4k@60hz big interference problem

Hello.
I have a 2014 MP with the D700 upgrade.
I am using it to drive a 28" philips 4k monitor http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K15LQZM
In single channel mode (30hz) it works beautifully. However, when i enable displayport 1.2 on the monitor, there is interference on the right side of the screen. it is a regular pattern of noise (always the same degradation), and does not seem affected by moving the cable around.
I bought the nicest miniDP->DP cable i could find which claims to be rated for 1.2, however after seeing the noise I decided to try another cable.
This time I tried a 1.2-rated miniDP cable and a 1.2-rated miniDP->DP dongle. With this cable, the interference is ridiculous. the screen will flicker off and on, and the noise which was previously on the right side of the screen is now on both sides of the screen.
Going back to the first cable restores the partially-degraded state, which is what i have to use when 30hz gives me a headache.
Based on another post here, I have a hunch that this is some kind of EM leakage--though disabling wifi did not have any effect whatsoever.
so my question is, are there any other radios which could be interfering?
I have moved to a different house, and to another floor and side of my current house while troubleshooting this, and the noise is identical--seemingly ruling out ambient EM noise. I can't find any more 1.2-rated miniDP->DP adapters to try. I'm open to just about any ideas. I thought about bringing it to the mac store where i bought it, but they don't have any 4k/60hz monitors there for me to try.
So far the $6k I've spent on this rig is under-performing the PC i bought for $400 5 years ago... hopefully someone can guide me to a solution or i'm basically done with apple lol

I found this post buried in another thread. looks like this is a very common problem with the D700's. It seems like this is not a defect with my unit but a known bug with OSX display drivers.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6080897?start=75&tstart=0
basically the only way to "fix" this is by hacking a custom display header file which tricks OSX into thinking the monitor's native refresh rate is 50-56hz instead of 60hz. I'll update after i've tried this.
too bad apple doesn't seem to care about quality issues... this bug has been open for a year and no one in support seems to have any clue how to mitigate, let alone fix it. Good thing for hackers.

  • Big Eudora problem, small Finder issue-- related?

    I use Eudora for my email, and unfortunately my big Eudora problem is not getting solved in the Eudora message board; after half a day of Eudora quitting unexpectedly and then working fine but just for a few minutes if I restarted my computer, now when I launch Eudora, my Finder crashes-- everything disappears but the background image, and the computer is frozen.
    The reason I'm posting here is that before it reached this stage, there were other weird things that didn't relate to Eudora: I would try to launch Flash, and Flash couldn't open a new blank file. I would try to launch something else, and an error message would say that some component in a Library wasn't found. All of these things are not happening anymore; as far as I know, only Eudora is misbehaving, but one odd feature remains: every finder window is showing, next to the search field in the upper right, a large question mark, and next to that there is a folder icon. If I click on the folder icon, I'm taken to one particular folder in my HD that has no significance to anything that I can tell. If I click on the question mark, I get "the item can not be found." (Hence the question mark, I guess). But what are those doing there in every finder window? Is there supposed to be a folder icon at the middle-top-right of every finder window? I don't remember one there.
    I have done an archive-and-install of OS 10.4.6, but the finder window business is still the same.
    The hardware test CD that came with my PowerBook says all hardware is okay. Disk Warrior finds no problems. Disk Permissions are okay in Disk Utility. I ran Clam Xav, and it found four copies of viruses: three (called Email.Ecard-6) in my In box and in two mailboxes with older In messages, and one (called Email.Phishing.Pay-8) in my Out box. I put all of these files in the trash and restarted my laptop, launched Eudora and the finder crashed. I reinstalled Eudora and the same thing happened, although I had put the infected boxes back in place before reinstalling Eudora.
    I don't know where the problem is.
    Any advice, please?
    Paul

    Ciao Von Stripes,
    I've just found the solution:
    Open - System Preferences, then open - Spotlight
    There is a list of categories.
    Find - Files on the list, then click, drag and drop to the position number 1 and "voilá"
    I hope it works for you too... 

  • Interference Problems

    I've had terrible interference problems since receiving my iPhone5 (both with static coming from computer and radio speakers if my phone is near), and with my bluetooth headset. I've tried multiple headsets (Plantronics Voyager and Motorola Sliver) and I can only get about 10-15 ft. from phone without having connectivity problems.  Apple even sent me a replacement phone but I had the same issues.  Any thoughts?

  • The big iChat problems. Audio/Video (now completely broken in 10.7.3), the "not-authorized" problem

    So, I am running iChat on OS X Lion 10.7.3 on an early-2011 MBP 13'' . These problems have been here for a while, though (I got my comp with 10.7.0). I have AIM/GMail/Yahoo connected..
    One problem is the issue of non-authorized people. There is a list of "not authorized" people that I have to scroll past in my "offline" section of iChat buddies before I actually get to the real offline contacts. Big note here: All these people have the address (something)@aol.com. These contacts have come up as a result of my gmail connection. You see, a few months ago Gmail and AIM did this chat unification process where @aol.com contacts can be just added into Gmail for chatting. These @aol.com copies come up asking for an invite when the REAL AIM address person talks to me. The invites leave once I press decline, but then they stay on my list as not authorized. If I delete these "not-authorized" copies, the invites will come up again and the cycle will repeat. It is a nuisance considering how much of these false contacts are on my list.
    Second problem is video/audio chat in general. This issue really applies on AIM/Yahoo—there is nothing for Gmail because people usually use the web interface which simply doesn't work with iChat video/audio. If the people used Google talk, the issue written below would probably come up.
    See, what happens is that…(now in 10.7.3), video/audio chat is simply broken, simple as that. My contacts always tell me that an error has occurred when trying to accept my video chat invite. It simply doesn't work. They are using AIM desktop in most cases. When it DID used to work (to a very limited extent, I'll say; it was hit or miss earlier pre 10.7.3, now it's just miss), it was just video but NO audio. They could see/hear me, I could only see them. When I did audio chats, they hear me, I..don't hear them (so audio chats were pointless). The only case where this problem doesn't happen is where it's Mac to Mac, iChat to iChat. VERY limited in use of audio/video chat, if you ask me.

    Hi,
    If AIM contacts have been added to your Google Buddy List then I would login to Google and remove them from there  (the iGoogle or GoogleMail web pages will show the Chat option)
    Whilst they are still in the List then the Authorization request will probably be resent (In this case it is probably being generated by the method Google are using to add the AIM names as iChat only sends it once).
    Google/Jabber Video chats is only iChat to iChat and so is Yahoo with iChat 6.
    The Yahoo App streams Video which People can be allowed to see and Audio is added in as an Audio Chat.
    The connection Process is not the same and iChat/AIM
    Jabber and Google use Jingle to Connect (in fact Google's version is not that compatible with other Jabber apps).
    This means iChat to the Standalone PC app  or any Web Browser using the Google Video Plug-in (PC or Mac) or to any Jabber app that is using a Google ID (or a Jabber ID) will not work.
    On the iChat to AIM on a PC.
    This has always been a bit of a hit and miss affair.
    Some people have no trouble but other spend ages trying to set things up and never find the solution.
    This is the Original Users Tip  (up to about AIM5.9)
    A "replacement" for that tip that has not made it across yet.
    I have yet to try Video to the Web Login version that is now on offer.
    However I would limit the Bandwidth in iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section to 500kbps (possibly try 200kbps for 1-1 chats) as you will not know the interent speed available to the Buddy if they are using the web login.
    Comparisons
    When you compare iChat actual functions to what you would like it to do it can appear to be limited.
    On the basis that you would want your IM app to be able to have Buddies from other services listed in a Buddy list (combined) or Lists which apps do you know of can do that and Video to some of them ?
    Adium and ProteusX can both have Buddies from the major Services ina  Buddy List but don't do Audio or Video.
    Yahoo and MSN both allow the other's Buddies in the list but I am not sure about Video or Audio chats
    They cannot connect to Jabber or AIM buddies even for text chats.
    Jabber does depend on the server you use and whether that does Transports for you to have text chats with other services.

    Mercury IM is a JAVA version of MSN and still has not got to Audio and Video

  • Big graphic problem on MacBook Pro

    First, I appologize for my english but i'm french !
    So, I have a very big problem since I have upgrade to Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro mid-2010 (Core i5 2,4Ghz / 4Go / 320Go) : when the graphics card switch from the Nvdia to the Intel3000, it turn like this :
    So I need to restart. There is no problem when I start with the Intel3000.
    Only append when it switch from the Nvidia to the Intel3000.
    So I use gfxCardStatus to only use the Nvidia but I'm waiting for a fix from Apple with the next update of Mountain Lion.
    Great update ...

    Reply to myself but can help other people : after a "clean install" of Moutain Lion, using a USB key, no more problem, even with gfxCardStatus !
    And big big improvement of system reactivity.

  • Broken Ftp Connection and big files problem

    I have a problem with big-files downloading.
    Does anybody know how to resume downloading using FTP-connection?
    Or how can I get bytes from FTP connected file using something like random access to avoid the restart of downloading the file?
    "InputStream" does not support "seek"-like methods.

    From RFC 959
    RESTART (REST)
    The argument field represents the server marker at which
    file transfer is to be restarted. This command does not
    cause file transfer but skips over the file to the specified
    data checkpoint. This command shall be immediately followed
    by the appropriate FTP service command which shall cause
    file transfer to resume.
    You should also be aware of RFC 959 Section 3.4.2 on BLOCK MODE transfers which is what allows FTP to REST a connection and "skip" n-bytes of a file.

  • Big generic problem

    I'm having a big problem. Look at this:
    public class Person {
    public class Employee extends Person {
    public class Bank {
    private List<Person> people = new ArrayList<Person>();
    public List<Person> people() {
    return people;
    Now the problem:
    public class Test {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
    Bank b = new Bank();
    b.people().add(new Employee()); // This was to be forbidden, but
    // the compiler doesn't complain
    In the class Bank I declared a list to contain only Person objects:
    private List<Person> people = new ArrayList<Person>();
    and a method to return it, with the same generic type:
    public List<Person> people()
    so, how could the compiler let me add a person of type Employee in the class
    Test? No matter if I change the declaration of the people() method to accept
    only objects of class Person and above, like this:
    public List<? super Person> people()
    it still compiles and I still can add Employee objects to the list that were
    supposed to hold just Person objects.
    So, the question is:
    HOW COULD I RETURN A LIST IN A METHOD WITH A GENERIC TYPE THAT HAS SUBCLASSES AND THAT I CAN MAKE THE LIST TO ACCEPT OBJECTS JUST OF THAT TYPE, NOT OF ITS SUBCLASSES? So, this is type safe. I don't want the list of the example above to accept objects of type Employee, just Person.

    so, why can I add Employees to a list declaredthis
    way
    public List<Person> get() {
    return people; // <--- list of Person
    }I don't see how it can be said any more clearly -
    BECAUSE AN Employee IS A Person!
    wouldn't it be to behave the same way as you
    said?
    Is
    the proplem related to a param and a return
    type.
    With params with works, but not with returntypes?
    I don't understand your point!Look if I'm really understanding this thing:
    public void add(List<Person> p)
    private List<Employee> e = new
    ArrayList<Employee>();
    obj.add(e) // Error. It's not exactly a PersonNow:
    public List<Person> people();
    private List<Employee> e = new
    ArrayList<Employee>();
    obj.people().add(new Employee()); // Ok. But why?An Employee is a Person. But in the first code it
    didn't let me add an Employee to a method acception a
    Person. That's what I want. But why the second code
    worked. Isn't it the same thing. The param type in
    both examples is a list of Person.To be more clear in the first code:
    public class Obj {
        public void people(List<Person> p)
    private List<Employee> e = new ArrayList<Employee>();
    Obj obj = new Obj();
    obj.people(e) // Error. It's not exactly a Person

  • Big disk problems - or big-disk problems?

    Hi there!
    I have really big problems. I try to set up a 45 GB Western Digital Caviar 450AA (secondary IDE controller, master-drive). I patched my machine with the recommended patch cluster which also contains patch no. 110202-01 for the ata-drivers. I am able to fdisk the drive with a geometry file using fdisk with options. I am also able to partition the disk with the native solaris 8 x86 format tool. I label the disk - fine so far. But when I try to build a filesystem on it, newfs terminates wih errors. I afterwards tried to set up a scsi-disk with 4,1 GB (IBM DCAS 34330). The same problem occured: newfs (as well as mkfs with options) terminated with the following error message:
    mkfs: bad value for size: 0 must be between 1024 and 0
    mkfs: size reset to default 0
    mkfs: bad value for ntrack: 6 must be between 1 and 0
    mkfs: ntrack reset to default 16
    seek error on sector -1: invalid argument
    That's pretty strange, isn't it? I don't know wheter Solaris x86 is that different from Solaris SPARC edition. Perhaps I'm too dumb to get this machine working and should put my fingers off Solaris x86 edition.
    Could anybody in this world help me? Or has anybody the same problems? You know - it's just for my collegues: they are now calling me brad...
    Greetings

    Two choices:
    - Call Apple (1-800-MY-APPLE) and order, for nominal cost, the original DVDs.
    - Or order the SN disk from Apple

  • Big Font Problems

    Hi, I decided I'd still all the fonts from my old G4 Powermac onto my Macbook Pro and put them onto a memory dongle and started click and dragging the folders into Font Book (well over a thousand), during which it named quite a few files as corrupt and warned me not to install them.
    Just as I went to tell it not to install them I brushed my dongle so and a warning message came up telling me the device was not removed properly, also Font Book crashed before I could tell it not to install fonts. All this whilst I was installing. I had to force quite the whole finder and restart and now when I go to open say Word, a screen comes up again and again stopping me from getting anywhwere saying:
    "please remove font (say TImes) as it is corrupt", then once I've removed that font from font book, another one...then another one and another one, I've been here half a day deleting fonts, sometimes they are important fonts like Arial and Helvetica and it warns me not to delete them in Font Book because they are system fonts and could effect the running of some aplications, but at the same time Word tells me to delete them, I've had to dissable all my fonts because everything workds slow. I want to delete all my fonts and start again but from where can I recover the standard fonts my computer came with? And would I be risking any of the applications in the meantime?
    What shall I do next and is there any quick way of distinguising the corrupt fonts (seems to be about half) from all the no corrupt fonts?
    Cheers,
    Ray
    Sorry if this is a really thick question

    OK solved.
    Yes the problem was that although all the fonts were showing as normal in the system folder they were a few remaining fonts in Font Book (just the system ones) and they were deactivated, I've since activated and will not be touching it any longer as there's no need.
    With Extensis it does tell you to not only have the system fonts active at all times but also Helvetica as many applications need that font, so I activated Helvetica out of the many versions I have. Only after further research what I should have done is activate specifically "Helvetica.dfont", that's the key and is the main font used in web pages like Google and Yahoo on Safari and Mail on macs, everything looks normal now. Also, after activating all the other system fonts listed above again the red star appeared back on the mail icon to notify me of new mail
    Also what I like now that my fonts (around 20 thousand) have been orgonized sorted from roots up is that everything loads so speedily!..on boot up, when opening software like Word, Photoshop and Illustrator, which can often take ages if you have a wrongly placed big font collection.
    OK, thanks for all the help guys, but guess what, I have ONE LAST PROBLEM, and I won't bother you any more, promise.
    Last month, I had spent ages typing out the most perfect CV in word, I did a print version where I used variations of Helvetica, and an Email version for sending to office by Email where to avoid font substitution problems with PC users not having Helvetica I used Arial. I had a very tight layout with small letters, had a lot of trouble getting all my lines in there, as I used a table layout I'd made, and after a lot of tweaking and cursing had finally made things look perfect without tables jumping onto the next screen and leaving lots of white gaps. It was the ultimate perfect CV and a lot of people had commented on how it was so clear, and an example of how a CV should look as it wasn't over laden with graphics, stupid styles, overkill distracting font variations and colours etc etc.
    Anyway, went to open them again just this evening to print and send out some more copies for a new job that's appeared and...nightmare! Everything is all over the place, fonts have been substituted to Times New Romany serif looking ones, and bold typefaces to some other crappy san serif. The tables that I'd spent ages making stay still have jumped all over the place due to font substitutions.
    So obviously I went to Extensis Suitcase and made sure that all the Helveticas I have were activated (tonnes) and that all the Arial I have was activated. But when I went to re open word after re-starting it, sadly same problem.
    Is there a fix for this?
