LCD TV

I have a 44" LCD TV that was purchased in March 2005 and recently everything in the middle of the screen has a greenish yellow tint. Why is this happening?? It is a Zenith and there have never been any gaming systems connected to it.

The pixels may be going bad. Would be a costly repair.

Help with sound to LCD TV when using HDMI

I would love any assistance with a problem I am having. I have a new mac mini with a 40" Proscan LCD. I am using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and am getting great video - 1080. My issue is that via Keynote I need to get sound to the LCD TV. It is coming through the mini speaker - what do I need to do to get the sound over to the TV? Any assistance would be appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The user guide which came with your TV should cover the issue in the different connections available for your unit.
DVI is video only. HDMI is audio and video. If you are using an adapter to connect DVI to HDMI there is no audio because of this. So to connect a Mac mini with a DVI to HDMI adapter you will also need an audio cable to run the audio from the mini's audio outport to an audio inport on the TV. This is why I refer you to the user guide for your unit, because it should point out the correct port to use on the TV, as well as point out if you have options for using analog or digital audio. The mini's audio ports can do both.

How can I connect my Early 2011" Macbook Pro 13" inch, with a generic Mini Display Port to HDMI connector, to a LG 32LD340 LCD TV, using Mountain Lion 10.8.2?

I have an Early 2011" macbook pro 13 inch (core i5 2.3ghz 4gb ram 320hdd) with Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and I want to connect it via Mini DP to HDMI connector, and a HDMI cable to a LCD TV LG 32LD340. When I had Lion OS, I had no problems at all.

If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

How to connect my macbook pro to lcd

When I was shopping to buy hardware I brought a mini display to dvi & a dvi cable. When I got home I realised my lcd does not have a dvi port. I brought a
DVI Female to VGA Male adapter & connected it to my lcd. But my macbook doesnt to connect to my lcd. I am using windows 7 & osx.

For a 2010+ MBP you can connect with a Displayport to HDMI, which will include Audio.
With older MBP you will need a displayport to HDMI, if you want audio to the actually TV, then you will need to get a cable with either digital out from MBP to the HDMI, or USB audio mixed into the HDMI

Mini-DVI to VGA - online video freezes when dragged from MacBook to LCD TV

I connected my MacBook to my LCD TV this morning via Mini-DVI to VGA, and am trying to stream online video. The video works fine when the browser is on my MacBook screen, but when I drag it over to the LCD TV, the video freezes. I tried setting the screens to mirrored as well, and the video wouldn't play (on either). I'm not really sure what else to try. Any help would be appreciated!

Try this...
With the TV connected, go into Displays Preferences and click on the Arrangement tab. You should see two blue rectangles meant to represent the two screens. One of the rectangles will have a white bar across the top, meant to represent the menu bar. Drag the small white bar from one blue rectangle to the other. This will move the real menu bar to the TV, making it the primary display. Now see if your video will play on the TV.

MacBook Mini-DVI to VGA - Samsung 32" LCD - Mode Not Supported

I followed the instructions on Apple's site to use the MacBook with the lid closed and an external LCD. It worked perfectly the first time I tried it. (I believe in 1920 x 1024). It seemed a little hard to read so I changed the Display resolution, then encountered the "Mode Not Supported" on my LCD. I unhooked and used my MacBook to change the settings back, but the MacBook seems to revert to the "Mode Not Supported" resolution when I close the lid. Any suggestions? Can I reset the Display Preferences on my MacBook?

I think this procedure should work, but it requires an external USB keyboard.
- Shut down the Mac.
- Have all the following connected:
- MacBook power supply
- External display
- USB keyboard and mouse
- Open the lid on the MacBook and hit the power button.
- Immediately close the lid on the MacBook and start holding down the Shift key on the USB keyboard.
- Release the Shift key once you see the spinning gear on the gray screen on the external display.
The above procedure should cause the Mac to start in Safe mode and hopefully will finish booting into a useable screen. If that is the case, go into Displays preferences and select a known working resolution different from the one the Mac started up in under Safe mode. Now restart normally. Hopefully the newly selected resolution will persist through the normal restart and you will have a working external screen again.

Macbook Mini-DVI to VGA... To 1080p LCD tv

I was interested in buying a new display for my macbook, using the miniDVI to vga.
Then i saw that new TV's have VGA ports on them to act as moniters, and thought.
42" TV... or 19" moniter... hmm
Currently i have the miniDVI to video cord so i can use my TV as an additional moniter when playin games etc.
But its not clear enough to play the games on that screen.. its good for some videos
But text and games its not good at all.
Is the Mini DVI to VGA a good port?
Would i be able to hook it up to a TV or if not a bigger moniter and have it as clear as the display attached to the laptop?
Macbook
2.0GHz
1GB ram
Vid card is just the old standard one when the black/white macbooks were still new.
Not the cool new ones with nice video cards

I have a 40 lcd tv and have my macbook hookuped to it using the mini display port to vga and it looks really good, but i only use it for watching movies. Dedicated monitors are still better for reading text or playing games

Mini-DVI to VGA cable... LCD TV has female input

I recently bought a mini-DVI to VGA adapter from an Apple store, to connect my MacBook with a broken screen to a UMC LCD TV. When it came to plugging the VGA end into the TV, I realised it has exactly the same connector (female I think) as the TV. This obviously means they will not connect, and I haven't been able to find a connector that will do the job. I was surprised to find that after a fair amount of searching no one else appears to have had this problem, so maybe I'm being stupid somewhere here. Thanks for help.

You need a VGA male-to-male cable to connect the Apple mini-DVI to VGA adapter to your LCD TV:
MacBook > Mini-DVI to VGA adapter > VGA male to male cable > LCD TV

Using LCD TV as Display

I have a 12-inch iBook G4, and I wanted to use my LCD screen as my display. I bought a Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter, when I connected it up the picture looked grainy. It looks like it wasn't scaled up just blown up (if you understand that). I can understand this because the computer isn't really sending a digital signal, just a video output signal (i don't think that makes any sense either). Is there any adapter that will make it look just as good as on my computer, or a setting i can change. Thanks in advance!

The problem is the way the iBooks are designed to output a secondary video signal. In most computers, attaching a secondary monitor gives you the option to either mirror your first display (ie, a copy) or extend your desktop (giving you twice the space for, say, icons).
iBooks, on the other hand, only have the ability to mirror. The ability to extend your desktop to the external monitor has been disabled in the firmware. This means that your iBook, essentially, sends the *exact same* video signal to both screens. What you see on your laptop screen is what you get on the LCD. Including resolution.
If I recall correctly, you can scale that image down, but not up. The grainy image your describing is the signal being, as you said, blown up by the monitor itself.
Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about this. There are ways of hacking this problem, but none of them are supported by Apple.

Laptop-mode-tools no longer adjusts LCD brightness

I just discovered that laptop-mode-tools no longer adjusts the brightness of the LCD when switched to battery. This is not a general issue. laptop-mode is active on battery (as well as being enabled via the systemd service), the computer knows it is on battery (checking with on_ac_power and reading from /sys/class/power_supply/*/* give the expected results) and other things are correctly adjusted e.g. bluetooth is blocked with rfkill. Moreover, as root I can adjust the brightness in the usual way by hand:
echo 10 >| /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
works just fine. The >| is needed because for interactive shell's, root's .bashrc sets noclobber. This obviously doesn't affect laptop-mode tools because it doesn't run an interactive shell. In contrast:
$ cat /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/lcd-brightness.conf | grep -v "^#"
DEBUG=1
CONTROL_BRIGHTNESS=1
BATT_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 7"
LM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 10"
NOLM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 12"
BRIGHTNESS_OUTPUT="/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness"
DEBUG wasn't 1 when the problem started. I tried setting it to get more info but haven't found anything more in the journal/logs.
KDE is set to not touch the default brightness at all. All it does is (further) dim the display after so many minutes depending on the power supply and status.
This did work fine but I haven't been on battery for a while so I'm not sure when exactly it stopped working. My brightness is set by default to 12 on boot or wake from sleep which suggests laptop-mode tools does something or something else is now handling this which I'm not aware of. But the switch to battery does not trigger any alteration in the brightness and laptop-mode status does not even mention LCD brightness as one of the things laptop-mode tools controls.
Have I missed a change in how this is handled somewhere?

I doubt this is related but it is currently my only lead so here goes. I set the LCD brightness control for debug so I've been trying to watch it. However, so far it is all smiles e.g. on boot it all works fine and says so.
However, I found I'm getting another error on boot which is
/usr/share/laptop-mode-tools/modules/pcie-aspm: line 10: write error: Operation not permitted
Note that I copied that by eye from VT1 so if a colon is out of place, that's why.
The contents of that file is:
#! /bin/sh
# Laptop mode tools module: PCIe Active State Power Management
if [ x$CONTROL_PCIE_ASPM = x1 ] || [ x$ENABLE_AUTO_MODULES = x1 -a x$CONTROL_PCIE_ASPM = xauto ]; then
if [ $ON_AC -eq 1 ]; then
log "VERBOSE" "On AC power: setting pcie_aspm to default"
if [ -f /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy ]; then
echo default > /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
log "VERBOSE" "PCIe ASPM set to 'default'"
else
log "VERBOSE" "PCIe ASPM tweaking is prohibited by the kernel"
fi
else
log "VERBOSE" "PCIe ASPM is not available"
fi
else
log "VERBOSE" "On battery: setting pcie_aspm to powersave"
if [ -f /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy ]; then
echo powersave > /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
log "VERBOSE" "PCIe ASPM set to 'powersave'"
else
log "VERBOSE" "PCIe ASPM tweaking is prohibited by the kernel"
fi
else
log "VERBOSE" "PCIe ASPM is not available"
fi
fi
else
log "VERBOSE" "PCIe ASPM power savings module is disabled"
fi
So I assume it is saying it cannot write to /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy but the permissions etc. on that, at least, don't look strange:
l /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Gor 25 21:24 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Gor 25 21:23 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.0K Gor 25 21:24 policy

I was told of an application that will allow the use of a second screen to view my data and files, but I forgot its name. I'd like to make the connection because my LCD is broken.

You don't need an application, just plug a compaitble monitor into the display port of your MacBook Pro, set the screen up in System Preferences>Displays

Satellite U400-10J - power is on but NO LCD dsiplay

Good day.
I have a new Toshiba Satellite U400-10J.
I did not turn it off after i use it and then when i get back it was hanged up so i decided to turn it off by pressing the power button in few seconds.
The next day when i decided to use my laptop again something occured that i don't understand.
My problem is;
When i turned ON the power button, the laptop runs but there was no display, i checked the fan and it runs for a while then stops after a few seconds. All other button has lights and the CD drive is running too.
What wonders me is that the hard disk led is not blinking or there's no light in it and why there was no LCD display?
Please, anyone can help me on this matter. I would really appreciate if you can give me your answer now.
Thank you very much.

To be honest I dont understand why this happened. Im owner of Satellite U400-10N and something like that never happened to me.
However, I read about some useful workarounds which could help you.
First of all remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor.
Then you have to wait Im not quite sure how long but I would recommend waiting for about 30-60min.
Then connect both devices and try to power up the notebook.
Check if this helps.
Bye and good luck

If I copy the "lcds" folder, Tomcat starts with socket errors

In the documentation it is said that when you create a new server-side application, you can start by copying the 'webapps/lcds' folder. I did that but then, Tomcat starts with some socket errors:
[LCDS]SocketServer 'my-rtmp-SocketServer' failed to pre-validate desired socket settings for BindSocketAddress: 0.0.0.0:2038
java.net.SocketException: Unrecognized Windows Sockets error: 0: JVM_Bind
[LCDS]SocketServer 'my-rtmp-SocketServer' failed to start.
flex.messaging.LocalizedException: SocketServer 'my-rtmp-SocketServer' cannot bind to accept client connections on port '2038' because another process has already bound the port. Please ensure that multiple endpoints across all applications are not configured to use this same port.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Borek

What is happening is that you are getting a port conflict for the socket-based NIO and RTMP endpoints used in the channel definitions in the services-config.xml file of your new web app. The issue is that you have endpoints bound to the same port in the LCDS web and in your new web app.
You can deal with this one of two ways:
Option 1: In that services-config.xml file, search on "RTMP" and "NIO" to find the channel definitions and change the port numbers to something slightly different than the ones used in the LCDS web app.
Options 2: Move the LCDS web app out of the picture so it doesn't get loaded, and just use a template for future web apps. If you aren't using it for any of your development, there is really no reason you have to load it.
I'll add a note about this to the documentation that talks about using the LCDS web app as a template.

17" LCD Cinema Display does not work on G4 Tower with ATI 9000

Hi,
I have a G4 Tower with the original AGP ATI Radeon 9000B video card. My friend gave me this unit just recently but not the original monitor. Well after he got his new 30" Cinema Display he gave me the original 17"LCD Cinema Display. I was so happy, plugged it into the card and fired up the CPU but nothing! just blank! It is not getting any power for the USB ports or anything. My buddy says the monitor was checked before I picked it up. I yanked the Video card out and put it back in, inside the CPU was clean as was the card, put it back together and still nothing. The VGA monitor I have is connected via adapter to the other input and works fine. I tried doing display settings and the Cinema is not even detected. Is the Video card fried on the digital side?
Do I need a new one?
Here is the info on the CPU:
Machine Model: Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics)
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.9)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 400 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 1.5 GB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
Serial Number: XB0120xxxxx
Any help wold be appreciated.

Hi MFG,
Welcome to the discussions.
The G4 AGP Graphics model originally shipped with an ATY Rage 128 graphics card. The ATI Radeon 9000 graphics card that is installed in your G4 is not the original card.
The ATI Radeon 9000 comes with a native ADC port (which you are trying to use). This port is only fully functional if the computer is ADC enabled. Your model of G4 is, unfortunately, not ADC enabled.
You can confirm this by opening the computer and having a look at the AGP slot (where the graphics card is installed). In ADC enabled Macs, there is an extra slot at one end of the AGP slot to accomodate an "extra leg" that the ADC graphics cards (such as the ATI 9000) have. This extra leg supplies the power and USB feed. You'll probably find this extra leg with no slot for it to go into.
What this means is that you are not getting power and USB feed through the ADC port to your display.
If you want to get the 17" ADC Apple LCD display working off this card (it's definitely the LCD display and not the CRT display, please confirm), you will need to use a DVI to ADC adaptor such as this one:
http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0111-DVAD
and run it off the DVI output.
You can run your VGA screen at the same time (if you want to) off the ADC output by using this adaptor:
http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0117-ADCV
This will work off the ADC port because, although the ADC port is not getting USB or power feed, it's still getting the DVI feed (which is what this adaptor needs).
Cheers!

FMIS vs LCDS for Real Time Messaging In Flex

A team that I am working with is launching development for a new Flex app. The app will have multiple text chat rooms and video chat too.
Since for video the architecture must include Flash Media Interactive Server (FMIS), the client assumes we will use FMIS for the text messaging.
My question is, for text chat what advantages does LiveCycle Data Services (LCDS) have over FMIS?
Does anyone here have experience with both that they can comment on? Can anyone provide links that might compare the pros and cons of LCDS vs FMIS? Or, dream come true, links providing comparisons of LCDS vs FMIS vs BlazeDS?
Any thoughts or assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks,

It sounds like you are changing the multiplier sometimes called the dX
on the graph scale. This changes how the graph is labeled, which is
sort of a unit or timescale change, but it doesn't affect the numeric
formatting of the scale. On the same dialog, as well as on the popup
are items for choosing scientific display or choosing digits after the
decimal to display, if that is what you are interested in seeing.
When you say you want to expand the waveform,
you might also want to
type into the min and max of the scale to view less data in the graph,
thus leaving more detail on what is viewed. This is effectively
zooming. If I still haven't guessed what it is you are trying to
change, please explain your problem again in more detail or post a VI.
As for choosing between a chart and a graph. The major difference is
that a chart shows the new data attached to older historical data. If
you are looking at individually sampled blocks of data, the graph is
what you want. If you want to look at a window on all of the data you
have gathered, a chart may work better. Also keep in mind that graphs
have cursors, charts do not. If your chart's data isn't a waveform,
then the X axis is simply samples and it tells the chart nothing about
phase.
