Trouble connecting 3rd party monitor to MacBook..."OSD Locked" message?

I am trying to connect my LG monitor to my MacBook air. This monitor worked w/the last MacBook I had (2008 model) and yes, I am using the right cable. The background on the monitor is the same as my MacBook (starry galaxy image) however there are no files. When i tap any button on the monitor (e.g., menu, engine, source, auto/set) I get the message "OSD Locked". I have a feeling this is a setting from my MacBook. Any ideas?

Hey wrtrgrl,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like everything is up and running, your preferences may just be set to Extend your Desktop (as opposed to mirroring). Try configuring your preferences to mirror:

Connecting 3rd Party Monitor to iMac 2.8 Intel Core i7 27"

Hi Hope somone maybe able to answer this question?
I would like to connect my Dell monitor to my iMac as a 2nd screen, it has VGA, HDMI, & DVI ports. What would be the best way, can I simply purchase a mini-display port > DVI or VGA adapter or would I require a Dual Link Adapter?
Thanks in advance
Mike

A mini display port cable to either HDMI, VGA or DVI would be fine. The best way to to purchase is to buy it directly from Apple that way you know you are getting a high quality cable that has been well tested.
BTW, your manual says:
One or two Thunderbolt ports (high-speed data, video, and audio)
Connect Thunderbolt-compatible devices for high-speed data transfer, or connectan external display that uses Mini DisplayPort. You can purchase adapters to connectdisplays that use DVI, HDMI, or VGA. The 21.5-inch iMac has one Thunderbolt portand 27-inch iMacs have two.

How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connector without a usb

How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connecter, only a port.

Most MacBook Pro models have a Mini DVI port, a Mini DisplayPort or a ThunderBolt port for connecting an external display. USB does not have enough bandwidth to support a responsive display connection.
What model MacBook Pro do you have, by year, CPU speed or MacBook Pro 3.1 designation?

Forwarding alerts to a 3rd party monitoring tool

I'd like to be able to forward alerts recieved by the Enterprise Controller to our Unicenter NSM server. I have no desire to use Ops Center's incident assignment capabilities.
Has anyone managed to forward alerts from Ops Center to a 3rd party monitoring tool ?

Since posting my question, I have found this possible solution...
http://www.halcyoninc.com/products/NeuronIntegration/index.php
Halcyon appear to be an Oracle partner who have developed a product which integrates OC with popular 3rd party tools.
I see also that a user by the name of 'halcyon' sometimes posts in this forum, so I'm guessing that's them also.
Obviously this is a commercial solution and won't come for free, but I have struggled to figure out how this can be achieved independently. As you say, there are lots of questions and documentation is sparse. I'd prefer not to make a career out of it. ;)
The integration of OC with our Unicenter NSM tool with be my highest priority for when I get back from Xmas vacation in mid January. I will post up any useful information I discover.

Problems connecting 3rd party webservices from workerrole

Hello,
I have the problem that since 2015.01.28 ~22:00, my service deployed as a workerrole in an Azure instance cannot reach 3rd party webservices. This was a sudden issue as it worked for half a year without any changes.
The 3rd party webservices work fine, I can reach them from my development environment without any trouble, the provider of these webservices also could assure me that it works fine for others.
The call that fails is a simple WebClient call (with credentials) to a URL in order to read a (tiny) file and take followup actions.
The call fails with the following error:
System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond
after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond <ip:port>
The question: have there been any changes recently, either in the Azure services environment or networking that could explain this?
If i connect remotely to the instance and attempt to make the calls manually via IE, they succeed, but very slowly.
I have deployed the service to another datacenter as a test, so right now I have one running in East US and Western Europe, but both face the same issues. The service is running on Azure SDK 2.1, the instance is running on windows server 2012R2.
The service works fine when I run it on my development environment via compute emulator. No connection issues.
Any help is welcome, thanks ahead.

Looks like a timeout issue. Try to increase timeout of your call to see if you get any success. If OK, then for sure it is timeout problem. Then check if it is DNS problem. Use IP address to call instead of hostname. You mention it is slow in IE. Where
is IE located? You can also try to call using IP address instead of hostname to see if it speeds up. Is it slow only the first call?

Trouble with 3rd party VST installs for Garageband, can't find instruments

Hi,
I am having trouble with Audio Units for Garageband when installing 3rd party software, VSTs, loops, instruments. I have more issues with Logic Pro. I am hoping that it is the same underlying issue and that I am just missing something. I have the manuals (not great for troubleshooting). I am confused with some installs use User Library and others use the Computer Library. I do go to the mfgs sites for updates. The installs sometimes work as standalones but I don't see ALL of the components of the software in say Garageband or Logic. Mostly, I am missing the "instruments" and "loops" that I want to access within the DAW. Some examples:
• Here is some of the software I am talking about: East West sample libraries (Play and Native Instruments); Vienna Symphonic librarires; Sylenth1 (just last night); Sample Tank 2 and Total Workstation 2 from IK Multimedia and others.
• In GB I see the Audio Units for Vienna, Play, Sylenth, some of the IK Multimedia but NOT any instruments when I go to the "Sound Generator" -- I seem to be missing the instruments and loops. I see less AUs in Logic Pro. Some of these are VST instruments.
• Can I just drag-drop samples to the library folders to fix this?
• The plug-ins do not seem to work (though Sylenth1 worked for a single sound). When there is a standalone app (as in Sample Tank), I finally got the "sounds" to be reinstalled and loaded, those sounds/samples don't show up in any DAW.
• When and if the sounds/loops/samples show up in GB's "Instruments" section will I be able to tell that they belong to that particular software or library?
Thanks in advance.
John

Found the answer myself, it was simple:
• Select the Track
• Show the Instrument (info area)
• Click on Edit
• Click on the "Sound Generator" pop up field.
• At the bottom of the pop-up list, select from the Audio Units that you have installed. This is where you see "Sample Tank 2, Vienna Instruments..."
• NEXT -- IMPORTANT: CLICK ON THE PICTURE next to the Sound Generator pop-up field.The AU unit loads up, the interface pops up, you load up the instruments in this AU Unit. You do NOT see the sounds from the AU unit in the normal Apple instrument list.
This was not intuitive but once you know it, fairly simple.
Still, the devil is in the details -- more questions on the way.

Need help connecting Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro

What is the best way to connect a Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro OS 10.7.5 to maximize the resolution 2560 x 1440? I was using a VGA adapter on my old Viewsonic monitor that hooked into the Thunderbolt port, I think. When I use my old adapter with the new Dell monitor, it stops my Mac from responding and the monitor says it has no DVI connection. When I unplug the adapter from my Mac, it starts working again. I'm not very good with all these port options and descriptions so talk real slow, please.

1 Dual Link Digital Visual Interface connectors (DVI-D) with HDCP
1 DisplayPort 1.2 (DP)
1 High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
1 Video Graphics Array (VGA)
1 USB 3.0 upstream port
4 USB 3.0 downstream ports
Thank you!

HT3964 connected new external monitor to macbook pro, was working but now have no power, black screen in laptop. monitor purchased with advice from tech and set up also. Worked fine for an hour and then quit

Have just connected a viewsonic external monitor to macbook pro 10.6.8, had everything up and running fine for about an hour then the macbook quit. No power (ws running off power source) Have I killed my macbook? Help!

Aha, all is good.
I went to Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays
and to home/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays
and deleted all SyncMaster.icc files. I did leave behind one SyncMaster file in the home/../Displays which had an old date and I new was ok.
Rebooted, plugged in SyncMaster, and a new icc file was automatically created in the /Library/../Displays folder.
My display works normally, now.

How to uninstall 3rd party app from MacBook Pro?

Does anyone know how to uninstall a 3rd party application (RMSViewer) from MacBook Pro? The app doesn't work and I want to remove it from memory. I can't find an "uninstall" utility on my computer and the 3rd party software doesn't include an uninstall link.

Tap and old the app until it starts to wiggle. Tap the "x" that appears on the corner of the icon.
If that doesn't work, check Settings>General>Restrictions to see if removing apps is restricted.
You may also want to take a read through the manual:

Connect third party monitor to iMac thunderbolt

Trying to help my brother find some answers. He is going to purchase the newest iMac and knows that a monitor can be connected via the Thunderbolt port, but needs to know what kind of adapter he might need to connect a third party monitor.
Any help will be appreciated
Thank you in advance

He needs a Mini Display Port to either VGA, DVI or HDMI adapter. The MDP and Thunderbolt connections are the same size. If he wan't a really nice external monitor tell him to get the Apple Thunderbolt Display. Those retail for $999 but can be found on Apple's refurbished store for $849 which is a good buy.

3rd Party Batteries for MacBook Pro (MacBookPro5,1)

Howdy! I need an extra battery for my MacBook. I see some pretty crappy reviews for the Apple brand, and am considering going to a 3rd party.
Does anybody have any advice as to which one to go to? (I'm looking at macsales...OWC computing, but have nooooo clue.)
Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Brad (in Denver)

As far as I know Apple don't make the batteries, a 3rd party does so the quality from another 3rd party might be just as good/bad. Unfortunately in the last few years quality control in the battery manufacturing sector doesn't seem to have been as good as we users would like.
You will read the problems people experience in the forums but not the vast majority situation of good experience. I think Apple are prepared to replace the small percentage of batteries that fail, if only for the good PR this brings.
It is a good idea to have a second battery if you are fairly dependent on significant battery usage between charges. Check the internet for other suppliers, and their warranty if any, and then make your decision.

Connect two external monitors to Macbook Pro (non-retina, 13", mid 2012)

I've connected one external monitor to a Macbook Pro (non-retina, 13", mid 2012) using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
Can I connect a second external monitor using a USB to DVI or USB to HDMI adapter? Will the Macbook Pro recognize a monitor connected to the USB port?

Something like this -> http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=101&cp_id=10114&cs_id=1011404&p_id=6191&se q=1&format=2 - from MonoPrice may work.

Connecting 3rd Party via Saprouter

Hi experts,
is it possible to connect a 3rd party via saprouter to our sap-systems?
Or is it just possible to connect SAP to the systems?
I already found one entry in SCN, however there was also no solution provided.
Kind regards

Hi Christian,
To connect your SAP system a 3rd Party needs SAP GUI setup at their end & you can provide the sap router string to connect your system via SAP GUI.
For security purposes you can configure sap router string with password option(authentication to access SAP system),so that after confirming job/consultancy by 3rd party you just need to change the password under router string only in regards no one can access your SAP system/network.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks,
