T400 display issues using XP Pro 32 bit

I recently was given this notebook which was running server 2008. I reformated the drive using XP Pro, for the time being. It will be uograded to Windows 7 once the hard drive is upgraded and more memory is added. The problem is I want to use the ATI graphics chip and I can't use it even though I downloaded the ATI software and installed it. In device manager under display adapters it shows the Intel chip set twice. If I can "switch" between them fine; however I only want to run the ATI chip set. So what do i need to do in order to get the ATI drivers to run?
On a side note I can't find the driver for the System Interface. I was told the file is 7gif12ww. The SM controller is looking for the driver.

You already been given the answer to both of these questions.

17" MacBook Pro to 30" HD Display issue using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adaptor.

Just replaced the Western Digital hard drive on my MacBook Pro with a SSD now running Lion 10.8.2, (updating from Snow Leopard latest version).
I have a 30" HD Apple display monitor and very much love using it.
The issue.
The MacBook Pro will only allow the 30" Monitor to display its top resolution when the unit is closed, when it is open it shows either 2 screens or mirrored screens depending upon the settings, but not at the top resolution capable by the monitor.
Now, when I was using Snow Leopard on the previos hard drive, I could close the MacBook Pro and put the computer to sleep also putting the 30" Monitor to sleep, I could then wake the computer while it was closed with my external keyboard and the screen would wake showing the FULL resolution possible on the 30" Monitor.
Then I could open the lid of the MacBook Pro and the screen would stay black allowing ONLY the 30" HD Monitor to be used effectively as a desktop computer, without the complication or need to display 2 screens or mirrored screens but most importantly the fans wouldn't need to work overtime due to the MacBook Pro being closed cutting off vital ventilation through the 2 air ducts to the left and right of the keyboard.
For some reason I cannot do this with Mountain Lion, the compluter needs to be closed in order for the 30" Monitor to display top resolution, and the fans are working overtime and the unit is getting really hot.
My concern is that the MacBook Pro will overheat, the screen will be damaged as the MacBook does get exceptionally hot when running design and audio packages, even Adobe Flash sets the fans off, and lastly the computers speakers are muffled which is more of a moo point.
If anyone could shed some light or offer a solution I would be most appreciative.
My specs:
MacBook Pro 17" Mid 2009 3.06 Intel Core Duo, 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB, OS X 10.8.2 - connecting to an Apple 30" HD monitor with a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adaptor.
Thanks

Thanks for your quick reply! I want to think I'm not technically challenged, but... are you saying to go from minidisplay on macbook directly to the firewire in the back of the monitor? Or should I try to attach it to that ugly bunch of cables at the end of the monitor cable (dvi, usb, firewire and the power adapter thingy)? Either way, it seems like I might need yet another cable? Like Mini-display to... ?
I feel like my mother asking these questions... At any rate, when I called the guy at apple support last time he acted like it was a Miracle that I had anything on my cinema display at all if I had a minidisplay cable plugged into the thunderbolt port. He said that didn't work (but obviously it did, at least a little) I DID get a picture, it just wouldn't display at the 2560x1600 resolution. More like 1680xsomething. fuzzy and big. I want my pretty picture back.
Thanks so much for your help.

Display Issues in Premiere Pro CS4

I'm having some weird display glitches in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 in the timeline area. I attached a picture that shows what it looks like. This happens whenever I drag clips on the timeline and it makes it so it takes a lot longer to edit my videos.
I'm really hoping that Apple or Adobe fixes this issue. I really can't afford to upgrade my creative suite to CS 5.5! And I would prefer to stick with OS X Lion.
Well it looks like I can't upload an image. Any ideas?

Keep in mind that the following sustained transfer rates - as a rough rule of thumb - apply:
SATA & eSATA: 80 - 100 MBps
Firewire 800:       50 - 60 MBps
Firewire 400:       30 - 35 MBps
USB2:                20 - 25 MBps (depending on other USB devices connected it could be even lower.)
I agree that your storage capacity with 1 TB is enough, but the interface is too slow. If you do not have an eSATA port on you Vaio, you can get a Xpress card to eSATA connector with two eSATA ports to cover that. Also keep in mind that the C drive may be a 4200 or 5400 RPM disk and not 7200.
Mininmum requirements state: a DEDICATED 7200 RPM disk and while your USB disk is 7200, it lacks in the sustained transfer rate when compared to SATA or eSATA. BTW I think Adobe should explicitly mention SATA or better.
Above I mentioned for USB depending on other USB devices attached. USB shares the bandwidth among all devices connected. If you have a USB stick connected, a USB receiver for wireless keyboard or mouse, a USB printer, they all have to share the bandwidth and further reduce the sustained transfer rates of the USB disk.
Hope this explains it a bit.

Issue using logic pro with bfd 2.0 - not enough RAM?

Right, I posted a little while ago when I first installed BFD 2 on my mac pro, and was having problems whenever I tried to use any effects (either in Logic itself or in the BFD 2 program) whilst using BFD 2. What I think I forgot to mention was I was trying to do different processing on different "areas" of the drum kit, and I wanted to use the Logic effects, so I had a number of tracks with BFD 2 loaded as the instrument.
Well, I phoned a local Apple-certified shop to ask for advice on this, as nothing I'd tried had fixed the issue. The guy suggested I try a clean install of the OS and Logic and BFD 2, to see if that fixed the issue. I* have done this, and logic now works with BFD 2 and effects when I have just one BFD 2 tracks, but as soon as I add another and program some MIDI notes into the 2nd instance, even just a bar or two, then play the whole song, there is a large amount of digital noise. Now, on my mac pro, i only have one HDD - the system disk - and 4 gb ram. I had just now come to the conclusion that, with the minimum spec for Logic being 1GB, and for BFD 2 being 1GB, with the OS running as well it's actually likely the system is short of RAM. But now I see that it can also be an issue if your Logic project is stored on your system disk.
So I'm thinking of getting both an extra, internal (SATA) HDD, and an extra 8GB RAM at least. Is this likely to solve the issue? I'm not currently using an interface with it, and as I say, with just one BFD 2 track, it's fine, the issue is caused when I try to add more BFD 2 tracks. Obviously, without an interface, I am unable to try recording audio to see if there is an issue with that too.

You also need to upgrade to the latest version of BFD2. There were many fixes. You should also install BFD2 samples on another hard drive. The 4 gigs of memory you have is more than enough. Your main problem is probably not installing the samples of a separate drive. Hope this helps. BFD2 is an incredible program once you have it set up properly. As noted previously switching from 24 bit to 16 bits will help also.

Display issue - My macbook pro 2011 detects my display but does not display an image

Hi, I am having a problem connecting my MacBook Pro (2011) to my HP 2511x display. I used the display all morning with my mbp connected and closed. When I came back, after the computer went to sleep, I cannot get any image on the display. The computer detects the display but no image appears.
I have tried-
Installing the latest firmware and software updates
restarting both the computer and monitor
trying all of the possible display arrangements and settings for resolution and refresh rates
Also I am connected using a minidisplay to DVI adaptor in the thunderbolt port.
Any and all suggestions appreciated.
thanks.

Hello Aminetti,
It sounds like your computer goes to sleep, and will not wake up, so you must manually restart your computer. I recommend the troubleshooting in the following article:
OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5357
Reset SMC
Reset NVRAM/PRAM
Test with external devices disconnected
Try Safe Mode
Try another user account
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Display Issues with Mac Pro 1.1 HELP!!

I have a Mac Pro 1,1:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP11.005D.B00
SMC Version: 1.7f10
Running OSX 10.6.3
I'm on my second graphics card [ATI Radeon HD 2600] after having issues with the original [NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT]. The issue with the NVIDIA card was that, at times, it would display digital artifacts, glitches, distortion and freeze up the system forcing me to have to do a hard shut down. I found many reports of similar issues with that card and the Mac Pro 1,1's.
When I replaced it with the ATI the problem went away for 6 months and now IT"S BACK.
So, are there any particular graphics cards that work OK with the Mac Pro 1,1? I don't want to waste my money again only to encounter the same issue!
I'm also contemplating getting a new Mac all together.
Please advise, I've read many threads with this issue and they all seem to point to the same deal: replace the card. I can't afford to keep replacing graphics cards.
Saki

The 2600XT required 10.5.2+ and while it may 'look' like a G5 the Mac Pro is not. G5 refers to IBM PowerPC based, not Intel Xeon EFI based.
You're running 10.6.3, might want to update your profile itself.

Power adapter issues using MacBook Pro in European countries?

Are there any known power problems with the new MacBook Pro in European countries such as United Kingdom, France or Italy assuming that I use one of the plug adapters in the "Apple World Travel Adapter Kit"?
Also, is it advisable to provide more protection between the electrical source and the computer than what the computer already handles such as a currency/voltage type converter?
Adapter Kit: http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8794G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA2Nw&mco=MjE0NjQ4NQ

The MagSafe adapter is designed to work with 110-240 volts so it's fine to use across those countries with the World Adapter Kit (I have one too). The only issue you might come across is earthing, i.e. you could feel a tingle in your palms when using some power supplies due to lack of proper earth connection.
Your alternative is to take your regular power lead and purchase a plug adapter, then you're more likely to get an earth connection and no tingle.
There's no real need for surge protection but it won't hurt.

Video display issues with Mac Pro and GeForce 7300?

I'm just wondering whether anyone else has experienced any video strangeness with their Mac Pros with GeForce 7300 cards? Basically, twice now I've had the mouse cursor stop responding and the entire screen turn black, then a second later everything's back to normal (with the cursor moving and the display back). I seem to recall a similar issue on my Windows PC with a Quadro FX 1100 card, so I'm hoping it's just a video driver issue.
Bryan

I am not sure if its the monitor, the MP, or the video card, but, I have had my computer completely replaced after reporting to my local Apple Store about my G5 fans over heating and my monitor either not being able to wake or refusing to sleep. I called AppleCare and did all the normal trouble shooting but they said take it in to store. But now that I have a brand new MP 3.0 I am getting the same issue but no fan noise. I have a 23Cinima HD (the strore said it was fine when they had both my computer and monitor in) but last night after hours of inactivity the monitor had the screen saver on but didn't got to sleep. I then put in to sleep but when I got up this morning I couldn't wake it up. When I got my new computer (3 days ago) I didn't migraite any of my old stuff. I have been slowly reinstalling all my software and updated anything before I install anything else as an added attempt to not have any bad files. I have 2 gig of ram and 500 hd with the 7300 card. I am at a lost I checked and rechecked all my setting. The only other thing I have connected is my airport extreme base.
Any idea's anyone?
Ops one last issue, I have blown my apartment circut breaker three time while attempting to start the new PM and once it did it when I was trying to wake it just by tapping the space bar. Is it the computer being more power hunger?

T400 Display Issue

I have a Lenovo T400, and today my display stopped working completely.
I was in class, I had one browser open, and I closed my laptop in order to take notes in my binder. Everything was working fine. When I opened it back up again, the display would not turn on. The only light that was flashing was the WiFi symbol. I tried to put it to sleep, turn it back on, nothing was working. At this point, I turned the laptop off manually.
None of the lights would turn on, and this is including battery status. When I plugged the power into my ThinkPad, the power symbols wouldn't even light up. However, I could still hear the computer running, and the only light that is visibly on is the CD Drive. Again, my computer was completely fine before I closed the cover for about 10 minutes.
When I got home, I connected my T400 to an external display, and powered it up. A program called "Startup Repair" ran, indicating that my computer failed to start. It said it did some repairs, I restarted my computer, and now it is running via external display. The laptop display still fails to work, and none of the symbols light up except for the WiFi.
I am currently on the laptop right now using an external monitor.
Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this? Do I need a new display?
(My base warranty expired about a week ago...)

you can still extend the normal warranty within couple weeks of expiring, otherwise you can purchase the thinkplus warranty, which costs slightly more.
Given that the LCD and status indicator stop working, there is a good chance that there is some problem with the cable connection or the motherboard component that control these features.

Is anybody else getting external MIDI clock tempo issues using Logic Pro 9 and OSX Lion 10.7.5?

I am having really serious tempo issues when sending midi clock to any external device - The tempo wavers and alternates around 5 bpm above and below the tempo set, and to be frank is totally unuasable when trying to clock arps from hardware synths.
I have the problem both with Logic and Ableton LE, as well as through both my MOTU Ultralite and Focusrite Liquid Sapphire 56 interfaces. I am therefore presuming this is a MIDI issue with the actual computer (MacBook pro, bought new last september).
I moved to Mac from PC, so I'm not totally up to scratch with the Mac architecture yet - can anybody shed any light on why this is happening? It's driving me mad!

Pancenter,
Yes.. I do see the occasional minor variations much like yourself when I sync up to my Oasys or more usually the Motif... to a fair sized and complicated project,,. Maybe +/- 1.. or on rare occasions +/- 2 bpm... but nothing close to the OP's +/- 5 bpm experiences...
It actually got better for me when I installed 10.8.x... along with the newest Motu drivers.. and in fact I can't remember the last time I had any unworkable issues with syncing though admittedly I haven't done that much syncing recently.
I do have a project coming up in the next 10 days.. that will require me to use the Oasys synced to Logic so I'll make a note of any issues i have and post back if any occur.
As an aside, I have recently been doing a lot of work with iPad Instruments and Arp Apps and Logic... and the sync as been rock solid over USB...

Display issues with MacBook Pro

When I connect my MacBook Pro to my Promethean Board it automatically resizes my screen so that it is very large. I can't access all of my menu at the top of my screen and my icons are huge. If I got into the Display settings it is set on 1280x800 with a Refresh Rate of 60 hertz. When I try a different size it doesn't change. How can I change the display while my Promethean board is connected?

First thing I'd to is take it to the Apple Store, you can talk with them about this. I'm sorry you have been having so much trouble, while Macs are good in general there are some lemons. I bought my current MacBook Pro in August. Within a few weeks of buying it, there were a handful of dead pixels on the display as well as a couple of pale spots (bruises that the Apple store said was my fault). I got the display (the entire top 1/2...display, iSight, etc.) replaced over Labor Day weekend and haven't had a dead pixel or blemish since then. If you wait until WWDC, there are two things to consider: 1) you will have the problem for a few more weeks, and 2) replacements may be refurbished laptops and not necessarily a new laptop. Why bother? If I were you, I'd take it in ASAP and see what options I'm given. If the screen is repaired and dead pixels arise, the screen can be replaced again. What's worse, the possibility of dead pixels, or putting up with the bad display for another month (or two...Apple has a history of introducing things at MacWorld and WWDC that aren't available until the following month)? Hope I helped.

Display Issues Using Time Series Function

I have created a time dimension (Total Time > Year > Quarter > Month) and created QTD, YTD, QTD_AGO, and YTD_AGO metrics. I join a materialized view with revenue metrics to property dimension and calendar dimension with grain of year-month.
When I build the following report A, all data is present for 20 markets:
A - Market (property dim) , Unit Count (property dim), QTD Revenue (fact)
When I build the following report B, all data is present for 20 markets:
B - Market (property dim) , Unit Count (property dim), QTD_AGO (fact)
When I build the following report C, I am missing unit count for 3 markets of the 20 markets:
C - Market (property dim) , Unit Count (property dim), QTD Revenue (fact), QTD_AGO (fact)
If I remove one of the markets that properly displays from report C, all unit counts appear. If I display just the 3 markets missing unit counts, their unit counts appear.
I have tried several redesign approaches, looked for data issues, cleared cache, waited for data to refresh, and I can’t get this to work. Would the materialized view cause any issues? ANY ideas/suggestions are MOST appreciated!
Note – OBI 10g on Oracle database

Hi
If time dimension lowest granularity is month then how can you get data at day level that is Quarter to Date??
set the fact LTS content tab at proper dim levels.
and set the chronological ket at lowest level and other levels based on your req.
Thanks

Serious display issues with Mac Pro

Hello
I have a 5 or 6 years old Mac Pro G5 with a ATI Radeon 9600 XT video card. I have a lot of problem properly connecting a display to that computer. Here is a small list of all the irregularities I witnessed :
- When I connect an Apple Studio Display, the computer detect two displays (when looking at the display preference, one is labeled "VGA Display" and another labeled "Color LCD"), both at the same resolution and working as a two screens setup (as seen with Space) when not mirrored
- I can't have the computer working with an Apple Cinema Display. The computer will not boot with that screen plugged in. The normal loading screen appeared, then just before the login screen, it goes black and eventually the computer stop.
- The screen stay black when I connected it while the computer is running.
- I have a couple of those G5, so I tried switching the video card with a working one (same model), and it didn't change anything to the screen problem.
I guess it sums up all the symptoms I can see. If anyone as a suggestion on what might be the problem, it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You really should post this in the PowerMac forum, since it's a G5 and not a Mac Pro. All the Mac Pros are intel based.

Audio Issue - Using Logic Pro and iMovie to Create Movies for Youtube

I am trying to use a combination of Quicktime, iMovie and Logic Pro 9 to create videos of me playing/singing songs to post on Youtube. Before I can ask the question, I think it would be best to briefly explain my process, so here's one example:
One thing I try to do is video myself playing piano and singing at the same time. What I do is open up Logic Pro and load my piano sound and arm an audio track that my microphone is plugged in to; I also go to "System Preferences" and click on "Sound" and make sure that my audio interface is selected for the input method. Then, I open up Quicktime and select "New Movie Recording". Finally, I open up my software for my interface and set it up for "loopback"...there's a picture below.
If you look at the bottom of the interface, you'll see it says "DAW 1: Loop Back 1" and "DAW 2: Loop Back 2". Ideally, this means that whenever I start recording in Quicktime, all of the sounds that I am making in Logic (the piano playing and the singing) will loop back into the computer and be recorded by Quicktime. This does actually happen, but my question is this:
I've noticed that the sound quality of software instruments is drastically reduced once they have been recorded by Quicktime (or iMovie) and I play the movie back. Actual audio files, like me singing or playing a real instrument aren't really affected, but for some reason the software instruments sound very thin once I listen to the audio in the movie. Why is this happening? Is there a way to preserve the audio quality to be the same during video playback as it is when I am playing the instruments live in Logic?

Interesting and convoluted way to get something done.. from what you're describing it almost sounds like the software instruments are somehow getting recorded twice but slightly out of phase.
When you record your singing are you monitoring through headphones or speakers?
