Display Static Running 2012 MBA Clamshell

When waking my Air from sleep in clamshell mode I get a fuzzy static screen occasionally, unpluging/repluging the Thunderbolt to DVI fixes it, but its still and odd problem. Anyone else experience this?

Thank you for the response!
I would like to point out this line in the support page you just linked me too:
If you have a 27-inch iMac with a Mini DisplayPort, any other Mac with a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt port can use it as a display.
If I'm reading this correctly, then it should work? My 27" iMac has a Mini DisplayPort, and the 'other Mac' has a Thunderbolt port. If I were to purchase a a regular Mini Display Cable, then the macbook wouldnt recognise it, correct?

  • 2012 MBA won't output to DVI TV

    I have a 2012 MBA that I'm trying to connect to an old LCD TV via a mini display port to HDMI cable that's then attached to an HDMI to DVI adaptor. The TV cannot find a signal from the MBA and doesn't appear in the MBA's display preferences. The odd thing is that the exact same set-up works perfectly with a 2010 MBA and the 2012 MBA connects to a newer HDMI TV without a problem.
    Any thoughts?

    Hello SamUsiskin
    Check out the article below to start troubleshooting the issue. Start with a reset to PRAM and SMC as well as starting up in Safe Mode to see if that resolves the issue.

  • External monitor/display for a 2012 MacBook Pro?

    I want to know if I can connect an Acer S201HL to a 2012 MacBook Pro i7 2.9GHz 8GB memory OSX10.8.1 - I will be using a magic mouse and apple wireless keyboard as well - if this setup will work what specific cables and adapters do I need to get? If at all possible I would consider running 2 displays. also running Parralells with Windows 7 Home Premium.

  • Thunderbolt Display fan runs continuously in sleep mode

    Hello,
    I have a new Thunderbolt display and new Macbook Pro 15" just setup.
    I have been running in clamshell mode without any problems, but when I put the Macbook to sleep, the fan inside the Thunderbolt Display starts running quite loudly. When entering sleep, the display goes black and seems to be off, but after a few seconds the fan starts up and I can feel a stream of air coming out from under the display (the screen stays black).
    The Macbook itself seems to be sleeping ok (the led on the side slowly flashes).
    The fan in the display seems to run continuously at high speed: I left it in sleep overnight, and the fan was still running in the morning.
    When I wake up the Macbook, the screen turns on and then the fan cuts back to normal (quiet) levels.
    The various Thunderbolt software updates were all installed OK yesterday but didn't make any difference (the problem was there before and after installation).
    (I also noticed that if I just plug in the power to the display, without the macbook cables connected, the fan will also run at high speed and never turn off, thought the screen itself seems to be off.)
    Anyone else experiencing this or have any ideas how I can fix it?
    Regards,
    Ben

    I hope you guys can get Apple to replace the display.
    I have now received my replacement display and it works fine. No fan when the computer is sleeping or when the TB cable is disconnected.
    If you are going to pick up a replacement screen in a store (or if you are buying a new one), I'd suggest you ask them to unpack it and plug it in while you are still in the store.  This particular problem seems to be apparent within about 30 seconds of the power being plugged in (make sure no computer is connected to the Thunderbolt port).
    The store is often noisy and it may be difficult to hear the fan. So to test it, hold your hand under the bottom edge on the left side of the display (as you face the front of the screen) and see if you can feel the air stream from the fan (you will need them to peel back the plastic wrapping from that edge first, otherwise the vent is blocked). The fan does not turn on straight away when you plug in. I found it can take 30 seconds or so to start up.  With the faulty display, the blast of air is quite obvious to feel.
    I bought another Thunderbolt display recently (at an authorised dealer, not an Apple Store) and made sure that they let me do this check before accepting it. Fortunately it was completely silent and no fan started running when the power was plugged in. They initially thought I wanted to check the screen itself, so at first they had it plugged in to a Macbook to show something on the screen, and they thought it was odd I wanted to check the display without anything connected - they hadn't heard of this fan problem before.
    Good luck getting this sorted out!

    I am getting a USB power error when I connect my current generation 32 GB iPod touch to my 2012 MBA. 
    Since both iPod and MacAir are running current software.  I am also starting to get errors from iTunes telling me that my iPod can not be accessed.  Any ideas?  Mac or iPod problem, or BOTH?  Closest Apple store is 250 miles away, but MBA is still under original 1 year original warranty.  Might be time for a visit.

    So I just got my new MBA 13" today and when I try to watch anything on YouTube, I get this:
    I've tried to watch the same video on both my 2010 iMac and Windows laptop, and it works on both of those machines.

    Exactly the same problem with 2012 MBA.  Youtube was working this morning (UK time approx 10 hrs ago), but has now stopped working and displaying the above error message.  Multiple videos tried all show the same message.
    The same youtube clips were tried on IPad, connected to the same network,  and the clips played fine.

  • How to remove display in iMac 2012?

    I would like to know how to remove the display in Mac 2012. It is very important for me to change RAM memory or hard drive by myself without taking the whole machine to the repairment service.  I wish that Apple´s wise designers have considered this matter too.

    If you are talking about the Newest models, the 21.5" model, there really isn't any way to Upgrade the RAM. The screen is glued to the case.
    Take a browse over to iFixIt.com and see the review of the newest model. Very bad repair rating.

    No idea if Windows will do it, but you can run Windows without Bootcamp & have OSX available at the same time, which should give you all the Monitors that OSX uses.

  • External display on late 2012 macmini does not go to sleep.

    External display on late 2012 macmini does not go to sleep, instead the content freezes. After Pram reset it does go to sleep, till it undergoes next system sleep cycle (hibernatemode 25). I need to suspend it to disk because it is an offgrid setup and the power needs to be cut between Sessions. Display is connected to the hdmi port. Runing OS 10.8.4. Reinstalling did not help, neither. I have struggled with this for half a year now, it accured about 2 month after first use of the machine.
    Thank you for possible help!

    Next on my list would be an installation from scracht - wich i would obviously love to avoid
    The bewildering thing is that through a pram reset i can get the display to sleep once again...
    Maybe a hardware prob?
    Might want to check using the thunderbolt port instead, as soon as i can afford the adaptor.
    Anyway i will go to offline world for some time now, on a crazy bicycle tour trough remote eastern europe.
    I would love to hear from you on an occasion of a peek to cyberworld during my trip!
    So long

  • A document page opens that is too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor

    How do you fix a problem where document pages open that are too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor? The borders are off the monitor so there is no window edge to grab and adjust.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • ICO file not displaying at run time?

    Hello Experts,
    I an using fusion 11.1.2.1 32 bit. I have Copied the Icons as well as GIF files in C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_FRHome1\forms\java folder.
    At button property i set Iconic to yes
    and file = addrow
    Icon not display at run time.
    but when i set file = abc.GIF
    image is displaying at run time.
    My doubt is that ICO file not displaying at run time while GIF file are displaying.
    Do i need to change configuration ?
    Please do the needful.
    Thanks
    Yash

    Hi Yash,
    First Try this steps
    To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
    Double-click My Computer, and then click Options on the View menu.
    Verify that the Icon file type appears on the File Types tab. If the Icon file type does not appear in the Registered File Types box, skip to step 10.
    Click Icon in the Registered File Types box, and then click Edit.
    Verify that the following settings exist, and then click OK:
    The Description Of Type box contains Icon.
    If there is a Confirm Open After Download check box, it should be selected.
    If the settings do not appear exactly as listed in step 4, click Remove, click Yes, and then click OK. If the settings do appear as listed in step 4, skip to step 10.
    Click New Type.
    In the Description Of Type box, type Icon.
    In the Associated Extension box, type ICO.
    Click OK, and then click Close.
    Use Registry Editor to view theHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.icokey, and then verify that the default string contains the following value:icofileIf the .ico key does not exist, create it, and then insert the value listed above. If any other values exist in the .ico key, delete them.
    Use Registry Editor to view theHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofilekey, and then verify that the default string contains the following value:iconIf the icofile key does not exist, create it, and then insert the value listed above. If any other values exist, delete them.
    Create a new key in the icofile key called DefaultIcon , and type %1 as this key's default value.
    Quit Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.
    Second Try this
    Simple way
    Copy your images to:
    1
    c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\java\ 
    Notes:
    - Icon files may not be supported.
    - In case of a Java security issue when using gif images, you will need to create a jar file and sign it with oracles sign-tool (see below, point 6).
    - In case you having trouble with oracle’s sign-tool, do it directly with java’s
    Recommended way
    1. Create a “icons” folder and place all your gifs in there
    i.e. “c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\java\<icons>”
    2. From within icons folder make a jar file of all the gif images:
    1
    jar -cvf frmicons.jar *.gif 
    3. Copy this new jar into “c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\java\”
    4. Edit/update formsweb.cfg file:
    path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\<my_domain>\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.1\config\formsweb.cfg  …to update/include:
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    9
    # Forms applet parameter 
    codebase=/forms/java
    # Forms applet parameter
    imageBase=codebase
    # Forms applet archive setting for other clients (Sun Java Plugin...etc)
    archive=frmall.jar,frmicons.jar
    # Forms applet archive setting for JInitiator
    archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmicons.jar
    5. Edit/update Registry.dat file:
    path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\<my_domain>\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.1\config\forms\registry\oracle\forms\registry\Registry.dat
    1
    2
    default.icons.iconpath=icons/ 
    default.icons.iconextension=gif
    At this point your icons should work normally, but if you get a security check of Java for gif files then proceed to the next step to fix this. TIP: May need to restart the weblogic/forms server for changes to take effect.
    6. Sign your jar file with oracles sign_webutil.bat sign-tool.
    path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\bin\sign_webutil.bat
    Firstly, you need to edit the sign_webutil.bat as follows:
    1
    2
    3
    SET KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=my_password 
    SET JAR_KEY=webutil2 # will need to change for every run
    SET JAR_KEY_PASSWORD=my_password
    Secondly, set the environment path and finally run the command:
    1
    2
    3
    set path=c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\jdk\bin 
    cd c:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\bin\
    sign_webutil c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\java\my_icons.jar
    This will create your signed jar file. Once initialized from the web-app it should ask the user to “Trust” the certificate and never prompt again.
    Other issues you may encounter and may need to edit/update the following files/registry entries as well:
    formsweb.cfg
    path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\<my_domain>\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.1\config\formsweb.cfg
    1

    2
    UI_ICON:<path_to_icons_dir> 
    UI_ICON_EXTENSION: "gif": ".gif" "ico": ".ico"
    Credits and further information can be tracked for icons issue here and for jar file creation here.
    Hope this will help.

    sure you can use keys to control volume.
    if you've got volume keys on your keyboard then you can use
    ((0, 0x1008ff11), spawn "aumix -v-6") -- volume--
    ((0, 0x1008ff13), spawn "aumix -v+6") -- volume++
    ((0, 0x1008ff12), spawn "amixer set Master toggle") -- mute
    else you can use other keys (like up/down) as keybindings to aumix & amixer.
    you can always use /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB for keysymbols
    hope that helps

    Can anyone shed some light on any changes that would have effected this?

    Hi, I have a similar problem. I did attempt the *.rdf fix on a test system, but it didn't work (em:maxVersion was already 22).
    We got about inflow of phone calls from our clients experiencing the problem mentioned above from the 2nd of July onwards... and more are phoning in.
    All the complaints come from clients (+- 10 so far and rising in number) using Firefox v22 (we have checked), and all of them have said that it was working previously.
    We downgraded one of the clients to an older version of Firefox, and it worked again. So far we are telling our clients to downgrade until a fix comes out, or use Internet Explorer (*blush*)
