External display's brightness can no longer be controlled with external keyboard in 10.8.2

I can no longer control external display's brightness with external keyboard.
Until now my external keyboard controlled external display's brightness and MBPr's keyboard MBPr's brightness. Now the only way of changing external display's brightness is via Display preferences which is cumbersome
Is there any way of going to pre 10.8.2 settings?

I noticed that the keyboard and tablet were'nt working when plugged into a usb hub or monitor usb port. I had to plug in the keyboard and tablet into a mbp usb port where they worked. For some reason, after plugging them back into the usb hub they worked again. Could just be dumb luck though.

Using VISA Resource control with Windows 7 64-bit

Hi.
My company recently upgraded our laptops, and I'm now working on Windows 7 64-bit rather than Windows XP 32-bit. I reinstalled LabVIEW 2009 Base Package, trusting that the Windows 7 64-bit OS would be able to handle LabVIEW 2009 32-bit without problems. But when trying to run our test system, the VISA Resource control doesn't work.
We use it to get a list of the available COM (RS232) ports on the computer. But now the list comes up blank. The only option that comes up in the list, is the text "Refresh". But nothing happens when I press it. Is this a bug in LabVIEW? I've installed the latest patch I found, so now I'm running LabVIEW v9.0f3 (32-bit).
Thanks alot for any and all assistance!
Solved!

Sorry for not replying to you earlier. I've been busy on other projects.
I'm not sure what you refer to with MAX, but I'm able to access the com ports using other tools/loggers. So it's not an issue with Windows 7 itself. But it seems logical that the problem would have something to do with running 32-bit drivers on a 64-bit OS. Referring to this list from NI (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/71E9408E6DEAD76C8625760B006B6F98), I'm downloading the 64-bit installer now.
But if I understand it correctly, you cannot run applications from a 64-bit Application Builder on a 32-bit OS. So basically you need the Application Builder installed on both a 32-bit and 64-bit OS to have all bases covered. But in the FAQ, it's asked if it's possible to have both 32-bit and 64-bit LabVIEW 2009 installed on the same 64-bit OS. Why would this be wanted? If you cannot use the 32-bit Application Builder, and you cannot trust that the 32-bit LabVIEW runs successfully (i.e. driver issues etc.), why would you want to have a 32-bit installation on a 64-bit OS?

Touchsmart 610 no longer has Beats, Brightness Control with Win8 Upgrade

Hello,
When upgrading to Windows 8/8.1 I lost all Beats audio functionality and brightness can no longer be adjusted (there is a brightness slider but it does nothing).
Main Issues Noticed:
-When putting the computer to sleep or shutting down the audio makes a loud "pop" noise even when speakers are muted.
-Beats is gone, can't find any drivers to restore it.
-Brightness cannot be adjusted via brightness control on Win8 nor via system graphics properties.
-610 does not have any physical brightness buttons to adjust.
I have tried restoration to previous configurations, reintalling drivers, etc and nothing has worked so far.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello @EvoGuy,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how your desktop computer no longer has Beats Audio or Brightness Control after upgrading to Windows 8.1, and I would be happy to assist you!
According to the available supported software for your computer, there do not appear to be any available drivers for your Windows 8.1 operating system. If you wish to utilize the features of Beats Audio and the display brightness, I suggest refreshing your system back to Windows 8.
I hope this helps!

Embeddable Report Designer Control with Windows 7

I have a couple of questions.
I am using Crystal Report XI in both Vb6 and VS2005. I am using the COM controls in both. The CRViewer and the Embeddable Report Designer Control. This has been working in XP fine. Not so good in Vista or Windows 7. I am upgrading to Crystal Reports XI R2 Sp6. For viewing reports in VB6 and VS2005 this working fine.
I know that the Embeddable designer no longer exists in future Crystal Report versions or in the .net versions.
In VS2005 the Embeddable Report Designer Control does not work in windows 7.
Is there anything new that needs to be in the code then in the previous versions? What do I need to do to make the Embeddable Report Designer Control work with windows 7 correctly?
Also I will need the merge modules for Crystal Reports XI R2 Sp6 for both the .net and RDC. Are they avalible?
I need to be able to modify reports within the application. My clients have to be able modify existing reports to match state and federal laws and rules.

Crystal Reports XI R2 Sp6 supports WIN 7, so it should work, though as far as I am concerned, the Embeddable Report Designer Control was always flaky. Also, it may be possible (perhaps even likely) that the RDC components were not tested by QA on WIN 7.
What is the actual issue you are seeing? (errors, behavior, etc.)
Are you seeing the issue on a development computer or after you deploy the runtime? I am assuming this is your dev box as you are asking about CR XI SP6 msm files, but I have to be sure.
If at all possible, do not use the RDC in .NET. The RDC was never tested in .NET and thus is not supported. It may work, but using the Embeddable Report Designer Control in .NET gives me the creeps...
See if you can get this to work in VB 6 first. If not, you at least have an escalation path for a fix. You do not have an escalation path with RDC in .NET. Please note that if a fix is accepted by R&D, the usual time frame for release of a fix is 6+ months.
For the future, you will have to look into using the RAS report creation APIs in .NET. This will give you similar report creation abilities at runtime as the Embeddable Report Designer.

Using mini with windows keyboard

If I purchased a mini and used a Windows keyboard, what key would be used in place of the Apple key?

Hi:
A PC keyboard will work fine on the Mini. The Windows key is Command key, and the Alt key is the Options key.
I first tried a Belkin ergonomic PC keyboard that had USB ports on the keyboard. I switched to the Apple keyboard because the Belkin's keys were hard to press, and often the character was missed even though I pressed the key.
While I REALLY prefer the ergonomic style of keyboard, the Apple keyboard does have the volume up/down keys and CD/DVD eject key.

[SOLVED] No brightness control with Intel!

Hi, i bought a new motherboard (Asus Z87-K) and a i7 4770k. In the processor box are witten that it have a Intel HD Graphics 4600 GPU.
I have never used a UEFI motherboard before and i passed all the day trying to configure the UEFI boot! ( im using gummiboot)
With the system instaled, i too installed the xf68 intel drivers. But i realized that that i cant control the brightness. So i tryed to do it mannualy editing the /sys/c ass/backlight/* archive. But in this folder don't have the intel folder, just an acpi_video0 folder, and when i edit it anything happen .
In my older notebook with a intel graphis, just edit the archive are the solution, but now it dont help.
I too tried xbacklight, and i receive the message.
# xbacklight +20%
No outputs have backlight property
The strange thing is that my lscpi output show me this:
$ lscpi | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
I readed something about boot configuration, but im noot using GRUB, and they say to add some paramethers to boot script.
I'm using HDMI!
Right now, anything solved my problem.

Your old computer was a laptop with integrated display, and your new computer is a desktop with external monitor, right? As far as I know, you cannot control a monitor's backlight through a standard video interface. Laptops can use /sys/class/backlight because they have a direct connection to the backlight hardware. If the monitor's built in controls do not lower the brightness sufficiently, then there is not much else you can do. There may be software methods to lower the overall brightness (I know nvidia can do this), but that is not the same as lowering the backlight and may hurt the image quality.

Brightness control from Apple keyboard

I have a LG 23'' Flatron W2361V and I can not control the brightness from the keyboard. Is this normal for a none Apple display or am I missing something? This is my first Mac Pro and I have only used Macbook Pro's and iMac's which have screens of course. The volume key works and other keys as well. Need help.

Apple displays allow control of the backlight brightness via USB. Non-Apple displays don't, so there is no way for the computer to change the backlight brightness. There is software to reduce brightness by changing the output from the computer, but this will reduce the number of brightness and color steps available, and since the backlight brightness is unchanged, will use more power.

Is there a way to create a new desktop ( Mission Control ) with a keyboard shortcut ?

And toggling to it while at it ?

Here you go, this script relinks all selected images to the same image, but it works as well for one image.

var idoc = app.activeDocument;

Is RoboSource Control compatible with Windows 8?

Is anyone using RoboSource Control with Windows 8.1? I've heard rumours that it isn't compatible.
Thanks

Hi Jop, I use a Windows 8.1 machine with Robosource and it works okay. I had an issues because I'm on a 64-bit machine but I was able to fix it by installing this patch: Can't check in files | RoboSource Control | 64-bit machines

24" Display Brightness Control

I have a new 24" Apple display connect to my 15" MBP but have no brightness control. Slim keyboard's F1 & F2 button do not work and there is no brightness slider under the display system preferences.
Running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 all software up to date.
Anyone have any thoughts? Any help or suggestions are obviously welcomed.

Hi guys,
could you kindly verify whether your screen have uniform color?
On my 24" led cinema display I realized that moving a white Word sheet all over the screen, in some areas it is neutral, in other areas (lower right corner) it has a greenish tint.
Has someone else experienced the same problem?
(Please before answering test the issue in the same way I did!).
Thanks for your answers.

Brightness control not working in Windows 8 x64 after sleep with Boot Camp 5.0.2

Hi,
I am using Boot Camp 5.0.2 with Windows 8 x64.
Wheen the computer has been in sleep mode, and wakes up again, the brightness control won't work as expected.
Usually the screen is to dark (darker than before, what it should be), and after some time pops up brighter as it should be.
Has onyone else seen this issue?
I mean, it seems that for brightness we use the internal control GUI of Windows 8, and not the Apple one that is used in Windows 7 and in Windows 8 for the sound control.
Macbook Pro 13" Retina, early 2013 (brand new) with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD and 3.0GHz i7.

I have been having the issue of no brighness control when running windows through bootcamp for about 6 months now and have not found any applicable solution online.
While messing around trying to figure it out yet again I noticed that my monitor driver was signed by team viewer...
Sure enough clicking the roll driver back button resolved the issue by rolling the driver back to the Microsoft driver...
So long story short:
Right click "My Computer" click properties
Click device manager (lop left of window)
Expand Monitors section
Double Click monitor
Click driver tab
If the driver here is not signed by Microsot or Apple click the roll back button. My driver version is 6.1.7600.16385 (Driver date 6/21/2006)
Rolling this back instantly resolved my issue. I will now propagate this post to all the threads I saw regarding this issue.
I am running windows 7 x64 Ulti on a 15" rMBP.
Best of luck

Brightness and volume control keys not working with windows 7?

brightness, volume control and some other keys keys are not working with windows 7 with macbook pro retina. Can I fix it?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Have you installed Boot Camp drivers? You need them to make your computer work properly on Windows, and to use your function keys as Play or Pause, volume and brightness keys.
To install them, follow these steps:
1. Press the X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X.
2. Open Boot Camp Assistant and tick only the option to download Windows support software.
3. Windows support software will be downloaded and Boot Camp Assistant will ask you to burn it into a DVD or USB drive, so do it.
4. Start into Windows, insert the DVD or USB drive and install Boot Camp drivers. Your Mac and your volume and brightness keys will be working after installing the drivers
