No problem. It is an older monitor. But being a small business, we can't afford to discard a working monitor that costs $1500 to replace.
The annoying part is that we tried to do a lot of research prior to purchase to find out exactly what resolutions the Lenovo docking solutions supported. We asked our rep to check because of the total lack of Lenovo documenation on this. We would not have wasted all this time trying to get it to work if we had known.
Even now, no one from Lenovo has come right out and stated that their docking stations don't support Dual Link. I think that they actually have no idea.
We've been bounced around and around between the same Lenovo sales, support and customer service numbers so many times in the past three days that they are now just dropping our calls in the hope that we will go away. No one at Lenovo has offered a solution of any kind.
FYI, we've even been told that because we ordered the W540 through CDW that there is 'nothing Lenovo can do.'

DVI-D Dual link and DVI-D Single link

I have here a FPD2185W Gateway 21" monitor that will not connect to my mac via the MBP's DVI port. I sent in the Mac for repair and it was sent back saying "everything is A-OK". Now my question is, are the cables that i am using effecting the functionality because i know the monitor works on a PC via DVI, but not the mac. The Cable im using now is a DVI-D Dual Link cable. would it be wise to try the Single link cable? I am pretty sure i have tried everything, and am desperate to get a DVI signal going to my monitor instead of the VGA.
-thanks, grant

Do a Google search on "FPD2185W Mac" and you'll see quite a few problem reports. It seems like the Gateway display is the problem and just won't work properly with some Macs.

Hi TonyD,

We have limited information regarding the part number of the docking station (parts or accessories) of your unit. You may visit https://sony.encompass.com/ or call them for further assistance. They will be asking for the serial number or service tag number of your unit. They will be able to help you out as well about the parts and accessories of your unit.

I just bought a docking station for my iPad so I could plug into a mixing board and record a live show. I was disappointed at the time limitation for the recordings. What is the maximum amount you can record a song into GB for the iPad?

I purchased a docking station for my iPad so that I could record a live recording of my band directly from a mixing board this weekend using GarageBand. Unfortunately, I was unaware of the song length limitations of the iPad version of this program. Basically, was unable to capture more than 15 minutes of the gig. I've read other conversations on this forum and can't really determine the maximum amount of time this application can record. Can anyone tell me how long GarageBand for ipad can record at one single time and how to adjust the settings to achieve this? Also, is anyone aware of any other apps than could be used to record a longer please share. Thanks.
CP

I received an email reply from George, the Founder and CEO of Studiomini, he indicated to me that their app does not have any time limitations in regards to recording like GB does, you are only limited by the amount of free space on your iPad. Fo what it's worth, I think the Alesis IO Dock is an amazing piece of equipment. I would highly recommend purchasing the IO Dock and plugging your mixing board into the dock to capture your rehearsal. Hopefully the feedback I received from Studiomini is accurate and I can capture my entire rehearsal at one time. I hope this feedback helps. One last note, apparently their will be a update soon to view Studiomni in the landscape view on the iPad instead of just the portrait view.

Syncing Classic with USB killed docking station for my Nano

I have two libraries in Itunes, one for music and one for books. I use my Nano for music. After I organized a second library for books, I bought a Classic. It uses a USB cable. After my first hookup of the Classic, syncing the book library. The firewire docking station for my Nano no longer will connect that Ipod to Itunes. I can charge, but not sync. Is this a new feature from Apple or does Itune now only recognize Ipod thru the USB port? I can sync the Nano with USB, but I like the docking station

I do not think that your USB docking station is faulty. I use it all the time.
What killed my ipods (resulting in exactly your problem) was the update to firmware 1.1.2. I am on my fifth !! ipod classic (courtesy of technical support/ genius bar at the apple store) as they are not as solid as the older models and
may go wrong quicker, despite much more enhanced functions. Touch wood mine is working fine now.
In the mean time, you could try a hard/factory reset of your ipod:
apple doc: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
Interesting may also be "hidden" ipod commands:

Hope you can sort it.

No display when connect DVI-D dual link cable

Hi
I am using MS-6398 motherboard and I have the latest Bios 5.60. when I connect DVI-D dual link cable from ATI All-In-Wonder 8500DV graphic card to my SONY SDM-M81 Flat Panel. There is no display at all during POST as well as after boot up. It has display only if I connect with regular analog VGA cable. I have contacted the ATI tech support and they ask me to contact the manufacturer of my motherboard because it don't have display during POST which is nothing to do with driver.
thanks,
Siong

DVI-D port on the Ultradock is single link only.
If you need DVI-D at dual link resolution (i.e. 2560x1600), you need an active displayport to dual link converter. Startech makes them, they should be around 80 USD or something of that region.

Looking for competent docking station for iPhone 3GS

I'm having a terrible time finding a good docking station for my new iPhone 3GS. Before I bought it I used a 5th generation iPod 60GB. I have a belkin usb hub/dock for it that works great. When my computer is off it charges the iPod, and it's a powered usb hub as well. Occasionally I would plug in an AV cable to watch content I purchased from iTunes on my TV.
I'm now trying to find a dock with equivalent or better abilities for the iPhone 3GS, and I'm coming up empty. Here's what I need in order of importance:
1. *Plug into AC and charge iPhone when Mac is off, while still being connected via USB so that it will sync automatically when Mac is on.*
2. Pass through dock connector to another dock connector on back so that I can connect Apple composite cables to TV, via the dock.
3. Powered USB hub with 2 or more usb ports.
4. A media card reader would be a really nice plus and make it perfect.
The closest I've found is the Griffin Simplifi, however the FAQ for it on their website states this:
"Will the Simplifi charge my iPod or iPhone while my computer's powered off or asleep?
Even though the Simplifi has its own power supply, your iPod or iPhone requires an active USB connection to charge. This means that the Simplifi will not charge your device if your computer is powered off or asleep."
I'm pretty sure their explanation is technically inaccurate, and simply a way of trying to shift the blame for their stupidity on to Apple. Nevertheless it makes this dock utterly useless (see item 1 above).
Is there any way to accomplish what I need, or is it hopeless?

Costco was, and may still be selling, the iHome Model iD95.... I think this model is only carried by Costco. Other retailers such as Amazon.com sell the iHome iD83 App-Enhanced 30-pin iPod/iPhone/iPad Alarm Clock Speaker Dock. See the description of this model at Amazon.com. Both my model and the one on Amazon.com are described as a HOME SYSTEM for your iPad. It has a dock on the top of the AM-FM Radio which will accommodate either an iPad, iPod or iPhone (up to model 4s). If you have an iPhone5 or newest iPad, you can get a "30 pin to lightning" adapter to accommodate. I just got an iPhone 5, and ordered the "30 pin to Lightning" adapter, so that I can once again use my iPhone on the dock. It has 2 alarms, and numerous other features, including a battery backup, digital display, it charges your iPad/iPod/iPhone, and it has pretty darn good stereo speakers. It's easy to adjust the base and treble. Price when I bought it in September, was $79.95 and there was a $20 coupon. It is easy to program music or Pandora from an iPhone/iPod/iPad, and can even program for music or Pandora before going to sleep and shuts itself off at a specified time, and then can turn on the radio or an alarm, or music or Pandora at a specified time in the morning. I'm happy with it.

Does 785GM-E51 DVI support dual link?

I am considering buying the 785GM-E51 motherboard which comes with a DVI port (as well as HDMI and VGA of course).
Will the DVI support dual link? If so, what is the maximum resolution I could have on the two monitors (say, at 60 Hz with high colour depth)?
Cheers!
jcarrete

Please clarify your question, dual link has nothing to do with being able to use two displays.
"Dual-link should not be confused with dual display (also called dual head), which describes those situations where a computer is hooked up to two monitors at once. "
That quote from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface
That been said I think you should be able to have 2 displays, 1 DVI or HDMI + VGA You can't have 2 digital out at the same time though, DVI + HDMI.

Is there a docking station for ipad mini

Is there a docking station for ipad mini which you listen to music on?
I have bought a logitec docking station but it has the older bigger charger fitting..!!

Most commercial Docks are still only compatible with the 30 pin connector.
For newer devices such as the iPAd 4 and mini and the iPhone 5, some manufacturers are putting out a few docks but there are limited.Once such dock is the JBL OnBeat Micro.
http://www.jbl.com/estore/jbl/us/products/JBL-OnBeat-Micro/JBL%20ONBEAT%20MICRO_ JBL_US?skuId=JBLONBEATMICBLKAM_JBL_US&searchMode=regularProductOnly
However for the most part, wireless speakers are the way to go for these devices with the new connector.
Either thrue Airplay or Bluetooth.

Universal docking station for Lenovo T430 and X201

Hello,
I'm looking for a universal docking station for both my T430 en my X201 laptop.
It has to have a minimum of 2 usb ports + a HDMI exit to connect to my TV. A displayport (normal or mini) is also ok.
THX in advance for the help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You would need usb port replicator options, but do note that these devices require usb 3.0 ports. So for your X201 you may need need to get an expresscard usb 3.0 adapter.

Docking station for iPhone?

I've been trying to find one, but I can't. Regular docking stations for iPods don't work. Any advice?

You should look for one that is certified for use with the iphone.(I don't think there are any currently.) The reason is that some of those devices will put out too much voltage, and potentially cause damage to the iphone.
If you choose to get one that is not certified for use with the iphone, you will get a prompt asking if you want to put it in airplane mode. Doing so will eliminate the signal noise from the phone, but will not allow you to make/recieve phone calls while it is connected.
You can choose to ignore the message if you choose...
Good luck...

Need expansion port 3 docking station for dv6-1211ax for home use .... suggestions please ...

i have a dv6-1211ax laptop and planning to get a hp expansion port 3 based docking station for home use ... can anyone suggest or comment on how they really perform ..

I have a pair of HP XB4 Notebook Media Docking Stations being used on two DV7s. I think they work quite well, unlike the current docking stations they use the expansion port 3 and you can power both the laptop and the docking stations from a single power supply. Speaker sound especially subwoofer is much better than the laptops (these are 2009 and 2010 model DV7s so they have the Altec Lansing speakers (as does the docking station) vs. the 2011 laptop Beats Audio.
I also like the way the docking station raises the laptop 6-8 inches above desk level.
Do make sure your system is using the expansion port 3 though since at least some of the 2011 systems no longer have the expansion port (the connection from the station to the laptop is via USB 2.0 hopefully at some time the new docking stations will be updated to use USB 3.0) along with the laptops.
For a laptop that is being used a Desktop replacement I would highly recommend the XB4
p.s since HP doesn't sell them anymore you may have to go to Ebay, Amazon or a wholeseller)

Need docking station for Pavilion ZV5000

Anybody know where I can get a docking station for a Pavilion ZV5000? The quickdock doesn't state it would work on the ZV models.

The dv5000 has a side docking port and uses the big ES234AA#ABA docking station. Here it is on ebay but you can do way better than this price if you look around a bit:

Is there a docking station for the MBP yet?

Is there a docking station for the MBP yet?
Just wondering?

what are they for exactly. it looks like it plugs into the ports on one side. then the other side... the same ports. so what does it do?
EDIT...ok i read up on it. so its basically something you would leave at work so you just plug the dock in and use unstead of having to unplug and replug anything you use specifically for work? i see lol.
