VmWare Display settings for guest OS Win7 Pro and others not saving

Mid-2014 MBP 15" with Retina, Intel iris Pro, 16GB, 512SSD. Running vmWare 7.1.2 on Yosemite 10.1.2:
- Win7 Pro VM setup with 8GB, 2 'cores', 128GB SSD.
- the Display settings for the Win7 Pro guest won't persist when switching to and from Mac desktop
- Doesn't matter if Full Screen or in Window, it defaults to 1140 x 900 or something like that, and will not keep settings made after Full Screen is selected
- Having done some research before coming here: I have uninstalled and re-installed vmTools. I have tried it with 'Use Full Retina Display' setting in vmWare guest settings, doesn't make a difference other than the default size is either the maximum Retina resolution for the Win7 Pro desktop or the 1440x900 default when the 'Use Retina..' setting is set.
- Apparently this is an Apple bug with Retina MBP and not vmWare, according to vmWare. ;}
Thought, suggestions, other?
Thanks folks!

Now having worked with VMware support. Here's the fix for anyone experiencing this problem on a rMBP with Fusion 7.x and running Win7Pro or others as guests, that are not retaining the display settings when either rebooting the guest, pausing the guest or switching between the Mac desktop and the GuestOS desktop.
1. Find a file named WMwareResolutionSet it can be located under ProgramFiles or ProgramFile(x86)-->VMware-->VMware Tools-->
2. Move, do not copy, this file out of this directory, onto your Desktop
3. Restart the Guest
4. Whatever resolution settings you have set, should now be retained
This assumes you have already UN-checked 'Use Full Resolution..' Retina display checkbox in VMware Settings-->Display.

Best Settings for Athlon 1700 + (no overclock) and other issues...

Hi!
The solution for my last problems sent me into other questions.
1 - What are the best settings for an Athlon XP 1700+ and a KT3 Ultra Aru?
2 - Athlon XP is anounced to have 266 fsb, but in bios you can change only to 220! Anyway, in the kt333 chipset specs says it has 266 fsb...
I'm confused:
What is the difference from the fsb in the athlon XP specs and the board Specs?
3 - Raid: Don't believe this is in the manual...
Do you know of issues regarding overheating problems in hdd over 60 gb size? I've heard that there are problems because of the high rotation (7200 rpm)...
Anyway, i wanted to mount my raid for Professional Audio Recording... I guess i'll wait for ATA133 drives in Portugal...
4 - USB 2 and Windows 98:
Are there any drivers for 98se or do i have to stuck with usb 1?
Thanks in advance!

hi
133 is your cpu speed 266 is ddr ram speed
i think ata 133 is a bit of nonsense
quickest disks i know are wb with 8 mb cache
they run hot ,case fans and consider hd coolers
try via website for drivers not sure

What are the best Color "Display Settings" for both my Macbook Pro Retina and Thunderbolt Display??

I have recently purchased a Thunderbolt Display for my MBPr (early 2013) and was wondering what were the best settings for both to obtain an equal color and graphic appearance. I want to have them identical for working on graphics and illustrations.
Thanks

I have the same laptop. There's nothing you really need to do to optimise the system. Perhaps just install the cuda drivers.
It runs premiere like a dream.

Has the underscan feature been removed from the display settings for a projector in 10.8.2 for any reason or is this an oversight

Hi
Does anyone know if there is another way to find the underscan feature in display settings for Mac OSX 10.8.2 other than through the display settings. We set up our ceiling mounted prjectors at the start of September when we moved into our new school building at a significant cost. The projectors linked to the teacher's Imac projected onto the interactive whiteboards at the front of the classroom perfectly on 10.8.1. We recently updated to 10.8.2 and now the projected image no longer fits on to the boards and is about 2 feet higher up to the wall. The underscan feature is not available to drop this any ideas.
Moving projectors is not an option due to the cost of bringing in the contractor to extend the ceiling mounts.
thanks

We have an SR raised which is now with development, but so far we have not been able to pin down what is causing this.
Basically we see entries end up on the recovery queue with nothing written in any logs, even if we increase the level of logging to debug.
This does not happen under load, the exact opposite. If nothing is going on and then we get 5-10 processes start, we see about 1% end on the queue. I pushed 500,000 messages through it last weekend and nothing ended up on the queue, yet a run on Monday of just 100 caused 2 entries on the queue with no explaination.
I have tried everything I can think of, but so far have not been able to re-create the condition at will, it is completely non-deterministic. It also happens on all 5 of our rigs, so it is not machine specific.
I have tuned the BPEL engine and it easily copes with our throughput. We are running with a 10g dehydration store, either single instance or active-passive depending on environment, but I do not think this is going to be causing an issue.
We have about 20 async processes and sub-processes and the problem can occur at any point, although mostly on Invoke and Callback. Each process contains a mixture of async (to BPEL), sync (to External) and a reasonably number of database adapters in each process.
It is not the fact it is placing the entry on the queue that is my issue, it is the fact we have no idea WHY it has ended there as there are no log entries.
Any ideas what else I can try?

Regional Settings for Guest User

I am trying to display an Excel spreadsheet stored in SharePoint (via OneDrive for Business) using Excel online. I want the dates displayed in UK format (DD/MM/YY). The SharePoint site settings are set for English UK and the correct date is displayed
for a user defined in SharePoint. However, if a guest user accesses the spreadsheet, the dates are displayed in MM/DD/YY format. How do I change this so that it is displayed correctly for Guest Users?
Many thanks

what is the web application date time settings? as they are anonymous then they don't have an individual
regional setting. I don't think you can do what you want without a lot of custom programming.

What are the Best settings for GEforce GTX680 & Premiere Pro CC

I have purchased the Geforce GTX 680 mac edition and installed in my Mac Pro 2012. However, there are some settings in Premiere Pro that are a little perplexing to me. To maximize the effectiveness of video card and get the best render times I want to make sure my settings are correct.
I read that under Sequence Settings it is best to check off Maximum Render Quality and then under Preferences > Memory I should check off Memory instead of Performance. Am I correct in doing this?

I own a Mid 2012 Mac Pro which had a ATI Radeon HD 5870 and replaced it with a GeForce GTX 680 bought from Amazon in the UK.
Card Installation - first issue I had was getting the old ATI card out, after undid the obvious screws it just wouldn't come out, so I read the Mac manual reminding me to press the button on the grey plastic card holder which moves a metal bar out the way, then it came out easily! Once card was installed I switched on the power and the Mac stayed on the grey Apple logo screen for 20 minutes. Called Nvidia in Germany and got a guy who only knew Windows who told me to reinstall the old card, delete the ATI drivers and try again, such a Windows tech support response! I knew this was not how Apple work, so I searched the forums and it turned out I need to fully turn the power off at the wall for both the Mac Pro and my 27" Apple Cinema Display as they seem to retain some settings from the previous setup. Once I did that, the Mac booted up correctly :-)
CUDA Drivers: It is very odd there is no mention of having to install the CUDA drivers in any of the documentation you get from Nvidia, but thanks to this forum thread I knew to go to the CUDA drivers page at http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/mac-driver-archive-uk.html
and downloaded the CUDA driver, it installed and when I ran my old premiere projects with an embed After Effects clip in them, unlike before wiht the ATI the timeline rendered them in real time, so that is a major improvement.
Dilema: only question left is whether to be using the CUDA settings or OpenCL option in the Premiere Pro CC > Projects Settings tab?

My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software. I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software. I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

This might sound like a silly question, but are you sure the iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch etc.) are still trying to connect to the same network from your own Airport router, as the MacBook Pros are? If you tap Settings on them, is the network name next to where it says Wi-Fi, the right one?
I've got a weird feeling that either in the past couple of days, a neighbour got an Airport device and hasn't set it up yet (causing your iOS devices to try to help), or that perhaps there's an issue with your Airport router and they're noticing it and trying to help out, while for whatever reason, Airport Utility isn't opening itself on the MacBook Pros like it normally should if there's a problem.
If you open Airport Utility on one of the MacBook Pros, does it report any problems with your Airport device, and can you view/edit the settings on it?

Same SID for QA & Prd systems - pros and cons?

We have the foll systems:
1. Enterprise Portal 7.0
2. NWDI 7.0
3. NW 7.0 (with XECO - Ecommerce)
4. TREX 7.1
5. Content Server 6.40
6. ECC 6.0
Currently the QA and Prd systems have the same SID and system/instance no, although they are on different hosts.
We would like to know what are the long term pros and cons for keeping the QA and Prd SIDs the same for all systems.
We are already making a list, so thought we might as well get more inputs from the community too.
We already have this arrangement for the past 3 months and have not faced any major issues.
A couple of cons though:
1. Cannot use solman as it cannot distinguish between the diff servers with same SID
2. ABAP transports from QA to Prd have to be manually done (cannot use STMS)
Thanks

Hi Manoj,
Changing the SID of java systems is a very tedious procedure. Hom sys copy is just a part of the SID change...there are a whole lot of configs to be done after that...the task is eq to a new setup of systems
For once, the efforts put in are huge..you can see there are 5 systems..besides, it will involve coordination from all teams - basis, development, functional, project management.
Here are a few advantages that we know of:
1. No efforts reqd to change back to original SID
2. During disaster recovery, we just have to restore the production database on QA and change the hostname, whereas its not so in case of having diff SIDs
3. For end-users this will be transparent because they will be using the hostname in the URL which is anyways different
We have the same SIDs for the past 3 months and have not seen major issues, but we also would like to know from the long term perspective if there are any risks that we have not foreseen...hence we seek help from the community.
Hope its clear now
Thanks for your response

Universal power pack for Mac air, Mac pro and ipad

Have an 10 hour flight comming up    Would like to purchase universal power pack for Mac air Mac pro and ipad

I do not take Intergrative Nutrition, but I have some advice for choosing your device. Your choice of device should be based upon what you will use your device for currently and in the future.
     If you are just using your device to use the internet and do light activities (smal typing, etc.) then the MacBook Air is a better choice. You should note that the Air has no Superdrive(for your DVD's CD's etc.) so you will have to put out more money to get one. It can also be slow because of the Flash Memory.
     If you are going to be doing more "heavy" computing (photo editing, sound editing, lots of multitasking, large file sizes etc) then I would suggest getting the MacBook Pro.
     If you prefer tablets, or tablet style reading then the iPad will be better for you. You should keep in mind that ther are restrictions on the files that you can view or work with on the iPad.
Overall, I prefer the MacBook Pro because of its versatility, durability and capabilities to do multiple file types. If you have any more questions, feel free to drop by your local Apple Store or Apple Authorize Retailer. They will be happy to help you!

Nvidia CUDA driver update fixes crashes for Premiere Pro and other applications

We are seeing reports that the CUDA 5.5.47 driver update released today addresses the crashing problems introduced by the CUDA 5.5.43 driver update in Premiere Pro and other applications. So, if you have an Nvidia GPU, please update your drivers to use the most recent version of the CUDA driver.
Thanks!

It should be added that only Macs and Quadros need the CUDA driver. That is not required for use with GeForce cards on Windows.

my business partner signed up for the acrobat xl pro, and added me to the account. it send me an email to download and install, but after it downloads, nothing happens, can't double click on it to open, it just does nothing on the double click. I tried to download again, and still same thing. I am on a mac with latest OS. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

he is on a pc, we bought a subscription to the license and was told it's 180 a year or 14.99 monthly per user, on the business plan. So the sales rep on the phone walked us through adding the people who will be added to account who will need a license to use. the sales rep said that we just need to go to that section and add users and it will email the user a link to download the file and install

Pop-up is displayed requesting for a WAS user id and password

Hi SDN,
I created a BEx iView based on Template-id. I am using single sign-on with user mapping. When i logged on to portal everything is working fine but initially a pop-up is displayed requesting for a WAS user id and password of the BW system.
I have mapped the Portal user with the BW user-id and password.
Can any one suggest me how suppress initial pop-up.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Basha

Hi Basha,
When you run the report from SICF you will definitely get the popup for authentication, as you are sending request directly on BW WAS.
The reason behind you are getting popup in portal is that you have not used FQDN for BW server in WAS properties of System Object. Try to maintain same domain name for Portal and BW server.This you can easily achieve by modifying host file.
e.g. <EP server IP> EPserver.abc.com
<BW server IP> BWserver.abc.com
Use "BWserver.abc.com" in WAS hostname under system properties.
Do let me know the result.
Thanks,
Amol.
