Handshake problems with Philips HDTV

Hi, Since I updated to 10.9.1 I have handshake problems with my Philips tv. I can only use it for a couple of minutes then it turns green/turquoise and all the colors are mixed up and I have to reconnect the HDMI-cable to get the colors back. I have had the same problem before with mountain lion but then it was solved by doing this:
1. Download http://www.mediafire.com/?fdz29bgsg3zm653
2. Unarchive it
3. In the Finder, go to (using cmd-shift-G) the directory /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/
4. Place the entire directory you unarchived in step 2 (DisplayVendorID-410c) in the directory /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/
5. Reboot
Now unfortunately I cannot get it to work by doing the same. Does anyone have the same problem and maybe a solution for it?
I would be very greatful!
/Niklas

Hi,
I can see that I'm not the only one with the same problem. But yesterday I gave the DisplayVendorID-410c one more chance and it has actually worked since that for me. Now I have had it on for maybe 5h in a row without that the screen turning green/turquoise. I don't know why it didn't work earlier maybe I just have been lucky now. But I suggest that you all give it one more chance, maybe it will also start working for you guys. I hope iyou have the same luck as me, because I know how frustrating it is when things doesn't work!
I repost one more time what I did:
1. Download http://www.mediafire.com/?fdz29bgsg3zm653
2. Unarchive it
3. In the Finder, go to (using cmd-shift-G) the directory /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/
4. Place the entire directory you unarchived in step 2 (DisplayVendorID-410c) in the directory /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/
5. Reboot
Good Luck!

HDMI connection problem with Olevia HDTV 237T

I have a problem with the Fios HDTV box not communicating via the HDMI cable to my Olevia HDTV 237T. Every time I start up or change channels from HD signal to SD signal, the TV goes to blue screen with no signal. The only solution found so far is to unplug the HDMI cable from the TV and plug it in again. I tried an HDMI switcher box in-between but with no real difference in the result. Is there a solution to be found before I wear out the connectors on the cable?

The only other thing you could do would be to try upgrading the firmware on your television. That might fix the HDMI sync issues. If it doesnt, the only other option would be to use a component cable. It will give you the same 1080i quality picture that our set top box puts out. That HDMI sync problem is the biggest problem that any device that communicate HDMI can encounter. I'm sorry for the trouble you are experiencing.

Problem with plazma HDTV as external display

I have Panasonic HDTV 42" , which i use as external display. I try to connect it through miniDVI to HDMI adapter. Sometimes it works just fine. Just turn on tv and macbook use it as external display. But sometimes it does not work. When i turn it on and turn it off, i can see blink in macbook display, so maybe something wrong with TV. It have tried connect to diff HDMI port, connect, disconnect, everything, it does not work anymore. Yesterday, i had the same problem but somehow i fixed it, today i have the same problem. Maybe it is about spaces or ..i just do not know..If someone had the same problem and fixed it , so it would be great to hear suggestion.
Thanks
P.s. Sometimes i got this problem in Windows, but after several rebooting,reseting and reconnection it usually got fixed

Hi!
In the problem i described above i was using: TV->HDMI->DVi-->miniport To DVI-->Mac. However,
I have tried to connect my macbook to normal 22 display using macbook-> miniportToDvi-->ext display. and everything works fine. So i assume that problem is with my HDMI to DVI cable. I will try to find another one tomorrow and it should fix the problem.
Thank you anyway, mate

IBook G4 with Philips HDTV

Hi All,
At the moment I attempting to connect my G4 to My new Philps Pixel Plus HDTV. The Cables which Im using are HDMI to DVI-D with DV-I (female) - 15 (Male) adapter to another adapter to fit my G4. I know its messy is there another way??
However the main problem is it doesnt seem to work. I was hoping to play DVDs etc onto my TV though it isnt working. What am I doin' wrong? Or is it possible?
Thanks,
Magnetic

Will_3rd is right, your iBook doesn't have DVI output. To output DVDs to you TV you'll need the Apple Video Adapter, a video cable (either s-video or composite depending on the inputs on your TV, s-video would be better) and an audio "Y" cable to get the audio into your TV. I've written a FAQ about connecting your iBook to the TV here:

N8 background noise problem with Philips SHE9850

I just bought N8 to replace my 5800XM. N8 is good so far until I plug in the ear phone which I used from my 5800XM time, Philips SHE9850.
The problem is I used this earphone from the time that I still use 5800XM and it works great. No noise at all.
Now, when you play any sound from N8 (anything from clicking menu button, play movie, listen to music, play games etc). It produces static noise that is very noticeable/annoying in the earphone (since Philips SHE9850 has quite low impedance so you will know right away). Especially, the dialogue (speech) or the quiet part of the song. When you slide the side button to lock the screen, after it goes dim, the noise goes away even the music still playing which is so strange.
Do any of you have similar problem like me? I am going to visit Nokia Shop that I bought the phone on this Friday and test with the demo phone. Don’t know what will be the result but I am so disappoint with this issue. If you have any experience, please share with me. Thanks.

You guys are worrying me. My N97 has top notch audio output. If N8 has worse, I don't want it.
I remember that N95 had similiar issue when screen was turned on.
I was getting a slight pop/hiss on my N97-00 when each MP3 loaded. The same behavior exists on the N8. Could it simply be something to do with the way the codec is utilized by the phone. I didn't find it that distracting.

Problems with Philips DS3205/12 docking station since iOS 7.1.2

Hi there,
since the last iOS update (7.1.2) my iPhone 5s has trouble playing audio and charging with my Philips DS3205/12 docking station.
The docking station is 6 months old and was working perfectly fine with both my iPhone 5s and my girlfriends iPhone 5s.
Since the last iOS update of 3 weeks ago it starts with playing audio and charging, but after a couple of minutes it all stops
and the phone gives the message 'this device is not supported'.
I did everything with the iPhone already (rebooting etc) and already had a chat session with somebody from Apple.
Her conclusion was that the software of the docking station had to be changed.
First of all it's Apple which changes software, not Philips.
Second, I don't think a docking station has any software you can change or update.
Any more people with this problem?
And is there any support to be expected from Apple?
It shouldn't be possible that after a iOS update, my accessories are not compatible anymore, especially if they're less than a year old.

I have a similar issue. Two days ago I upgraded to iOS 7.1.2 and now I can't dock with the "iHome Dual Charging Stereo FM Clock Radio". I'm 99% sure that something in the iOS upgrade has made it so that I can not dock.
This is really frustrating as it essentially made my docking station unusable anymore. The docking station worked just fine before iOS 7.1.2.

Resolutions problems with Philips LCD Monitor

Hi all,
I have a new MacBook Pro with the Mini Display Port and today I have bought the DVI adapter for it. On my previous MacBook Pro I could happily use 1280 x 800 resolution on my external display using a single DVI cable straight to the MacBook Pro but i am only getting 1024 x 768 on my new laptop with the adapter (no widescreen resolutions).
Can someone please help me?
Many thanks and merry christmas.

What Philips monitor is this? What is its native resolution? Is 1024 x 768 the top choice you are seeing in Displays preferences? Is the Philips properly identified or is it being identified generically like "RGB Display" or something like that?
It's possibly some kind of failure on the part of OS X to read the monitor's driver data (EDID) but it's hard to say why that might be happening. It could be you got a defective adapter.

Handshake Problem with external video

I have a 13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008 MacBook. After upgrading to Mountain Lion I cannot get my mac to connect with any external video device: projector or TV. My mac can't detect the external device even when I go to "Detect Device" In System Pref.

How many months must pass before apple addresses this, this has been a known issue since July at least. Every display in my place has issues with this nonsense, and the only real solution has been to downgrade back to Lion. I can only do this with my home machine as my work laptop must remain updated to match the work system. This sort of thing drives me so crazy I can't even begin to voice my anger, why did I pay this company to upgrade my technology when all it did was force my monitors to go dark?

Mini-DVI to HDMI output to Philips HDTV not working with Yosemite

I've recently upgraded to the Yosemite OS, and was surprised to find out that the output to my Philips HDTV no longer works. I have a Mini-DVI to HDMI converter, which I then plug into the TV. Before the upgrade everything worked fine (I think I was running 10.7), however now it just says "Video format not supported". I've tried every video format too...nothing seems to work anymore. With my friend's Windows laptop direct output via the HDMI port to the TV works fine, so it's not a hardware issue.
The Philips TV is an 8000 Series HDTV and I've already checked for the latest updates, but it says the software is up-to-date.
Anyone have a similar problem or know of any solutions???
Thanks in advance!

I would contact Phillips and see if they have a solution.
Ciao.

Problems with HDTV and an AGP Sawtooth

Hello, I have an old but solid G4 Sawtooth that I'm looking to use as a media PC plus a bit of browsing in a second room. I also have a Lexsor 32" LCD HDTV that I'm looking to use as the display, connecting via VGA. I have previously used this TV as a second monitor with my windoze machine and know that it willl handle 1024x768 @60hz, 1280x1024 @ 60hz, 640x480 @ 50 & 60hz and 1280x720@60hz. When I connect the tower to the screen and boot up it shows the Apple screen, chimes and does everything normally untill it gets to the point of login, at which the display goes wierd (out of proportion and flickery) then blank before informing me that the signal is out of range.
From experiments with other screens I have available, a standard 15"lcd monitor and a philips HDTV with VGA input it seems that the mac reverts to a resolution of 800x600 @ 60hz which is not in range (obviously) for the lexsor screen, meaning I can see the in-range apple screen (640x480) before thinks go blank.
So here's where I need the help, is there a way to default to 1024x768 on detection of the new display? Or is there a way to use my eMac to login and change the preferences on the tower after it has gone to the out of range resolution?
I've learned a lot and solved a good few problems since I picked up these machines, but this one has me stumped...thanks in advance for the help!

I have tried that, but not since I did a clean reinstall so I will try again. When I did try it it told me I was out of range once it had gone past the apple logo. I have also tried zapping the PRAM, and a new battery, which it really needed anyway.
Thanks by the way for the speedy response!

InDesign problem With Https cURL Seems Very Slow at first time to handshaking to server

I am trying to connect the server using cURL from Indesign, but when i am trying to call to server the indesign takes so much time to open and initialize the socket it takes 25 seconds at first time only, but On all subsequent calls it is fast,
*but when i am tryid that same programe with an c++ empty project it is very fast in 2 second we get a result back,
*So the Problem With Indesign Socket initialization using https at first time because i have tryid same Curl On Simple c++ program and it is fast at all calls

Thanks,

I was tempted to move this over to the InDesign SDK forum where there are coders, but there isn't a lot of traffic over there, so I'm going to leave this open here with the advice that you probably won't get an answer from anyone here becasue we are, for the most part, not folks who work with code beyond scripting (and very few scripters hang out here, either).
You should cross-post over there yourself and hope someone who understnds the qusetion sees it in one place or the other.

HandShake BUG with HDMI

Hi I have a problem when i connect my MacBookPro 13 - 2011 to my HDTV Philips PFL8404 through HDMI. Adaptor and the cable work correctly on other HDTV (samsung, Innohit)
The issue is that after a few minutes i have a green screen, and than it seems that the colors inverts and its so stressing to disconnect the cable everytime to make it works again.
I've heard the apple TV users had the same problem.
What's wrong?
What should I do?
Thanks a lot

Exactly the same problem with a Sony Bravia TV
After a few minutes, colors become "strange" and i have to unplug and plug to make it works for a few minutes and then... My Adaptor is a moshi bought on apple website...

Problem with DVI native - cable?

I have a Intel Mini and am trying to get it to display on my Philips 20" HDTV. The TV has DVI native input (not HDMI). Here's the situation:
- Output Mini to S-Video or Composite Video into the S-Video or Composite on the TV works as expected, but the image quality is pretty poor. I understand this is a known limitation - fuzzy text seems to be common.
- the DVI input socket on the Philips serves double duty for either DVI or analog input. For analog, I can use a DVI-VGA adapter (either the Apple one or a Belkin I have), and hook it up to my IBM laptop via a std. VGA cable and it displays under the "PC" input channel on the TV as expected. If I try to use VGA output from the Mini (this means using the Apple DVI/VGA adapter supplied with the Mini, connected to a VGA cable, and then another VGA/DVI adapter to plug into the TV's DVI port) - I do not get an image. Keep in mind the TV doesn't have a separate VGA port - it specifically uses and accepts VGA/analog input via the DVI port.
- When I try to use a DVI-D cable from the Mac to the TV, tuning the TV to the "DVI" channel, I get no image.
When I say I don't get an image, I'm not talking about a sync problem. I do not even get a flicker at startup before the video driver loads, and I cannot display anything when booting into single-user mode. This is true with either the VGA method from the Mac described above, or the DVI method.
The DVI cable I am using has 19 pins - 9 + 9 + flat blade. The Apple and Belkin DVI to VGA adapters have 23 pins - 9 + 9 + 4 around the flat blade, and the flat blade itself.
Am I not getting any signal because I do not have those 4 pins around the flat blade? The only other DVI cables I have seen have 25 pins - 24 small pins and the flat blade, but do not have the 4 around the flat blade.
Does anyone have a reference on the pinouts of DVI std? It seems strange to me that I don't even get a flicker at startup (and I've tried both "PC" and "DVI" channels on the TV). This behavior indicates to me that I do not have a problem with sync or timing specs (yet anyway) - as it appears the TV doesn't even receive any type of signal from the Mini.

Technically speaking, a display should not have a DVI-I input. DVI-I was invisioned by its creators to be an output only, so it should only be on a host and not on a monitor or TV. That said, there are some manufacturers that couldn't resist using DVI-I on their displays.
Since both the MBP and the mini have DVI-I outputs, when you hook them to a display with a DVI-I input using a DVI-I cable, there is definitely the possibility for conflict. It looks as though your MBP gives priority to the analog connection and hence reports a VGA monitor whereas your mini appears to prioritize the digital output and is reading a seperate EDID table and reporting the display differently.
I recommend you either try using a DVI-A-to-DVI-A cable or a DVI-D-to-DVI-D cable. This will eliminate any possibility for contention. And based on the results you have had so far, you might want to start with the DVI-A-to-DVI-A cable.

Problem with Threads and a static variable

I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
Code functionality:
A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
The problem as far I understand is:
Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
Thanks,
B.D.
Code:
private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
private static Thread objMainProcess;
   protected static void Init(){
        objMainProcess = new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                   GetState();
        objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
        objMainProcess.start();
    public static void initStatusTimer(){
        if(objTimer == null)
             objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                          SetState();
    private static void SetState(){
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            bChanged = true;
            try{
                objMainProcess.notify();
            }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
    private static boolean GetState() {
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            if( bChanged) {
                SendMessage();
                bChanged = false;
                return true;
            try {
                objMainProcess.wait();
            }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
            return false;
    }

Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
Thanks,
B.D.
