Hopefully someone will answer your question, but you posted your question in the Intel Mac Forum. A G5 question should be posted in the Power PC Forum. If no one answers, I would repost your question there.

I have a new 27"ACD connected to a 27" iMac (2010) and cannot control brightness on the ACD. Also, the option to turn off the ambient light sensor is not available. Tanks for any help.

I have connected a new 27"ACD to a 27" iMac (2010) and cannot independently adjust brightness on the external display. Also, the option for turning off the ambient light sensor is not available. The iMac has the latest updates according to Apple messages. Any help will be appreciated.

No, Detect Displays had no effect. However, I made the USB connection from the ACD to the iMac after the system was on. Following a re-start, all controls are available. Thank you for your response.

Can the ambient light sensor be used to control the monitor brightness?

I have a 3-week old iMac G5-17 1.9 gig machine. It seems wrong that the ambient light sensor is only used to control the level of the power light. Cheap TV sets have had this feature for decades!
Does anyone know if there is a way to apply the light sensor to the monitor?

Hello! Contrast in universal access set to normal, precalibration ColorMath RGB reduce but not solve the brightness dazzling, calibrate profile in expert mode don't work (a friend cameraman with "good eyes" try calibrate a profile with mix result).
I cheat calibration to reduce the brightness problem...
Snow arround my house in Canada have the same "full white brightness" like my imacg5 20' and i put my eskimo goggle for snow to look at my imacg5 20' screen!!
Cheers!

8x DVD media for MacIntel Mini

I've been searching for affordable 8x DVD media for my MacIntel Mini. A number of first grade brands have only burned at 2x, but I think I've found something which will burn at 8x in the UJ-846 superdrive:
Japanese-made Taiyo Yuden 8X DVD-R
Media Silver Thermal
Lacquer 50 Pack in Cake
Box Spindle Premium Line
from Super Media Store dot com
So I don't come off as a total shill, I'll let you do the googling for it
The cost delivered was about 40 cents per disc.
I can't say whether the cheaper bulk-pak versions of this disc will also work, since I have no experience with them.
Hopefully this thread will collect other suggestions for DVD media which burn at 8x in this fussy Superdrive.
iBook G4 800, 640 Meg, OSX 10.3.9 + MacIntel Mini w Superdrive

NO. I don't want an external drive. I want my SuperDrive be Super as Apple called it.
Experiencing the same problem: it burns, seems well, but do not read dvd when re inserted. No more than 20 discs in 2 years and half.
Seems to me that drives used are too delicate (i had the same kind of problem also with my first iMac DV se graphite and its dvd player)
Regarding compatibility with media issue, it's curious my drive is a Sony and has same problem also on Sony DVD-R ver. 2.
Well, as far as i know, laser temperature is the greatest difference between burning and reading, (much higher in first case); this could motivate the look of well burning and not reading at all, if the lens is simply dirty..
Could be that holes of my ball iMac have been designed for a shower??

All laptop drives are a standard size and any SATA Blu-ray drive will fit. Remove the rear mount and bezel from you old one and mount it on the new one.
Here is a thread where the guy has done the same thing, Huffer has provided a video. It talks about a Dell and it's a little long, but it does eventually get to the part where the front bezel's are change out.

This is one from e-bay that will work.

It has been reported that the Sony Blu-ray drives are giving problems, but after reading some of these threads, it sounds more like a software problem.
When you install the drive and boot up, Windows will automatically install the driver(s) for you. HP Media Smart DVD is the only Blu-ray playing software that HP has to offer and it can be problematic.
I would recommend to buy some third party software form ArcSoft or Cyberlink. Keep in mind that Cyberlink makes the software for HP, so if you have problems with MS DVD then they may occur with Cyberlink. You can always use their trial first.
Here is a link to MS DVD, I use this on in my dv8 and it will (should) work in your Dragon.

Save it to the desk top and install it from there, not from a temporary folder. If you are using Commodo Fire Wall and/or AVG anti virus software, these have to be disabled before downloading and installing MS DVD.
If you have problems installing MS DVD, post again and there is trick to get it to install.

MBP 2011 Screen brightness changing regardless of the ambient light

As stated in the subject my brand new MBP 2011 screen brightness changes on its own, yes i know about the ambient light sensor, but my screen is going from med brightness all the way to minimum brightness even though the ambient light is constant. yes I know i can turn it off, but why build in an ambient light feature that just makes the screen go to mimimum brightness when in a well lit room??
or do i have a faulty one??

I too have this problem on my spanking new MacBook Pro. Called AppleCare and they said they weren't aware of this issue.
Meanwhile, this is my 1st mac. Had it for a few weeks now. Decided to open iTunes for the 1st time. The whole MacBook Freezes, no mouse interactivity, reboot required. This happens EVERY time I start iTunes which I no longer do. Apparently it's a known issue which Apple has patched(unsuccessfully). But hey c'mon, I mean iTunes? This is one of the core apps which SHOULD be tested extensively against the hardware. When you consider Apple PROVIDES the hardware, this is simply unacceptable. Unbelievable even. I simply can't believe how poor this is from a major company. But hey my MacBook Pro LOOKS GOOD right, so who cares if it's a technically malfunctioning piece of junk.
Here's my theory. Is part of Apple's patch deliberately reducing screen brightness without user authorisation when the MacBook starts to overheat, all because they know they've been incompetent/negligent with their QA testing and the hardware can't handle the software? If so, why have users not been informed?
I'm from Australia and we have this so-so comedian called Chris Lily who fans have taken to calling a genius, the joke amongst non-fans being the word genius has been dumbed down over the years to be almost meaningless. Anyway, maybe a certified Apple 'genius' can explain the reasoning for the apparently deliberate brightness reductions?

Best DVD Media for Burning

Go to cdfreaks.com "Blank Media" forum and have a read:

Here's a poll for the best DVD+ media:

It's a very interesting forum...basically users looking for the perfect burn. I've replaced my old Apple 2X DVD burner in my QuickSilver with a $30.00 LiteON (Sony) 16X burner and flashed it with CD Freaks firmware for perfect and faster burns...or close to it anyway. But you'll need to use Windows machine to update firmware...pain in the butt!

I just bought a new iPhone 5 today and the Ambient light sensor is not working. What can i do?

Ambient light sensors are not always perfect in their function. To test, go into darkened room, with screen OFF, Locked, tap Home button. Look at screen it should be normal for use in darkened room, turn on bright lights, the screen should brighten to help compensate. If your iPhone does not do this, then Restore iPhone with current iTunes on your computer. See if better. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

Who makes DVD media for Apple?

Like the title says.
Apple media works very good, but like its RAM, it's expensive.
Any known brand is equal in quality at a better price?
Sorry if this has been discussed too many times before

If you have some, you can check the ID on the media. For a DVD media checker go here: DVD Media Inspector
The site is in Japanese but the download is under the Download heading (search for it) and the application is localized and easy to figure out. Just put in a blank DVD, the code is displayed, then go to this page to find out who the manufacturer is: Video Help DVD Media list
MacBook Pro 2.16 1 GB 100 GB 7200 RPM Mac OS X (10.4.6) Mac mini 1.42 1 GB; PowerMac 450 MHz (Upgd. 1.2 GHz)

Is there a wall mount for the late 2012 iMac 27"?

Is there a wall mount for the late 2012 iMac 27"?

There are wall mounts available but they are tricky to fit and need to be sturdy to take the weight of a 27" iMac.
It is a two stage process... you need a VESA Mount Adapter Kit for the iMac and then a suitable wall mount.
Google will help you out.

How can I switch the region code on MBP w/ DVD drive for the 5th and final time?

How can I switch the region code on MBP w/ DVD drive for the 5th and final time? It brings up the window with that world map to do it, including the warning that "this is the 5th and final time I can do this", when inserting a DVD and opening "DVD Player", but it never executes my click on the "Change Drive Region" button prompt.
VLC or Quicktime Player won't play it either, but won't bring up that window to change Region Code anyway....
Otherwise, I'm not having any other issues with this MBP at all. Peak performance on all counts :-)
I tried resetting SMC after chatting w/ Apple Support, but it didn't help.
That was the link they provided. Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac
Tried zapping PRAM as well.
Thanks for any clues, Rene

Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed. However see this also:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25416?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

Where is the controls for the built in iMac camera

Where is the controls for the built in iMac camera? I looked through the System Preferences icons and can not find any reference to the internal camera.

Open Photo Booth in the Applications folder or on the Dock. Any application that can use a camera will operate it, also.

The post-expression for the step 'Set Station Global Models' could not be evaluated.

When running a TestStand sequence, I get the following error message:
The post-expression for the step 'Set Station Global Models' could not be evaluated.
Variable or property types do not match or are not compatible.
Error Code: -17321; Variable or property types do not match or are not compatible.
Although I do understand what the above is telling me, fixing the root cause is somewhat another thing.
I'll explain the scenario. The code is developped in TS4.1.0, although that should be irrelevant.
I inherited a TestStand project which calls LabVIEW modules. The original sequence works fine on the test pc (which is remotely located). The local and remote PC's share the same StationGlobals.ini.
Here is why it is strange.. I do get the error message on the local PC whether I use the old or the new code. I was assuming that using the same StationGlobals.ini would have fixed that, but it didn't.
When I run the old code on the remote PC, I do not get that message, but I do get it with the new code. I don't recall modifying code that affected the StationGlobals. My goal is to fix it on both machines (at least the remote one).
This is the expression that it does not like:
StationGlobals.Models=Locals.Models,
However, that very same expression exists in the original code. The one thing that did change is the addition of a new model number in the Locals.Models.newNumber. I suspect that this contributes to the error. But why does it give me an error when I run the original sequence locally? Maybe I should try running it again..
In either case, any suggestions to overcome the error?
Thanks.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Please ignore post.
I found the problem.. There was a mismatch with the number of models. Easy fix. It's all good.
For someone else who might tumble onto this thread for the same reason, here's an explanation.
I added a new model with its variants to the list of Locals.Models. In total, there were 16 additions to the list.
I also added these to the StationGlobals. Which meant that my StationGlobals no longer matched the one on the remote PC.
Where the error came in is that there was one missing model in the StationGlobals, so the size (number of models) did not match that of the Locals.
Slight oversight in the sea of models that are listed (I'm not even going to count them). Now fixed.
... and embarrassed ...
I may as well give myself an "Accepted Solution".
