Problems with a large monitor?

In an earlier [post|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8888529#8888529] I mentioned my problems with jerky playback in iMovie 09. After lots of testing, it seems that the problem is related to my 30" monitor. When I start up iMovie on my MacBook Pro without the monitor attached, the playback appears pretty smooth. But with iMovie running on the 30" it is jerky. (Playing the clip in QuickTime is smooth, so it's not an inherent inability of the graphics chip to drive a large monitor quickly).
Anyone else using a 30" monitor successfully with iMovie? (Mine is an HP3065).

Two thoughts on this. First, are you connecting using DVI to VGA adapter? If your tv has a dvi input, use that - it's much better. Second, are you editing HD? If so, watching the video from within iMovie is for previewing. A finished Project Exported using Quicktime or Shared to one of the pre-defined output formats will produce a movie that will play back correctly even though it perhaps stutters at times from iMovie.

Graphics problems with my second monitor...

Ever since I updated to Lion, I get some display problems with my second monitor (a Samsung LED XL2370).
Single windows appear darker and with bad graphics, especially when dragging from the normal monitor to the external one or openign them..
And after 'waking' my MacBook from sleep today, the background image of the normal display was missing. It was just a grey screen, but perfectly functional. And nothing changed when I checked the display settings and tried changing the background.
Any ideas??
A screenshot with both problems in it.. Acrobat Reader was sitting between two monitors, the right display is the external one

After 10.7.3 i was optimistic apple finally fixed the bug....but it seems that they were not successfull or just didn't care....
I'm seriusly really sour about the rapidly decreasing quality apple delivers.....thinking more and more about switching back to linux again....

Problems with an external monitor

I have a laptop with intel 945 grafic card and I also use an external monitor (which has a nicer panel).
However I experience some strange problems with my setup:
I usually (when I am at home) start my laptop and close the laptop screen via
xrandr --output LVDS --off
But, after a random period of time (I have not found any good reason for it) my external monitor goes in some sort of power save mode (the screen goes black and remains that way).
I usually activate the other screen (LVDS) and try to see if I can do anything.
when I type:
xrandr -q

No matter what I do I cannot live reactivate the external monitor.
(usually I try with the classic :
xrandr --output VGA --auto
Inittially I thought it is a problem with the driver (i810) so I upgraded yesterday the whole system.
Even after I did that and used the new driver (intel) I still had much luck as I had an other blanking event today.
An other ideea is that this is caused by faulty bios, but it is just a guess
My present day solution: reboot (yes, full reboot, because restarting the xorg has not the intended effect)
Any ideas on what may cause this?
Any help would be appreaciated.

display goes to sleep when colsed because there is a magnetic switch - small magnet opens the circuit.
if it stays on, either magnet was misplaced, some wire disconnected or the issue is with the switch circuit.
on some models switch is part of trackpad, if you have small magnet, try moving it over trackpad, see what it does.

CS5 Memory Problems, with Tiff large format

Dear Friends
This problem hit many people before me and there was a lot of feedbacks and helps given, but my case is add on to all other responses.
I have PC with 12gb triple channel memory with I7 processor and 2gb Nvidia 460GTX graphic card, plus win 7 ultimate 64bit, and I though nothing should stop me. but I was wrong, at time it irritating and time consuming but so far no help.
I rendered an image in Accurender and saved 2 times ones JPEG and ones TIFF just so I have both to see which one will print better quality sharp etc. I have both 64bit photo shop and 32bit, when I open the JPEG 330mb, Photoshop opens and I can crop etc, but when I open the TIFF file which is 420mb I get message saying no enough memory, which you may seen or come across.
Steps I took so far:
·         Gave Photoshop more memory through preferences, not that it needs 64bit! no change
·         Tried the openGL on and off, the card is Palit Geforce 460GTX and supports opengl 4, no help.
·         scratch disc if 200gb so no space shortage, I have 2x300GB disc space
·         Played with increasing the cache to higher or lower, no help.
·         Just incase you say is my image is corrupted, no the win preview loads the image no problems.
Similar problems with Adobe Indesign the large Tiff file can be placed on to A3 sheet all OK, but if I send to the printer I get message no enough memory, not sure if it is a printer memory or Indesign can handle the file, it handles 330mb JPEG no problem,
400~450mb file is not that big and should be working fine, is it the TIFF and why!!.
Have you come across this problems do you resolved please let me know.
Biyoroob

Near as I can tell, you didn't actually say what the pixel count is in the large image that's causing you problems. You mention "330 MB JPEG" and "420 MB TIFF"... Is that 420 MB in the traditional photographic sense, or a file that's 420 MB on disk? If the latter, it's not clear whether it is saved with compression...
Please clear this up - what's the pixel count, horizontally and vertically, in the TIFF file you cannot open? Also, what's the color depth (bits/channel)?
At first blush, and if I'm interpreting what you wrote correctly, you might expect the file sizes on disk to show a greater difference between 330 MB and 420 MB (JPEG vs. TIFF), but that would depend on the content and whether you have compression in the TIFF.
And it seems at least part of your problem is with printing, yet you don't mention the printer brand/model at all... What printer is it? From the sound of things the limitations may be in the printer driver, not the app, but that's not clear. How big is the print that's failing? A3?

Problem with parsing large XML files chunked over HTTP

I'm trying to isolate a bug that was introduced when upgrading the JRE in use from Java 7u51 to 7u71 without changing any code. The problem appears to be very similar to: Bug ID: JDK-8027359 XML parser returns incorrect parsing results.
Further investigation showed that it was also introduced in the same versions (7u71) where that fix was applied. Unlike that bug though, my XML is marked as version 1.0. It also appears to be with only large XML files, on the order of 10MB or so.
The closest I've been able to narrow it down to is the code is using JAXB to unmarshall a stream that the debugger tells me is a org.apache.http.com.EofSensorInputStream / org.apache.http.impl.io.ChunkedInputStream. The exception I get is not consistent, but typically appears to be from chunks being overwritten or shuffled, resulting in letters appearing in attributes that are actually numbers, or like the following where an attribute "testAttribute" gets partially overwritten by the end of a timestamp that was in a different section of the XML.
javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException
- with linked exception:

Here's some code that seems to reproduce it if you can connect to an XML server that returns a large chunked XML file:
SchemeRegistry registry = new SchemeRegistry();
registry.register(
new Scheme("http", 80, PlainSocketFactory.getSocketFactory()));
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(new BasicClientConnectionManager(registry));
String url = "http://someUrlReturningAlargeChunkedXML";
HttpGet method = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(method);
InputStream inputStream = response.getEntity().getContent();
XMLStreamReader responseReader = factory.createXMLStreamReader(inputStream);
JAXBElement<JaxBObjectOfResponse> wot = unmarshaller.unmarshal(responseReader, JaxBObjectOfResponse.class);
If you connect using URL.openStream() to the same service there is no error. If I read bytes directly and write to a file, there is no error. The error only happens when I try to unmarshal it, and it's large, and I'm using Java 7u71 (or later). It can be consistently repeated with the jsp webapp that I'm using, but didn't show the error when I used the same code with a Wikipedia dump XML file.
How can I unmarshal in a different way to avoid this problem? Or, how can I better isolate the bug so it can be posted to the appropriate bug system?

Apparently, adding the Woodstox XML libraries avoids the bug. Is there anyone who can reproduce this on another system? Was there any changes to the Stax implementation between u67 and u71 that may have introduced a bug like this?
Edit: When setting the logging level to DEBUG, I once saw the overwritten buffer being logged as if that was what was received (as in the testAttribu00Z example above). I can't repeat that anymore though, and very rarely it does parses with no exception (though it may have still been corrupted). Now the error seems to be consistently on one of the buffer boundaries, as in:

Intermittent Problems with Digital Imaging Monitor in Taskbar - J6480

I am utilizing Vista and have the J6480 wireless all-in-one unit. On occasion, it takes forever for it to initialize and at times the program becomes non-responsive. On the last startup, I did not get the "check mark" until about 5 minutes after start-up. In addition, when I did get the check mark, the all-in-one was not working correctly as when I would hit the "Scan To" button, I was getting an error that there was no associated computer. Has anybody else had problems with the HP software becoming non-responsive or not being reliable upon start up 100% of the time?

Problems with playback in monitor

My project plays for a few seconds and then suddenly stops. I have to hit the space bar again to get it to start up again, but it doesn't go for long before it stops again. The same happens whether it's on automatic quality or highest quality. I have rendered the full movie, so that's not the problem.
The project is only 13 minutes long. Is it possible that the .mov file has some wrong settings? I've been having problems capturing video straight into Premiere Pro (problems with audio), so I've had to capture into iMovie, then "share" it with expert settings into a .mov file. However, I may have some of those "expert" settings wrong (since I'm not an expert).
I appreciate any suggestions you might have.

You're the one with the camera. I suggest some tests - shoot the same few scenes at various bitrates and watch them directly on a properly calibrated HDTV. This will give you some direct observations about quality differences between bitrates.
My own viewpoint is that there really is no point to any camera using GOP compression. It's just a bad idea from the start, so if one has issues using such a camera, I see that as "caveat emptor" situation.
I'm not aware of any official announcement from Adobe on the full list of what will be updated/corrected/fixed with 4.1, but my guess (and it is purely a guess) would be no. I'm inclined to believe this is primarily a horsepower problem.

New Mac Mini with Lion Video Problem With Dell E228WFP monitor

Just purchased a new mini Mac 2.3 with Lion pre installed. I connected to my old Dell E228WFPI monitor via the Mini Display to VGA adapter. The mini mac worked fine for an hour until I put it to sleep. It would not rewake. After rebute the gray screen and apple logo appear with clock, but after clock screen to black and monitor goes to power saver mode. Took unit to apple store twice and could not resolve problem by changing resolution or other methiods. Finally, we learned that the system works fine using Belkin HDMI to DVI cable. This Dell Monitor had DVI connector. Hope this helps...

How can a computer that's been turned off (and I mean completely OFF) get a network request? Only a sleeping computer should react to such a request. If you're sure you shut down (Apple Menu, Shut Down), then only an internal power supply or logic board problem should cause this. The only way it could be software is if Lion is not shutting down the computer but is instead putting it to sleep. Is it a new Mac Mini? If so, you should have it replaced or repaired.

Problems with my second monitor after upgrading to Mountain Lion

Basically I have a Mac Pro 8-core with two video boards (2 x NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB) connected to two monitors. After upgrading to the Lion Mountain, 90% of the time when I start my MAC the second monitor doesn't show it image, keeps in full black screen, what puzzle me is, I can see the mouse arrow on it, so its alive, but its in black, than I have to restart the computer over and over again until it finally make the second shows it contains.
Have anyone experienced the same problem?!

Hello Carlo!
Sorry but I don't understand which part of my question is not clear. I've been to the Apple Store, they asked me to bring my 20kg Mac Pro and both 24" inches Eizo monitors to central London to have it checked. Well, honestly, this is impossible, is an invitation for an accident.
Is just unbeliavable that no one has experienced my problem, looks like I am the only one person with two monitors using the Lion Mountain.

Problem with blobs larger than (about) 2kb

Hello,
I try to insert binary files with java (jdbc) into tables in my 9i database, and small files with e.g. 500bytes are no problem, but files with 3 or more kbytes are not inserted yet. I got no sql-exception. It simply seems not written into my table.
This is the SQL I used to create the table:
create table tblblob2 (
name varchar2(30),
content blob)
lob (content) store as glob_store (
tablespace LOBSPACE_1
storage (initial 100k next 100k pctincrease 0)
chunk 4
pctversion 10
INDEX glob_index (
tablespace raw_index))
TABLESPACE LOBSPACE_1
storage (initial 1m next 1m pctincrease 0);
insert into tblblob2 (name) values ('Test')
Before this I already tried a very simple create-statement, but it wouldnt work ,too. Thats why I tried this lob...
And then I used java to update this row:
DbConnectionHandling dbConnection = new DbConnectionHandling();
          dbConnection.connect();
          FileInputStream fis = null;
          Connection cn = dbConnection.connection;
          PreparedStatement st = null;
          try {
          File fl = new File( FILE ); // imgFile
          fis = new FileInputStream( fl );
          st = cn.prepareStatement( "update tblblob2 set content = ? where (name = 'Test')" );
          st.setBinaryStream( 1, fis, (int)fl.length() ); // imgFile
          st.executeUpdate();
          System.out.println( fl.length() + " Bytes successfully loaded." );
          } catch( SQLException ex ) {
               System.out.println("0: " + ex.getMessage());
          } catch( IOException ex ) {
               System.out.println("0: " + ex.getMessage());
          } finally {
          try {
               if( null != st ) st.close();
          } catch( Exception ex ) {
               System.out.println("1: " + ex.getMessage());
          try {
               if( null != cn ) cn.close();
          } catch( Exception ex ) {
               System.out.println("2: " + ex.getMessage());
          try {
               if( null != fis ) fis.close();
          } catch( Exception ex ) {
               System.out.println("3: " + ex.getMessage());
With small files it works, but whats wrong with "larger" files?
I need fast help...
Thanks, Nick

No Ideas? May it perhaps be a restriction of db-admin?

Problem with a Dell Monitor - stopped working yesterday, just a flashing orange light. Monitor or Mac Mini issue?

I've been using an old Dell monitor with my Mac Mini ever since I got it, however yesterday evening my monitor stopped working - however I'm not sure whether the issue is with the monitor or the Mac Mini. It just doesn't seem to respond when I try to bring the Mac Mini out of sleep. I can hear that the Mini is responding to the keyboard - I hear the right noise for pressing return on the password box without entering anything.
I've made sure all the cables are plugged in properly (power & connection to the Mini), but all I'm getting is a flashing orange light on the monitor.
I don't have anything else to test the monitor on, nor do I have access to another monitor to plug into the Mac Mini - I only have an old iBook G4, so don't have the right adaptors to plug the VGA from the monitor into that.
So before I run out and buy a new monitor, what is the best way to determine where the problem lies.

Hi, I've actually never had any issues waking this monitor from sleep, this is the first time that it has been unresponsive and I've had it for years - probably over 10! (E151FP) so probably overdue for replacement.
To be honest I'd rather not just switch the Mini off unless it's a last resort given that other than the lack of a picture everything else seems to be working ok - still hearing all the normal noises of Skype, Mail and TimeMachine etc.

Problems with Printing Large Blocks of Colour in InDesign CS 5.5

I am hoping someone can help me.
I purchased InDesign CS 5.5 and Konica Konica Magicolor 7450ll Printer for my business. Essentially I am creating A4 sheets with a background colour with three or four lines of white text. I was advised that InDesign was the best tool for this type of work.
I seem to be able to create brilliantly flat colours when using the inbuilt CMYK swatches, however if I attempt to create a new swatch or even fade an inbuilt swatch the print is not flat, it is patchy and very poor quality.
I raised the issue with Konica, and they have stated that it is an InDesign fault? I am running Windows XP. They told me to do a search on InDesign/Windows conflicts but I have not been able to find any articles which address this problem.
I have created a PDF and get the same problem, I copied the artwork into Photoshop and the print was much much better but still nowhere near the vibrancy of the inbuilt CMYK swatches.
Can anyone assist me with this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Rach

Hi Rach
The standard swatches and any others you make yourself will print perfectly provided the device is up to the job.
I'm not familiar with the printer you have there (although it looks very nice!) but I've never come across a laser printer that copes well with large areas of solid colour with any reliability, sorry.
This may help to illustrate what I think you need to see. If you want to see the information (graphically) that InDesign will send to the printer then have a look at the separations preview. Turn on/off the individual separations to see the CMYK channels it will generate. if you can find patches there, then InDesign is at fault, if not, it is your printer and you need to tell Konica specifically that you're trying to print large solids.
Hope that helps.

Problem with sending large HTML files as attachment using JavaMail 1.2

Hi dear fellows, i am currently working on posting Emails with attachments using JavaMail 1.2. i succeeded in sending many mimetypes of files as attachments except for .htm and .html files. when large HTML files (say, >100 kB) serve as attachements, the mail is posted on mail server, but not properly posted since only the first small part of the file is writted into mail server but the latter part of the attachment file is missing.
is that a bug of JavaMail??? are there any fellows encountering similar problem as i did??? any suggestions for me to proceed? hopefully i made myself clear...
Many thanks in advance,
Fatty

i've sort of found the cause for that, it is because when the stream write to the mail server, unfortunately there is a "." in a single line. so the server refuse to take any more inputs.
so do i have to remove all the "." in the file manually to avoid this disaster? any suggestions??

ATI HD2600 MacPro DVI problem with HP LP2275w monitors !!

booting up from 10.5.1 all was OK... after updating OSX my 2 HP LP2275w monitors stay dark.
it seems the DVI signal isnt present to switch ON the screens.
after some freaking with input selection from the OSD of the HP LP2275w monitor image appears :-/
with 2 monitors (booth are model HP LP2275w) just the secondart one get turned ON, so i need to freak a bit to get the image from DVI.
i tried with a macbook pro/GT8600 DVI output and all works fine !
it seems the ATI drivers after 10.5.1 dont like my HP monitors !!
ah... WHY apple havent done a mini display port - STANDARD display port adapter or cable ????
my HPs have also display port input, but is unusefull cause it seems Apple did every kind of adapters BUT NOT the much obvious one !!!!! aaarrrgggghhh !!!!!
thanks in advance for your help :-))
