air up to my Sony LCD TV with ease via the Thunderbolt port.
Now, for some reason, the TV stopped recognizing my signal.
When I plug the HDMI cable from thunderbolt to TV my mac flashes the blue screen (which is good, I guess), but then the TV says "unsupported signal. please check the device output."
I used to not have this problem. The arrangement tab does not open up on System preferences>displays.
I am not sure what to do.
Anyone have any ideas?

Make sure your TV is HDCP compliant as well.

MBP connected to Sony LCD 46X350A - No Signal Detected

Need help.
I've tried connecting my MBP to my Sony LCD via the VGA output (I believe that's what it is), via the cable supplied when I bought my notebook, but the message on the LCD says no signal detected.
I've went into the System Preferences, Displays and the MBP definitely recognizes that it is connected to the LCD, but I cannot get any picture (No Signal Detected Message on LCD) either by mirroring or using the LCD as an external monitor.
Any thoughts or suggestions from anyone?
Many thanks in advance.

Im having a very similar issue. I was happily using my MBP with an external Acer Display connected, until that display simply stopped working. It now only says 'No Signal' before shutting off. Zapping the PRAM and the SMC didn't get me anywhere, so I'll be taking it to the Mac Store tonight. I'll post what they'll tell me!

Connecting my Powerbook to Sony LCD

Hey guys, what do I need to plug my labtop into my sony lcd hdtv in order to watch movies?

Knucklesmac wrote:
Hello,
Depends on what input methods your Sony LCD accepts.
The easiest would be DVI to DVI or DVI to VGA. If you use VGA then your need the adapter from DVI to VGA which came with the PowerBook. If your Sony LCD support S-Video you could use that. I personally use S-Video to my HDTV however it has the input via SCART to S-Video.
The maximum external display resolutions is 2048x1536.
just checked my sony and i did see an svideo port so im all good then right? do you have a link of exactly what i need?

Lost Firwire Output to Sony Deck after Updates

I just did my software update yesterday to 10.4.4 OSX and also updated Quicktime and ProApplication Support. Today, my Sony DSR-30 is recognized as an Unknown device in the system profiler and I have remote shuttle control through FCP5, but no video/audio in or out. I have tried the following:
- Repairing permissions on HD
- Deleting QT Receipts and re-installing (x2)
- Trashing all FCP5 preferences
- Looking for new Sony driver for DSR-30 (not available)
- Attaching Sony PD-150 Camera to test Firewire I/O and IT WORKS...but when I re-attach to the DSR-30, no go.
HELP!

#30 - Deck recognition after Tiger Upgrade:
Shane's Stock Answer #30:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1063600&#1063600
The credit for this goes to Bob Sidebotham:
I was just walked through a repair procedure by an Apple Care person, and it fixed my camera recognition problems (I have a Canon XL1 and sometime after installing Tiger, then 10.4.1, various patches (including Quicktime 7.1) and the latest Desktop Video patch, I've been unable to use the camera with Final Cut Express, and attempts to capture would result in a FCE crash).
The workaround is to download Quicktime manually, after removing the "receipts" which indicate that it is loaded. Specifically, I was told to do the following:
1. Navigate to Library -> Receipts on your main drive (not from your personal folder).
2. Remove all files of the form QuickTime*.pkg, where "*" is a version number. E.g. QuickTime600.pkg, QuickTime650.pkg, Quicktime700.pkg and QuickTime701.pkg. This simply tells your system that those packages are not installed.
3. Go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/downloads and click on the "download Quicktime" link. DO NOT USE THE AUTOMATIC UPDATE UTILITY. Download QuickTimeInstallerX.dmg. Double click this file (probably on your desktop) and then invoke the installer by double clicking QuickTime701.pkg.
4. After your computer reboots, you should be able to restart FCP and see your camera.
