Macbook cannot get Samsung Syncmaster 710N to display

I'm trying to connect my macbook to my monitor but anything happens. At the beginning it showed the message "Not Optimal Mode. Use 1280x1024 @60Hz" but after changing the resolution it remains the problem. Is it a monitor problem?

Been poking around google and it seems that model is picky with the signal it receives.
These guys were able to fix the not optimal mode screen prompt by soldering in a resister onto a chip in the monitor.

That's a pretty extreme fix though. I'd try turning down the video settings. Maybe the monitor can't handle millions of colors (32-bit depth signal?)
1. Go to System Preferences > Displays
2. Set the colors drop-down menu to Thousands
3. Click OK if you get a warning message
If that doesn't work I'd try using a lower screen resolution. Hopefully this helps.

Connecting a macbook to a samsung syncmaster T220HD

I have recently bought a macbook and want to connect it to my samsung syncmaster T220HD. Does anyone know what type of adapter I would need to use?

Hi!
If you bought the late 2008 MacBook you need either a MiniDisplayport to VGA or MiniDisplayport to DVI adaptor.

I have a black dialog box on my display that I cannot get rid of. It displays text of whatever I am in, apps, docs, etc, and I have been unable to get rid of it.

I have a black dialog box on my display that I cannot get rid of. I was cleaning my keyboard and must have hit some combination of keys that caused it. It shows text announcing everything I open on the display or am looking at. Can anyone help me turn this off? Thanks.

HELP: MacBook cannot get IP from DHCP wired/wireless

Hi, everyone.
I recently bought a TP-LINK TL-WR340G route and added it into my home network.
My iBook and PCs are albe to connect to network and internet, but my MacBook even cannot get a IP from the DHCP. I tried both wired & wireless connection.
I've tried to give my MacBook a static IP address, after that it can ping to the gateway and other devices on the network, and the DNS is working fine. But the MacBook just cannot connect to internet.
My MacBook can connect to internet at my office and my relative's house.
Please help to fix the problem. Thanks a lot.

Cannot get new VOD page to display.

Hello I am trying to get the Vod service working and have
followed the documentation to a T but cannot get the page to stream
or work. I am using IIS 6 and have copied the sample vod folder and
renamed it modifed the fms.ini file and application.xml and put my
.flv file in the media folder. When I go to run it from the browser
and typing rtmp://localhost/vod2/campaign_manager_movie.flv I get
page cannot be displayed. I have tried different ways like
rtmp://localhost:1935/vod2/campaign_manager_movie.flv or using full
machine name but nothing seems to work.
If I go to the test Vod player Item and browse to the .flv
file it plays fine. Am I missing something here? I have tried to
stop and start the services (IIS, FMS) with no luck. I also tried
to go into the admin console and add the service just in case but
that didnt seem to help. I have checked the files to make sure I
didnt make a typo so I dont think that is it.
Many Thanks in advance for the help

From the URL:
rtmp://localhost:1935/vod2/campaign_manager_movie.flv
I guess that FMS is on the same machine where the browser has
opened the page from IIS. If it is not so, you can try putting the
IP address of the machine hosting the FMS in RTMP URL. apart from
it I don;t se any reason why VOD shouldn't play (except in case you
are trying to play H.264 file from older flash player (<
9.0.0.115)

Cannot get BI JDBC query to display results..

My connection to the Oracle DB works fine. The system check in Portal returns OK. The system alias is visible in VC. I can browse tables and views. I can use the BI integration wizard to set up a query, and I am also able to review the output (see the actual table rows) within the query configuration tool.
BUT - I can't get the data to be displayed in an output table. I have dragged a table from the output port of the BI query, the column names are what they should be. When deploying the model I get a warning: 'Element "BI query : "All Data : VC_test" is not in use'.
What am I doing wrong here?
Help MUCH appreciated!!

Using a Samsung SyncMaster 710N with a Macbook

Hi,
Is it possible to use a macbook with the monitor listed above? I would want to close the notebook and use my LCD monitor as the monitor for the machine and occasionally use it for a second screen.
Thanks for any help.

There is no reason to suppose that it wouldn't unless it has an unusual screen resolution.

Retina to Samsung Syncmaster monitor: NO DISPLAY

I have recently bought a Macbook 15" retina. I already had the Samsung monitor display. (syncmaster 2333HD).
But when I'm connecting them with the thunderbolt to HDMI converter, I get no display on my Samsung display, nothing.
The only thing I note, is that my macbooc's screen gives a blue flash when I pull out the cable (thunderbolt).
Can somebody please help me?
Thanks

I'm having the same problem.
Here's what's happening on my end:
Macbook Pro Retina 15" is suppose to 'Plug & Play' easily to Samsung 23" Monitor (syncmaster 2333) using thunderbolt to DVI cable.
This monitor only offers a DVI and VGA ports.
Also, tried using the rMBP's HDMI cable to HDMI-DVI adapter in the Samsung monitor. (same symptoms as with other cable)
rMBP's screen shows blue for a moment when the cable is removed or connected from computer port then goes back to normal screen.
Samsung Moniter's blue power light on the bottom edge of the screen blinks at 1 sec intervals (so power isn't an issue)
After pressing the "Menu" button on the side of the monitor a "test good" message displays in the top left corner for a moment then goes blank. (actual monitor menu does not show)
After pressing the 4th button from the top (looks like a back arrow or return arrow icon) it seems to switch from digital to analog (I think) and a floating message displays "Check Signal Cable" with a red, green, and blue box and "Analog" in the floating box. During this the monitor's blue power light on the edge of the screen is a steady solid blue not blinking anymore.
System Preferences Display doesn't show any indication of sensing another monitor is connected.
I have tried to connect to a Samsung 46" HDTV via HDMI to HDMI port and that works wonderfully yet isn't practical for my desk set up. Just glad to know that something actually worked and I'm not cursed.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Would really like to use this 2nd monitor. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I hope I gave enough details.
Thank you in advance!

Macbook Pro Retina Samsung vs. LG display

I've been reading posts with people talking about the Macbook Pro Retinas coming with either Samsung or LG displays and have heard that the majority of LG displays are faulty while the Samsung versions are perfect. What is the deal with that?
I ordered my Macbook Pro Retina on Aug. 10 and am wondering if Apple already fixed this issue and might be shipping only Samsung models? or is it still 50/50 chance of getting either LG or Samsung?
I know I'm not the only one spending a ton of money on this machine but it doesn't seem fair that someone people get the faulty LGs and others get the Samsung. Has anyone tried calling Apple and seeing if they can request the Samsung version? not sure if that's possible but maybe worth a shot?
Thanks!

So are the macbook pro retina early 2013 version with LG panel having IR issue?
Mine hasn't yet but time may tell. At the same time I asked a question on the endless IR thread and never got an answer: to what extent is how the rMBP being used driving image retention?
I'm sure there are other variables but the one that comes to mind first is how bright is the screen run? I would imagine that a monitor set to full brightness (as one user who complained about IR did) would accelerate any tendency toward IR and the closer to "full-on" it's set, the sooner that would happen. I have mine set to "5" of the available range and for the first week, I ran the Image Retention Test in all its variations repeatedly without a hint of IR. We also don't know whether the LG at full brightness can illuminate an auditorium while the Samsung can only light up a room or vice-versa.
Other variables could be: is the screen saver used; how long before it kicks in; is the rMBP the only computer so it's used constantly; is it ever powered off or is the monitor just allowed to sleep?
Based on those thousands of posts, the original LG's appear to be more prone to IR than the Samsung, but there hasn't been the same flood of complaints with the LG SJA2's, at least not yet. At the same time, there hasn't been any attention I could find about contributing factors either.
And notably, way back when the Samsung started to be the Holy Grail, I don't remember complaints about color problems; that seems to have cropped up recently.

Cannot get Samsung ML1740 to print wirelessly

Hi everyone,
Am new to the Apple. I have a Dell PC running Vista with my Samsung ML1740 printer attached via USB. I have a router and wireless network. I have a MacBook Pro and would like to be able to print wirelessly through my network. Right now I can print if I use the USB port. How can I go about doing this? If you can walk me through the process it will be appreciated.

The following is several steps you can follow. Note that I have made the assumption that you already have your MacBook Pro connected via wireless to the same network as the Dell. If this is not the case then please reply.
First thing you will need to do is share the printer in Vista and keep the share name to something short and preferably without spaces, such as ML1740. You should also check that the Guest account is enabled, as you will be asked to authenticate when you connect to the share from the Mac.
With the printer shared you can then open System Preferences > Print & Fax on the Mac and click the + to add a queue. With the new window that appears you will see several icons, such as Default, Fax, IP and Windows. Select the Windows icon. This will show a window with three columns. The first column will show the workgroup names of the computers on the same network as the Mac. If you don't see any workgroup names then you don't have the Mac on the same network as the Dell. If you do see the workgroup name then select it and this will show the Dell computer name in the next column. When you select the Dell's name you will get prompted to authenticate. Select Guest and OK. This should now make the shared name appear in the third column. Select this and see what the Print Using menu does. This could be the last problem as many vendors printer drivers are written for direct connections only - not for connecting via Windows shares. So if you do select the ML1740 in the Print Using menu but find you cannot print then the problem is most likely due to the driver. See how you go with the above and if you get stuck at any point then please reply.

Networking issue with new Macbook - cannot get IP address from DHCP router

Hello all, I've seen this problem posted a few times and been having the same problem with my new aluminum MacBook. Here's the story:
When connecting to my network at home, I get the message "Airport has a self-assigned IP and may not be able to connect to the internet." I've been able to connect a few times, but anytime it sleeps or I shut down I have the same problem. When I'm out and about, it has no problem connecting to other networks.
On the network in which I cannot connect, there are 2 other macs and two PCs that do NOT have any problem connecting. Macs are all running 10.5.5.
Router in a 2Wire and uses DHCP. ISP is AT&T.
I've tried rebooting the router, manually assigned an IP address, restarting, updating software. Nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? This is kinda making me crazy.

I've also tried:
1) Creating a new location in network prefs.
2) Zapping PRAM
3) rebooting router many time.
4) putting a $ in front of the hex password
5) deleting all of the plists that I've seen recommended.
6) Starting in safe mode
7) Renewing IP
8) Shutting off firewall

I cannot get a pdf link to display correctly with version 4.0.1. How can I go bak to previous version? This appears to be a browser problem that does not occur for IE9.

When I click on a link to a pdf file (in an email message) using Windows Live Mail, Firefox 4.0.1 opens it as a shortcut and treats it as a pdf app. I can read the pdf file, but cannot save or print it. This is not the case if I use IE9. There never was a problem using the previous version of Firefox. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.
