I now get a external monitor error after a year

I have been using an external lcd monitor for about a year and this week I started getting an error after I plugged it in for a while. It would work for 1-4 hours and then the external monitor would say that the frequency was not supported. At this point my MB would freeze and when I tried to restart it, it would not turn back on. The AC cord was plugged in, so the only thing I could do was remove the battery for a couple of minutes and restart.
Each time I plugged the external monitor in it would work for a bit and then freeze again. I tried a different monitor and it froze as well and gave me the error box "optimal resolution is 900x1440 60mz. I tried again and made sure it was detecting the correct monitor in system preferences and that they matched the recommended specs, everything was correct.
ANY IDEAS?
I don't know what to try, like I said it worked for a whole year without any problems. And my 1 year warranty expired 9 days ago.
I would love some ideas, Thank you!

Hi frogjet,
Are you connecting over VGA or DVI? I take it you're using the same Apple adapter that you've had for a while? What was the other monitor that also didn't work? Was it also the same connection type?
It's probably worth bringing the computer and the monitor into an Apple Retail Store and having them have a quick look. I think the only problem, is that if it takes 1-4 hours to occur, a GB appointment is only 15-20 minutes long.
Can you maybe grab a screen shot when the issue occurs?

I get a 213.10 error after installing Captivate

Why do I get a 213.10 error after installing Captivate 7 on a Windows 7 32 bit workstation?

These ones are tricky. But the following instructions are worth a try.
First do a complete uninstall of iTunes and related components (but don't reinstall just yet), as per the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
a. Launch regedit (Start >> Search Programs and Files >> type Regedit and open the regedit that comes up.)
b. Access the following Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData \S-1-5-18\Components
c. Perform the following actions
i. Right Click on Components Folder
ii. Select Permissions
iii. Select Full Control and Read Permissions options
iv. Select Advanced Button
v. Select Owner Tab
vi. Select to Change Owner to the Administrators
vii. Check the option “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects”
viii. Select OK when prompted that it may not change all.
ix. Select Apply
x. Select Apply again
xi. Exit the Registry Editor
Now try reinstalling iTunes again. Does it go in properly this time?

I keep getting a msvcr80.dll error after iTunes update failed?

I keep getting a msvcr80.dll error after iTunes update failed?

Seems the base of the problem is the update installation does not change the libraries but the software wants to see them changed. So the user has to go clear out all software that shares the libraries and then install the full version so they are rebuilt properly.

What can I do if I get an internal power error after upgrading to Windows 10?

QuestionWhat can I do if I get an internal power error after upgrading to Windows 10?
AnswerSome laptops with AMD graphics that upgraded to Windows 10 are showing blue screens with error messages regarding Internal_Power_Error. If you receive this error, try the procedure in this article.
First, you'll need to quickly set the boot options to Safe Mode:
1. Hold the Windows key and press 'R' to open the run box.
2. Type MSCONFIG, then press ENTER.
3. Select the BOOT tab.
4. Under BOOT OPTIONS, check Safe boot, then select Minimal.
5. Click Apply, then OK.
6. Click Restart. (If prompted, click Restart anyway.)
From Safe Mode disable the AMD Display Driver:
1. Hold the Windows key and press the 'X' key to open a menu in the lower-left.
2. Click Device Manager.
3. Expand Display adapters to show the two display adapters.
4. Double click AMD Radeon R9 M200X Series.
5. Select the Driver tab.
6. Click Disable, then click Yes to confirm.
7. Click Close.
8. Hold the Windows key and press the 'R' key to open the run box.
9. Type MSCONFIG, then press ENTER.
10. Select the BOOT tab.
11. Uncheck Safe boot.
12. Click Apply, then OK.
13. Click Restart. (If prompted, click Restart anyway.)
From Windows 10 started with the AMD Display Driver disabled:
1. Hold the Windows key and press the 'X' key to open a menu in the lower-left.
2. Click Device Manager.
3. Expand Display adapters to show the two display adapters.
4. Double click AMD Radeon R9 M200X Series.
5. Select the Driver tab.
6. Click Update Driver.
7. Click Search automatically for updated driver software.
8. An AMD driver should be found and installed.
The driver that originally caused this problem is AMD display driver version 15.200.1046.2 dated 7/15/2015.
The driver installed through this process might have an older date, such as 15.200.1055.0 dated 7/6/2015. That's okay.

I'm having the same problem. I got error message 21. I went to apple store. they are saying i have a hardware error. Really, my phone was working before the update. Asked me for $150 to get another one when I am due to get a new one and wanted to pass this one on to my child.
Help please,
I will be glad to go back to the older software update

External monitor problems after update

Hello,
I'm having some difficulties with my external monitor. I'm using a Phillips 22pfl4505d f7 and the Mini Display Port to VGA adapter. My Mac is a Mid-2009 Macbook 13" Unibody 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. Now, ever since I updated to Lion I've been having some issues. Sometimes (this isn't all the time) when I try to use my monitor, I keep getting a message on my monitor screen "Please change source resolution." When I cycle through all the resolutions offered by system preferences, the only one that works is the 640x480 option. Now I mentioned that this doesn't happen all the time, like yesterday everything worked just fine, but when I went to use it today, I keep getting that message. I updated to Lion last week, and previously to Lion I never got this message and everything worked just fine all the time. I took a peek at Console (not that I really know what I'm looking for) and kept seeing this error message "8/23/11 6:36:59.211 PM Console: kCGErrorIllegalArgument: CGSGetDisplayBounds: Invalid display 0x43000001" Any ideas about what I should do?
Thanks
G

Sorry please forgive me, I'm so exhausted I posted this in MacBook instead of MacBook Pro, I'll try to move it but if I can't I'll try to copy it and post in MacBook Pro, regardless I think there is a problem with the .11 update.
Thanks, C

Can't get F7 external monitor switch to work on 3000 N100

I am trying to connect an external monitor to my Lenovo 3000 N100 but I can't get Fn-F7 to switch monitors. It does nothing at all. Can anyone help me? Running XP SP3.

Hi Guys. Thanks for your help. I've had a little success but still not fully working. I've done a complete update, including BIOS, Power Manager, Power Management Driver, System Interface Driver, Hotkey Driver and finally Presentation Director. Presentation Director wasn't working at all before, and now it is. It comes up when I press Fn-F7 and gives me the option to switch between "Notebook Only", "Same Display on notebook and monitor", "Extended display across notebook and monitor" and "Extended display with "Presenter View Enabled" (I don't understand the last one, it seems to be the same as the next-to-last).
However if I click "Fn-F7 settings" and select "Switch display output from the Notebook LCD to external monitor to both (and then repeat)" then subsequent Fn-F7 presses do nothing at all.
It has given me what I need, which is the same display on both monitors, but it would be nice if the Fn-F7 toggle worked as well.
It would also be nice if I could switch to external monitor only, which I still can't do.
Any more suggestions?

Second (!) external monitor lagging after OS X update

Hi,
I have a second external monitor connecte to my MBA mid-2012. This monitor runs via a USB - DVI link. The first external monitor runs via the thunderbolt connection. Under the previous OS X things were very fine - now, there is a delay on the second external (USB - DVI) monitor. The mouse moves quite slowly. Any solution to this? It's quite annoying.
I use a Terratec Connect A1 card for the link.
thx

I have noticed something similar on my Win7x64 system, but am not able to reliably reproduce it. It seems, for me at least, to be a combination of +Clarity and Lens Profile Correction which will always trigger an observable screen redraw when moving from segment to segment in 1:1 view mode. The variable is the delay.....most often it's a fleeting effect, but occasionally there's a more obvious delay in redrawing the image display. I suspect the more obvious delay is, in addition to the +Clarity and Lens Correction, some internal resource utilisation over a longer Lightroom session....certainly every time I've encountered it a Lightroom restart has cleared it up.
Don't know it that helps, or gives you any pointers to reducing the impact. Because of another "issue" with Lens Corrections (when it's applied, Spot Removal work gets slower), I tend to apply it last of all when editing pictures....so that also helps avoid this 1:1 screen redraw problem.

2010 Macbook Pro 17 display on external monitor only after power on

THis has happened a few times over the past 6 weeks - I power on first thing in the morning and the primary screen is black, and the login screen appears on the external monitor. Shutting it down and starting up again does the same thing. When it happened before I'd power off, remove the external display, power on and then I'd get the primary display back agin but it's not working this time and I've only got the external display working.
Is there a utility to 'kick' the graphics into the correct mode, or is this some type of hardware problem?
Thanks,
Graham

The primary laptop monitor starts blank, and only the external monitor is working.
If I shutdown, unplug the external monitor and power back on the laptop screen stays blank. If I plug the external monitor in the screen that would normally have been on the primary laptop screen is on the external monitor, and the laptop screen remains blank. At this point I can only work with an external monitor plugged in, and that limits my portability a bit

How can I get an external monitor to work in OS 10.9.3

I installed OS 10.9.3. External Retina monitor still works fine. All other external monitors have ceased working. They were working poorly under 10.9.2, now dead. Advice other than giving up and fixing Apple issues by switching to Windows?

I was just assuming since it was 'universal' it would work. D'oh.
The "Universal" accouts for the differences in the architecture between PowerPC and Intel, but not for differences between 32 bit and 64 bit applications. And since MacOS 10.7 the operating system changed dramatically. The process system supports applications to use a sandbox for safe communication. Older code, not ready for sandboxing, cannot communicate with the new GarageBand.

Can't connect to external monitor (possibly after Yosemite update)

I have recently updated my macbook pro to Yosemite. My external monitor (samsung 1080p tv) would connect fine using a hdmi before, but now its unresponsive. I have been into adobe premiere pro CC and been onto preferences > playback > then ticked my monitor but still no luck. I can't remember using the monitor since updating to Yosemite until now so im guessing this is what is the problem as was fine on mavericks. Any ideas? Thanks

Basically I have the same issue. I also suspected a software update (though I am using Mavericks). However, it does play with an older version of Adobe Premiere (CS 6). So I suspect that one of the manny updates to CC broke the connection. It's an important part of my workflow, so let me know if you find out anything. I don't have a solution right now.
Here was my complete post if it helps:

Photoshop keeps on getting out of memory error after installing Premier Pro

I just upgrade my CS to CC. Yesterday I installed Photoshop and did my work without any problem but today after installing Premier and After Effect, I keep on getting out of memory error when I'm working even though I don't have any other application running accept photoshop alone. The file I'm working on is a small file, iphone plus size interface. Basically I can open the file, add blur effect and try to type text I will get photoshop telling me that my system is out of memory. Restarting photoshop give the same problem, restarting my computer give the same problem, ie do one thing and next will give memory not enough.
I don't think my system is slow as it is workstation with dual processor and 12 gig of ram, windows 7 64bits 1gb dedicated memory for graphic card.
I uninstall Premier and After Effect and suddenly the problem go away. Photoshop work as per normal. I didn't have the time to reinstall premier again but will try to do it tonight or tomorrow
Anyone experience such problem before?

When you get that error leaver the error showing and use something the can show you how much free disk space there is left on Photoshop scratch disk. It may be a problem with scratch storage space not ram storage space. I see Photoshop use much more scratch space the ram. I have seen Photoshop using less than 10GB of ram on my machine leaving 30GB of free ram on my system unused while using over 100GB of scratch space.

Audigy2 ZS installed now getting Windows Volume Control error po

Installed the Audigy 2ZS with little problems, I had the Audigy HD integrated MB sound on my computer previously.
Disabled the onboard audio in BIOS, will not let me remove all of the Soundblaster Audigy Advanced MB program. I believe this program is just software that gives it some pseudo Audigy characteristics.
When I try to remove it I get a SETUP.EXE error and informs me it must close the program.
The error message i get on startup is VOLUME CONTROL unable to load the interface. Please reinstall the application.
Any suggestions or tips I would appreciate it.

Icehouse,
You might want to uninstall the A2ZS first. That way there won't be any uncertainty about what Creative entries belong to your onboard sound. Most importantly, you need to back up your registry before making changes and be able to restore it if needed. You can get info on that here. There are also registry cleaner utilities you might want to consider. I haven't used these, but here's a comparison of several.
Another option is to uninstall the A2ZS, remove the card, enable the onboard audio, and try to uninstall it again. If this succeeds, then reinstall the A2ZS. You might want to run drivercleaner after each uninstall.
If you aren't comfortable making changes to the registry, then I'd advise against that. If it comes to that, is there some place you could take your PC for expert help? You might also contact Dell for instructions for disabling the integrated audio.Message Edited by Katman on 02-0-2006 08:9 PM

Fixed 2755 / 1624 / 1311 errors after a year of tutility...

I think others are out there who went through the unbelievable frustration getting new Java updates to be installed (no thanks to Sun). I was getting the errors on both my machines for at least a year. Here's what finally worked for me.
1. Save the file at the link below to your desktop:
javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/GetFile/1.6.0_03-b05/windows-i586/jre1.6.0_03-iftw.msi
Note: If the link doesn't work, run the java install program and when you get the 2755/1624 error, write down the URL that comes up. Then go to that location and save the resulting msi file.
2. Go here and download each of these to your desktop (Sun needs to make these files more easily available, I think I found these locations on some German web site by mistake).
http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/GetFile/1.6.0_03-b05/windows-i586/ja160000.cab
http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/GetFile/1.6.0_03-b05/windows-i586/jb160000.cab
http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/GetFile/1.6.0_03-b05/windows-i586/jc160000.cab
http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/GetFile/1.6.0_03-b05/windows-i586/jp160030.cab
http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/GetFile/1.6.0_03-b05/windows-i586/jz160030.cab
3. Now run the msi file that you downloaded. The install should now get all the way through and you'll be updated to the latest version of Java.
Hope that helps someone else.
Edited by: Joshi on Oct 27, 2007 11:22 AM

I continue to get this aggravating error with every single Java update-- on all my machines. And it only happens with the Sun installer, never with any other (i.e. imo, this is NOT an installshield issue). Nevertheless, since Sun seems uninclined to ever fix it, it now appears that what works is to download the offline version and run it. When the 2755 / 1624 error appears, note the name of the .msi file. Do a hard drive search on that name (it'll be something like jre1.6.0_05.msi). Once the file appears If it doesn't work to just run it, do a right click on the file and "open containing folder," then run it. I can get the install to work that way.
