Hi,
Nice cheap upgrade option for you.
ATI 2400 Pro agp.
Had quite a few SiS based mainboards with same issue. Cheapest and most cost effective way was; to upgrade to ATI 2400pro AGP card. Price in UK is £25-30.
I am sure this will help.

The Intel Mac Mini uses on-board graphics... how good are they?

I'm seriously considering getting an Intel Mac Mini and telling all my friends to get one, too. However, there's one problem - the graphics.
The whole reason I'd want an Intel Mac would be so that I could dual-boot into Windows Vista (when it comes out) in order to play the latest games.
How suitable are the on-board graphics for gaming? Would it be able to play Halo and Command & Conquer Generals well?
Basically, I want to know if it's the equivalent of a 64 MB graphics chip in speed, or if having on-board graphics makes it a bit slower. Does it have hardware acceleration? And is it suitable for smooth casual gaming at an average resolution?

I am very uneasy about finding integrated graphics in the new mini too.
When I first saw the new Mini website on Apple's website I was so excited "intel processor", "4 usb ports", "faster drives" but something was missing from the website; the "graphics" sub-category. I instantly wondering what was up with that, thinking right away obviously the graphics weren't good enough to brag about. I was right. On Apple's MacMini website, on the "Intel Core" sub-category page, bottom of the page, right side there's a weee comment on integrated graphics, "oh." was my only thought.
It's really disappointing to see integrated graphics in the new Mini. That AND the increase in price. The price of the Intel iMac dropped by $100 when it got introduced, but the Intel Mini's price goes up $100 upon introduction, further closing the price between the iMac and the Mini and making the iMac looking more and more attractice in terms of features-performance-price-value. I better run out and buy a Intel iMac before Apple removes the miniDVI-out port (which I'm predicting it will be removed in the next iMac revision)
Hopefully some Intel MacMini review tests in the coming weeks will reveal better-than-expected graphics performance.
I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned this but... doesn't anyone here see that Apple has given us a preview of what's to come by putting integrated graphics in the new Intel MacMini? -- Anyone? I'll tell you -- we're going to see the exact same integrated graphics in the upcoming Intel iBooks, that's what.

My phone was stolen, I have moved it in lost mode,but I can see that whoever has it,is changing phone name and can use it until I activate lost mode again.Can I do it permanently? How can I cancel ICloud back for the stolen phone,it blocks Cloud memory?

My phone was stolen, I have moved it in lost mode,but I can see that whoever has it,is changing phone name and can use it until I activate lost mode again.Can I do it permanently? How can I cancel ICloud back for the stolen phone, as I cannot delete the stolen phone backup (says that backup is being in use) and this is keeping memory occupied in the Cloud and I cannot back-up the other devices.

1680 x 1050 Resolution on MBP 15

New to Mac and loving it.
I have an external display (Dell 2007WFP) with a native resolution of 1680 x 1050 - but that setting is not offered in the display properties. I read one post that said "make sure display all resolutions is checked" however I cannot find that option in any dialogue.
That's the short version - if it makes a difference or if anyone knows a work around the ultimate goal is to use the MBP in clamshell mode running TWO 2007WFP's with a Matrox DualHead2Go - Digital which does support the 1680 x 1050 (x2) resolution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Kappy - On connection of the two external monitors the available resolution did present itself in the form of 3360 x 1050 (why I missed it - was looking for 1680 x 1050) With this resolution selected everything looks crisp and runs great.
One problem...
Once I try to close the lid and run in clamshell mode I get black screens and after I wake the MBP get an "out of Range" message from the monitor.
I'm only posting that last bit here for academia as I think the issue lies in the Matrox hardware and not the Mac.
Thanks

Mac Pro GeForce GT120 Unable to select 1680 x 1050 resolution

Hi all - I've got a brand new Mac Pro with current OS on it. It has a Geforce GT120 video card, and I've hooked up an NEC 203wxm monitor using a Mini Display Port to VGA adaptor. Now, I can't select the native resolution of the display (1680 x 1050) in display preferences. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Rich

3rd party monitors (Dell incl) have been a bear to get working with MDP, and the $29 (did it drop now to $19?) has been less than satisfactory while the $99 (supports dual link) has been better it is almost as much as a 2nd GT120. And that resolution is well within what 20-23" would use, nothing like 30" dual display link support.
Same for ATI 4870. MDP is being added and adopted on ATI's 5000 cards so have to see. The GTX 285 w/ 2 x DVI ports looked better when you get into DVI and 3rd party displays.
Firmware update huh? hope that works, though I'd think a new model of the MDP adapter would be in order (free exchange type).

Mac Mini - 1680 x 1050?

Ello' folks,
This is my first post on Apple and i've been a mac user for about 6 years now, I guess that's a good thing.
Anyway, I'm upgrading my Mac Mini (PowerPC G4, CPU Speed: 1.42 GHz, Memory: 1 GB) to Leopard on Monday and I also wanted to upgrade the display to a Westinghouse 22" LCD. It's native resolution is 1680 x 1050 and I can't find any document telling me that the Mini can or cannot handle that.
Any help would be great, thanks a bunch.
Philip

Oddly enough, that particular resolution doesn't work for me with my MM-PPC. I just got a HANNS-G HG216 monitor whose native resolution is 1680x1050. Plugged in into my Intel MacBook Pro via the HDMI-DVI connector, works great. Plugged in into the Mac Mini PPC, monitor complains "No Video Signal". 1600x1200xMillions works fine. Eventually I got it to work by using the DVI-VGA adapter and that alternate input to the monitor, but I'm not satisfied, as I wanted to reserve the VGA input for my blade server.
Is there a reason why the frequency choices are ghosted out in the Displays Preferences? There are other choices that the monitor supports I could play with. Also, where is the monitor database located, and is it editable?
Would be interested to hear from the OP if he gets his monitor working.
Tx!

Original Mac mini and 1680 x 1050 resolution

I have one of the original Mac mini's with the ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card. Can this be used with a 22" 1680 x 1050 DVI or VGA display?

My PPC 1.42 w/1g RAM works fine with my Dell 22" widescreen at 1680x1050 utilizing VGA input, BUT will not reliably display the same using DVI as connection method. It acts as if it is overwhelming the system using DVI.
Not the display...I had it replaced.

1680 x 1050 resolution with BenQ FP202w

Hi,
I am new to Mac computing after having PCs for the last 15yrs.
I have a G4 powerbook wa/a 15inch display
I have connected up a BenQ 20inch wide screen, and it wont display the native resolution of 1680 x 1050. Its like nearly half the screen in a square box with black around the edges, top and bottom.
Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Cheers!

I was having the same problem with my Powerbook G4 15 in. and new Dell 20 in wide screen monitor. I just found this solution in another Apple discussion thread posted by ArmPitoftheGiant:
"I found a way to do this. Close the screen and put the MacBook to sleep, then wake it using the external keyboard/mouse, and open the screen. The external display stays on, but the built-in LCD stays off and my desktop is not extended to it."
That's assuming you have an external keyboard, mouse or other peripheral device you can use to wake up the laptop. You can then open the screen if you do need use the keyboard or leave it closed if you don't. Don't you love it when the answer is this simple! Thank you, ArmPitoftheGiant!

Can I paste a 1280 x 720 slide into a 1680 x 1050 presentation?

I'd like to be able to paste samples of various shows in various resolutions into a single presentation without hyperlinks. I'm presenting on my 17", so I'd like to use the full-screen resolution, 1680 x 1050. I'd like to paste a 1280 x 720 show into it, but Keynote automatically resizes every frame, and everything scales inaccurately do to the difference in aspect ratios. I don't want to have to rebuild every slide. I know I can copy the contents of each slide and paste it onto a blank slide in the final presentation, and the animations copy over, but the transitions get lost. Is there a way to either import the file or copy the complete slide show from the navigator and maintain the integrity of the original?

Thanks -
I hadn't thought of 1680 x 945, I'll try that next go-round.
In the meantime, I created a special frame inside my target presentation, and just copied and pasted the elements I wanted from the smaller slides into the frame in a slide-by-slide process. It actually worked perfectly, and allowed me to highlight the samples in a worthwhile way.
But thanks for the hint! It'll come in handy soon.

Differential mode and CB68LP board

Hi:
I have a question on differential mode on CB68LP board. Attached is a diagram of op am with a differential stage circuit digram. I got from the link here.
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/D59654FA44D2F9FA86256F4A006064F3?opendocument#4
As you see. The gound of Vs looks the same as RL ground. As I see the ground of RL. It is a AIGND. Am I see the way correct? If not, please verify me?
That is the first thing.
The second thing is I have a test fixtuer. The attached block digram at the bottom which show current meter is the output to put a resistor across AI+ and AI- in CB68LP board to measure voltage.
You also see the test fixture ground after the current meter. I use the DMM to test the AIGND and the test fixture ground. They are not connected. But how come the first diagram, Vs ground looks like the same ground as RL. Could you explain to me? I don't understand here. Also, I would like to ask if the current go through AI+ to AI- and then from AI- to back to the ground of the test fixture.
Could you please verify me here.
At last,if I have a case where AI- is at the AIGND (the same wire), I don't have to put bias resistor. why do I not afraid of removing common voltage and common noise? Could you pls explain?
Many thank if you can replay to me promply. I am in an urgent.
Regards,
John

1680 x 1050 resolution support

Hi,
I'm looking for MSI video cards that support my new monitor native resolution (ViewSonic 22" W DVI 1680 x 1050 WSXGA+).
Unfortunately is not obvious from the specs and other posted messages in the forum.
The card I was after is the MSI FX5200-TD128LF. It will be used in a Linux platform (centos 4.4). The hardware supports AGP 8x.
Any information will be very welcome,
Thanks!

I just bought the MSI FX5200-TD128LF to use with a SCEPTRE X20WG (1680x1050). I can get the card to use DSub at 1680, but when I connect using DVI, the max I can get is 1280x1024. I tried updating to the latest drivers, but still no luck. :( Guess I'll stick with poor quality DSub.

Screen resolution on second 20" screen not possible with 1680 x 1050 ?

Hi,
I´ve got two Dell 20" widescreen monitors connected to a G5 with Dual DVI out. First monitor with DVI connected works fine with the 1680 x 1050 resolution, but the second monitor (connected via vga) can´t be set to the same necessary resolution. The monitor control panel does not offer this resolution when using vga. Does anyone know how to get this resolution with vga connector on the second screen ? (I know I had this resolution one day with tricking around with cables and switching).
Best,
Martin

As far as I know, that resolution isn't available through VGA. I thought you said your machine has dual DVI out... Does your second monitor not have a DVI input? If it does, why aren't you using it?

My iPad 4 does not show up on my TV screen when in AirPlay mirroring mode using WiFi. The iPad displays AirPlay set to TV with the Mirroring On (green).
My iPad IOS software is 8.2 and my Apple TV software is at 7.1. The TV displays the Apple Menu. The “Settings” does however displays the General menu allowing me to see:
Apple software: 7.1 (7003)
Apple TV: Model No. A1464, Part No. MD199B/A
Signal Strength shows 5 circles.
It does not display the iPad screen but when I use the BT Sport App I can hear the sound but there is no video. I have searched the internet for a solution to no avail. The problem first arose when the IOS was at 8.1+ but it worked correctly briefly when I updated to IOS 8.2. Can you help please?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

How can I run a Buffered Contour repeatitively using on-board programming?

I have a 400 point countour move that I would like to run for 100,000 cycles. How can I use the buffer over and over again using on-board programming?

Jed,
Thank you for your comments. They did not however answer the question. I am asking about buffered contour moves. Most of the Onboard programming examples and tutorials deal with repeating of linear or circular moves. I have been using the onboard programming for some time, and have set up and run may Onboard DO WHILE Loop programs with good result. I have however been having some problems with the onboard progams running reliably for more than 1000+ cycles. I have spoken with Mr. Austin about this, but we have not been able to resolve this problem.
The buffered contouring options are of great value to me, as I would eventually like to follow some pretty complex pathways that require changes in velocity as well. I can sucessfully complete one cycle o
f buffered contouring, but that is all. I can repeat this cycle, but only by buffering two or more iterations of these points. Each time you write to the buffer, it is memory intensive, and the HELP files urge you to not write to buffers too much while motion is in progress. I have worked with the vi that lets you progressively write a large number of points to a small buffer and a while loop. This works great for a few cycles, but I would like to preform 100,000 cycles. I am having trouble getting the same type of vs to work for this many points.
I would like to know if it is possible to have a buffer that you can read from recursively, without it being erased after it is read.
If not, how would it be best to approach this problem?
Thanks,
John
