Dell 3007 problem

Hey,
Anyone know if I have to do anything special to get the Dell Ultrasharp 3007 to work with my G5? The highest resolution I can choose is 1280x800. Seems odd. I am at my work computer and the it is a 2.5 Dual, with ATI Radeon 9800 XT.
The first guy at Dell was fairly useless as far as info, and I know Dell doesn't like to talk much about Macs, so hopefully someone here has some experience with this monitor.
Thanks,
Matt

thought I had a different card. Looks like I have no dual link DVI. So my boss had to go out and buy a darn oct core Mac Pro. Aw shucks, I feel so bad...

Macbook Pro retina, Windows 8.1 dual screen, Dell E228WFP problem/blurry

Hello brainiacs,
I am running my Macbook Pro 2013+ edition with Retina display and an extrenal screen.
Problem: Fonts and windows on secondary screen (Dell E228WFP), in extended display mode, appears blurry and/or large (see screenshot)
I use a Mini Display Port to DVI for my Dell Screen, Apple original product.
I use Windows 8.1 with latest Boot Camp, version 5.1
My Macbook is latest Macbook Pro with retina 15'' 2560x1600 px.
Dell Screen has a resolution of 1680 x 1050 px.
When I view the display settings in Screen Resolution mode in Windows, I get the following warning: "Your resoltuion is lower than 2028x1440. Some items might not fit on your screen". I do not believe this warining is regarding blurryness, but rather moving windows from primary to secondary monitor.
Here's a screenshot:
Some of the texts look fairly sharp and crisp, for example the pop-up menu (except, this has huge fonts). Outlook is very blurry. Chrome is, - ok, but not perfect.

Thunderbolt to Dell monitor problem

My 2013 MacMini will not display correctly to a Dell E193FP or a Samsung SM940x AS THE SECOND MONITOR. Both monitors work fine on a Windows HP i7 machine.
A HP27x1 as the main monitor on the Mini works perfectly fed from the HDMI out to a DVI adapter. The Dell is fed from the Thudnerbolt port via a VGA connector. The Thunderbolt output looks dim with poor contrast. Impossible to wind up brightness or contrast to come close to the HP. Used to use an Apple Cinema display as the main monitor form the HDMI port with no problems. The tHunderbolt port seems to be the problem with third party hardware. Anyone else have this problem??

What resolution and refresh rate for the VGA connected monitor?
18. What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter?
The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. VGA displays that use higher refresh rates (such as 85 Hz) at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or greater may not generate video properly until you lower the refresh rate.

Dell printing problem

When I work on a project in landscape format and I want to print it on my excellent DellCN3110 laserprinter, he always treats it like a portrait format, anyway I change my printer settings. I only have this with photoshop CS5 intel on my new Mac Pro 2010. My former Powermac G5 PPC never had this problem. The only workaround I have is to turn my page 90° before printing...could it be a certain bug, in photoshop or in the Dell driver? Any suggestions? Thanks

WAAW!
This was REALLY helpfull!! I found a resolution in that thread, posted by Was DYP-I8QNVY:
"All you need to do is set the finder to show hidden files and folders. Then copy the /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstops file from your 10.6.4 backup or partition to the 10.6.5 folder /usr/libexec/cups/filter and then repair permissions. You might want to save the pstops file from 10.6.5 somewhere so that you can copy it back if you want."
Don't forget to repair permissions!!!
This one saved me out!!
Thanks so much!

Dell Connection Problems to Airport BS

We've heard it all before - I can't connect to the Airport BS with a Dell D600 laptop running XP(SP2)when I have the encryption on the Airport set to either WEP128 or 40.
Before anyone tells me to run to the iFelix site, I have and I can't get through step 1 as the Dell won't even acknowledge that there is an available network.
If I use the Dell 1350 WLAN access tool (instead of the XP wireless wizard), it sees my SSID, but when I type in the password (yes I used the admin utility to get the HEX version), it still will not connect. I've tried both 40 and 128 bit words - no luck.
If I make the network completely open - no encryption - all works well.
I'm also running an iBook and a new MacBook off this same Airport Base station. No problems at all.
Can anyone help me figure how to hook up?

This is because the native support is turned off.

It may require you uninstall the Dell WLAN tool.
Create a System Restore point so that you can revert the system back if required.

I agree with Duane use WPA, as it should work.
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

WPA
"WPA Personal" on the Mac corresponds to plain WPA, with a pre-shared key (PSK) and TKIP encryption, on non-Apple wireless routers. The same alphanumeric password should work on both.

Aironet and Dell Latitude problems

We have 3 access points, 2 1121s and a 350. All three are configured identically, using IOS and with 2 user vlans, one configured with WPA/WPA2 and LEAP, and the other with 128-bit WEP. Both VLANs are also doing MAC authentication to an ACS 3.3 server.
Our Dell Latitude D610 laptops with Intel 2200BG wireless built-in can authenticate fine to both of the 1121 APs, but not to the 350. Has anyone seen anything like this, and do you have any suggestions for getting this to work with the 350? The 350 works fine when a client with a Cisco card connects. Thanks.

I have a 600m which is the same chasis as the latitude d600. I also have the same wireless chipset. One of things I have found about the intel wireless is with droping connections both at work and home. Work we use 1200's wireless g cisco Aironets. Intel recognizes the problem and has resolved it with new drivers and software available at their site. since then I have not had any issues.

Dell 1100MP problems

Dear all... I have a problem with my projector. When I turn it on, the image appears normally (with the Dell welcome screen), but after a few seconds, it become upside down, before I plug in my laptop. Thank's for your help !!!

I have gone to the Factory Reset and how do we select. It's set on NO and we push the - bottom but nothing happens . We have a Dell1100MP

More Dell 2850 problems

With prior help, I got the PERC4 drivers loaded after cd1...reboot went ok, but then when it prompted for cd2, it could not read it. Basically, it seems to be the same problem as with the floppy. The CD however, is built-in and not usb. I dont see it anywhere in iostat from the terminal. Since i wanted to get some performance testing done on it, i skipped the last few cd's for now. Is there any way to get this cdrom working again, and perhaps to install the other cd's or did I screw that up too :-)
Thanks again.

I have a Dell Poweredge 2850 that I am trying to get
10 running on. It requires the PERC4 driver which I
downloaded from the sun download site. The usb
floppy works fine for the initial load, but once
install reaches the end of D1, it asks for the floppy
again, and cannot find it. I assume this is because
the USB filters are not up and running at that poin.Nope, the USB mas storage drivers are working fine at this point.
Problem is that the USB mass storage driver use a different
device name than PS/2 floppies -- /dev/dsk/c*t0d0p0 (USB) instead
of /dev/diskette (PS/2). The installer knows nothing about
the USB mass storgae floppy device name /dev/dsk/c*t0d0p0;
the installer tries to find the ITU floppy on /dev/diskette.
Any ideas on a workaround?Yes. See this thread:

External Monitor (Dell u2711) problems

Hi all,
I'm an editor and just bought a Dell u2711 to hook up to my MacBook Pro (2.53 GHz, 4GB Ram, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M). The DVI would only support up to 1920x1280 so I bought a mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter and that got me up to my full resolution for the monitor.
HOWEVER... my computer seems to be too slow or the graphics card isn't good enough to support such a monitor. Is this true? When I use the external monitor as extra desk space and put all my FCP windows in it I get this banding on my subjects when they move. It just looks like very slight glitches and the movement isn't displayed so smoothly. I'm working with 1080p ProRes 422.
When I try and use the Dell u2711 as an external video monitor (display all frames) it lags pretty bad and the motion is stuttery and not showing in smooth motion.
Please help. Would I have been better off with the 27" Cinema display? I thought they were pretty similar monitors. Is my laptop or graphics card not up to the task? Just last Nov. or so I got this laptop with what I thought was the best available graphics card Apple had at the time for this laptop.

Go to your Audio / Video Settings >> A/V Devices tab and turn of "Mirror on desktop" for Playback ... this will reduce the load on your system as it will not be trying to decode the video for two separate (and different) playback streams simultaneously ie when using Digital Cinema Desktop Preview to display All Frames then you will not see playback in the Canvas window as well, just on the external preview monitor.
And/Or you could also try setting FCP's System Preferences >> Playback Control >> Gamma Correction to "Approximate" ... according to the manual this can offer a little performance boost (but to be honest I haven't ever tested this).
Choosing Real-Time Playback Gamma Correction Options
Whenever you watch your video on a computer display (such as video displayed in the Canvas, the Viewer, or via Digital Cinema Desktop Preview), Final Cut Pro applies gamma correction to the video to more closely approximate the way it would appear on a video monitor.
Note: Gamma correction is not applied to external video outputs such as DV or third-party interfaces because this correction is inherently applied by external video monitors.
If your computer’s graphics card supports gamma correction, Final Cut Pro automatically uses the card for accurate gamma correction. If your computer has an older graphics card that does not support gamma correction, you have two gamma correction options in the Playback Control tab of the System Settings window.
Accurate: High-quality gamma correction. This option is the most accurate but also requires the most processing power.
Approximate: Lower-quality gamma correction. This option leaves more processing power available for real-time effects but results in less accurate color and brightness rendition.
Tip: If your real-time performance is limited, try changing the gamma correction setting to Approximate (if available).
Hope it helps

Dell Computer Problem + DAQ1200 + RS232/4

I try to install NI HW in my new Dell GX240 (1,76GHz P4, 256MB)
NI-PCI-1200 Slot4, PCI-Bus:2,device:10,function:0 IRQ:19, DMA0,1,2
NI-PCI-232/4 Slot3, PCI-Bus:2,device:9,function:0, IRQ:18

NI Valuemotion 5.0.5
NI IVI Engine 1.83
Max 2.2.0
After first starting up ... driver install... etc... I can use MAX-Test
panel
to test the DAQ-1200 card... everything works... (also from Labview
itself...)
When I shutdown my computer and fire it up again, the MAX-Test panel
cannot
communicate with the DAQ card. Failure: on the spec. base address the
device does not answer... or so...
The interresti
ng is, that if I change in Bios the IRQ - I can only
change 9,10,11 with this computer .. and fire the computer up again
the DAQ card works... till I shutdown again...
any hints are very welcome...
Best regards,
Michael
[email protected]

OS: I thought I wrote it : Windows 2000 SP2
T use different positions for the DAQ card is due to space available not
so easy, I need additional a 1409 framegrabber and a GPIB card...
To disable scan for new devices, how can I add other NI hardware and
test?
Plug and pray was disabled...
It looks like, that NI is not Dell friendly or ...

Dell 3008WFP problem

My monitor Dell 3008WFP is broken. No image from computer, just service video with different colors. the authorized service center in Russia say that the company is no longer support this model. Why Dell refuses to support products in Russia? I can pay for work!

Dell does not repair out of warranty monitors, sell monitor components, or have disassembly documentation. We simply exchange the monitor while inside the purchased warranty period and send the defective monitor back to the manufacturer. You will have to take it to a local TV repair center to see if they can diagnose and repair the issue.
* Open the User's Guide page 34
* Run the Self-Test Feature Check. If that passes, the culprit is not the monitor

Dell Laptop Problems

I bought my Laptop off Dell and according to Dell Digital Delivery my Adobe elements is installing but it's been two days now and has yet to be completed. How can I easily install this software to my laptop?

Hi,
You would need to know the version of Photoshop Elements and the serial number.
If it is a new Dell laptop, then it is probably covered by their helpline. They should know what they are installing and how. It might be worth contacting them.

T5400 X-Fi DELL OEM problem?

Hi everybody,
I have recently bought a T5400 5.1 speaker system. My sound card was Audigy 4 which came along with my Gateway system (all system is new). Everything went well at first. Before the computer arri'ved, I bought an X-Fi card from a DELL vendor (I was thinking that it would be a retail version, but it seems it is OEM). I uninstalled Audigy 4 and installed X-Fi card onto the system, I downloaded latest X-Fi drivers because DELL did not send an installation CD. It was first OK, but after a while T5400 went into complete silence while I was playing with effects on a running mp3 (to see the differences)), they are dead. I tried the sound card with another 2 speaker set and they work, so X-Fi seems OK. I also tried T5400 with Audigy 4 again, but they still don't work. Speakers will be replaced but was that just coincidence T5400 fried after I installed X-Fi, or doesn't T5400 work properly with X-Fi? Because, I am planning to use the same card with my new T5400. X-Fi (SB0467) is an OEM card, but it shouldn't create any incompatibility issue on Gateway system. The only difference is some of the decoding hardware, I think. I mean the card is not specifically produced to run with a DELL computer. Thanks...

The speakers are definitely compatible with X-Fi soundcard. It's probably just a coincidence.
