More Dell 2850 problems

With prior help, I got the PERC4 drivers loaded after cd1...reboot went ok, but then when it prompted for cd2, it could not read it. Basically, it seems to be the same problem as with the floppy. The CD however, is built-in and not usb. I dont see it anywhere in iostat from the terminal. Since i wanted to get some performance testing done on it, i skipped the last few cd's for now. Is there any way to get this cdrom working again, and perhaps to install the other cd's or did I screw that up too :-)
Thanks again.

I have a Dell Poweredge 2850 that I am trying to get
10 running on. It requires the PERC4 driver which I
downloaded from the sun download site. The usb
floppy works fine for the initial load, but once
install reaches the end of D1, it asks for the floppy
again, and cannot find it. I assume this is because
the USB filters are not up and running at that poin.Nope, the USB mas storage drivers are working fine at this point.
Problem is that the USB mass storage driver use a different
device name than PS/2 floppies -- /dev/dsk/c*t0d0p0 (USB) instead
of /dev/diskette (PS/2). The installer knows nothing about
the USB mass storgae floppy device name /dev/dsk/c*t0d0p0;
the installer tries to find the ITU floppy on /dev/diskette.
Any ideas on a workaround?Yes. See this thread:

Solaris 10 on Dell 2850

Hello,
HCL says Solaris 10 was validated on Dell 2850.
I'm trying to install it, but Solaris doesn't find any disk.
I'm wondering if the problem comes from using PERC/RAID controller.
Does someone have any idea about ?
Thanks
Jose-Marcio

Next hurdle is that the disks are reporting an incorrect
size. These 73GB disks are reported at 17GB disks in
the format command.This is probably an issue with the disk reporting more than
65535 cylinders; the SunOS disk label limits the number of
cylinders, the number of heads, and the number of sector per
track to values less than 65536.
I guess that Patch 119375-01 / 119376-01 contains a workaround
for this issue:

For a new S10 installation, use the extra driver floppy included in
patch 119376-01. When the system starts the boot process from
CD, interrupt the autoboot by pressing the ESC key, and use
"F4_Add Drivers" from the first DCA screen.

Running Oracle on Dell 2850 against sunFire 440

Is there any reliable comparison about running Oracle (9i or 10g) on a sunFire 440 as compared to Dell 2850 or 6650 PowerEdge (2 way Xeon #Ghz) running Linux? I have seen many benchamrks but they are mostly obsolete, not on these models, and not DB relevant.

Do white new iPad's have more light bleed problems?

I have exchanged 3 white 64GB wifi only new iPad's and will be exchanging for my 4th one today. are there more light bleed problems with white iPad's? I don't know how many times i will have to exchange until I get a good one. can someone show me of a white ipad that has no defects what so ever.

I just want to mention that if the DSL light isn't on, it is definitely the phone line, however it is not always the provider's fault. Remember they are responsible for the line from the pole to the house, but not the inside wiring. If your phone line is unplugged from the jack, the DSL light will not be on. To be sure that it is SBC's fault, go and test the connection at the d-marc box outside the house.
Take your laptop, your modem and a phone line and plug it in out there. If you don't get the DSL light, it is definitely their problem. If you do outside, but not in the house, and you call them out, you will get charged for the service call.
Also the built in ethernet cards, more commonly referred to as airport cards, are not really delicate per se, but the wire for the antennae connection is most definitely. Only if you removed yours which you would have to if you wanted to add RAM, would you have any reason to be concerned about possibly damaging it. SBC telephone tech support is always showing off their lack of knowledge.

Dell 2850 with usb floppy install (problems)

Macbook Pro retina, Windows 8.1 dual screen, Dell E228WFP problem/blurry

Hello brainiacs,
I am running my Macbook Pro 2013+ edition with Retina display and an extrenal screen.
Problem: Fonts and windows on secondary screen (Dell E228WFP), in extended display mode, appears blurry and/or large (see screenshot)
I use a Mini Display Port to DVI for my Dell Screen, Apple original product.
I use Windows 8.1 with latest Boot Camp, version 5.1
My Macbook is latest Macbook Pro with retina 15'' 2560x1600 px.
Dell Screen has a resolution of 1680 x 1050 px.
When I view the display settings in Screen Resolution mode in Windows, I get the following warning: "Your resoltuion is lower than 2028x1440. Some items might not fit on your screen". I do not believe this warining is regarding blurryness, but rather moving windows from primary to secondary monitor.
Here's a screenshot:
Some of the texts look fairly sharp and crisp, for example the pop-up menu (except, this has huge fonts). Outlook is very blurry. Chrome is, - ok, but not perfect.

External Monitor (Dell u2711) problems

Hi all,
I'm an editor and just bought a Dell u2711 to hook up to my MacBook Pro (2.53 GHz, 4GB Ram, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M). The DVI would only support up to 1920x1280 so I bought a mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter and that got me up to my full resolution for the monitor.
HOWEVER... my computer seems to be too slow or the graphics card isn't good enough to support such a monitor. Is this true? When I use the external monitor as extra desk space and put all my FCP windows in it I get this banding on my subjects when they move. It just looks like very slight glitches and the movement isn't displayed so smoothly. I'm working with 1080p ProRes 422.
When I try and use the Dell u2711 as an external video monitor (display all frames) it lags pretty bad and the motion is stuttery and not showing in smooth motion.
Please help. Would I have been better off with the 27" Cinema display? I thought they were pretty similar monitors. Is my laptop or graphics card not up to the task? Just last Nov. or so I got this laptop with what I thought was the best available graphics card Apple had at the time for this laptop.

Go to your Audio / Video Settings >> A/V Devices tab and turn of "Mirror on desktop" for Playback ... this will reduce the load on your system as it will not be trying to decode the video for two separate (and different) playback streams simultaneously ie when using Digital Cinema Desktop Preview to display All Frames then you will not see playback in the Canvas window as well, just on the external preview monitor.
And/Or you could also try setting FCP's System Preferences >> Playback Control >> Gamma Correction to "Approximate" ... according to the manual this can offer a little performance boost (but to be honest I haven't ever tested this).
Choosing Real-Time Playback Gamma Correction Options
Whenever you watch your video on a computer display (such as video displayed in the Canvas, the Viewer, or via Digital Cinema Desktop Preview), Final Cut Pro applies gamma correction to the video to more closely approximate the way it would appear on a video monitor.
Note: Gamma correction is not applied to external video outputs such as DV or third-party interfaces because this correction is inherently applied by external video monitors.
If your computer’s graphics card supports gamma correction, Final Cut Pro automatically uses the card for accurate gamma correction. If your computer has an older graphics card that does not support gamma correction, you have two gamma correction options in the Playback Control tab of the System Settings window.
Accurate: High-quality gamma correction. This option is the most accurate but also requires the most processing power.
Approximate: Lower-quality gamma correction. This option leaves more processing power available for real-time effects but results in less accurate color and brightness rendition.
Tip: If your real-time performance is limited, try changing the gamma correction setting to Approximate (if available).
Hope it helps
Andy

Thunderbolt to Dell monitor problem

My 2013 MacMini will not display correctly to a Dell E193FP or a Samsung SM940x AS THE SECOND MONITOR. Both monitors work fine on a Windows HP i7 machine.
A HP27x1 as the main monitor on the Mini works perfectly fed from the HDMI out to a DVI adapter. The Dell is fed from the Thudnerbolt port via a VGA connector. The Thunderbolt output looks dim with poor contrast. Impossible to wind up brightness or contrast to come close to the HP. Used to use an Apple Cinema display as the main monitor form the HDMI port with no problems. The tHunderbolt port seems to be the problem with third party hardware. Anyone else have this problem??

What resolution and refresh rate for the VGA connected monitor?
18. What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter?
The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. VGA displays that use higher refresh rates (such as 85 Hz) at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or greater may not generate video properly until you lower the refresh rate.

Dell printing problem

When I work on a project in landscape format and I want to print it on my excellent DellCN3110 laserprinter, he always treats it like a portrait format, anyway I change my printer settings. I only have this with photoshop CS5 intel on my new Mac Pro 2010. My former Powermac G5 PPC never had this problem. The only workaround I have is to turn my page 90° before printing...could it be a certain bug, in photoshop or in the Dell driver? Any suggestions? Thanks

WAAW!
This was REALLY helpfull!! I found a resolution in that thread, posted by Was DYP-I8QNVY:
"All you need to do is set the finder to show hidden files and folders. Then copy the /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstops file from your 10.6.4 backup or partition to the 10.6.5 folder /usr/libexec/cups/filter and then repair permissions. You might want to save the pstops file from 10.6.5 somewhere so that you can copy it back if you want."
Don't forget to repair permissions!!!
This one saved me out!!
Thanks so much!

Dell Connection Problems to Airport BS

We've heard it all before - I can't connect to the Airport BS with a Dell D600 laptop running XP(SP2)when I have the encryption on the Airport set to either WEP128 or 40.
Before anyone tells me to run to the iFelix site, I have and I can't get through step 1 as the Dell won't even acknowledge that there is an available network.
If I use the Dell 1350 WLAN access tool (instead of the XP wireless wizard), it sees my SSID, but when I type in the password (yes I used the admin utility to get the HEX version), it still will not connect. I've tried both 40 and 128 bit words - no luck.
If I make the network completely open - no encryption - all works well.
I'm also running an iBook and a new MacBook off this same Airport Base station. No problems at all.
Can anyone help me figure how to hook up?

It may require you uninstall the Dell WLAN tool.
Create a System Restore point so that you can revert the system back if required.

I agree with Duane use WPA, as it should work.
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

"WPA Personal" on the Mac corresponds to plain WPA, with a pre-shared key (PSK) and TKIP encryption, on non-Apple wireless routers. The same alphanumeric password should work on both.

Aironet and Dell Latitude problems

We have 3 access points, 2 1121s and a 350. All three are configured identically, using IOS and with 2 user vlans, one configured with WPA/WPA2 and LEAP, and the other with 128-bit WEP. Both VLANs are also doing MAC authentication to an ACS 3.3 server.
Our Dell Latitude D610 laptops with Intel 2200BG wireless built-in can authenticate fine to both of the 1121 APs, but not to the 350. Has anyone seen anything like this, and do you have any suggestions for getting this to work with the 350? The 350 works fine when a client with a Cisco card connects. Thanks.

I have a 600m which is the same chasis as the latitude d600. I also have the same wireless chipset. One of things I have found about the intel wireless is with droping connections both at work and home. Work we use 1200's wireless g cisco Aironets. Intel recognizes the problem and has resolved it with new drivers and software available at their site. since then I have not had any issues.

More DVD Audio Problems! Help!

This is the same problem as mentioned before in "dvd audio compatibility". I'm getting a lot of customers coming back with the same problem, and they're all using coax to connect their televisions to their dvd players. Problem is, not everyone has RCA jacks available to them. How should I be encoding these videos in Encore 2.0 to avoid this problem? By default they're all going into Dolby digital 2.0. For the past 2 years, I've used Encore 1, and never had this problem.
What should I be doing in Encore 2?
Thanks!

David.
It sounds to me as if there is something much more fundamentally wrong here. ALL your customers should be perfectly okay using CoAxial outputs from their DVD players. It is only DVD-Audio (a completely different format) that has this issue with needing RCA type jacks.
DVD-Video should be perfectly okay outputting via CoAxial cables to a suitable Dolby Digital Decoder.
These people who are missing audio - are they attempting to decode the Dolby Digital stream internally in their players? My guess (and thisis a guess without detailed info) is that they have simply not got their systems set up correctly. Sadly, this is all too common as most end users will never go into the setup pages and will just leave everything at factory defaults (which are rarely ideal)
When we are talking about CoAx connections, are we talking CoAxial Digital Audio connections here, or CoAx TV (RF type) connections? There is a huge difference.

More Macbook Pro Problems

Hello again. I have another problem with my macbook pro, in addition to the previous one that nobody was able to help me with.
I have gotten to the point where I turn on my mac, go to my main user, and there would only be a blue screen without any icons or my background loading. I have reset in single user mode and tried a few things, and mainly all I can accomplish is getting the log in screen to come up so that I can get to another user. I just logged into another user, and it turns out that my computer is now reading 75 GB of free space. So, if I have done steps 5-8 on this site: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464, does that mean that not only is my harddrive entirely deletyed, but I cannot get the computer to still work?
I can't believe how unreliable this computer has been. I should not be dealing with this, and yet I am having more trouble with this Mac than any windows computer I have owned. I would like to mention that I have little 3rd party software, adn have no hacks.

Have you taken it in for repair? Perhaps that is what you need to do especially if it's still in warranty. I think this is your best course of action because it's apparent from your post that you don't really know what you are doing as far as "fixing" it is concerned.

More feed posting problems

I have tried renaming the feed and simplifying the feed address all to no avail. I must have tried more than 150 times since last Friday!
I see from this forum that I'm not the only one having problems. I've submitted feeds before with no problems, so does anyone know how I can get support for this as it's driving me nuts!
P4 3.2 Ghz 2.5Gb RAM etc. Windows XP Pro

I'm afraid I don't have much to offer to this discussion except that I'm having the same problem submitting a new podcast I recently created for one of my clients. Hopefully, when Apple notices enough threads about this in the forums, they'll let us know whether the problem is on their end or not.
I have set my client up with Reinvented Software's Feeder application to generate the feed and it validates and works fine when I subscribe to it manually.
I notice many of you are trying to submit new podcasts as well; I wonder if that has anything to do with this?
