Hey Admin(Karl) Still have brightness control problem w/dual ACDs on G5
Can someone on the administrator or tech 3 or 4 guru level from Apple Please tell me what I need to do to access the brightness controls of my two previous generation "clear with/ white frame" apple 23" cinema displays ? I posted here two weeks ago - had no responses.
Went to AppleCare via phone for an hour - Indian person trying to help said it is available in the monitors prefs tabs/and monitor pull down menu on the menu bar next to the time ( nothing but resolution/arrangement/color profile there ).
I have since re-installed 10.4 from the original disks AND upgraded to 10.4.3 - Hoping that something would change. Nothing did.
Nothing shows up on screen when pushing the brightness buttonon either monitor, OR when I go to the monitors control panel - no brightness slider or tab on top.
It is driving me crazy to have to review my work ( digital photography ) on my old G4 system to be able to judge the proper density of the images.
I can profile the pair with a Spyder2 calibrater, and load the profiles fine, but again brightness is the issue, not the color. One of the displays is about 30% brighter than the other, and there in lies my problem.
Since the same difference in the screens is the same across various applications ( Final Cut Pro / Adobe PS / DVD player ), can I assume that this is a system issue software issue ?
Am I the only one having this problem ? Or is there just a glitch that no one has managed to tackle and fix even this far into Tiger ?
Please someone reply and save my sanity !

Hi Mel,
Sorry to hear that you are having problems.
I feel I have to point out that most of the 3 or 4 level Gurus don't actually work for Mac. We tend to obtain our knowledge from our own experiences plus sharing other peoples' experiences in this forum.
The reason I haven't responded to your issue myself is because I have no first hand experience of your problem, and I haven't been able to find anybody else who has had this problem and has been able to fix it. I'm always reluctant to respond unless I feel I have some information that will really help (or, at least, not possibly make things worse).
Anecdotally, this issue appears to have surfaced with the release of Tiger, so it may well be a software issue.
I don't know how old your G5 is - will it function with Panther? If that is the case, then installing Panther on another drive or partition (i.e. keep Tiger for now), and then booting up with Panther may give you an interim solution while the issue (hopefully) gets resolved in Tiger.
The fact that the brightness options are not available probably means that the drivers bundled with the Tiger installation for the graphics card that is in your G5 do not support the displays you are using properly. I believe that the stock video card you are using is an ATI card (you might want to check this via system profiler). At this stage, it would certainly be worth your while to contact ATI support and see whether they have drivers available that will assist you. This link may help get you started:
http://www.ati.com/products/mac.html
I acknowledge that I haven't really given you a solution, and I apologize for that. Hopefully, what I have given you will give your quest some direction.
Please let us know how you fared. All the best.
Cheers!
Karl

I have a PC. I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes. My computer recognizes my ipad but itunes does not. I have uninstalled itunes, shut down the computer and restarted plus reinstalled itunes. I visited the Apple store there is no problem with the iPad or the cord. I still have the same problem and am unable to sync when I plug in the iPad via the USB cord. Does anyone have further suggestions?
Try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTUnes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if it'll work
If the computer sees your iPad you know the cable and connection is good, so the issue has to be software. -
i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
(Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage. in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to.
now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm. now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller! it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch. so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right. i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4Hi Josh,
Thanks for taking the time to contact us here a Novation for technical support. Lets continue to correspond via email so we can get your issue resolved.
Thanks.

Unless your bank's website is insecure, you're fine. Go up to the Safari "Search" bar and type in Rapport. You'll be amazed. It may "work" on PCs, but definitely not Macs. And it's not needed for Macs. -
my phone has been losing calls and according to the apple store i need to reset it due to a software fault - i have done this and still have the same problems. how do i reset the phone without reinstalling the soft ware fault by way of icloud backup
Well, it appears that your backup is corrupt, thus causing your issue. So, you'll have to restore as a new device, & not from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone:

I am using a PC with window 7 and adobe photoshop 12. I have followed Photoshop Elements Help and I still have the same problem. When I try to backup Photoshop 12 it has stop on7% when calculating Total Media size. What can I do?
Hi Prabhuram and falez,
This issue appears where there are any inconsistencies in your catalog (generally for video files). This issue may be due to offline files, missing files, video scenes. The recommendation here would be to fix these inconsistencies and try again. If that doesn't solve the issue, please follow steps mentioned in email by me.

I upgraded to 2 - i4 phones with 2 different phone numbers. I can sign on to iCloud on 1 phone but never on the other. I have changed my my password twice but no matter what I do, I still have the same problem. I keep getting a message "Verification Failed The request timed out" no matter how many times I try to sign on it always times out. Before I upgraded to the i4, I had a i3GS and had the same exact problem. Does anyone have any ideas???
Firstly, go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with the ID you use for iCloud. A new password will be sent to your associated email address.
If that doesn't work, for example because it's going to an address you can't access, then you will have to contact Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'. -

My I phone 4 have volume control problem did anybody know how to fix
My I phone 4 have volume control problem did anybody know how to fix thankyou
Try force closing the Photos and Maps apps, then resetting your phone: double-tap the home button, locate Photos in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it. Now locate Maps and tap to close it as well, finish by tapping the home button. Now reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until your see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), then release. See if that clears things up.

When using Firefox I cannot signin to sites, but can get to sites with tabs on toolbar but cannot signout whe signin, I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it but still have the same problem.That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

My version of Lightroom 6 is still showing trial version after Serial Number has been Installed.
I have tried re-installation but still have the same problem.
Could you please forward a solution to this problem.Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. (is this what you meant by charger?)
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Brightness control problem after returning from Stand By - T500
Hi,
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T500 under Windows XP SP2.
In Power Manager, I have created a custom power management scheme and set the brightness to 80%. This works fine when I boot up the machine, but when I return from Stand By mode (sleep) the machine automatically sets the brightness to 100%. I will then have to use to brightness control buttons to set it back to 80%. This is very annoying and obviously a bug.
I have the latest BIOS and Power Manager version installed.
Can someone offer a solution please?I found your post after searching as I hae the exact problem you describe - I turn off the screen using Fn F3 and later when I wake the display the brightness jumps to 100% and I cannot get it to turn down to any level. It's stuck at 100%. Yup, just tried closing-n-opening the lid the screen goes to my previously set brightness level.
my drivers are current as at 2010-03-26 (today)
