MacMini and 2 Dell U3011

Does new MacMini supports two Dell U3011 or Apple LED Cinema Displaies

That happens simultaneously i hoppe...
Does Thunderbolt runs Dell with 2560x1600 resolution, or displayport does it so?
What happens with HDMI and the second Dell? Does HDMI support 2560x1600 or just 1080p?

PS CS6 10bit with Quadro K4000 and 30" Dell U3011. My experiences...

Hello everyone. I had searched quite extensively when looking into a solution for my color banding on an ancient Apple 30" cinema display which was on it's last leg. That search led me to 10bit and it's surprisingly obscure implementation in PS. Allow me to share my experiences so others doing google searches can potentially be helped, and also pose a few questions that Nvidia could not answer for me.
First, I am running Windows 7 x64, latest drivers/patches on everything. Everything includes:
PNY Quadro K4000
Dell U3011 via Displayport
Windows 7 x64
Photoshop CS6 x64
2560 x 1600 Desktop resolution
So the long story here is that I did not think my combination was working. I tried the ramp.psd from AMDs website, and saw absolutely no change. Frustrated, I hit the internet, and unfortunately, found a plethora of AMD/ATI based help, but very very little Nvidia Quadro support, msot likely due to their "it just works" mentality (http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3049/~/how-to-enable-30-bit-color-on-wi ndows-platforms). The help files say that the Quadro and PS will just detect the ability to use 10bit color depth and use it, but there is no way to confirm that that combination is in fact compatible without actually seeing the result. No screen overlays, no checkboxes in the driver (as far as confirmation goes). You can force 10bit in the quadro driver, but that doesn't tell you it's actually working.
So I got on the live support with a helpful tech from Nvidia and eventually got to the bottom of it. Things I learned:
- with Photoshop maximized at 2560 x 1600, 10bit did NOT work with any of the flyout panels open. This was the number one hair-puller, and why I thought this was not working at all the entire time. I had my history panel out. At some point while chatting with the Nvidia rep I decided to take photoshop off of full screen so I could see both PS and the chat window at the same time. The PS window then occupied maybe 70% of the screenspace and poof.. the bands disappeared. I slowly drag the corner of the screen out to make it larger and at some point the bands pop back in. Odd. So I maximize but close the flyout history panel and poof, bands disappear. If I'm fullscreen and hit tab to hide shelves and panels, smooth as butter as well. The Nvidia rep summized that it had to do with OpenGL overlays interfering, but had nothing to offer in the way of the resolution/screen size issue.
So I either have to view 10bit as a toggle, or not use my pallets as flyouts in the main PS window, or not maximize PS.
So, I'm sure there are other people running this combo, so I'd love to hear your results. ATI/AMD cards are clearly a different driver set, and thus, probably totally different results. Nvidia claims there is NO resolution limit to 10bit written into their driver, so the resolution being the problem did not make sense to them. That laid the blame purely on Photoshop. I'd love to hear from Adobe on the matter.
In any case, hopefully this helps someone struggling as to why they see no difference on that gradient image. It is literally night and day, so if you aren't seeing that "pop," it's just not working.
I must say that, as I've read in countless other posts, in actual photos, this 10bit can be a very minimal improvement, but it is noticeable in some of my shots where I have color grads on skintones. The red burn is gone, and it's a much smoother transition. This is insanely evident in purely CG created gradients or gausian blurred overlays, however. I have a few CG-assisted background hotspots with the addition of a gausian blurred screen of white, and it has helped that quite a bit.
I, for one, welcome out 10bit overlords. Hope this helps someone.
Cheers

"Have you tried disabling desktop composition (Aero Glass)? I have heard there can be conflicts there that prevent drivers from enabling full 30 bit color."
This is disabled automatically by the Quadro driver the second you turn on the Deep Color option. And no, as someone who uses his machine for production moreso than pleasure, I immediately turn all that stuff off anyways as it's useless.
I will test that file after work tonight when I get home. No 10bit here. Irony.
Thanks. I'll also try to make a video/animated gif of sorts to illustrate the difference to your naked eye. I was also quite clueless as to the "real world" implications when I started looking into this, as all you really find are generated gradients, which seem doctored at times. Seeing the pop happen with your own eyes is quite interesting, and a definite selling feature.
Oh, also, I will add that I previously ordered the new U2713H from Dell, and I was 100% disssatisfied with the backlight bleed, as well as the color representation and quality control. Mine had a very terribly noticeable yellow color bleed in the lower left. I found this to be a regular occurance for these newer LED backlit monitors, and ultimately returned it and went with the older CCFL U3011. It is far superior IMO and only slightly more expensive. Highly recommended. This forum posting swayed my ultimate decision away from the U3014: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1751499

FIX for Dell U3011 displaying YPbPr instead of RGB via display port

I kind of hacked my way around and got my Dell U3011 to properly display RGB instead of YPbPr (or YCbCr) over a mini display port to display port cable for my MacBook Pro Retina 15"! WOOHOO! no need for that stupid $150 dual link dvi to mini displayport adapter anymore, which was incredibly flakey and sometimes the monitor turned on, and sometimes it didn't etc... lots of problems.
Download the file from:
http://www.8mmdesign.com/u3011-rgb-ypbpr-fix/DisplayVendorID-10ac.zip
unzip into:
/System/Library/Displays/Overrides
It will create a new directory called:
/System/Library/Displays/Overrides/DisplayVendorID-10ac
Then reboot the system, and it should work. Go to system preferences, displays, color, and set the display profile to Color LCD.
This will *ONLY* work for the Dell u3011 and it is completely UNTESTED. Use at your OWN RISK. But you should have proper RGB colors after doing this.
Good luck!

This post helped me: http://ireckon.net/2013/03/force-rgb-mode-in-mac-os-x-to-fix-the-picture-quality -of-an-external-monitor
I have an Onkyo AV Receiver TX-NR414, I'm using the HDMI passthru (connecting Mac to AVR, then AVR to TV) and my Macs where giving bad colors.
Connecting the Mac directly to the TV was ok.
So the problem was the need to force the Mac to output RGB, the above linked blog post has a link to a Ruby script that will create a profile with RGB output. Follow the instructions and it will get it right.

Dell u3011 intermitently goes black

Hi, I have the latest MBP up to date and I am using a Dell u3011.
The screen works fine until it goes black (the LED remains blue, it does not go to sleep) then either it will come back on after a couple of seconds or it does not come back on at all
Then I have to turn the screen off and on and wake the mac up again.
I am mostly using the Macbook in clamshell mode but I sometime leave it open it behaves the same.
At first I was using the crazy expensive Dual DVI cable from Apple Store, then a friend of mine put me on to MDP to DP port and that worked well for a while but now it's back to the same.
I have good days where I can work for a few hours and bad days where it drives me crazy, doing it up to 10 times in 15 minutes. This is my second monitor and they both had the same issue.
does anyone has the same issue? Rather anyone had the same issue?
your help is appreciated, it seems it happens more frequently as my workload increases .

Hi all,
I did manage to solve this problem, however I am not entirely satisfied that this is what fixed it.
we used to have a hard drive (for time machine), a mouse, an iphone cable/docking station plugged at the back of the screen.
It turns out that as soon as I stopped using the usb ports at the back of the monitor, the issue disappeared.
Maybe I had a bad usb from the mac to the monitor ? I was using one that was pretty think and I'm pretty sure it came with the monitor.
I do not know if it is a coincidence, I did not re-plug everything back in to see if the problems would come back, I do not want to jinx it.
I ended up buying a powered usb board on ebay and I'm using that for the ever growing usb devices on the desk.
I hope this will help someone out there.

RMBP in Mavericks won't put Dell U3011 to sleep

I have a Dell U3011 screen which is connected to the system using DP. For some reason the screen won't turn off when the system goes to sleep. It acts as if the cable has been unplugged when this happens. So I'm wondering if there is a way to get it to sleep when the computer is asleep?

Hmm, looks like I was lying I'm no longer using the original DP cable, I broke the adapter that I had when moving to a different office. At the moment I'm using:
http://www.dx.com/p/cy-dp-017-mini-displayport-male-to-displayport-data-cable-fo r-macbook-more-white-180cm-177514#.U3UOYVgxImM
It's pretty OK, works 100% but it's isn't shielded that well. Sometimes when I stand up from my desk chair the screen goes blank for a fraction of a second, I guess because of the static electricity. Not a big deal because I'm usually not looking at my screen when I'm leaving my desk, just a small nuisance.
I also tried this one but that one is crap IIRC:
http://www.allekabels.nl/na/0/1076161/minidisplayport-naar-hdmi-adapter.html
(and quite a bit more expensive but I needed something fast at that time).

2560x1600 via HDMI? Dell U3011 monitor.

Connected my new Macbook 12 Retina to my Dell U3011 (30" 2560x1600 native) via the Apple USB-C Digital AV adapter and HDMI. The max resolution I can set is 1920x1200. On the display settings page on my Macbook, it's set to 60hz and there's no option to lower it to 30hz. Any ideas?

Bravo! It never occurred to me to try HDMI to DVI. It works! I got 2560x1600 at 60Hz via HDMI to DVI (single-link).
So, in summary...
via HDMI - max 1920x1200 60hz
via HDMI to DP - does not work
via HDMI to DVI - max 2560x1600 60hz

No audio T520 displayport Dell U3011

Hi,
I've connected my T520 to Dell U3011 30" through a DisplayPort cable, using discrete graphics.
I'm not able to get audio from the monitor.
From Sound Settings, I can see Dell U3011 (4-High Definition audio device is enabled), and also can see the bars moving when I play any audio.
I also checked the Dell U3011, and the audio is set to 2.0.
Ccould you please give your comments/suggestions?
Thanks1

There are a number of threads gone on the Display port and DP to HDMI adapter.

USB Hub in Dell U3011 not working over Mini-DisplayPort(Thunderbolt) when it did with previous MBP

My previous MBP, a few years ago - the first generation with Thunderbolt - was able to generate a USB connection over Mini-DisplayPort with my Dell U3011. My late 2013 MBP is able to send display and audio, but seems unable to detect the USB hub in the monitor. I am on 10.9.4. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I turns out that the logic board of my MacBook Pro was faulty (despite being brand new).
I took it to the Apple Store, presented the problem, and one of the Tech's came to the same conclusion that I had -- hardware failure. Phone support was no help in the matter (and even told me that what I was trying to do wasn't a supported option, which is rediculous). However, the Genius Bar did take care of the problem, and my MacBook Pro was back to me with a replaced logic board within a few days.
Hope that htis helps.

MDT 2013, Deploying Windows 8.1 on Surface and Dell Venue Tablets

I'm having numerous issues with Capturing Images and Deploying to Windows 8.1 Tablets. We are currently using Surface Pro 1, 2, and Dell Venue 11 Pro tablets. I am using a Windows Server 2012 computer with MDT 2013 installed. I can't get the tablets
to:
1-sysprep and capture using MDT 2013
2-Deploy a Task Sequence with a WIM and other applications attached. (I've tried using the simple standard task seq option with no luck)
3-I found another way to get a WIM (using imagex) but when i deploy task sequence it ignores my selection of applications to install outside the WIM and only installs the WIM (WIM 14gb = Win 8.1 Ent, Office 2013 x32, MS Updates)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Everything is being performed within the LAN and with USB 2.0 thumbdrives for media.

Hi altimav8,
Are you trying to find out how to deploy Surface Pro method? Before capture the Surface pro image please download the latest drivers for the surface and made sure that they
were the only drivers that were going to be deployed. There have a specific MDT deploy support forum more about the MDT deploy related issue you can ask in MDT support forum.

Macbook (late 08) 13.3" -- miniDV to DVI adapter and Dell 24" 2405 FSP Flat

All
Just purchased a Macbook 13.3" and bought the miniDV to DVI adapter for my 24" Dell 2405 FSP. For whatever reason, I cannot get system prefs to "detect display".
I am not sure if the cable is broken out of package or there is a problem with this adapter in general. I am trying to use the cable to view OS/X and XP Home via Bootcamp on large screen while Macbook is in clamshell (closed) mode.
Seems like a lot of people are having issues but I don't know what to do. It seems the cables from Apple vary by model and worse, appear to be lower quality than most would expect. Any thoughts on commands or steps to try and diagnose. Or should I buy the miniDV to VGA adapter for the Dell flatscreen?

Update to this issue.
1. Friend brought his Macbook Pro 17" with full DVI adapter to my Dell 2405 FPW -- he has same 24" flatscreen. It works -- so monitor is fine.
2. I went to Apple Store and REPLACED miniDV to DVI adapter to my monitor. No response. Not registering at all. But when friend hooked his Macbook with adapter, the screen came on.
Assumptions:
1. Macbook 13.3" aluminum port is damaged -- will go to Apple to confirm
2. Odds of two adapter cables not working - highly slim (got from two different stores if we want to shake the odds a bit more based on batch shipments
It appears that the port is NOT compatible with this monitor OR the cable quality is so bad that I have to go through a bunch of them.
Last option - miniDV to VGA adapter to my Dell monitor to see if that works. But it is one of two options -- from my perspective:
1. Monitor/port incompatibility
2. Bad cables
I even tried XP Home Edition under Bootcamp with the adapter and monitor did not display.
What's disappointing in all of this is Apple tech support told me to download "drivers" from Dell's site -- and puzzled, I asked if Dell was supporting Mac computers because OS/X did not have drivers for this monitor and Dell only has it themselves - they emailed me download links (which is convenient) but it was clear that she doesn't know what she was doing -- the links were XP and Vista only.
Sigh...Rev A Macbook. Will probably need Apple to work on this issue.

I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account. How do I do this ?

I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro (which belonged to them) to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account. How do I do this ? And is there any danger, in doing so, that I might delete any of her ICloud information ?

Sign out in System Preferences>iCloud. This will remove any synced data such as Calendars, emails and Contacts from your Mac, but will have no effect on the data on the server - so that other devices logged into it will continue to see the data.

I tried to set up a remote desktop between my macmini and my work computer. I hit cancel and now the Remote Desktop will not close. I cannot shut down my computer either. How do you close a non-responsive application. I have tried everything!

I tried to set up a remote desktop connection between my MacMini and my work computer. It was not working so I hit cancel, but then the big black screen of death came up and will not go a way. I cannot close my computer nor quit the remote desktop connection. How do you close a non-responsive application? By the way, I am new to Mac and it is not as simple as hitting the Control, Alt, Delete. Please help.

Try ( alt + cmd + esc ). Gives you a menu of running applications, and a chance to "Force Quit".

Setting up new printer with MacBook Pro AND Dell?

Need a printer, want an AIO, any work better than others with MacBook and Dell? Purchased a HP Officejet 6500A Plus, any problems using both systems togehter? Also, should I set up the Dell first then the Mac, or viceversa?

Thanks for the help, I'm definitely getting there
I changed the settings as you've described and can now print from my MBP. The 3 Dell laptops are another matter. Would you have any idea what the IP address of the printer would be? Or the AirPort Extreme? I'm following this tutorial:
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1004.html
without much success but I'm really guessing at the IP address. I've tried 192.168.1.1 (my router) and 192.168.1.101 (the IPv4 address) with no luck. I suspect it's the IP address that's the problem ...
Any thoughts?
Thanks
