Dash Monitor Widget help

I have OSX 10.4.10 and I downloaded and tried out the Dash Monitor widget found here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/dashmonitors.html
I somehow now have two installation files. One works fine, the other I've tried to delete but all I get is errors such as "MTKNetwork is in use", "MTKMemory is in use", "MTKDisc is in use", "MTKCPU is in use" and the "The operation cannot continue because the item 'mtk' is in use". If I try and install it, I get an error that it is not a valid widget and I cannot install it.
I extracted the installation file again from the original zip file and I can install and delete that without a problem.
Can anyone help?

Thast's the one. Thanks Mike! I'm suprised to find you're not previously an Apple Discussions user.
I found the Dash Monitors widget a bit too big for me and I've got another system analysis widget running which was what was causing the problem. Stopping that widget meant I could delete the Dash Monitor widget.
Ideally what I need is two (or three!) Dashboards and for the dashboard to darken more or remove the background.

Issue with KDE power management plugin and battery monitor widget

Hi everyone, I'm having troubles with the battery monitor widget on KDE: since I have installed the DM I get an error message during the startup saying that "no valid power management backend plugin is available", so I can't get my battery monitor working.

dovdov2,
are you saying that when you connect your MacBook Pro to a monitor, your Internet connection slows down, but when you disconnect the monitor, it speeds up again, and that this is reproducible from one day to another?
Does this happen both under OS X and under Windows 7, or only under one of them?
How are you currently connecting your MacBook Pro to your monitor?

There really isn't any workaround to the cost. You can't get the parts needed to fix it yourself. Only Apple has those parts and they do not sell them to end users.
Sure you could take it apart and clean everything and the screen might start working again but then it might not. Depending on what cause it to stop working in the first place. Like something got shorted out.

In-dash monitor problem. HELP!

I'm desperately trying to buy an in-dash dvd player for my boyfriend and I'm useless when it comes to these things.
He once hinted about one with a 7" screen and when you press a button the screen conceals itself when not in use. The only luck i've been having are the ones that you push the screen in manually.
Best buy. com has a in-dash dvd player with a 7" screen that is motorized. Is that what I'm looking for?

Hp dv5-1002nr notebook hdd smart monitoring issues HELP!!!

Hello. Im working on a HP DV5-1002NR notebook and Im getting a "hard drive is at risk of imminent failure...." message at boot. It gives error 0301.
I have done the full hd test and results are normal. I have also taken the hard drive out and installed it in my computer and done disk checking via 3 other reliable softwares. I have also run SPINRITE on this drive with FULL scan (8hrs) and all have come back with ZERO problems.
The laptop functions fine, and has full performance. I have reinstalled vista via the recovery partiton on the drive and still get this error. Short of completely formatting the hard drive, what else can I do to stop SMART MONITORING from reporting errors.
I am 101% sure the hard drive is not at fault.
The bios has no disablement for SMART.
Please help!

Have you updated your systems BIOS yet?

Several issues on my Classic. Contacts, BB Link and Battery Monitor. Help + rant

Hello everyone,
Initially I wanted to make this post specific to my most recent problem (BB Link) but maybe I can get some help with all of my problems in one post.
1. Contacts display and Caller ID - my biggest problem.
I used gmail to sync my contacts when I switched from iPhone to Android and now on BlackBerry. I had no problems with the iPhone and the Nexus 5, but Contacts on BlackBerry is bad. Very bad. I thought that switching to BlackBerry I'd have 0 problems with calling people because it's a "serious" business phone, and business people really need the call function to work 100%. I have only 250 contacts and they are fully synced (2weeks now). I don't have duplicates.
I suspect that the culprit is "smart dialing". The "feature" I can't turn off. Maybe someone can set up smart dialing better than I can.
- I live in Romania so our Country Code is +40 .
- The rest of the number is xxx xxx xxx. (9 characters)
- so, a Romanian number is +40 xxx xxx xxx when dialing from abroad.
When dialing normally (national calls), we have to add the 0 from the country code in front of the phone number. That makes our phone numbers 0xxx xxx xxx. Due to this format, I've set the "National Number Length" to 10. (Same problem with 9). And we don't have an area code.
Just now I received a call from someone and it showed his caller ID. On the next call (same person), it didn't show the caller ID. In the Call Log, I could only see the number. I pressed info and it showed the name. Then I pressed back and the name was associated with the number again in the Call Log. (10 minutes after writing this i check my call log and I notice that there are some numbers that called but are missing right now from the log. its the 2nd time this happened. they will probably show up in the next few hours).
I also cleaned all my numbers and they all have the same format now. It is CLEARLY a blackberry problem. I had NO problems with caller IDs on iPhone or Android even though the format wasnt consistent through all contacts.
And why can't I just copy the numbers locally? I tried selecting all contacts and "Copy" to local but I just can't. Apparently because they are linked contacts. It shouldn't be this hard.
Also, why do I see linkedin contacts when I chose '"hide" in its menu?
2. BlackBerry Link - (and why isn't it integrated with blend anyway?).
- couldn't back-up over wi-fi. iPhone and android backup over wifi on their servers. I think i connected both of those devices fewer than 10 times total to my computer. Everything was done over wifi. Now i have to connect my blackberry weekly so it can backup? I don't mind that BB doesn't make a full backup on their server, but it should be at least possible to do so over wifi on my network. (or maybe I don't know how to do it?)
- photos. Instead of building its own library, or making it possible to sync directly with folders in my computer, BlackBerry Link uses the iPhoto Library (on my Mac) - which I DONT USE. So I set Iphoto properly, but Link doesnt detect the new updates to the library, I still can't find my specific folder in BlackBerry Link.
3. Battery. The battery monitor is completely useless. Once, after a full charge it showed me that I had 70% battery for 4 hours until it dropped under 70%. It is almost funny what I see in the battery monitor on a daily basis.
The battery life is ok, but I rely mostly on luck. Sometimes it would drop 10% in 10 minutes and then hold a 40% charge for several hours. I don't really know how much battery I have but it generally holds for 1 day so I'm not that worried.
The rant:
I wanted to have a BB for a long time. My gf had a 9900 and even though the camera stopped working randomly, it was very reliable. I used the Q10 shortly after it launched and I noticed at that time that I need more apps than BB World can offer flipboard, banking and just a few others, so I didn't make the switch then. Now with the classic, which has android runtime and the toolbelt (which i really liked on the 9900) I thought it's time to make the switch. But I find it surprisingly annoying exactly where I expected to see its strenght - reliability.
I don't mind the blackberry link part so much, or that android apps work a bit laggy. I expected that. But I DO expect to see who is calling me and to have a reliable battery monitor.
Other issues:
- it doesn't completely lock the buttons when in holster. why do I have to be careful how I position my phone in my pocket so I don't accidentally turn it off? Also the holster rubs against the volume down button when inserted (original BB holster).
- weird noises when I change the volume during a song or youtube video
- due to a bug in a webpage or in the browser, it used 600 mb in about 10 minutes while running as an active frame.
Apparently I blew off some steam. I really want to like this device. Hope future updates will make it better.
Edit: After a reboot the call log returned to normal....

First thing I would do is to switch the following off:
Contacts > Settings
Automatically Merge Contacts = Off
Unmerge Existing Contacts = On
Just to clarify, do you have all the contacts phone numbers in the format
+40 xxx xxx xxx ?
This would be ideal.

Images too dark on Samsung monitor - please help!

We've just upgraded a Samsung 21" monitor to a Samsung 30" (305T).
In just TWO applications, Photoshop CS3 and Windows Photo Gallery (Vista64), all photographic images are much too dark. Not subtly, about 3-4 f-stops too dark.
EVERY other of our applications INCLUDING ADOBE BRIDGE AND FIREWORKS, and even Photoshop itself during Save to Web, displays the photos as they should appear.
I've tried setting various profiles in Windows Color Management as the default, including the ICC profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1 (which my reading says we should be using), as well as WCS profiles sRGB virtual and scRGB virtual, and tried using no profile at all. None of these changes makes any apparent difference at all to the images we're seeing.
In Photoshop, I've tried various options too. If set to Monitor Color (Monitor RGB - * wscRGB) Photoshop then displays images as it should. However the Camera Raw display when loading Nikon images is still much too dark, and the Photoshop Save to Web images are much too light. Arrrgh!
The monitor does not include any driver software, just electronic documentation (poorly edited) which offers no advice about this. I've seen references to various Gamma utilities, but not sure that's what I need. Is it?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!
TIA

Thanks Peter & Sid. I appreciate the advice, but it doesn't match our experience over 12 years of designing web applications so I'm having trouble understanding what's different, can I ask for any more advice you might have?
If we calibrate the monitor using the recommended tools, will Photoshop images look 2-3 f-stops brighter (i.e. as they should look) and will images in all other apps (which look fine now, have always looked fine) look 2-3 f-stops too bright? Or would we be changing JUST the way Photoshop sees the images?
Through probably a dozen different previous CRT and LCD monitors, we've never calibrated anything. Even on our immediately-previous Samsung 213T monitor, images appear pretty much the same in Photoshop as they do in all other places. That includes published web sites viewed with several popular browsers and viewed on literally hundreds of different systems inside and outside of our office.
The previous monitor was being used with exactly the same software and hardware as the new one. The only thing that's changed is the monitor.
Peter asks about brightness or white point luminance. I haven't used any tool to determine that. The monitor is set to 50% brightness, for whatever that's worth, but I can tell you that it is substantially BRIGHTER on white than the previous monitor. The previous Samsung monitor is being run side-by-side with the new one, and it looks quite dull and yellow beside the new one (and we thought it was a great monitor!) The new 30" Samsung has MUCH whiter whites. Does that help even a little?
Thanks for any further advice.

Mac Mini 2011 - Monitor Problems - Help

My picture is not sharp... just blury. Icons, pictures, text, mostly everything is bad except high quality video files.
I just purchased a Mac Mini 2011 second option and a Samsung TA531 monitor that arrived today. Hooked it up and to my surprise, it is blury and bad quality no matter what kind of resolution i use. I also try to text smoothening through terminal.. nothing helps.
My setup:
Mac Mini 2011 - second option stock
Samsung SyncMaster T27A531
Cable: HDMI
After reading about this issue, some people recommends to use a DVI or VGA cable and claims that HDMI is not suitable for computer monitors, especially Samsung.
Please, feel really sad and lost among a lot of new computer equipment that doesn't work properly

I had the same issue and didn't want to give up my Thunderbolt port, so I opted to get a Gefen HDMI Detective Plus. What this does is make the CPU think an HDMI display is attached so that your graphics CPU 'unlocks' and full speed is back. The Gefen box can either 'learn' the code of any HDMI display in your office/home, or you can preset it as a stock 1080p display. TOTALLY solved my problem... even though it did cost $85.
Apple needs to fix this as so many people use the MINI headless.

Monitor Setup Help

OK I have a decent budget for a Mac Pro setup and need help with the displays. The system will be used for video and photo editing. I'm torn between 3 23" displays and 2 30" displays. I really like the look and feel of that central display with flanking monitors. One of the things I will be doing is taking simultaneous video from 3 sources and pulling it together into one video. The final product will alternate between all three clips onscreen at once and transitions between the clips. If you had your druthers what would you choose?
Thanks.
PS I'm looking to buy after the next rev of the MP processors and am looking at the NEC line or Cinema Display (if they upgrade with the new MP line as I don't like the refresh rates).

External Monitor Setup Help

I was wondering if anyone knew a way that I could connect my laptop to another monitor, and then connect the laptop to my Macbook Pro, and use both the laptop's monitor, and the monitor it's connected to, as external monitors. I was also thinking I could possibly throw in my 2nd Gen iPod Touch and my iPad as even more visual space. This would be an amazing setup and a huge accomplishment for me, and I could amaze everyone I know when they come over. Just in case it's useful, the Macbook Pro is a (I think it's refurbished) 2007 version. If anyone needs more info about ANYTHING, I will gladly provide it.

Never mind. I posted this on another website and got a little bit of help from there, but I did most of it on my own. I'm using ScreenRecycler trial version (NEVER BUY IT, THERES NO POINT) to connect to my Macbook Pro to my laptop, iPad, or iPod touch, whichever I choose. I can only do one at a time and I didn't have to spend any money at all! I can also connect my laptop to my monitor or TV and add another screen into the play! The only downside is that the TV stays as Windows while the laptop is connected with my Mac, unless I drag the window to the TV and then the laptop stays as windows. It's almost like having 2 Macs and 1 PC! Thanks to anyone who even considered helping me.

IAd Producer and iBooks widget help

Hello!
I'm trying to use iAd Producer to create a drawing widget for an iBooks project. So far, I've been able to customize the standard drawing object and it works flawlessly on the iAd Producer Preview and in Safari, but not on the iOS Simulator nor the iPad.
In the widget, there are 2 brush sizes available (small and large) and I'm trying to give visual feedback to the user, letting them know which one they selected. Initially I started with buttons but that didn't work because buttons don't have a style for on/off to let the user know that that button is selected.
I switched to radio buttons, which works great on the preview but not the actual device. Here's the code I'm using:
HTML:
<label class="brushFrame">
<input id="smallBrush" class="brush" type="radio" name="brush" value="small"><img src="assets/brush.png" />
</label>
<label class="brushFrame">
<input id="largeBrush" class="brush" type="radio" name="brush" value="large"><img src="assets/brush.png" />
</label>
CSS:
label.brushFrame > input.brush {
display:none;
label.brushFrame > input.brush + img {
cursor: pointer;
width: 50%;
height: auto;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;
label.brushFrame > input.brush:checked + img {
opacity: 0.75 !important;
z-index: 10 !important;
Basically, the brush should become transparent when the user selects it and because it's a radio button, it will stay transparent until the user selects the other brush. The iOS Simulator and iPad are able to render all the CSS correctly, except for when the radio button is ":checked". Background: This is my first widget and I'm very comfortable with CSS but not JavaScript.
How can I make this work?

Many thanks for your reply patixa. Apologies for my incorrect typing of IDs, in my iAd code they do match.
I have managed to resolve the problem as follows:
All of my iAd content was originally on the Background layer. Placing the content on Page1 has resolved the problem.
I'm not certain as to why the project worked in iAd producer preview/Safari/Widget preview but not in iBooks but no matter, switching to Page 1 solves it completely.
I notice from a few of the problems people have posted that they have a similar situation and wonder if this might be something that would help them. I've not posted replies but wonder if someone more experienced might offer a view.
Many thanks again to patixa, your kindness is greatly appreciated.
