HDMI/DVI video noise when running with 9400M

I have a late 2008 MBP. I connect it to my Sony 52W3000 using Apple's mini DisplayPort to DVI adaptor and a DVI to HDMI cable. When I use the Nvidia 9400M (Better Battery Life in Energy Saver system preference) I get lots of video noise in the form of little red pixels. When I switch to the 9600M (Higher Performance in Energy Saver) the image is beautiful and without noise.
Is this problem inherent with the 9400M? Is it Apple's DisplayPort -> DVI dongle? I would rather conserve battery AND have a decent video image. I'd also like to get a Mac Mini to as an HTPC but don't want the terrible noise I get from the MBP when using the 9400M. I somehow doubt it's an Nvidia problem.

I have a UniBody MacBook (before they were re-branded as PRO), with a GeForce 9400M. I get nasty white noise when using the Mini-DisplayPort to DVI cable, connecting to a Samsung 2333HD monitor via DVI (no HDMI involved here). I put a video on YouTube to document the issue. Quality is not great, but you can clearly see the white pixel noise on a black background. Looks like the sky at night. I'm wondering if this is a case for my AppleCare Protection...

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device (iPhone) using debug build. When running with a release build, the result handler is never called (nor is the fault handler called). Viewing the BlazeDS logs in debug mode, the call is received and send back with data. I've narrowed it down to what seems to be a data size issue.
I have targeted one specific data call that returns in the String value a string length of 44kb, which fails in the release build (result or fault handler never called), but the result handler is called as expected in debug build. When I do not populate the String value (in server side Java code) on the object (just set it empty string), the result handler is then called, and the object is returned (release build).
The custom object being returned in the call is a very a simple object, with getters/setters for simple types boolean, int, String, and one org.23c.dom.Document type. This same object type is used on other other RemoteObject calls (different data) and works fine (release and debug builds). I originally was returning as a Document, but, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, changed the value to be returned to a String, just to rule out XML/Dom issues in serialization.
I don't understand 1) why the release build vs. debug build behavior is different for a RemoteObject call, 2) why the calls work in debug build when sending over a somewhat large (but, not unreasonable) amount of data in a String object, but not in release build.
I have't tried to find out exactly where the failure point in size is, but, not sure that's even relevant, since 44kb isn't an unreasonable size to expect.
By turning on the Debug mode in BlazeDS, I can see the object and it's attributes being serialized and everything looks good there. The calls are received and processed appropriately in BlazeDS for both debug and release build testing.
Anyone have an idea on other things to try to debug/resolve this?
Platform testing is BlazeDS 4, Flashbuilder 4.7, Websphere 8 server, iPhone (iOS 7.1.2). Tried using multiple Flex SDK's 4.12 to the latest 4.13, with no change in behavior.
Thanks!

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

Min Mx planning report gives an error when run with RE-Stock yes.

Hi All,
We are going to implement Min Max planning for the first time.However when we test it at org level with Re-Stock parameter YES it gave an error.
what are the additional setups need to be done for it?
It works fine when running with re stock no.and gives the out put of the report accurately.
Thanks.

DAQ Input Signal kept rising and stop at Max Voltage when run with nothing attached

I just installed PCI 6229 card and a BNC 2110 (Labview 8.6v). When I started the DAQ Input, the signal kept rising and stop at max Voltage (10V) when run with nothing attached (instead of fluctuating at around 0). Just wondering what's wrong with it and how to solve it. Terminal configuration was "Differential"
I just created an input DAQ with a scope and while loop to look at it. Please let me know if I do anything wrong
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I just re-read your original post. Why do you have the terminal setting to differential? This sounds like a single ended setup to me. Change the terminal setting to RSE. With a differential setting. you need to connect one source to AI1 and another source to AI9. The difference between the two will be reported. With RSE, only AI1 will matter and the voltage with respect to ground will be reported. Make sure you have your AO ground tied to your AI ground.

Weird noise when running Steam?

Hello there.
I woke up this morning and noticed my newfangled Macbook Air (2011 refresh) was making funky noises.
I restarted it several times and noticed it went away.. That is until I logged into every program I run usually. I've boiled it down to Steam, after verifying that it isn't the fan by installing a system monitor and checking the RPM - it doesn't go up from about 2000RPM where it's usually situated. I'd also like to note that the noise doesn't start up until I actually login with my username and it reaches the store frontpage.
Now the noise itself is this weird screeching, shrieking sound similiar to a whistling kettle.. Sort of sounds like a 56K modem only more faint and.. Digital. Could this be some kind of bloated capacitor that only activates when running CPU or graphic intensive applications? Maybe the SSD? I'm pretty stumped and would love to clarify this before I take it in.
Thanks.

Hi PropHat,
There's no moving parts in the SSD so there's nothing that could create friction or generate noise from said friction. So it's one of two things:
CPU/GPU whine
A defective PMU on the logic board that is "overjuicing" the CPU/GPU and causing the excess electrical current to be heard as the noise.
Whatever the case it's not normal or expected behavior. Also I should add that I'm assuming you've turned off the speakers to isolate them in this troubleshooting? Otherwise that'd be the first step, it could very well be them.

ORA-01816 when running with Oracle Instant Client

good morning
we are running the same SQL script on 2 computers.
- native system with DB
- via Oracle Instant client
when running via the instant client i get the following error.
( select to_char(to_date('1970-01-01') + "DATE" / 86400000, 'YYYY-MM-DD') "CD", logical_name
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
thanks for any hint

It probably works on one and not the other because you have set the NLS_DATE_FORMAT for one system to match the format of the string you are passing in, so Oracle knows how to do the implicit conversion.

FYI: New version of Disk Warrior seems to hang when run with Snow Leopard

FYI: It seems that the new version of Disk Warrior hangs when run in Snow Leopard

I have been using DW 4.2 on 10.5.8 and the speed-up was the first thing I noted, too, so it isn't just SL.
Now if it would only 'come up for air' and respond to input to move window (so I can put it where I can see it if needed) I'd like that.
There is a 23 page review of Snow Leopard on Ars. On page 22:
People sometimes ask what, exactly, is wrong with HFS+.
Aside from its obvious lack of the features just listed, HFS+ is limited in many ways by its dated design, which is based on HFS, *a twenty-five year-old file system.*
To give just one example, the centrally located Catalog File, which must be updated for each change to the file system's structure, is a frequent and inevitable source of contention. Modern file systems usually spread their metadata around, both for robustness (multiple copies are often kept in separate locations on the disk) and to allow for better concurrency.
Practically speaking, think about those times when you run Disk Utility on an HFS+ volume and it finds (and hopefully repairs) a bunch of errors. *That's bad, okay?* +*That's something that should not happen*+ with a modern, thoroughly checksummed, always-consistent-on-disk file system unless there are hardware problems (and a ZFS storage pool can actually deal with that as well). And yet it happens all the time with HFS+ disks in Mac OS X when various bits of metadata to get corrupted or become out of date.
Apple gets by year after year, tacking new features onto HFS+ with duct tape and a prayer, but at a certain point there simply has to be a successor—whether it's ZFS, a home-grown Apple file system, or something else entirely. My fingers are crossed for Mac OS X 10.7.
If Disk Utility was reliable in mapping out weak sectors (it is not) and report/log errors. But it doesn't and I trust my data to other file systems when possible. We've come to expect and depend on 3rd party utilities and that Apple First Aid doesn't fix every possible error.
Scanning one drive for errors can take a long time. Maybe it needs to be done, maybe in the background. With 2TB drives it gets worse. Spending hours to scan for errors??? I've set TechTool Pro to concurrently scan anywhere from one to a dozen volumes at once.
An ounce of prevention, as they say, is worth a pound of cure.

N8 - Rattling noise when listening with headphones

Just got my N8 but unfortunately noticed a slight but annoying rattling noise when listening to music via earphones. It's most noticeable at the start and the end of songs as well as in quieter passages.
Anyone else noticed this? If this is a known issue and fixable via firmware update I won't bother but I'm afraid it's hardware related. Already tried different headphones and reset the device but that didn't help.
Is there anything else I can do that might fix the problem? Thanks!

hi,i'm Hafiz from Malaysia.i'm having EXACTLY the same prob with my new N8's earphone.it's so frustrating that the controller of my earphone unit,is not working at all! The moment i connect the earphone to my lovely N8, the only projected sound appears is full with distortion,incomplete like voice cancellation function is on, and not entertaining at all. I ENABLE THE LOUDNESS AND STEREO WIDENING FUNCTIONS, then it sounds better but the quality is far behind than my previous N70, N73 and N95. To make it even worse, all buttons are NOt functiining at all - volume, fast/rewind, stop etc. I even take off and reconnect the earphone thousand times but it fails to function as what its supposed to be. I went to the outlet where i bought this remarkable hp,unfortunately it was hopeless. The retailer even reformatted my phone's C drive, it failed to overcome my earphone issue. The retailer tried to use and replace with a new earphone set,again it was a failure. Other than that,my N8 functions as what have been promoted. I tried with other earphones and the result was just the same, POOR SOUND QUALITY! Please settle this SIMPLE prob a.s.a.p as it really makes feel uncomfortable and sad of getting 'incomplete' set of N8.

Working fine when running with eclipse, when exported, it doesnt.

I have made a little mp3 player with the help of Jlayer 1.0 library. Now, it is running perfectly when I run it from eclipse. But when I export it to a .jar file, strange thing happens.
The program starts ok, then I click add song button, a popup pops and wants me to choose a file, well I click the choose
the file button, it opens a JfileChooser, choose file, everything ok so far. Now, I want to click ok so that the song would be added to the program, but nothing happens when I click ok. when running eclipse it would add the song to the Jtree and so on, now it does absolutely nothing, the box wont disappear, no error message, nothing. I wanted to check if it was somekind of bug in the button, but it would seem it does do some basic statements on the beginning, but when it would have to create
new datastructure, it never comes back. I tested this with printing text when the program completed a statement and got the statement which makes the program idle. And the program doesnt freeze, it just wont do anything, and it wont even finish the method it is supposed when ok is clicked.
Any suggestions? Im totally clueless.

Yes, you probably don't have the application correctly set up to run outside of Eclipse. How to do that is different for each IDE. I am aware of the following tutorial for NetBeans, and (probably) Eclipse has something like that. You need to ask at the Eclipse website for that, since these forums are for the Java language, not Eclipse support.

EA2/EA1 - Icons when running with console

Feels incredibly picky, but when running SQL Developer with the console <SQLDevHome>/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.exe (instead of <SQLDevHome>/sqldeveloper.exe), the Alt-Tab icon for the console has much better resolution than the icon for SQL Developer itself. When starting SQL Developer without the console, you only get the lower resolution icon.

Sue,
While there was a change in the Alt-tab icon between EA1 and EA2 - the icon still doesn't match the better resolution icon displayed for the console window. The application icon in EA2 looks like a fuzzier version of the EA1 application icon, rather than the better resolution icon used for the console window.

Shockwave shows no content when run with limited privileges

Hi,
We're deploying showckwave player in our company.
When installing shockwave player on windows 7 wirh IE9 shockwave shows only content when IE9 is run in Administrative Mode. If IE9 is run with limited privileges which is default shockwave shows no content (i.e. http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/).
Any solution for this?

the ipod touch and iphone where fully functional before the 2.0 update, but since than it seems like everything has gone to crap, it seems like apple can't make any good firmware anymore, iTunes 7.7.1 (which causes the app failures and the music being deleted, and iphone 2.0.2, didn't fix anything for me, man i can't wait to get the new ipod touch, maybe all these problems will be fixed by then

Very slow performance jclient when running with remote server

We have performance problems when running a JClient application, if the Application Server is on a different machine in the same 100mbit network. In our application we open 6 panels with about 15 TextFieldBindings each, on a tabbed pane. Each panel has it's own viewobject on the server. It takes the panel allmost two minutes to start up. Our own code seems to perform reasonable, but between the last line of code and the actual visibility of the panel there is a long period of low intensity network traffic between the client and the server machine, while both machines have low CPU usage. We tried setting the synchmode of the ApplicationModule to SYNC_LAZY and SYNC_IMMEDIATE, but this does not seem to make any difference.
It seems as if the server starts throwing a lot of events after our code is executed, which are caught by the BC4J controlbinding listeners. The performance is a lot better if we have the server and the client on the same machine, and the database on a different one.
This kind of performance is not acceptable for this application. Are we doing something that should not be done with BC4J, or are we missing something?

This kind of performance is not acceptable for this application. Are we doing something that should not be done with BC4J, or are we missing something? You must be hitting a performance issue regarding download of all property metadata for setting labels etc. on the UI (in case of remote-tier deployment).
This issue has been resolved for our next release of JDeveloper. Basically a new api has been added that allows 3tier apps to "download" the set of "used" VO definitions, Attribute Definitions etc on the client, so that the UI comes up quick.
Also a application/ui/binding load code-generation has been modified to allow for "lazy" loading of controls/lazy binding etc, quite like what's done in the JClient Control-bindings sample on otn.
For 9.0.2, you may shorten the "load" time, by loading only the UI that's first displayed and pre-loading ViewObject definition. However it'll still be slower than what the above mentioned method would do in one roundtrip.

Can't get videos/games to run with this

Ok, with the previous release, I ran into the issue where YouTube videos and online games weren't working after I updated, so I went through the pain of uninstalling and reverting back to an earlier, functioning version while this was hammered out. Another release came along, and that one installed fine. Now, with this latest one, I'm back to my old problem where things aren't working, and again I have to go through the frustration of uninstalling and reinstalling.
Is there something I'm doing wrong on my end that is making this screw up so often? I'm running Firefox on my netbook, on a 32-bit system. Anything more than that, you're going to have to talk me through what you need and where to find it, because I'm not the most savvy with this - I can follow directions, but yeah...not my area of expertise. ^_^;
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm now a little gunshy about updating when I see there's a new Flash release, because yeah... So please, help?
Thanks!

Actually, it isn't.
I'm amazed that it's 2012 and people still need and explanation of what beta means. A beta version should have most of the functionality of the release version, with only minor bugs present that will be highlighted by external users as they come across them, and subsequently fixed by the developer. If a beta version of Flash crashes every time it loads flash content, then it shouldn't be in the beta channel, rather at the alpha stage and unavailable to those outside the company developing it. If there's greatly reduced functionality to facilitate testing, then it certainly shouldn't be available to anyone other than the developers. “Videos from some websites cannot be played on FF or Chrome” (3203907). In this case, shouldn't that read, “Videos and flash animations on all websites cannot be played on FF or Chrome”!?!? And the known issue you mention is a legacy from the earlier 11.3 release. Not even the settings manager on the Adobe main Flash page works with the 11.4.400.231 beta, unless you manually check the 'Show All' option by right clicking the Flash applet. Wow, look! I've identified a bug in 11.4 beta 1! Isn't that how beta testing is supposed to work!? And lets face it, Flash 11.3 has been such a dog, people are virtually forced into installing new beta versions in the forlorn hope that the problems they are experiencing will be solved.
Next time you try lecturing someone about the software release lifecycle, make sure you fully understand it otherwise that person, who may well have a degree in software engineering and several years experience as a software developer, might wipe the floor with you!
If I had a nickel for every time flash has crashed on me and for every minute I've spent installing new versions and sorting out flash problems, I could buy Adobe and initiate a decent software quality assurance regime.

Speaker noise when open with Sibelius

Hi guys, wondering if you could shed any light on this problem
I am using a 2011 15" MBP with a Focusrite Saffire Pro audio interface (firewire) and I am using it to record into Logic Studio 9. The only problem is that when I have both Logic Studio and Sibelius running at the same time, my MBP's speakers start issuing a strange hissing/swirling noise.
Neither programs are doing anything, and the sound doesn't go away no matter what I do (other than close either of the programs).
Is anybody able to shed some light on what is causing this problem? Cheers

It's a poor implementation of power saving for the sound hardware. Even if you turn off playback of the feedback sound, the hardware still turns on every time you press the volume keys. The effect I was getting was that it would only turn on for a second, meaning it would click every time you hit the volume keys. This shouldn't happen when you are plugged into AC power, but I can't be sure that I haven't had it happen at least once when plugged into AC. Did you try opening sound preferences to see if it did it after you had adjusted the sound volume from there? This seems to fix mine for awhile so that it will not do this. I also don't seem to be having this issue nearly as often as I did before. I can't think of anything that I have changed, other than putting in more RAM memory which I wouldn't think would have any effect on this.
