New MacPro Connection to 3rd Party Displays

When connecting a new MP to a Dell monitor that supports HDMI, is there any reason you wouldn't simply use HDMI to HDMI? I see lot's of dicussions around web for mDP?
Thx
Paul

It depends upon how many monitors you are using
Mac Pro (Late 2013): Using multiple displays
You can easily use two HDMI monitors, one direct to the HDMI output on the MP and the other via mDP to HDMI adopter. For more it becomes harder

How many 3rd party displays can be connected to MBP retina 15"

I was just wondering how many 3rd party displays can be connected to the MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15" and 16GBs of ram. I have contacted the Apple Online Chat and every time I get a different awnser. I know that there are 2 Thunderbolt ports and a HDMI port on the machine. Can someone help me please?
Thanks,
Jayden

Near all screens. You can use the HDMI port to connect the MacBook Pro with Retina display to a HDMI screen, but you have got Thunderbolt.
Thunderbolt is compatible with Mini DisplayPort, so you can use Mini DisplayPort adapters to connect your MacBook to a DVI or VGA screen too

"3rd Party" display iPhone 5

I recently went inside the apple store here in texas to see as to why my iPhone wouldn't charge correctly. Last year I had the same problem and someone was able to just clean the phone and tried it out and it worked fine. This time it was fairly busy, and one of the apple reps decided just to help me without an appointment. I told him the problem and he asked around for what looked like a sim card remover. After receiving one and started to use it to clean the charging port. I asked him if that was safe for the phone since it was a pointed metal tool. He stated, "It's fine, as long as I don't hit the charging prongs". Afterwards he did not bother to test to see if this in fact fixed my problem. Since it was back to school, he seemed very busy and just let me go on my way. Arriving home, several hours later I needed to charge my phone since it had died. Trying to charge it it did not work at all. Prior to going to the apple store, my phone would charge with the charger at a certain angle. A little frustrated I was wondering if the guy at the store had made me fry my phone since usually if the phone dies it still displays the battery asking to be plugged in. The display was completely black. The next day, I went back to the same apple store and asked about my issue. They took my phone to the back and eagerly tried to tell me my phone had a 3rd party display. The serial number on my display box was not the same as the one apple uses. I was confused because I have never fixed my phone in the whole two years that I have had it. I bought this phone from best buy on September 21st, the day the iphone 5 first dropped. I had it reserved and bought brand new with apples wrapping packaging stil on it. They said that they could not help me at all since it was a 3rd party display even though I have never gotten my phone fixed. They even stated maybe I had "forgotten" that I had it fixed. Already frustrated he even said that what his apple rep did would not have effected my display. My question is, has there ever been any issue with having a different serial number on the parts that apple uses or the phone it self?

Most likely used. Apple does not sell parts exect to AASPs who are not allowed to resell them.

3rd Party Display Resolution Issue - Mid 2011 iMac 27inch Mavericks- iMac wont allow max resolution of Samsung SyncMaster SA850

Hi Guys,
I just updated my 27 inch iMac to Mavericks and can't get my third party 27inch Samsung screen to run at maximum resolution. Even when using the "Alt" Click and select Scale shortcut I cant display the 2560 x 1440 resolution the screen is capable of.
I've called apple support and they couldn't rectify the issue nor could samsung. I've even tried the monitor in another iMac updated to mavericks and have the same issue.
Im connecting using a mini display port to DVI cable through my thunderbolt port.
My machine is Mid 2011 27inch iMac 3.1ghz core i5 with AMD Radeon HD graphics card upgraded to Mavericks
Monitor is brand new 27 Samsung SyncMaster SA850. I was able to get it to work at max resolution on a Windows 7 PC.
Any help would be appreciated. Thinking of returning the screen, hopefully Samsung will take it back.

The standard > Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter only supports 24" monitor resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.
For a larger monitor you need either a > Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
or perhaps a simple Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable if your monitor supports DisplayPort input.

Connection to 3rd party server

Hi,
it's me again ;-)
After few tests with my S2S conection between a BM38SP5 and a bintec
router it seems that the BM cannot establish a connection to the bintec.
From the bintec side it is allways possible to establish a connection to
the BM.
If the BM make the initial call to the bintec I get the following error
messages in the IKE log:
26.11.2007 11.58.16 Invalid SPI SIZE in IKE MAIN MODE SA 8
26.11.2007 11.58.16 Processed SA-PAYLOAD unsuccessful - No IKE proposal
chosen, dst=<public IP bintec>
26.11.2007 11.58.16 Failed to create IKE-SA - No IKE proposal chosen , dst
= <public IP bintec>
Any ideas?

I tried this but then I got a lot of PAYLOAD LENGTH errors
I tried 3des/sha, des/sha, 3des/md5, des/md5 on both sites without success.
I have configured 3des/sha on both sites but the BM tells me every time:
mine is des/sha yours is 3des/sha. If the phase2 comes up from the BM site
we have 3des on both sites.
After the first installation I had success with 3des/sha. But I had
problems with the 3rd party rules (see my other posts). I played a little
with the BM settings (there are only a few...) then I got the first time
the proposal mismatch error. After a reboot everything was fine again
(except for the rules). Abrupt I had my proposal mismath errors again, but
from this point the error no longer disappears.

New MacBook attempting to connect to 3rd party wireless n router

I was wondering if anyone might have a few suggestions for me getting a MacBook 2.16 GHz running Mac OS X 10.5.1 connected to a third-party 802.11n wireless access point.
The router is a cheap AirLink 101 N router. I have no problems when the router is set to mixed g/b. I am
The issues start to arise when I start introducing n protocols. If I set the router to mixed g/b/n, I can connect and the network utility will show n speed, but I start having wireless network deafness. Seems connection is lost at times for a few minutes and then comes back. The speed of my network applications such as browsing also seems to slow down. Takes images longer to load. If I set the router to n only, I can never connect. I have tried disabling wireless security and that does not help. I have also tried all other security settings. I just can never connect. I haven't played with the other settings. I have a new iMac that when the router is set to n only will not connect either.
If anyone has suggestions, I would love to try them. I am seriously considering purchasing the AirPort Extreme N, but I don't like to give up on something when I am having problems.
Thanks,

I'm using Netgear Rangemax DG834 which works great for a Macbook and a PC. Good range in a big house with thick walls and well into the garden. Setup and maintenance is simple.
Having some trouble getting the Macbook to hook up to the network automatically on startup, but that's a Mac not a router problem.
If you want to go for wireless printing then I'd use all Apple stuff as it seems easier to hang together - I've tried a couple of wireless printer servers which were expensive and generally useless.
Cheers

New MacBook connected to external VGA display screen flash.

Just got the 2.4Ghz yesterday. For home use I've got it connected to a Samsung SyncMaster 2032NW display via the Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter. Occasionally the display will go dark for a half-a-second or so and then come back on. It happens randomly, not for hours sometimes and sometimes multiple times over a shorter period of time. There does not seem to be any repeatable action that causes it to happen, it appears to be completely random. This does not happen when I'm using the built-in screen. And I didn't have any problems using the Samsung display with my older MacBook.
Should I take the computer back? Is there something I can do to check the hardware for issues?

Glad that I am not the only one have this problem
Got the latest macbook aluminum yesterday and hook up to my Dell 24" monitor (2407WFP-HC, 1920x1200 resolution) through mini-displayport to VGA adapter. I also kept macbook lid closed and plugged in the USB keyboard/mouse; so that I can use the external monitor as the only screen. The monitor randomly goes black with a message saying "Entering power save" and then after a second comes back fine.
I am not sure but I feel it happens more when I open new windows, although there are times it happens while I was doing nothing than reading a web page. There is no problem with using the built-in display without external monitor.
Any help would be appreciated!

Connecting 3rd Party via Saprouter

Hi experts,
is it possible to connect a 3rd party via saprouter to our sap-systems?
Or is it just possible to connect SAP to the systems?
I already found one entry in SCN, however there was also no solution provided.
Kind regards

Hi Christian,
To connect your SAP system a 3rd Party needs SAP GUI setup at their end & you can provide the sap router string to connect your system via SAP GUI.
For security purposes you can configure sap router string with password option(authentication to access SAP system),so that after confirming job/consultancy by 3rd party you just need to change the password under router string only in regards no one can access your SAP system/network.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks,

Service desk integration with 3rd party tool

Hi all,
I've problems understanding the setup of connecting a 3rd party service desk tool with solman itsm.
So far it's clear that I need to activate and configure the service provider and consumer in soamanager.
The webservice then will be called by the 3rd party tool with corresponding data.
However, according to spro I need to define a value mapping for incoming/outgoing calls.
I do not understand this mapping... the WSDL of webservice ICT_SERVICE_DESK_API contains lots of fields, but in spro -> value mapping I can only define the following fields (which are hard coded in type pool AIICT):
SAPCategory
SAPComponent
SAPDatabase
SAPFrontend
SAPIncidentID
SAPIncidentStatus
SAPInstNo
SAPOperatingSystem
SAPSoftwareComponent
SAPSoftwareComponentPatch
SAPSoftwareComponentRelease
SAPSubject
SAPSystemClient
SAPSystemID
SAPSystemType
SAPUserStatus
What about attachments, priority etc.?
Will the interface parameters mapped to these ones?
For what purpose do I need to maintain the value mapping?
Can you give me a hint?
Regards, Richard Pietsch

can you please check the WIKI Solution manager Service Desk Integration with third party service desk - SAP Solution Manager - Security and Authorizat…

Install 3rd party emulator in Java ME SDK 3.0

Hi!
I have just uppgraded from the EA release to 3.0. When I had the EA release I added a number of 3rd party emulators to be able to run my midlet with the 'Run With' command. Now I can't get the emulators installed.
I try Tools/Java Platform/Add Platform. I have tried with both 'Java ME MIDP Platform Emulator' and 'Custom Java ME MIDP Platform Emulator' but no Java ME Platform folders can be found. Should my existing emulators, that worked with the EA release work, or do I need new versions? What 3rd party emulators hav you tested this with??
br
Erik Wetterberg

Hello Erik,
thank you for your comment.
The UI which comes with Jame ME SDK 3.0 is supposed to be a small IDE for Java ME SDK 3.0. It means it does not support emulators which are not Java ME SDK 3.0 compliant. That's probably your case.
Detecting not Java ME SDK 3.0 compliant 3rd party emulators and "Run With" command was a side effect of EA release which was removed for final version. In final release it is not possible to detect not 3.0 compliant toolkits anymore, e.g. Sun Java Wireless Toolkit 2.5.2 for CLDC or Sun Java Toolkit 1.0 for CDC.
If you want to use 3rd party emulators use NetBeans Mobility. It is supposed to support all emulators which can be detected by UEI.
Best regards,
Radko

TNS-12154...3rd Party tools won't connect to 9.2iEE

Platform:
Pentium 4 2.4GHz
Windows 2000 (SP2)
Oracle 9iEE 9.2
OWB 9.2
Quest Software Data Dictionary for Oracle
Other 3rd party tools accessing Oracle RDBMS
We have installed Oracle 9iEE, and OWB 9.2. OWB Client and Server components have been installed into their own 'oracle_home' directories. All software is installed on the one machine.
We have also installed Quest Software Data Dictionary for Oracle on the machine.
We have found 2 TNSNAMES.ORA files on the machine....one for the database itself, and the other in the OWB Client 'Oracle home'
The OWB client connects with the database ok, but the Quest software and other 3rd party tools come back with the error of TNS-12154. 3rd party tools were ok while we had 9iPE installed. But have stopped connecting with the oracle database since the installation of 9iEE and OWB, and come up with the TNS-12154 error each time we try.
We have 3 'Home' entries in the Registry under HKEY_LOCALMACHINE>SOFTWARE>ORACLE. One for 9iEE, and 2 others each for the OWB Server & Client.

THE NEW INSTANCE STATUS COME UP AS READY, UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS STATUS OF UNKNOWN!
My guess is the 2 TNSNAMES.ORA files on the machine, and the contents of the Registry 'Home' entries are causing the issues. But I'm not sure of what actions to take, and why initially the service instances come up as 'UKNOWN', and then the other 2 appear as 'READY'. ora92ee.mydomain has 2 instances of the service....baffling.
Is it to do with installing 9iEE on a single machine, rather than a Client/Server environment?
Any ideas upon how we can get our 3rd party tools to successfully connect to the Oracle database again will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

problem solved

Two display problems with my new MacPro! :/

I recently bought a new MacPro to replace my PowerPC, and am having some odd video problems I did not have with the old computer (yes, using same display). Here's some quick stats I think are important.
1. 30 inch Apple HD display (used on both computers.)
2. Old video card = Radeon X1900 - NEW video card = Geforce 8800 GT (came factory installed)
3. Old OS = 10.4.11 Tiger New OS = Leopard (with all current updates. Also factory installed)
4. Quicktime Pro on both systems fully updated
5. Both Machines had all updates installed at the time of this problem (which is since i got the new machine)
Here's the two problems...(btw NEITHER of these happen when the display is hooked up to the old computer. only the new MacPro with a different video card and OS)
1.) When I play back video (sometimes in FCP (all types of files), sometimes in QT (.mov), and sometimes even on youtube and vimeo (so those are .flv files!) only SOMETIMES do I get these odd vertical refresh-looking lines. It makes the video somewhat flicker and you can see them crawl upwards kind of. The odd thing tho, is if I play that art of the video over and over, at times it will happen, and at other times it will not. same file, same part. I also noticed it does NOT stay on the file when exported from FCP and burned to DVD, so I'm thinking it is purely playback.
2.) Some files when played back in quicktime will get extremely choppy. (Locally played files). I will then click the desktop to make finder the front most selected program...and the files will then play smooth. if I select the QT window again, it will get choppy and flicker again.
I feel like I have a refresh rate problem, or maybe even a driver problem. The thing is, of course the drivers are not updated outside of auto updates, and I have installed everything available there.
When I open up my display settings, the refresh rate box is grayed out...so changing the rate isn't possible. Also, with my old computer/video card, I had an ATI control panel...the geforce does not have one...only the build in OSX display control panel.
Has anyone heard of this? I have posted in a few different places, and have received absolutely no replies. It's really frustrating, and sitting on the phone for hours with apple support to have them say "never heard of that problem" or have me lug the **** thing into a apple store and be without my computer and unable to work doesn't sound fun either.
it's not stopping me from doing anything..it's just annoying and frustrating cause I can't make it stop. I'm thinking it might be a problem with the leopard drivers that hasn't been addressed yet? I dunno.
Any suggestions?
thanks in advance,
Damion

UPDATE ::
In reading an old solution on how to get rid of the dancing pixels I get every once in a long while on this display, I downloaded SwitchResX and am using the demo to test and see if switching the refresh rate to 58khz will help in the line problem...and lo and behold...it kinda does. it is now only noticeable on fast moving action when put into full screen mode.
The QT flicker problem has NOT gone away...but I'm expecting that the horizontal lines running vertical are a refresh rate problem as I had thought.
My question, anyone know if apple is aware/working on this?
Also, why is the refresh rate not changeable with the 20 inch HD display settings in the display control panel??
I'd much rather use OSX to control my display than a 3rd party application! :/

Acrylic 20" Cinema Display with new MacPro

As I read the posts here, to use the old cinema display with an ADC connector I will need to buy Apple DVI to ADC adapter to connect my 20" cinema display with ADC to the new MacPro?
This new DVI to ADC adapter provides power for the cinema display as I understand which is why it's so expensive whereas when cinema display was connected to my Powermac G5 the power came thru the ADC connection?
Is this correct?

Email account and Internet service not working after migration onto a new (upgraded 3rd party) 2012 MBP. Hardware or software issue.

I just purchased a refurb Mac Book Pro from the Apple on-line store. When I received the machine (serial number) I purchased 3rd party (OWC) parts. All of these were installed by the authorized, local Apple repair store I have had excellant results with past issues with my 2006 MBP. The parts installed are: 16 meg ram, 240 SSD and a 1 T installed replacing the optical drive.
Feeling ready now, I had the Apple store do the migration from my 2006 MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8) over to the 2012.
When trying to get the new machine into the production flow, I cannot get email to work. It will launch but I cannot access accounts.
During the One to One, then moved over to the Genius Bar appointment, they reentered the account(s) data. Nothing.
Also at this time they noticed that the Internet connection was not working.
A new internet account was set up and it worked. They (Genius) launched email and the Internet connection crashed. This was repeated about 5 times.
The computer was left with Apple to reinstall the OS (10.8) - their best suggestion as a fix and I have now had a call to say that the install did not correct the problem. Now they are questioning the install of the 3rd party parts as the possible problem.
I'm to go back into the Apple store to discuss the next steps.
I would really, really appreciate anyones thoughts / suggestions on this problem. Is it software or hardware? Should I re-install the original ram and 500 m hard drive to start over with the migration? I'll be honest here and state - I'm not a technician in computers or this side of technology. That is why I have reliable parties do the install and trouble shoot. Not a comfortable feeling being at their mercy.
Advanced thanks to all who believe they have answers.

Back from the Apple store with my 2012 MacBook Pro.
After one re-install of the OS - no better - a clean install was performed - purging all of the data that they had migrated over from my 2006 MBP last week.
The belief is, that the migrated data from my 2006 MBP was too great of a leap for the new 10.8. My (a lot) software was too dated and there in was a "blip" of some sort in some / one of the programs.
So - all of the OWC parts and pieces that I had installed are not the issue - as they all show up on the About this Mac - and other things are functional. Yeah.
I now have my 2012 back (with upgrades) in the original form (OS and programs) and I will start a one by one migration of programs that I do need and use. Being cautious not to make one large transfer.... weeding out programs that will no longer be needed or will work on the OS 10.8. I will manually set up the email accounts one by one.
Fingers crossed.

I have a brand new iMac that does not have iDVD. Made a move on iMovie installed a 3rd party burn prog. but DVD won't playback on my regular dvd player. Need to burn one that will. Help!

My new iMac did not come with iDVD as they are not using iDVD any longer. I made a movie that I needed to put on a DVD that would play on any external DVD player. After calling Apple twice, they recommened a 3rd party program so I downloaded "Burn-osx" and made the DVD; however when i insert it into my player connected to the TV it gives the message "disk error --playback feature may not be available on this disk". Ok--now what? I am up against a time line here--need the DVD for a graduation party! Help! What am I not doing correctly?

I have a brand new iMac
If you are still within your 15 day return period. Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes.)
Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.
408-996-1010
800-692-7753
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

they recommened a 3rd party program so I downloaded "Burn-osx"
Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie. Get iDVD.
