HDMI TV won't allow supported resolutions

My Vizio TV's native resolution is 1680x1050 which is what it was when I first connected the HDMI cable, however it wouldn't hold a connection for more than a second, and It would just reattempt a connection over and over again like it was out of sync. I eventually half-fixed this with some luck and changing the resolution to 720p or 1080i. The details of that problem, if important are here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22022528#22022528
The only resolutions that I can use are 720p and 1080i. Any other resolution causes the syncing/disconnecting problem described above, and I have no idea why. The Vizio TV works fine in the native resolution on another mac with Snow Leopard, the early 2011 Macbook Pro with Lion works fine on other TVs and the adapter works with all these devices.
I can work with 1080i but I'd rather use 1680x1050, does anyone know why this could be happening? (Again, this only occurs between this TV and this computer)

If you go in to Apple TV settings you will see an update software option, if no update is required then simply reset it from the settings page.

HT3209 My Computer supports all of the requirements, plus I use Apple TV, iPhone4s, and the New iPad (dumb name by the way) and it still won't allow me to download HD Movies. What is wrong with this picture?

Why is that my PC supports all of the requirements for HD video but iTunes won't allow me to Download HD Movie. I am able to handle some of the most intense PC Games and I have HD movies Downloaded from previous versions of iTunes that work just fine. This is just stupid that iTunes thinks it knows my Computer's capibilities better than I do. Is there a way to change it?

Hi,
At the top of any Buddy List it will show Your Name or your Handle (Screen Name)
This can be changed if you click on what is shown currently and it will become a drop down.
Pic
The "Name" is taken from the Mac User Account that is logged in and the My Card in that Address Book.
So if this is your New Macbook Pro then Open the Address Book (Presumably there is only one Mac User account on this computer at the moment) and find the My Card (Head and Shoulders iCon)
Make sure the details are yours.
If the details are your brother's (Migrated info ?) then find your card and then go to the Card Menu and the option "Make this My Card".
When Adding and @mac.com name to iChat 6.x the server for the AIM login should read api.oscar.aol.com
The port likes to be port 443 with SSL ON (See Sever Settings tab in iChat > Preferences > Accounts)
Try it without SSL
NOTE: Despite the Add screen saying @Mac.com the account can get listed in the Accounts List as a MobileMe account.
I would check that the original computer or the current one is not set to allow only one Login.

Security set to allow high resolution printing but pdf won't print

We create a large number of pdf files to send out to
clients, etc. We have been using security on all pdf's being sent out, however, some clients are having issues printing these pdf files even though our security settings are set to allow high resolution printing. Any one have any ideas why? I cannot duplicate the issue for whatever reason, the files still print for me.

I discover I am suddenly having a similar problem as well.
I have recently migrated to a new Intel iMac/Leopard, I'm on a network and trying to print to a Tektronix/Xerox 7700 laser printer. I can print anything other kind of document on that printer as long as it is not a PDF.
When I open the printer window it says the job has been stopped. I choose the job and tell it to "resume" at which point the printer pauses itself. Once it flashed a window that said Operation Not Possible - client-error-something-something and then closed before I could see what the last two words were.
I am currently using Adobe Reader 6.0. I would love to be able to try to print out of 7.0 but there seem to be continual download problems in the form of constant connection failures. I also have Acrobat 6.0 STD - can't print out of either one.

I used iphotos to create a photobook. I want to send the book to my aunt in the states but it won't allow me to do that. I was just wondering why it won't allow me to put in her address so the book can go directly to her home.

How can I install a driver for HP Laserjet P3005. My mac won't allow installation?

My macbook won't allow em to install the driver for HP Laserjetp3005. Any ideas?

Apple suppies all the drivers for all the printers that work with any specific os x version. Just go to the Print & scan section of system preferences and Add Printer (Plus ( + ) Sign) and if it is supported the driver will be there.

Dreamweaver CS6: Installation disk won't allow a change in the location of the installation folder

First, I hope the moderators will cut me some slack for making a duplicate posting. The comments below were posted in the "Creative Suites" community. I just noticed that there is a "Dreamweaver" community. I feel the issues I've raised below are more relevant to the latter.
I recently purchased a Dreamweaver CS6 installation disk and have a valid registration code. The Adobe website has recognized this code as valid.
I started-out by having the installation disk install into a folder on a high capacity (0.5 tb) external drive. This was done while my Gateway PC was still working properly. I did a duplicate installation onto this hard drive (into a separate folder) to accommodate any work I wanted to do on a Dell laptop I also own. For a few days things seemed to work ok on both computers. Then the cursor on my Gateway stopped moving. Several changes of mice failed to resolve the problem. I've written-off my Gateway as "dead." However the Dreamweaver CS6 installation MAY (I can't remember) be on a "local" folder on my Gateway and I am concerned I will have trouble installing Dreamweaver on the replacement I've purchased. I understand one is limited to 2 installations. If needed, can I purchase a license for a third installation? And what might that cost?
After turning-off my Gateway I then went to my Dell laptop to try to work with Dreamweaver there. I felt it was best to install on a "local" folder so I deleted all the Dreamweaver software from the folders on my external drive. Unfortunately the installation disk is still "pointed" to the folders on my external drive. To make matters worse I am now getting an error message which indicates I need to install into a folder on the "local" drive of my Dell laptop. But the installation disk won't allow me to change the path. On the installation disk the "path" to my external drive is faded-out and it will not allow me to delete and type-in a new path.
I've spent what, to me, are big bucks on this Dreamweaver disk. It's the only website building software that seemed to get consistently good reviews. However, for me, Dreamweaver is becoming a nightmare! I'm very much of a novice at website building. I don't know how, in the world, I will be able to a) Create something, and then b) Get Dreamweaver to put it onto what is now a blank webpage. I recently got "Dreamweaver CS6 The Missing Manual" and "Dreamweaver CS6 For Dummies." So far I haven't been able to find anything, in either of these two books, which addresses the issues I've raised here.
Somebody--please help!!
Don't know if my screen name will show up. So my name is JACK, near Old Faithfull.

Have you tried calling Adobe Customer service? They can deactivate one of your installations so that you can install and run on a new system. And perhaps they can help with your other problem, or send you to a tech support rep who can.
With regard to your use of DW, I'd strongly suggest that you take advantage of this downtime by learning as much HTML and CSS as you can absorb. Multiple sittings would be helpful. The more you know about those two, the easier DW will be for you when you eventually get it going.

Hey, as far as I know you need a sim card to activate after a restore
It however does not have to be a fully working sim card, just not blocked or with a pass code, I repair/refurb. some iPhones and can only advise to try and get a free sim card from a provider supported on your phone and activate it with this, or maybe someone can lend you theirs for 5 mins?
To clarify, I have heard there are ways around this, but they sound dubious.

How can I move photos from pictures to my external hard drive? I have copied all photos, however it won't allow me to paste the photos. The paste button is grayed out.

Do you want to copy some pictures to the external drive, or do you want to move your whole iPhoto library? The latter will free up hard drive space on your start up disk; the procedure is explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506
Note this is not the same as a Time Machine backup.
If on the other hand you want to copy some photos from one drive to another, you can just drag and drop them from one location to another. This is a true copy, the originals will remain intact.

Trying to reset administrator password by using the Mac OS X Install disc to reset but it won't allow me to without original administrator password. Frustrating.

Trying to reset administrator name/password by using the Mac OS X Install disc to reset but it won't allow me to without original administrator name/password. Frustrating. Reason I'm trying to reset is that it seems to be not recognising the administrator name as have changed password in System Preferences - Accounts.
PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Here's the instructions if you have the discs.
*Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password*
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274?viewlocale=en_US
Changing your administrator password
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh655.html
Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
2. wait for terminal show
3. release keys
4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
5. press enter
6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
7. press enter
8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
9. press enter
This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
Without the discs, try this (OS 10.5 only). *How to Reset User Password via single user mode*
http://macosx.com/forums/howto-faqs/300019-howto-reset-user-password-via-single- user-mode.html
Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
   1. Reboot
   2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
   3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
          * mount -uw /
          * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
          * shutdown -h now
   4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

IMac won't allow me to login after few hours

Hi everyone...
My iMac won't allow me to login after few hours. Actually I had a limited broadband connection which is free from 2AM to 8AM. So I have scheduled some downloads to start at 2AM and end at 8AM. Before going to bed, I just put on the screen saver. When I wake early in the morning and move my mouse.. blank screen turns on and colorful spinning wheel appears, but log-in window doesn't appear. This has happened thrice till now. Day before yesterday it was fine. But yesterday and today I got the same problem. Previously also it was working fine. I can't figure out why it is behaving like this...
Initially, in Power save options, I scheduled iMac to wake up at 2AM and sleep at 8AM and then used to put iMac to sleep before going to bed. It was working fine and did the same thing for more than a month. Now I have removed wakeup & sleep scheduled options from Power save options.
Following are the settings/options selected:
1. In energy save options, I have selected the option not to put iMac to sleep when it is inactive for certain time.
2. Put hard-disks to sleep whenever possible is checked.
3. I have scheduled the downloads in Azureus, Transmission and Speed download 5.
Following are the temps and rpms:
Temps:
HD: iMac, Vista: 124 F
CPU A: 117
Airport Card: 151 F
Ambient: 83 F
GPU: 133 F
GPU Diode: 137 F
GPU Heatsink: 137 F
HD Bay1: 124 F
Mem Controller: 121 F
Optical Drive: 110 F
Power supply1: 162 F
Fans:
CPU Fan: 1198 rpm
Hard Drive: 1199rpm
Optical Drive: 998rpm
One more thing, recently I have reset the SMU because it is taking too long to boot up. To my surprise, after restarting, fan (not sure which one) started to make bigger sounds. I then had to reset SMU two times and only then fan started to spin normally without any noise. I'm scared & worried...
Someone please help me where I went wrong.... what can I do to solve this problem..
You know I purchased this iMac for Rs.86000/- INR ($2097 approx.) ... after two months they slashed the prices by Rs.20000/- INR($487 approx.)... so this is how my luck seems to be

Hello and sorry. First, if you reset the SMU. make sure you do not hold the power button down while reconnecting the cable or it will reset the SMC incorrectly.
When you say you are logging in, are you logging onto the internet, or onto the computer/user account?
If it is intermittent than it sounds like your internet and that would be best handled by your internet provider first.
The following article is good for troubleshooting issues and you may wish to bookmark it.

Do you have the install dvd's for the computer with you?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1782
(another article for running disk utility)
If it is your internet you are referring to than try going to the Apple in the top left corner and clicking on it.
Than click on the System Preferences
Then click on Network
Then click on Assist Me.
Then Assistant
Maybe call it Test Location
go through the steps involved and see the outcome.
Sorry for the delay and if this does not help at all. But I will check back if you return with more information I will do what I can to help you. Also may wanna check out applecare protection plan from apple and also the article below:

Playlist just scrolls through tunes at top of screen but won't allow me to play them

my playist just scrolls through each title in the list but won't allow me to stop it nor will it play anything from playlists. installed iOS6 and it worked fine until today (about a week). Also turned on iTunes match and it continued to work for about 3 weeks. Still works on my other iphone4, but not on my 4s. Power down and up didn't work to fix the 4s - phone still sees titles, but only scrolls through them on its own and won't play any tunes

Hi Diver,
I haven't ever seen this happen, but if quitting apps and hard resets don't do it you might want to start clean. Are you able to run a backup of your iPad mini? If I was in your shoes, I would back up the iPad, erase the iPad and then restore the data to see if that fixes it.
Step 1 would be to back up the data (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
Step 2 would be to restore the iPad to factory settings (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).
Step 3 would be to restore the backup (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
Hope this helps!!
