Anyone have 2 monitors running from a 120GT?

Since tonight, I've got a 20" ACD connected next to my 30" one.
Even when I'm just browsing (no pages with Flash) and having Adium and iTerm open, the fan on the card is making annoyingly loud whining noises.
It wasn't when just the 30" ACD was connected.
Could having two screens connected lead to such an increase in temperature on the card that it needs to do this? Do other cards have this same issue?

The 30 inch display is so wide that the data rates required to keep it refreshed are outrageously large. Instead, these displays are divided into two halves. The data for each half are sent simultaneously on a different set of pins on the DVI connector. This is called "dual link", and requires cables with all pins populated (as opposed to the "ordinary" DVI connectors that have the center section of the pin grid missing).
I would not be surprised if supporting a dual link display takes a toll on the card in terms of heat generated.
You may be better served in the long run by:
a) getting a smaller large-display that does not use "dual link", or
b) getting an additional display card.

  • Does anyone have three monitors working?

    A friend of mine who enjoys the piece of mind of using Linux, but not the poking and prodding recently "inherited" a good monitor in addition to the two he already had.
    He has two Nvidia cards. One came with the computer and has one out while the other card is much nicer and has dual outputs.
    Has anyone gotten three monitors to work in Linux? I googled, but it seems that most of the things I read are from 2004-ish, and it wasn't so good back then.

    AFAIK
    one screen on the old card, one screen with 2 monitors on the new one and in the ServerLayout section you declare both screens ala
    Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "MEGAMONITORZ"
    Screen "OldScreen"
    Screen "NewScreen" LeftOf "OldScreen"

  • Anyone have experience moving files from an iPad to a Mac?

    Dear Folks,
    I need a way to transfer files from my iPad to my Mac, to deal with the content (music and videos right now, but probably other types of files in the future) that iTunes doesn't back up. I've come across two programs that supposedly will let me mount an iPad on the Mac desktop and/or allow me to transfer files from it to my Mac. Deggie and dwb also know of several and have kindly mentioned them. So, I'm considering:
    IMToo Podworks for Mac (http://www.imtoopodworks.com/pod-works-mac.html)
    Air Sharing HD (http://avatron.com/apps/air-sharing-hd/)
    Senuti (http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/)
    Yamipod (http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/)
    iRip (http://thelittleappfactory.com/irip/)
    Does anyone reading this have an opinion on (or experience with) how well any of these work?
    Free vs fee isn't an issue for me, how well it functions is.
    Thanks!

    I can tell you with certainty that for documents of any kind "GoodReader" is an excellent app. It will let you connect to your mac via wi-fi. It mounts it as an external drive and you can create folders and drag files to the folders.
    I haven't tried dragging any movies or music but there wouldn't be anything to stop you from doing so. There is also a file management component to the app that lets you choose an "Open with ... " type of dialog and open a file with pages if it is a .doc file, or GoodReader can open pdf, doc, xls and many other doc types.
    Very happy with this .99 cent app. I agree with the other question though. If I rip a dvd, I use handbrake to convert to mp4 and add to my iTunes - then sync as per normal.

  • Anyone have macbook pro running hot?

    I have a early 2009 Macbook Pro that appears to run extremely HOT, unless I unplug the power block.
    Any one have this problem? Im thinking its the power block?

    While it is charging and very hot do the following.
    Open the Terminal app - it is in your Mac's Utilities folder and looks like this
    Select the entire line that follows (triple-click to select it), select Edit > Copy, and then Paste it into the Terminal window:
    pmset -g sysload;pmset -g batt
    Drag your cursor from the point at which you pasted that command all the way to the end, and copy the text. Paste it in a reply.

  • Hi. Anyone have a problem running a 4g stick through a usb port on a MacBook Air running Mavericks? Did you fix it? If so, how? Thanks.

    I can run everything through the usb port, including another manufacturer's 4G stick. The 4G stick that doesnt work on my Air works on my son's. The only difference I can find? Mavericks!

    whats it formatted as?    Alas junker thumb drives fall like rain everywhere.
    Do you have another stick / thumb drive you can verify your USB port with?
    Stick with Sandisk or otherwise reputable  memory sticks for your Macbook.
    What do you mean by "another manufacturer"?  Apple doesnt make thumb drives, .....no computer mfg. makes them, however HP has their name on one

  • Leopard Server beta testers:  Anyone have it actually working?

    I am beta testing Leopard Server 10 client version for only $499.
    Anyone have Leopard Server running without problems?
    Just want to know if anyone out there has gotten server to work for them?
    Thanks

    I gave Leopard server a try today. Here's my experience:
    I use SoftRaid 3.6.4 as the raid driver on my G4 XServe with 4 ATA drives in the server and two external FireWire drives. Two of the internal drives are one Raid 0 volume and the 10.4 boot drive.
    I used SuperDuper to make a backup image of my OS X Server boot drive, which is one logical volume on two physical disks.... in a RAID 0 configuration internal drives on the XServe. The backup is a single disk in a firewire external Granite enclosure. I booted from the cloned copy and ran for a while just to make sure the clone was good. No problems yet.
    I then booted the Leopard Server CD and was able to do an UPGRADE install on the external firewire drive image. This process went smoothly with no problems.
    Unfortunately, Leopard server is another story. The upgraded system isn't doing well: I couldn't get Apple Remote desktop from my laptop to connect to Leopard nor was I able to get the IMAP email server to work. Client machines just sat and "spinned" trying to make a connection. Had to monkey around with permissions to get 10.5 web pages working using Safari running on the Server. These pages worked perfectly on 10.4 with the same permissions. When trying to access the web pages from a client on the same subnet, was unable to connect. Web services were running fine and the firewall settings seemed OK so I'm not sure what is going on. So I powered down the external drive and will wait a and think about trying the upgrade again. Kind of wasted 4 or 5 hours today hoping this upgrade would be smoother.
    I'll probably start over and do a clean install and export and import settings to 10.5. Not a particularly fun prospect.....
    Leopard client was a simple process to move from 10.4 to 10.5. Leopard Server looks like a lot of work and hassle to me at this time.

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.

    I have followed the Apple Support instructions but these 2 errors always appear: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer" and 'Error 7' but still not able to run iTunes. Anyone have a suggestion?

    Try completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all related components; you may need to do this multiple times. It won't normally affect the iTunes library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Has anyone had deleted photo's from months ago reappear? I have a 3gs running iso4

    Has anyone had deleted photo's from months ago reappear? I have a 3gs running iOS 4.3.2

    Justin,
    Ok, if that's the way it works that's the way it works. Atleast until you suggest a feature change and it gets reprogrammed. And an option (other than the SHOW DATE/SHOW TIME) is not necessary, just the time showing WHEN the channel info disappears.
    I have also seen and heard what looks like RF interference. A small amount of line noise (a couple partial lines only) and crackling that does not happen all the time. Is it possible that some device or appliance in my house or the houses on either side of my home can cause RF interference with the FIOS equipment??
    As for the issue with the guide, IMHO that sux! Basically you are telling me I am forced to pay an extra $8/month just to have the channel guide? Even with basic Cable (Time Warner) a guide was available! How about a guide channel like TWC

    Justin wrote:
    1) That is the way it works. There is no option to change this, other than the option to display either the channel number or the time. Actually the time is displayed once the channel is changed when the time in the STB reaches the next minute, so the delay can be very short or up to one minute.
    2) Most of the time I do not see the flash or hear the pop. But occasionally I do, on any channel change, SD or HD. I have never been able to figure out what causes it to start doing that, or what causes it to stop. It starts, does it for a while, and then I realize it is no longer doing it.
    3) No Guide on the DCT-700. Plus no VOD, widgets, or HD. If you want the Guide, you have to get one of the 6xxx or 7xxx STBs.

    Always backup your important data before upgrading to a new Mac OS X.
    Lion doesn't erase the drive but better to be safe than sorry.
    And run Disk Utility  (Applications/Utilities). Verify and if necessary repair the startup disk before upgrading.
    Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    If your computer isn't compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion. 
    Computer Compatibility - Lion
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.      
    Application Compatibility
    You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.
