My display starts "buzzing" when I increase brightness.

My display starts "buzzing" when I increase brightness, but gets lower decreasing lights. It seems to be originated in the left down corner on the back side.
It sounds like an electrical short circuit. Shall be needed assistance?

Actually, Apple says to use the Disk Utility program on the installed system to "Repair Permissions" as the program uses a database that is updated to the proper settings for the version of 10.6 that you are using.
The original DVD may have 10.6.0 on it but the computer may be running 10.6.2
The original DVD doesn't have any changes in the permissions that Apple has included with updates.

There is also an Apple document that says that just about every warning you see in the window while doing the repairs should be ignored. I just uncheck the details box and wait for the "Permissions Repair Complete" statement to appear.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
I don't know if a permissions issue is causing the video settings issue, but it can't hurt to run the program.
Zapping The Pram is also a powerful reset mechanism you can try.

A flickering display sounds to me like a hardware problem. Or does this only happen with a specific game? Of course your machine is still under warrantee so you could take advantge of it if you have a local apple store.

2011 iMac, buzzes when brightness increased

My iMac has just started buzzing when the brightness is turned up. Is this a known fault ? due to an underlying design fault ?

JasonWhylie,
Try resetting both the SMC and PRAM, run each reset 2-3 times. However my guess it's an issue with the power being supplied to the computer. If you have it plugged into the wall or are using a power strip the power could be dirty and cause this type of issue.

Why does my iMac display go off when I am starting up or waking up my machine from sleep..

Why does my iMac display go off when I am starting up or waking up my machine from sleep..?
When my iMac goes to sleep I then later try to click the magic track pad or keyboard and it will usually then show the initial password entry login screen and then go off. The machine is still on but the display is black and will sometimes flash up the screen again if I press the magic track pad or keyboard but will then black out again..

Well, there are many different reasons why it does this. It might shut off due to power voltage problems, system overheats, or there is a System Problem. The reason it might be hard to boot up is because your power button might not work properly or your system hard drive is damaged.

Address Book crashes at start up, or when I increase Windows size

Hi
I did import a lot of new contacts from my phone via iSync into the addressbook.
After I did that Addresss Book started crashing all the time at start up.
Then I deleted the Addressbook Preference Files.
Address Book now starts up but when I increase the window.
Addressbook crashes again.
Maybe a faulty contact, address book has problems with?
Anybody have an idea what I might be looking for?
Or where can I find all my contacts on the harddrive so I can delete the ones added yesterday.
Or anybody else have a diferent idea what the problem might be?
Thanks

Safari 4 is up and running now. I deleted the Sogundi and it started to open but froze... so I deleted all of the files in that folder and ait still froze (not just hanging but froze) then I delelted the Safari.com plist in Library/Pref's and that seemed to work - it doesn't feel totally stable but I'll keep using it and let you know if the problem is totally solved...thank you!... I'm totally impressed that I actually got a help response from Apple - I'm astounded actually - this is the first time I"ve posted a question to the Apple forum and really appreciate the fast response!! Wow I really love Apple now.... can't image Windoze users getting this kind of help.

I want to know why display core dump when arch starts!
2008. 06 iso!
u can see display coredump in starting......

GAH, you silly people!
Now I'm going to have to go off and write a program that selects a random string from a file to show on startup!
(I'll probably fill the file with all the Arch snapshot names)
EDIT: I should mention that you're silly because you managed to get me following a random compulsion.
EDIT AGAIN: Done! I now get a random snapshot name in that spot whenever my system boots. I can post the script if anyone wants it, it's three lines.
EDIT ONE LAST TIME: Oh wait, three lines and a extra file full of snapshot names.

Those can be the features of faulty battery. See if you can get Recovery Mode, don't Restore just enter Recovery Mode. Connect iPhone to computer or Charger. Hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds, see if it enters Recovery Mode. When you unplug Recovery Mode will go away. If it enters Recovery Mode fine, then most likely faulty battery. If you like you can always enter Recovery Mode and try to Restore.

My iPhone has started buzzing or beeping for unknown reasons. It seems to happen when the battery is fully charged as well.

you cannot overcharge the iPhone battery. You can leave it plugged in with a full charge for as long as you want. It will not affect the battery at all.

A few months back I Dropped my iPhone 4 and I cracked my screen and now i cant unlock my phone due to touch screen not working plus there are blurred lines across the screen and I can't see anything that it displays.
Now when I try too connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes on my computer at home an error message comes up saying that I have to unlock my iPhone 4 for it to communicate to my device.
But the problem is that I can't unlock my iPhone 4 because I'm unable to see the key pad and my touch screen no longer responds when I touch it.
I just want to reset my iPhone 4 back to its Factory Settings & start all over from the beginning.
How can I unlock my iPhone 4 with iTunes on my computer or any other option you suggest me trying.
Thank you in advance,
SiHero

If you have had a "local guy "repair your iphone you will not get any support from Apple for warranty OR post warranty
If Verizon return it to Apple it wil not be handled by Apple
If Verizon also use unauthorised repairers you may be lucky
(Apple do not sell parts to local guys or anyone else )

ECT List View Web Part displaying incorrect data when View Item

I have a External Content Type which pulls data from a stored procedure. The stored procedure has 1 parameter - the users logon id. The data retrieved is a list of meetings with start date time, end date time, location, subject, etc. From this ECT there
is an External List which displays all data correctly.
There is 2 pages within the site and its subsites that have list view web parts which display a subset of the info from the external list. When the user clicks a specific meeting to display the complete info on the meeting, the wrong information is displayed,
it always displays the info for the 1st meeting in the list. So, I displayed the BDC Identity field on the list and this field is identical for all the rows since the key for the ECT is the username and hence not unique.
I've spent all day trying to finding a way to resolve this and have come up empty. I've tried to find a way to make the BDC Identity field to be unique, using Business Data View web part, Data View web part, and nothing.
The user needs to be able to click the My Meetings url header on the above pages to see a full list of their meetings so I need the external list. Any ideas how to make the BDC Identity field unique or how to get the View Item on the List View web part to
work correctly?

Sorry, I do not understand what you mean.
I resolved the non unique BDC Identity problem by simply adding the row # to the Username in the stored procedure so the BDC Identity fields on the list records are now unique (although they're really long ie. __bk44003500070057003700560027000200140037003700f600360096001600470056003300,
__bk44003500070057003700560027000200140037003700f600360096001600470056004300 etc). Not sure how it generates the BDC Identity?
I still see the same behaviour when you select a meeting to display the details. It always displays the 1st record in the list.
I added code to the DispForm to display the ID when the page loads and the BDC Identity from the record and verfied that they do match.
I can add another parameter to the stored procedure and just return the row # in that field. What do you mean by make the identifire as Identity in operations?

Display resolution changes when I close Notebook

Hello,
I have a very annoying problem since I reinstalled the complete system of my Z60m (including all updates within the thinkpad system update utility).
I configured 'Close Notebook Behaviour' in the energy manager to do NOTHING (neither hibernate nor standby) if I close my notebook cover. When I close it the display driver seems to interprete the closing as a removal of the display device and when I re-open the cover the ati display card starts with a resolution of 600x400, detects the native resolution of the panel (1600x1024) and changes it immediately.The problem is, that all open programs including the desktop are going through this resolution change too and everything gets completely cluttered.
I already tried to remove all drivers and reinstall without Catalyst center (I installed only the drivers), but it didn't help to fix the problem. I also tried to inactivate PowerPlay and automatic device detection. This didn't help neither.
The point is, that before I re-installed my system everything was fine when I re-opened the cover of my notebook, with the same configuration within the energy manager.
My system details:
Thinkpad Z60m (2531-E9G)
Windows XP (SP3)
ATI Radeon X600
ATI Driver incl. Catalyst Control Center (Driver-package version: 8.383.1.1.3-070621a2-051036C)
Any hint or advice regarding this issue is appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Henry Farkas

Hi R - J - C
Are you using external monitor or have an apple video adapter plugged in into your mini dvi port, if that so, try to unplug that first.
Also once you set it back to its native resolution, try not to go back there by check the "Show displays in menu bar" and you can change the resolution from there.
May I ask why you need to go to system preference > display that often?
Try to repair permission and reset PRAM to refresh it.
Good Luck.

External Speaker big pop/buzz when connecting or disconnecting audio cable

My external speakers make a big buzz/pop every time I connect or disconnect the stereo mini 1/8" plug into the headphone jack -- if the speakers are turned up high at the time, it's enough to blow them.
This doesn't happen with headphones - just external powered sound. If I turn the external speakers way down or off, there is no pop/buzz when connecting; muting the sound through the Macbook Pro has no effect.
This happens on all external speaker systems I've tried (including the Soundsticks currently), and regardless of whether the MB is plugged in to power or not, and with or without any other external USB or Firewire devices attached. I've also tried various cables & connectors -- always the same result. This does not happen with the same speakers on an older iMac.
I've spoken to a couple other MB owners who have the same problem.
Any way around this? It would be easy enough to turn off the external speakers next the MB every time I plug or unplug -- but with it feeding 3 stereo systems throughout the house, it's a bit much every time...
Thanks!

{quote:title=Neville Mayfield wrote:}
The problem is caused by contact made with the components of the socket as it slides into its correct position. It is a small electrical charge that bridges the plug & socket segments and not related to the current sound setting on the MBP.
I assume you like high volume from your speakers, much more than I would choose to have! I do get a slight buzz & pop myself and to my recollection always have done in 23 yrs of using computers.{quote}
With all do respect, this is not the problem here. I have the same problem as described by the thread starter, and having worked in the audio producing industry for many many years I can say with certainty that what you are describing is something else.
Sure, the traditional "high-volume-on-AMP-while-connecting-signal-source" issue is still present, as it is with any product you connect like that, but this is different: when a headphone is inserted, you can hear a clearly audible "click" followed by a very noticable humming/buzzing sound. It is almost like the machine has "fired up the audio engine" and you get to hear the idle sound.
If I play music in iTunes, stop playing, leave the headphone connected, the humming/buzzing disappears after a while, and when I press play on iTunes, the same "click/humming/buzz" is heard, even though I haven't pysically touched the connector.

friend
sqlldr is an application residing in the OS. procedure runs in the dbms engine.
you cannot run an os command directly from a procedure or a function or a package .
If you want to do so you need to use either a daemon process created by a PRO*C program
or a JAVA stored procedure to do so.
just refer to previous question forums, you can find the solution. Somebody has already given a solution using
java to run an OS command . check it out

IMac Retina 5K Display changes tones when waking from sleep -- Is this normal?

Every single time that I wake my Retina iMac from display or system sleep, the colors on the monitor seem to change tones twice:
First the display goes from dim to slightly brighter (within first 1-3 seconds)
Then the display goes from cooler (blues) to warmer (yellows) (within first 5-10 seconds)
Does this sound normal? Do you suspect the pixels are just warming up? I tried calibrating my display, but this doesn't fix it.

Writing it off as "warming up" for the dim to brighter effect seems sensible... but cooler to warmer colors seems odd to me...
Fortunately, you can technically reach the cooler colors of your preference by doing a Display calibration, so it's not like the monitor is incapable of achieving that tone of color. But would be nice to understand why it changes tones in the first place. Perhaps it's doing a quick refresh to achieve an ideal color temperature?
Worst case scenario, Apple is very flexible with returns (when I bought my Retina MacBook that I felt had a hardware issue, they immediately replaced it without question) so worst case scenario you could always ask for a replacement given it's such a new / recently purchased machine. I considered doing this, but am concerned it might be an issue with all the the Retina iMac machines... would hate to have to swap & setup the computer all over again.

Display shuts down when doing a system restore

Presio CQ61-411M
Windows 7
Display shuts off when trying to do a system restore.
When doing a system restore the display seems to shut off. I have tried many times, sometimes it stops at 3%, sometimes at 14% and sometimes before I can even start it. I have attached a second monitor and it goes off at the same time.
I can no longer boot to windows since it started a system restore.
I have tried to boot from a CD and also get a black screen. All lights on the keyboard are still on. It is like it goes into powersave mode. Light on HD is solid, doesn't make any noise.
I am so frustrated! There was no power or display issues before I started. I was simply going to do a clean restore.

Yes, if you have the music folder you still have your song files....the most important!
But I would hate to lose my ratings and playlists.
If you want your ratings and playlists from the ipod, itunes will NOT do it. You would have to download & install some other 3rd-party ipod manager. Such as mentioned here:
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/P2
My advice for the future is to make frequent backups of the iTunes Library.itl file. About once a week, I put a copy on a USB stick Mor often if I've done lots of edits/added content. And ALWAYS before an itunes upgrade.

My display starts "buzzing" when I increase brightness.
