Additional monitor hdmi not working after screen saver

I have an additional HDMI monitor attached to my macbook air.
after the screensaver is activated, the monitor is no switching on again, so I have to unplug and plug physically the get it reactivated

Problem fixed by resetting the SMC.
Close all applications
Shut down the computer
Unplug all peripherals
Unplug power source, wait for 30 seconds
Plug power source back in (mine shows green light then red, shows it is charging)
Press the shift, control, option, power (I see power cord light goes to green again, and then red, sort of indicating that SMC has been reset)

Secondary monitor does not work after OS X install

My secondary monitor does not work well after OS X install. The image on my secondary monitor is different even the screen svaer image is different and the mouse can not be seen.

Try the easy thing first - NVRAM reset:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If that does not work, post back with more info, including the version of Mac OS you are running. How is the external monitor connected, did it ever work, and from what OS X to what was the "OS X install" in your title?

ISight not working after screen repair

My iSight is not working after a screen repair (which was damaged during Apple fixing the topboard!). Could it be possible that the camera is damaged in some way during a screen being replaced? I am a bit annoyed that they did not check the machine after all of teh repairs were made as I have a number of adverse issues with it now.
Has anyone else experience this after a screen replacement? I get the message that there is no camera attached, or that it is in use. I have followed threads regarding checking login items etc, to no avail.
The iSight is important to me as I am a long way from home. It is annoying that something seems to go wrong with the MacBook, when I most need it.

When an iSight isn't working, there are a variety of simple things you can try (see further below), but one thing few people think of, is to connect a Firewire or USB drive that contains a bootable system, which has previously been tested on a known-good Mac to make sure the iSight works when booted from that drive, and see if the problem still occurs with the Mac that's under test. That's a quick way of testing whether the problem is hardware or software.
Other things to try:
- Reset PRAM, NVRAM, and Open Firmware.
- Reset your Mac's SMU--see documentation for your Mac for specifics.
- Repair permissions.
- Make a new user account, and see if it happens there.
- Check Login Items in the Accounts prefpane for anything that might be causing the trouble, like printer or scanner items.
- Try what's suggested at www.eriymati.com.ar/isight/
- Reset the printing system in Printer Setup Utility, since some printer/scanner drivers can stop the iSight from working--if that helps, see if your printer/scanner can work with OS X's built-in drivers; if it can't, download the latest driver for your printer/scanner from its manufacturer's web site, and see if that allows the printer/scanner to work, without interfering with the iSight, but some manufacturers, including HP, Epson, etc. are still dragging their feet about making such drivers. If the printer/scanner driver still causes trouble, uninstall it, then replace the printer/scanner with one whose manufacturer has enough brains to write a driver that doesn't interfere with the iSight (some specifically state now, in their System Requirements, that they don't work with Macs that contain built-in iSights, so check this before you buy another printer/scanner).
Sometimes a non-working iSight is caused by something wrong at a "deep" System level (meaning, it might be caused by a single bad or missing file, but it might take days to find it)--if you find that to be the case, the quickest fix if you find the steps above (and others described here and elsewhere), is to reinstall OS X, either by doing an Archive and Install, or by making a bootable backup of the drive, erasing it, then using Migration Assistant to copy the data from the backup.

HDMI not working after W10 upgrade

Hi, My HDMI stop working after W10 upgrade. It was working fine before on W7 now i get no signal on my Philips 42" TV.The cable tested on another G61 with W7 found working fine Any clue plz.

Mutiple monitor setup not working after waking from sleep

Mac Mini 2011
Mavericks (10.9.3)
Monitor 1 Mini->HDMI Cable->Monitor
Monitor 2 Mini->Mini Display Port to HDMI Adapter->HDMI Cable->Monitor
Monitors are not the same size
Thw adapter is PNY (PNY A-DM-HD-W01)
Upgraded to Mavericks, second monitor works nicely. However, when waking the system up after it goes to sleep, the second monitor does not turn on. Further, the primary montior blinks every few seconds between the usual display and shrinking the windows to a smaller size. Unplugging the second monitor from the HDMI adapter cable stops the blinking, but connecting it again (even after waiting a few minutes) makes the blinking continue and the second monitor does not wake up. On reboot, all works fine again.

Photos do not work in screen saver in preferences

With upgrade to 10.10.3 and integration from iPhoto to Photos, my screen saver in preferences cannot access my photos. Any ideas?

Mine started working after a while. I'm not sure how long it took but probably a couple hours. I was getting organized to set up a folder with the pictures I wanted in the screen saver when I clicked on the menu in the system preferences and was very surprised to options to pick photos from Photos.
Later, I was disappointed to see the list of albums was out of date; the new screen saver album wasn't there. I decided to try quitting system preferences and starting it up again and that worked. When I checked the list of albums available in the screen saver menu, it had updated and I was able to select the folder I wanted.

Internal Webcam and Microphone not working after Screen Fix

I own a HP Envy Spectre XT Ultrabook, and last week I tried to use the webcam and the microphone for the first time in a few months.
However I was shocked to find that Skype kept saying that the webcam was not detected. The microphone also could not register any sound.
Device Manager did not show any imaging devices or the webcamera, even after setting it to view non-present devices.
A check using msinfo32 did not review the webcamera either, and there were no problem devices.
Control Panel >> Sound showed that the Internal Microphone using IDT High Definition Audio Codec was enabled and working, however it could not detect any sound. All drivers are checked to be up-to-date.
I suspect this has something to do with the screen repair last month which a HP on-site technician came down to replace my screen, although I cannot be 100% sure. Although the screen is now working, the technician did not do a good job reassembling the screen - the bottom left corner of the screen cover has not be able to attach properly to the screen.
I have gone through my BIOS setup to make sure that there is no webcam disabled.
I have tried rolling-back and reinstalling the drivers for the microphone but it did not work.
I have tried uninstalling CyberLink YouCam (laptop preinstalled webcam software).
Please help, these two components are very important to me as I am going overseas soon. The laptop is still under warranty.

Hey ajun,
Thank you very much for the information!
For troubleshooting your Webcam, I would suggest taking a look at the document Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 7). I would suggest the two options Video does not appear in your webcam software (such as YouCam, Skype, Messenger, ect.), and Webcam is not listed in Device Manager.
For your internal microphone not working either, please take a look at the document Resolving Microphone and Line-in Problems (Windows 7). From this document, I would suggest following the top two symptoms.
Please let me know the outcome of these troubleshooting steps.
Good luck, and have a great day!
I worked on behalf of HP

IPhoto not working as screen saver in OS X 10.9.4

I have upgraded two Macs to OS X 10.9.4 and am now no longer able to use folders from my iPhoto library as screen savers. The reboot solution another user found is not working on either of these computers. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Hello Ursula,
If I understand your problem correctly you would like to choose one of your folders (not an event) from iPhoto to be your screen saver. I had the same issue and found the solution. I am running OS X 10.9.4 and iPhoto 9.5.1 on a mbp. Go to:
•"System Preferences";
•"Desktop & Screen Saver";
•"Screen Savor";
•Choose one of the viewing options from the left panel e.g. "floating"/"flip-up"/"ken burns";
•Once you chose a viewing option a "Source:" drop down menu will appear in the right pane. (note the "source" drop down menu is not visible until you chose a viewing option;
•From the "Source" choice "photo library";
•You should now see all the pictures from your iPhoto including the folders you have made;
•Click the folder and then click the "choose" button.
I hope this helps!

Ipad 2 lock button not working after screen replacement

I replaced the screen of Ipad2. Afterward, the power button is only working when I turn it on or off, but did not work for locking the screen neither with assistive touch. And another issue is when the divece is rebooted, after the apple logo desepears normally we can see the start screen, but in this case the screen stays black after the apple logo desepears untill I pushed the home button. (IOS 7.1.2)
Please advise, thanks

If you replaced the screen through a 3rd party or yourself, you have void all warranty and support.
If it's a 3rd party or Apple, bring it back.

Iphoto not working with screen saver

Ever since I upgrade to 10.6.2, my screen saver will not allow me to use pictures in iphoto. When I click on a folder to use, it gives me a message "unable to use iphoto please contact vendor for screen saver upgrade" or very close to that. HUH? Isn't apple my vendor for both? Any ideas on how to go back to using my photos as my screen saver?

My guess is that ILMediaBrowser is referring to the iLife Media Browser. You might run Software Update and see if you somehow missed an update to it. However, if it worked with a new iPhoto Library I think the iLife Media Browser is probably OK, but there is something funky in the innards of your original iPhoto Library that is crashing the Media Browser.
You could try holding the Command and Option keys down, then launch iPhoto from the Applications folder. Keep holding the keys until it asks you if you want to rebuild. There are list of items to be checked, click on the ones that sound likely to help matters.

Lightening to HDMI not working after recent update

I recently updated my Ipad and now my Lightening to HDMI adapter does not seem to work. It was working fine up until the most recent update. I know that the HDMI cable works and all the other connections are fine b/c it works fine when plugged into our blu-ray player.
Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone know how to fix this issue?

What recent update? The last Epson R220 update for non intel Macs was 08/19/10: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=60202&prodoid=58654 761&BV_UseBVCookie=yes&infoType=Downloads&platform=Macintosh&x=21&y=13
What happens when you click on the EPSON Printer Utility which should be inside the Utility folder? Have you tried repairing permissions and restarting your computer? Have you read Epson's user manual and/or contacted their tech support?
I also have the R220 model. Besides using their drivers, I also use the Gimp drivers: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php

Re: Satellite A200-1BQ, not responding after screen saver

Hi, I have a Satellite A200, Windows 7 32 bits OS. When running the screen saver the PC stop responding. Have to switch of because no response.
If you have report the some problem please send.

Hi
Does this mean that Windows 7 hangs and does not response only when the screen saver has been enabled?
Did you notice the same issue using Win XP or Win Vista?
If not then this notebook behavior could be related only to Win 7 and I think it could caused by graphic card driver
Remove the graphic driver which you have installed and test the screen saver using the windows 7 common driver
It would be interesting to know what happens

Linux logfile monitoring does not work after using "privileged datasource"

Hello!
I have noticed a strange behaviour on one of my Linux Agents (lets call it server_a) regarding logfile monitoring with the "Microsoft.Unix.SCXLog.Datasource" and the "Microsoft.Unix.SCXLog.Privileged.Datasource".
After successfully testing monitoring of /var/log/messages on server_a with the "Privileged Datasource". This test has been on server_a and the MP containing this rule has been delete from the management gorup before the following tests.
I wanted to test another logfile (lets call it logfile_a) using the normal datasource "Microsoft.Unix.SCXLog.Datasource" on server_a. So I created the usual logfile rule (rule_a) in XML (which I have done countless times before) for monitoring
logfile_a. Logfile_a has been created by the "Linux Action Account User" with reading rights for everyone. After importing the Management Pack with the monitoring for logfile_a I had the following warning alert in the scom console managing
server_a:
Fehler beim Überprüfen der Protokolldatei "/home/ActionAccountUser/logfile_a" auf dem Host "server_a" als Benutzer "<SCXUser><UserId>ActionAccountUser</UserId><Elev></Elev></SCXUser>";
An internal error occurred. (the userid has been changed to keep the anonimity of our action account).
To make sure I did not make any mistakes in the XML i have created a new logfile rule (rule_b) monitoring "logfile_b" on "server_a" using the "Logfile Template" under the authoring tab. logfile_b was also created by the "Linux
Action Account User" and had reading rights for everyone. Unfortunately this logfile rule created the same error:
Fehler beim Überprüfen der Protokolldatei "/home/ActionAccountUser/logfile_b" auf dem Host "server_a" als Benutzer "<SCXUser><UserId>ActionAccountUser</UserId><Elev></Elev></SCXUser>";
An internal error occurred. (the userid has been changed to keep the anonimity of our action account).
Although both rules (rule_a and rule_b) used the "Microsoft.Unix.SCXLog.Datasource" which uses the Action Account for monitoring logfiles, the above error looks to me as SCOM wants to use the privileged user, which in this case it not necessary
as the Action Account can read logfile_a and logfile_b without any problems.
So after a few unsuccessfull tries to get both rules to raise an alert I tried to use the "Microsoft.Unix.SCXLog.Privileged.Datasource" for rule_a as last resort. Then suddenly after importing the updated Management Pack I finally received the
alert I desperately waited for this whole time.
Finally after lot of text here are my questions:
Could it be that the initial test with the Privileged Log Datasource somehow screwed up the agent on server_a so it could not monitor logfiles with the standard log datasource? Or may anyone of you might have an idea what went wrong here.
Like I said both logfile could be accessed and changed by the normal Action Account without any problems. So privileged right are not needed. I even restarted the scom agent in case something hanged.
I hope I could make the problm clear to you. If not, don´t hesitate to ask any questions.
Thank you and kind regards,
Patrick

Hello!
After all that text, I fogrot the most essential information..

Strangely I could not acces the "Action Account User" directory under /var/opt/microsoft/scx/log as "ActionAccount" user. Is it ok for the directory to have the following rights: drwx------ 2 1001 users? Instead of "1001" it should say "ActionAccount",
right?
This could be a bit far fetched, but perhaps the logfile provider can´t access logfiles as the "ActionAccount" on this server because it needs to write in the scx.log file. But as the "ActionAccount" can´t access the file, the logfile provider throws
an error. And as "Privileged Account" the rule works flawlessly, as the logfile provider running in root context can access everything.
Don´t know if that makes sense, but right now it sounds logical to me.
