Problem with dual screen (24" imac 2006 ver)

hi
i've got a 24" intel imac (2006 ver) and i've connected it using apple's mini-dvi => vga adapter to my 2nd 22" lcd monitor, a samsung 2232GW, which is set to 1680 x 1050.
however, the samsung lcd displays (when i'm using as dual screen) is quite blur and double imaged. quality is readable but very irritating. i'm also using the same monitor for my ps3 (uses the DVI side) and have no problem with any visual aspect. I've tried playing around with the settings like resolution and calibration and tuning but didn't help at all.
anyone might have any ideas and enlighten me on this issue?
thanks

Did you get any resolution to your question? I have the Samsung monitor almost like yours, and I posted two seconds ago. I think I have a similar problem. I had been using my Samsung with my PC, and just switched to Mac. I loved my Samsung, but now ,for the first time using as a second. Hooked up to mini dvi to dvi, and reported a glow, or tinge coming around any window that I may place on the Samsung.Also, when Ilook at the background around the window I can see that the resolution is not perfect and is breaking up a little. Did you try VGA? and did it help? Curious to know

Problems with dual screens

I am running an iMac 3.06 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 512 VRAM. I also use an external monitor connected via HDMI. When I run Color using dual screens the picture shows almost only black, and what isn't black is so saturated I can barely discern what the picture is. Does anyone know why this is happening and/or how I can fix it?

I'm not sure Color works properly with monitors connected in that manner. Color isn't accurate without proper monitoring, and you can't get proper monitoring with an iMac. By proper monitoring I mean an HDTV or broadcast monitor being fed a VIDEO signal via a hardware capture card (AJA, Decklink, Matrox). You can't get capture cards to work on iMacs, therefore you cannot properly monitor a video signal.
The display in the Color interface is not accurate at all. It is just a reference to see what frame you are on. It isn't designed to be used to judge the quality of the image. It has a much higher gamma (midrange) than is seen on the external monitor.
I'm assuming the monitor you are using is being fed a converted HDMI signal...converted from the DVI or Mini Display port on the computer. Well, that is a computer signal...not a video one. There's a difference. So this setup will not work...not with Color.
Sorry,
Shane

Problems with dual screen in Lightroom 4

I am getting very poor performance when using a secondary screen in Lightroom 4. I am using Lightroom 4 on a PC with with Windows 7 64-bit on an Intel i7 860 @ 2.80 Ghz, 8 Mb RAM. Graphics card is a nVidia GE Force GTX 260 with updated drivers. Monitors are Samsung SyncMaster 226 and Asus ProArt 22". When in Develop module, the main screen, either on the Samsung or the Asus, goes randomly on and out. Sliders are quite sluggish, also, next to useless. Lightroom 3 works fine with the same catalog. Anybody knows a fix or a workaround?

I'm seeing the same behaviour here with a dual-Xeon E5620 with 24GB of RAM and a decent video card running Win7 Pro x64. It's insanely annoying.
This shouldn't be happening (it definitely wasn't happening with any of the other versions of LR I've owned), and renders LR4 completely unusable in that mode. It works again if I disable the second monitor, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having bought two identical monitors for photo editing...
FWIW, I see lots of "Bezel" and "Shadow" items appearing and disappearing very quickly in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, and regions of the display turn completely black for a few seconds, usually the top half of the photo being edited. The controls are unusable during that time and the entire application feels like it's frozen for a good 5-10 seconds before it unfreezes. Then the whole process repeats itself within a few seconds.

Is it possible to connect my mid 2010 Macbook Pro with my 21.5" iMac 11,2 so that I can work with dual screens?

I have an IMac running the latest level of Lion. Since installing Lion and also being forced to replace the hard drive I have a problem with the screen intermittently go all white. Happens about 8 to 12 times a day. I am using Wild Blue as my ISP.

I am looking for anyone in the west Tennessee area using Wild Blue along with Apple IMac who is having a problem with their screen going complelely white every so often. Have had the maching into the Apple store in Memphis. They could not get it to fail. Help

TutorDaddy, if this Mac is still covered by the initial warranty or under AppleCare, take it in and have it looked at. As the old label used to say, there truly are "no user serviceable parts inside." Kernel panics very usually indicate failing hardware.
I have an older iBook G4 that started developing kernel panics and like you, despite reinstalling the OS from a freshly formatted volume, they kept continuing. I looked at the crash log and saw that in each instance of panic, the last bit of code to be accessed had something to do with AirPort. Knowing that the AirPort software was at then current levels, I surmised the problem to be a bad AirPort networking card which, on that particular model of the iBook, was a very small module attached directly to the logic board. Since the computer was out of AppleCare, I broke the machine down myself (I didn't realize that there could be so many barely visible screws in one machine) and removed the offending piece of hardware. My iBook lives but without WiFi, it now sits as a more or less desktop machine needing an ethernet connection to stay connected to a network.
I do not suggest you break into your iMac. First of all, I'm guessing one would need to be able to pull off the glass and have the necessary glue to reattach it, which is not really available to us consumers. If you're feeling adventurous enough to read the crash logs from each panic, you might be able to surmise the hardware component (or badly written application or library; it can happen) that's causing the panic. If it's a software issue, remove the offending software app and see if the panics return. If it's a hardware issue, it's best to let a competent service tech qualified on Apple hardware to handle it.
[edited to add:]
After browsing through related problems in the discussions, I saw this link to a third-party web site being handed out. Perhaps you'll find it useful: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

Problem with sub-screen actions on Cancel button

Hi all,
I have a problem with sub-screen.
I created a subscreen (screen sequence in MM01/MM02/MM03). When users leave this screen, I call POPUP_TO_CONFIRM to ask if they want to save the data.
1) My goal is: when they choose Cancel, no actions are performed and users will see the current screen. However, I cannot use command: SET SCREEN 0 or LEAVE TO SCREEN 0 because the system gives an error message:
*SET SCREEN not allowed in subscreens*.
2) How can we determine when the user leaves the screen? which value of SY-UCOMM will be used to check this?
Thanks in advance.

for dis SET SCREEN is not required.
Consider d code given below as n eg:
CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_TO_CONFIRM'
    EXPORTING
      titlebar              = 'SAVE'
      text_question         = 'SOME _QUS'
      text_button_1         = 'YES'
      text_button_2         = 'NO'
      default_button        = '2'
      display_cancel_button = ' '
    IMPORTING
      answer                = l_ans
    EXCEPTIONS
      text_not_found        = 1
      OTHERS                = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE e066.
ENDIF.
IF l_ans EQ '1'.    " when yes is pressed
   MODIFY db.
   commit work.
   leave program.
ELSEIF l_ans EQ '2'. "when no is pressed
    leave program.
ELSE.     " when cancel is pressed
ENDIF.
In above module when Yes is pressed it saves data den leave prog.
As no action is specified for cancel button it will remain on that screen only from which popup is called, in this way ur problem can be solved.
Reward properly.

Problem with SAP Screen

Not sure if this is the correct forum.
Okies, a user of mine has a problem with her SAP screens. It seems that she can't view the full screen of CJ20N She has to drag the window bigger to be able to see the content. She uses this window in a split monitor view, i.e. some of the applications are displaying on the laptop window while other applications display on the monitor.
Details of her SAPGUI:
Release 640 Final
File version: 6404.4.16.1015
Build: 774474
Patch Level : 16
Do note that her primary monitor (notebook) is always set to 1280x800 and the secondary monitor is set to 1024x768. Anyone encounter this problem before?

Hi,
This is problem with windows screen resolution. Better to use, maximum supported window size and make sure to use same size for both the screens.

Problem with matrix/screen in Qosmio F55-Q502

Hello
For a few weeks I have strange problem with matrix/screen in my laptop.
The matrix flickers very often - no matter if power cable is plugged or not.
The screen is full bright and suddenly it starts to blink - it is getting darker, than lighter, usually for few/dozen seconds. It does it when nobody touches it or when I work on it.
It very annoying and making eyes tired - it does it very quickly and there are few levels of screen brightness.
Moreover sometimes the screen turns off - You can see what is on desktop but the screen is very very dark (but not blank or completely switched off). It happens without any reason - sometimes just in the middle of working, sometime for example when I touch (not pull) the power cable between laptop and power supply.
Then, the only way to get back to normal brightness of screen id to close the lid just for half a second and open it
- matrix lights then normally, but can "turns off" moment later and I must do it once again - sometimes even few times..
After "action" with lid screens seems like nothing ever happen..
Does anyone have idea what is the cause of such behaviour or how to diagnose it in details?
Or maybe solve this problem?
Best regards

Sounds like the Backlight or Inverter is failing or there is a loose connection.
Is the unit under warranty? Send it to an ASP for repair.
You should avoid repairing it yourself, the backlight is very high voltage!

Problems with share screen in lion

Hello
I have had problems with share screen since i have installed Lion. I can't share screen even inside the Lan, between Macs and between Mac and Iphone. It's like Lion would had some port block in any hidden place. Anyone knows something about it?

FINALLY! Got Screen Sharing to work! REPLACE ARDAgent (v3.5.1) with the older v3.4
Instructions by tchaga:
1. Download ARD 3.4 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1350 RemoteDesktopClient.dmg), mount it, look inside the package/Contents, copy the Archive.pax.gz to the desktop
2. Expand the Archive.pax.gz and navigate inside the resulting folder Archive to /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement
3. Navigate to the same folder at the root of your HD (i.e. HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement)
4. Copy ARDAgent from your HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement to the Desktop and then delete it from the HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement folder (you need admin password).
5. Copy ARDAgent from Archive/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement to HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement (you need admin password again).
6. Restart
