Is there any updates since February 2014 re: macbook pro not working with Smartboard?

My computer recognizes that it is attached but will not display what is on the desktop. I am currently running Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro and trying to project in onto a Smart Board 600 series.  The MacBook Pro used to work with Smart Board; now, all of a sudden it does not work.  And, sometimes it will project, but many times it simply will not.  I am using a brand new adapter, and projection works with my Epson Powerlite 78 at home. 
Smart Board refers me to Apple Support believing the conflict to be hardware.  Incidentally, I downloaded Smartboard software to my MacBook Pro previously, but uninstalled it because it was causing crashes to my computer. But, users do not have to download SmartBoard software for projection.
Are there any possible solutions to my inquiry?  Thank you for any considerations.

Hi, well basically our family got BT infinity about 2 weeks ago, and it worked with my macbook for about 3 days or so, but after that just suddenly stopped working. It says it's connected in airport and gives full connection, but chrome, spotify, skype, etc do not work. However the rest of the computers in the house which run on windows do work. For the last week or so I have been using a neighbour's open wireless (Netgear) which has been pretty consistent if a little slow. So basically, is there anything i can do? i've pretty extensively looked at all the forums regarding MBPs and routers, and it seems it may be a mac fault (meaning i may be in the wrong forum.) but any help would be appreciated. thanks.
Hi there,
It sounds to me like you're having troubles with the wireless channels on the Home Hub.
Here's what I'd suggest you do: Download istumbler on your Mac (or inssider 2 on your PC) and use this to check which wireless channel you're currently on and if need be, change to a less congested channel.
I hope this info helps.

  • Is there any Sound card 5.1 include stereo mix that working with MacBook Air such as Creative Labs SoundBlaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro Entertainment System ? and if there any another sound card can you tell me what is it please ? Thank you.

    Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
    This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
    Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
    Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

    If you aren't going to live that long maybe you should give up with computers and start enjoying the few remaining hours.

  • My macbook is not working with any headphones!!!!

    i have a problem my macbook is not working with any headphones
    can any body tell me why is it doing this?
    or how i can tell if its just the headphone jack w/o taking it to an apple store? I really dont have the time until the end of the semester and i dont want my macbook crashing on me when working on a project.
    thanks in advance

    When you plug the headphones in can you still hear the audio through the MacBook's built-in speakers? If you can then you may have a physical problem with the audio port on the MacBook. In any case, you should check to see if the headphones are being recognized in the System Preferences -> Sound control panel (under the "Output" tab). Note that it is possible to have different volume/mute settings between the speakers and the headphones so you need to check the Sound control panel to see if you have the headphone output set to mute. When I plug a set of headphones into my MacBook the output name in the Sound control panel changes to "Headphones" from "Internal Speakers." You should check to see if you see the same behavior on your MacBook.

  • Since Reader X previous view tool not working with linked documents

    We have many linked pdf documents. After upgrading to Acrobt Reader X we can´t go back to the parent document by using the "previous view" command. In older versions we can use this function to navigate back. Is there an option in the preferences to reactivate this possibility?  

    I have been told by Adobe support that this is not a bug, but a security feature.
       Our company has, over many years, developed for our most important software application a PDF help system with hundreds of books and thousands of pages. There are myriad links between and within the books. In order to make navigation through this morass easier, we have provided our users a starting "Main Menu" with links to the books. We also set it up so that only one PDF is open at any given time ("open in same window" option), otherwise a user could end up with hundreds of open PDF documents on their taskbar or desktop. We also have our users take advantage of the "Previous View" mechanism to make it easier to navigate while keeping only one window open at a time.  (The browser "Back" button trick will not work with PDFs that have been closed).
      However, Since version X of the Reader, the Previous View mechanism will not work with PDFs that have been closed. That is, you can only get back to a previous view in another PDF if it is still open. As mentioned above, this could leave our users with hundreds of open PDFs, and thus it is not an option for us. But Adobe has ignored our pleas.
      You must vote with your feet; that is all Adobe understands. Adobe does not care about our needs and we have given up on them. We are currently telling our users:
      "If you use a non-Adobe PDF reader, you will be able to install it on a system alongside any version of Adobe Reader, including version 10. We have found that Tracker Software makes an excellent free product called PDF-XChange Viewer, which may be downloaded HERE. PDF-XChange has a smaller footprint, is faster, and has more features than Adobe Reader, including a 64-bit version for Windows XP/Vista/7.
      To set up this program to optimally use our help system, go to Preferences, and under "General," specify that the Documents Layout be Single rather than Multiple. Then you will be able to use the Alt keys with the arrows, or the Previous/Next View buttons on the toolbar, with closed PDFs."

  • My mail will not open or close when aim done using it? Is there any update i need to do to make this work properly??

    If some can help me?? My mac mail will not close when iam finished with it, or will it open when i awake my computer is there an update i need to do??

    As the message comes from AVG yo will need to read about AVG to stop those alerts.
    If you think there is a genuine problem with firefox
    * see [[high memory usage]] <-- clickable link -- <br/> that contains some tips and information about memory usage
    * go to ''about:memory'' by keying that into the location bar <br/> the report that is generated may be of help - it gives tooltip info on mouseover of items, and has a button that tries to reduce memory usage

  • Is there any updates available for Acrobat 7.0 to be used with Vista?

    It seems to be an uncompatibilty with Vista that I acquired yesterday. No problem with XP but struggling with Vista. A guy in Dublin over the phone (when I registered the product) said it was not compatible and that is it. No solution he was aware of. The message given as a code error is 93: -2 or a window appears in Acrobat saying:
    HKCMD.EXE and IGFXTRAY.EXE - BAD IMAGE
    C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/IGFXRES.DLL IS EITHER NOT DESIGNED TO RUN ON WINDOWS OR IT CONTAINS AN ERROR.
    The suggestion is to desinstal and reinstall software. I have tried this but still the same problem. I have tried so many times that I could not activate the software automatically over the internet - so called this guy in Dublin...
    I reckon that the suggested update to Acrobat 7.0.1 is not good as when installed, repeated error messages come up! I am reluctant to try to download it again just to try because I am scared that I will have to call Dublin again to activate the software...
    Any suggestion on the above?
    Thanks guys.

    Starting here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
    You could click the individual update links to read the descriptions of what is included in each update
    The current version 9 is designed for Vista (as well as XP)
    As far as I know, version 8 would work with Vista AFTER you applied the updates

  • Are there any drivers for NI's Audio 4 DJ that work with 10.7.4?

    I have been trying to get my system working with my dj equipment since I bought my Mac and I have had no luck. I have installed the Beta drivers from Native Intsruments' website, but I'm starting to wonder if there's something else going on. I am running an Audio 4 DJ with my 13" Macbook Pro that has a 2.90GHz i7 and 8GB of 1600MHz DDR3 RAM. I have been scouring the NI forums, but I think it may be best to turn to the Apple community on this one. Can anyone help? By the way, I just converted from an older Dell laptop to my nice, new Mac so I am still getting new to Lion and how it is laid out.

    Currently, there are no further updates to the AirPort software applicable to your base station.

  • Is there any tutorial on how to keep macbook pro clean and fully working?

    Hi everyone,
    I bought a macbook pro three days ago (and it works like a charm by the way). I'll be using this computer mainly for school work so I don't want to mess it up like I did on my iMac 2011. So what would you suggest to keep this computer clean and fully working (like a new one) for a long time since I plan to keep it at least 3-4 years? Would you recommend any cleaning software, or to manually clean the macbook once in a while? Basically, all I want to know is how to keep a healthy mac as long as possible!
    For the physical aspect of the mac I already have a sleeve for it so I don't think it's going to be an issue.
    Thank you!
    AteMyApple

    No maintence necessary, really - see Thomas Reed's article:
    The myth of the dirty Mac
    ...and...
    Mac Performance Guide
    ...both make good reading. DO NOT mess with any 'clean your mac' utilities - they're junk and may do more harm than good.

  • My iPad Air has the latest software update, since that the location services are not working! What to do? Even my friend's iPod has the same problem. Our version is iOS 7.1.2. I think that the services have stopped working since iOS 7.0.4.

    My iPad Air has the latest software version(iOS 7.1.2) update, since that update the location services have stopped working. have a solution?

    I have had the same problem, so many apps do not work properly without it! Apple says the internet satellite, the Internet satellite says Apple, back and forth with the blame instead of fixing the problem. Have turned location on and off, reset everything multiple times ( lots of hours and bandwidth to download ), Siri is now working part time, I guess she has cut back her hours for the summer. Even in these forums was suggested to check with Skyhook who does the global positioning, and after hours with them, they ended up saying that they have nothing to do with it anymore, Apple does. All to no avail and much frustration! I wonder if this is happening with the iPhone's? i'd like to know if this is happening with others that do not use satellite as their ISP? That would help narrow down the argument with Apple vs. satellite. Fell for you! Someone please help us! Ta

  • Is there any way to recover a .tif I was just working with?

    The Facts
    System:  PC
    Program:  Photoshop CS5
    Version:  12.0.4
    The Situation
    I am working with a .tif file (1000 cm x 1000 cm at 72 dpi).  I have been copying and pasting images from other .tif files into it in order to see all images at once, so I can then move them around and try to fit certain images together.  I have been saving it as a .tif with no compression over the last few days.  The file is now 2.61 GB with 119 images.
    The Problem
    Before going to lunch, I saved it as I always do and left.  When I returned, Photoshop told me it could not open because it did not recognize the file type.
    My Questions
    1.  Is there any way to recover my file?
    2.  It is imperative that the files I am adding to this .tif remain their actual size.  That said, what is the best image compression option that I should use?
    The File
    Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

    I do not know if your file can be recovered.  But I may be able help you to recreate it with ease.  If you will settle for a composite where all image are re-sized for a particular tile size and virtually cropped to its aspect ratio.  However all source image need be gathered into a folder to use my script process.

  • HT201366 Macbook Pro not proceeding with Update

    Hello Community,
    My Macbook Pro (early 2011) has halted at the end of the installation process, when it states "Less than a minute". What should I do? Is there any risk to the system if I do a cold shutdown?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Best,
    Marcel

    The problem was about the above mentioned Security Update
    Update 2013-003
    I solved the problem by forcing the Mac to shut down. After that the update had to be repeated, which then worked out fine.
    Thank you for your help!
