10.5.7 messed up up my samsung t220hd resoulution

I have a Macbook and have been using the samsung T220Hd monitor. I just recently updated to 10.5.7 and my video looks horrible on my external monitor.
any suggestions?

Me too! I've been trying to fix it all day long and I've just realised the point where the resolution has gone all wrong is when I upgraded to 10.5.7.
My mac mini is connected to a 32" LG HDTV via HDMI. It worked fine for years until this update I'm really unhappy about it because I don't have any choice but to keep it in a very low (ugly) resolution.
The best result I can get is 800x600 with either the top or bottom of the screen cropped completely off
Sort it out Apple!

I cannot get a signal from my MacBook Pro to a Samsung T220HD using an HDMI cable

I was in the Apple store to see how to improve the resolution on my Samsung T220HD, which I had connected to my MacBook Pro using the PC cable and an Mini DisplayPort adaptor. The staff recommended I buy a Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable instead. I've plugged the new cable in, and the Samsung display reads "Check signal cable".
I don't have another cable to test it; am I doing something wrong?

Mini Dis[playPort cables have a lot of contacts, and require a lot of force to seat properly. Push until all the metal part of the plug disappears into the jack.

Mac Mini To Samsung T220HD Monitor

Hi
I would like some help setting up My Samsung 24" T220HD Monitor to a Mac Mini
What Audio Cable's and Video Cables will i Need?
Thanks

I would take a look in the Apple Store under "Cables".
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shopmac/macaccessories/cables?mco=MTI2MjY
I use the DVI to HDMI cable for the video signal. If your Monitor has HDMI connection, then that is what I would use.

For the audio, you could use several different cables.
1. http://store.apple.com/us/product/TN983LL/A?fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/cables&mco=Njg1OTM1
2. Same as above but cheaper at Wal-Mart etc...
3. If your Monitor has Audio Optical "IN".

Mini displayport not working for DVI (VGA works)

So I've just received my new MacBook Pro, I ordered it with a mini displayport to DVI dongle.
When I plug this in to my known good DVI monitor, nothing happens no video is sent to the display and the preferences do not show anything.
However when I connect using a displayport to VGA to a VGA monitor it works. I know the displayport adapter is good as I have it working on my 27" iMac.
Could this new MacBook Pro be faulty??
Cheers,
---Guy

Hey. I think there's a big problem with the mini displayport - DVI signal. I have a samsung T220HD monitor which worked fine with my old Macbook. I upgraded to a MBP 15" and I find the same monitor just has dead signal. Aside from the MBP itself, the differences are Snow Leopard and the mini displayport adaptor. I too ordered the adaptor with the MBP but on finding this and reading so many problems on discussions I opted to buy a mini displayport - HDMI adaptor made by NEET - which solved the problem.
However, some wierd things happen when playing games. Resolution (which is otherwise fine) goes dark and displays ugly artifacts. This never happened with the same monitor on a DVI signal using the mini DVI - DVI. I'm guessing either all this is a Snow L prob or a mini displayport thing.
It looks like a recent OS update (10.6.2) was supposed to fix DVI issues but apparently not for me. Apple really really need to sort this out.

Macbook and T220HD (22 display). 1680x1050 doesnt work anymore !

Hi! I have a macbook with a 22 inches external display (samsung t220hd). It was working fine for 9 months but i have a problem now... Last week i get my adapter (minidvi to vga) to other display to see a movie... but when i plugged it again at home... it doesnt worked fine.
The macbook doesnt detect the screen like "syncmaster", now it says "Screen" and i cant choose the optimal mode in resolution menu (1680x1050). I fully erased the hd and reinstalled OSX and nothing...
I have the minidvi to dvi too, but it doesnt work in the dvi port or the hdmi port.
Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot !

Maybe. Could be the heads bouncing against the platters - could be the optical drive. Best to take your machine to your local Apple Store and have them diagnose the problem. They can tell you if your data is salvageable.
In the future - make certain that you have one, if not more, backups - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3045.

Transfer contacts from samsung to iphone5 - what a mess

Hi,
I had a Samsung Stratosphere until I purchased the iphone5.
Immediately after the purchase, the technician transferred my contacts to my new phone. During the transfer my contacts seem to have come apart. For example, now my contact lists is a combination of names and emails. Often I don’t know who to pair the email with.

Another thing that has happened, but not with every contact is this: before the transfer I had one contact with this info - first name, last name, work phone, home phone, email address 1, email address 2. After the transfer, the first and last names appear repeatedly in the list of contacts and each entry has either the work phone or the home phone or the email address 1 or the email address 2.
I can select EDIT and “link contacts” but in some cases I have 6 or more that need to be linked with one name.
This is so confusing. I hope I explained it in a way that can be understood. Also, I went back to the technician and was told this happens with every transfer between iphone and another brand and it is unavoidable.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
YiaYia

That's nonesense.
The contacts on your Samsung may have been backed up to your Gmail account. If so, the easiest way to to this would be to simply add your Gmail acocunt to your iPhone and sync then that way. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Add New Account.

Have been a Verizon customer since I got my first cell phone in my 30's - I am 50 now! A year ago, I stupidly opted to get a new phone on the EDGE program because I was trying my first Samsung device and was not sure I would like it having been an IPhone

have been a Verizon customer since I got my first cell phone in my 30's - I am 50 now! A year ago, I stupidly opted to get a new phone on the EDGE program because I was trying my first Samsung device and was not sure I would like it having been an IPhone user for years.I was right! Or so I thought.... The Note 3 has been horrible. I am on my second phone(replaced it under warranty) and it still freezes, shuts off on its own, and will not come back on for long periods of time. Having had enough, I decided to EDGE Up to another device. On March 16th I tried to edge up my device online but was unable to. I immediately called to figure out what the problem was. Back in October I had a mix up in my billing where I had set up a payment. It was not done properly by customer service and as a result my line was cut off. I called the EXACT day it went off, filed a complaint about the lack of follow through for my arranged payment, and thought I had it straightened out as the payment was made that same day. That incident, although it was a Verizon error, caused my Edge Contract to be "hotlined". I spent an hour on the phone on March 16th clearing the whole mess up. When the conversation ended, the Verizon representative admitted it was a Verizon error, documented everything, and then told me she was filing a release for the hotline hold that would take a couple of days. Her name was Linda and I stupidly trusted what she said.
The days passed as I prepared to have a major foot surgery and to get my classroom straight before I would be out recovering for 3 weeks. All the time, my Samsung continued to glitch out like it has since I got it! While sitting on the couch recovering, I decided to deal with the phone issue again and EDGE UP. I figured 10 days latter, Linda would have taken care of the issue. Unfortunately, I faced the same problem and was told it was not eligible to edge up at this time. BACK on the phone again, 2 supervisors, 3 customer service reps. ( JOE from New York being the rudest customer service rep. I have EVER worked with) and 4 frustrating HOURS latter, Jason, the equally rude supervisor from Rochester, New York, informed me that Linda gave me BAD information, there was NOTHING he could do, and I am NOT eligible until April 14th!!!!! The WORST experience I have EVER had with a company. They were completely inept, rude, and not concerned about my time, my frustration, or the problems I was facing with their product in the LEAST. I have 4 LINES on Verizon that I am going to talk to Sprint about buying out. It was a horrible experience, and I can NOT believe I have no recourse or anyone to talk to....

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

Why do I constantly have to restart my phone daily since the 4.3 update and why are there zero answers or help from Verizon or Samsung?

Ever since the 4.3 update, which I waited until end of January 2014 to download, My phone has been messed up. Some of the problems I solved on my own since Verizon and Samsung both refused to help me. I fixed the charging problem by using an HTC Incredible charger since Samsung's charger is garbage since the update. Battery drain is also a constant issue. Ram is ALWAYS full which should be a good thing but clearing it out completely and killing off all Google apps seems to make my phone all of a sudden fly and work super fast. As the day goes on I am unable to clear all of these unwanted items from being open and bogging down my phone. Most of the apps doing this are the preloaded ones you don't need. I am forced to restart my phone to get the memory cleared at least 2-4 times a day. Verizon tells me this is normal. Samsung hangs up on me when I call. Why do I have to restart this phone just to get it to work like it should after a few hours of being on? Does Verizon care about customers or just money?

@Verizon Wireless Customer Support. I have the 4.3 version that I got with the awful update. I waited until the end of January to download it and guess what was never fixed? Your update. Its been months and battery drain is not better at all. I have replaced with a new battery and it was the same problem. I have used safe mode numerous times and it does not do anything either other than annoy me some more. I have done a factory reset on my phone since the update I downloaded in January 47 times so far. It didn't do anything but erase everything and I had to start all over. Google apps are a major reason my phone is lagging. Once I force stop them the phone has incredible speed, when the Google apps are on, the phone lags. The internet browser is also super slow. 56k dial up has faster speeds than my mobile browser and I have full 4g lte bars. Its beyond annoying because when ever I call Verizon customer service I am told nothing is wrong. If I break the phone into a million pieces you would still tell me its working properly. This problem persists on a daily basis. I now restart my phone 4 to 6 times daily. I am starting to wonder why the quality of your company is getting worse and worse? I have been around with Verizon wireless since early 2000 when you first merged with Vodafone, but in the past 4 years things have changed dramatically and I have stopped feeling appreciated like Verizon once made me feel

Am I the only S5 owner who has ALREADY has the USB cover break off with regular use, AND have Verizon and Samsung say it is damage and NOT a mfg. defect?

I bought the S5 less than two months ago through Verizon, not Amazon. One of the selling points is that the phone is water and dust resistant. The USB port comes with a little flap plug attached to the phone by a rubber or plastic pin. To charge the phone, this plug is pulled aside, then replaced after charging. In less than two months, the plug attachment broke. Calls to Verizon resulted in the following: They told me I needed to contact Samsung directly. I told them that I did not buy the phone from Samsung. They agreed to call Samsung directly while I was on hold. When they came back on, they told that Samsung said that this problem was phone damage and not manufacturer defect. The fix would be done at my cost. Verizon said that they would change me $300 if I sent the phone back to them.
I don't believe this dust cover is critical to the enjoyment of the phone, but it is discouraging to think that Samsung should sell a phone for $600 with such a manufacturer defect, and that Verizon refused to go to bat for a customer.

Did you look at your own link? It's not available yet. I don't know how to state that more clearly. If it was available, I would have said, "I was also concerned about that flimsy cover breaking off so I purchased a Samsung QI charging cover for my phone. That way I don't have to mess with the USB port cover." But it's not available yet so I said I'm impatiently waiting for it to be released.
And before you get all excited and tell me how stupid I am, most of the items on your link are for the S3, S4, and Note 3. Those are entirely different phones. The only S5-specific QI products available now are 3rd party units that are held in place with tape and look pretty hokey.

How do I make my workhorse Samsung ML-1740 printer work with Yosemite 10.10.3?

How do I make my workhorse Samsung ML-1740 printer work with Yosemite 10.10.3?

Are any other Samsung printers affected? Or is this a specific ML-1915 problem?
(I still can print on a shared ML-1640 printer at home.)
I hope Apple is also reading these forums: As said before: This started with the OS X update!
Then in between there were Samsung printer updates issued by Apple via the softwareupdated function.
They also didn´t solve the problem.
I also tried removing the printer and adding/setting it up again. (as suggested in the Apple support pages).
Even installing the original driver that came on CD. That didn´t help either.
Logic still tells me that this is an Apple / OS X caused problem. Please fix it!!!
I have no intention to buy a new printer just because Apple might have messed up with their updates.
The printer was working perfectly fine and it just got a fresh toner.

MSI GT70 0NC 494 - Samsung 840 Evo Problem

I recently brought a Samsung 840 Evo 500GB to replace the WD Black HDD on my MSI GT70-0NC-494 laptop. OS is Windows 8. Im going type out pretty much how I ended up to where I am right now in hopes that maybe someone could catch where I went wrong.
So here's the story:
The cloning process went smoothly and I was able to load the OS from the SSD without any problems. Then I immediately updated the firmware and I set the optimizations using the Magician software.
I ran CrystalDiskMark and had speeds around ~300MB for both read and writes on the sequential test. Thought that my speeds were kind of slow when comparing them to the others I've seen. AHCI is on. I know my laptop has a SATA 2 and SATA 3 slot but I did plug the SSD in the SATA 3. SATA 3 connection is confirmed through Intel RST application and Samsung Magician. The speed is just not around the ballpark of what everyone is getting.
Ok, let's see the speeds with Rapid Mode so I turned on Rapid Mode and restarted. Then I get a "Start PXE over IPv6/4" message which then leads to the BIOS screen. Turn off laptop, turn it on, and get the same message. Turn off laptop again, turn it on, and the OS loads this time.
I thought that was weird but whatever I got to the OS, I thought. Open up Task Manager to see how Rapid Mode affects my RAM capacity since my regular usage already puts me ~1.5GB below max. 1.9GB shows up on RAM. Thought I'd be starting closer to 3GB. Then again, Im not entirely sure on how Rapid Mode works so whatever. Run the benchmark test through Magician software.
(This pic was from after I reinstalled Win 8 but the performance drop was similar)
Ok, , the read speeds is now garbage. Did the test on CrystalDiskMark and it shows similar results. It was late at night and Im feeling tired so I keep my laptop idle overnight to see if that would help. Nope, read speeds are still garbage. Surprisingly enough, CrystalDiskMark would show write speeds for sequential hitting ~1000MB/s so it seems that the write process is somewhat fine. The read process seems like it's broken.
So I turn off Rapid Mode and see if that fixes my read speeds. Restart. Get BSOD on startup. Turned laptop on and off multiple times to see if anything works but no avail. Thankfully I created a set of recovery disks 2 days ago so I immediately run that now. I was planning to restore the OS to factory install anyways so its fine.
OS is restored. At this point Im scared of installing the Samsung Magician software so I make a restore point. This time I want to see what happens if I install the software and run Rapid Mode through Win 8.1.
Seems like I can't just upgrade to 8.1 without installing a bunch of updates first so I do that. I got impatient so I went ahead and installed Magician and did the optimizations. CrystalDiskMark showed ~300MB/s for read and ~400MB/s for write. Ran the Magician benchmark and it produced the light blue bars on the screenshot above.
Let's try Rapid Mode now. Turn Rapid Mode on, restart, and I am again greeted with the "Start PXE over IPv6/4" message before hitting the BIOS. Now Im telling myself that I messed up again. Turned off the laptop and turned it on. OS is back. Awesome, only 1 try.
Did benchmarks on Magician which again showed that my read speeds were garbage (dark blue bars). I'm not even going to touch Rapid Mode for fear of having to reinstall the OS again. So now Im trying to upgrade to Win 8.1 and see if that fixes something.
Download 8.1, restart, I get some BSOD message with the code "0xC1900101 - 0X20017", restart through BIOS, and I get an error saying that 8.1 failed and Im being reverted to 8. Desktop loads up, I check Magician and my 840 Evo doesnt even appear on the drop down list. The software even says Rapid Mode is disabled even though I can see the Rapid Mode service through task manager.
Now Im just running tests, and restarting the laptop to install additional Windows updates. Upgrade to Windows 8.1 actually went through this time. After the update, Magician now says that Rapid Mode is on and my SSD again appears to be selectable. Read speeds seems to have gotten a *tiny bit* better but it is still extremely low.
Decided to say screw it, disabled Rapid Mode, restarted, again with the "Start PXE over IPv6/4". Turn off laptop, turn on, surprisingly no BSOD saying my system is forever broken. Now Im trying to see if I could salvage the performance back through messing with the settings so I followed most of the advice on another website.
Now it seems that the write speed is consistently good, but again the read speeds are absolutely horrid. I used AS-SSD for the benchmark instead of CrystalDiskMark this time.
And that is where I am right now. I am very sorry that the post is ridiculously long. I've been constantly looking around the internets to see if anyone has the same problem as me and I couldnt find a solution. I wanted to somewhat be detailed with my process so I can know whether this problem is the software or the MSI hardware. Or if the problem is with my specific SSD and that I'd have to RMA it.

How did you go about installing Windows?
It looks like the first time you used some software that ended up cloning it from the HDD to the SSD. That's a no-no in general, and I'd never trust it to work well.
Then the next time, you say you restored it. But you don't say if that was from the SSD/HDD or from recovery media that you had generated.
I'll be perfectly honest, I'd only trust installing from Recovery media when it comes to installing a new drive.
I'd say to do that. Install from Recovery media and see if that fixes the problem.
I will also say that a number of users have had issues with the Samsung 840 drives. Most of them were using the Samsung 840 Pro drives, not the EVO's, but just something to keep in mind. They were only able to get them to operate at SATA2 speeds.

I have an external display, but the screen ratio is messed up in games.

I've got:
- A new MacBook Pro 15" with Lion (a month old maybe), it's the 2.2 GHz one (with 8 GB RAM)
- A Samsung Syncmaster BX2235 screen, working at a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels
- A VGA connector to plug the Syncmaster in to the laptop.
My problem:
When I normally use my laptop with my external display in Lion it supports 1920x1080 without a problem (see photo 1), when I watch a movie in full screen too, but as soon as I start up a game (any game: WoW, TF2, Worms, etc) in full screen and I set the resolution to 1920x1080 it'll mess up the screen (see photo 2). I'm not sure if you see it at first glimpse but there are black bars at both the left and the right side of the screen, the left one is bigger than the right one.
Anyway in WoW there is a function that you can run the game in Windowed but still Full Screen. When I do that I can access the top OSX bar (the one with the clock), and click on the display icon. It now shows there are 2 versions of 1920x1080 @ 60Hz (see photo 3). If I click the one that isn't checked, it'll fix the screen and I can view the game on this display exactly the way I want it.
I had an older MacBook Pro (from 2009, 15", 2.8GHz Dual Core) running Snow Leopard, I played some of the same games on that and I NEVER had problems with this screen. I gave it to my sis so I tested it again and there are still no problems.
Now naturally my question is: what is the problem and how can I fix it?

Samsung SSD in Macbook Pro, slow boot.

So I bought an 256GB Samsung 830 SSD for my Macbook Pro (mid 2009 2.66Ghz 15"). Anyway, I installed it tonight and I've been having a lot of problems with it as an internal drive. I had been using a 750GB WD Black for a long time and it's worked great. So first, I put the SSD in the Internal, and put the Mountain Lion Install USB in, and it would never install. I could format the drive using the USB Disk, but I couldn't install it. I kept getting an error about downloading extra components. Well I put it in an External Firewire enclosure and put the WD back in the computer, and ran the ML installer from inside Mountain Lion. Lo and behold, from Firewire, it boots up very fast and everything. So once it was all installed and setup using the external, I put the SSD inside the computer. Now, it takes about 2 minutes on the Apple screen, then I get a cursor for a few seconds, then no Apple, and a spinning grey pinwheel that never goes away. The WD HDD has been working beautifully the past year and given the SSD works great externally, i'm not sure what the deal is. I've reset the NVRAM, and SMC. So when I boot from my WD HDD in the External, it boots fine. So I went to System Prefs and tried to set the SSD as the startup disk. It won't let me, says something about the Bless tool. Any thoughts as to what is going on? I hope the SSD isn't bad, but since it works great outside the computer but not in, i'm wondering what's going on.
Thanks!

Also some more background: When I got the 750 WD over a year ago (about a year and a half) my computer got all sorts of freezes. Well I narrowed it down to the 1.7 Firmware. So I downgraded to the 1.6 Firmware and it fixed my problem. So I was running the 1.6 Firmware until this July, when I had to take my computer to get the Logic Board replaced (Well, screen was first but the Geniuses messed up, so they had to put a new logic board in) and the firmware is now 1.7, but I haven't had any problems with the drive since. That goes for Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion. So old logic board wouldn't work with 1.7, new logic board did. I'm wondering if it is the firmware giving me fits, because if so i'll just send the drive back because there's no use running at 1.5Gbps when the drive is capable of far beyond that.

Connecting 2011 MBP to HDTV (Samsung)

Hi all.
New to the Apple community and Apple computers, but I just recently bought a 2011 13.3" MBP. Since we are a cable-less household, we watch lots of programs through the XBox 360 (Netflix, Hulu) and through our computers. Today, my order from Monoprice.com arrived including a display port to HDMI adapter and a new 1.4 HDMI cable.
I was able to get video out of my MBP to my Samsung PN43D450, but no audio. I've read that in the past, you've had to use 2 cables to get audio from the MBP to an HDTV, but this has supposedly changed. Additionally, the only way I could get the HDTV to act as a display was to mirror my display to the second monitor (HDTV) and play with the resolution settings. Is there an easier way to set this up so that I don't have to mess with any setting when I connect my MBP to my TV? Also, can anyone confirm that I should be able to transmit audio through the display port to HDMI connection?
Thanks for the help.

The new MacBook Pros supports Audio via MiniDisplay Port to HDMI. Be sure the adapter you're using is supporting the audio. Have a look in System Preferences -> Sound -> Output if it show's the HDMI connection as an output device.
