Tight VNC / Vista ...black sreen when accesed from work

You don't appear to be running Apple Remote Desktop (the subject of this forum), so I'd suggest you take up the issue in the Mac OS X networking forum.
Good luck.

  • Apple TV blurry black screen when streaming from iMac?

    My Apple TV shows a black blurry screen when trying to stream from my 2013 iMac.  ATV works perfectly with iPad/iPhone but not iMac.  Audio from iMac is fine, just no video.  Both products are entirely up to date as far as software goes and restarting both + wifi hasn't achieved any results.  Any **** would be appreciated, thanks.

    I've found out it is an Mavericks 10.9.2 and 10.9.3 failure! Online I have found more people with the very same Problem, and all of them are running 10.9.2/3  - ON THEIR IMACS (different Models)!
    My Apple TV and Streaming Services were functioning just fine 2-3 Monts ago, the only thing that changed was Updating my iMac Mid 2011 to 10.9.2 -> Then i've got the black screen when streaming, could not activate DisplayMirroring, when i played something in itunes or VLC the sound went through AppleTV but no video.
    Then have checked it with iPad 2 = OK, iPhone 5 = OK, MBP Early 2008 with SnowLeopard = OK,
    so i decided to Install an 10.9 on an external drive - and guess what? It works! Tried to Update (ComboUpdate) to 10.9.1 and it was still OK, got the BLACK SCREEN after ComboUpdate 10.9.2, and tried to Install 10.9.3 just to see if it will solve the problem -> NOT
    this must be a joke!

  • Treo 680 on Vista - Sync trouble when changing from Beta to new system! Help!

    I have had my Treo 680 for about a year now. When I got it I found that the wonderful people at Palm never configured it to ruhn on Vista which had already been around for about 2 years at the time. Consequently, I never could use all the features ( certain media, etc.) because I had to run the Beta system. Additionally, the people at Palm told me when I called last year that the error messages I get after syncing were just something I'd have to get used to.
    Fast forward to today. I go to the Palm site and I see that Beta has been replaced by a system that works with Vista. As I write this right now, I am in the process of syncing and it is stuck on " sycronizing Date Book". I have already tried reinstalling the new Vista version and re syncing again. What should I do to get this thing to work. For five cents, I'd go buy a new G phone from T Mobile and just switch over via importing data to Outlook which I currently don't use and the be done with Palm, ... but I can't even do that because I can't sync the Palm unit anymore with my PC!!!  Any help is appreciated.

    DbFixIt is a database scan and repair program that can be found by doing a google seach and clicking on the first result that appears. It's made by Pimlico and after you down load the trial. You'll need to install it to the device. Unzip it and then double click the .prc file. You should get a message that it will be install during the next sync. Then you need to disable the Calendar conduit. Right click the hotsync icon just the the left of your computer clock. Goto settings, the Applications. Locate Datebook or Calendar (Or both) And uncheck them.
    Then try to sync. This will install the program on the device if the sync completes. Locate the program on the 680 and open it. Once it opens click the top left hand corner and select Delete Calendar blobs. Once that's done you can run the Easy scan, it should tell you what calendar events are 'bad'. Then you can fix them manually. If you want to program to fix them automatically then you'll need to buy it.

  • [SOLVED] black screen when resuming from suspend

    Hi all,
    I've got this new laptop and I can't get it to resume from sleep. The screen is black, probably not even powered. When I resume I am still logged into my session and can type commands (espeak for example, which works), and I can use my other computer to ssh and get the logs.
    This new computer has got hybrid graphics card from AMD. I think this is relevant, as I've read some stuff about the GPU not being powered after sleep.
    $ lspci
    00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Richland [Radeon HD 8650G]
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Neptune XT [Radeon HD 8970M] (rev ff)
    I'm using the open source drivers because I'd like to use bumblebee to switch between graphic cards. It's not working yet, though.
    Also I've read some topics concerning similar issues, but most of them were solved by upgrading to a newer kernel, like 3.8 or 3.9 at that time. I am running 3.16.7 (these topics were from 2013, I found nothing more recent).
    To suspend, I close the lid of the computer or use
    systemctl suspend
    I tried switching to pm-utils for suspend and resume, it still didn't work, event with all the troubleshooting tips on the wiki.
    I'd be glad to provide any logs you would need in order to help me.
    Thank you for your help
    EDIT: I forgot to mention that the brightness keys work well before suspend but have no effect afterwards.

    I found this post, but I don't know if this is relevant or not.
    It says:
    ps: if you use this method, before suspending or hybernating make sure that the intel card is the one in use, or when you recover the pc the display won't show anything (or at least that's how it work on my laptop)
    It is about AMD/Intel hybrid graphics with vga switcheroo, and I'm on AMD/AMD and not using switcheroo, but I don't know enough to say if this is the same problem or not.

  • Blank (black) photos when inserting from iPhoto

    When trying to insert photos from iPhoto in a recent iMovie project, some photos rendered as black while others inserted with no problem. I first thought this was related to enabling /disabling the Ken Burns effect, but could not verify that. However, after some puzzling, I found that if I reduced the size (dimensions in pixels) the photos would insert fine. I checked the photos using Get Info and the only pattern I could see was that the larger photos (3072 x 2304 pixels) would insert as black while the smaller (2592 x 1944) would insert ok. So I used Photoshop Elements to crop the larger and, WA-LA, they inserted fine.
    Any one else have this situation or can verify if I am on the right track or if this is even a consistent problem? I noted on one of the other boards that some people have been having problems of photos showing as black in slide shows using iPhoto.

    Yes, we've seen a few reports recently of certain imported images arriving as black clips. It's not entirely clear why. Resizing as you did has helped some.
    It's not clear whether it's the resizing that helps or simply editing the photo — any editing — that causes the modified image to be saved in a format iMovie handles correctly. I suspect the underlying problem is tied to the image source — the camera — instead of the image size, and that saving the image in an image editor may fix the problem. Anything you can discover that helps identify the cause would be very helpful.
    Here's one with problems with images from a Kodak:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1989357#1989357
    (For what it's worth, I cannot reproduce the problem on any image, no matter what size. Images much larger than 3072 x 2304 import just fine.)
    Please say what camera model you use.
    And to test whether the problem is related to the camera or to the image size, try resizing a 3072 x 2304 image LARGER to see if that imports okay. If it's okay, it's not a size problem.
    Then to see if it's an image file format problem, try doing a Save As with NO changes. If that doesn't import correctly, try changing one pixel and saving.
    Yes, it may be important whether the Ken Burns checkbox is on or off. When importing BMPs, for example, a red color shift occurs when the KB checkbox is ON, but not when it's OFF.
    Anything you can discover would be very helpful.

  • Bookmarks from previous system all lost. Firefoxidn't sync when accesed from another system. The account didn't even exist. Why? Help me get it.

    My previous system crashed and I just got a new one set up. Installed firefox and tried syncing but my acount wasn't even recognized and I had to sign up again. Which led to all my previous bookmarks getting lost. Is there any way to retrieve all those bookmark data?

    hello theja, there has been a change in the sync account system in firefox 29. when you have set-up your account before that (which is likely the case when your credentials weren't known once you tried to sign in to the new sync), you'll need your old username, password and recovery key in order to connect to the old account!
    if you have that information available you could try the following procedure:
    # disconnect from the new account through the sync panel in the firefox options.
    # enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), right-click somewhere in that page & create a new string preference named '''services.sync.username'''with a value like '''fake''' and restart firefox.
    # afterwards you should be able to connect to the old account through the firefox options > sync panel. if this worked and you could import your data this way, please log out of the old sync account again and reconnect to your new account.

  • Change PR item short text when created from Work Order

    Hello,
    Is there a way to edit the PR item short text when the PR is generated from a Work Order. When we open the PR, the item short text is grayed out.
    We have created Material Master Number for Contract/ BPA items. When we input that particular material number under the components tab on the WO then release it ,it creates a PR. The Material Master description gets transfered to the PR.
    Our issue is that the Material Master is to generic and we would like to change the description on the PR level.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks,

    Hi
    I think neither there is any way to change the Material Description in PR nor its a good SAP Practise as it is having lot of implecations of stocking , physical inventory , reconciliation etc .
    If Item codes are generic suggest if u can use the PR or PO long text to enable the buyer for the procurement & supplier for supply the material as per long text specifications .
    Regards

  • How do I remove the black background when displaying photos in iphoto 8

    After upgrading to iphoto 8 my photos now sit on a black background when viewed from album, library or events. I have changed the slider from black to white in Preferences/Appearance but it only changes the display background for when the thumbnails are shown. The moment I click on a photo it displays at full size with an annoying black background. In previous versions it displays with a grey or white background.
    Can anyone help with some advice before I reinstall iphot0 6. Thanks

    wordleader:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. For the background in albums and in the Photos window use the Background slider in iPhoto's Appearance preference pane. In the Events window where you see the square events you can't change the background color.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Hello! I bought sony tablet. when I turns it on it shows sign "sony" and that's it than black sreen.

    Hello! I bought sony tablet. when I turns it on it shows sign "sony" and that's it than black sreen. can anyone help me with it?

    Hi nutochka,
    Try these troubleshooting steps.
    IMPORTANT:Before starting this procedure, make sure the AC adapter is connected to the tablet charge connector and is plugged into a working wall outlet.
    NOTE: Because each of these steps represents a possible solution to this issue, check the tablet status after completing each step.
    Press and hold the power button for at least thirty seconds.
    NOTE: If the tablet turns off, press the power button again to turn the tablet back on. If the tablet turns on, you should be able to use it normally. If it does not turn on, proceed to the next step.
    If tablet is still frozen or not responding, you will need to follow these steps to initiate a forced External Data Reset procedure.
    IMPORTANT: Unfortunately, because it is being reset to the condition it was in when it was first purchased, all of the data and settings will be erased from the tablet.
    With the tablet completely off, press and hold the Volume Up (+) button, and while continuing to hold that button, press and hold the Power button for several seconds.
    Once the Sony logo appears, let go of the Power button.
    Continue to hold the Volume Up (+) button until the Android system recovery screen is displayed. Once that screen is displayed, release the Volume Up (+) button.
    IMPORTANT: Sometimes starting to the Android system recovery screen is enough to return the tablet to normal condition, and a forced External Data Reset procedure may not be needed. For this reason we recommend that you quickly press the Power button in order to cancel the reset and restart the tablet. If the tablet turns on and you are able to use it normally, no further action is necessary. If the tablet still does not operate normally, repeat steps 1-3 above and then proceed with the next step.
    In the Android system recovery screen, use the Volume Down (-) button to highlight the Reset to factory settings option.
    Quickly press the Power button.
    In the Reset to factory settings: Confirm reset screen, use the Volume Down (-) button to highlight the Yes -- delete all user data option.
    Quickly press the Power button.
    The troubleshooting steps listed above should resolve your issue. If you have completed all of the steps and the issue is not resolved, service may be required.

  • Text reflow when converting from rgb spot color to process black

    The setup that I'm using is a G5 Mac OSX, version 10.4.11. The InDesign application is CS3, version 5.0.3. The fonts are loaded into Extensis Font Reserve, server 1.7.4. The InDesign document has a text box using 2 different font sets. One set, Helvetica Neue, uses the rgb spot color. The other one, a mixed set of New Century Schoolbook, is used for a paragraph which is process black. When deleting the rgb spot color from the swatches and converting it to process black, the New Century Schoolbook reflows which had already been process black.
    If I just select the Helvetica Neue type and change that line to process black there is no reflow problem.
    When I tried this document on another Mac with the same set up there was no reflow. Is this an InDesign preference problem? Thanks

    If you change the color back and then back again, do you get more reflows?
    The reason I ask is that when InDesign opens a document, it holds the existing composition of stories until you apply any edit. So, it could be that what you're seeing here is that yours and your user's setups are different enough that reflow is inevitable the moment you edit the text, and changing the color counts as editing.

    Hi,
    Airprint does not support Black ink only printing, however the HP ePrint app allow it.
    Be aware that the option is only available for documents (e.g Office files, PDFs, Web pages and emails) but not for Photo files.
    You may find the steps to get and use the app in the document below:
