Hooking a Console up to a Display

Just a quick question, is there anyway to have my apple 20inch cinema display double as a screen from which I can connect my Xbox 360? If so, what specific cables would I need?

Game consoles can not be directly connected to your display, but Elgato Eye TV Hybrid will allow you to connect your console to your computer. Take a look.

Hooking up 2 computers to one display

I have a G-5- with OS 10.4.8 and a new MacPro with Leopard, and one 23 inch display. Is there any way to hook both computers up to one display and switch back and forth quickly?

Check also to see if you monitor has more than one input. My LaCie 321 has two DVI ports and one VGA port. I can use either both of the DVI ports, or the VGA port and one DVI port. No matter which way I do it, I can attach two Macs to the monitor at the same time (which I am doing right now). Switching between them is just a matter of pressing a button on the front of the monitor. Then all you need to buy is one extra monitor cable.

Console Slowness and Not Displaying Content When Maximized

System Center Service Manager 2012 R2
When working in a maximized SCSM 2012 R2 console the content for an incident or service offering or other forms in the product don't display their content correctly. Also, when interacting and typing within the forms it becomes very slow. I've seen
this behavior across multiple SCSM 2012 and later implementations. The only fix seems to be minimizing the console and working through a minimized window.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue and has anyone submitted the bug to Microsoft so it gets resolved?

This is a known issue and Microsoft is aware of it. It's the implementation of the console that has a problem with a maximized window. Nobody has stated they are working to correct it, so I assume it would require a massive overhaul of the console.
I am hoping for a web-based console, I think that will solve a lot of the current problems we have with SCSM. There are 3rd parties that make some good ones if you have money to spend.
The scsm team has confirmed they are working on this and other fixes to be released in next update rollup which should arrive sometime in or around April.

Powerbook G4 Hook Up To An Apple Cinema Display

If anyone can help me, thank you very much.
I simply want to hook up my Powerook G4 to an Apple Monitor/Display Cinema.
What cord do I need for the newer models, and are all display monitors compatible
with a G4 from 2004? Any recommendations? What should I stay away from?
Thanks again,
Peter

Does your cinema display have DVI in?
Depending on what model screen you have, I'm guessing you could use a HDMI to DVI converter cable.

Sun Java Console & Applets don't display properly on JRE 1.5.0_05

Duplicate Post as it was equally relavant to this forum: [http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=666689&tstart=0 ]
Hi,
We have a signed applet based application hosted on weblogic server. We are trying to launch the application on IE 6.0, JRE 1.5.0_05.
When we try to see the Sun Java Console from IE's Tools Menu bar, we don't see any text in the window and also the side bars & buttons ("clear", 'copy", "close") are not rendered properly. Now if we, try to bring the focus to text area of Sun Java Console, and try to select all (Ctrl+A), we only see some text selected, but not what it is. Now if we copy the text onto the notepad, we can see the text.
Next, when we try to launch the signed applet based application, we get the security warning, where only we can see the dialogue box and not the text or buttons. By randomly clicking on this security dialogue, if we hit on yes, the Applet based application is launched. The UI is totally off color; either you see some widgets on application partially or totally blackened or in different colors. Application basically looks to be in chaos.
This behavior is not observed in any of the previous JRE versions, i.e. JRE 1.5.0_04 or any previous versions. Interesting part is after uninstalling JRE 1.5.0_05, if we install 1.5.0_04; problem persists, but not in JRE 1.4.
We have observed the same behavior on number of machines. Is it a known issue? What�s the reason & solution?
Thanks in Advance,
Vinayak

When we try to see the Sun Java Console from IE's
Tools Menu bar, we don't see any text in the window
and also the side bars & buttons ("clear", 'copy",
"close") are not rendered properly. I suspect you're running into graphics issues. Perhaps java5 is trying to optimize too much, and you have older or buggy Windows drivers.
Try:
* getting the latest graphics drivers for your hardware from your vendor and installing them.
If that doesn't work, try
* putting options like "-Dsun.java2d.noddraw" in the Java Control Panel as the default VM options for your Java.
That's actually a bit aggressive - you can start with, say, "-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false" or "-Dsun.java2d.ddoffscreen=false" (each of these is less drastic than noddraw).
Then make sure you quit all IEs, and restart one.

Sccm console on windows 8.1 - window display issue

I'm currently using a surface pro 2 with win 8.1 enterprise (sccm is 2012 r2). Overall the surface is a great piece of hardware. One problem that I'm having is that the sccm console doesn't properly display wizard windows properly. They
are cut off, horizontily starting at the entire cancel button and to the right. Some times it is a vertical issue, and I can't get to tall the options on a screen. Please see the SS for an example of both horizontal and vertical cut offs.
I had monkeyed with several setting on my profile, so I signed in with a different account that had no user profile on the machine....same issue.
It's frustrating that some things I need to do on a very regular basis I now have to rdp into the server in order to do. Has anyone else seen this and does anyone have any ideas for a solution?

Hi,
If I remember correctly that is a problem related to changing the Text Size to one of the below options.
Medium - 125%. This sets text and other items to 125% of normal size.
Larger - 150%. This sets text and other items to 150% of normal size. This option appears only if your monitor supports a resolution of at
least 1200 x 900 pixels.
If you change this does it work then?
Regards,
Jörgen

Hooking iMac to external display when LCD is broken

Per the Genious bar people at the Apple store, the LCD display on my iMac is broken. She told me I could hook it up to an external display and use it or I could get it fixed. I decided to hook it up to an external display, but from searching other forumns, it looks like it is only extending what is on my desktop and not mirroring it because all I see is the background of my desktop, no icons. Apparently, I need to go into System preferences and change something. How can I do this if nothing is showing on the iMac LCD display? Is there a shortcut key on the keybord or something?

CMD F1 was the keyboard shortcut....

Problem with resolution of external display

Hi,
I am trying to use external display with my Unibody Aluminium Macbook Pro (NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, 2.26Gh, snow leopard). Cable setting I use is quite complicated as it is: macbook: minidisplay port>hdmi> DVI D : display. Display is LG Flatron W2242T (4:3).
So I hooked everything up and macbook detected display without any problem. The problem arises when it comes to resolution. Maximum resolution I can set (and in fact the only except 800xsomething) is 1152x870 and not only it is to low, but also it does not respect 4:3 ratio so it looks quite bad. So bad, that i cant really work on a setup like that. When I try to change resolution to any other, Display goes black. I tried using some apps, but they dont really work.
What can be the problem here? Is it connection?
I would appreciate any help.

And once you've cut thru the clutter of cables and adapters, remember the max you will be able to push the Flatron is its "native resolution", that happens to be:
Screen Size
22"
Screen Type
TFT LCD
Wide Screen
Yes
Brightness
300cd/m²
Contrast Ratio
8000:1
Viewing Angle
(Horizontal/Vertial)
160/160
Response Time
5ms
Resolution
1680X1050
Supported Colours
16.7M Colours
(data taken from LG's product page)
If you happen to have a late model MBP with the widescreen option, the Mac and the display will be on a 1:1 ratio, both are the same. Else, if you have a regular MBP, the monitor has more resolution than the Mac (1440x900) and distortion will occur if you do video mirroring.

Closing MacBook lid w/ mini-DVI to second display turns off second display

I hooked up a MacBook to another display via the mini-DVI to DVI adapter but, when I close the lid of the MacBook, the other display goes off. The display settings are set to mirror and this doesn't happen with my MacBook Pro. With my MacBook Pro, I can close the lid and continue working with the monitor connected directly to the DVI port without issues. Anyone have any suggestions as, to use my MacBook this way, both displays remain lit which is kind of pointless. Thanks in advance,
Derren.

It is puts the Macbook to sleep when you close the lid.
All you need to do is press a key on the external keyboard or mouse and it will wake up the Macbook with the lid closed. If you are using bluetooth for your external devices, ensure that the "wake from sleep" option is enabled under Bluetooth setting in System Preferences.

Mini-Display Adapter Not Working?

Hello,
Has anyone had issues with the Apple mini-display to Dual-Link adapter? Any problems getting it connected to the DVI cable (very tight fit) or have a dead on arrival adapter?
I have a Mac Pro 6-core. I just received my 27-inch monitor and plugged it into the Mini-display port. I have two other monitors - Dell 21-inch monitors. One is hooked up to the DVI port on my Radeon HD 5870. The other was hooked up to the other mini-display port via the Apple Mini-display to Dual-Link DVI.
When I try to connect the DVI cable to the Dual-Link DVI side of the adapter, it is a very tight fit. To get the screws to take hold, I have to press very firmly. Once secured, I plugged it in and the monitor is not recognized. Previously (before the 27-inch monitor came in) I used this very same monitor and DVI cable and it worked fine in the Radeon DVI slot. Still I swapped cables, switched mini-display ports, and switched the two Dell monitors around. And none of the pins on the cables are bent or damaged. It appears it is the mini-display to DVI adapter.
I am in the military overseas, so to return it to Apple is a major event. So I want to be sure it is the adapter before i go to the trouble and expense of sending it back, having Apple send it to a family member, then have that family member send it to me (since Apple doesn't send items to FPO/APO addresses). Anyone else have any issues with the adapter?
Jim

Let me be clearer; I've got the MDP-DVI adapter connected to a cable that is DVI on one end and HDMI on the other. I've got both laptops so I can compare side by side. I plug in the MDP-DVI adapter to the old laptop and all works well; I plug it into the new laptop and while the laptop does see the TV, the display modes for it are all 1080p which is wrong I don't see any desktop image on the TV unlike when I plug it into the older laptop. This is very disappointing as I expect things to just work with Apple products.

Intel iMac won't recognize external display with Dynex mini-DVI adapter

I've got an original Intel iMac with a Mini-DVI connection on the back. I'm attempting to hook it up to an external display (a plasma screen, in fact). I picked up a Dynex Mini DVI to Video Adapter DX-AP100 for Apple. This connector has a mini-DVI connector on one end, and both a video-out and an S-video-out on the other.
When attempting to use the adapter, the iMac does not recognize that there is an external display connected. Here are the facts:
The external display: I've tried this with a Panasonic Plasma screen connected directly through S-video, as well as a Pioneer receiver (one that switches video) connected both through s-video and composite video. And yes, I've got the settings on the TV correct. I've also tried this with a Polaroid LCD TV connected via S-video and composite video.
I did notice that when I click "Detect Displays" while the Plasma was connected, the plasma briefly "flashed", implying SOMETHING was happening, but still no dice.
Anyone have any experience with this Dynex DX-AP100 that could share some wisdom?

Yeah, I realize S-video is limiting, but I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible. The TV is mounted to the wall and there are not currently any DVI or HDMI cables coming out of it. There's an S-video input from my receiver that I'd prefer to use since it's readily accessible already. In the end my goal is to use Netflix "Watch Now" on the TV, so I'm not too worried about video quality.
and before someone asks if I considered that the receiver's S-video input might be the problem...I tried taking the s-video wire from the stereo and plugging it directly into the adapter. No dice.
ONE ADDITIONAL PIECE of information...while trying to get this to work on an LCD monitor, I plugged the composite video connection from the TV into the adapter. Suddenly the Mac recognized an additional monitor, but it saw it as a VGA monitor, not as s-video or composite video, and no signal went to the TV.
I'm considering trading in this adapter for a mini-DVI to VGA adapter, but that really won't help me with the connection to the TV.

Mini Display Port to VGA adapter with Mac Pro

Just as a word of advice if you're thinking of buying a new Mac Pro and planning on hooking it up to dual VGA displays at their native resolutions - don't.
Apple claim it will support 3 VGA displays. That might be true in a very loose sense but not in the sense that you'll actually be able to work with it.
My experience (all using same adapter, cables and monitors):
*Mac Pro - Dual screen set up*
1 x LG Flatron W2242S connected via DVI > VGA adapter - offers native resolution (1680x1050)
1 x LG Flatron W2242S connected via Mini Display > VGA adapter - does not offer native resolution
*Mac Pro - Dual* screen set up*
1 x Iiyama E2472HD connected via DVI - offers native resolution (1920x1080)
1 x Iiyama E2472HD connected via Mini Display > VGA adapter - offers native resolution (1920x1080) but displays it pillar boxed (i.e. squashed)
*MacBook Pro - Dual screen set up*
1 x laptop screen - fine (obviously)
1 x LG Flatron W2242S connected via Mini Display > VGA adapter - offers native res (1680x1050)
The conclusions being that despite having the exact same configuration in terms of adapters and monitors my £3k Mac Pro is incapable of doing what my MacBook Pro can.
I have spoken to Apple about this and they have admitted it is a limitation and suggested buying DVI monitors along with the Dual Link DVI adapter (£70).
Not ideal.

DVI-I provides the direct Analog signals needed to get VGA using a very simple adapter.
DsiplayPort (and its Mini variant) requires a converter to produce VGA or Dual-Link DVI, and the converter must be active/powered. There is a lot of logic in those converters. It may also have additional limitations.
In general, you should hook your highest resolution, most demanding display up with the DVI to VGA adapter.If running two Mini DisplayPort displays, ALL MiniDisplayPort converters must be active/powered.

Why do I keep getting console errors on my macbook pro?

My MacBook Pro constantly throws the following line to console:
_NXGetScreenRect: error getting display bounds (1001)
Does anybody know what can be the problem? Is it a known problem?
Any help will be greatly appreciated

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the MacBook Pro forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

Native resolution does not fill entire external display

I've got one of the original MacBook Pros with the Mobility Radeon X1600 hooked up to a Samsung P2350G display (it's a 23" LCD panel.) The native resolution on the display is 1920x1080.
The display has inputs for both VGA and DVI. The DVI port however is used by a desktop PC already, so I use a DVI to VGA adapter on the MacBook Pro, and use the laptop panel as a secondary display.
The problem is that when I set the external display to its native resolution, I get vertical letterboxing and some flickering along the edges of the image. It does not horizontally fill the whole display as it should. I have tried the same adapter on the PC and it worked fine (though with rather spotty image quality.)
Resolutions that are lower than 1920x1080 work fine and fill the whole display properly. I'm not exactly sure what the issue is. The laptop is only semipermanently attached to the large display so I can live with a reduced image quality there, but the flickering, slightly distorted image is just not acceptable right now.

Sounds like it might be a sync issue. Have you tried powering the monitor off and then back on with the MBP connected to it? How about just temporarily disconnecting the DVI cable from the desktop PC and using that to plug into the MBP.
