Networking And Target display Question.

If I have my 2011 iMac all set up and running as a slave using the ethernet port can I then use my iMac's display with the other TB compatible Mac using target display mode.
This would be for the Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 where the iMac would be used for the sample libraries.

Hi Phillip,
No idea & can't test, but it should be safe to try.

Non-Apple keyboard and Target display mode?

Hi,
How do I change to Target Display Mode with a Logitech keyboard? The usual Command/Windows + f2wont work!
edit: what would be perfect is an applescript to do this, anybody ever heard of one?

Probably be better to search the logitech boards, here's some reference to the cmd and option keys being switched:

File import questions and folder display questions

I am running LR3 on Win 7 x64. I have a few questions.
I have a hard drive assigned to drive letter "B:\" Why doesn't the file imported see this drive in the list of drives? I have to use the "other drives" and browse every time that I want to add files from this disk. Other drives, including networked drives are fine.
When importing from a main folder and including subfolders, is there a way to filter files in any manner? I never want to import web galleries that I have made in bridge, for example. These files have very small JPG files, thumbnails and web images. Is there a way to exclude them form consideration whilst importing? Is there a way to reveal and show the thumbnails with the folder structure? I don't want to have to browse to every folder individually when I am trying to import all useful images from an entire disk. If LR would at least show the folder structure of the subfolders when you select photos from a top level folder, this would help. How can I do this?
In the library view of folders, how I filter on all files in one disk? I can select a folder under the disk and see just that folder, but LR will not allow me to select the entire disk. Is there a way to do this?
How can I display the entire folder structure in the laibrary panel? Some folders are not showing their top level folders that they are inside of. How do I reveal this information?
In the library module, how can I filter on file dimensions? I thought that I had seen this, but I can no longer find this. Sorting by file dimensions would also be an option to accomplish what I am trying to do. I need to delete all thumbnail images and tiny images from the catalog. Is there an easy way to do this?

No, because you don't import a whole disk, you only import images. And the toplevel disk bar you see there is the disk where the top level folder is stored, not the entire disk.
Let me make this clear. When I want to view an entire disk, I am only wanting to select images that I have already imported, not the entire disk including images that I have NOT imported.
I am not sure if you dont understand what I am saying or what. If you have folders of images inside a top level folder, you can easily select the top folder to see all subfolders that you have imported. Why can't I select the disk as the top level folder to see all of the images that I have imported on that disk?
I have a cattelog that has images from 8 different disks. I use removable drive bays so all 8 disks are not available at any given time. I just want the ability to select all images that I have imported on a disk, just like you can do at the folder level. I am at a loss as to why this is a problem.
My point about bridge was that LR is a far superior program for organizing images due to its database. But LR is lacking in some features that could have easily been put into it. If bridge can do the type of filtering that it does without a good database engine, then certainly LR could and should do it. In no way do I want to use Bridge to manage cattelogs with 150,000 images. That would be insane. I have no issue with the fact that you have to import your images first to use LR. It has to be this way to work with the database. My issue is that the filtering is not nearly as comprehensive as bridge.
I dont need help with my workflow. Back when I shot many of the images that I am importing now into LR, there was no lightroom. My workflow was much different back then than it is now. My comments were that I assumed that LR could do things that it cannot, not that I needed help with my current workflow. Much of the issues that I have now with LR are due to the old workflow and trying to import only the raw images.

Heat, Fan, and dimming display questions

I have a hot running MacBook Pro. I've had the unit returned for service and only one of my four issues was resolved. The unit is going back again for service.
I seemed to irritate the last tech support person by asking questions about the heat issues. Maybe some people here can help answer the question that changed his tone for the worse during the remainder of the support call.
Can you easily hear the fan(s) when they operate or do you have to put your ear real close to the laptop to hear the fan(s) operate?
I asked because I couldn't tell you what a fan sounds like on this machine. I'm on my second motherboard and I cannot feel any air flow from all those vents (or anywhere else for that matter) along the back of the laptop near the display hinge.
Has anyone found a correlation between a dimming display and heat? What happens is the display dims the equivelent of bringing down the brightness down three levels and after a few seconds it brightens back up.
The laptop is going in for a second repair for the following reason:
"Problem Description: Customer sensory issues - Temperature perception: CPU/Unit"

Hello I just wanted to give you some insight on the screen dimming. If you have not unchecked the box at the bottom of the display pane is system prefs the display will dim when ever it scences a lower light situation. I have attached a picture. HERE

MacBook Pro 13" and Thunderbolt Display Question

I am considering purchasing a 13" MacBook Pro to use with the Thunderbolt display. I do a fair amount of photoshop work and am concerned that the lack of a dedicated video card and the dual-core as opposed to quad core in the 15" will be a limiting factor. I would be purchasing the i7 with 8GB of ram in the 13". Has anyone used this combination (Thunderbolt and i7 13" Pro) for Photoshop, and how has it performed?
Thanks!

Thank you for your response, I will definitely way that option more heavily. I was hoping to be able to accommodate the 13" form factor. As a student I bring my computer everywhere so the smaller size would have been nice.
I
f I may waste a tad more of your time, is the reason behind the GPU and quad core because of photoshop or the 27" monitor in general? The only reason I ask is that I am only a casual photoshop user so that alone may not sway me, but if powering the thunderbolt display is of a concern for the lesser device then the decision becomes much easier.
Sorry to ask so many questions, I know a decent about computers but I am not too familiar with the thunderbolt adaptor and as such am not sure how that interacts with the GPU and such.
Thanks again!

VMWare - networking and ESXi installation questions

Hey all, hoping for some assistance on building my servers.
I am likely going with SuperMicro 2028R-E1CR24N due to cost and the fact that I can put Samsung Pro 845DC SSD drives in there and it will be covered under warranty (does anyone use SuperMicro today?), but am still considering HP DL Gen9 series servers because, well, they are HP and its always a slightly safer bet than SuperMicro...but the costs with SSD drives is just too high
Question 1.....
I am unsure whether to get 10GB RJ 45 NICs or the 10GB SFP+ NICs
Not sure between Intel 520X, 540, 560...etc.
The switches these servers will be plugging into will be Cisco 3750X switches, they currently don't have 10GB SFP+ modules yet but I could easily purchase though.
So I am unsure if SFP+ provides better and TRUE 10GB throughput and bandwidth? Or is RJ45 10gb NICs ok and I simply just plug them into the regular ports on the switch (I think they are set to auto/auto/1GB though?)
I also have the option for X540 Quad Port 10GBAse-T but unsure if I need it or how it could help me...
Question 2....
SuperMicro doesn't have slots for SD or MicroSD cards for the ESXi installation but they do have a 64GB Sata 6GB/s Disk on Module (MLC)..I know I don't need the space and it doesn't look like it needs one of the regular drivebays on the server for this, so will this be sufficient?
Does anyone use this today and how is the performance?
HP has slots for MicroSD cards...
Thanks all!

The minimum version, for both Windows 8 and 8.1, is ESXi 5.1
To upgrade, you need to upgrade at least one of your hosts to ESXi 5.1. To manage that host with vCenter, you will need to upgrade vCenter to 5.1 as well, which will manage your ESXi 5.0 and 5.1 hosts. See the following link for interoperability: http://partnerweb.vmware.com/comp_guide2/sim/interop_matrix.php
Here is the link to upgrade a host to ESXi 5.1:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2032757
Here is the link to upgrade from vCenter 5.0 to 5.1:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2032283
I strongly recommend you use the VMware Interoperability Guide, in case you have older ESXi hosts (i.e. 3.5) that will no longer be managed when you move to vCenter 5.1.
Hope that helps.

IMac 20 and 24" Display Question

What is the difference between the 20 and 24 inch display?
I understand a difference may exist in that the 20 inch is a TN and the 24 is another type display. This is new to me.
Can someone offer a brief explanation of which is a "better" display? I am not gaming and am not a pro user but want the nicest display possible.
If both are benchmarked the same, then the tie breaker would be the display. IS bigger better?
Thank you.

My wife & I debated the $300.00 difference, & we finally decided to go for the 24". Great decision. The display is huge & gorgeous. I have a 20" iMac G5 at work and it now seems small. We did, however, decide that the extra cost for the 2.8 ghz was not worth the extra cash, so we went with the 2.4. No freezing, artifacts, or anything else (so far).
DEFINITELY get the 24" - you will be thrilled!

MacBook and Cinema Display Question

I have a MacBook and need to know if it will work with a 30 inch Cinema Display. I think it will, but need to check since I have one that can be sent to me. The Thunderbolt displays do not work with the MacBook, which I did not realize until I tried it. My MacBook is about 3 years old.
Any answers are appreciated. Thank you so much!

I should clarify that my MacBook is a white MacBook, was probably new in 2009, and worked perfectly fine with a 24 inch Cinema Display. That one died and I can either spend $600 on getting it repaired, buy a refurbished one, or use a 30" one that a friend has and is no longer needing it. It's good to have friends, I just want to make sure it will work before they send it.

Can windows 8.1 in boot Camp display in target display mode on an IMac?

I have given up on Windows 7 running in Boot Camp on my 15" MacBook Pro and displaying it on my 27" IMac via thunderbolt and Target Display Mode.
The FAQ concerning Target Dsiplay Mode farily clearly says Windows 7 won't work.
But it does not say Windows 8.1 will or will not drive Target Display Mode via thunderbolt.
see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219, question 29
Has anyone found that running Windows 8.1 in BootCamp on a MacBook Pro Retina mid 2012 will display via a thunderbolt cable in to Target Display Mode on a late 2013 IMac 27"?
I don't want to go to the trouble of installing Windows 8.1 and trashing my otherwise functional Windows 7 Boot Camp installation unless it is going to display properly on my late 2013 27" IMac running OSX 10.9.3 via thunderbolt.
Thanks in advance!

no, tdm doesn't work under bootcamp regardless of which windows is being used, imho i don't think it will ever work under bootcamp

External Monitor in Target Display Mode Won't Wake Up

I'm using 2 imac 27' and one is simply used as an external display. When I wake up the computer from sleep, it works on the main monitor, however the external display still has a black screen. I have to unplug the external monitor to get it to wake up. Is there anyway to fix this? I tried unplugging thunderbolt and replugging it in which worked the first time, but same issue again not waking up.

Same issue here, I'm using a macbook pro retina and connecting to a 27 inch imac via thunderbolt and target display mode.
I also have a 27 inch thunderbolt display hooked up via tbolt cable as well.
Whenever the displays goto sleep, the iMac does not wake up with the other screens. My setup knows the iMac is part of the displays, it doesn't act like there are only 2 screens available.
If I press the target display mode shortcut (command + f2) then the imac screen turns on, but now its left target display mode (so it clearly is in target display mode, but does not receive the command to turn on display or ignores it). Hitting hte shortcut again now switches back.
I have not tried just the mbpr + imac as target display mode, but based on your post it still wouldn't wake up if it was the only machine connected.
I've found that when I come back to my computer, i just hit command +f2 on the imac, which wakes it up and jumps to its screen, t hen i hit command +f2 again, and now I wake the mbpr from sleep so it doesn't have to go from 2 screens to 3 screens.

No backlight in Target Display Mode on 2012 27" iMac

I am trying to use my new 2012 iMac 27" as an external display for my mid 2011 Mac Mini with Target Display Mode. At first it seems like it's not working when switching as I hit Command + F2 and the screen changes to black. But after shining a flashlight onto the monitor I can see the desktop and dock of my Mac Mini operating system. Mouse control and everything else works, it's just the backlight doesn't light up when connected to the Mac Mini. But hitting Command + F2 again brings it back to the iMac and a normal functioning backlight.
I'm assuming this is a bug in the new iMac because I had a late 2011 iMac 27" (previous generation) hooked up to this same Mac Mini and Target Display Mode worked perfectly between the two. It was even the same exact Thunderbolt cable. I have re-tested the Mac Mini and plugged it into another monitor with a DVI to Mini Display port adapter and it has worked fine. Has anybody else experienced this behavior?

HI - i had this problem too. see my previous post above. I spent weeks on the phone to apple support.
from memory:
1. I had to reinstall the OS (from a download) - but this failed to work
2. So... I had to perform a complete reinstall of the operating system (and wipe all user data)
3. and then restore all my user data.
Everything has worked seamlessly since then - which to me indicates it's a s/w problem and possibly one with something in my user profile? I just reliased I did not try and create a new user and try TDM using that. This would've proved it was a user profile problem or not.. I had one small ocassion where the screen went blank a week ago, but I just quickly pulled the TB cable out and put it back in again - and it was all ok.
So in essence I've been runing OK now since I did the reinstall and restored the user data.

Double Quotes Display Question Marks

I have some data in a tabe that is rendered as some read only output in my JHS app. This works fine in JDeveloper on Linux and JDeveloper as well as deployed on Windows. However in the version that is deployed on Red Hat the double quotes are not displaying correctly and instead display question marks in their place. The import of the database schema worked and the data is in fact double quotes. Wondering what setting I can change that makes this server treat the same data as the other environments?

Hi,
This sounds like a JDeveloper/ADF issue that is not related to JHeadstart. Can you please ask this question at the JDeveloper forum at JDeveloper and ADF ? Thanks!

I have a late 2010 MB Air (mini display port) and a new 2013 iMac (thunderbolt) which I would love to use as an external display. I suspect that target display mode won't work.Any ideas for how to achieve this?

According to the TDM support page, this isn't possible. I tried it with a Mnidisplay port to minidisplay port cable without success. Its a shame that thunderbolt doesn't appear to be backwards compable as I could have achieved this with an older iMac.
Cheers

You are correct....it will not work. Please carefully read Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Hi Tarun 49,
If you are having issues with your iPhone such as you describe, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

HT3924 can i use iMac keyboard and mouse when it is in Target Display Mode and attached to my MBP?

I can attach my iMac to my MBP via thunderbolt and run it in Target Display Mode, so that itsimply becomes a screen attached to my MBP.
What I really want is for the keyboard and mouse of my iMac to also operate as if they were attached to my MBP, but I cant seem to achieve this.
Is it possible?

Its a wireless mouse and keyboard - dont think I can re-pair the keyboard to MBP since I need it talking to the iMac to enable and disable TDM?
I expected TDM to natively pass through the mouse and keyboard to the MBP, since that is the obvious user requirement. But this does not happen.
So I guess I want a workaround so my iMac keyboard and mouse can drive my MBP while attached via Thunderbolt cable in TDM mode.
