MBP Connected to HDTV Problem
Last night I connected my MBP to my HDTV (37" Toshiba Regza)and was really impressed with the movie quality with iTunes. Anyway, after I disconnected the laptop I noticed the picture on my HDTV was really stretched (even in native format). I had to completely reset my TV to fix the problem. Did my MBP adjust the aspect on my TV? I tried every which way through the TV to adjust tha aspect but I could not fix the problem. Now, the TV stations are okay but the Guide function on my HD tuner looks out of whack (Has vertical borders).
Any thoughts?
Never heard of such a thing before but I guess that doesn't mean it didn't happen this time. There is really no way for a Mac to send control signals to a display, except maybe via something called DDCci which I don't think the Mac supports. And even if it did, I'd be surprised if your Regaza responded to DDCci control signals. You might want to check your Toshiba's manual to see if there is any mention of it.

IMovie editing slow while MBP connected to Plasma Screen
Am newbie to MBP and iMovie
I am using the MBP connected to the 42 inch Plasma screen. I am getting frequent and prolonged spinning ball while editing in iMovie.
The raw DV footage is stored on Glyph EHD connected to MBP by FireWire 800 cable.
Is the slow functionality and frequent appearance of spinning ball due to connection to Plasma screen ? Is it because the MBP is slowly accumulating more and more footage while building the movie project in iMovie on the MBP hard drive ?
There should be no accumulation of DV files on the MBP hard drive until which time as I decide to burn the movie. Yes, No ?
What sort of interface or accelorator is available for install between MBP and Plasma to overcome this problem since this is a great way to edit.
ThanksThat's not good. Were you barefoot and on a concrete floor? Or touching something else with the hand that wasn't touching the Mac?
It sounds like there could be mis-wiring in the walls...like a crisscross of neutral and ground. You might invest in one of those inexpensive house wiring detectors that they sell at hardware stores and see if it shows a fault when plugged into the same outlet where the TV plugs in. -
When I try to use FT on my MBP, connected to a 24" display, and close the shell, the display camera says it is not turned on. With the MBP open, FT works fine. I have looked and looked for a solution. Can someone help? Thanks
Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

Upgrade 10 Mbps connection to 100 Mbps
I replaced my old PC (pentium 4) with a new PC (quad core) in my network (Xbox360 (wired), Wii (wireless), Laptop (wireless) and this PC (wired) on a WRTP54G Voip Router). With my old PC I had no problems, but now I get the message network cable not connected on my new PC. The solution is to reduce my speed from the 1GB Nvidia LAN to 10Mbps full duplex instead of automatic (100 Mbps didn't work). Now it connects to my router, network and internet with 10 Mbps, but this connection is too slow for my network. When I connect my laptop directly with the PC I will get a 100 Mbps connection. And when I connect my Laptop to the router with the same cable as the PC, I also get a 100 Mbps connection.
Can someone explain the difference between half duplex and full duplex speed?
Is there a solution to get the connection to 100 Mbps?
Message Edited by 2J on 07-07-2008 06:03 AMFull Duplex = your NIC can send and receive data at the same time. A telephone is an example of full duplex, both parties can talk/here at the same time.
Half Duplex = your NIC will either send or receive data but will not do both at the same time. A walkie talkie is an example of Half-Duplex, only one person can transmit at a time.
Sorry I do not deal with the gaming part at all, so I do not have a solution, however if I come across an answer I will certainly post it.
Good Luck,

Broadband connection and speed problems
Hi,
On Wednesday morning my broadband connection went down and could not reconnect from 600am til 700pm. It did manage to get a connection to stay up at around 900pm, but since then the connection has dropped about four times a day.
I have checked my equipment, wiring etc, connected directly to the test socket, using a new ADSL microfilter etc etc. I have also checked for known problems in my area and have done some quiet call tests(17070).
There are apparently no problems in my area, but a couple of the quiet call tests were crackly.
Since last night (Friday) at around 900pm the connection has managed to stay up but my connection speeds, both up and down are much much lower than they used to be.
Since Wednesday night I have performed some BT speedtests.
D/L Profile for my line is - 17.64 Mbps, but actual speed currently varies between around 8 and 11 Mbps.
U/L Profile for my line is - 0.83 Mbps, but speed currenty varies between 0.01 and 0.3 Mbps.
Before Wednesday, my download speeds were typically 16-17Mbps and upload speeds were typically 0.8Mbps.
With very little variation.
I have included some stats from my BT HH3...
Wednesday nights ADSL Line status, after I managed to get a connection to stay up. below;
ADSL Line Status

Current ADSL line status. After the line being up for 17 hours below;
ADSL Line Status

Line state: Connected
Connection time: 0 days, 17:17:36

HEC Events (Down/Up): 636 / 9
Error Seconds (Local/Remote): 117 / 4
One thing that stands out is the Noise Margin of 4.9dB and now 3.2dB. I gather that these values are on the low side. Is 3.2dB acceptable?
I assume my line attenuation values are low as I live very close to my local exchange. I assume that these values are good.
There are some CRC HEC and Error Seconds values. I must admit that I dont fully understand these but I assume these are not good.
One other thing worth mentioning is that the phone cable to my property comes along my front wall over from a neighbouring property. Whilst checking this cable this morning in the daylight, I have noticed that someone, most probably my neighbour, has pulled the cable way from its fixing on the wall in order to put a fence post up on the wall.
The fence post has been there for a few months, with no apparent affect ro my phone and broadband, but I'm concerned that this could have damaged the cable, splitting the shielding or breaking a wire in the cable, or perhaps loosened the connectors to the juntion box it is connected to on the neighbours wall.
Could damage to the cable be the cause of my connection and speed problems?
Also, is it possible that my BTHH3 is faulty?
Any advice would be very welcome.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.A little more information.
I have noticed that on a number of occasions when making or receiving voice calls, the broadband connection completely drops. It doesnt happen on all calls, and doesnt seem to happen when just going 'offhook' and listening to a dialling tone.
There is a definite crackle and hiss on most of the voice calls. But only seems to be audible on the home phone.
After a little browsing, I came upon a logging program "Routerstatshub". When I leave this running it logs changes to ADSL stats.
Looking at the logs, I've noticed that when making voice calls, the upstream noise margin always seems to drop considerably, sometimes down to 0dB.
On some calls, both upstream and downstream noise margin drop to 0dB and the broadband connection drops.
I have also noticed that upstream line attenuation increases from around 5dB to around 28dB every hour or so. This doesnt appear to coincide with the voice calls.
CRC and HEC error increase dramatically at the same time as the noise margin changes. HEC goes up by 10s of thousands.
I'm still directly connected into the mastersocket with a new microfilter and no extension cable.
By the way, my connection speeds went down to an all time low yesterday , 1.7Mbps down.
I have now replaced my DECT phone with a corded phone and will make some more voice calls to see if that makes any difference.
Any ideas about what the problem could be would be greatly appreciated. -
MBP Connects, Samsung Wi7 machine doesn't.
Hello all. If this is a repost of a similar topic, I apologize.
Presently, I have a TC, which my Macbook Pro connects to wirelessly. My roommate recently purchased a new Samsung Wi7 laptop and was having no issue connecting to the time capsule. However, 2 days a go, his computer would not connect to it.
I am having no issue connecting to either the 2.4 GhZ and the 5.0 GhZ network still on my MBP. My iPod Touch connects with no problem and his iPod touch has no problem connecting to it.
I'm thinking its an issue with his computer. I'm not that familiar with the new 7 system, so I am absolutely lost when trying to trouble shoot that system. If anybody has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it and if more information is needed, please just ask.
Thank you all in advance for any advice you can give.
Respectfully,
JM88In case anyone wants to know in the future I just added the IP address of the printer, selected a different Samsung driver and it seems to work now.

I have a Late 2011 Macbook Pro in clamshell mode connected to a Thunderbolt Display with the built in Thunderbolt cable. I want to then connect an HDTV via the Thunderbolt port at the back of the Thunderbolt display. I already had a cable that I thought would work which turns out to be a MiniDisplay port to HDMI cable and therefore not compatible with Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt (Mini DisplayPort not being the same technology although it uses the same port - although I'm not an expert !!) So far a web search has provided me with the only solution being using a Thunderbolt dock or storage that has multiple Thunderbolt ports and then using that to daisychain inbetween the Thunderbolt Diplay and the HDTV. The cheapest solution I can find for this would be about £250. Surely not ??!!!!
Many thanks for any comments - NikYou could also use aThunderbolt dock with HDMI, such as:

i am trying to connect to my friend's wifi, i have a very strong signal indicated on my ipad, but cannot connect to the internet. Yesterday i connected without any problem, can anybody tell me why i cannot connect today?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though it recognizes it. My ipad and my old iphone4s connect with no problem. Any thoughts?
Although your other devices connect okay, it would be worth resetting your router by switching if off for disconnecting it from mains power for 2 minutes and then switch it on again.
Good luck and do report back. -
Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!
Thank you for your suggestion but I have already had a couple of phone sessions with NETGEAR support and they don't see any problems with the router settings etc. They referred me to Apple support, who helped me discover that it is possible to communicate with the router but only if I turn off the encryption/security software, which I don't want to do. The frustrating thing is that I can connect wirelessly from a laptop running Windows 7 and two Anroid smart phones, with WPA-2 in place, without a problem. Do you have any other ideas?

Can't connect to the internet in my home yet other devices can. I tried it in other wifi places and it connects without a problem. My home wifi is with ATT Uverse. I cheched the IP address on my laptop and its different than on my Ipod although it on the same network.
Move off WEP to WPA or, preferably, to WPA2 (as recommended by Apple). WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi Alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be cracked in seconds by any hacker).
Note that each device on a network has a unique IP address but if your address starts with 169 then you did not get a valid IP address assigned to you by your router. If restarting the router did not cure the problem then you should check for a firmware update for your router. -
Can SAP GRC AC 5.3 connect without any problem with SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise?
hello,
I went to the PAM in the SAP Marketplace to see if SAP GRC AC 5.3 could connect to SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise but I can't see all the "Add-On Product Version for...", it's cut off.
Can SAP GRC AC 5.3 connect without any problem with SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise?
If I can't is there any proof about it? I have to show it to a client.
Best Regards,
Pablo Mortera,Pablo,
GRC AC 5.3 works perfectly fine with SAP's R/3 4.6c, mySAP ERP 4.7 and ECC systems. In fact we have two 4.7 Enterprise systems connected to GRC AC 5.3 system.
You can get the details of supported SAP ERP systems under prerequisite section of Info page of GRC AC 5.3 , it can be accessed on marketplace at -
Downloads-->Installations and Upgrades - Entry by Application Group > SAP Solutions for Governance, Risk, and Compliance>SAP GRC Access Control>SAP GRC ACCESS CONTROL>SAP GRC ACCESS CONTROL 5.3
Just ensure to have proper BASIS and ABAP support pack level as mentioned in prerequisites.

Using hdmi mini port to connect to hdtv
using hdmi mini port to connect to hdtv. the displays mirror just fine but the audio doesnt. under the sound settings for output it only lists the internal speakers and should list the tv but doesn't, why?
If you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
If you have the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody or Late 2009 model 6,1 White Unibody with the Mini DisplayPort rather than the Mini-DVI there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.
