Strange things with dvi to HDMI

ok I have a MBP and I've had no issues with the output but I just tried to play a DVD on my HD TV (dvi to hdmi) and found that IceAge had a lot of pink and green lines, bit like ghosting . These lines where say where the white colour would become gray so no stripes and the like but maked the film look really bad.
Sorry for the ramble but anyone with ideas?

Check your cable and or connections. Also try to wiggle the cable and see if the symptom changes.

Strange things with keyboard

strange things with keyboard happens on my macbook - after cleaning keyboard (rag with spirit) I start mac and get sticky key (continuously type one letter and beeping on speaker). I shutdown mac, remove key and clean space under it... it helps - but I found other strange bug:
pressing left shift - gives me capital letter "O"
letter "O" - always capitalized
| symbol always comes with return button
now I use external keyboard - all good on it... but macbook keyboard still wont work properly
what can it be? how fix it?
ps: sorry for my eng

thanks for your reply, and you might be right about using USB v2.0. The PS/2-USB adapters I am using are v.1.0 so may be incompatible, even though this technology is supposed to be backward-compatable.
Since this problem reared its ugly head, I have disabled the Toshiba applications and monitored the situation - OK so far, but I will keep an eye on it.

Strange thing with ExternalInterface when profiling

Hello.
I use Scout for analyze application and found out strange thing with ExternalInterface:
I regularly get some overheads with ExternalInterface._evalJS. But I don't any explicit calls of ExternalInterface.call during this overheads. Does it mean that ExternalInterface make internal interactions during flash player lifecycle, or something else?

From the screenshot, it looks like you've registered an anonymous function as the callback for a "timer" event (the "MethodInfo-xxx" is an auto-generated name that Flash gives to anonymous functions), and this function is calling into ExternalInterface. It's your code (or possibly that of a framework you're using) - not internal Flash player functionality.

Mini to a Philips W/S, HD tv with dvi to hdmi

ok, so i finally got the display to gome up regularly, i just bought a 30 in, wide screen philips hd with a hdmi hookup in the back. i got a dvi to hdmi cord with it, and i got the diplay to show up fine in 720x480 rez, but the whole point of the new screen was so i could run imovie hd. i had my mini hooked up to an old monitor that i used the adaptor for. the only other rez higher is 1920x1080, and i think i need 1080x720, or whatever the minimum rez for imovie is. when i run the 1920 rez, everything is on screen (as long as overscan is off, took me a while to figure that out) but very very small and it donsen't seem right. i can at least use it on the new monitor, but i still cant run imovie because i cant read a **** thing. any help would be much appreciated. pleaze? anyone? i hope i can find out before it's too late to return this thing...

Controlling screen size with DVI to HDMI

I have a Mac mini attached to my 50 inch Pioneer plasma via DVI to HDMI cable. I also have an Apple TV, but I brought the Mac, because I can use iTunes to play video playlists (The Apple TV can't do this yet). And for the most part, the Mac/Plasma hookup works excellent. However, once in a while, when I switch HDMI inputs, or the Mac goes to sleep and awakes, the screen gets off 'kilter' (e.g., the desktop overshoots the borders of the TV). The only way to get it back to normal again, is to power everything off and unhook / rehook the DVI to HDMI cable. I would use VGA, but the screen looks clearer, brigher with HDMI, and I the videos through iTunes fill the screen better. I tried the Gefen DVI detective, but that didn't seem to work. Is there anything else I can try ? I see the Res X program listed here in many posts, but not sure if this would help and not sure how to configure to solve issue....Thanks.

It sounds to me like it is the TV that is failing to hold onto a setting, not the Mac. Can you find evidence of this? There must be various modes controlling the size/aspect ratio of how video is displayed on the plasma. I would check the settings before and after the problem occurs to see if, in fact, the setting is changing under the conditions you describe of either the Mac waking from sleep or the HDMI input on the TV being switched away from and then back to. If you can confirm it is the TV that is behaving this way, then you need to find out why, possibly taking the matter up with Pioneer.

Help needed because of strange things with Lollipop!

Hello everyone. I've updated to Lollipop 5.0.2 .... But some strange things are happening.
I've updated using PC companion. When I finished downloading the update files from the Net
,and I've turned off my phone so the update starts. After 1 minute something wrong went with my
computer. It restarts by itself. So my phone didn't boot anymore. I tried to reupdate it, but
that couldn't be done cause the phone is not booting. So I had one option, which is to do
a system repair to repair my phone. I did it and I succeed. So my phone is now updated to lollipop
, but of course all the data in the phone were wiped out. This is not a problem, I can redownload the apps I want.
The problem is that on Kitkat I used to play a game called ( plants vs zombies ) , but on Lollipop
Whenever I open the game it shuts down after half a minute. I thought the problem was
because I moved it to the SD card, so I moved it to the internal storage of my phone
but no change. It still shuts down by itself.
Another thing is that when I install an app, in normal state there are moving lines from the above
to show that the app is installing . Sometimes those lines disappear , I don't know if this is a problem or not.
This is a screenshot of the fault.As you can see , the line is still. There must be lines moving inside it.Thanks.

Hi! Sorry, I've been busy and hadn't gone on the forum for about 2 weeks haha. Uhm I do not experience the problem anymore it was a long time ago, from where do you download your APK files? I used 1MobileMarket for the download of PvZ2 but I receive updates via Google PlayStore. The only thing I can suggest is that you uninstall it, try downloading it vis 1MobileMarket and see if it works. If not I really don't know what the problem is.. I had my problems with PvZ on the Z, not the Z2, but it was the same you are experiencing with the game. I did notice that whenever I did a factory reset or system repair, I'd lose all my PvZ gaming data although I had my Google Play Account logged it to sync my data. As for the lines while installing the app; If the apps work normal after installing (the lines still didn't show up or disappeared) I don't think it might be such a problem. As long as you can run the apps. Hope this helps!

Strange problem with mac mini hdmi, denon avr 3310 and itunes

Hello,
I just bought the new mac mini with HDMI. It is connected via HDMI to my receiver Denon AVR 3310. The receiver shows that it has "multi channel in" on the display.
I made all the configurations so that i can watch dvd an the mac mini. When i play a movie with Dolby Digital the receiver does show that on the display and playback is possible without any problems. I hear sound on all my 5.1 speakers.
The big problem is with iTunes. When I want to watch rented series, for example Dr. House, only 2 speakers of my 5.1 are used. And when I change to surround in iTunes I can only hear static noise.
What is the problem? Did I make a wrong configuration or is something wrong with iTunes?
Thanks in advance

Great news! My Mac mini is sending true 5.1 to my reciever through the HDMI cable! Okay so here's my list of gear.
MAC MINI 2011 2.5 i5 8gb ram
Using a quality audioquest hdmi I have connected my Mac mini to my Denon 1712 Reciever. I have connected this hdmi cable into hdmi port entitled game 2. I have connect my reciever to my tv with a monster 1000 hdx thx certified hdmi cable. It has a transmission sped of 17 gb or so...meaning it can handle transmitting 3d...if only I had a 3d tv.
Okay so that's the gear. Now onto the changes in audio midi. Open audio midi and Simply change it to 48000 hz and to 2 channel 16 bit integer. That's all I did and now it works. Before I had it set to 8 channel 24 bit and when I pulled up my surround sound options I could pretty much only get multi channel stereo. Now I can get several Dolby choices.
The voices are coming out of the center speaker and all the action is coming out of the other speakers....so in other words 5.1 surround sound has been achieved on my Mac mini 2011 which has Lion on it.
I have tested this with iTunes and Netflix. Both are in 5.1 and sound great. In iTunes I have tested both music and digital copies of movies. Both worked flawlessly.
Rejoice Mac mini owners 5.1 surround is now possible over your Mac mini 2011 edition with just an hdmi cable to your reciever. You can throw away that toslink cable becuase now you don't need it!
I hope this works for you. Remember not all hdmi cables and the same holds true for your reciever. If it does not work consider getting either audioquest or monster....everything else is junk.

Strange things with checkbox

Hi! I have a strange problem: In liveCycle Designer ES 8.2 I have on Master Page checkbox "mycheckbox".
My code:
if(mycheckbox.rawValue == "0")
    myPage.presence = "visible";
else if(mycheckbox.rawValue == "1")
    myPage.presence = "hidden";
When I clicked on mycheckbox happen strange things - mycheckbox will not be checked! I don't understand what is wrong.
Matthew

Hello mathew,
If you keep any interactive fields in the Master page like text field or check box, as Malcolm said you will loose the values in it.
This happens only when you try to hide some pages. because the form will be remerged again and it can bring back the values entered in the fields present only in      the body page. It will not hold any values entered for the master page. That is why your check box is behaving wierd. To get more clarity on this, keep a text field in the master page, and on its exit event, try to hide one of your pages on the form. When you preview the form and type the value on text field and exit from it, the text field will become null and also your required page will be hidden.
Your problem solution:
    For the check fields you want to have in Master page, maintain the duplicate hidden check fields in one of the body page. Try to assign the checked values to the hidden fields in the change event of check fields and retrieve the values back to the masterpage checkfields in the exit event.
This below should work for you in the events of master page checkbox:
form1.#pageSet[0].MasterPage1.CheckBox1::change - (JavaScript, client)
form1.page1.CheckBox2.rawValue = this.rawValue;
form1.page1.TextField2.rawValue = this.rawValue;
if (this.rawValue = 0)
page2.presence = "hidden";else
page2.presence = "visible";
form1.#pageSet[0].MasterPage1.CheckBox1::ready:layout - (JavaScript, client)
this.rawValue = form1.page1.CheckBox2.rawValue;
Hope this helps.

Chaitanya

Strange thing with set update calc

Hello, i see a strange behavior with intelligent calculation, In my outline i have the time dimension like this, Year Qtr1 Jan Feb Mar Qtr2 Qtr3 Qtr4 When I run a calc script: SET UPDATE CALC OFF; SET CACHE HIGH; SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH; fix("member") calc dim(D1,D2,D3,D4,..); endfix; I see values of quarters are tripled and further the values of year is quadrupled (a total of 12 times). When removed SET UPDATECALC OFF; it works fine Do someone has any insight into this Thanks Rama 

The calc engine doesn't evaluate a time rollup outside of the time dimension... Each dimension has it's own rules for aggregation, and they are evaluated one dimension at a time. So, once you have your quarter total for say, "New York City", it will be added to all the other cities in "NY State" to get the state total. This "NY State" quarter total for product "x" will then be added to all the other "NY State" quarter totals for any other products to get the product rollups, etc... Of course, this is based on a Time, Location, Product sequence. Another way to look at this, is that only when the Time dimension is being aggregated will the rollup for "Jan", "Feb", and "Mar" be used to calculate "Qtr 1". If you need a concrete analogy, examine the way row totals and column totals are used in excel to obtain a grand total, you could do the sequence in either way (assuming a simple sum). Where intelligent calc fits in: now assume with your row and column totals that only one cell is modified... You need to recalc the row total, the column total, and the grand total. The row and column totals are direct dependents (formula wise), while the grand total is directly dependent on the recalculated row/column totals. This progression continues until all known dependent roll-ups/formulas have been evaluated. HTH

Using both MDP adapter with DVI to HDMI adapter supplied by Apple

I may be missing something here but I want to be able to use both the above adapters in order to run two DVI screens on my late 2012 Mini. Because of the shape of the HDMI-DVI adapter supplier by Apple being too wide, the MDP adapter will not physically fit into the port situated next the HDMI port. This seems crazy! Does anyone have any ideas please?
Thanks in advance.

My MDP is an Apple product and the same as the link you posted.
My HDMI to DVI adapter supplied with the Mini is this one here, I believe.
http://uk.startech.com/Cables/Audio-Video/Video-Adapter/HDMI-to-DVI-D-Video-Cabl e-Adapter-M-F~HDMIDVIMF
The shape of the HDMI to DVI adapter will not allow the MDP to be inserted into the back of the Mini.

Nvidia 8600gt with DVI to HDMI cable on Samsung 32'' screen

hi, got setup arch on a friend's pc with the title's featured for viewing...although that is viewable we cannot make it work properly (with the same quality as it is on windows...which is day and night...), is there any options which we can work on them for getting the best quality because of the connection? i tried from nvidia-settings but i cannot find any option for "cable changing"..what should i change to make this work properly? (the current display is 1024x768. he wants big letters for easier reading..)
ty in advanced

I have nvidia 8400m gs and hda-intel, hdmi just does not work properly. The resolution is by default wrong and does not fit into the screen. If I use 1920x1080 the text is almost unreadable. Further, hdmi+audio does not work at all. I use nvidia-xconfig to set up X and NVIDIA X Server Settings in gnome to choose the TV screen. I have a 32'' Samsung flat screen tv.
VGA cable works for video and sound with an audio cable from laptop headphones to TV PC in. The resolution is quite ok - 1360-768 and sound works thru the tv speakers.
What I have found googling is quite contradictory. But it seems nvidia hdmi on linux is not yet fully implemented. ATI Radeon on the other hand seems to work better.
As the hdmi cables are quite expensive, especially the gold plated ones, I would discourage linux users for the moment to have too high expectations on getting hdmi+audio to work for nvidia cards, at least not on hp pavilion notebooks. It might also be a question of hp notebooks with nvidia not having any connector between the graphics card and the audio card, as the audio is being transmitted over the hdmi port. However, HP is quite uninterested in support, and plucking asunder a laptop is not that appealing to find out audio chips and eventually missing connectors between sound card and video card.
To sum it up, vga is better for the moment.

Intel Mini - HDTV with DVI or HDMI Problems

Hello
With my Samsung LE32 and the Intel Mini I get overscan in HDTV resolutions like 1280x720, so I used DisplayConfigX to go from 1280x720 (overscan) to 1240x680
128 Front Porch 19
80 Sync 5
240 Back Porch 38
1688 Total 750
As you can see in the following images:
http://www.romanargenta.com/personal/imagenes/display1.jpg
http://www.romanargenta.com/personal/imagenes/display2.jpg
http://www.romanargenta.com/personal/imagenes/display3.jpg
the image is pinned to the top left corner.
Playing with the Front and Back Porches seems to do nothing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

The website for DisplayConfigX has a wonderful FAQ section that explains very well it's operation. Unfortunately, most of everything in that FAQ applies to displays that are based on CRTs with magnetic deflection systems. For example, the whole section on "How to get rid of overscan."
For a modern, matrix addressed technology such as LCD, DLP, LCOS, Plasma and whatever, most of the FAQ does not apply. It would be nice if the author updated the FAQ with such a disclaimer to stop giving people false hope that overscan, image centering and such things can be controlled by DisplayConfigX on their modern displays when almost certainly it cannot.
Can you possibly control overscan from your Samsung? Either directly through any user settings or, if need be, through a secret service mode? I think that will be your only hope.

Strange thing with Xcode

Hi,
I created a thread over in the Mac OS X forums, but I've been redirected over here. My question is about the C programming language and Xcode. I recently picked up my C programming book to start where I left off a few months ago, however I ran into some trouble using Xcode 3 in Leopard.
For some reason, I was not able to get a program containing the 'scanf' function to work. The program doesn't even initiate (I've tried putting a simple 'printf' command as the 2nd line). It just sits there "running" while nothing is happening. But what's really strange is that the exact same code works perfectly when built with Xcode 2 in Tiger. Its not a very complex program, just 20 lines or so... but I don't understand why it works with one version of Xcode and not another.
And as if by magic, I can't get 'if' statements to work with Xcode in Tiger (Xcode 2). But, they work just fine with Xcode in Leopard (Xcode 3). Go figure! This problem is a little different, because my simple 25-line program just terminates immediately after starting. I'd like to get this resolved, but nothing I do seems to work. Reinstalling Xcode both on Tiger and Leopard did nothing. Even trashing the preferences and restarting had no effect. Anyone have an idea?
Thanks,
-Trevor

You're probably right about my code being wrong, but I can't seem to find the problem. Please be patient with me here as I am new to programming.
This one is simply to calculate a triangular number:
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void)
int n, number, triangularNumber;
printf ("Enter a triangular number: ");
scanf ("%i", &number);
triangularNumber = 0;
for ( n = 0; n <= number; ++n )
triangularNumber += n;
printf ("Triangular number %i is %i
", number, triangularNumber);
return 0;
As you can see, thats the one with the scanf statement. Here's the other one:
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void)
int number;
printf ("Type in an integer: ");
scanf ("%i", &number);
if ( number < 0 )
number = -number;
printf ("The absolute value is %i", number);
return 0;
Thanks
Also, keep in mind that I did not write these programs. I just copied them as examples from the programming book I'm using.

Strange things with netcfg

Hello, I do not had too much time to dive in the problem yet, but here it is:
I've installed arch on virtualbox, I use netcfg ( I will have multiple interfaces soon, that was the reason ).
Netcfg worked for me on several machines.
By now, if I use netcfg ( network daemon is not started! ), i can ping anything, DNS resolving works, but
pacman does not, and if I try a browser like links ( the machine stays console-based ),
the browser stucks at "REQUEST SENT" and nothing happens.
I have no error messages, nothing related in /var/log/errors.log or .../messages.log or .../everything.log
If I shut down the net-profiles "daemon" and start /etc/rc.d/network, everything works fine
So, to resume:
for me it seems that I have set all the settings correctly, ICMP works, maybe TCP/IP not ?
What am I missing?
here's my config file
/etc/network.d/myinterface
INTERFACE='eth0'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.1.200'
BROADCAST='192.168.1.255'
GATEWAY='192.168.1.254'
DNS='192.168.1.254'

One way audio is normally a NAT issue - so make sure the SPA9000 is configured according to your IPTSP's manual (in terms of NAT traversal, STUN/VIA, outbound proxy and ports that you may have to open).
There are two essential pieces to tracking down a problem with your VoIP equipment:
The configuration of every device involved
SIP protocol traces
And don't forget: there's no such thing as giving too much information when describing a problem.

Strange thing with tomcat+jsp+javabean

I use javabean in jsp with tomcat container.if I put the javabean file in a package,then it works well.But if I don't, I means,there are no package clause in my javabean file.then it complaint that org.apache.jsp. error:class not found.
It is very strange.Of course place the class file I put is right.Do anyone encounter the same problem.I use tomcat4.0.4

Did you import the classfile? Even if it is not there in a package, you need to import it.
For example, if you have a Test.java (Test.class) in your web-inf\\classes with out any package statement, then you need to code this in your jsp,
<%@ page import="Test" %> (I don't exactly remember whether you need to import 'Test' or 'Test.class'). Just give a try.
