External LCD connected via mini DP- Dsub keeps switching off in XP

I have a Benq E2200HDA screen connected to Macbook via the adapter. Under OSX everything is fine, but when working with XP the screen turns off for a few seconds every 10 minutes or so. The display doesn't turn off, it looks more like the computer is feeding it a blank input. I installed the newest nvidia drivers but it didn't do anything.
Has anybody encountered this problem and know how to solve that?

Nobody had this problem?

If you just bought the external Thunderbolt Display, you may be able to return it for the LED Display.

Thinkpad Edge S430 - Windows does not detect external display connected via HDMI

On a Thinkpad S430 with HD4000 integrated graphics, an external display connected via a HDMI cable is not detected at all when using Windows. The system is fully updated as of the time of posting this message, both via the Lenovo Update tool as well as Windows update.
The Intel driver version is 8.15.10.2696. It appears that this is the latest version, since it does not offer an update when I try to auto-update it via Device Manager.
NB: I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.4.0 on the same machine, and the external display works perfectly fine with this software configuration.
Hence I think that it's very likely that this is a Windows-specific driver issue.
Would Lenovo happen to have a driver update in the works? Alternatively, I will be thankful for any suggestions about possible resolution of this problem.

Are you using the Apple adaptor or a 3rd party

Does anyone get the mouse lag with an external display connected via the display port?

You don't describe the problem in great detail. Is this the issue you are describing?

If so, then, "Yes." I have the same problem. Note that this isn't a tracking speed problem for me, it's a lag between my hand moving and the pointer moving on the external display.

Time machine has losing contact with my external drive, connected via a USB port.

Recently my Time Machine program has begun losing contact with my external drive, connected via a USB port. When I attempt to open Time Machine, it indicates there is no external hard drive. When I click on "setting up time machine" it opens airport utility. I've tried rebooting, run disk utility repairs for both hard discs, pulled and reconnected the USB cable, even completely shut down the system. Eventually the two re-establish contact, but I'm not certain what I've done that causes this. The lost contact appears to happen during the weekends. The external hard drive is a MJaxtor OneTouch 4. What should I be doing to solve this problem once and for all?

I use a little app named EasyFind - free at the App Store. It will allow you to search individual volumes or all volumes.
Download it and see if it will help.

I actually have mounted a 250 hd 5400 hitachi on this machine
Sometime i got a msg while i work with my music program saying Disk running too slow
thanks
Well, yes, it's always a good idea to install a higher capacity internal hard disk. You can then get an external enclosure to house your original 250GB hd so that it can be used for backups and/or additional storage.
As far as the "Disk running too slow" message you're getting, I've never had that message and my external hd that has my iTunes library is 5400rpm. I would suggest that the problem is something else including (but not limited to) perhaps that your external hd may be on it's way out or perhaps too full.
How much free space is there on the external hd? Additionally, how much free space is there in your internal hd?
Have you done any software maintenance recently on both internal and external hard disks?

Can I lock my 6th generation ipod nano whilst listening to it as it keeps switching off if i knock the sleep button

can I lock my 6th generation ipod nano whilst listening to it as it keeps switching off if i knock the sleep button?

Okay, I apologize, belay my last posting :/
This evening after a whole day of working fine (again), I had the same problem, but this time my idea couldn't fix it. One point I'd like to make is to NOT listen to your ears when troubshooting your ipod. When your ipod is turning off, try tuning into the radio. Mine tells me that it isn't recognizing my earbuds and won't even turn on the radio. I'm going to try to clean the connection out, but really? This is freakin' new, Apple people! Maybe its a way for the company to make you purchase new accessories for the ipod they replaced with the recall :/

There is a new Battery for 1 year
If the laptop is off, the battery can be charged. The laptop is operating normally on battery.
From the moment that the AC adapter is connected, the computer turns off.
When I use the computer without a battery but with the AC adapter, the computer shuts down. Test with another AC adapter, the computer turns off.
Could it be that the cable between the motherboard and the DC jack is causing the problem whether this is unlikely ?
Anyone have an idea to help me with this problem ?

Dr. Lamp,
Shut down is not always at the same point. In the beginning this happened from time to time and than more frequently. If i start up the computer now with the AC adapter connected than he doesn't start up completely. He shuts down and reboot or blocked.
To answer your question, I am able to enter the BIOS settings.
I bought the Yannec battery here:
I summarize the tests that I did together:
Loading battery when computer is off = yes
Running applications only with battery = yes
With AC adapter connected = computer shut down and reboot
Without battery, only with AC adapter connected = shut down and reboot
With other AC adapter = shut down and reboot
If it is a problem of the motherboard is it not possible that it can be repaired rather than replaced by a new one?
Many thanks for your patience

N9 keep switching off on its own

my N9 does not power on it keeps switching off on its own....can anyone assist?

So it isn't the sim and not the boot loop. Have you tried charging using any source just to make sure that isn't the charger? Failing that you might have to consider a hard reset.

How to use an iPhoto library, stored on an external HD connected via USB to a Time Capsule ?

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15", connected to a Time Capsule.
My iPhoto library is stored on an external HD, connected to the Time Capsule via USB.
I want to sync my photos with my iPhone (iOS 7.1)
The issue is that iTunes can't display anything in the "photos" tab, within the iPhone section in iTunes.
The search icon is turning, turning, even for hours, and then impossible to activate the sync between iPhoto and the iPhone.
What I do not understand, is that it works very well when the same HD is connected directely to my MacBook via USB.
Why is the sync impossible when the HD is connected to the Time Capsule ?
I have been told that storing an iPhoto library on a network HD is not recommended by Apple, but it seems to work for many users, according to forums.
So I would grant the feedback from users that have a similar configuration to mine.
Thanks
Stéphane

I have been told that storing an iPhoto library on a network HD is not recommended by Apple, but it seems to work for many users, according to forums.
Hmm, well you experience rather contradicts the forums, no? iPhoto is not designed for network access, end of story. If you try use it that way then things fail.
See this article

for more. Note the comment:
“Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”

Online conference participants hear echo when cinema display is connected via mini-displayport, even though I am using headphones with mic.

When I use Google Hangout or GoToMeeting, other participants in the meeting hear an echo of their sound -- loud and obtrusive. When I mute, it goes away.
This only happens when I am using my Apple Cinema Display 27" (recent vintage) connected via the mini-displayport (natively, not an adapter).
On my end, i don't hear their echo, but I do hear waves of squelching -- basically it sounds like their end is trying to adjust their input down to account for what it thinks I saying, even though I'm not talking, it's just the echo making that happen.
Sometimes this doesn't occur -- it seems to crop up intermittently, but happens around 75% of the time at some point in a conversation.
I am using iPhone-compatible in-ear earphones with built-in mic; the earphones are the rubber seal type, so there's no sound escaping them that the system should even be able to hear.
I have my audio set up for "Headphones" as output device.
Input device is set up as "External Microphone" -- this part confuses me because even though I know my Cinema Display has a microphone, the OS seems not to list it as a separate input device. So I wonder if it's getting confused trying to use both the cinema display's mic *and* the earphone mic? (see dropdown image)
OS version 10.20.2; Macbook Air 13 inch, "early 2014" and Apple LED Cinema Display 27inch
Earphones are skull-candy brand iPhone compatible (with built-in mic), plugged into the macbook air's earphone jack. (without the display connected, this has always worked fine -- and with a prior non-apple display that had no mic/camera this was not a problem)
This is an ongoing issue in our office, in fact ... especially troublesome in client meetings.
I haven't tried other configurations, other than when using the Cinema Display's USB connector, the same thing happens.
It also happens even when I'm not using the "USB PnP Sound Device" you see listed in the dropdown here -- that's something I use for controlling music output to my desk speakers.
A general question: is there no way to control the cinema display's mic and/or camera more directly?
(EDITED TO ADD: Ok I see in the Cinema Display manual, there should be a listing for "Display Audio" in the input list, but my SysPref panel has none listed. See other screenshot. I wonder if this is the problem??)

Curious, is the 30-inch Cinema Display you have, one listed in this Support Article:
•Apple Cinema Display (20-, 23-, and 30-inch DVI) - Technical Specifications
or is yours a later build series; which one do you have...? This says Mini unsupported.
The specifications vary across the line of Displays, as do the graphic support in Macs.
I'd suspect your version is a later 30-inch display, but it may be one of these. And a
newer 27-inch Display has the Thunderbolt cable.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!
