Another Magnetic Case Thread

So, I see that several people have asked about the cases with magnets causing problems. The resounding answer seems to be no, so I'm looking for some theories on what might be going on with my touch. I got a leather case that has two magnets on the side to keep it closed, instead of the bottom (as most of the threads seem to deal with). I put my touch in there and a few hours later, it wouldn't come on. I had to reset or whatever they call it when you hold down both the power and home buttons. This happened several times. I charged it, did all the "r"s except a complete restore and it seemed to be ok. That was late at night, so I only tested it for a few minutes, then went to bed. The next morning (this past Tuesday), I was trying to use it and kept having similar problems, only now I would sometimes just get a white screen. I took the case off and left it off. It is now late Wednesday night. I have had my touch out of the case with the magnet for about a day and a half and I haven't had one problem. I didn't do anymore resetting, restoring, etc. It just started functioning normally again. I plan to test the case again tomorrow, but wonder if there are any thoughts on what might have happened. I wondered if maybe the magnet near the WiFi was causing problems in it which was affecting my touch. So, thanks for the input and I'll make a note when I finally get it back in the magnetic case!

AAPL, I saw your response in another thread speaking of how you showed people at college things that magnets did not mess up, but supposedly were supposed to, such as floppy disks, etc. Based on that, I was hoping that you would catch this thread and offer some insight. I'm afraid that I still believe that the magnets are the trouble makers. I know that on the DLO case, the magnets are at the bottom. My case is not the same. The magnets are on the left side at the top and bottom. In addition to my husband putting the case and having the exact same problem, I tried it again. After seeing your response, I put the case back on. FIVE minutes later, I had the exact same problems. iPod wouldn't come on. When it did, I had a flickering screen, then the Apple. I haven't had any trouble with my touch since I took it out of the case Tuesday morning. Now, on Thursday morning, I tried the case again, and voila! Problems. And as soon as I took it out of the case and restarted it, it began functioning as normal. How do you explain that? (That isn't supposed to sound smart alec, but truly curious!) The rest of the case is just leather. I know that isn't causing problems. To me, it is obviously something about the case, so I think that it must be the magnets. Thanks!

Magnetic case for iPad 2

Any known issues with using a case with a magnetic closure for an iPad 2?

there is a small magnet on the right side of the iPad near the edge of the screen, this is used with another magnet in the iPad 2 cover to lock the ipad.
I sometimes have problem with the magnet in the case hitting the back of the ipad under were the magnet is on the right, this too can also lock it
If this helps?

The iPad Case Thread

With the iPad out less than a month, it's surprising to see how many cases are out there. Unfortunately, most cases are not available in stores, so it's hard to get a read on them. iLounge.com did a great review of many of the cases. I thought an iPad case thread would give us an opportunity to share out thoughts with the cases we have purchased, what we like, what we dislike.
I'll go first:
I decided that I didn't want a portfolio type...I prefer my iPad "naked" in my hands. To protect it, I used the Bodyguardz front/back/sides protector. The back give me just enough grip to reduce the slipperyness of the iPad. For a case, bought the Waterfield Designs Slip Case (sfbags.com). It is a snug fit, nicely lined with a plastic "shield" built in to prevent damage to the screen. If provides great protection and can slip into a brief case, shoulder bag, etc. I'm very happy with it...it's well made and great customer service. In addition, their site shows videos of each bag so you can seen them in action.
Anyone else buy a case they like/dislike? Let's hear it....

I think the problem with the iPad accessories in general is A) the lack of hands -n availability of the cases and B) Not knowing how to treat the iPad and C) the size of the unit requires more raw material and thus higher prices and probably less profit margin. Its not a phone, not a touch, not a notebook, not a tablet pc.......its a hybrid of its own. I don't even think the manufacturers of these cases are hip to what the case should be like. Thats going to take some time in my opinion.
_*CASE MATE:*_
I tried the "Gelli" Case from Case-Mate for $39.99 with free shipping from case-mate.com. Its one of the most attractive case I have seen but it didnt improve the feel of the iPad in my hands. It was almost an extension of the slippery feel of the naked iPad. I kept it for 3 weeks to really make sure I didnt like it. And its not so much that I didnt like it, but I also didnt love it. I have returned it for a refund. Again, its a well made and attractive case, its just not for me. I WISH they would make a Barely-There line for the iPad as I have them for my iPod Touch.

HDACCESSORY:
I also ordered a leather folio from HD ACCESSORY.com for $29.95 plsu $8.00 shipping. My hopes were to have a leather carry case for meetings and the like. I looked at the apple case, the other cases from incase and the like, but each one had a "fatal flaw" of one kind or another for me. So I ordered the leather folio from HDA as mentioned above. It arrived last weekend and was a disappointment. The "straps" wouldnt hold the iPad in place, and there was glue on the inside "suede" lining, very unprofessional. I have since shipped it back and am hoping for a full refund.

BELKIN:
Last weekend I was at Best Buy and found a Belkin "Grip Swell" (cute name) and purchased it for $49.99 + tax (yikes!). Its soft and "grippy" , perhaps not quite as "grippy" as I would prefer, but I still like the case. It improves the experience of the iPad as a case should. I have opted to keep it despite the high cost of the unit.
+BELKIN LINK+: http://belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=509996
*_INCASE SLEEVE:_* I looked at this one in Best Buy but at $39.95 (I passed on it). That said, its extremely well made and the material inside the unit is SO SOFT. I ended up ordering an InCase Netbook Sleeve (INCL57365) which will fit the iPad for $22.20 dollars shipped from B+H Camera. It should arrive any day now.
+INCASE LINK+: http://goincase.com/products/detail/neoprene-sleeve-plus-cl57474
CASE LOGIC NETBOOK ESLING: I saw a YouTube review for this a week or so ago. Its a nice netbook carry bag that retails for $34.99 or higher. I got it at my local Best Buy for $7.99 (I think they are closing it out for the new model). What a steal!
+Case Logic YouTube Link+ - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hIyk1I2Ieg
I also looked at the following cases:
*Apple Case* - This was the first case I considered, but I have seen more negative than positive reviews on it. Seems awkward to me.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC361ZM/A?fnode=MTc0MjU2Mjc&mco=MTc0Njk0ODM
*InCase Convertible Book Jacket* - Not sure all that FOLDING of the case would be good long term.
http://goincase.com/products/detail/CL57512/5
*Marware Eco Flip* - I felt the hand-sleeve would end up getting too loose. I wonder how well the stand works as well.
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/marware-eco-vue-for-ipad/
In closing, my DREAM case would be something like a leather folio with the ability to have a SKIN case (like the Belkin) while using the folio.
Hope this helps someone.

Yet another grey folder thread, help!

Sorry for yet another grey folder thread, but here goes:
Today, earlier, installed Firefox update, along with some addon updates for that program. Quit Firefox and attempt to relaunch, relaunch fails. Reset computer, thinking that will do the trick, I now have grey folder with question mark.
Resolve attempts: reset pram = fail; apple care cd = will not launch/fail; disk utility from original install disks = fail; cannot get repair of disk or permissions to work, continually get error about "failing on exit"; safe mode launch = fail
So, I've done everything, and I've come to conclusion that I am f***, and my HDD is fried (but I hope I am wrong).
So, dear gurus, my question(s)
A) Is my HDD salvageable at all? is there some trick to getting the AppleCare cd to work? Anything?!?!
if not, then B) How can I recover my documents/music/pictures? Long story short, there are several things on there that never had a chance to make my back up schedule, and I desperately want to keep them. Any way to make/copy a disk image to save the docs/imgs, or Firewire them to an external hdd? Do I need to consider a professional HDD rescue?

Looks like a mechanical failure, and Apple won't cover the replacement due to a drop it sustained a year or two ago (the power cable was in, and it fell on the connection point, denting that in, Apple states there is a critical board their and that it would be $950 Tier 3 repair which I can't afford). So I'm going to try a Firewire Migration and a few other things and see if that works. If not, oh well. Thanks everyone for the ideas!

Are magnetic cases safe to use with iPhone?

Are magnetic cases safe to use with the iPhone? I've seen a few 3G cases that have magnetic flaps that look awesome, but I've heard arguments both for and against using them.

I received my SENA magnet-flipper case (croc-black) on Friday, Aug 22 and have had absolutely no issues... also need to mention I was concerned with my 3G over heating keeping it in a case now and again, no issues there... in fact, after removing it from the SENA after two days of being on, my 3G was cool at touch.
I did experience a GPS search issue the day after putting it in the SENA, and three days after updating to r2.0.2 and originally thought the "magnets" interfered with my signal reception as some reported.. but when I took my 3G out of the case and experienced the same search and location issues (not to mention APPLE validating GPS map issues on 2.0.2 today), I am convinced the "magnet's" on the SENA case do not create problems. The magnets on the SENA case are quite small; powerful, as in you can't shake the case and the flap fall's away... and they are inconspicuous to the eye.

Can anyone help?? Another new MacPro thread....

Hi all.
Another person here having big issues with PP CC 2014 on the new MacPro..
A little background;
I've been having issues with PP for years. Previously I was a photographer, and Lightroom was my software of choice. That was a great Adobe experience, pretty faultless software really...
Then when I moved to video it was a different story... obviously it's a whole different ballgame dealing with video files, I've not had much luck with my editing workflow!
I was working off an underpowered PC first, then was on a few Macbook Pros. Eventually, I got the go ahead to get a new MacPro from my employer, I thought that would solve all my problems! How wrong I was!
Even after the apparent "fix" for the GPU issues, I'm still having problems...
I'm no Adobe basher....No one wants PP to work well more than me (Al Mooney got highly offended on Twitter after I suggested PP might be slightly less than perfect!)
I'm hoping I might get some tips to improve performance or even a fix for the issues I'm having.
Here's the gist of my specs, can give more if needed;
Yosemite 10.10.2 (14C109)
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
My main drive is a G RAID 8GB TB2
So,
My main issue is that when a sequence gets more complex, the performance dips massively, to the point where it's unusable and crashes constantly.
The timeline freezes, the playhead is laggy, the system gets really slow to respond in general..... Maybe 15 seconds for the keyboard to respond to keypresses. (or else I need to tap spacebar twice instead of once to get it to respond). If I try to make any change on the timeline that anything more than a simple delete etc, the system can freeze and I need to force quit.
Another symptom is that when quitting the program, often it doesn't quit properly and I need to force quit.
The sequences I'm working on don't seem that demanding (especially give the machine I have) so it's really confusing as to what the issue is.
We're talking videos usually in the 2 -5 minutes range. Maybe 4 video layers. Footage wise; generally 1080p XAVC from a Sony F5, some Canon 4K from a 1DC. Can PP really handle native footage, should I be transcoding??? One of the big benefits of PP is the apparent ability to handle native formats, so it's really disappointing if that's the issue....
I do use a reasonable amount of plugins, like Izotope for denoising dialogue, the dreaded Red Giant plugins, and occasionally Red Giant Denoiser (is this the root of my problems??!). My current project has two layers keyed interviews (2 angles) and I'm using Ultrakey for that. (I bought Red Giant Primatte Keyer, but my system isn't powerful enough to run it without major issues....ridiculous!!)
If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them. I've read other threads but my issue seems different. I can't rule out that I'm making some obvious mistake in my workflow either... so any general workflow best practise tips in that regard would be good too.
Sorry for the long thread and thanks for reading.

Hi healyb2,
Sorry you're experiencing this issue.
I think I've identified one of the issues, Izotope 4 Dialogue Denoiser.....
I've disabled it on an existing sequence and the crashes have stopped (for now).
Let us know if these issues crop up again. You can let us know directly here: http://adobe.ly/ReportBug
So, possibly (like Red Giant) Izotope plugins may not work usably in Premiere Pro....... which really grinds my gears......
Actually, we work hand in hand with plug-ins developers in the realm of compatibility. Some of these plug-ins companies are quite small so you have to pay close attention to precisely what is supported for the host application. In some cases, it takes some time to catch up to the latest versions.
why are Adobe not calling out the plugins as not usable? What about the plugin manufacturers themselves? I can't see this being a performance issue on my end...frustrating!
That's actually up to the plug-ins manufacturers. Please communicate with them accordingly regarding compatibility. Sorry for any confusion this may have brought about.
Thanks,
Kevin

Magnetic cases...any problems with iPhone 3GS

It seems that most horizontal cases that are any decent have magnetic closures. Does this damage the iPhone or weaken the signal while in the case?
I am looking at the Nite Ize Executive case and it states it uses a "High performance neodynium magnet closure."
http://www.niteize.com/productdetail.php?categoryid=27&productid=181
Any help would be great.

There have been several threads discussing cases with magnets causing problems. Additionally, neodymium is the strongest known magnet material. With those two in mind, it's possible that you'll have problems with this case.

Yet another iPhone WiFi thread - cannot connect to some OPEN networks

I make no apologies in starting another thread about iPhone WiFi connectivity. Judging by the number of references to WiFi issues in this forum, as well as on the Internet generally, this is a big issue with many users and yet there seems very little acknowledgement by Apple that there is problem.
In my case I have a first generation iPhone which works well on most WiFi networks, both open and closed, including my secured network at home, but cannot connect properly with some open networks. I have had this problem while using 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1 firmware.
Sometimes I get the "Cannot Connect ..." message and sometimes I am able to connect and obtain a good signal and see an IP Address and a Subnet mask, but no Router or DNS address.
I'll repeat that I talking about open networks, so there is no password issue. In one local cafe, I am unable to connect to a network that I used to be able to connect to routinely. I have talked to the owner, who is another Mac and iPhone user and he assures me that he has not changed any router settings.
Can anyone offer any suggestions beyond the usual re-setting and re-booting options? Is there something about iPhone MAC addresses or the WiFi signal that certain routers don't like?
Simon

This is not a solution to your problems but:
1- Expecting someone from Apple to respond here is a vain hope. This is a discussion forum for users and you can only expect responses from users. Talk to Apple tech support if you want a response from them.
2- I saw an item on an iPhone blog page somewhere yesterday saying that Apple was now replacing iPhones with this issue if you took it to an Apple store. Don't know if it's true but it also had a workaround that you could use for your own home network if you were having problems—and I am—and that workaround basically worked for me.
I turned wi-fi off on the phone and opened Airport Utility on my iMac. I turned wi-fi security OFF and then tried to connect. I actually got a connection straight away, and I noted down the IP addresses and subnet mask data from the DHCP screen in the iPhone's wi-fi network info screen. I then restored wi-fi security on my iMac. Of course that restarts the router and I lost my connection and when it started up again, the IP addresses had changed but the subnet mask had not. I swapped to the Static screen instead of the DHCP screen and edited all 3 IP addresses. That got me my connection back and it has continued to work throughout today. That's the best result I've had so far.
It seems to me that my iPhone has problems picking up the network data from my home network and I don't know why that is. I was at a friend's last night and tried to connect to his system and it connected straight away. I assume there's something about my settings which is problematic but I don't know what it is but at least now I have a workaround.
It's possible that something similar is going on for you with the public networks you're having problems with but, unfortunately, the workaround I tried won't work for you in a public network so that's probably not much help.
You could try taking your phone to an Apple Store and seeing if they exchange it. The blog I read suggested the magic words were "hardware problem". In my case I don't think it's a hardware problem but it may be in yours.

Another SLOW Lightroom Thread

Just another thread to document the major issues I'm having with Lightroom 4.
System: Dell Studio XPS running Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel i7-720QM, 8 GB RAM 1333MHz, 500 GB HD, ATI Radeon 4670 1GB with Wacom Intuos 5
Working in the Develop module has been completely unacceptable and is costing me hours of editing time and frustrating, which means its costing me money. Everything from navigating between photos to adjusting slider bars seems to be laggy to put it lightly. After using the Adjustment Brush, making universal changes is taking forever! And if I got back to create an additional adjustment with the Adjustment Brush tool, it's almost not even worth it because it is so slow to respond. Similar to the slow downs after using the Adjustment Brush tool, any changes made after making any adjustments in the Lens Correction tab seem to be super sluggish as well. Oh top of it all, my computer is running extremely hot when running Lightroom, which ever occured in past versions!
I've tried several suggestions that I've seen in forums, such as creating a fresh Catalog and importing the files directly into that new Catalog, hiding the Histogram to free up resources, reducing the size of the Catalog to just the working set I'm currently working on... I've now installed the 4.1 RC and do seem to see some increase in response with the sliders within the develop module, but once I start using the Adjustment Brush and Lens Correction, it seems to be back to it's sluggish self. And after editing a few photos, the entire program is crawling.
I think it's great that Adobe has such a strong following that people seem to be so understanding and patient about these issues, but find it unacceptable that such an unpolished release was issued to the public. If the issues are eventually remedied I will be fully on board with Lightroom, once again, because I do think that the revamped develop module has been a major improvement for editing and workflow, but all those improvements are pretty useless when I'm losing so many hours battling with performance issues.

No changes, nothing at all, in actual fact I don't even have a PC connected to this broadband line it's purely for the games consoles. I have a separate broadband line for my home office etc.
Just had a call from BT India, with out wishing to sound derogatory I might as well talk to my pet cat. Apparently they were ringing to see if the problem had been resolved, I only reported it 2 hrs ago.

Yet another colour management thread

Here is a warm, saturated image worked on in lightroom, converted to adobe RGB on export, converted to SRGB on output from photoshop. (srg profile not embedded).
Its far too saturated and red
Here is the same image with the adobe rgb tagged.
and as srg with the profile embedded.
Now my understanding is that in IE all of these will display the same (and they do, i've tested it), and they all look like the oversaturated red one. I also understand that the gamut of your monitor will affect just how red they actually appear.
Windows also displays them all the same - the uber red version.
So the question is - how the frick are we supposed to supply these to our clients? Bearing in mind they all have different monitors, browsers, OS's. I've just had the client on the phone complaining about the saturation and it just sounds like so much ******** waffling about gamut and colour managed browsers.
Are you to just avoid warm saturated images? Is there an application that we can distribute with the images that will display them correctly? Because if I leave them on a DVD I have no control over what viewer will mangle the colour management.
I'd love some feedback on how other photographers deal with this issue.
EDIT: and joy of joys, adobe obviously strips out the colour managment when these are posted - because the 2nd two look correct in the edit window, but the same as the first when I post it

I clearly see the differences in you screen shot, although my version of IE seems to obey the color profiles I embed in our imagery.
I deal with color management like others in this thread - I use calibrated monitors, I profile using sRGB (the lowest common denominator tag for general digital distribution IMO) and advise my clients to do the same (calibrate!). Some commercial clients require CMYK, in that case I edit completly in sRGB and only convert to CMYK when creating final delivery imagery. I use Adobe PS default CMYK settings and I specify this up front in contractual agreements. I have yet to get many complaints that cannot be explained by failure to understand the huge variations in hardware and software that a viewer of digital images might encounter. This allows me to do the best I can and you gotta just let the rest go .

Sort of looks like hardware issues to me. Do you know that the drive works (i.e. tested in another OS, or it used to work and just stopped?)
Did you try just mplayer dvd:// ? That's quite a long options list you've got there.
What kind of drive is it?

I have a iPhone 4S, is any data magnetically stored on it? The reason I'm asking is i would like to purchase a magnetic case to hold my phone on the tank of my motorcycle. The case says do not use if information is magnetically stored.

I have an iPone4S 64GB and a 2 yr. old iPod Touch 32 GB and wish to use a case with magnets in it to hold them to the tank of my motorcycle.
The cases' data sheet says do not use if the device stores information magnetically.
Not being tech savey I don't know if either or both the iphone and ipod store data magnetically? Does anyone else?

The data is not stored magnetically.

Magnetic case included w/ MuVo S

According to the manual the unit should not come in close contact with magnets, however the case contains 2 magnets....is this safe?

Ahagan,
Yes, they present no danger as they are too small.

Another Career Advice thread

Hi All, I just have a bit of a career question/rant. I'm hoping some of the more experienced members may be able to guide me.
It seems to me that there are two general "streams" or career paths that a database developer can go down. One can become a BI specialist and work with data warehouses and the ETL processes that come with it, or one can become an expert in transactional processing with high-volume OLTP systems.
I'm at the stage in my career (having been an oracle developer for 9 years) where I'm actively trying to get the illustrious "investment bank contract". However I'm butting my head against what seem to be (to me, at the moment) unreasonable requirements.
I regularly see in job advertisements, statements like "must have experience working in a large commercial environment with 5Tb+ OLTP systems", "experience with High volume OLTP systems essential" and the incredibly restrictive: "Must have prior investment banking experience".
I understand that there is business reasons for wanting to have someone with prior investment banking experience, but my (potentially ignorant) rant is that the coding methodologies for "high-volume" OLTP systems should be the same as "lower-volume" ones. You write the code to the best of your ability and ensure that it is efficient as possible, you keep abreast of the latest additions to PL/SQL and you use all the tools oracle provides as appropriate. As far as I can see, there is no magic wand that instantly makes a programmer "able" to deal with high volume systems.
An example of a question that frustrates me: my friend (a java programmer) asked me "so if you had a large volume web-driven transactional environment and you needed to ensure that the code was running as efficiently, what techniques would you use". I was speechless, I answered that I couldn't possibly know what techniques to use without seeing the architecture and knowing the data. He tried to prompt me for just examples and I hesitantly spouted off things like "pipelined table functions", "query tuning" and "bulk processing techniques" etc. I felt it was like asking a builder "if you had to build a building, what tools would you use?"..."a spade?, a jackhammer? a bobcat?, blasting equipment? Nails? Hammer?" What's appropriate for the job. they're all just tools and it will depend on if you're building a skyscraper or a cubby house for someone's kid....
When I get asked "have you created tables before?" at job interviews I tend to look at the interviewer incredulously and say "yes...." waiting for a follow on question and possibly it comes across as hesitation, when they don't follow up or just say "oh, good" I think to myself "of course I have you moron, I wouldn't be much of a database developer if I hadn't", . But I feel like an idiot putting "have created tables, indexes, constraints" on my CV, in just the same way a builder would feel if he put "have hammered nails, screwed screws and cut wood" on their CV. But apparently it is something recruiters want to see?
...and so my question is: what's so special about high volume systems? What esoteric coding methodologies am I missing? I guess, more to the point: What skills do I need to demonstrate to a potential interviewer and on my CV?
Back to the builder analogy: "oh yes, I'm very good at using a spade and I've used a hammer for over 10 years and know some very good hammering techniques. I'm also have experienced of using a nail gun and a saw." What am I missing here?

Quick one.
With 9 (continuos) years of development, I think you should not be scared of those adverts as long as you have the technical experience. The business or banking knowledge will come on the job. The recruiters post what they have been given from a list of generic requirements. At some places, they will ask you in details. At some, they will not.
On Sector knowledge, it is required in most cases, but if a manager wants to give you a start, then they will not bother once you have the experince. They are stated as beginners. No one was born on the job.
One simple Q&As. The questions are asked to test your ability to respond to requests or tasks. For instance, just answering "Yes" to answer "Have you created a table before", is not enough. I already know that after 9 years, you have created tables, but I would like you to follow it up with an example and a project scenario.
Another reason I would ask you "what is a table" is to test your patience. We always think is is an insult to be asked cheap questions in an interview, but your to-be manager would like to know how you would support and react your users/clients when they are those common simply end-user questions.
High volumes of data requires high efficiency processing. Fora instance, your friend wanted to know what you will put in place to ensure efficiency of a "web-driven transactional environment". One simple clue (out of many) is that the user at the Web front end wants to see the data as quickly as possible. So if I have 1000 rows to retrieve on the screen, I do not want to wait to see the 1000 at the same time. I want to see it 100 rows at a time. So at the database level (of session) I can use FIRST_ROWS to tell optimizer to get things fast, set arraysize to 100, create my screen to show 100 rows and provide a Next button. This is one simple answer to let them know that you have an idea. Later you can research the harder ones.
So, if you see the advert, go for it. Just let them know that you are willing to learn the business sector part of things on the job.
Goodluck

Another T60 help thread

Ok, so I have quite a few issues.
I have:
-T60 200749U - Windows 7- 2GB - Dual HDD
-Advanced Dock 2503 - ATI Radeon HD 5450
Now lets tend to the most annoying issue I have.
Ever since I got this thing the headphone jack has not worked properly.
It didn't work when I ran XP, it worked when I ran Vista but only when the switch in the lower left was to the left., now on 7 Ethernet and Headphone ports don't work.
Anyhelp with this would make me a happy guy.
The next thing has to do with my Dock situation.
I got my Advanced dock and installed a ATI graphics card with it.
Now I installed the driver for the card and Catalyst control center changed the settings in BIOS.
All is working fine, I have aero and great picture when plugged into the dock.
Now my issue is that when I am not on the dock I am stuck with Windows basic (which I hate) because I don't have the drivers for the X1300.
Before I installed catalyst and the drivers for the dock's card I had aero running just fine.
I found and tried installing the legacy drivers for the X1300 but that has an old version of Catalyst that doesn't support my Dock's card.
VGA out on the laptop itself no longer works either.
I have a desktop gadget that recognizes the GPU but windows doesn't
I have tried everything I can think of and after 5 system restores and a ton of searching I have had no luck.
Please help.
I had another question but forgot it.
Anyhelp is appreciated and thanks to you all in advance.
