Is Apple doing anything to fix the problem with displaylink in Mavericks?

I have been doing the Beta track for several years.  Apple has been fairly good about ironing out the bugs before a release (as compared to Microsuck and other OS alternatives).  But this problem with DisplayLink and Mavericks is about to kill me.  I've been running multiple displays for several years and never had problems with prior OSX versions.  My work computer (Macbook Pro) is still running Lion and works perfectly with DisplayLink and two 27" Samsung HD monitors.  I would really love to get back to using the monitor setup with my Dev environment, however I can't even get a 2013 model Mavericks Macbook Pro to recognize that the DisplayLink device (IBM USB3.0 dock) is connected. 
Once or twice I've gotten one monitor to show up after using the computer for a random amount of time.  On that occasion, suddenly the main screen blinked and the second monitor came to life.  I was reading webmail with Safari at the time and no other apps were running or had been started when it happened.  This sort of thing isn't what I would classify as release-ready.
Every seed announcement I keep hoping for a fix, but after 3 since the Mav release, I'm beginning to lose hope.  Anyone have info on how this might be made to work?
Thanks
David

DisplayLink also points fingers at Apple, which may be completely valid, but expecting Apple to put much effort into problems that only affect third-party hardware using an unsupported interface seems a bit of wishful thinking.
However, rumor sites indicate a focus on graphics in the next update : http://www.macrumors.com/2014/03/06/apple-seeds-first-os-x-10-9-3-build-to-devel opers/

  • Does anyone know when Apple is going to fix the problem that the Iphone 4 has with transfering voice memos to itunes?

    Does anyone know when Apple is going to fix the bug with transfering voice memos from the IPhone 4 to itunes on a computer. I waisted a lot of time trying to figure out why it was not working. Then I read some comments about other people having the same issues.
    cheers!

    Anyone that did know would be bound by non-dosclosure agreement not to say.
    Unless Apple announces, which they very rarely do, there is no way to know what Apple will do in the future or when they will do it.
    Sorry.

  • Hey Apple when are you going to fix the problems with IOS 8.3??

    Hey Apple when are you going to fix the problems with IOS 8.3??
    Message is working weird.
    I don't have internet service when I'm away from my WiFi, because my phone won't use LTE now.
    Should I wait for a IOS 8.3.1 update or reset my phone to factory and start over?
    If there's a fix coming when will we see it?
    (I'm using iPhone6 plus)
    I've tried everything else to fix the problems I'm having. Soft restart. Hard restart. Used your chat line. Called Verizon. Reset network settings.... Help!!!!!
    I've posted on the Apple Communities about all this and I've sent in a couple of bug reports.
    I live up in the mountains and MUST be able to access my Verizon LTE for information if there is a fire! I'm in California!

    I have a Verizon iPhone 6 and am having none of those problems.

    Didn't they already have you do that? If you haven't, yes, you should restore your phone as new and test.

  • Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection?

    Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection on the iPad 3?

    Cellular connection problem was for US connection in Houston, Texas.  Have an iPad 2 which functions perfectely on Wi-Fi or 3G.  Bought an iPad 3 strictly to get the increased speed from the 4G LTE connection.  Purchased on with the AT &T cellular.  Wi-Fi functions fine, but 4G LTE connection is terrible when it connects at all.  Went to AT&T and they said no problems with service in my area, but never get over 2 bars and most times, Web pages load very slow or will hang and not load at all.  Went to the Apple store and they said it was AT&T network problem and went to AT&T and they said no problems with their service.  Went to the Apple communities forum here and discovered that many people were having the same problems with the 4G LTE cellular connection on their iPad 3's.  Didn't seem to matter if it was AT&T or Verizon.  So I decided that I would just return the unit and wait for Apple to fix the problem.  Hence my question.
    Appreciate very much your time in responding to my question.

  • How do I Help Apple Care Stop Warring with Each Other and Fix the Problem with My iPhone that They Acknowledge Creating?

    How Do I Help Apple US & Apple Europe Stop Warring With Each Other And Fix The Problem They Created?
    PROBLEM
    Apple will not replace, as promised, the iPhone 5 (A1429 GSM model) that they gave me in London, UK, with an iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model).
    BACKGROUND
    My iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model) was purchased this year in September on an existing Verizon Wireless (VZW) line using an upgrade. The purchase took place in California and the product was picked up using Apple Personal Pickup through the Cerritos Apple Retail Store. I will refer to this phone at my "original" phone.
    The original phone was taken into the Apple Store Regent Street in London, England, UK on November 15, 2012. The reason for this visit was that my original phone's camera would not focus.
    The Apple Store Regent Street verified there was a hardware problem but was unable to replace the part.
    The Apple Store Regent Street had me call the US AppleCare. At first they denied support, but then a supervisor, name can be provided upon request, approved the replacement of my original phone with an iPhone 5 (A1429 GSM model) as a temporary solution until I got back in the US. And approved that the GSM model would be replaced with a CDMA model when I came back to the US. I will refer to the GSM model as the "replacement". They gave me the case number --------.
    The Apple Store Regent Street gave me the replacement and took the original. The first replacement did not work for reasons I do not understand. They switched out the replacement several times until they got one that worked on the T-Mobile nano SIM card that I had purchased in England, UK. Please refer to the repair IDs below to track the progression of phones given to me at the Apple Store Regent Street:
    Repair ID ----------- (Nov 15)
    Repair ID ----------- (Nov 16)
    Repair ID ----------- (Nov 16)
    The following case number was either created in the UK or France between November 15 to November 24. Case number -----------
    On November 19, 2012, I went to France and purchased an Orange nano SIM card. The phone would not activate like the first two repair IDs above.
    On November 24, 2012, I went to the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps. The Genius told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault. They had me call the AppleCare UK.
    My issue was escalated to a tier 2 UK AppleCare agent. His contact information can be provided upon request. He gave me the case number -----------.
    The UK tier 2 agent became upset when he heard that I was calling from France and that the France Apple Store or France AppleCare were not helping me. He told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault.
    The UK tier 2 agent said he was working with engineers to resolve my problem and would call me back the next day on November 25, 2012.
    While at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps, a Genius switched the phone given to from repair ID ----------- with a new one that worked with the French nano SIM card.
    Also, while at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps, I initiated a call with AppleCare US to get assistance because it seems that AppleCare UK was more upset that France was not addressing the issue rather than helping me. I have email correspondance with the AppleCare US representative.
    A Genius at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps switched the replacement with a new GSM model that worked on the French SIM card but would not work if restored, received a software update, or had the SIM card changed. This is the same temporary solution I received from the Apple Store Regent Street in the UK.
    By this point, I had spent between 12-14 hours in Apple Store or on the phone with an AppleCare representative.
    Upon arriving in the US, I went to my local Apple Store Brea Mall to have the replacement switched with a CDMA model. They could not support me. He told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault. My instructions were to call AppleCare US again.
    My call with AppleCare US was escalated to a Senior Advisor, name can be provided upon request, and they gave me the case number -----------. After being on the phone with him for over an hour, his instructions were to call the Apple Store Regent Street and tell them to review my latest notes. They were to process a refund for a full retail priced iPhone 5 64BG black onto my credit card so that I could use that money to buy a new iPhone 5 64GB black at the Apple Store Brea Mall to reoslve the problem.
    The Apple Store Regent Street did not process my refund. He, name can be provided upon request, told me that the AppleCare US did not do a good job reviewing my case, that they were incapable of getting to the bottom of it like they were, and instructed me to call AppleCare US and tell them to review this case number and this repair id. I asked if he read the notes from the AppleCare US Senior Advisor and he would not confirm nor deny. When I offered to give him the case number he accepted but it seemed like would do no good. Our call was disconnected. When I tried calling back the stores automated system was turned on and I could not get back through.
    Now I have the full retail price of an iPhone 5 64GB black CDMA on my credit card and Apple will not process the refund as they said they would.
    I've, at this point, spent between 14-16 hours at Apple Stores or on the phone with AppleCare representatives, and still do not have the problem resolved.
    SOLUTION
    AppleCare US and AppleCare Europe need to resolve their internal family issues without further impacting their customers.
    Apple is to process a refund to my credit card for the cost of a full retail priced iPhone 5 64GB black.
    DESIRED OUTCOMES
    I have an iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model) that works in the US on VZW as it did before I received the replacement phone in the UK.
    Apple covers the cost of the solution because I did not create the problem.
    Apple resolves their internal issue without costing me more time, energy, or money.
    This becomes a case study for AppleCare so that future customers are not impacted like I have been by their support system.
    Does anyone have recommendations for me?
    Thank you!
    <Edited by Host>

    Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
    Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

  • QT 7.4.5 did **not** fix the problem with some .mp4s

    It has been 3 versions now - 7.4, 7.4.1, 7.4.5 - since Apple broke the ability of QuickTime Player to play some .mp4 files. Apple says it is because they have some kind of malformed headers, yet they play fine in iTunes. So why can't QT Player play them, and some people report they have problems when put into Keynote?
    Apple has broken functionality for lots of users. Time and again this bug has been brought to their attention. It apparently is a design decision not to fix this, and it is a big disappointment.

    The story so far:
    If you are having problems playing MPEG4 video in Quicktime 7.4 (and Apple are aware that some users have had such problems) you should carefully check in
    /Library/Quicktime and
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins and
    Home/Library/Quicktime
    to check whether you have any third party plug-ins that are not completely up to date.
    Current versions of Flip4Mac and DiVX and Perian do NOT cause failure alone or in combination. However the one SPECIFIC extension that ALWAYS causes the failure alone or in groups is 3ivxMediaImp. All other 3ivx extensions DO work. Remove only that ONE SPECIFIC extension.
    Please try this and see if it fixes your problem with QT Player, the QT Firefox Plugin, and iTunes not playing MPEG4 files (including mp4 files).
    Older 3ivx and DivX components are often incompatible with new QuickTime versions and are, in many cases, obviated by component packs like Perian.
    This is not the only explanation for issues with MPEG4 file playback in QuickTime 7.4 and later, however. The issue with videos from democracynow.org and others, for instance, is the result of that content not complying with MPEG4 standards (namely that they use bogus track dimensions). QuickTime had previously ignored invalid track dimensions but this was changed in order to support properly authored anamorphic content.
    The recent update to QT 7.4.1 fixed a number of issues but some problems are unavoidable when working with non-standards compliant content. The standards are important for many reasons including keeping hackers from manipulating improperly coded web pages.
    A further problem was the fact that the developers of iSquint conceded that in many cases, the files do not play because they have been created in a non-standard way (the tool used to create them was broken). They have therefore included a Debreaker as a part of the latest version of iSquint. If your files are of this type, then you can run them through this app without having to downgrade QuickTime. This could save you a lot of hassle!
    http://www.isquint.org/getit.php
    However, in other cases, there is a workaround (also the basis for why those files will still play in iTunes): there are a few ways to trick QuickTime into ignoring the invalid track data. For instance, rename the files .3GP and they'll show up just fine.
    Post back if you want a list of the plug-ins you should have in order to play pretty much anything in Quicktime.
    The recent (mostly security) update to Quicktime 7.4.5 has not changed the situation as described.

  • Where can I find the update to fix the problem with the trackpad acting up?

    My trackpad has been acting up lately, with the arrow going everywhere by itself, and not being able to control it. I googled and found that it's a common problem for the 2011 Macbook Pros, and that Apple had released an update to fix the problem. Where can I find the update on the Apple site?

    If an update is available, it will appear when you select Apple menu > Software Update...
    But you should also read this support article:

  • Fixing the problem with the Device Not Recongized by WMP and Mediasource problem with MTP devi

    PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING!!! I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE MANY OTHER FAILED SOLUTIONS BUT YOU HAVE TO READ THROUGH MY WHOLE POST TO MAKE IT WORK!!!TRUST ME!!!
    ok, now I read this a billion times, and felt that I was the only idiot that had a "bad" computer that didn't allow me to use my Zen mtp device... but it turns out I was more idiotic than I thought. I hope this helps those who have the same problem I had...here goes...
    When you go to the Creative Labs website, go to Support, then Knowledge Base, then go to the MP3 players picture in the PRODUCT CATEGORY and click on it. You need to follow the steps that are described on the SID0053 Product Article. Then click on the Editing the System Registry link towards the bottom and it will tell you what to do...BUT there is something that I never ever did right and I bet lots of other folks didn't do right either. Once you are in the USB Properties seccion of the registry, YOU ACTUALY HAVE TO ADD THE WORD "EVERYONE" INTO THE ALLOWED SECCION!!! Not just because it says "Administrators" and what not means that EVERYONE IS ALLOWED, allow the word "everyone"thne click OK. Now, I did this with my Zen Touch on and plugged into the USB port and without the word DOCKED on it, as it wouldn't dock for me before this. that's it... hope it works for you, if it does then almost instantly the word DOCKED should appear on your MP3 player's Display. Hope that everyone has the same luck as I did. if not, I'll pray for you, I know how frustrating this problem is because I delt with it for toooooo long.

    I had a similar problem with my Zen Touch, but the only symptom was not being able to install MediaSource or the Software Suite. I got the same messages that you did. I was able to use Windows Explorer to add/edit/remove files, but I wanted the Zen Media Explorer so that I could create playlists. After about 2 days of research and trial and error, I ended up fixing it by uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers.
    If you don't know how to do that, here are instructions...
    I'm using XP SP2, btw, so if you're using another version of Windows, it might be slightly different...
    ) With the Zen connected, Right-click on "My Computer"
    2) Select "Properties"
    3) Click on the "Hardware" tab and select "Device Manager"
    4) Right Click on "MTP Device" (or MTP Media Player) and select "Uninstall"
    5) Disconnect the player from the computer, wait about 5 secs, and reconnect.
    When you reconnect it, the drivers will be reinstalled. Try running the setup again after that.
    If that still doesn't work, look for random optional Windows updates, maybe?...esp. PlaysForSure, WMP, or USB/mobo/INF/Chipset driver updates...or maybe when it says "Setup could not detect and portable device on your system. Setup will now install the necessary drivers to enable your device to be detected," it actually <i>is</i> doing something, but it isn't apparent until you reinstall the driver. To be honest, I just don't know. The computer I'm using is only a few months old and I didn't have any problems installing on an older computer.
    Oh well. I hope that fixes your problem.
    As far as the problem with the 360 connectivity, I'm sorry I can't help you there.Message Edited by potestasx on -03-2006:28 PM

  • My iphoto library folder with files of my pictures is missing from the pictures folder, only the application icon remains.  I have read through similar discussions but have not managed to fix the problem with the recommended solutions.  Can anyone help?

    I have a Macbook Pro with iphoto '08 running on Mac OS X version 10.5.8.  I used to be able to go to my pictures folder on my HD and access my pictures via that iphoto library folder.  There used to be a small arrow next to the iphoto icon with all the albums then listed within the folder (to the right).  That arrow is now gone and all I have is the iphoto application icon which just reopens iphoto when I click on it, but I want to be able to access the data files.  Somehow I do have files btwn 2008 and 2009 but it hasn't created these since then...Could someone please help me to restore this ability?  I have read other similar posts but they seem to be related to lost data all together and I do luckily have all my pictures in iphoto still. I just can't access them in the pictures folder which means I can't access them on my external hard drive.  I am now out of start up disc space somehow so I figured I had to delete some albums (I have 12,090 pictures) and do have them backed up but want to make sure I can go back for them when I need them.  I did export all the pictures to a folder on the hard drive but it is all 12,090 in one long list with only numbers as names and not in any order, this will be a nightmare to access later!  Please help!  Thank you!

    You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
    That indicates that that is your library.  Put it in your Pictures folder if it already isn't there and make sure it's named "iPhoto Library".  It should look like this:
    Now launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select that library to open.  If you get that same message close iPhoto and try the following;
    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
