G5 with dark display

Hello
I use a PowerMac G5 PPC 2x2GHz with OSX 10.3.8. The Mac works as fileserver and is always connected with Apple Remote Desktop. Now, I like to make an upgrade to OSX 10.5 or 10.4.
For that, I must use a Monitor. But if I connect a Monitor, I didn't see anything on the Monitor. Restart on Mac and Monitor, no effect. It is always dark. I check the Monitor, change it, now difference. My Dealer check the graphic card, it works fine. But not on my Mac.
What’s wrong, what can I do?
I hope someone can help me.

Check you video card in your machine . I think its gone bad if you have a spare on to do that with . if not you can pull out the old card to check the contacts . Also someone on this forum said to heat up the contacts as well , but i would be very careful if you do that one .You mite as well have a bad video card it sounds like it to me .You can get a used one off ebay for a low price.

Dark display

10 year old flat panel iMac with dark display. Boot chime OK sleep OK

Is it too dark to see anything or does it show the icons and windows but looks as if you are wearing dark sunglasses?
If it is totally dark, shine a bright light like an LED flashlight onto the screen near the top of the display and see it you can detect the menubar. If so, the display part is working but the backlighting has failed.

Screen burn-in/ghosting on MacBook Pro with Retina Display

I have had my 15 inch MacBook Pro with retina display for a little over a year now I and I have started to notice that when I am on a mostly white webpage for a few minutes, and then switch to a darker page, there is an obvious screen burn-in/ghosting. Is this something that can be fixed? It's not accidentaly damage, it's a manufacturing problem.
My warranty recently expired. Will I have to pay for repair costs even though this is Apple's fault and not mine? If so, how much could I expect to pay? Is there any way to extend my warranty? How much does that cost?

Just got my second MBPR 13, and it cames again with the not welcome and clear "feature" of IR
When I try to check for the display model with he command
ioreg -lw0 | grep "EDID" | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6
I got this output
@.`0 6
Color LCD
Later I checked it in the colorSync utility
Manufacturer: 00000610
Model: 0000A020
Manufacture Date:CD238700
Not sure if its Samsung or LG, but honestly I dont care, I just want a not faulty display in my new expensive laptop.
Now Im thinking to return it again and Im really paste after waiting for almost a month to receive this second and also defective laptop (I bought it in the online store, 1TB, 16RAM, I7).
Should I return it again? Im thinking that even if the 14 days expires, since I have the waranty,they fix it anytime within the 3 years apple care waranty.
Should I play the lotery?

Photoshop CS5.1 Crashes Upon Opening: "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver-"

Every time I try to open photoshop I get a window that pops up and says:
"Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software.
GPU enhancements can be enable in the Performance panel of Preferences."
Then windows shuts the program down. The details of the problem are:
"Files that help describe the problem:

I'm on a custom Asus
I'm using Win7 Home Premium 64-bit
16GB RAM
Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 2GB video card
Intel i7 core 2.2 GHz
12 GB of memory
The error happens so quickly that I don't have time to do anything. Please help. >.< I've been on hold for *checks phone* 2 hours exactly. Wow. It is a legit copy and was working last month with no trouble. I've updated the drivers and tried a few solutions that have worked for other people that I found on Google (such as disabling CUDA and setting my "power management mode" to "prefer maximum performance" on my video card) but so far nothing has worked.
Thanks in advance!

It has stopped crashing because somehow it turned off "Enable GL Drawing" on its own because I could never even get a menu open. Not sure how it did that but I am grateful. I still get the error when I open Photoshop up but at least it hasn't crashed yet. At the time when it was crashing I never would have been able to get you the system info due to the speed that it was crashing upon just opening the program. In case you still need it:

Macbook Pro with Retina display overheating

I just bought a 13.3" Macbook pro with retina display yesterday and it's been overheating like crazy. Right now I have only Chrome open with this page and it's uncomfortable to put this computer on my lap right now. I watched youtube videos last night and I could hear the fan, when normally this machine is extremely quiet. I'm afraid that because this computer runs so hot, it's going to damage the display. Is there something defective with this machine, or are all the ones in this model the same? Should I get the regular 2012 model instead?

I bought my Macboook Pro with Retina Display laptop during Christmas, only use it about < 10 times because I have other MACs that I've gotten used to.
OSX 10.8.2
15" Retina display
1.8 GHz Intel Core i7
4GB 1333 MHz DDR
A month ago, after not using it for several weeks, I picked up the laptop to move around. Wow - the box was hot like it just came out from the oven Literally - this macbook pro was not used at all - just laying idling, no programs used and was sitting in a dark corner in a room, not exposed to sun or any heat or warm area. I wasn't motivated in using it since. So, it was left laying around the house again.
Today, my son tried to use the laptop - when he touched it, he jumped 'ouch' as the laptop was hot for no reason. Again, not exposed to any warm elements or anything that is running that could have caused it to be hot.
I should have read all reviews on here - I now resented not returning this macbook pro notebook. I don't have time to go back and forth to the Genius and sitting at the bar waiting and wasting my time for something that I just paid and expect it work properly and not wasting my time. Please do something to help regain my confidence in Mac products. Not happy here! I guess I'll have to sit at the genius bar anyway. But just want to chime in that I have the same Macbook Pro overheating problem.

Help! Macbook Pro with Retina Display!

Hi Apple community.
I hope you can help me. 1 year has passed with my Macbook Pro with Retina display (15-incher). Got a small but visible ghostning. All the uper dock is visible in darker background. I couldn't believe it until I discovered with a bit of code and Terminal App, that I had LG screen which many said had problems. I thought I had a Samsung one since I really took care of it and never seemed to notice anything, until now. My guarantee just went out and I didn't purchase any Apple Care because I never thought I needed it and as a Student, my budget didn't allow. It took me 3 months to achieve the amount required for payment for this laptop. What can I do, is there a way Apple could show sympathy and repair my Macbook Pro? I live in Sweden and currently study. All the necessary programs are in my Macbook Pro.
Please share some advice, I'd really appreciate it.

Firstly, I'd like to know which will be the better base model as a notebook... if this is possible?
But, for info sake, I will be using it for composing on Sibelius Software, lots of word processing and browsing.
Small scale photo-editing.
Thanks,

Macbook Pro with retina display waking up

I have a Macbook Pro with retina display, and if it goes to sleep and I try to wake it a couple seconds later, the screen turns dark blue and I can only see the mouse. A couple seconds later it starts working and I can log in. This only happens if I wake it right after it goes to sleep. Help?

That reference code simply means that the test found no errors:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203747
It has been my observation that retina MBP run hotter that the prior generations. In spite of that I think that your best option is to make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have them test the MBP. I think that peace of mind may important for you.
Ciao.

Adjust Arch forum text with dark theme

I have written 2 greasemonkey scripts (these are usually helpful for people with dark themes):
- One that changes the subject box and buttons to white text
// ==UserScript==
// @name Arch Linux Dark Text Fix
// @description Displays dark text on an Arch Linux page.
// @include http://bbs.archlinux.org/post.php*
// @include http://bbs.archlinux.org/edit.php*
// ==/UserScript==
function addGlobalStyle(css) {
var head, style;
head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
if (!head) { return; }
style = document.createElement('style');
style.type = 'text/css';
style.innerHTML = css;
head.appendChild(style);
addGlobalStyle('input { color:white; }');
- One that changes the message box to black text
// ==UserScript==
// @name Arch Linux Light Text Fix
// @description Displays light text on an Arch Linux page.
// @include http://bbs.archlinux.org/post.php*
// @include http://bbs.archlinux.org/edit.php*
// ==/UserScript==
function addGlobalStyle(css) {
var head, style;
head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
if (!head) { return; }
style = document.createElement('style');
style.type = 'text/css';
style.innerHTML = css;
head.appendChild(style);
addGlobalStyle('textarea { color:black; }');
Save those into a text file with a .user.js extension and import them into greasemonkey.

Well, a screenshot wouldn't be of use, because the text is a very dim white, and you wouldn't even be able to see it. Just imagine what it looks like
But here it is anyway. If you look really closely you can see the text "This is white text".

Emac 1.42 ghz external display mirroring will it solve dark display problems ?

I have an emac 1.42 ghz and the display is getting dark I have the contrast turned all the way up and the contrast turned up one notch in the universal access. When the computer is shutdown sometimes when it starts back up it is very dark almost unusable until it warms up or is running for about 20 minutes. Then it is normal. If I use an external monitor on the mini vga port with an apple adapter will it have the same darkness/display problems. I really like this computer but if the external display wont fix the problem I will need to wipe the drive while I still have a useable display

I'd say it's likely to help using a different monitor.
I think you could possibly check by doing a Screen Capture, which I believe gets it frm the graphic card, then view that capture on aniher computer, or post it here for us to view.

Iphone received a knock and then screen has gone blank white with no display or menu settings to turn phone on

iphone received a knock and then the screen had some lines across it and then it disappeared. It is now a dark blank white screen with no display or menu settings to turn phone on so it cant be used..

I can still hear if the phone rings or a message comes through I just have no way to answer or see them as there is no display. It appears to back up and sync...could the knock have moved something out of place I wonder? Tomorrow is my birthday and I really dont want to iss my calls or messages but I will make appt at the genius bar..

NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver

Alienware M14x Laptop
Windows 7-pre 64-bit
8gb ram
3gb Video: NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M
Intel i7 2760QM
AE CS4
AE keeps crashing. I get the following message while doing something as simple as scrubbing through the timeline, or changing opacity of a layer. in 1080p, I have a picture layer, a solid, some color corrections, and that's it. i just got this new computer and i have never had this problem on my old computer.
this message appears after AE crashes."The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver and is unable to continue. The application must close."
this message appears in the taskbar: "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. Display driver NVIDIA Windows kernel Mode Driver, Version 267.21 stopped responding and has successfully recovered"
any ideas on how to stop AE from causing my display driver to stop working?
Thanks, Ramzi Rebeiz

For anyone picking up this thread (it's probably too late for rrebeiz40 by now!) I have come across a simple but apparently very effective tip that has solved the 'OpenGL driver lost connection' issue for many people using various NVIDIA with various Adobe progs (incidentally a lot of these seem to crop up on Dell machines, especially Notebooks).
(It fixed my issue with Premiere Pro CS4 - GeForce GT 555M on Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit, Dell XPSL702X).
It's posted on http://forum-archive.developer.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=5331&st=40 (look for the last post, No 50) as follows:
THIS FIX APPEARS TO WORK...found on an Adobe forum
"This issue led me to this fix: go to NVIDIA Control Panel --> Manage 3D Settings --> Global Settings, and switch "Power Management Mode" to "Prefer Maximum Performance" (the default "Adaptive" setting seemed to be the culprit). And that's it! The key here is changing the "Global" setting, as my individual programs were already set to "Prefer Maximum Performance." I can cause the error to reoccur by changing back to "Adaptive."
Otherwise lots more ideas on this site: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Fix...Nvlddmkm-Error/
My PC has been running for 2 days now. I only put the top fix in for now. Feel happier I have more options if need be though.

It worked for me

Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies

Hi guys - I've got a problem where s.o. might have an idea of how to switch on the light at the end of the tunnel, I am currently standing in:
Requirement:
Cost Center Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN, reporting should be possible for any hierarchy that exists for the authorization relevant info object.
Preferred solution:
The Cost Center Analysis Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN - Hierarchy node assignment.
u2022     A dedicated Authorization Cost Center Hierarchy will be maintained in ECC6 as an alternative cost center hierarchy and extracted into BW.
u2022     The RSECADMIN Hierarchy node assignment should be based on a particular node (Type 2).
u2022     The display level will be specified as required (here: Level 7)
u2022     The Authorization granted should be independent of hierarchy name and version (validity 3).
Reporting Scenario and technical impact:
As mentioned above, when designing and running a query the user should be able to freely select other (i.e. than the authorization) display hierarchies for the authorization relevant reporting object 'Cost Center' as well. The technical names of the semantically relevant hierarchy nodes could therefore vary. E.g. cost centers 1, 2 and 3, being assigned under hierarchy node u2018Au2019 of the RSECADMIN relevant authorization hierarchy, could be subsumed by hierarchy node u2018Bu2019 in another display hierarchy, which the user may want to display in accordance to his reporting needs. Ideally, the alternative display hierarchy should therefore display node u2018Bu2019.
My findings so far (based on prototyping) turn out that this is not possible as long u2018Bu2019 (and its hierarchy) is not authorized in RSECADMIN. Can these findings be confirmed? And if not, would anyone have an idea of how to facilitate the reporting scenario?
Would there be any other way to grant access, possibly based on RSECADMIN single values, and also enable the user to flexibly display hierarchies with only those hierarchy nodes whose single cost center values the user has been given access to?
Thanks everyone for your input...
Claus

HI CLause,
On Jul 14 2009, you wrote in SDN and said:
FYI: Found a solution...
The hierarchy analysis authorization will be based on a navigational attribute of cost center.
With analysis authorizations it is possible to declare the Auth object (e.g. 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0) as authorization relevant and leave the superior object 0COSTCENTER auth irrelevant.
The auth will be given for 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0. This object will be placed as a filter of the query, being restricted by an Authorization variable for hierarchy nodes.
Due to the concept of Analysis Authorizations, this variable will automatically pick up the nodes granted as part of RSECADMIN Hierarchy based Authorization.
As mentioned above, 0COSTCENTER as the regular reporting characteristic remains auth irrelevant and can therefore take any hierarchy thatu2019s available. Reporting on single values will be possible, too. Only those nodes show up that hold the authorized cost centers in accordance to the authorization.
If the auth relevant 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0 is not used in the query definition by either not taking it in as a filter or skipping the Auth variable, the query will launch the message that the authorization is missing. No data show up at all.
Claus
See this thread:
Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies
I am also in the same situation as you and need to understadn your solution. I understand that you created a Nav Attr on 0COSTCENTER and made this auth relevant whilst ensuring that 0COSTCENTER is NOT auth relevant. This is all fine. The issue was you have multiple hierachies for 0COSTCENTER, how did the new Nav Attr help you solve your issue. When loading 0COSTCENTER what values did you load ino the new Nav Attribute and how did that link to the hierachies? Also, in RSECADMIN you created hiearchy nodes based on the Nav Attribute but I am confused as to what values you have in the Nav Attr.
I appreciate if you can share your solution from the past in more details.
many thanks

User command is not getting triggered in interactive ALV with LIST display

Hi experts,
I have developed an interactive ALV report with LIST display. Here, the issue is, when i double click a record in the primary ALV list, the control must go to the USER COMMAND event which i have written in my report. But the user command event is not getting triggered at all when i double click any record.
It gives the following information instead.
"Choose a valid function".
(My user command name and its respective form name are same.)
Here is my code..

            OTHERS                 = 3.
Please advice what is the msitake i have done here..

Read the following code:
pass the i_callback_user_command = g_user_command to the ALV function module and write the FORM user_command USING ucomm    LIKE sy-ucomm
                        selfield TYPE slis_selfield.
as shown below.

How do I get the most out of my Macbook pro with retina display?

Hi,
I am new to apple had an Iphone and loved it and was drawn in by the advertisment for the new macbook pro with retina display and decided to get myself one. I have pretty much taught myself everything so far and I think I have a basic enough knowledge now of working my way round my mac and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how I can look to develop as I feel I have got all the gear but no idea!\
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated,
Cheers

How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?

How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?
Alternatively how do I connect an audio input at a level that would normally have gone into a 'line input' socket ?

Plug it into the linein/headphone jack if there's just one. It'll switch between the two modes automatically depending on what you plug into it.
