Using Tv as display - old mini works - new one doesn't

I hooked up my older mac mini to my TV. I used a regular DVI to VGA cable and all was well with the world. I have a Widescreen TV, and the new mac mini stays in a 4x3 state - it never goes to widescreen. I hooked up my old mac mini and I tried to use the same screen resolution as it was automatically setup before but it stays 4x3 and it looks funky - like the entire screen is even more compressed.
I called apple and they told me that they couldn't help me because they will only help me if I had issues working with a monitor or tv that is under 30".
Anybody know what I need to see my new mac mini in widescreen? If I can't fix it soon I'll just return it and go back to my older slower mac mini so I could at least watch hulu in widescreen.

here is a weird thing - don't know if this means anything. In the display settings there is only 1 setting for 1920x1080, and it shows up as 1920x1080(interlaced), when I flip my TV on it says 1080i, but if I go to display dropdown on my tool bar there is another 1920x1080 - with no other changes, however my TV now says 1080p. However, the actual text quality did not change.
When I keep my TV on 0 sharpness the text is unreadable - I reduced it from 55 to 40 just to be able to read. I wish I could just find out if it is indeed a setting on the Sony, or if either the Sony is not capable of delivering or if I have some other limitation. I tried adapters for the display port and the mini-dvi - but that didn't make a difference at all. It's really frustrating. I think I'm so used to working with mostly apple hardware that's easy to use the minute I have to fix some other piece of equipment (like my sony), I feel I need an engineering degree.

  • Configuration file bc4j.xcfg not found. Old pages work, new ones don't.

    , I've spent way to much time already trying to troubleshoot this problem.
    Simply put, everything works fine on JDeveloper 9.0.3. The same application can Not view anything on JDeveloper 9.0.2
    I'm deploying the application to Oracle9ias 9.0.3 and I come up with the following error:
    Error Message: JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.JboException, msg=JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file **/common/bc4j.xcfg in the classpath
    This error only occurs when I deploy the application through Enterprise Manager. Yet when directly deploying the files all application pages that were unchanged have no difficulty working, but the application pages that have changes (database tables changed as well) don't work properly. In fact, they attempt to make View Object select statements that are not contained in the new version of the application (PK name has changed).
    How can I get the pages pointed to the new bc4j.xcfg? Is there something wrong with the configuration on the server? (I've already attempted: including the bc4j.xcfg in the additional path, sychronizing, deploying the business components, and even recompiling in 9.0.2)

    We had the same error message here. We resolved it by changing the format of the password in the bc4j.xcfg file. To do this, find the bc4j.xcfg file in your project directory. Using notepad or another external editor, edit the one under the "src" directory. Find the password tag under your connection in the file.
    Edit it so that it reads like this:
    <password value="<yourpassword>" />
    Let me know if it worked..
    BTW, I have also heard that upgrading your Java instalation on your server will also fix the problem, but we have not tried that.

  • Port Forwarding - Old Rules work, new ones don't

    As per subject 2 rules I created in Oct work fine.
    2 I've created today don't.
    If I reboot the HomeHub, will that change my IP Address and upset my line speeds / profile ?
    Thanks

  • I need to connect my old Mac book pro to the new one to transfer files.  The old one doesn't have Thunderbolt 2 and the new one doesn't have Firewire 800.  Will the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter or Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter work?

    I want to transfer data from my old Mac book pro to my new one using migrate.  The old computer doesn't have Thunderbolt 2 and the new one doesn't have Firewire 800.  Does the Thunderbolt to Firewire or the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter work to connect them and transfer data?
    Thank you!

    Yes, use a Firewire cable and the FW to Tbolt adaptor.

  • Using both the display ports on the new mac book pro

    Hi, are there some one in Appel that can tell me if its possible to use both the display ports on the new mac book pro to show keynote on? or if its possible to make that possible? i would really like to be able to create a keynote with 5120 x 1600 pixels and get that output on two display ports, so that i can use my hardware to make a keynote with really nice reselution. its for use on a screen size of 18x4 meter.

    Connect one display to the Mini-Displayport and the other to a USB port using an adapter like this:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/VIDU2DVIA/
    Or buy a Matrox DualHead2Go DP Edition external video box and connect both displays to that, which in turn connects to the Mini-Displayport on the computer.
    There are limitations either way. A USB-connected display will be less responsive than one connected to the MDP, because USB 2 is slow. To use two displays with the Matrox box, I believe the displays must be identical. Read and understand all the caveats about each alternative before making a decision about which way to go.

  • How do you guys transfer photoshop cs6 from old laptop to new one?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to transfer photoshop cs6 from my old macbook to new one.
    I tried to do it through using migration, but it doesn't work.
    Is there a better solution? or do I need to buy new one ?

    Migration does not work well with Adobe programs. Deactivate it on your old machine. Then use the Creative Cloud Cleaner on the new machine to get rid of the unsuccessfully migrated software.  https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
    Then do a complete new install on the new machine, and activate it.

  • Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Yes, it will. You cannot merge information on the phone. If you want the old messages, you will need to restore from a backup of the old phone, which will make the new phone look just like the old phone. If you want to save the messages from the new phone, you will not be able to get the messages from the old phone.

  • I've imported some midi tracks, used the mixer to set pan, volume etc, but when I stop playback and restart it sets every midi track back to '0'. I've been using LE for years, this is a new one, any ideas?

    Hi,
    that's because Logic reads the volume information out of the imported MIDI tracks and sets the volume fader according to this information. The MIDI information overrides volume settings you have done, so you have to identify the MIDI events that contain volume (or expression or pan or whatever) information and delete them. You can use the event list editor for this.

    Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.
