10.5.7 update massively broke monitor detection, remains broken in 10.6.3

I have two 17" TFT monitors (Samsung and Hyandi); one at the office, one at home. Both of them worked perfectly with my 13" Macbook using OS X from 10.5.3 through 10.5.6. As soon as the 10.5.7 upgrade was installed, both stopped working. The Hyundai can still be used with the VGA connection, which does not work with the Samsung; neither work with DVI. I have also had problems with monitor detection when giving presentations and connecting the monitor to external projectors (VGA).
I dual boot with Linux on the same machine; both monitors continue to work flawlessly there. I reinstalled OS X 10.5.3 to a Firewire disk and both return to a working state there. Immediately after installing the 10.5.8 combo update, both cease to work, and today, after upgrading (the Firewire-disk install) to 10.6.3, the problems persist.
I have seen suggestions to try SwitchResX in various similar reports, but have had no luck there since after plugging in the monitor it's never even recognized.
Upon plugging in the monitors, the main display begins to blink while it apparently tries to detect the resolution of the secondary monitor. This continues indefinitely leaving the computer useless until I disconnect the secondary monitor.
It frustrates me to no end that there is still not a fix for this problem. I assume it is not exceedingly rare since it happens with two different monitors, and it is clearly an OS problem since it works perfectly with older versions of OS X and Linux.
Has anyone found their way to the other end of this mess? At the moment it seems downgrading to 10.5.6 is the only real option, which is very frustrating since that means completely reinstalling the OS.

Hey nerowolfe,
Thanks for the info, I will try the combo update and see if it resolves my issue. I have tried rebooting all three of my machines and there is no problem with my router. As I mentioned earlier, everything worked fine with all of these machines until I ran this new update.
Yeah, I love my G5 (Last 2.0 dual core model made prior to intel models). I have a 320 GB WD Velociraptor 10K Rpm drive for my main drive and a 1TB WD as a secondary. Also, I have 10GB of Ram and upgraded the video card to a 256Mb AGP.
I have been using MACs for 4-5 years now and I just love my G5 PPC. My rendering times with Kinemac 3D and iMovie are pretty darn quick. Here is an example of an animation clip I did on my G5 for a company called SnapShotz Photobooth Rentals in Los Angeles. (SnapShotz is a photo booth rental company that services weddings, quinceanaras, bar/bat mitzvahs, corporate events, etc.) The clip was made almost entirely with Kinemac and then re-edited with iMovie.
The video clip can be viewed from:

and also on YouTube (be sure to watch the High Quality version) at:

Windows 8.1 update only hdmi monitor detected 2 dvi monitors undetected

Updated Windows 8 to 8.1 and have 3 monitors on Geforce 660ti video card. Since update only hdmi monitor detects. Have updated all video card drivers and clean installed multiple times but still same problem. Can unplug hdmi monitor and get nothing. Plug
it in and that monitor works but nothing on dvi monitors.

Hi,
Check whether the monitor is detected by the computer according to this method:
Go to control panel, then go to hardware and sound, click the display.
Then click Change display settings at the left panel, just like the picture shown as below, then click Detect.
There should be all the monitors listed, meanwhile I suggest to go to the official website of your computer motherboard producer and download and install the BIOS version accordingly.

Any help or guidance is appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The Lenovo System Update installed the "Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver 8.9.2.1002" right before the Windows Upgrade got broken. So in the Device Manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, I choose Intel ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller, on the Driver Tab, I choose the option "Roll Back Driver" and after rolling back the driver and restarting the OS, now Windows Update is working like a Champ!
The End!

Second monitor detection and resolution issue with iMac

Hi All,
long time reader here, got a lot of helpful tips, thanks to all who post!!
I have a 24" iMac, Intel based, with OSX 10.5.8.
I bought a Viewsonic 22" monitor to use along side my iMac when using CS4 and I do a lot of photography. Now the problem is that sometimes my iMac recognizes it as VA2213w and other times it see it as VGA monitor. When is sees it as the VGA monitor the resolution changes a bit, even though it has it on its highest setting 1920x1080 @60hz. My tool pallets on the screen are a bit fuzzy, readable but not the best. I'm using a mini dvi to VGA adaptor as the Viewsonic only has a VGA plug. Could this be the issue? As I have read a lot of the problems here and they seem to be all pointing to the adaptor. If so then why does my iMac sometimes see it as VA2213w monitor and then on other times as VGA. I'm doing nothing to the display other than switching on in the morning.
There doesn't seem to be any consistency! Its driving me mad. I can't seem to get it back to recognize the display as VA2213. I have clicked on detect displays etc etc.
It was working fine all week and then suddenly last night it went back to seeing it as a VGA monitor only. Any help would be appreciated. I have no cursor issues, just the resolution and monitor detection.
Regards
Fergul

Hi All,
Well the issue seems to be the cable. I had an older TFT monitor that I was using and when I bought the above viewsonic, I just simply connected it to the existing cable. It wasn't till I was about to send the monitor back for one that had a DVI connection that I decided to use the VGA cable that came with the new monitor. What can I say, there hasn't been an issue since my last post which was a few weeks ago. Even when the iMac goes to sleep and awaken, no probs. Thanks to those that posted, its appreciated!
So far so good.
Take care.

Hierarchy monitoring detected that the ConfigMgr SQL Server ports 1433,4022, are not active on Firewall exception

SMS_HIERARCHY_MANAGER reports (Message ID=3353):
"Hierarchy Monitoring detected that the ConfigMgr SQL Server <fqdn> ports 1433,4022, are not active on Firewall
exception."
This is a fresh SCCM 2012 environment with no firewall active. SQL is installed on the same server as SCCM 2012. Is there a way to fix this without enabling the firewall?

Check this out
Issue:
ConfigMgr logs the error even though Windows Firewall is disabled or it is enabled and all exceptions are added to SQL Server(s).
Environment: I had an environment consist of a two node SQL Cluster hosting ConfigMgr database and a separate ConfigMgr primary site server
Resolution:
Windows firewall service must be started on both SQL nodes and ConfigMgr itself . As soon as the service is started exceptions for TCP 1433 and 4022 must be added to SQL nodes firewall.
After that the firewall profiles can be disabled using:
netsh advf set allp state off
This is true but if you disable the firewall even thought you have opened the Firewall port then disabled the firewall. The status message will continue to be generated and your site server will still be in an error state.
Notice that I said "disabled" and not "turn off".

How Software Update Server Broke Today...

So, in an ongoing series titled "How My Software Update Server Broke On Me Today," we come to today's episode:
SU server, after working flawlessly for 4 whole days straight, will now only push ONE new update out of the THREE new ones that came out yesterday to the clients. This was after last week's episode where we had to go into the Apple.sucatalog file, rename that, move it elsewhere and pray that it started working again (which it did for four whole days).
What will our hero do this week? My first suggestion to myself--stop using software update server and end the misery and pain once and for all.

All servers may be down from time to time, either for regular maintenance or because of various other problems.

When I launch my iTune 10.6.1 , it suggests an update to 10.6.3 . But when I click to update , it fails to detect any latest version . Anyone can help ? Thanks .

Connecting a DELL monitor to a broken screen G4 powerbook

Hi
I want to connect a tft monitor to a broken screen G4. Can I do this without being able to use the computer screen to configure the settings.
......I was thinking about a std VGA connection into the mini DVI via an adaptor......but then realized it might not be the 'plug and play' simplicity I had first thought it might be.
Maybe someone has done this and had some success!
thanks
Ral

You might want to repost in the 12-inch PowerBook area instead of the 17-inch forum. My 17" has a full-size DVI port, not the mini, so finding people who've tried multiple adapters may be easier in the other forum.
Still, I believe that, as long as the computer detects the second display at startup, it should "just work."

Multiple monitor support is broken in 10.9.3 update

One of the biggest reasons I bought a 2013 Mac PRO was the advertised claim that "It supports up to three 4K displays running simultanously".
I need this kind of pixel pushing power.
I do research and development that requires having a lot of information in front of me, so I run four monitors -- two Dell 2560x1600 monitors, and two DELL 1600x1200 monitors, with appropriate adaptors to convert mini-displayport to DVI and dual-link DVI (at significant additional cost).
Up until today, it was all running beautifully and flawlessly.
Today, I updated to 10.9.3, and only two monitors come up. I tried rebooting, tried turning moitors on and off, tried unplugging and replugging in the monitors. I can get any two of the monitors to work, it just depends on which two I plug in first, and it doesn't matter which ports I plug them into. In any arrangement, it only sees the first two monitors I plug in and the last two just stay black. System Preferences only knows about those first two.
Does anyone know if it's possible to downgrade back to the previous version of the OS and how?
Or, does anyone know about a workaround?
Does Apple even care anymore?

hkruse: Thank you! Fortunately I did have a TM backup from before the update. It worked flawlessly. But I wish there had been a manual with this machine including such wonderful tidbits of info. How are we mere mortals supposed to find this stuff? Posting to this message board and sloghing through the hit-or-miss responses is wasteful and tedious. I lost most of one day and one morning because of this "update'.
It makes me wonder how many millions of person-hours are lost that could have been avoided by one or two engineers taking their job a little more serioustly, with a management staff that backs them up?
When I worked at IBM (early 1990s), I was on the QA team for AIX. We had a whole roomfull of technicians who were constantly developing, refining, running and documenting suites of regression tests on AIX and every enhancement in the pipeline. Does no one do this anymore?
I've also contributed to Linux back in the 90's and was shocked at how easy it was to get code included in that package-- one of the reasons I don't trust Linux today (I love it for a playground environment, but I'd never rely on it for serious work!)
Companies like Apple and Microsoft have a social reponsibility to make these critical systems efficient and reliable. I wish they'd spend a lot less time making things cute (the bouncing text bubbles in the IOS texting app, for instance, or the skeumorphic shifting background on IOS home screens, etc.) and spend more time and effort to make things rock solid, so they "just work". That was the reason I switched to Apple eight years ago. Not because it was pretty.
Go ahead and make it pretty, but don't stop at "it works", keep going until you're sure it won't fail. It's easy to write code that works. Harder and more important to write code that won't fail. Anyone who doesn't understand the differrence is not a seasoned coder.
Thanks for Time Machine. I'd be screwed without that. Now please give us the documentation to use it! (and the PRAM, the SMC, anything else that we ought to know about to rescure us from these premature, half-cocked updates...) Here's an idea: Print a reference manual and put it int he box with a new machine. I make educational model kits these days, and every one of my products comes with a manual. If I can do it, why can't you? A 70 page perfect-bound manual costs less than $2 to print. Seriously.
Does anyone know how to disable these App Store update reminders? I hate having to click "remind me later" then "tomorrow" every day... I won't be installing any more updates without researching them first (and what a further waste of time that will be!)
Treat us right Apple. Be responsible.
