Is anyone successfully using an LG monitor?

I am considering an LG L226WQT to use with our Power Mac G5 and Macbook Pro. I have been told that LG monitors don't work well with Macs, but I have not found any actual information suggesting this.

Yes, I was aware that LG panels were used in some Apple laptops and I've heard that these panels are as good as or better than the available alternatives.
There's more to a display than the panel, of course. Newer Samsung displays seem much less Mac-friendly and less reliable than the older models. The reason I'm considering the LG, as well as Acer, Asus, and HP is our experience with our newest Samsung, a 2253BW. It was a disappointment from the start, with blue-shifted colors and really poor gray-scale – no black or white, just light gray to dark gray. After eight months the DVI went out. After two months wasted fighting with Samsung support we finally got a refurb as a replacement. The replacement has been shipped back to Samsung after the backlight went out in three weeks. I have had enough of that.
In contrast, our old Samsung 193P, which I still use, was a snap to calibrate, never a problem and still looks better and shows more accurate color than the new mid-priced monitors I've seen. I have looked at dozens of them, all on PCs of course, and I liked the LG and the HP best. My desktop location rules out the super-glossy screen, so that leaves the LG. A big attraction of LG is their 48 hour replacement warranty. Two days certainly beats two months, if true.
I still hope to hear from someone who has actually used an LG with a Mac.

Anyone successfully using an LG Monitor with a Macbook Pro?

I am considering an LG L226WQT to use with our MBP and Powermac G5. I have been told that LG monitors don't work well with Macs, but I have not found any actual information suggesting this.

I just got the HP LP2275w, and I'm not able to get it to detect the signal from the Mac. I may be missing something entirely, since my MacBook Pro is also new and my primary computer was a Windows machine before. Anyone have any tips on getting this monitor going with a MacBook Pro?

Has anyone successfully used Oracle EM as a Monitoring Solution??

Hi All,
This might be a wrong place to post ;) but anyways. My question is can we use Oracle EM as a Monitoring Solution? If so has anyone successfully used it?
I have used Oracle EM over the years for mostly managing Databases. Eventually with the Middleware Support I have tried to use it to monitor Middleware Servers, earlier OC4J and recently WebLogic Servers. I however find that most people when talk about EM they think of it as a Business Transaction Monitoring Solution. (Lets keep BTM out for a while I know about that plugin but it is another full set of questions)
Mostly I get questions as to can we "drill down the transactions" and see who initiated it and "what is being processed at this moment". Here transaction means Business Transaction as opposed "this thread is executing this particular piece of code". People want to know this piece of code is being executed "for Purchase Order XYZ" as opposed to just knowing that purchase order is being processed. If you know what i mean.
No doubt OEM is great tool for an Admin but does it really sell itself as a monitoring solution? I have not seen a successful implementation so far with OEM being a central monitoring solution. If anyone has any experiences to share it would be great.

I tried to look at that option. It is available only for the Database. I was looking something more towards say the web Services hosted or the Web Applications hosted on Weblogic instances. Can we find say the Web Service call which had the Purchase Order XYZ in its request, etc.

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive?

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive? Apple support tech tried to tell me it wasn't possible and that the only NAS Time Machine could back up to is the Time Capsule, but I'm not buying it. I know it's doable, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which External HDDs will work and which ones won't. If not My Book for Mac, is there an External HDD that will work? (Running OS X 10.9.1 - Mavericks, btw...)

Given the nature of backups, my recommendation has always been to use a strategy that is unequivocally supported by Apple. As you already determined Apple Support unequivocally informed you that your proposal will not work, unless your router is an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
A hard disk drive directly connected to your Mac
That is all.
Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless when they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents.

Has anyone successfully used the ZTE Open C with an AT&T microcell?

I have a ZTE Open C and have had no issues with initial setup w/AT&T. However, like most newer phones the voice signal reception is very weak.
I've had an AT&T Microcell before, but I don't have one now. For those that are unaware, the microcell allows 3G phones to connect via a 3G signal, but the call is routed through a home broadband internet connection.
Has anyone successfully used a ZTE Open C w/Firefox OS AND used an AT&T microcell? If yes, did you need to do anything special on the phone or with Firefox OS.

I don't use a ZTE Open C, however, I do have a ZTE Open (Original) on AT&T and so I'll see if I can help ;D
I know someone who has a Microcell, and I have used it myself a few times. However, the microcell only works if you have entered in your phone number into settings of the Microcell.
Check the Microcell settings.
Check the data connection settings on your FxOS device
Make sure your Microcell is properly connected to WiFi
and check the AT&T support page for more info
For a while, it actually hasn't actually worked for me. I apologize if this doesn't solve your problem :D

Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

Although I gave up investment tracking for personal reasons (I had used Quicken Deluxe 2002 for many years for that reason), my understanding is that the new Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion is completely the same feature wise as Quicken 2007 for PPC. It will run on Snow Leopard, too.
For $15, why not download it and just try it and LET US KNOW!

Is anyone successfully using Digieffects Camera Mapper with CS5

Hello all,
I greatly want to use Digieffects Camera Mapper with After Effects CS5 in Windows 7..
http://digieffects.com/product/camera_mapper
But it keeps crashing my installation of After Effects.
I'm using the demo CS5 version downloaded from the DigieEffects website. Digieffects support says the demo version works the same as the paid version (except for the watermark.). No problem there -- if I can get the demo version to work then I will buy it.
Digieffects support says it works fine with their Windows 7 CS5 installation of After Effects.
I went so far as to completley reinstall windows and reinstall CS5 master collection. But after all that work I get the same crash.
We are talking about a clean install of Windows 7 and a clean install of the CS5 master collection with nothing else installed on the computer.
And I keep getting the crash.
So my question here, is anyone succesfully using Digieffects Camera Mapper with CS5. Are there any tips that I should know of. Please look at my screen captuers of the steps I take which end up in a crash.
As I said this is a new (just a few hours old) installation of Windows 7 Professional and a new (just a few hours old) installation of CS5 Master Collection. No other plug-ins or programs installed.
Thanks
...Rowby

I'm sorry to say I have not heard from Digieffects regarding Windows 7 CS5 compatibility with Camera Mapper.
It is strange because I've had at least one phone call from them, and then a few weeks ago they said they confirmed there was a problem and their engineer was working on it, and I should expect to receive an update of the plug-in that works with Windows 7 CS5.
Since then I haven't heard a peep, even though I sent them 2 follow up support requests.
In my case I was testing a demo, but Digieffects support said the demo was the same as the non-demo version (except for the demo watermark).
Below is a link to Digieffects' compatibility page which shows that Camera Mapper is compatible with CS5.
http://www.digieffects.com/support/compatibility
Their silence on this issue, after their assurances to me that a fix is eminent, is baffling.
Below is Digieffects support's last communication with me, on October 11.
>>
Rowby,
I think the engineer has this one figured out. Turned out to be a problem in the plugin- I will send you an updated one at some point today as soon as I recieve it from the engineer. Thanks for your patience and help with this one

Anyone successfully using Btrfs with dm-cache - any howtos

Hi
Does anyone successfully set up dm-cache (or flashcache) on arch? If so is it performing well and stable for you? and how did you set it up (nothing yet on the wiki)?
thanks in advance

don't know about dm-cache or flashcache. But at least bcache (which is the one I would choose from the three options if I had a caching drive) shouldn't be stable with btrfs yet according to: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Gotchas

Anyone successfully use DOS-bootable thumbdrive on T400s?

Hi,
I have a couple of flashdrives that i've formatted as bootable DOS disks and i've used both of them on my old HP NC6400 for yrs. But my new T400s is pretending that it can't see them. My T400s will boot from an external USB floppy and it also has an entry in the boot sequence list in the BIOS for an external USB HD and, IIRC, an external USB optical drive. But formatting my flashdrive to emulate a HD hasn't worked so far on the T400s.
If I plug in one of these DOS flashdrives, hit the power button and then F12 the "bootable devices currently seen" list shows NO USB devices at all.
So before I call Lenovo tech support I thought i'd check and see what your experience has been. And, if you have successfully used one of these guys on your T400s what utility did you use to format your drive and what kind of emulation did you use?
TIA,
laffin_boy

IIRC there are some older BIOSen that insisted on displaying USB flash drives as hard drives. Worse, on one machine, I have to boot to BIOS with the flash drive plugged in, move it up in the hard drive boot list, reboot to the boot menu, and select boot from hard drive.
My T400 behaves as one would expect: USB flash drives show up explicitly in the boot menu. I'd expect your machine to behave the same way. On the off chance, do you see an expandable HD list in the boot menu ( a "+" or something)?

Anyone Successfully Using iChat Today? (Fri, Jun23rd)

Just checking to see if anyone is successfully getting an AV chat session going today. I usually connect with no problems, but since the past day or so, I haven't been able to connect with either any of my buddies (California/New York/Shanghai). Might there be a service issue with iChat or AIM, rather than our Macs?
Currently using Linksys WRT54GS routers with ibook and/or macbook.
thx

Hi UrizenNYC,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
I have two computers logged into AIM with two different Screen names.
I can see all my usual Buddies on line.
However, both computers have lost contact with AIM and disconnected a few times this evening since I Logged on at about 21.30 local time.
Adust how long that interval is with the Post time
This does suggest a problem with the AIM servers

Anyone success. used ADS Tech DVDXPress box on a PC to add clips to iMovie?

I have an ADSTech DVXPress box (PC Only) that I am using to pull video off a VCR... has anyone here been able to successfully pull video from a PC with this box and import it into IMovie HD (6?)on a Mac?
I am using a Dell 2.89 Ghz with the DVDXPress box and a MacBook Pro 2.0 with Quicktime Pro and MPEG 2 import.
I can view the files I create on the Mac, but they just don't import into iMovie. It says 'Importing Clip...' then the box closes and nothing happens.

I still don't understand this communication system very well, but I solved the problem with the Sansa Clip by myself, no thanks to Applecare, Sansa Clip Support, or my local Apple re-seller. the Clip must be set to MSC, not MTP format. Then the clip icon appears on the desktop. Down load the selected MP3 book from the public library using OverDrive Media Console. Open Itunes and the book should appear in the ITunes Music folder. Highlight all parts of the book and drag into the Sansa Clip player icon on the desktop. I did two books but had a hard time hitting the Audiobooks folder and the books are in different folders but I listened to a bit of each one and they work fine! It only took about 10 frustrating hours. THanks to RKaufmann87 for using the word "format" which served as a clue to me.

Has anyone successfully used CarPlay?

I have a 2014 Honda Civic and was told by dealer that once Apple released most recent iOS, the UI would be compatible with CarPlay as seen on apple.com/ios/carplay pictures & other blogs. However, when I connect it with cable it does not change UI from HondaLink to CarPLay. Does anyone know how to successfully link iPhone in car using CarPlay or do I need something from Honda (firmware update, etc.)?

Honda needs to support CarPlay and as of now they don't.

Anyone successful using any other technique than O...

OVI Music is virtually useless to transfer a large quantity of music. After anywhere from 0 to 50 songs, it just plain hangs even with the latest OVI and the newly released N97 firmware.
Has anyone found a viable alternative that works reliably? Perhaps some other music software's syncing; mass storage mode...anything??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Success! 750 albums loaded, all appear in the N97 Music Player, and my home screen icons and music widget did not get corrupted (as it did each time with Nokia Music). And, the new N97 firmware refreshed the library in about 7 hours, twice as fast as the original firmware.
I appreciate all the responses. The common theme here is that using Mass Storage mode is faster and more reliable than trusting the Nokia software.
To recap the simple steps for anyone needing to load a large amount of music into the phone from Windows:
1) Make sure you have your Windows music library organized in folders, where each artist has a folder and each album for that artist is a subfolder. This step will make refresh and access by the phone's player faster.
2) Make sure your phone is fully charged if you need to transfer a lot of music!
3) Connect the USB data cable and select Mass Storage mode.
4) Open 2 copies of Window Explorer (will make it easier to see existing contents and what is being copied).
5) In one Explorer, navigate to the root of your music so that the list of artist subfolders is in the right pane.
6) In the other Explorer, navigate to the mass storage's assigned drive letter. You should see two drive letters for your phone, one for the phone memory and one for the mass storage. Open the mass storage drive and navigate to the "Music" folder to reveal its contents.
7) In the 1st Explorer, select all the artist's folders you want on your phone, then drag the group into the Music folder in the 2nd Explorer. For me, it took about 2 hours for 7000 songs. (That's about 10 times faster than using Nokia software)
8) When done, be sure to use the Windows System Tray icon to "Safely Remove Hardware" before disconnecting the USB cable from the phone!
9) Connect the phone's charger since the next step can take a very long time...and running out of battery during the refresh will be bad.
10) Lastly, go to the N97 Music Player, choose the Library, then select Options/Refresh Library.....and wait. until it's done.

Anyone successfully use Clix repFieldsRecalc?

Hi, I am attempting to recalculate all of my calculated fields on our repository using Clix, and listed as a command is:
CLIX repFieldsRecalc MdsHostSpec RepositorySpec [-O] [-N]
Refreshes all Calculated Fields on a loaded repository
I have provided a valid MdmHostSpec and RepositorySpec but I am unable to get it to execute. No errors, just displays the list of commands as if you entered an invalid one.
Has anyone used this command successfully before?
Thank in advance!
Anup

A while ago I was using MDM Batch Syndicator and I realized that some parameters that appeared as all available commands were not "really" available. I would guess this is the same case, someone in charge of help/documentation went a little ahead of the development team
