Can MPB 5,2 drive ext 1920x1080 HDTV properly? black border and fuzzy pictu

MBP uni summer 2009 17". I have been using it with an cheap Westinghouse 19" 720 (1440x900) with MiniDP-DVI-HDMI well. It use it to switch from TV and second monitor. Time to upgrade. I bought a JVC 24" 1080p TV LT24EM71 from Samsclub. TV is good, but it will not display the 1920x1080 correctly. Same cable. it will show 720i, 720p 1080i, 1080p and other resolutions like 1280x800, 1600x1000, 1900x800. NOT 1920x1080.
I tried 1080p and the screen look terrible. fonts are blurry, color off and there is a black (thick about 2") around the center where the '1080p' image is. I tried overscan, and it overshoot. and the picture / text are still blurry.
Apple Store said MPB 5,2 can't drive 1080p, but spec says can it drive up to 2560x1600. Did I missed something? There is no setting on this tv for 1:1 mapping. I tried both HDMI ports, restart in various order and even tried VGA (which at 800x400 looked better than HDMI).
Can this laptop drive a full 1080p HDTV at a clear enough resolution (no fuzzy and use all pixels) like a regular LCD monitor?
I took my laptop and cable to SamsClub, and tried hooking up to 22" JVC, 22" VIzio and anew 26" Vizio with the same outcome. It will not have a full screen 1080, and the display preferences doesn't show 1920x1080 as a setting and the 1080p setting look like crap.
So. Can I do this setup? what TV would work or what options have you all have?

First of all, the current stable driver from the repos is newer than what you have installed (349). Arch is quick on the uptake with new software versions, there's seldom a need to go into AUR if what you need is the latest driver.
Second, your notebook is likely using optimus, so you should be using Bumblebee and read through this article to find out how to set it up: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee

    iphone 4s is working for example can play,music recieve texts ,calls ect but has black screen and have tried the force shutdown method but still can see what im doing on the screen

    Did anything happen to prior to your phone acting this way? It sounds like your screen is dead, but it is hard to say without knowing what what the cause.
    1) was this a gradual problem? Did the phone screen start dimming a couple months ago and now has degraded or after some event (known or unknown to you), the phone started behaving this way.
    2) Can you give more specifics on the problem? You said you have a black screen, but also you can see what you're doing on screen. Is the screen just really dim? Is the screen completely black? Does anything else besides attempting to reset the device cause it to flash white?

  • How can I get my contacts/calendars sync'd properly on Mac and iphone?

    I've set up WIFI sync and finally can see podcasts on iphone etc but my contacts and calendars are not syncing between these two. I have contacts added on my phone that are not showing up on my computer and vice versa. And I have multiple calendars on my Mac that aren't showing up on the iPhone 3GS. I have to sync my ipad 2 with all of this but don't want to do this until the sync'ing is worked out between iphone and Mac. Any help is really appreciated.

  • Can i reinstall audio driver ?

    i m having some problems with audio and recording , i cant use stereo mix for recording ( i have posted regarding stereo mix earlier but didnt get any answer resolving the issue ) so i want to reinstall the realtek audio driver v. 6.0.1.7156 that i have .
    now my question is can i unstall the driver from control panel---programs---uninstall ? and then install it from hp support assistant ( as i think if i unistall it hp support assistant app will identify it and ask me to install ) .
     . i have done all the primary things for stereo mix to work and also done googing ,,,but its simply isnt working .but i want stereo mix to work.
    so am i going in the right way ? should i reinstall the realtek hd audio driver  as mentioned ? or any other process is there
    please help me.
    thanksgiving

    Dear souvikk -
    I understand you are having some problems with audio and recording on your computer.
    I will try to help.
    (You do not state what version of Windows you are running, so I will assume this is Windows 8.  If you have another version, you may be able to adapt the instructions to your version.  If not, please tell me which version of Windows you have so I can provide you with those steps.)
    You can reinstall the realtek audio driver manually, if you want to. However, let's see if Windows can automatically locate and fix the problem first, using the troubleshooting tool.  Follow these steps:
    From the Start screen, type troubleshooting to open the Search charm, and then select Troubleshooting from the search results.
    Under Hardware and Sound, click Troubleshoot audio playback and then click Next when the Playing Audio window opens.
    The Playing Audio window opens. Click Next.
    A new window opens. Select the device you would like to troubleshoot. Then click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.
    If a recommended action displays, select Apply this fix or Skip this step to continue to search for other problems.
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, next try updating the audio driver for Realtek.  Follow these steps:
    Connect to the Internet.
    From the Start screen, type device manager to open the Search charm, and then select Device Manager from the search results. 
    Double-click Sound, video and game controllers.
    Right-click the name of the sound hardware and select Update Driver Software. 
    Click Search automatically for updated driver software and wait for Windows to update the driver software. 
    Windows checks to see if updated driver software is available. If an update is available, let Windows install the update.
    When the update is installed successfully, test the device.
    If neither of these suggestions fix the problem, you can try to reinstall the Realtek audio driver. You should install from HP; not Realtek. 
    1. Go to http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html.
    2. Click on Drivers & Downloads, then enter your computer name or model number.
    3. Select your operating system, then click next, and scroll down to locate the download.
    4. Expand the Driver-Chipset section and locate Realtek Card Reader Driver.
    5. Click Download.
    6. Choose Use HP Download and Install Assistant (Recommended) and then follow the instructions.
    If none of these suggestions resolve the problem, please let me know and we can try something else.
    Sincerely,

    Please click "KUDOS Thumbs Up" if I have helped you, and click "Accept as Solution" if your problem is solved. Thanks for the feedback!

    How did you copy files to the external drive, and what files did you copy? Did you drag and drop in the Finder? Use a clone utility? What files did not successfully copy?
    If you reformatted the drive as part of your install, then you won't be able to recover any files from the drive. Reverting back to (reinstalling) 10.4 will not help you.
    Do you have a complete-drive backup of your old system?

  • HP Ext dvd drive (EXT MB CRADLE P07456 CNU402170K​, 4K0412 Rev V1.01)

    I have an HP Ext dvd drive (EXT MB CRADLE P07456 CNU402170K​, 4K0412 Rev V1.01) but I can't plug into HP elitebook 840, please assist on how can I use this drive thanksregards    

    I think the device you are looking at is the Multibay external caddy to use with a mutibay dvd drive. I don't think for a price of ten dollars or pounds or euros you are getting the Multibay device and the drive. No, the netbook does not have the usb+ port with a round plug next to the rectangular usb plug. However, that extra plug in is only needed on certain older units like the tc1100 and tc4200 pen tablets in order to boot from the external drive. The usb+ cable can be replaced with a standard usb A to B cable as with a printer or a mini-usb cable with an ordinary usb connector on the other end. Your netbook is set to boot from a regular usb external drive so you should be able to make full use of the drive without the usb+ connection. If you are actually getting the external box and the external drive for a "tenner" as you say then that is a very good deal. The mutibay externals I have worked with actually came with two alternate cables; a usb+ and an ordinary usb so just ask the seller very specifically if you are getting the unit in the original sealed HP box. If you are not getting the drive you can probably find just the drive for maybe another tenner or 20 dollars us if you can live with a dvd/cd burner combo and a dvd burner is going to be more like another 50 dollars so the mini-external usb dvd burner drive will start to look good by comparison. 

  • Can I use old drives with Mac Pro?

    Can I transfer the IDE drives from my Gigabit Ethernet G4 into empty bays on a new Mac Pro? If not, what would be the best way to continue to use them? I currently have 3 internal drives in the G4, including one 120G Seagate Barracuda.
    PowerPC G4 Gigabit Ethernet Mac OS X (10.4.5) 1.62 GB SDRAM, 1 GHz Sonnet Encore/ST PCI card, 120 GB ATA drive, ext. FW drive

    Hi,
    You can only add one ATA IDE drive in the free optical port under the dvd drive.
    I've done it with an old 5400 drive and it works fine. (I'm running windows on it).
    Beware though - as noted in other posts - the IDE cable is very short for the free bay - take an angle of 45• when reslotting it, and go gently, or you may scuff the cable. If it seems too tight back out and try again.

  • Can't Copy/Paste to Ext. HDs Connected to AEBS

    I have a MacBook Pro (unibody) and three OWC Mercury Elite Pro external hard drives hooked up to an Airport Extreme Base Station. One is a Time Machine Backup that I've been using for several months, with seemingly no problems. Time Machine backups occur on schedule and they write to the HD just fine.
    The other two are brand-new purchases. One is intended to be a primary network hard drive, while the other is a backup network drive.
    All three drives came to me formatted for Mac.
    I connect all three drives to the AEBS via a DLink powered USB 2.0 hub. Here's the problem:
    When I connect them, I instantly see them in the Finder window, but I am unable to copy any data to any of them (not even to the one I'm using for Time Machine). I selected a 50 Kb PDF and tried to copy it to each drive, but when I do, I get the following error message:
    *The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8058).*
    Please help me understand what I'm doing wrong here; I'm at a loss. BTW, in the Airport Utility, "File Sharing" is enabled (with Airport Extreme Password). "Remember this password in my keychain" is also checked, and "Share Discs over WAN" is not checked.
    Any help is really appreciated!
    Scott
    PS - I took the UBS hub out of the chain and connected a couple of the HDs directly to the AEBS with the same result (the error above)

    I found out something interesting tonight. I reformatted the drives (same settings) and then was able to copy/paste to them. What I've noticed is that if I copy a file, and then click "Edit-Paste Item" from the menu at the top of the screen, everything works fine. If I right-click on the ext. HD from within Finder, and choose "Paste Item", I get the error mentioned above.
    I'm pretty new to Macs and assumed that these two commands performed identical functions. Why would they differ? Is this an error in Snow Leopard?

  • Can't install printer driver: HP Color LaserJet 2605dn drivers "not currently available from the Software Update server"

    I was having trouble printing to my HP Color LaserJet 2605dn from a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion, so I went to System Prefernces -> Print & Scan deleted it and atempted to re-add it.  When I try add the printer I get this message:
    Software for this printer is available from Apple. Would you like to download and install it?
    After clicking Download & Install (the only option other than Cancel), I get this:
    Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard HP Color LaserJet 2605dn because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
    What's the workaround when Mountain Lion can't find the driver?
    Thanks!

    Thanks!
    The 2605dn has dual Network and USB connectivity. Which are you attempting to configure: Network or attached USB?
    Printer on, and if networked, use a static IP address
    Print & Scan
    IP
    Provide printer static IP address
    Select Printer Software ... HP Color LaserJet 2605dn driver (not sure about that 2600 driver)
    Add
    Configure Driver under Options and Supplies
    I have a 1994 HP Laserjet 4m Plus set up using these steps and the appropriate driver. I just added another network printer, using the same IP address, but using the above 2605dn driver without any issue other than complaint about a redundant IP address.
    Hopefully, you have already sorted this out.

  • My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

    My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
    The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
    I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy....   google...." fcpx time machine problem"  Frist page link

  • New laptop can't find the driver software for my ipod. What should I do?

    Previously I've used a family member's computer to sync their songs onto my iPod. We have very different tastes in music so I was excited to finally get my own songs on here. I now own my own laptop and have installed the most recent iTunes. However, whenever I plug the Ipod in it says "Windows needs to install driver software for your Unknown Device" I click locate and install driver software but it doesn't work and remains an Unknown Device and I can't sync songs. Should I have a CD or something for this? I have a 2nd gen. iPod nano so if I ever did get one it's long gone now...

  • I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories etc. I want to format it and use it on my IMAC for backup but I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

    I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories copied to it etc. I want to use it on my IMAC for backup. I see it on my my IMAC . I can open files etc.  But I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. I don't care if I lose current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

    You can't write to it because it's formatted as NTFS which OS X will read but not write to. If you want to continue using the drive with both a PC and OS X you will need to download and install NTFS-3G so you can then write to it from your Mac. You can get NTFS-3G at:
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g
    If you want to use the drive exclusively with your Mac then move the data off it and reformat it in Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) as Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)

  • Can I share icloud drive storage between family members?

    I am looking for easy offsite storage that can be easily accessed.  I have been reading a bit about the icloud drive, and it seems simple to add and open files. Can I share the storage with my husband and his computer or not?  We currently use carbonite as a backup program. Would icloud drive replace that?
    Thank you.
    Katie

    iCloud Drive is tied one AppleID.  If you want to share it, all family members would have to use the same Apple ID.
    The only Family Sharing Apple Supports for family members with different AppleIDs is sharing your purchases: iTunes items, iBooks, AppStore Purchases,  see:   http://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing/
    But iCloud Drive cannot be shared between different AppleIDs, and it is also not meant to be a cloud backup.It is used to store your current working copies of your most important documents, that you need on all devices, and keep the documents updated on all devices.
    See this link: iCloud Drive FAQ
