Rotate Option for Dell 2408WFP on a G5 with GeForce FX5200

I have a G5 with a GeForce 5200 and a Dell 2408WFP 24" swivel monitor. On the G4 I was using, an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro card.
The G5 does not show a "Rotate" option in the display preference pane. Is there an update I can do to enable rotation?
If not, can the ATI card be made to fit into the G5?
If not, what is my least expensive option?
Thanks,
Majrtom

The slots don't seem to line up. Am I missing something?
You are trying to install the Radeon card in place of the Geforce, correct?
There is only one AGP slot.
The other slots are PCI, and will not accept an AGP card.

Turn off zoom & rotate options for trackpad

I use Photoshop and Word with my new MacBook, and the new zoom and rotate features for the trackpad are absolutely infuriating! It often rotates and zooms the photos I'm working on, or zooms the word document, because my fingers might barely graze the surface of this new, larger trackpad. And Apple decided not to make these features optional in the System Preferences. So it's a real bother to my workflow. Does anybody know how to a) turn it off, or b) get Apple to put together an update that will allow us to toggle all the features in the system preferences?
Thanks,
Ian

Thanks, but that doesn't actually address the problem I have. Let's be very specific, so as to avoid all the other confusions that were in the post you referenced.
I am not referring to "screen zoom" which zooms the entire screen.
I am not referring to anything dealing with Safari or Firefox.
I am only referring to the rotate and zoom features in System Preferences > Trackpad for the new MacBook; these features do not have a toggle on/off choice for the no-button trackpad. In certain applications, e.g. Adobe Photoshop, this rotate and zoom function is worse than useless.
The bundles and other plug ins that people made work specifically for web browsers, and I need something that disables zoom and rotate system wide, or at least for my personal choice of applications. Does anyone have a solution? Does anyone know an insider at Apple that can write a patch for this?

No Scaling Option for Dell WQHD IPS Monitor

I have a Dell UltraSharp U2713HM which have a Native Resolution2560 x 1440 at 60 Hz .
I used MDP to DP cable ant my new macbook pro retina is driving it @Native Resolution2560 x 1440 at 60 Hz just fine.
My RMBP's "Colour LCD" is scaling perfectly. but my U2713HM have no scaling options like RMBP screen.
I can Downgrade resolution to 1080p or something other than that there is no option.
I see some videos on youtube that OS X support 4k display with same scaling options on my RMBP display.
On my U2713HM native resolution looks good but difficult to browse Facebook etc.
it is too small. if i downscale resolution it is not as good as 2560 x 1440.
How to solve this problem?
This is my first mac

Hi Rich,
Normally I wouldn't recommend cross-posting, but if this isn't a MBP hardware issue, there is also a Windows Compatibility forum you may want to post in. Good luck.

I want to know why I can no longer get payment options for an online game I play with the firefox browser?

when I try to purchase items on my online game I can no longer buy them.For some reason firefox stops the payment options from showing.I choose what I want to buy but when it comes to paying for it thats when nothing happens.No payment option is offered.All that is there is what I have picked to buy.Before it would offer payment options when I had picked what I wanted to purchase but this no longer happens and no payment options are given.It is left like that until I stop and just leave.I would like to know why it now does this?
I got offered firefox beta and installed it.That is when it started doing this.I have cleared my cache,browser and history then restarted firefox a number of times now and still the problem persists.Can you please assist me please to somehow put it right back to the way it was before.Thank you for your time.

GPU acceleration fix for Dell Intel and Nvidia chipsets with external monitor?

I have a Dell XPS laptop with both integrated Intel chips and Nvidia chips and I can only get the GPU acceleration to work when I don't have any external monitors plugged in.
Is there some way I can get Illustrator to enable the Nvidia GPU and stop being confused by multiple chipsets on external monitors? I really like the live zoom.

same problem here,
'm getting a little frustrated trying to get my laptop working with my LG DLP 3D ready projector to display in 3D. The projector itself will work in 3D as long as the resolution is 1024x768@120hz and the laptop's NVidia GTX 770M should have no issues driving the projector with this resolution.
Where it seems like the problems occur is Intel HD 4600 graphics driver gets in the way every time i try to run anything 3D, the software Im using to run any 3D type files do not recognize the projector as a 3D capable device because all the laptop is using is the Intel HD 4600 graphics.
If I could somehow turn off the Intel graphics and just force the laptop to just use the NVidia card I think all my issues will go away. I just am not having success in doing this.
I have tried to go into the NVidia control panel and under 3D settings pick the software program that runs my 3D files and tell it to use the NVidia card...but it never works.
I think everything is sent through the Intel graphics card regardless if the laptop is using the NVidia card (just guessing here)?
I also tried to simply uninstall the drivers but that did not work,
I also tried to disable the Intel graphics but it then went into some type of generic display driver mode and still would not work.
I also went into the BIOS to look for any settings that would allow me to disable the Intel graphics card ..no luck, could not find any settings for this.
Can someone help me with this? how can I disable the Intel graphics and force the laptop to just use the NVidia card all the time?
Thanks!!

Options for read/write form field data with VBA/Reader

I have a project which requires reading and writing field data to a PDF form using VBA in PowerPoint. The code I have works properly with the full version of Acrobat, but the client this project is for will be using Reader. I'm looking for suggestions to what options I have to be able to access the form field data (I don't need any other features other than access to the field data). Ideally, I would love a solution which doesn't require the client to install anything extra for this to work, but I'm assuming that this isn't possible without an extra install.
Is there a library that exists in Reader (or could be licensed to be installed on the client's machine) that would allow the data to be read without needing the full version of Acrobat?
Does a plug-in exist for Reader, or could be written, that would allow this? Writing a plug-in would certainly be beyond my current capabilities, but I am interested in knowing every and any choices that are available.
Are there any other options to do what I need to do?
I had originally thought about exporting the form data and parsing it in the VBA program, but this would take a bit more work to write the parsing routine instead of accessing the fields directly. Plus, it appears to me that Exporting is not enabled in Reader.
Thanks for any insight you may be able to provide.

Thanks for the response; this was my original suggestion, but I don't think this is feasable for our client. I suggested to our account people that this might be the only way to do this (and the easiest, although possibly the costliest since it would have to be purchased for their entire sales force) and they initially said that this would not be an option, so I wanted to be able to cover all the bases, and explore any other ways that they could do what they want. Is this the absolute only option to do this?
Someone also suggested to me that licensing the Acrobat PDF Library SDK might be a way to do this, or that it could possibly be done with a plug-in for Reader (although from what I have found, Reader plug-ins would have to be approved by Adobe). These options, if possible, are beyond my current knowledge but I do want to be able to give them a complete list of possibilities.
Thanks again.

I can't get download to work - it will not copy the mp3 file to my chosen location (as set in tools/options) - it gives me a new window with a player - no dwnlo

I am running windows xp sp2 and I have set my dowload location under (tools/options), but when I select an MP3 file to download, firefox does NOT copy the file to my chosen location on my HD - instead, it opens up a new window with a makeshift "player" and begins loading the player with the MP3 file. The problem is that I have no idea where on my system firefox has copied this file to, so, I cannot leave and come back later and play this MP3 file using winamp. I have to listen to it right then or lose it - if I close that new window (with that puny little "player"), then I lose the download, wherever firefox put it on my PC (I got no idea where it is). This is all under firefox 25.0
I am also running FIrefox 12.0 on an older windows 2000 machine and that works perfectly - I can download any MP3 file I want, and firefox 12.0 (on win2k, sp4) downloads it to my chosen location (on my HD), and it gives me the download window so I can watch its progress and have some control over pause, and resume, and, when it is done, the download window offers me the option to "open containing folder" so I can make sure it got to where I wanted it. In other words, Firefox 12.0 on WIn2k, sp4 works better than firefox 25.0 on winxp sp2!!!!! What gives? I went through and set up my options for XP just like I did with Win2k and it all looks good, but firefox 25.0 just ignores my chosen location and always defaults to give me that makeshift player and I am not able to actually copy the mp3 file to my harddrive - it makes firerox 25.0 almost unusable since downloading mp3 files is a big part of my firexfox use - please help - I am not able to upgrade windows at this time, and, since firefox 12.0 still works fine on win2k, I can't understand what happened at firefox?

Phillipp,
I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

Dell 2408WFP w/ Mac Pro?

Does anyone know if the screen rotate feature on the Dell 2408WFP works with the ATI Radeon HD 2600 card installed in an early 2008 Mac Pro Quad-Core? Also, overall is this a pretty good monitor? I'm looking to upgrade my 20" ACD.
Thanks!

I have a new Macbook Pro with a new Dell 2407WFP-HC monitor. Dell of course does not support MAC nor do they make drivers for MACs. I haven't calibrated the monitor yet, but plan on doing so using Spyder2. The picture quality is great, however, it has a very distinct softness to it especially compared to my Macbook Pro picture and the when I use the monitor with a PC. Does anyone else have this problem or have any solutions? Thanks.

Pink Tint 23" ACD (when compared to dell 2408WFP)

I purchased my 23" aluminum ACD back in 2005. I have the M9178LL/A model.
I never thought I had a problem with this display. I am a video editor and it always seemed to serve me well. However, I recently purchased a secondary monitor, Dell 2408WFP (only because the ACD 23" have been discontinued) and was shocked to realize that when placed next to my ACD, it's very obvious that the colors are way off. The ACD has a very obvious pink overtone about it. Whites especially, but overall it is very off. This also seems to dull other colors. Projects that I worked on in the past all look slightly off color-wise on the new monitor because of this. It seems the compressing of files to H.264 saved me from my work being a complete mess to the world (as compression usually slightly dulls colors, and all my raw projects are way over-saturated because of the dullness of this display).
Some quick reading makes me realize that this was an issue with a group of ACD's and I'm wondering if there's any chance apple would care that my monitor is not giving (and has never given) accurate color representation - even though I'm only noticing it 4 years after purchase. And what my options are (if any) at this point. Upon realizing this I re-ran the color calibration in advanced settings which I haven't done since the original purchase, no change - it's the display. Not it's calibration settings.
Thanks for taking the time to look this over, looking forward to your opinions.

I guess it partly depends on which specs are important to you.
The Samsung seems a typical consumer oriented display, ideal for playing games and watching movies, due to the pixel response time and bright colours etc.
The Apple seems more pro oriented with faithful colour reproduction, wider viewing angles (typical not 'up to') and a list of accreditations as long as your arm. Also I expect the 'high gloss' enclosure of the Samsung display may be thought of as an unwelcome distraction on an Apple display.

I cannot find information to help me change the orientation of a video filmed in portrait format but only able to be played back lying on its side (landscape) instead of upright. All the rotation buttons for iPhoto are not 'engaged' when it is in video .

Thanks OT,
I tried the Export function but it would not allow me to choose the option of exporting to iMovie. I think you are right about needing Quicktime Pro. I opened iMovie and imported the clip from iPhoto and with some searching found the 'cropping, rotation' mechanism. So I now have a copy in the correct orientation. I plan to import/export it back to iPhoto because I want to have a copy on my iPhone to show people and I wanted to have it available as part of a slideshow I am making in iPhoto of my recent overseas trip. It is a pain that there is no simple orientating tool for the movie clips downloaded to iPhoto with the photos from the one camera.

IMac (8,1) As Display for Dell Laptop...

Hi All! I just picked up a Dell Inspirion laptop for expanded music production (FL Studio) but the screen is a bit small for my liking as I'm used to the 21.5 screen of the iMac. I wanted to know, is it possible to use the iMac as a display for the Dell? SInce this is a pretty old model of the iMac (8,1) it doesn't support Thunderbolt; so with the other options, will it be able to work? If so, how? Thanks in advance for the answers!

Not directly, no. Your iMac doesn't support Target Disk Mode that would allow you to connect another computer directly. Whether there's software that would allow the iMac to be used as a network display for a Windows system, as ScreenRecycler does to allow another computer as a second display for a Mac, I don't know, but that would be your only option for using the iMac as a second display.
Otherwise, you can take control of your Dell from your Mac via Microsoft's Remote Desktop Client. But it might be more time and cost effective to just pick up a larger LCD screen for your laptop. You can find 24" LCD monitors for well under $200 these days.
Regards.

Dell 2408WFP at mac mini over hdmi

I have an new mac mini server, where I try to connect an Dell 2408WFP to over hdmi.
Besides the problems with shadows around the letters in written text and menus, which I solved by setting the resolution to 1600x1000, I have a big color problem, which I can't solve by any calabrating procedure. Green and blue colors are dominating, and all brown to red colors are reduced or missing. For example the Icon of the addressbook appears not in this standard beige color but in green. As you can imagine, this is the absolute kill for any work on images. Since the Dell monitor is a good standard one, which I never had any problems with before, there must be a problem with hdmi ore even worse with the graphics of the mac mini.
Has anybody similar experiences and found a solution. I bought the hdmi cable expecting to have the best connection possible then, and to have only one cable between the mac mini and the monitor. Are there any limitations in the hdmi-standard concerning resolution and color management? I didn't test any dvi cable yet, since I am still hoping to find a solution for this problem.

I have exactly the same issues as you, ie the lack of clear / sharp text and the colour management problem. Did you get anywhere with this?
I was using this Dell display with Windows 7 and had none of these problems. I calibrated the display using a semi-professional calibration utility (i1Profiler / Eye-one Match) and the results under Windows were great. But with the Mac Mini I find that many colours lack saturation. Yellows are very faint, and reds look more like a brown-orange. I tried replacing the HDMI cable with a DVI cable and the Mac HDMI -> DVI converter but I don't see any improvement.
Interestingly I find that the text looks best at the monitor's native resolution, ie 1920 x 1200 but it's still nowhere as crisp as text is under Windows.
For me the colour management issue is the biggest problem. I do lots of underwater photography and I just wouldn't dare work on any of my photos with the display as it is.
The profile I find works the best is sRGB IEC61966-2.1 but it's way off being natural / correct.
I specifically bought the Dell display as it has variable height and fits neatly in the corner off my office where the height is limited, I don't have room for a 27" thunderbolt display even if I could find the funds (~$1600 in the UK!)
I'm running 10.7.2 (Lion) in case it makes a difference.

Error in MIR7 - Different Material Vendor planned for del. costs item in PO

Dear All,
We getting error during MIR7.
We add two freight condtion ZFRO and ZFRT in purchase order as below :
ZFRO = we have add Rs. 350 against freight to Vendor(MATERIAL VENDOR)
ZFRT = We have add Rs. 100 for local freight which is paid to FREIGHT VENDOR directly (cash payment) i.e. paid for Transporter's Godown to our factory.
Now during MIGO, store department has enter as :
1. ZFRT (Freight Vendor - FREIGHT VENDOR)
2. ZFRO (Freight Vendor - MATERIAL VENDOR)
Now during MIR7 we are getting following error :
Different Material Vendor 300255 planned for del. costs item in PO 4500028018
(300255 is FREIGHT VENDOR which is at Number 1 in freight tab of MIGO)
Thanks and Regards,
Nirav

For good and service,
In MIR7, select the option Goods/Service Item
First do only for Good/Service item...
After that, in MIR7 select only Planned Delivery cost and give the same PO number..
Then you will receive a pop-up message to choose vendor..
Here select one vendor and press continue..
Then save you invoice..
And again do the same and just select the other vendor..
You can see 3 invoice number in PO history..
One for goods charges and another two for freight charges..

Please help! New PC with Windows 7, now won't give option for duplex Color Laserjet 2605dn

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help. I have an HP Color Laserjet 2605dn, and after 4 years with a Dell laptop (and Windows XP) I had to get a new computer, this one with Windows 7. When I plugged in the printer for the first time, it loaded drivers and seemed to work great - EXCEPT there is NO option for duplex printing in the effects or finishing areas. So I went to the HP website and downloaded the Universal Print Driver, which DOES have duplex, but it won't print to the 2605dn printer!!!
I am ready to throw this out the window. I don't recommend buying anything new while you have PMS...hahahaha. Seriously, if someone could help, my stress level would drop dramatically. I print a lot, and not doing it duplex would waste so much paper!
Thanks in advance.

Enable the duplexer as described in the Vista / Windows 7 Duplex Troubleshooting Guide as follows: go to Start, Devices and Printers, right click on the printer, Printer properties, Device settings, Installable Options, set the "Duplex unit for 2-sided printing" to installed, OK.

FCoE options for Cisco UCS and Compellent SAN

Hi,
We have a Dell Compellent SAN storage with iSCSI and FCoE module in pre-production environment.
It is connected to new Cisco UCS infrastructure (5108 Chassis with 2208IOM + B200 M2 Blades + 6248 Fabric Interconnect) via 10G iSCSI module (FCoE module isn't being used at th is moment).
I reviewed compatibility matrix on interconnect but Compellent (Dell) SAN is only supported on FI NXOS 1.3(1), 1.4(1) without using 6248 and 2208 IOM which is what we have. I'm sure some of you have similar hardware configuration as ours and I'd like to see if there's any supportive Cisco FC/FCoE deployment option for the Compellent. We're pretty tight on budget at this moment so purchasing couple of Nexus 5K switches or something equipvalent for such a small number of chassis (only only have one) is not a preferred option. If additional hardware acquisition is inevitable, what would be the most cost effective solution to be able to support FCoE implementation?
Thank you in advance for your help on this.

Unfortunatly there isn't really one - with direct attach storage there is still the requirement that an upstream MDS/N5k pushes the zoning to it. Without a MDS to push the zoning the system it's recommended for production.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/gui/config/guide/2.0/b_UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_2_0_chapter_0101.html#concept_05717B723C2746E1A9F6AB3A3FFA2C72
Even if you had a MDS/N5K the 6248/2208's wouldn't support the Compellent SAN - see note 9.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/mds9000/interoperability/matrix/Matrix8.pdf
That's not to say that it won't work, it's just that we haven't tested it and don't know what it will do and thus TAC cannot troubleshoot SAN errors on the UCS.
On the plus side iSCSI if setup correctly can be very solid and can give you a great amount of throughput - just make sure to configure the QoS correctly and if you need more throughput then just add some additional links
