HP Mini Ability To View Win 8 Metro Under Its MAX Screen Resolution When Released :(

This is just a question and I know it has got to be posted many, many time somewhere. I absolutely love the Mini and when I had some issues after my purchase a few months ago, the fantastic support agent even said when the actual Win 8 is released, it will be so cool on it. Well, one major problem I never caught. While the Mini Desktop portion of Win 8 Consumer preview works great, the HP Mini ability to view Win 8 Metro under Its MAX screen resolution is not possible. Now I know HP does not support the consumer preview as of yet but am I just out of luck by the release date? Will there be some kind of patch or ability for current Mini buyers to use Win 8 Metro when released? I asked this question in a Win 8 forum and the response I got was just that Notebooks are not designed for these kinds of features and are simple in nature. I agree but that is backward having a small device that will not be able to use Windows 8 except on its Desktop and furthermore, something tells me that Minis after 2013 will? Help....

Anyway, I know there is nothing that can be done about it-its just frustrating knowing that in about 7 months, the upgrade will not mean much to these minis and pretty much a new unit within 12 months of an OS release. I doubt MS will lower the resolution rate but the 600 is right at that line for many programs as well. I never would have thought-I am just stuck and was hoping the 210 would be compatible to an OS that is supposed to be friendly with the smaller devices-now this is ironic.

Screen resolution gone poor in Mac Mini

I cannot get optimum resolution on my Mac Mini. Just a day before I disconnected all the cords, including power and HDMI, just to move my Mac Mini (OS X 10.9.4) to a different room, and connected it back as it was. (Really speaking only two cords) and now I can't seem to get my screen resolution back.
The earlier screen resolution was there since I connected my Mac Mini for the first time to the LCD TV screen and I never had to deal with any resolution settings, but I am clueless now why I can't SET and SAVE optimum screen resolution settings. Here is screen capture for my System Preferences -> Display settings
I also have DISPLAYMENU app which gets me to a better screen resolution now, but it seems I do not have any option to save that configuration so every time I restart my Mac Mini, the display will go back to its weird screen resolution state and I have to start from all over again to get it back in a good viewable screen resolution with the help of DISPLAYMENU. I have contacted Apple Support and have done resetting SMC and PRAM and entering in to SAFE-BOOT as well; nothing seems to help here. Any other suggestions? (I cannot accept that it is LCD TV problem because 1. Earlier it was working absolutely FINE. 2. I have my xbox connected to same LCD TV and I am getting screen resolution what I was getting earlier.)

This is what I found on manufacturer's website for the TV model I have. I do not remember exactly what was the resolution earlier but it was definitely not 720 (in earlier image). All I know is I can observe the difference in the screen resolution.
Also I have tried all sort of setting and resettings; (I was on chat with Apple support over an about 45 mins and on phone call around the same time.)
Also, I cannot accept that I might be using wrong connectors/adapters/TV not compatible to the resolution I am trying to get to; because it was working absolutely fine just few days before and as mentioned I have connected my xbox to the same TV, which works absolutely fine.

Mini 210 Upgrade to Win 8-IT WILL NOT

I have asked this question in many forums including MS and even an HP employee responded and disappeared when I confirmed the question and problem. Does anybody know if indeed any current purchase of an HP Mini 210 will not be able to utilize the metro interface in WIn 8 when released if the screen resolution maintain at X600 since the consumer preview currently requires 700+? I truly would have never purchased a notebook that would be so close to an OS upgrade and not able to take advantage of the features that are pretty much supposed to be designed for that line of product.
Thanks for any info that can be provided-

Unfortunately, that didn't work. I uninstalled all versions of Firefox, and deleted the Mozilla / Firefox program folders. Then I tried to install the newest Firefox version with no success. Here's what happens: 1. The install completes succesfully. 2. When I go to start firefox, I get an hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing.
When I start firefox with the Task Manager running, I can see Firefox.exe running for a few seconds between 39-50% CPU. But, then that stops after a few seconds.
Something else that is interesting: I can force firefox 8 to run when I click on a hyperlink from MS Excel. I just can't run it from the start menu, desktop, or taskbar. After I start Firefox with the hyperlink, I am successfully able to start a new session (not tab) from the taskbar.

10.1 Update - Lost ability to view music videos on Mac

Since upgrading to 10.1 I have lost the ability to view videos i iTunes on my Mac - the Now Playing window just shows a static image. If I change the preferences to view the videos in another window or full screen, iTunes still just shows a static mage in the Now Playing window.
I know the videos are still there - I can download new ones to itunes, sync and then play them in my iPhone and iPad - and the video icon still appears next to those songs in iTunes, but will not play in iTunes.
My podcasts and movies are still playing fine in ITunes - it's just the music videos that appear in my Music Library which no longer work.

even though I think my Senior Analyst is trying his best I did a work around that works well... I bought a little program that converts them to .mov files which play just fine in iTunes... Still converting though.. As I said I have have a bunch. The poster above is incorrect in saying or hinting that the ones that dont play must of come from a source such as limewire etc... all of mine came straight from iTunes and I have tried 3 different configurations with Apple to get them to work. I am not complaining as I could never imagine anyone calling from Dell as this guy has from Texas on some days at least 3-4 times.. I figure I will get other uses besides just this with this program but for now it solves this issue until a fix is made... here is a link

Ability to view multiple files in ONE window

I can see here that this is not a new topic really but the thing with Acrobat 9 is so frustrating that it is just unbelievable.
This is another pearl:
Acrobat 9 "lost" its predecessors ability to view multiple files in ONE window. After opening four only documents I cannot see anything on the screen because the toolbars on each individual window cover all necessary view and nothing is left for the actual document. And sometimes I need to open 20 documents!
This is ABSOLUTE DISASTER!!!
I found some explanations from Adobe on the Web that are more than a year old.
I was sure that by now this unfortunate mishandling of that feature (apparently it was dropped out from A9 deliberately - WHO'S IDEA WAS THAT?) would be somehow restorable.
Would anyone happen to know if this feature can get restored to how it was working in A7 or 8 (without the need to uninstall A9 and install A8)?

No, it can't be restored, unless Adobe decides to change the way Acrobat works (which is possible, but not likely).
By the way, it was Microsoft's idea... Adobe were just following their example on this.

Lost ability to view the status of PDF conversion

Greetings,
I've been using CS5 for about a week after upgrading from CS4 on Windows 7. Everything was running fine until yesterday afternoon, when I suddenly lost the ability to view the status of the conversion of InDesign files to PDFs.
Normally, when converting an InDesign file to a PDF using one of InDesign's PDF presets (Smallest File Size, High Quality Print, etc.) you see a status bar showing the status of the conversion within InDesign. Now when I convert an InDesign file to PDF, the PDF instantly appears in the save location without any status bars showing up in InDesign. The PDF is unopenable and the InDesign file is uncloseable until the conversion completes. In the end, there is no issue converting my files to PDF; however, it's a little annoying to convert a file and have to take a guess at when I can open it (some of my files can take quite some time to convert).
At first, I thought it was a problem with my PC or installation. My supervisor has another license installed on his laptop, so we gave it a try on his. Same problem. I just think it's odd that the issue would appear out of nowhere on both installations.
Any ideas of what might be going on?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

The Background Tasks pane does show what's going on (to a certain extent), but what I'm taking about should be showing by default. I jumped on our old Macbook and created a test file and converted it to PDF in our Mac version of CS4. See the status bar that shows in the image below. This is what I'm taking about. It's a window titled "Generating PDF." It's been in every version of InDesign I've had since the first CS.
Shouldn't this be displaying?

Hi warlotte,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
If you have an Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, it can be used with the Thunderbolt port on your Mac to connect an external display.
For more information, see this Frequently Asked Questions document:
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ) - Apple Support
Some Apple computer have a Thunderbolt port instead of a Mini DisplayPort. Computers with a Thunderbolt port will have the following symbol next a port although the port physically appears the same as a Mini DisplayPort:
Thunderbolt ports:
Are compatible with all of the Mini DisplayPort adapters referenced below in question 5 and with Apple Mini DisplayPort equipped displays.
Note that "question 5" mentioned refers to section 5 of the above FAQ, which has a list of Mini DisplayPort adapters that are available from Apple.

You don't need to care about graphic driver on Mac OSX. It includes in OSX and run the driver your MacBook need.

Ability to View All Playlist Followers

Please note: This idea only applies to Spotify client version 0.8.8+
I will admit this is partly my idea, but it has also been pointed out many times on the "Horrible Update" summarized nicely by Premify here.
I would really like the ability to view all of my playlist followers and I am sure I am not the only one. What I am suggesting is a simple system, where you could press on the "# Followers" section of the playlist Window:
I would suggest it would either give you a drop down of all the followers or even better (in my opinion), a redirect to another page with all the followers on it similar to the Following/Followers tab in the Follow page of the client.
Please add your kudos and any comments here!
Peter

Amusing / annoying. I really came to rely upon being able to browse through similar tasting playlists. It was by far the most useful functionality I've found on spotify for exploring new musical avenues. Following users of users is almost useless - most of the best playlists I've come across are published by people with varying tastes and varying playlists, I could be traipsing through a majority of people who loved USERX's Anish Kapur list, when all I wanted was the 3/250 people who enjoyed the Kelly Clarkson list as much as I did. Following artists is just as bad - sure, I might find a user who follows that artist who also publishes a playlist which also has 10 OTHER matching artists out of my top 50, and from that they MIGHT have a playlist which heads in the same direction as the vibe I follow the artist for in the first place ..... but that is FAR FAR FAR more likely to happen if I'm exploring the tastes of people who subscribe to ALL of my top 50 artists, via the playlist they're following which has all of the top 50 artists on it. Before this functionality was removed, I was absolutely raving about following playlists, to all of my friends. I threw a party and used a playlist I found by following a follower of another playlist I had found online. Then this morning I get back to work and bingo, I can't do it anymore. This is a great new feature which should be added asap pronto zippy.

Ability to View All Notes

Is there a way to view all notes related to various objects within one area? If so, how can this be accomplished?
I would like the ability to view all notes (accounts and opportunities) in one area, which are related to a specific Account instead of having to drill down to the opportunity note region. In addition, I'd like to set this up to be accessible to most users.
I would appreciate any assistance on how to set this up.
This happens to be a critical requirement for my client.
Thanks in advance.
Regina

How do you go about creating a new view? Is it a drag and drop procedure? If not, will you please elaborate?

Video flicker on Compaq Mini 311c - 1020EO in Win 8 (32bit)

Hello,
Upgraded my Compaq Mini 311c - 1020EO to Win 8 32bit and all seems to work except VIDEO Flicker intermitantly.
Tried to load Nvidia driver ( 320.00 and 314.22 ) but when I run the installation the drivers cannot id the hardware as being compatible ??
Please help with some ideas !!

Hello PALaz,
I am surprised you don't have more issues with Windows 8 working correctly on your machine, since it is an older machine. Have you tried to install the driver in compatibility mode?
Visit HP Support and get the Windows 7 drivers for the hardware you'd like to try.
Download the driver to your desktop (your driver is here)
Allow the extraction to complete but close the installation process when it comes up.
Navigate to the C:\swsetup\ folder. You will see your driver listed here. They usually have a name like "sp56737". Navigate to this folder.
Within your driver's folder you will see a "setup.exe" file. Right click this file and select Properties.
Navigate to the "Compatibility" tab.
Click the box that says "Run this program in Compatibility mode for..." and also select Windows 7 from the drop down menu.
Check the box which says "Run this program as administrator" at the bottom
Save these changes and double-click the "setup.exe" to begin the install.
Once the install completes reboot your PC and verify the functionality of the piece of hardware.
Please let me know if this helps.
Good luck!

Adobe has a knowledgebase article on this.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html
Acrobat family
Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are not compatible with the Safari 5.1 browser, which will ship with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6 in July 2011. Adobe Reader and Acrobat will continue to work as standalone applications on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.6, and will render PDF documents outside of the browser. In addition, Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and Acrobat plug-ins will not function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1.
Recommendation to Customers/Users:
For Acrobat customers who utilize functionality like forms, digital signatures, portfolios, guides, 3D, extended PDFs and rights management, and who require the Acrobat plug-in to render PDF documents in the Safari browser, Adobe recommends that you continue to use Safari 5.0.x and Mac OS X 10.6. We will provide updates as we continue to investigate this issue.

Mac Mini video card drivers Win 7 64 bit sp1

I was running OSX 10.6.4 and dual booting with Vista 64 bit when Vista crashed. I went out and purchased Win 7 64 bit SP1 OEM version. I used bootcamp to install this sucesfully but whatever I seem to try I cannot find/install the correct driver for the graphics card in Win 7. It still defaults to Standard VGA Graphics Adapter 1280 x 1024.
I moved from the U.S to Thailand but forgot to bring my bootcamp disc (Otherwise I might not even be writing this post). I purchased a copy of Snow Lepoard 10.6.3 which has bootcamp 3.1 on it but still not the correct video card drivers. I have also upgraded bootcamp to 3.2 and 3.3 and tried all the Win 7 updaates but to no avail. I have tried to install manually from bootcamp on the DVD, I have read a few forums with the same issue but it tends to be a MacBook Pro and not a Mac Mini issue. I have also instaleld Nvidia 285.38 and 285.62 drivers and both of these give me a black screen, so I know these are not the correct drivers.
I purchased my Mac Mini in Nov of 2010 and its a model MC270LL/A. If I look in OSX I can see my video card is the
Nvidia Geforce 320 M
Vendor - NVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID 0x08a4
Revision ID 0x00a2
Rom Revision 3546.
I am not sure why this has to be so difficult but it is! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

There's a complicated driver issue.
I'm also a user of Mac mini(2010, server) with windows7 x64.
My experience is:
The only newest nvidia driver for daily using without trouble is 267.76.
If you want to use 27x~ 285.62/285.79,
your primary monitor must be connected to Mac mini with miniDisplayPort-VGA adapter,
I got the same black screen with applying HDMI port as primary.
If you upgrade to 290.36/295.51(the latest one),
you can prevent black screen with HDMI port,sounds good,right?
But as long as you update to any of the newest two drivers,
you will suffer BSOD(Blue Screen of Death, abnormally reboot, error code:0x116) during checking Windows index
or just watching HD movies, that anything may cause GPU malfunction.
Referece thread:http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=215256
I still searching the solution because the HDMI 1.4a 3D supporting of my projector was begun from 285.62.
I always got BSOD when I want to enjoy Blu-ray 3D films.
