External display... just doesn't work
Hi all,
I have been scouring forums for this problem, but it seems to be relatively uncommon, so I wonder if I am just missing some very basic steps or something.
I have an HP LP2065 monitor that works fine with my PCs. I just got this new macbook, and to use the monitor I got the Apple VGA to mini DVI connector. When I connect the monitor the macbook can detect it (right down to model number) and it lets me choose mirroring, resolution, bitrate, etc. Each time I do so it even enticingly goes black for a while as if something is actually happening. But throughout all this the monitor does not detect any display, it just tells me to "Check Video Cable" and then goes to sleep after awhile because it's not getting any info.
Weird things also happen such as the macbook not waking up properly or showing a black screen when I turn it on, until I unplug the monitor.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Hello. Your problem is common. I use an HP SB21. The Macbook does appear to have some compatibility issues with certain brands of external display.
Please see this thread for a solution that worked for me: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1731505&tstart=0
I hope it works for you. Goodluck.

ISight just doesn't work on Windows 7 64Bits
I'm a new MacBook Pro user for a few days. I was attracted by the design of MacBook and knew I could install Windows on it, so after shopping for some time, I decided to get MBP 13". I got Windows 7 64Bits installed yesterdat; all the drivers are installed as well. I went to Control Panel\System, and I saw "Built-in iSight" listed. However, the camera device just doesn't work. In Control Panel, I didn't see the "Imaging and Scanning" icon. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver and no luck. I'm already using the latest Boot Camp, and I just don't know what to do now. I really need the camera working. Can someone help?
Does this help? http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11953256#11953256

Time Machine Just Doesn't Work Anymore
I was a happy Time Machine (with Time Capsule) user for months. But it just doesn't work anymore. It takes longer than an hour to do every hourly backup so it is backing up 24 hours a day. It finds hundreds of thousands of files changed every hour and tries to back them up. Finders says only tens of files have been modified all of today. I have tried rebuilding my spotlight indexes, repairing my Time Capsule with Disk Utility and starting over with a brand new backup. But it just backs up hundreds of thousands of files every hour. So I am turning off Time capsule since it is clearly broken. If anyone has any suggestions at all I would welcome them.
Marcia,
Consider the following, it might give you some ideas:
Time Machine performs backups at the file level. If a single bit in a large file is changed, the WHOLE file is backed up again. This is a problem for programs that save data to monolithic virtual disk files that are modified frequently. These include Parallels, VMware Fusion, Aperture vaults, or the databases that Entourage and Thunderbird create. These should be excluded from backup using the Time Machine Preference Exclusion list. You will, however, need to backup these files manually to another external disk.
One poster observed regarding Photoshop: “If you find yourself working with large files, you may discover that TM is suddenly backing up your scratch disk's temp files. This is useless, find out how to exclude these (I'm not actually sure here). Alternatively, turn off TM whilst you work in Photoshop.” (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1209412)
If you do a lot of movie editing, unless these files are excluded, expect Time Machine to treat revised versions of a single movie as entirely new files.
If you frequently download software or video files that you only expect to keep for a short time, consider excluding the folder these are stored in from Time Machine backups.
If you have recently created a new disk image or burned a DVD, Time Machine will target these files for backup unless they are deleted or excluded from backup.
Installing new software, upgrading existing software, or updating Mac OS X system software can created major changes in the structure of your directories. Time Machine will backup every file that has changed since the installation.
Files or folders that are simply moved or renamed are counted as NEW files or folders. If you rename any file or folder, Time Machine will back up the ENTIRE file or folder again no matter how big or small it is.
George Schreyer describes this behavior: “If you should want to do some massive rearrangement of your disk, Time Machine will interpret the rearranged files as new files and back them up again in their new locations. Just renaming a folder will cause this to happen. This is OK if you've got lots of room on your backup disk. Eventually, Time Machine will thin those backups and the space consumed will be recovered. However, if you really want recover the space in the backup volume immediately, you can. To do this, bring a Finder window to the front and then click the Time Machine icon on the dock. This will activate the Time Machine user interface. Navigate back in time to where the old stuff exists and select it. Then pull down the "action" menu (the gear thing) and select "delete all backups" and the older stuff vanishes.” (http://www.girr.org/mac_stuff/backups.html)
*TechTool Pro Directory Protection*
This disk utility feature creates backup copies of your system directories. Obviously these directories are changing all the time. So, depending on how it is configured, these backup files will be changing as well which is interpreted by Time Machine as new data to backup. Excluding the folder these backups are stored in will eliminate this effect.
*Backups WAY Too Large*
If an initial full backup or subsequent incremental backup is tens or hundreds of Gigs larger than expected, check to see that all unwanted external hard disks are still excluded from Time Machine backups.
This includes the Time Machine backup drive ITSELF. Normally, Time Machine is set to exclude itself by default. But on rare occasions it can forget. When your backup begins, Time Machine mounts the backup on your desktop. (For Time Capsule users it appears as a white drive icon labeled something like “Backup of (your computer)”.) If, while it is mounted, it does not show up in the Time Machine Prefs “Do not back up” list, then Time Machine will attempt to back ITSELF up. If it is not listed while the drive is mounted, then you need to add it to the list.
*FileVault / Boot Camp / iDisk Syncing*
Note: Leopard has changed the way it deals with FileVault disk images, so it is not necessary to exclude your Home folder if you have FileVault activated. Additionally, Time Machine ignores Boot Camp partitions as the manner in which they are formatted is incompatible. Finally, if you have your iDisk Synced to your desktop, it is not necessary to exclude the disk image file it creates as that has been changed to a sparsebundle as well in Leopard.
Let us know if any of this helps.

My Apple TV Gen 1 just doesn't work
Hello,
I have setup/reset/setup this device so many times it just drives me crazy. I honestly believe that this technology just doesn't work.
I have an iMac running the most up to date version of OS X 10.6.5, I have the latest version of iTunes, 10.1.1. I'm using the Airport Extreme.
I have followed the directions to the letter!
Please help!
Thanks,
Aloha
John
I have a number of movies, etc on my pc but to make things easier, i just opted to a custom sync, display only those items i have selected, and chose 3 movies only.
I can see them on my tv, but when i select play, i always get an error indicating that this device is not authorized to play the content. I have deauthorized/authorized my pc many times.
I'm thinking about just dumping all my apple products and just stick with a microsoft based pc.I am having the SAME issue. Just bought the Apple TV 1st Gen. from AppleStore, then followed the instructions to the letter. I am using iMac 10.5.8, Airport Extreme Base Station, AppleTV, and I have the most up-to-date iTunes and also made sure AppleTV is up to date. I get the same stupid error messages indicating the device is not authorized. Called Apple (no)Support, and was walked through restarting all my devices (like I didn't already try this, but just to make 'em happy, did it again...), didn't resolve the issue. "Steve" was like "...hmm, that shouldn't be doing that..." Really, dude? Maybe that's why I called you. Thanks for your time. Hope you guys enjoy my money I gave you.
Anyone have any ideas? I am about to pack this thing up and send it back. When I purchase ALL Apple products that are advertised as being able to just plug and go, it should freakin' work. -
Portege Z930 - Display Driver doesn't work correctly
Hello,
we have a Portege Z930 with Windows 7 64 bit in use where the Intel Display Driver seem to work incorrectly.
First problem is the slow presentation on display - if we open a picture (simple JPG) and move the window, the window frame will break during the move and be shown very bizarre.
Next we installed a dynadock U3.0 docking station for using two external displays additionally. This works even worse. For the docking station we used the driver from the CD included on delivery, and we connect it over an USB 3.0 slot.
On booting switching onto the 2 displays instead of the internal notebook display doesn't work - so we use the workaround of using an extended desktop over all 3 displays (2 externals and the internal notebook display as third).
In Internet Explorer we had to switch off GPU Rendering and use Software Rendering instead because otherwise we observed critical misfunctions on the external displays (having 2 windows open the display froze or couldn't show moving windows). Nevertheless the display is not satisfactioning.
We already tried 3 different versions of the recommendet Intel Driver which is also offered by Toshiba for download; we loaded it there and also 2 more versions (one newer, one older) from Intel directly.
So how can we get that working correctly?
Thanks in advance and regards,
N. CochemsMost importantly. make sure you have Win7 Service Pack 1 installed. New notebooks have problems running in win7 RTM (no service packs).
Sounds like Windows is using the standard VGA driver instead of the Intel driver. Uninstall all the display drivers from Control Panel->Programs and Features then go to the Toshiba website and install the Intel Chipset Utility then the Intel Display Driver, then go to DisplayLink.com and install the latest DisplayLink driver for the dynadock. The new DisplayLink v7.xx driver fixes many problems found in the v6.xx drivers.
Double check that the Intel drivers are installed correctly in Device Manager. -
ipone 4s display suddenly doesn't work any more. most of the time i can't even unlock my iphone as it puts the numbers itself. and if i am lucky to unlock it opens apps and does everything else whenever my finger comes near the display without even touching it. I did reset and also updated my operating system. But the problem stills shows up... can anyone help please?

L2TP on Cisco ASA 5505, just doesn't work??!
This is pretty urgent, client expects me to have this up by lunch today
So, there is this Cisco ASA 5505 ver 8.4.
Most things work but now I want to setup a vpn connection...
I have done this 2 ways, first by using the "VPN Wizard" in ASDM and then 5 hours later removing everything and configuring from cli.
And it just doesn't work, client (WinXP & Win7) gets "error 792" and sometimes "error 789" (both indicating problem with phase 1, I'm pretty sure of that)
Googling on those gives a few suggestions none works.
All I get in the log on Cisco is the "Error processing payload: Payload ID: 1"
Googling on that only comes up with a few pages telling me this message is caused by an error. (Yeah, I could never have guessed...)
For the cli config, I followed this tutorial carefully (3 times actually...)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/secu...html#wp1117464
I'm using PSK for IPSec, entered same on Cisco and client - checked several times, this is not a password/PSK issue.
Ports opened on Cisco: 500, 1701, 4500
(For a try I opened all ports, no change.)
And here's the "show run":

[SOLVED] External USB mouse doesn't work
I've installed Arch on my laptop and today faced with a problem. When I boot with AC off my external USB mouse doesn't work. Also it looks like USB ports don't work. If I detached AC when working mouse works fine.
I can suppose there is some problem with laptop mode. May be it turns off usb ports to save energy. Anyway quick search doesn't brings any results. If someone give me a hint how to solve this problem I'll be very grateful.
Last edited by avli (2011-07-14 16:53:15)Well, after diving into configs solution has been founded. The point was to disable auto suspend feature in laptop-mode-tools config by setting BATT_SUSPEND_USB variable to 0 in /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/usb-autosuspend.conf
Hope this information will be helpful for users who probably faced with the same problem. Thank you! -
External Combo Drive doesn't work after installing Snow Leopard
This Mini was bought used with a defective combo drive. I purchased a "No-Brand" external Combo Drive (USB connected and powered) off eBay. Everything worked fine under Leopard. I used the external drive to install Snow leopard but could not eject the DVD at the completion of the installation process. I manually ejected the DVD and discovered the external drive now doesn't work with either DVD's or CD"s.
Any ideas what the problem is?
KenMark this up to "cockpit' trouble on my part. The external combo drive now works.

Is there a way to fix an iPod touch 4G home button that isn't stuck but just doesn't work?
A couple weeks ago my home button got stuck. To fix it I found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBfhCmq9VkA&list=WL429346A18D0B1E65 to help me out. The second option of using the charger ended up working, thus making the button work again. It was working fine after doing that but then it got stuck down again and I had to put the charger in and do that again. However, all of a sudden the home button just doesn't work anymore. It's not even stuck all the way down. I can press it repeatedly but still nothing.
I've had the iPod for about 6 months now and got it off of amazon refurbished so warranty is out of the question i'm sure. If it really is broken with no way to fix it then that's fine as i've been using assitive touch for weeks now and am used to it since i've been using it egulary since there's no other way. I just wanted to ask and make sure first before anything else though.Try:

Server 2008 r2 setting up firewall rule that just doesn't work!
I have allocated static ip addresses to a group of PCs, then gone to Server 2008 r2 and gone to Windows firewall with advanced security and written a new custom rule. Am blocking internet explorer, have browsed to where it is lodged on PCs, added the ip
addresses for blocking, in fact followed a detailed set of instructions but it just doesn't work! I am at a loss as to why, can anyone help please, driving me mad now! Thanks.Are you applying ADV firewall rules through GPO. If not then you need to create block rules on the clients i think. but I would create a block rule in GPO and link to these PC's OU.

STP just doesn't work as advertised
So here's my question:
Is anyone out there using this app having the amount of misery I'm having? Does STP seem half baked at this point of its development? It certainly does to me.
I sincerely hope Apple is planning a major update to STP real soon, because frankly, (IMHO) this app just doesn't work as advertised. I am now giving up trying to mix 9 episodes of a show because I can no longer work around the litany of bugs in this program.
This is a major disappointment, and I hope the product manager for STP is listening and moving forward to take corrective action ASAP.Hello Todd,
Where do I begin? Well, let me preface by saying that I feel like I've given STP a fair shot at the show I'm working on (six weeks now). But almost everytime I run into a problem and present it to knowledgable STP users, they reply with "Uh, yeah, I think they know about that one - hopefully there'll be a fix soon".
But here goes with a small sample of bugs - and features that SHOULD be in this app. If you can solve any of these issues, I'd be appreciate it!
- STP will refuse to save a file in the waveform editor if the ORIGINAL filename contains certain (illegal?) characters. Even if you change the name of the file TO BE SAVED to something which "should" work fine, it still won't save. I spent many days tracking this one down because STP gives you no indication as to why it won't save the file.
- STP will not allow you to perform FADES to/from silence in a MULTI-TRACK project (it will allow this in the waveform editor). This forces you to create keyframes on the VOLUME envelope (which requires numerous mouse clicks) to achieve the desired result.
- Sometimes, all the faders and pan controls on the MIXER go grey, preventing any adjustment. The only work around is to recall a user layout (again, took a few days to figure this one out).
- STP will not RELIABLY playback REALTIME EFX on tracks or busses. Often, EFX are simply skipped over (not played back), or they playback incorrectly.
- The ON/OFF parameter of EFX cannot be mapped to AUTO (keyframe) envelope. This is a real pain because you may want to simply turn an effect ON or OFF based on time, without having to adjust other parameters of the effect to achieve the same result.
- STP offers no easy way to navigate (SNAP) to the HEAD or TAIL of a clip on the timeline from the keyboard. The SNAP feature via the mouse is useless in this regard unless your zoomed all the way in.
- STP offers no way to move clips in the TL in user designated increments.
- When applying keyframes to a clip (for volume or pan as an example), STP requires that you manually add keyframes to the beginning and end of the clip - which takes way too long. There should be a way to highlight a clip(s) and with one keystroke, have it add keyframes to the HEAD and TAIL of every clip that was highlighted.
- STP will sometimes report that it cannot playback all the tracks because of bandwidth issues, even when you've got a RAID that will support uncompressed HD/1080i bandwidth.
- STP's screen refresh is agonizingly slow compared to Protools (for example), even when Protools is running on a MUCH slower CPU with far less RAM. Expanding/contract the timeline or tracks is "steppy" and slow.
- STP will not warn you if you're overwriting a clip when dragging from the browser. For example, if you have a clip on TRACK1, and you drag a sound effect from the browser to TRACK1, but it's length is so long that it will overwrite clips that may be out of your view, you have no idea that those clips are now gone or truncated. STP should warn you, and/or allow you hold down a modifier key that forces the clip to fit into the available empty space only.
- STP offers no way to easily copy an effect from one track to another from the mixer. Why can't I click and drag an effect from one fader to another to copy the effect with it's current settings?
- Where are the user adjustments for metering ballistics? Reference levels?
That's it for now!
All the best. -
Am unable to transfer/sync my "Notes" data from iPhone 6 to my MacAir and MacMini PC. Just doesn't work. Please advise.
regards / krishnakumar
Cochin/IndiaThere may be other ways, but the best way I've found is:
Set up an iCloud email account so that you can use the Notes part of this service. Note that I said "iCloud email" not "iCloud" ... you need to enable the email service of iCloud in order to get the iCloud Notes feature. Otherwise, the "Notes" app on your device will only store notes on your device, or maybe sync them with some other email account (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo ... but does so poorly IMO).
On your Macs, set up the same iCloud account as on your iPhone. Now that you've set up the email part of iCloud, you can enable the Notes feature of iCloud on your Macs.
Be sure to set iCloud as the default account to store your notes, in case you have other email services with a Notes feature.
New notes that you create on any device will sync to each other.
Notes that you created before doing all this cannot sync to your Macs, since the notes were not in iCloud. Just turning on iCloud Notes does not cause them to enter iCloud and sync -- you'd have to copy and paste them into a new note, after ensuring that iCloud is the default account for any new notes. -
Brand New everything but just doesn't work as it should
Hello,
Just bought a £2000 HP Elitebook 2.8Ghz with 3gb ram, XP, and a lot a bells and whistles. Installed CS4 production Premium and then the updates for Premiere, Encore, Photoshop and Soundbooth.
Started a new project, connected my Panasonic HVX200 to import DVCPROHD 1080i50 footage - simple you would think.
Wont do it, locks up everytime.
Now I started using Premiere on version 5.1 many years ago but stopped using it on version 6 after getting sick of its crashing and instability.
I went over to FCP and it was a breath of fresh air to say the least.
When Premiere Pro first came out, I tested it on a brand new laptop, crashed within the first minute and that was the end of that !
After 5 years on virtually flawless FCP use I thought I'd try out Premiere again and guess what, nothings changed, it just doesn't work as it should.
How anyone on these forums makes any money from it and keeps their sanity is beyond me.They must have corrected this oversight. I tried it out with the following TXT file, and indeed it no longer worked:
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England nor French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. Quicksand works slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. Why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend. If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call the thing left? Is it an odd, or an end?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
What a pity. I just hope that the queueing is taking less time than in the past. I will look at your info ASAP and report back.
