Dell 1610hd HDMI fast switching

For switching between 4 HDMI sources I've got an advanced HDMI matrix which stores EDID and HDCP data to reduce the hand-shaking time. But nevertheless it takes 7 seconds to establish the connection and show the image. Is their a way to decrease the delay approaching a more seamless presentation?
Thanks in advance.

Do you mean am I using cups or something else or do you mean to configure the printers or something else?
I usually use the web interface to configure the printers for cups. I'm using the "recommended" HP drivers for the HP printers (and I think I'm using a proprietary ppd for the Dell printer from Dell but I use that printer much less than the others and not for printing these sorts of files).
I see the same problem with an HP LaserJet 1320 and a P3010 series (I think it is a 3015).
I discovered that if I switch to a gutenprint driver things are better for at least some JSTOR files on the 1320 but I still have issues. For some reason, it doesn't then want to print the last page (no matter how many pages there are) and this driver can only print at 600dpi and has fewer options. The printer is waiting for more data but cups thinks everything has been sent successfully. If I resend the last page to the printer, I then get two copies but one prints much later than the other. I assume this is another way in which something to do with the spooling or the way that cups sends data to the printer is going wrong and maybe connected with why printers get "stuck". Aside from the slowness issue there is definitely something not quite right about the communication between computer and printer. It is as though cups has two speeds: super quick (spools so fast the printer can't keep up); and super slow.
I've tried printing problematic PDFs from at least Okular, acroread and using lp on the command line.
I don't understand how the suggestion concerning converting them to png is supposed to work. Do you convert each page to a separate png file? I guess you could script it but it still seems like a convoluted process. (And I assume it rules out double-sided printing.)

E4200 + Dell PowerConnect 2016 Fast Ethernet Switch work/notwork?

We have a Dell™ PowerConnect™ 2016 Fast Ethernet Switch and with the e4200 having only 4 ports a fifth port is needed if we are not able to resolve the usb/printer fiasco that we have been struggling with for the past three days.
Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, PLEASE hlep!
Thanks,

We have the e4200 v.1 router with four ports in the back and we have updated the usb to network in a xeror 8400 printer via a usb connection. But after three days of trying, only one computer can find the printer on the e4200 router's usb port.
Plan B: give up trying to connect four computers (filling the four ports in the router) to the e4200 usb printer connection and utilize this Dell™ PowerConnect™ 2016 Fast Ethernet Switch which has 16 ports and network in the printer on this dell Ethernet Switch.
BUT, I don't know if this can be done with the e4200 since the CC/Linksys does not appear to be PnP friendly & we don't have the resources to hire in a tech. I can follow instruction, please point me in the right direction. Many thanks if you can assist,

Sharing Itunes library with another User Account & Fast Switching

Hi. I recently purchased a new iMac G5 and am in the process of setting it up to be used by 2 separate users (girlfriend and me). I apologize in advance if this is more of an Itunes issue and not solely an Administration issue.
My question deals with creating a new user account on my Mac (with Fast Switching) and allowing my girlfriend to share my iTunes library with the ability to transfer music to her ipod when she is logged into her own unique account. I will be the Administrator on the Mac.
We are trying to avoid loading our music two times into the Mac under each of our logins. Is there a way that we can share the music I have already loaded into my Itunes library when she is logged into her account so that she can transfer to her ipod and create her own distinct playlists? If so, any advice on how to enable this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, baltwo's solution will not allow your girlfriend to create any playlists or copy songs to iPod.
The easiest thing would be to share the entire music folder, so anyone of you can listen to your music.
You'd have two options.
If you want to be using the exact same library, so any playlist you created can be edited by your girlfriend and vice versa:
1. Go to yourusername/Music/iTunes. You'll find two files called "iTunes library" and "iTunes music library" Copy them to your desktop, so you'll have a backup just in case.
2. Move your yourusername/Music folder to computer/users/shared. (The folder will be copied ONLY in case your using FileVault, so you'd have to delete the original User/Music folder after making sure you'd got a functional copy at computer/users/shared) Select users/shared, press "apple+i" to get the info window, go to "Ownership" change all permissions to "read & write" and hit "apply to enclosed items"
3. In case you're using FileVault, either delete or rename the original Music folder within your own account. Again, not necessary as long as FileVault isn't enabled.
4. Select computer/users/shared/music, hold down "ctrl" while clicking on it and choose "create alias" from the contextual menu. Copy that alias into your homefolder as well as your girlfriend's account (need to log in) and rename it to "music" without the "alias" at the end.
5. Launch iTunes. Done.
6. Don't worry, in case you don't see your music. I've used a slightly different approach, yet this one should work totally fine.
If you want to listen to the same music, yet be able to set up your own playlists, ratings etc.:
For your account:
- go to yourusername/Music/iTunes, move "iTunes Music" to computer/users/shared and change ownership according to #2.
- If FileVault is enabled, check #3. Of course, you want to rename the original "iTunes Music" in this case.
- create an alias for computer/users/shared/iTunes Music and copy the alias to yourusername/Music/iTunes. Rename it to "iTunes Music" without "alias".
- Launch iTunes. Should be working the way it used to. Quit.
For your girlfriend's account:
- log in, copy alias to username/Music/iTunes, rename alias.
- Launch iTunes, go to File-> Add to Library, select username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music, choose.
That's it.
The only downside is, only one user at a time can access the music folder, so if you're logged in and running iTunes, you're girlfriend, logged in via fast user switching, won't be able to open iTunes until you quit it for yourself. Haven't found a way around this yet.
Fell free to report any issues.
huhh...rather long posting...

Fast switching problem

When I Fast Switch to new user, everything seems to work perfectly: the Users Desktop appears and I can click on Applications in the Dock, the Hard drive spins up and the little blue dot appears indicating that the Application has opened, but nothing appears on the Desk Top. I can use Apple=Tab short cut to move between Open Applications, but no Application Window ever appears. Also the Menu Bar across the top doesn't work properly: I can highlight Icons TimeMachine and see when the last Backup was done, nothing else. The only choice is to Hold the power button down until the system completely shutsdown and restart.
Any ideas?
Thank you
Damian

Monitor color profile, fast switch script

Hi everyone,
I often switch between two monitor color profile, the default one "LED Cinema Display" and the calibrated one, named with the date of calibration (ex:"22June2011").
Is there a way to fast switch between this two with a script, without entering in monitor preferences and move to color tab every time? Maybe set an icon on the menu bar... Or an icon on the dock...
Thanks,
Filippo

More important, the question is not about color management, is about scripting.
Otherwise we're just wasting words, that doesn't seem the right place to speak about profiling...
Do you want help or not? What you're asking has everything to do profiling and color management. You're going about the use of profiles for your monitor completely wrong.
Any profile is an image of how that, and only that device displays, captures or reproduces color. The only monitor profile that makes any difference is one you create. Since you're using i1Profiler, then you must be using an i1 Pro to profile the monitor.
The monitor profile you made with i1Profiler is the only one you should be using. It is an exact description of the white point, black point, gamut and color range of the monitor you are looking at. The canned profile has nothing to do with the monitor in front of you. It's a generic average that is just short of completely useless since it is not a direct description of the monitor you own. Forget the "LED Cinema Display" profile, or any other canned profile on the system.
I can only assume you're trying to simulate CMYK color in Photoshop. To do that, your start with the monitor profile you have. To create a meaningful CMYK simulation, you need to create your own inks file to use as your CMYK color space in Photoshop.

7507 VRF and CEF/Fast Switching

I'm running into a problem with a 7507 router running 12.4 where any vlan subinterfaces inside a VRF is being process switched instead of CEF or fast switched. I've verified that the source and destination addresses are valid in the cef FIB but for some reason it's falling back to process switching. Any ideas?
I've attached the config and the output of all the show commands I can think would be related.
For a test instance, packets from source 10.1.25.5 traveling to 216.82.160.42 are process switched, as are packets from 192.168.0.35 to 10.1.27.42.

I'm running the newest 12.4(13b). According to bugtracker it looks like it's supposed to be fixed in 12.4(7.17)T and 12.4(7.17)M, is my understanding correct that the 12.4M fixes would be incorporated into 12.4 mainline?

Windows 8.1 U1 bug with unresponsive start screen when fast-switching users

While testing out the bug described here ( http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/c9a3c605-9e7f-47ce-84ec-791a1627ebf0/windows-81-u1-hiding-taskbar-in-multimonitors-setup-bug?forum=w8itprogeneral ), I've found another bug - if the secondary
monitor is lower than the main one, start screen becomes completely unresponsive when fast switching users. You can click on any tiles, on start in lower left corner or try searching apps - it does nothing. Here's the screen recording http://1drv.ms/1k8au8O
. The secondary screen is usable at the same time, and sometimes you can run start screen on it (in such a case, it disappears on main screen and appears on secondary screen, but is also unresponsive), or you can't click at start icon at all (it appears highlighted
in the taskbar and doesn't response to clicks).
MSFT's testers should test such a setup a bit more, I think.

Hi,
What’s your meaning of secondary monitor is lower than the main one?
I test the dual screen, fast user switching works good, so what’s your condition?

Boot Camp "Fast Switching" has disappeared?!?!

I haven't found the need to switch into windows until today because I have been so blown away by the new features(including stacks). But right before I did I remembered the fast switching feature that safe sleeps your mac and hibernates Windows, so you can switch more quickly. I went searching for it and couldn't find. Does anybody know where it went? Or did it.....dun dun dunnn.... disappear??!!?? Iwas really looking forward to this feature and would like to see it found or added sometime soon(10.5.1!).
Thanks,
Sammy

It's apparently gone.
If anyone has any news on this, it'd be nice to hear.
Not like I boot into Windows anyway.

CEF Vs Fast Switching

Hi, Can anyone tell me the diffrence between the two and any reference material which i can acess and go thru. I want to make a presentation on the same. Thanks in advance.

These are the basic differences.
With Fast Switching, the forward information database (fib) is built gradually on an as needed basis. It starts empty and is built as users need to find destinations.
With the first packet a user sends to destination $x, the ip routing table (rib) is consulted to find the outbound interface toward the ip address of the destination, the arp table is consulted to find the mac addy of the next hop. Being that looking up the destination via the ip routing table/rib is done in software (process switched), it takes more resources to perform this action.
After the lookup, the destination ip and outbound interface is sent to the fib so all subsequent packets to this destination do not have to be looked up (per ip routing table/rib).
With CEF, the full RIB is pushed/mirrored to the CEF FIB after boot so the router/switch does not have to gradually build the CEF FIB. Also MAC addresses for the next hop are contained in the Adjacency table. There is a hash table with pointers from the FIB to the Adjacency Table. This makes it easier for this entire process of packet switching to be programmed into hardware. Subsequently, the first packet sent to a destination does not have to be sent to software unless particular security related features are enabled. In the case of 6500 switches with linecards containing DFC/Distributed Forwarding Cards, each linecard will have a copy of the CEF FIB and Adjacency Table so the packet switching can be done on the linecard.

Fast Switching Troubles

Love my iMac, but recently, one of the accounts enabled for fast switching can no longer log in! I have deleted the entire account and re-created it to no avail. It shows up as a valid account, but when I try to log in, I get the dreaded blue screen and it won't allow me any access. Every other account is working fine, but now I am stuck at 3 accounts and there are FOUR of us. This is very frustrating! I have been online with Mac specialists and also on the phone with them, and nothing helps. HELP!

Hello Hyacinth, and welcome to the discussions:
Can you give us a run-down of what the Mac specialists have had you try in your efforts to resolve this? If we know what has already been done, maybe we can suggest something that hasn't been tried yet, short of reinstalling the OS.

My MBP is extremley slow, my brothers dell even runs faster! Is there anything you'd recommend?

My MBP is extremley slow, my brothers dell even runs faster! Is there anything you'd recommend?

To run a diagnostics check using the recovery drie shut down your MBP turn it back on and hold the option key until the grey start up screens appears continue to hold and then it will ask which drive you want to select, select the recovery drive and search your computer for errors if it has errors click repair, done your finished, exit out of the window and open your Mac HDD and you should find a significant difference in speed

HDMI Auto Switch

Hi! I have a HDMI in my laptop, Dell XPS L421X with XFCE. When I connect HDMI to TV I have the video, use ARandR to set the displays, but not sound. I Install pavucontrol (PulseAudio Volume Control) because in SoundMixer have not controls with pulseaudio and not apear the hdmi. With pavcontrol I can select the audio and go to TV.
In pavcontrol I can see in the Configuration Tab, diferent profiles for built-in audio:
Analog Stereo Duplex --Default Analog Stereo Output
Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output + Analog Stereo Input
Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output
Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output + Analog Stereo Input
Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output (unpluged)
Digital Sourround 5.1 (HDMI) Output + Analog Stereo Input
Digital Sourround 5.1 (HDMI) Output
Digital Sourround 5.1 (HDMI) Output + Analog Stereo Input
Digital Sourround 5.1 (HDMI) Output (unpluged)
Analog Stereo Input
Off
The first: Analog Stereo Duplex is the default when the sound exit by the laptop.
To set audio with TV I can select: "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output + Analog Stereo Input" or "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output"
Is possible to auto switch the audio/video when the hdmi is plug-in and plug-out? ARandR & pavcontrol appear have not this control...
Thanks in advance!

Can you enable HDMI video from the command line?
Can you enable HDMI sound from the command line?
I made a script that will toggle HDMI video and sound for the TV. Then, I assigned it to a keyboard command so it's easy to toggle. Let me know if you want to see my script. I have a Radeon HD5450, and I use the open source radeon driver and ALSA.
After you can enable HDMI video and sound from a script, then you can learn how to detect when the cable is plugged in.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 and Dell U2711 / HDMI?

Hello,
I plan to purchase the Dell U2711 monitor, it has a resolution of 2560 x 1440.
Will my Lenovo ThinkPad X1 handle this over the HDMI port?
Thanks in advance,
Simon

Not thru HDMI, but it will thru the mini-display port. You simply need a mini-display port to full size display port cable, something like this.

Windows 7 HDMI Issue - Switch to Projector only, now stuck

PLEASE I AM SO VERY STUCK.
My father told me to watch Netflix while I was home from university - using the new HDMI Cable we purchased - very proud that he had figured it out on his own. So I turned the TV input to HDMI, and, after loading my selected movie, plugged the cord into
the laptop (A Lenovo B575). It worked! I saw the Netflix loading screen on BOTH computer and TV. Great! BUT, the bottom few inches of the picture were cut off on the TV (An LG 32LN530B), so I decided to change the resolution a bit. I went into the control
panel to adjust and went too far - I forget now the resolution I chose, but I increased it. The TV then said "no input" as if no HDMI cable was there. I had closed the control panel while the screen was adjusting, and so I hit Windows+P to open
up the "Projector" modes, thinking this would bring me back to the same place.
Somehow, I mistakenly switched the output to "Projector Only", and thus the laptop's screen went black (black, not blank as if there were still a backlight). As there was no input for the TV because of the improper resolution, and no output for
the actual laptop monitor as it was configured to be projector only, I figured as soon as I unplugged the HDMI cord the screen would come back on. No such luck. I waited, and then after a few minutes decided to try Windows+P and blindly readjust. Still
no luck. I tried many combinations of the arrow keys, wait times between Windows+P and arrow keys, etc. The lights of the keyboard are all functioning completely normally, but don't seem to be responding to the controls. I also tried Fn+F3 (the equivalent
of Windows+P)... to little avail. I then tried Function and F2-F6 (all of the keys with orange 'functions'), respectively. Still nothing. To reiterate, no HDMI cord is inserted, computer is running perfectly, and both Windows+P and Function+F3
tricks failed.
So, I restarted my computer and logged in again, successfully getting to the desktop. I tried to plug the HDMI cord as I had done initially, when it was all working properly, and - screen goes black again. It's as if it remembered that I set the secondary
or alternative display resolution to be higher than possible and on projector only. I tried everything again. I repeated this quite a few times, using different combinations. Still, the black screen remains. I went into the control panel again, to see if I
could adjust the resolution of the TV (secondary display) BEFORE it was connected. No luck. It would only let me adjust the resolution of the computer. After spending an excrutiating hour googling and finding no help anywhere, I tried to consult the TV's owner
manual. No help. I adjusted all the proper HDMI settings on the TV itself, and it still is causing the black screen.
I am hoping there is some way to make my computer "forget" the HDMI settings so that it will work as it did initially, before I got cocky and wanted to adjust things. Somebody, please help me. It's now 2am.

press F8 and choose "last known good configuration"
if doesn't help, try to remove your amd display and reinstall again
