Upraded to 10.5.6 and two of my four displays are no longer "detectable"
I was happily running 4 displays from my 2 graphics cards (9600XT and 9200) under 10.3.9. 3 x DVI (one of which is with the ACI adapter) and 1 running via VGA to a plasma TV. The 3 displays running from DVI were all "name" recognized in System Preferences and all resolution options were available under 10.3.9.
I have now upgraded to 10.5.6 (and subsequently 10.5.8 in case that solved the issue) and suddenly two of the displays aren't recognized and I am only given a single, low resolution option, if I press "Detect" is does nothing but if I untick the button to show me all Colour profiles..there are all my original profiles with the names of the displays but you can't select them per se. - also on these two affected displays, display the Leopard background (the Universe pic) is mainly blue - almost like when you have a loose cable (but they are not). It's almost like the black and yellow has been take out. Both screens are "usable" in that you can clearly read them just one is now in 640 x 400 ( I think) and the other in 1024 x 768 (24" Widescreen Dell).
The problem is not card specific i.e. it seem to effect one socket from each card - the VGA on the stock Apple ATI card and one DVI on the ATI 9200
I have tried swapping the displays between the cards and when I do the alternate display is then recognized so it can't be a problem with any of the displays either.
Any ideas? I need all 4 displays running in their respective resolutions (and without a blue screen) for Logic screenshots.

Ok.. tried the Sysresex that fixed others HDMI Mac Mini problem - but that didn't work. It can't be a problem with Application Enhancer as I didn't have that installed, although I do now just to see if it made any difference.
I have tried unseating and reseating both video cards and nothing. I know it's not the drivers for the displays as they work when swapped.

5770 with 27" Apple LED and two 20" Apple Cinema Displays w/Mac Pro
As stated, I just bought a brand new Mac Pro 8-core (2010 ID 5,1) with a 5770 card and I'm trying to hook up a new 27" Apple LED and two 20" cinema displays. One of the 20" monitors is using the MDP adapter into the 5770 and the 27" is directly connected to the other MDP port. When I try to hook up the other 20" to the DVI port on the 5770 I get nothing. The screen is black and the it is not recognized as being connected. I'm using the standard DVI connector that came with the 20" direct into the 5770. To make sure it isn't a monitor problem, I switched out the 20" displays and both work using the MDP adapter but neither work plugging directly into the DVI port on the 5770. I believe the 20" monitors use DVI-D. (Is that correct?) So what's the scoop on getting blank screens when plugging into the DVI port on the 5770? Thanks for any help.
"• the 27" is directly connected to the other MDP port.
• One of the 20" monitors is using the MDP adapter into the 5770.
• When I try to hook up the other 20" to the DVI port on the 5770 I get nothing.
Note: If you are using an Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, only two displays are supported across the three ports.
If you are connecting three displays, any DVI displays must be connected to either the Dual-Link DVI port or must use an Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link Adapter.
You MUST use All "Active" or "Powered" Mini DisplayPort connector such as the Apple Dual Link, or you can only use two displays -
I brought my 1st Gen Ipod to an Apple Store today and was informed that batteries for this unit are no longer available. I find this totally unacceptable.
Is there anyway that I can have the battery for this unit replaced?
Please advise
A.LauroThere are still several third party service centers out there who offer replacement services for the battery. Google for "iPod battery replacement."
Better yet, see if your 1G iPod Nano qualifes under Apple's 1G Nano recall regarding a batch of nanos shipped with bad batteries. See this article for more details.

Italic and bold fonts for Hoefler Text are no longer available to MS Word
Apple provides regular, italic, black, and black italic styles for the Hoefler Text font. I've used them before but since I installed Snow Leopard, I cannot creat italic or bold (black) in MS Word. When I make text italic or bold (black), the characters disappear--the sentence shortens as if I had deleted the phrase, but if I change it back to regular, it reappears.
Font Book shows that I have all of these styles of Hoefler Text in the Library. I tried disabling and then enabling, but that didn't work. Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, have you discovered a solution? Thank you.Thanks for the file. It obviously helped, but I am not sure how. I probably should have taken careful notes about what I did by way of disabling and removing the .ttf fonts and then dragging in the .dfont variety. At one stage when I brought up a Hoefler document in Word, the regular Hoefler text had disappeared. I panicked and removed the .dfont version. Later, after trying something else, the text came back but (judging by the numerals) it was not Hoefler. To make a long story short, all styles of Hoefler (including italic and black) are now working. There are no duplicate font files—I used Remove Duplicates—but I have no Hoefler file in either of the two Fonts folders, even though I can see Hoefler Text in Font Book! To be safe, I used Font Book to export the Hoefler Text to a back-up folder, and the version it exported is the .ttf version. In Get Info I confirmed that it’s the 6.1d7e1 variety. I restarted the computer twice, and determined that this situation is stable. Go figure.
In any event, you set me on the right road. Hoefler Text is now working as it should. I appreciate your help. -
HELP!! I viewed my "backup" files, and now ALL of my photos are no longer "linked" to Lightroom.
I thought I was missing some files, so I viewed my backup files. I received a "warning" that Lightroom would restart and view my backup files. I did NOT receive any warning, that there was NO GOING BACK!! I've tried everything. I cannot re-link ANY of my photos. Well, I did just do one, and it told me all the other photos in the folder were corrupt and Lightroom would not be able to edit them (and no, it was not an exported .jpeg file). Fortunately, I am not concerned about this folder, that's why I tested it. I was forced to moved all of my photos from my C drive to my D drive because for some weird reason on this computer, my D drive is 5 times bigger and I ran out of room. When I did that, I was able to relink all the pictures. Sadly, it didn't keep my Folders, it just relinked them all by date. That I can deal with, even though it makes finding photos much more difficult, but I wasn't about to try to rename any of them and have to relink again.
Now, I can't relink any of them because it appears in Lightroom that all photos are back in the C drive and therefore, the new photos that I placed on the D drive are not there, and nothing will relink, period, not even the ones that were originally on my C drive!
I have never been so aggravated in my life. I LOVE Lightroom capabilities. I have version 2.3. When I look it up on the online help, all I get is how the photos are in whatever location they were saved, but they are linked, etc. I already know that part. I seriously wish I had NEVER looked at my backup files. I don't think I'll bother backing up stuff anymore because apparently looking at the backup messes up everything.
I fully anticipated that I would be able to go back, choose my folders on my D drive and have all of my current photos available. Sadly, not.
My user name should be FREAKED OUT!Thanks! I've been practicing deep breathing between yelling at my computer. I use Windows 7. I was in my "regular" Lightroom photos, and I couldn't locate some pictures I took last December. So, I thought, well, why not look at the back up files? I'm normally excellent at remembering exact steps, but I'm so worried about all of my thousands of photos, I can only explain what I think I did. I went into Windows Explorer, and chose the backup files. When I did, I received the warning about Lightroom restarting and loading the backup photos. I hesitated for a full minute, but thought, well, isn't that what backup files are for? So, I selected it. Lightroom opened the backup photos without any problem. But, when I went back, and tried opening the photos that were linked to Lightroom, they were no longer linked. When I click on the formerly linked photos, they just open in Windows Explorer, not Lightroom. When I open Lightroom, it has says all the photos are "missing." All of the folders are listed in my C drive (in Lightroom), not where they'd been moved to on my D drive. The one photo I relinked, stated the photos in that folder could not be edited in Lightroom. So, I'm afraid to try to relink anymore of them. Also, as I said, any photos that I originally imported to my D drive are not showing up in Lightroom at all.
I would say, I normally learn software quickly. That was my experience with Lightroom. I installed it, went through all of the online training sessions, and have loved it. Admittedly, I'm sure there are features that I don't make use of that many people do, but I'm just a passionate photography nut, not a professional.
The online help basically explains the linking, and even how to relink if you "move" a file, a folder to another location. It doesn't cover this, or not where I can find it.
I've think I've given up on yelling at the computer, now I just have knots in my stomach about getting photos relinked. I have probably 80% of them exported, with the adjustments I made, but that does not make me feel one bit better.
Thanks!!! -
I have a VSS failure and two 6509 were all out of work.
Hi,
standby 6509 sup in VSS crashed, and remain in rommon status and hadn't come back untill we reload it on the moring,
but we found active 6509 shutdown all it's MEC interfaces , and standby 6509 remain in rommon status,so we run into a totoally out of work situation untill we reload standby box on the morning.
customer lost communication for almost 8 hours, because fail happened at middle night.
is there any mechanism like VPC auto recovery to config on VSS.
this is ridiculous , because we have one full function 6509 but lost all communication in this failure.
how can i avoid this , we config VSL and fast hello dual-active detection. but can't recovery automactilly from this fail
another question: cisco support community change it's web page i can't find my post.
thank you!
TomHiHi
Thank you
two 6509 VSS, has one interface each box connect a layer 3 swtichA through portchannel. I found two interface on switchA also down and nerver come on until we reload standby 6509, and ospf neighbor to this switchA was also down.
we config two tengigabit eth interface on diifferen line card as VSL, and two gigabit interface as fast hello dual-active detect interface.
found log as below from active 6509
but custmer didn't check active 6509 status and reboot standby 6509 directly to recovery.
I think active 6509 shutdown it's interface and standby 6509 remain in rommon status, two 6509 all were out of services , so everything were lost for 8 hours.
I think during standby 6509 crash( i can find crash file to to memory parity error), there is little time , active 6509 still can detect dual active through fast hello, so active 6509 shutdown it's interfaces, but unfortrunately standby 6509 reamin in rommon status, two box were out of work at same time.
if standby 6509 are totally down(or crash,or power down) , does actice 6509 shutdown interfaces?( I think this is not correct behavior, active 6509 should keep working?)
if active 6509 are totally down( or crash), does standby 6509 take over,
If my thoughts is correct, this is rididuculous, because i can't avoid whole standby 6509 crash or power down.
but if standby 6509 is down, how can active 6509 know standby 6509 is down or VSL and dual-active detect interface are all down to avoid dual active.
is there any possible to find a way: if standby 6509 is down or crash , active 6509 can detect this is not a dual active,and remain working.
if VSL and dual active detect interface are all down, two 6509s can detect this dual active and active 6509 shutdown it's interface
thank you!

Controlling brightness on two 24" LED Cinema Displays
I have an 8-core Mac Pro from this summer with two NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 cards and two 24" LED Cinema Displays. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.1, and when I try to adjust the brightness, the slider on both panels controls only one monitor. I therefore can't adjust the brightness of one of my displays. Has anyone found this?
I filed a bug report at bugreporter.apple.com, and received a pretty quick reply:
This is a follow up to Bug ID# 7222745. After further investigation it has been determined that this is a known issue, which is currently being investigated by engineering. This issue has been filed in our bug database under the original Bug ID# 6828443. The original bug number being used to track this duplicate issue can be found in the State column, in this format: Duplicate/OrigBug#.
Looks like I'm S.O.L. until they fix this! -
My photos are syncing from my iPhone to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but they are no longer syncing to our home computer (Microsoft operating system, not Apple). Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved? I have since tried to remove and reinstall the iCloud application in my computer's control panel. I have verified that I am using the latest Apple operating system and the latest iTunes. I have reset my photo stream. Not sure what else to try... I was also having an issue with my calendar where it would sync from my computer to my iPhone but not vice versa. Somehow in all the resetting that's resolved, but the photo issue is not. Again - photos are going into the photostream, but not wirelessly being put into the file on my computer.
To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

Somewhere, somehow, between two mobile and two macs, I ended up with two apple ids. I figured that this was the root of my problem to syncing. So, I am syncing Mail, Contacts, etc through the one account that I bought storage on this year in iCloud. I want to merge the two accounts, since many of my apps were purchased with my other id. Apparently, Keynote will not merge files since the app was bought with the second id, not the id I am using for icloud.
What to do??? I read, in the forums, that I am definitely not alone. I always had the id I used for the Apple Store to buy iTunes items, and then apps. The other id, that I am using for iCloud was based on my iDisk id, and apparently I set up as a separate account. The much failed iDisk account appears to be the one that I wish I never got involved with. Should I feel the same way about iCloud. If I cannot merge the two APPLE accounts from the same person (ME!!!), then many dropbox really is the answer for my file sharing needs.
Please help me decide.To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
To go back to your question; you cannot merge accounts, but perhaps using one account for iCloud and the other for iTunes will resolve the majority of the reasons you needed to merge to begin with. -
One account and two user names??? HOW??
Hi,
First of all, I own 5 Macs in my company, from iMac 24" to Macmini, the entire line. Use Macs since Classic model, so I'm not totally dumb... or may be I am
It started with a problem syncing iCal and Contacts. The database files became corrupted. Checked the logs and it seemed an permissions problem. try to fixed but the problem returned.
Of course I deleted iCal and contact files at Library, create new one and imported from backup - the same problem happened.
Then I started to dig the problema and when I looked at my keychains I found that I have two user names "sharing" the same user account...how?? one is marcio and other is Marcio Esteves.
I can't find any reference to this second user name apart from keychain. Tryied to delete the keychain and create a new one but the same... When trying to fix the keychain it show me this:
Verification started
Checking keychain configuration for marcio (user ID=502)
Home directory is /Users/marcio
Checked login keychain
Checked default keychain
Checked contents of ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
No problems found
Verification completed
Verification started
Checking keychain configuration for Marcio Esteves (user ID=502)
Home directory is /Users/marcio
Checked login keychain
Checked default keychain
Checked contents of ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
No problems found
Verification completed
Of course I can format the HD and re-install from the scratch but I'm curious because, as far as I know, user names and accounts can not be duplicated.
The only thing that occurs to me is when I bought this machine - MB pro 2.4 - I imported the account from my previous MB pro AFTER change user name from "marcio" to "Marcio Esteves", keeping the same home directory name as "marcio" (as still today).
So, how can I fix it without formatting and installing everything again??Every account on a Mac has two names. These names are called different things depending on the version of the OS and whether you are looking at the System Preferences|Accounts panel or the Workgroup Manager on a server. The "Name" or "Full Name" and the "Short Name" or "Account Name". The short name is the typical unix username. and the full name is just that, your full name. The Mac allows you to use either of these in any of the GUI dialog boxes that ask for your user name and password. At the command line I think you can only use your short name. I see that in OS X 10.6, once you create an account, you cannot see the short name in the System Preferences|Accounts panel any longer.
At a command line (in the Terminal application for example) you can type id or whoami to see your short name.
I think it is probably normal for entries in your keychain to refer to both or either of these names.
As for creating new accounts and copying files I think you should be able to do most of that when logged in as an admin user (which you don't normally do, right?).
Does that help? -
Hi! I have a new MacBook Pro, but I haven't been able to put iTunes on it even though I have used it for years on my iPhone, iPad, and two Windows desktops and two Windows laptops. I keep getting the message that "I am exceeding my iTunes account limit of 5 computers (not counting my iPhone and iPad, which are explicitly excluded from the count according to the message)". As anyone can see, I only have 4 computers, so I should not have any problems with installing iTunes, but this same message says that I need to deauthorize at least one computer or maybe I have extra authorizations on a computer.
I can't even find a list or map of the computers on my iTunes account! Please, somebody help ASAP!!!!! Thanks!!!!!
