2560 x 1400 supported?

I'm considering buying the new Dell 27" display which is 2560 x 1400 (same as the 27" iMac). Does anyone know for sure if the MBP 13" (mid 2009) will fully support that resolution?
Thanks!
Paul

Yes your MacBook Pro 13" (mid 2009) will support that resolution on an external display.
"Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors"
I found that quote from the official specs here: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP541
The next question for you though is how will you connect your MBP to the Dell 27" display??? This is really the question. You'll need to connect either via DisplayPort, assuming the Dell 27" has a DisplayPort input or a Dual-Link DVI input.
Apple sells the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, but it's had mixed reviews. On the other hand monoprice.com sells a DisplayPort Male to Mini DisplayPort Male 32AWG Cable that you could possibly use. I don't have any experience personally with either (looking for advice myself), but I'm looking at going the DisplayPort route with a Dell 3008WFP monitor.
HTH,

Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D Dual Cable/Adapter for mid-2010 iMac?

Hi . . .
Sorry to pester with a question that's been covered from various angles before, but I'm new to the Mac world. Am a musician in BC, Canada doing a project remotely with people in Ontario. Decided to ditch my PC-based recording rig and went with a 2010 iMac and Logic Pro X (hallelujah!) because the other people are using Logic Pro X. So . . . I'm just learning the ropes.
Anyway . . . I have a spare monitor I want to run in dual setup extended desktop, and I'm not 100% certain of the cable and/or adapter I'll need. I'm also not sure why the adapters are bigger and seem to contain more internal components, whereas the cables just look like a simple "Plug 1" connected to "Plug 2" cable in a variety of lengths (in the same way you'd have a XLR to 1/4" phono cable).
Here's the info on my system, and any help would be greatly appreciated (will a cable suffice or do I need an separate adapter, DVI type, etc).
My iMac (mid-2010 21" Core i3 with Firewire running Moutain Lion 10.8.5):
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-i3-3.06-21-inch-alumi num-mid-2010-specs.html
My monitor I want use as an extended desktop (Acer 22" X223W LCD):
http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/acer-x223w-lcd-monitor/4507-3174_7-32627876 .html
So, it appears I'll need a male Mini DisplayPort to a male DVI-D Dual adapter and/or cable. Do I need to specifically buy a DVI-D Dual cable? Will a simple cable function properly or do I also need an adapter? I'm pretty sure a DVI-I cable won't work because it would have extra pins that aren't present in the DVI-D.
Thanks again . . . the assistance is appreciated.

You are overthinking this.
"DVI dual link support" is concerned about the resolution of the display, not the number of displays.   A dual-link adapter or cable basically has double the number of wires to carry extra data to support higher resolutions than a single-link cable. Of course, both the computer and the external display must also support the higher resolutions in order to take advantage of the capabilities of dual-link.
You want to use two displays ... your iMac's buit-in display + your Acer display as a second monitor (what you called "dual monitors"). You can do this, as I explained earlier.
Your Acer monitor's maxiumum resolution of 1680 x 1050 is not high enough to require a dual-link connection.
"In single-link mode, the maximum pixel clock frequency is 165 MHz that supports a maximum resolution of 2.75 megapixels (including blanking interval) at 60 Hz refresh. For practical purposes, this allows a maximum 16:9 screen resolution of 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz (1915 × 1436 at a 4:3 ratio).
To support higher-resolution display devices, the DVI specification contains a provision for dual link. Dual-link DVI doubles the number of TMDS pairs, effectively doubling the video bandwidth. As a result, higher resolutions up to 2560 × 1600 are supported at 60 Hz [via dual-link DVI]."   (See Digital Visual Interface, Wikipedia)
You can connect almost any VGA, DVI or HDMI display to your iMac, using the appropriate cable and/or adapter. Of course, you always have to make sure that your cable has the correct gender plug on each end.   The Apple adapter I recommended has a female connector, so you will need a cable with a male DVI-D plug on one end. As for the other end of the cable, check the input on your Acer display to see what it has and select a cable that has an appropriate gender connector on the end that will plug into your Acer monitor.
In extended desktop mode, you can set separate (independent) resolutions for your iMac display and your external Acer display, taking advantage of the maximum resolution of each.   (For example, that's why the MacBookPro example you cited works, it's because that model MacBook Pro can support higher resolutions on an external display than it's built-in LCD panel can.)

More than one external screen

Hello, I'm an owner of Macbook Pro (2.5GHz) i have an external screen plugged in by DVI on my macbook, I'm wandering if i can plugin another one display into my mac, i really would like to have my mac in the middle and one screen on the left and one on the right, it would be very helpful for my work.

I thought the new macbookpro (late 2008) offers dual-link DVI. from my understanding that would allow two separate screens (DVI of course) to be connected. I am planning to purchase my Mini DisplayPort to dual link DVI but I have no idea if it will work the way I imagine it to be. I have 2x 19" Dell 1908FP that has a combined dimension of 2560x1024pixels. The maximum resolution as listed on the tech specs of the Macbook pro list it as 2560 by 1600 supported by the Dual-link DVI. Remember that Dual Link DVI Adapter and the single DVI adapter are two separate products!

IPhoto 8 calendar printing

Last year, I ordered my wife a calendar using photos that I uploaded to Flickr. This year, I'd like to use iPhoto and print them myself using my Epson 1400. Does anyone have any advice as to what paper to use? The photos are old, some 50 years or more, so photo quality is not as important as a good paper that she can write appointments on and such. Has anyone tried a heavy card stock?
I have an calendar created and saved to pdf in the larger 13x10.4 size. I just need to choose a type of paper that will allow printing on both sides and not allow the photos to saturate through.
TIA.

Since there are no printers that support borderless 13 x 10.4 you may have to resort to using a image editor that can handle layers to print your photos using an 11 x 14 canvas. See Old Toad's Tutorial #8 and #8a for how that would work for a greeting card. The process would be the same for a calendar. You would have a jpg image file for each page of the calendar and can print them one at a time.
Better yet since the Epson 1400 supports borderless 11 x 14 and the calendar is very close to that size, you could print an 11 x 14 calendar with little loss of resolution. In fact you can modify the Save to iPhoto Automator script to give you 300 dip jpg files for each page of the calendar instead of the default 200 dpi.
As far as paper I would go to a place like Kinkos that prints calendars and see what stock they use and/or recommend.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Macbook Pro Retina HDMI Does Not Support 2560 x 1080

I have both the early and late 2013 rMBP 15 inch but it seems like the early 2013 does not support my Dell U2913WM at maximum resolution of 2560 x 1080 for some reason on HDMI. Are the HDMI ports any different between the two? I'm tried using SwitchResX, but at 2560 x 1080, I can only go up to 53 Hz before it says invalid configuation on the early 2013 rMBP. On the late 2013 rMBP, it can output 2560 x 1080 at 60 Hz fine. It would seem like both graphics cards are more than capable of pushing this resolution, and if I connect through Displayport, they're both fine too. I was hoping to use HDMI though to free up a Thunderbolt port. Why are the HDMI ports not outputting at the same capabilities?

Absolutely, I understand that but I'm wondering if or why Apple has limited the HDMI port on the early 2013 rMBP. HDMI 1.4 should be more than capable at outputting up to 4k resolution, so it would seem like Apple is intentially limiting the early 2013 rMBP to HDMI 1.2? At least one post from as early as 2012 seems to suggest that installing Windows on a rMBP allows higher outputs. I thought Mavericks included support for HDMI 1.4 (http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?101431-10-9-Mavericks-4K-working-tes ting-it-now) but did they not extend it down to the early 2013 rMBP? Seems like it would be able to support it, no?
Perhaps the better question is whether anyone has been able to output anything at over 1080P on anything other than the latest rMBP after upgrading to Mavericks?
From the earlier discussion:
"The port definitely supports it, but OS X is another story. If I boot into Windows and connect it to a display capable of displaying 2560x1440 over HDMI, it just works. If I'm in OSX, it refuses to allow anything over 1920x1200. Even if I try to force the resolution with SwitchResX, it doesn't work. If I create a custom resolution with a 40Hz refresh rate instead of 60Hz, then it does actually work. 2560x1440 @ 40Hz fits within the bandwidth constraints of a single link at 165MHz. So it appears that OSX limits the port to 1.2 frequencies. I'm not realy sure why -- HDMI 1.4 should allow for frequencies upto 340MHz, and the hardware is clearly capable based on Windows."
Now that Mavericks supports higher than 1080P over HDMI at least on the latest rMBP, did they just not extend that support to earlier rMBP's even though the hardware is capable of it?

2560*1400 60HZ monitor (LG 27EA83R-D) not working

Hi,
I just bought a LG 27''monitor to get an external 27'' screen for my new MacBook pro 15'' (late 2013) model. I run 10.9.2 OSX.
My problem - the screen only seem to accept 60HZ for 2560*1440 resolution, and the Macbook Pro only can support output 30HZ (?). So - the 2560*1440 is not even visible as an alternative, I can run max 1920*1200. Tried Display-cable, HDMI and DVI, none works.
Is there ANY way to solve this without having to throw away my new monitor?

Need full model number and Intel HD version (4000, 4600?) and which port you are using. Generally HDMI output is capped at full HD; 1920 x 1080.

Looking for a mobo that supports PIII 1400 pentium or celeron

idoes anybody now of a MSI socket 370 motherboard that supports a PIII 1400 petium or celeron cpu. just aquired one of each through a little buying and saling. with some horse trading to. just found out my Pro266 Master doesn't support them.

Quote from: Richard on 13-December-06, 08:13:06
k,
Just use the CPU as a keychain and get a new Socket 939 nForce4 Mobo.
The price for an Athlon64 is minimal and will give you greater performance.
Take Care,
Richard
well if that were the case you should take your own advise and go out and get a new Intel core duo extreme put your Athlon64 on a keychain and use your nforce mobo as a tire block.
but really I've already got a MSI K8T Neo-FSR FIS2R althon64 socket 754 it may not be the newest or the fastest but it works. I also have almost everything from a couple of functioning 486's, but torn down, on up. a couple of still running socket 7's, acouple of slot A's a possible dead slot 1 on the way back burner to see if its possible to revive. a few socket 370's that I just replaced a bunch of caps on a bingo they booted right into the bios,(and the guy said they were totally dead for parts only)(horse trading stock now after a few more runs o make sure they stay stable ). might keep they Pro266 master though as it supports ddr mem surprised it didn't take the PIII 1400 but it booted with a 1100 celeron but I think its a coppermine cpu and not a tualatin model kind of a big bummer for such a nice board. the MSI cpu support web page list no support for tualatins at bios version 1.3 I think. I've also got several socket A's and three P4 rigs one needs a new bios chipthen becomes horse trading stock might keep one of the other two.
amazing how much you can collect over the years in search of a faster gaming machine and doing repairs, bios flashes, mods for people. and horse trading. after a while you just got to slow down and wait a while. now I could run out and buy a new mobo cpu duel core version ect. but wait directX 10 coming out now or after christmas right might have to get that card too. but wait quad cores are coming out too might have to get one of thoughs or Intels cheater version now two duel cores put together. it all adds up real fast and at the rate computors are changing now every six mounth or less you'd be buying a new one or even a slightly used one just to keep up. naw not me anymore I'll keep playing on what I got tell it won't play very well anymore. heck I was still playing medal of honor breakthrough on a 900 mhz slot A while other were using socket A Athlon XP's. I was competitive at it too may not have been the greatest player or lowest ping, but I was their playing and keeping up with the big boys and their new rigs.

Is 2560x1440 resolution (WQHD) supported over HDMI in OS X Mavericks?

Hi, just bought a Dell UltraSharp U2713HM monitor and connected it to my Mac Book Pro (Retina) by a high-quality HDMI cable.
Unfortunately, Mac OS X sets the monitor at 1920x1080 resolution instead of its native res 2560x1440.
The specs for the MacBook says it supports up to 2560x1600 resolution.
My questions are:
Is there anything different about HDMI cables that alloiws some to support HDMI 1.3a or 1.4, but not others? It's a high quality Cambridge Audi cable, but was bought a few years back. It has no numbers on it.
Does the MacBook Pro hardware support HDMI 1.4?
Does Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 support HDMI 1.4?
If so, I should be able to achieve 2560x1440 at 60 Hz. If not, is it possible to set a lower refresh rate in order to achieve the panel's native resolution?

The HDMI video output support for 1080p resolution at up to 60Hz. To free your thunderbolt port you would need a USB 3.0 4-Port Hub and a USB-to-Ethernet Adapter to connect your MacBook Pro to the Ethernet network. The DisplayPort is capable of driving your display with 2560×1400 resolution.

What should I do? Has other people's Support been this bad?

My name is Mile Marjanovich and I am an unhappy Verizon Wireless customer.
I have been a customer since October 2004 and finally after 7 years I think it's time to call it quits with this company. Their network may have been one of the most reliable in the past compared to the competition but in the end it was the customer service and the literal lies that their employees have told me which made me call it quits.
And here's how it ended keep in mind none of the details have been exaggerated nor embellished this is the actual situation and times in which this has transpired.
On September 7th 2011 at 2130 me and the wife bought 2 Motorola Droid Bionics using our last "New Every Two" sale, we purchased 2 Bionics, 1 Lapdock, 1 Car Dock, 1 Bluetooth Earpiece, 1 Car charger, roughly totalling $1200 in purchases, with our rep telling us there would be $100 rebate for the lapdock and that our existing Droid 1 & Droid 2 could be turned in for even more credit to offset the cost. Expecting these phones to live up to the standards of quality that motorola had given us with both the Droid 1 (2 purchased December 2009) and the Droid 2 (1 purchased in June 2010) we were excited. We were not new to the Android family nor to Motorola products before purchasing these so it's not a first time bad experience situation.
On September 12th 2011 at 1200 the phones arrived, to start with they wouldn't activate, through 2 calls of technical support and excuses along the longs of "its such a popular phone right now our activation servers are busy so just keep trying" we finally got them activated in about an hour and a half later.
On September 15th (our billing cycle date) we noticed that the $100 credit for the lapdock had still not been applied nor had we received a $100 Verizon gift card yet.
On September 22nd I called Verizon opting to finally use the 14 day no worries hassle free guarantee and return the phones which in the first 9 days experienced, 3g/4g service interupts, applications uninstalling themselves, missed calls, dropped calls, extraordinarily short bettery lifes (under 4 hours with little to moderate usage). We I talked to Verizon they informed me that it was past the 14 day mark and we could not exchange, as it started from the time we ordered the phones not the time we received the phones. So the 5 days it took to get the phones was part of our "Testing time".
In late September 2011, I had finally received the boxes and prepaid shipping labels to send the Droid 1 & Droid 2 into Verizon for the credit program and sent them the phones.
In October 15th, 2011 (Billing cycle date) we had still not received and credit for the lapdock, the droid 1 or the droid 2, and our phones were replaced the first time after my wife's Bionic developped a strange clicking noise in the speakers anytime any audio was played and my Bionic had began to drop calls regularlly.
In late October 2011, the first Bionic that arrived to replace the wife's was faulty, the Power Switch wouldn't depress and you couldn't turn the phone on.
A couple days later in October 2011 another bionic arrived and besides the 3g/4g data issues at least turned on.
Throughout November 2011 our phones were replaced for the following reasons, 1 the external speaker didn't work, 1 the sim card slot didn't work, 1 had a charge that lasted only 22 minutes from full to shutdown, 1 constantly crashed no matter which google app you tried to use, 1 the gps didn't work, 1 the Wifi/Bluetooth/LTE services didn't work, 1 arrived with a metal sliver sticking outta the bezel in the upper left hand corner of the phone which actually cut my finger open when I went to turn the unit on once, 1 only had 3g functuality and the Verizon rep said that the database on their end showed it as a "Unknown Device" and thus he couldn't fix it. During all of these repairs, returns, etc each "Factory Certified Like New Device" showed up with glitches, errors and other non-working features and with an average of 60 minutes a call to tech support each day for Activation issues and troubleshooting, Verizon kept telling me that when Motorola would release "The Patch" it would all fix itself.
November 15th (Billing Cycle) still no rebate/credit for lapdock, or traded in phones, after a couple calls and them "Researching the problems" they figured out that the $100 lapdock rebate was only from September 8th-October 15th, and although the Verizon website on the 7th of September showed the deal and the Verizon rep that sold me the phones told me about the offer I was not elligible since I ordered the phones 2 1/2 hours early. Through a pile of additional calls they finally said sorry and credited me $100 for the lapdock. So issue #1 of 5 had been solved (3 rebates, 2 broke phone) 20% progress.
December 15th, 2011 - Received a $70 credit on my account (Droid 1?)
Continuing into December of 2011, we continued to replace phones and battle customer service, even went to far as to actually post a review of the phone on Verizon's websites with the issues we've had and awarded the phone a single star (The review was deleted) as well as an additional 2 bad reviews (always deleted after being posted to their website) and then one day things changed...
On December 16th around 1800, I spoke with Mark (Technical Support Supervisor) for Verizon and he made me and my wife and offer, he looked at the notes and the logs and the troubles we had been having with the phones and offered to replace the device with a comparable model. My only request was ANYTHING but another Motorola phone. He offered the HTC Rezound and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I told Mark, since I have only ever had Motorola Droid Products I don't know which one of those were better and asked him, what HE would get as he was going to know Verizon's product line better than myself. He said the Nexus, he hadn't received any calls on it, it was a new phone, great reviews, etc. I agreed to the offer, he told me that since it was going to be a warranty replacement the phones would be certified like new and that the most difficult part in getting used phones is usually locating the batteries and the battery backs. After another 10 minutes or so of him looking things up he told me the phones had been ordered and we would be receiving 3 boxes from fedex, 2 boxes would each contain one Nexus and one box would have the batteries and the backs. I asked Mark how to ship the phones and what should I do with the incompatible accessories (1 Bionic Lapdock & 1 Bionic Car Dock) seeing as verizon does not accept accessories for trade in credit. He advised me to sell the parts on Ebay or Craigslist or something to buy the new parts for the Nexus.
On December 17th (Saturday) I managed to sell the parts for enough to get the Nexus Dock.
On December 19th (Monday) I received 4 packages from Fedex, 3 Bionics, and one box containing 2 Samsung Galaxy Nexus Batteries, and 2 Samsung Galaxy Nexus Battery Backdoors. I called Verizon to figure out where the Nexus's are and why I had a 3rd bonus bionic here and was informed that Mark never actually ordered it and they were confused as to why he would offer it when there is no used inventory. The double checked the notes on their system and verified he did actually offer it and Alice (an amazing CS rep) said that she would check inventory every tuesday and thursday and send me a text message with the inventory status (and to this day she still does, like she promised).
On December 20th (Tuesday) Mark called me to appologize and say he cannot order the phone as there is no inventory and sorry for making the offer. He said he was shipping me 2 Motorola Droid Razr's that would be here on Wednesday, and that these were great phones, no issues, never have to be replaced, etc. After I got off the phone with him I immediatly called Customer Service back and tried to figure out how my one request had been ignored again and why they couldn't fufill the offer. Michelle (another very nice rep) said sorry, she doesn't know why he offered and then retracted but told me to "Just give the Motorola Razr's a chance" there great phones and seriously no issues.
On December 21st (Wednesday) 1400, I received 2 Motorola Droid Razr's, as my wife was working I didn't want to try and activate her's while she was at work and mess with her service I went through the invoices and grabbed the one attached to my line and tried to activate it. The Razr sent to me had a couple issues, #1 It kept getting a "Sim Card Authorization Error, please contact customer service" #2 Wifi wouldn't work #3 LTE service wouldn't work #4 the phone would randomly restart itself every couple of hours, #5 it fluctuated between no service for literally hours at a time to "Unknown Carrier" messages. I made 6 calls over the 24 hours I had the phone and the issues were still not resolved, and remember this was "The phone with no issues, trust us, you'll love it, just give it a chance". My wife's line on the other hand after 30 minutes of customer service and resetting the IMEI in the database and the reinputting the SIM card on verizon's end they finally got her's working and what do ya know it's great... Mine on the other hand was still not functional.
On December 22nd (Thursday) I contacted the West Region Executive Management team, and technical support explained 3 months of history, issues, number of replacements etc, and my rep said they were sending out a HTC Rezound, finally listening to my "Anything but a Motorola" request and that I would receive it on Friday (Dec 23rd)
On December 23rd (Friday) I spoke with Liz, West Region Executive Management Team representative, who after looking at my account for last couple months, looked into the HTC Rezound I was going to receive later today and said good news, it looks like it was a unit returned after just one day, so it wasnt a defective unit or anything, should be great... feeling reassured that Verizon had finally sent me a good working unit I waited. At 1800 hours I received my fedex shipment and opened the box to find... a Motorola Razr, I have had the Razr now for 3 hours and 7 minutes... it will not activate, it keeps failing, it has been reset twice, i have swapped SIM cards, still not activating...
... at least my wife is working... too bad for me apparently 12 Motorola Droid Bionics, and 3 Motorola Droid Razr's are just the beginning of this game...

Unfortunately, most of my advice is in the "hindsight is 20-20" category.
First off, I would never have purchased the peripheral accessories until the 14 day return period had expired. Second, you learned the hard way what the "14 days" really means.
Too bad you didn't do any homework, reading this and other forums and tech sites. Even word of mouth from others. That, more than anything could have steered you towards different phone choices from the get-go and I will leave that there with no further comment other than to say most of the issues you described have been discussed in this forum, ad nauseam.
Once you got into the refurbished phone exchanges, that is where things really went haywire. What someone tells you over the phone is a sketchy proposition, and when it comes down to it, it's your word against theirs.
I think Verizon tried to make it right, though. Remember, they don't make the phones. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
You stated yourself you were a satisfied Verizon customer before this. Had the first two phones performed as they should, you would still be a satisfied Verizon customer.
Doubt any of that will make you any happier, but after you went through the effort of writing such a long post, I thought I'd try.

Problems with display of preview - and Adobe's tech support.

Hello, all.
After quite a bit of struggle I am still experiencing problems with the way Bridge CS5 displays previews. Previews are displayed with rather low quality. By that I mean low resolution that causes images to appear pixelated and out of focus. I've tried every possible setting in Bridge (or at least I think I have) but nothing seems to work. The setting that forces Previews to be built to the specific monitor size of the computer used doesn't work for me as I spend equal amounts of time working between my Macbook Pro 17" and my Apple 30" cinema display that have different resolutions. I've tried this setting and the preview images created on the notebook would not display at all on the 30" display.
I have contacted support only to find it is nearly non-existent. A voice obviously from someone located in India answered and kept asking what I considered to be basic questions and must have used the word "apologize" at least 20 to 30 times (no exageration) during the 1 hour and 43 minutes we were on the phone to accomplish nothing other than to "register" my complaint.
What is happening to Adobe ? This is not a joke, a rumor or an angry comment but rather a serious question from a user who has built a professional workflow based on the use of Adobe's products. I have been an user of the Adobe Creative Suite since its very first version and of the individual applications even before then. Bridge is one of the applications I use the most in my workflow that involves the organization of my large database of medical images I keep from my treatments and research. So this is very serious to me. I am now on the phone with Adobe waiting again to speak with someone in technical support. I was told the average waiting time would take between 35 and 50 minutes and I didn't think it would be possible but so far I have been on hold waiting for 1 hour and 7 minutes and someone has yet to answer the phone. What is happening with Adobe ? Is the company about to go out of business ? The last time I remember experiencing such a lack of support from a company I did so when contacting Polaroid and we all know what happened to it.
To make matters worse I have twice contacted Adobe and asked their technical support agent to remove a phone number that they seem to have mistakenly written as a contact number in my files. More than one month after I registered my support request I finally received an e-mail stating that had tried to contact me at the phone that isn't mine and shouldn't be a part of my records despite the fact I have instructed them twice to remove. There are serious legal implications here as I am bound to confidentiality when it comes to the medical information I manage with my Adobe applications and the idea that someone in technical support may accidentally share this information with a stranger while calling the wrong number is a serious problem.
What is going on ?
Outside of this forum I have no idea who to contact and if it is even worthwhile doing so as it may prove to be a huge waste of time.
Bridge has been a problem application since its inception. In fact the only version of Bridge that seemed to have worked (somewhat) right out of the box was the first one. I have experienced problems with Bridge with every single new version. Previews that don't display properly, crashes, folder hierarchy indicators not displaying properly, and others. The same images display fine if I open them in Apple's OS X Preview or Photoshop CS5. The problem is restricted to Bridge. All images are RAW high-quality images from a professional Canon EOS 1Ds MK II camera with a 17 megapixel full size sensor, and they always look stunning on everything else.
What is one to do ???
Sorry about the long post but I am one frustrated user who doesn't know what else to do.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi again, Steve.
In answer to your questions:
> What view are you using for the Slideshow (centered, fit screen, fill screen, 100%)?
Centered.
> What is the slide duration set to in Slide Show Options, does changing it to manual help?
I have it always set to manual.
> What are you're Preferences> Advanced> settings for 'Software Rendering' and 'Monitor Previews' (checked or unchecked)?
I've tried both choices for both options. My usual default options are 'Software Rendering' unchecked as I have a new Macbook Pro (only a few months old) and the graphics card is powerful enough to handle the previews and 'Monitor Previews' also unchecked.
> What are you're Preferences> Cache settings for Options (Keep 100%..., Automatically Export...)?
' Keep 100% Previews in Cache ' option - checked
' Automatically Export Cache to Folders When Possible ' option - unchecked
> What resolutions do you have set for both the 17" MBP and 30" ACD?
Their native resolutions: 1920 x 1200 for the MBP 17" built-in display and 2560 x 1600 for the 30" cinema display.
> In the Mac System Prefs.> Energy Saver... do you have the Automatic graphics switching checked off ?
No. I have this option checked for both Battery and Power Adapter.
On Bridge's interface upper right hand corner I have also selected using one of its pull down menus the following options:
' Always High Quality ' and ' Generate 100% Previews '
Any ideas ???
Thanks,
Joe

MacBook Pro mid-2010 15-inch Supports Monitor at 720p but not 1080p

Hello all,
Systems Specs:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)
Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256 MB
I am attempting to connect my MBP to a new Asus VE278Q, 27inch 1920x1080. I use a mini-display port to HDMI monoprice cable. I can connect at 720p and the display looks fine. When I switch to 1080p the monitor flickers and turns to snow within a few seconds. My parents' 2013 MBP, using the same cable, can connect to the monitor and display perfectly.
The technical specs for a mid-2010 MBP say that it can support "up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display." It should be able to support this monitor easily. I have also tried to connect it to a Sony 1080p TV, where it registered as black screen.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Is there something wrong with my graphics card?

It can be accomplished when an external display is connected, so I expect it can be done without an external display.

You're getting full native resolution 1366 x 768 on your internal display, nothing more.
