Color gamma trouble when using external acer 223w monitor
I have an MBP and I am connecting my Acer 223ww external monitor to it while I am at my desk. For some reason, I have noticed, the displays (both the MBP and Acer) will periodically, at what seems to be random intervals, give the appearance of a the gamma being changed to something lighter. Suddenly the colors will look washed out and more bluish on both the Acer and the MBP LCD screens. I have been able to get it to promptly revert back by simply opening the Display Preferences, but it will inevitably happen again.
This does not seem to happen when the external monitor is not attached.
Has anyone seen this with any other monitor? Any solutions out there?
On waking from display sleep, many MBP users are noticing their monitor profiles to revert to default (or none):

Opening the Display Preference Pane solves the issue, until the next time you sleep your display.

When using external speakers, they won't unmute
I am using a U530 Touch with Realtek HD Audio driver version 6.0.1.7535 and Windows 10 build 10240. When using external speakers, everything works fine, except when I mute speakers they will not unmute without unplugging the 3.5 mm speaker jack and plugging it back in to the unit. Using the laptop's internal speakers does not produce the same proplem (mute/unmute works fine). I have looked at every setting and find nothing, nor have I seen this problem reported in the forums. HELP!!!

Firstly how do I know if this is a 1st or 2nd generation shuffle? Bought in May at Palo Alto Store but there doesn't seem to be anything on the packaging to tell me.
1st Gen shuffle was white, plastic, and shaped like a chewing gum package.
2nd Gen shuffle is aluminum, with a spring clip on the back and comes in silve and assorted colors...
When the shuffle is connected to the external speakers(bought at the same
time) it only plays about 5 songs and then stops.
Does it play through the earphones after this happens? Does it still have power or is the battery depleted after it stops playing?
What Brand & model are the speakers? -
ORA-15072 when using external redenacy?
Hello -
I am getting ORA-15072 (command required at least one failure groups) when using external redundancy. I am using asmlib on Linux, and I have a feeling that it it a multipathing issue. Here are the output from some of my commands:

Applications disappear when using external mouse
Using windows 7 professional on a brand new T410 (2537-RZ5).
Happens only when using an external mouse and mouse is stationary for random periods of time (seconds or minutes).
Problem: all applications (internet explorer, office, etc) will suddenly disappear (sometimes only leaving outside border of application) to reveal desk top - does not matter which application i have open or whether there is one or multiple. Desktop color is correct but instead of solid color it has a diagonal ribbed effect to the color. Applications will reappear moment I move the mouse.
Happens with variety of external mouse - does not happen if using laptop mousepad (i.e. no plug in). All latest windows and lenovo updates installed as far as I know but has not fixed bug. Has happened again just while writing this message - quite frustrating.
Please help if you can.I noticed a similar phenomenon and found that my mouse cursor was landing over the sensitive spot on the right side of the task bar which harbors the "Show Desktop" Aero feature. Check it out.

How to blank laptop screen when using external monitor/
Hi there
I need some help with figuring out how to configure my xorg.conf for my Arch Linux 64 bit installation on a HP Pavilion dv 5000 laptop so that I can automatically blank my laptop screen when using an external monitor. I have Arch Linux installed along with Ubuntu Feisty. In Ubuntu my external monitor (Viewsonic 1912WB) was not detected at the time of installation but with the native 1280X800 resolution that is good for the laptop takes effect for the external monitor automatically when the external monitor is plugged in. The laptop monitor goes blank when the external monitor is plugged in.
In my Arch Linux installation I have not been able to configure a dual head configuration using the ATI Radeon drivers (fglrx). I have the native 1280X800 resolution set up for the laptop monitor and this resolution takes effect for the external monitor also. However the laptop monitor also continues to function when the external monitor is plugged in. I would like to blank the laptop monitor when using the external monitor.
I am attaching my Arch Linux xorg.conf and the Ubuntu xorg.conf below. Thanks for anyone who can help, I am having a lot of difficulty in figuring out how to set up xorg.conf among all the things that I have had to learn so far in Linux and I am a relative newcomer to the whole thing. I have tried to compare the two xorg.conf files and edit my Arch xorg.conf in accordance with the Ubuntu one but it did not work and I keep getting errors!
I am using XFCE as my Desktop environment.

How to remove namespaces in mapping when using External Definition
Hi,
I read in the blog (/people/sameer.shadab/blog/2005/12/05/how-to-remove-namespaces-in-mapping--xi) that you are able to remove namespaces in mapping by deleting the value from XML Namespace under the Message Type. However, is it possible to do this when you are using External Definition (xsd) ? The blog only describe how to do this if you define a Data Type.Hi ,
No ..it is not possible to remove the namespace once you imported into IR of external defintion.You can remove your namesapce from external definition before importing into IR.

My external display is a Samsung PX2370 connected to my MBP using an HDMI cable with a HDMI-to-miniDP adapter
I first noticed this after the last EFI update several months back. At first I thought kernel_task eats up too much cpu cycles whenever an external display is attached, but it turns out this only happens when the external display is set to 1080p. When external display is set to 720p, kernel_task is pretty much normal (~5% cpu usage) but rises up to ~150% cpu usage once the external display is set to 1080p.
kernel_task cpu usage is also with normal range when my MBP is connected to a Samsung LCD TV at 720p.
Anyone having the same problem or know of any fix/workarounds?Seems like the problem persists when playing a 720p video on the external display set to 720p. To sum it up

Desktop acting weird when using External Monitor.
Hey guys,
Just wondering if people have been having this weird "problem" when using an external monitor on OS X Mavericks. Though not really an issue that makes the OS/Mac usable, it's more of a quality of life thing (and it's really annoying for someone who likes things to be where I put them).
Anyways, the problem is that when I use my external monitor when at home, I have it set as the main display while the monitor on my MacBook Pro 15" acts as the extended/secondary monitor. No problems in functionality, BUT, the icons on my desktop always move while my external monitor is in use.
I usually do my work while using my external monitor and I use my desktop as my initial location to save my work files before moving them to an appropriate folder. However, revert back to not using the external monitor, everything just gets muddled up on top of eachother, stuff (sometimes) get missplaced and it just becomes a hassle to rearrange my desktop to how it was before.
tl:dr: desktop icons move when I use my external monitor as my main display.
So does anyone know if this is a problem that can be fixed, or is it an issue my monitor being a 3rd party model and old?

Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Whether or not you are using an Apple Cinema Display, the behaviour you are describing is the same:

Noise when using external monitor

It gets even worse when using powercord on my MacBook.this is caused by processor noise/power interference. one fix is to turn the volume all the way up on the macbook pro,and adjust volume on the amplifier.

Macbook Chirps and clicks when using external monitor
My mid 2010 Macbook Pro makes chirping and clicking noises from the hard drive however it only happens when I have my external monitor hooked up. Any one have any idea why? It is different from the Motion sensor click. I've found all over the net that others are experiancing this issue (not connected to external monitor) however haven't I haven't seen a conclusion. Any ideas?
Thanks
Here is a video I just recorded of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZAc9o3Z4DcHello everyone!
I found this topic which took my attention as I've been having the same issue for some time..
Please excuse my bad english, I'm italian... but I'll try to point everything up the best I can.
Every time I hooked up my macbook pro 13" mid 2010 to the external monitor/TV. I started to hear my hard disk chirping and clicking...
That was worrying me a lot, thinking my hard disk was going to abandon me soon....
But I finally came to a solution!!
Well.. not really a solution, but certainly a workaround.
In my case my Mac is lying on the side of a 46" Led TV which I use also as a monitor for it, hooked up via HDMI cable and HDMI-MiniDV out Hama adapter. I was using a wifi connection.
Then I thought "could it be the wifi antenna disturbing the hard disk when the mac is closed?"
I connected my mac via LAN cable to the router, turned off the wifi, and... my Mac is now quiet as a frozen lake (and a lot faster too)!! ;D
Please let me know if that works for you too.
Cheers! -
Macbook Pro 15 Late 11 extreme fans noise when using external monitor
Dear Apple, recently I bought Macbook Pro 15 Late 11. I really love it's speed and new OS X Lion, BUT this Macbook really noisy when I use external monitor and keyboard. I work on external monitor all the time. I don't care about how hot my Macbook is when I'm on external monitor. Let it just be hot and quiet.
P.S. Example. I run Ableton Live and have 6200 RPM working on external monitor (awfully loud!). CPU 90% idle. When I switch off external monitor and use internal one, RPM drops down to 4500 with the same Ableton work session. By the way, I don't need cool graphic card. Apple, let our work days be quiet.I did that and it didn't help. It's common problem with an external monitor. Here are some links:

When using external-scheme what is still stored on-heap?
Hi all,
If I have a scheme like this...
<distributed-scheme>
<scheme-name>distributed-scheme</scheme-name>
<service-name>TestDistributedService</service-name>
<backing-map-scheme>
<external-scheme>
<lh-file-manager>
<directory>/temp/odc-data</directory>
</lh-file-manager>
</external-scheme>
</backing-map-scheme>
</distributed-scheme>...when I put data into a cache what is still stored on the heap?
When I do a test I can see that obviously the data is not on the heap as I can add massively more entries before I run out of memory.
Using the VisualVM tool's memory sampler I can see a similar number of instances of com.tangosol.util.Binary as I have entries - so are they keys still on the heap?
If I add indexes then I can see that these are on the heap, so I will have keys and indexed values on the heap. I end up with twice as many instances of Binary as I have put entries, which makes sense as the index contains a references to the Binary keys.
The reason I ask is because I configured a "Dev" version of our application that uses <external-scheme> everywhere you would normaly use a <local-scheme> so we can run a version of our application for Dev testing on development machines with limited RAM. It needed a few tweaks and a custom DefaultConfigurableCacheFactory but seems to work fine. I am now trying to figure out just how much space we save and how much "data" is still on the heap.
Cheers,
JKThanks David.
So with an external scheme we will be able to save the amount of space taken by the cache values. Now if I could just shift the indexes (which take quite a bit of space) that would be a bonus. I know it sort of defeats the point of having an index but I am trying to run the app on a small Dev server so I am more interested that it works functionally than how fast it is. If the app was 3.6 I might be able to do something clever with custom indexes - then again we could just remove the indexes.
Cheers,

Firewire Problem When Using External Burner
Before I go into detail about my problem let me say that I contacted the manufacturers CS and they were unable to help (sent a new burner and I still had the same problem).
I finally got an external DVD burner, the lacie d2 with Lightscribe, and I plugged it in the firewire port, updated it with all the latest drivers and tried burning some cd's from an iTunes (7.1) playlist. It checked the media, started to burn the first song and and immediately went to finishing the disc burning without going through the other songs. But then it just hung there (the player started running, I could hear it, but when it froze after the 1st song he player just quieted down). I left it alone for awhile figuring it would eject the disc but nothing happened. I was unable to stop the process, quit iTunes or even eject the disc. Eventually I had to force quit and restart the computer.
I tried it using Toast but I got an error the first time and the second time I tried it froze on the burn screen. The funny thing is I'm able to burn when using the usb connection (it's really slow though, 1.0) and I'm able to rip cd's when connected via friewire but burning causes all types of problems.
The burner shows up on the system profile (vendor supported after updating with drivers), I've switched firewire cables, and used both ports on the iMac and the dvd burner, and after contacting Lacie they sent me a second burner but the problem persisted. I use a lacie external hard drive and never had a problem with it so I was wondering if anyone had an explanation or a similar problem. If not I was thinking of sending this second one back and trying the new Sony firewire dvd burners.
And one last thing, I got this because my superdrive gave up on me, although it's still recognized in the system profiler, it just doesn't start up if I put in a cd or dvd.
Please help as I'm at the end of my rope with this burner.
iMac G4 Flat Screen Mac OS X (10.4.9)I'm curious if the internal superdrive's inaccessibility to the system and
the firewire port issues are related; or share a common thread in how
they may require one action to try and make them work.
Aside from that speculation, have you tried seeing what the Apple
Hardware Test (boot the computer from it) says in regard to this
matter and the details of any error codes it may generate? And
if you can run Disk Utility from the installer OSX disc#1 from the
external FireWire disc drive, to see if any maintenance can help
the system, that would be nice.
There also are third-party freeware disc burn utilities; and a few share-
ware ones that are quite good. They usually will work in problematic
situations where the hardware is OK and the basic OS X is, too; but
for some reason the external FW or internal replacement Superdrive
won't burn a disc or does it partially; or improperly. I've used my disc
burners so rarely I am not a great one to improvise here; but I did get
Burn 1.7u (v12) http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net and it does work well.
Can you boot the computer from any of the DVD - Firewire external
recorder/players you have or had? You should be able to boot the OSX
from the installer disc#1 from a good external; but some may not do it.
Was there any issue in the procedures you described before upgrading
the system to 10.4.9? How about Quicktime 7.1.5 or iTunes 7.1.1? -
Mixing when using external midi devices . . .
Hi,
This is the first time I'm mixing a project using an external midi device. Formerly, using an older version of DP, I would record each track from the midi device into an audio track before mixing because those tracks don't "bounce" when mixing. Anybody here who uses external devices do it differently?
Thanks, josfUsing the external I/O plug in you can bounce your external midi instruments to audio tracks in realtime in logic, but you have to add the New multi instrument in the environment so that it can be represented in the external destination parameter of the EXternal I/O plug in.
At least I think this is how things work. You also need an audio interface with the outs of your hardware to the ins of the inputs and the midi cables configured.
But.. I think there is a latency issue there.. anyone know how to compensate for this? Like if I bounce a track in realtime in logic.. it records the time that it takes the audio to "get into" the software.. It never bounces a track right on the beat, as if I were to bounce a track from say the EXS sampler.. When I do it inside logic it bounces it right on the beat.. with no "dead space" beforehand.. but if I use external equipment there is always a lag.. any suggestions?
