MacbookPro Retina how to use NVIDIA display

How to do I use NVIDIA display for my MBP Retina 15"?
I tried Apple -> About this Mac -> More Info -> Display and I am unable to select NVIDIA display, only the Intel HD display shown.
Please help what should I do?

The NVIDiA card will kick in as needed. To get an idea of when it's in use, download and install Cody Krieger's gfxCardStatus - it will let you know which GPU is being used at a given time and which apps or hardware are dependent on the NVIDIA GPU.
Good luck,
Clinton

  • How to use the DISPLAY RECORD Setup Command in an etext file?

    Hi All,
    How to use the DISPLAY RECORD Setup Command in an etext file?
    I want to display a <NEW RECORD> conditionally. The condition will be based on the data coming through from the xml file.
    Please help me with an example. The BI User guide also doesnt show any examples.
    Your help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    You can use vb coding in BEx Analyser to calculate your unit price. For this you have to first display the attributes of your object "XYZ". Then you can use VB cosing to calculate the value for the unit price field.
    One more thing cna you clarify whether is it display attribute or variable ?

  • Using nvidia display adapter sted integrated graphics with onlocation

    Posted this yesterday and thought it was going into the Onlocation forum, but it showed up in the Premiere Pro forum.  Looks like all Onlocation posts are being directed to Premiere Pro forum.  The most recent posts to the Onlocation forum are a month old.  Maybe my mistake, I'm posting this again.  The top of my screen shows "Adobe Community>Premiere Pro>OnLocation:  Start a New Discussion in OnLocation.
    INITIAL POST:
    I'm attempting to ensure that Onlocation CS5 uses the fastest display adapter on my laptop.  I have a Lenovo laptop with an i7 processor running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.  Under the Device Manager my listed display adapters include the integrated Intel(R) HD Graphics Family, and an Nvidia NWS 4200M card I bought to get the best possible performance when recording video with Onlocation.  I've read about using the Nvidia display panel to select the higher power Nvida display under MANAGE 3D Graphics:  Global Settings.  The choices are: 1 Auto Select.  2. HIgh Performance Nvidia Processor.  3. Integrated Graphics.
    I understand Auto Select is a battery saving device so the higher powered graphics card doesn't engage until it is needed.
    But...it seems as though this only anticipates the Nvidia card would be used for 3D gaming.   When I switch to "Program Settings" to add a program to the list that will always use the higher powered processor, Photoshop and Premiere and Encore are options, but On Location is not.
    In this situation, is Onlocation using the Nvidia processor or the built in graphics card?
    Should I use the BIOS setup to change the display adapter to nvidia?
    Or is there no advantage to switching to the Nvidia display because Onlocation is a two diminsional program?
    ADDITIONAL INFO:  I looked at my computer's BIOS and it looks like it's set to use the integrated graphics unless more display power is required, when it shifts to the invida card.  But I'd appreciate anyone with more knowledge about this weighing in.  Hate to think I spent more for an nvidia card if it's not being used.

    Are you sure you don't have some process to clear the session state before the DML operation.
    I just did to check:
    create table hosts (id NUMBER, usern varchar2(200), passw varchar2(200));
    create new page -> Form -> specify the table to create form on
    change password item from text to password
    test -> no problem.

  • How to use second display as primary display?

    Mac (20-inch Late 2006) 10.4 seems to have burned out its LCD screen (at least I think it did). The screen is dark but not 100% black. In any case, I cannot see anything on the screen.
    I plugged in a second monitor and the second monitor shows my background image, but in extended desktop mode.
    Is there a way to make it the primary monitor when I can't see any menu or dock items? I guess that is called mirror?
    I have tried F7 and cmd-F1 and resetting the PRAM did not help.

    Thanks to both posters for suggestions. Resetting the PRAM didn't work. Turning on voice over was useful and I was able to login with some guess work (of course, I had to remember which of 5 accounts I was defaulted to, but that only took a few tries). Once logged in, the dock was on attached monitor because I keep it on the right side. Not sure what would have happened if I had it at the bottom. Of course all windows opened on the imac monitor so I had to remember that I could get the system preferences to show me its options by command clicking on the doc icon. From there it was relatively easy to turn mirroring on once I could see the dialog box. Shutting down and rebooting into other accounts has kept the mirroring on. Now the only down side is that instead of looking at an imac, I have to look a few inches in front of it at an ugly Dell monitor. But at least I can keep the folks who use this computer working! thanks again.

  • Is a refurbished MacbookPro retina display as good as a new one?

    Is a refurbished MacbookPro retina display as good as a new one? No scratches?

    I surely appreciate your answers. I fully agree that anything can happen anytime and it is a matter of chances after all. The most important thing seems to me how to reduce the chances of having troubles with the notebook.
    1. My first answer would be: Apple Care protection plan (almost 350$ for a 15” retina), but this means for you ho live in the US where the equipment was bought 2 years of warranty extended for another year and for us who live overseas the same 3 years (one year international warranty plus 2 years of protection by the Apple Care).
    2.  Buying new seems to be safer. It's a pitty there are no sites about reliability as for cars (TrueDelta comes into my mind right now).
    3. I wonder about some mistakes we as owners could make, such as using it after exposure  to cold temperatures, humid or dusty environments, recharging before a significant drop of power, dropping it because of the very slippery aluminum case, etc.

  • How do you use multiple displays with a MacBook Pro and iMac

    I have an iMac and a MacbookPro laptop both upgraded to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks).  I'd like to use multiple displays with them.  Can I do this without an Apple TV?  They are both on the same network.  If I can, can someone please give some instructions on how this can be done?
    Thanks!

    Both computers have ports for external monitors. Check your user manuals. Only one display can be added to the MBP, but newer iMacs have dual Thunderbolt ports.
    Do your own Google research to learn what to do, but reading your manuals should be all you really need. It' not rocket science yet.

    if I charge 100% battery I would to khon how many hour for using mac book retina? I use Hard dish 750 gb Ram 16 mb.

    It depends on the uses you give to your computer, because the battery will have capacity for less time if you are using professional apps than using Safari. Theoretically, the MacBook Pro with Retina display battery should have capacity for 7 hours, but as I said, this will decrease depending on the apps

    Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper. Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components. Never install such junk on a Mac.
    If you actually used MacKeeper to alter your system, e.g. "remove excess binaries" or such, you will need to reinstall OS X as well as all your additional software. Uninstalling MacKeeper is insufficient to reverse the corruption it is capable of - once again, that is if you used it.
    If you merely installed MacKeeper but did not use it to perform any particular action, the following instructions will suffice.
    If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
    Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
    Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
    Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
    You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
    You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
    Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
    After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.
    May I suggest that you review the following setting in System Preferences?
    Although you may easily override that setting, it will serve to protect you from inadvertently installing garbage. The overwhelming majority of Macs I come across have the MacKeeper installer file already present in their Downloads folder, often multiple copies of it. The downloaded file itself can do nothing until it is opened and installed, and the above setting (known as Gatekeeper - not to be confused with MacKeeper) will prevent that from occurring.
    I wanted to know how to use my macbook retina to the best of its potential.
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • How many 3rd party displays can be connected to MBP retina 15"

    I was just wondering how many 3rd party displays can be connected to the MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15" and 16GBs of ram. I have contacted the Apple Online Chat and every time I get a different awnser. I know that there are 2 Thunderbolt ports and a HDMI port on the machine. Can someone help me please?
    Thanks,
    Jayden

    Near all screens. You can use the HDMI port to connect the MacBook Pro with Retina display to a HDMI screen, but you have got Thunderbolt.
    Thunderbolt is compatible with Mini DisplayPort, so you can use Mini DisplayPort adapters to connect your MacBook to a DVI or VGA screen too
