Digital Cinema Display View grayed out sometimes

This view is there sometimes and sometimes it is grayed out. At first I thought it was because I didn't have the Timeline selected but then I figured out I can't figure out why it's there only sometimes LOL. Any ideas?

Well I read in the users manuel and it told me the solution a simple "Refresh Video Devices" fixed the problem.

Digital cinema display

I should know this but is there a keyboard shortcut to go into full screen digital cinema display...it is a real pain to go to view, etc., etc., etc,...I am still saddened that with hdv I can not use an external monitor...o well...thanks as always... tbonfire

Set it up in View>Video Out then Cmd-F12 will toggle it on and off.
Not sure if this will work with FCE, but you might want to take a look at the Matrox MXO box. It puts an HD signal on a separate monitor and adjusts the color and gamma for video display.

HT1578 I have found that I can't access the contents of the encrypted disk in time machine backups. The Finder window displays a grayed-out icon representing the disk. Can this be remedied?

Want to use a TV as a third monitor for Digital Cinema Display....HELP!

Hey Guys,
Here's my set up, please tell me where I am going wrong:
I have 2 22" LCD Monitors that I use for my main work. I added a second card to my MacPro so that I could add an additional monitor. Now I have a DVI to HDMI cable going to my Plasma that I want to use as playback for clients and such. Here's where it gets weird... In After Effects, I can use the Plasma in Digital Cinema Preview for Playback and Previews...works great. Then, when I open up Final Cut I have problems. First, when I go to "Digital Cinema Desktop - Full Screen" it display one frame and stay on that one frame even during playback. So then I changed my Sequence settings thinking my TV couldn't handle that Sequence. No I get a White Screen with no playback at all, not even the one frame. Now the weird part is that if I change the TV to my "Main Screen" in Monitor Prefs, and set Digital Cinema to "Main" it plays back fine. So, if I can playback with it as my main, why can't I playback otherwise? And...if it works in After Effects, why is Final Cut Having Problems with it? It's set to "All Frames" and "Desktop Mirroring". Thoughts? I have seen this set up work before...what am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to find out much the same thing. I would assume that anyone knows the answers can help both of us.
I'm purchasing a new Mac Pro desktop. I also use final cut but not after effects.
I actually have 4 monitors to choose from. 2 Dell 19" - One 27" Apple cinema display and a spector High Def 1080i monitor that has a DVI input.
I would like to use one of the Dell's as my primary home desk top monitors with folders and all the usual dock and stuff. I would like to use the cinema display as my primary final cut work surface.
I would like to use the HD monitor to show HD footage and use it as a client monitor. Remember it has a DVI input.
I've talked with the folks at the Local Apple store and they are not sure if I will get a real HD signal on the HD monitor if I add a second radeon 2700 card to the computer and take on of those DVI outputs and attach it to the HD monitor.
If thats not possible can I use the apple cinema display as my playback monitor?
Or do I have to go with a conversion box like a mxo, AJA board, or decklink box.
The goal is to have two monitors for the program and One monitor in HD for the client monitor,
Thanks everyone in advance.

Why is my "hide toolbar" in the View grayed out. I am not able to show the toolbar.

I cannot keep the Safari toolbar showing. The "Hide Toolbar" in the View tab is grayed out. Also, I cannot get the dock to not hide.

DW-CS3 / Split/Design View grayed out

In Dreamweaver CS3 (9.0.3453), when starting a new site, only
the CODE preview button is available - Split/Design views are
grayed out.
Also, everything in the submenu under View > Visual Aids
is also gray
Also, Refresh Design View is gray.
I'm a visual kinda guy, and haven't been able to find a fix
via Google.
NOTE: Everything was ok when first loading, then blew out.
Haven't been able to fix, and reinstalling doesn't work (I use Revo
Uninstaller to totally remove, so as to get a clean install -
nothing)
Many thanx for any help.

I think it is probably the type of document you are creating,
for example if
you go to open a javascript or xml or css document, it goes
to code and
grays out the disign and split views. So you might be opening
the wrong type
of document.

Design view grayed out

Hi
Design view is grayed out for build 13875 on a large project. When a component is dragged in, a white circle with a diagonal line appears (can't put it here indication). Design view is visible and works well on small projects, like button skins. Clicking the refresh button doesn't bring back design view. It's a drag working blind. Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks for reading.

Help!! Apple 23" Display is graying out after running for 20 minutes.

My Apple display is greying and plad-like patterns after being on for 20 minutes. I thought the video card was getting hot so I opened up the computer and turned on a large fan to cool it. it would still go grey after about 30 minutes. Then I bought a new Radeon x 800xt, installed that since it had a built in fan-- still happened. Then ran hardware test; got the 2FAN 4/8: Fan For BACKSIDE message. Reset the SMU. Then I thought I had something wrong with my surge supressor so I plugged directly into outlet. Nothing seems to work.
The screens breaks down in gray and sometimes blue and sometimes stripes.
Does anyone have any ideas? thanks
Ron

Well Apple Hardware Test on the install disks doesn't get updated with OS and firmware changes, so you might be getting a false positive from that.
You should get Hardware Monitor over at Macupdate.com, in the sensor overview window it will give you the recommended fan and temps for your particular machine.
If your fan is dead or not keeping up around with the other like ones, the CPU or GPU temps are off the wall, them you got a problem.
Reset the PRAM and NVRAM, reboot and hold command option p r until you hear the second chime. Reset your clock in system prefs.
See if that works too.
Learn to clone that boot drive, it will save your bacon one day.

MBP and LED Cinema Display Color Washed Out After Screen Saver

When coming out of screen saver, often the color profile on either my LED Cinema Display or the MBP LCD is messed up. The color looks washed out. Simply going to the Color tab in the Displays preference pane fixes this.
How do I get this to stop?
Thanks,
Bobby

My 13" MBP has now started to do the same thing as described. The thing is, it has never done this since I bought it in late July 2009. I have iWork installed, Firefox, Skype, and Pixelmator. I may have a clue, however, for the Apple people: my MBP never did this until last night and this morning. The only thing I changed yesterday was removing the 2 gig of memory and installing 4 gig. I also tried the translation widget for the first time.

OWB 10.1 Deploy Mgr. - Registration - schema name is grayed out, sometimes

Environment:
Repository - OWB 10.1.0.2 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
Target - Oracle 9.2.0.4 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
Question: I have several locations that have been registered in the past. When I right click a location and click on 'Register' in some cases the schema name comes up grayed out and I am unable to change it and other times it is open.
Why is that and how do I change the schema name of a location?
I have installed the new schema as a target through the runtime assistant and there is a working runtime repository in that instance.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
P.S. Yes, we are making plans to upgrade to 10.2 soon but not soon enough ;-)>
-gary

Hi,
In order to edit/delete a location you need to unregister the location from all the Control Centers. A location might be registered to more than one Control Centers.
Having said that if you have registered location A to Schema B in Control Center C, you need to unregister the location A from Control Center C.
In case you have accidentally dropped the Schema B without unregistering the location A, then even if you unregister the location A from Control Center C, you will still see the user name and password fields grayed out. In that case you need to re-create the schema B, register the location A and then again unregister the location and then you will be able to edit it. Seems to be a bug in OWB.

30" LCD Cinema display - sporadically blanks out, need to restart Mac Pro

2007 vintage 30" LCD Cinema HD display running off a Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon X1900 XT. Was Mac OS 10.5.latest, just upgraded to 10.6.4 with no effect on the problem.
This has happened perhaps 8 or 10 times over the last few months, and IIRC always when I'm playing WoW. I know WoW heats up my Pro more than anything else because I can hear the cooling fans speeding up when I load and play it.
The symptom is the screen goes totally black. The little white light down the bottom-right of the display comes on. If I push the power button on the display the white light goes bright, but there's no other reaction. The capslock light on the keyboard still reacts so I know I don't have a total system hang.
I shut down the whole Mac Pro by holding in its On button for 10 seconds, and it powers down as normal. But the white light on the display is still on, and I have to disconnect the power from the display so the white light goes off; only then I turn the Pro back on and all is well again.
The screen always gets very warm to the touch - I can hold my hand on it OK so it's not burning hot but it still seems too hot to me. Is this normal for this screen? It seems a little odd there are no cooling vents if so. Having just restarted iStat Pro says Mac HD (I think that's the display) is 46c, CPUs and everything else 40c or below. It is coming on for summer here but today is not hot, iStat says ambient is 23c.
So what am I asking for? I guess some sort of validation of my issue, advice, and where I should start diagnosis - display, video, display power, the Mac itself ... or should I just get Apple out here? I do have Apple Care.
Thanks all.

And it's happened twice since then, both while playing WoW. After the latest reboot my temps are 49c for display, 45c and 48c for CPUs. The Mac has been on for over 6 hours before I ran up Wow with no problem, in Wow for maybe 5 minutes and there it goes.
The latest Mac updates to iTunes 10.1 and OS 10.6.5 were applied a few hours ago, well before this latest crash.
My best guess is that either some component has gone temperature-intolerant that didn't used to be, or there is something in the latest WoW version that is triggering some hardware, driver or OS problem. I really don't have much of an idea where to go now. Any suggestions?

Capture viewer grayed out.

Hi all, I seem to have pressed something that lost my capture viewer, everything was working fine ( and still does ), then when I went to capture again after putting in a new tape the viewer wasn't there! Everything else was, including the camera controls etc but no video, I can still capture by using the flip out screen on the camera ( sony pdx10p ) but I would like my video in the viewer back! Can anyone help? I am running 4.5 HD.

Hi Jerry, thanks very much for the reply! I have found out what the problem was, well I say that. I turned off my power book G4 for a while and then turned it back on, and as if by magic all was fine! Basically there was no reason. just did it to **** me off. anyway thanks again. Andy.

FCP 6 playback problems in Digital Cinema Display on an LCD External Monito

Hi
Looking for advice.
I am running FCP 6 and have hooked up my Macbook Pro to an external LCD SAMSUNG Flatscreen TV. I want to preview my edit as I cut but Im having problems with playback.
When I hit play the video freezes on the one still image on the LCD, The canvas windows is playing fine but the LCD playback doesnt move... is this a setting/resolution problem?
Im editing in DVCOPRO HD which i thought may be the issue but even when I switched to editing Jpgs or even DV PAL sequences it still does the same thing!
On some occasions BOTH the canvas window and the LCD dont move at all, only when I turn off the External LCD Cinama Desktop Display monitoring does the canvas window play normally.
Can anyone help with my problem?
Im editing on a Macbook pro 17" 2.4 ghz 160GB with a NIVIDIA 8600 Geforce graphics card 256MB 2.0GB RAM running Final Cut Pro v.6
cheers

I was having a similar problem trying but was set up with a 17" viewsonic as my primary monitor (menubar location) and my MacBook Pro as the secondary. I wanted to play back Hi-Def full screen on the MacBook Pro and all I got was still frames (though I could advance a single frame at a time and see motion).
I didn't find an answer here but went exploring in prefs and found a solution that worked for me.
In System Settings > Playback Control I changed "RT:" from "Safe" to "Unlimited"
Now I'm happily watching the full resolution HD video on my laptop screen.
I'd be curious to know if that works with the Flatscreen TV.
All the best,
Kevin

Digital Cinema Desktop ?

The option under view, for the Digital Cinema Desktop, is grayed out, I can't select it. I have an iMac and no monitors or camera connected.
Any thoughts as to why I can't playback in full screen?
Tom

Hi(Bonjour)!
Try the +refresh video device+ command as stated in user manual, at page 171:
+To quickly choose a different video interface for external monitoring, do the following:+
+- Choose View > Video Out, then choose an output option.+
+If you cannot see external video on your monitor, try the following:+
+- Choose View > Video Out > Refresh Video Devices to update the list of connected devices.+
+Note: This is especially useful if you just connected an audio or video device without quitting Final Cut Express.+

Apple Cinema Display Dimming On Bootcamp Startup (found a fix!)

Hey guys I recently bought an Apple 27 inch Cinema Display to go along with my 15 inch Macbook Pro. Prior to purchasing the display I had installed Windows 7 Professional on my Macbook and used bootcamp to play games etc. I recently had to delete my bootcamp partition and reinstall it (ran out of space and didn't want to deal with winclone/making an image of my system). Everything went perfectly fine except the cinema display would always dim on startup and there was no way to adjust the brightness.
I talked to Applecare multiple times and they came up with zero solutions, but I found a fix myself. If you go into MSCONFIG, while in Windows 7, and turn off bootcamp services from starting at the launch of Windows 7 it doesn't dim the screen and everything works completely fine. I'm making this post to show people how to easily fix this problem and so Apple can fix whatever is making the bootcamp services dim the brightness of the cinema displays.
The problem is indeed 100% caused by the bootcamp services. If I start the computer without bootcamp services running there are no brightness issues. As soon as you open bootcamp services it instantly dims the screen and have to go back to MacOSX to fix the brightness.
Anyone have a clue why bootcamp services wouild do such a thing?
Thanks for your time, I hope this helps some people and I really hope apple looks into this problem.
P.S. Please discuss this topic and add any other ideas on hotfixing this problem.
ADDITIONAL INFO: I am using Windows 7 Professional 64x.

I traced the problem to hardware - I'm running an older Apple ADC 23" Digital Cinema display, so use and ADC to DVI adapter - because of this there is a USB "pigtail" which carries the USB from the rear ports on the monitor into the PC. This works fine in MacOS, but boot into Windows (and I tried XP running NOT in BootCamp and Windows 7 running IN BootCamp) and it seems to hunt and search for this "generic hub" (the USBs in the monitor) and upon not finding them appears to send some kind of signal to that hub, disengaging it or whatever, and dimming the screen. In Windows XP this happens right after the login screen appears, but in Windows 7 it won't happen until AFTER you log in (always thinking "Gee! Maybe this.... time.... ah.... ^%$#@!").
I tested my theory by using WinADC (the add on software that adds brightness controls for Apple ADC monitors to Windows XP - only 32 bit btw) on the XP machine - every time I started up WITHOUT that extra USB connection I was fine. When I started up with it... DIM happened. Then I tried starting it up without it plugged in.... FINE... then plugged it in AFTER full startup and loing... DIM happened. Plugging and unplugging it in in Windows would sometimes re-reveal the added extension for brightness (WinADC) so you could see how the USB was being searched not just for simple connections but for the brightness CONTROLS that are built into the monitors hub it seems.
So, I'm going to try your suggestion here, turning off Boot Camp services, but, for others if that doesn't work: Start up in mac OS, set your brightness, then UNPLUG any additional USB that is being run into the monitor and startup in PC - should be good to go.
