W530 Nvidia 2100m Projector Issues

Hi,
I am having problems when connecting to projectors. For some projectors, it only allows me to connect to them when I choose "only projector" mode, not extended or duplicate. Even when I can connect, videos often are unplayable because intense video artefacting occurs. I just purchased a DLP projector and the projector will not display any picture no matter the settings. I've tried chaning both the nvidia settings and the settings through windows. My projector's name will come up in both dialogues but the projector will not output any picture.
Any ideas on what's going on here?
Best,

Any type of advice here? Being able to use projectors for presentations is essential for my work.
I know the people on these forums are most likely not Lenovo employees, so anyone with some honest advice would be appreciated. I've read of these problems going back to 2011 with the w520, and it seems Lenovo never fixed the issue.
Should I honestly just give up on Lenovo? It seems that these machines are fatally flawed and the company doesn't act to do anything about it.
The W520 always worked. But only when the BIOS Display setting was set to Discrete.
The W530 "should" work on Optimus or Discrete. The NVIDIA GPU drives the external connections.
If you have tried more than one VGA cable and more than one external display type, then I think you have done all you can do from a troubleshooting perspective. It should just work.

Hey Boube,
I have come across an issue with using the Nvidia drivers to using the lenovo drivers if you could uninstall the Nvidia drivers and install the lenovo drivers and this could fix your issue.

Non NVidia graphics card issues with Adobe and Mountain Lion

It took me a while to figure it out, but now I am certain. If using a Mac with a non nvidia graphics card there will be issues in Mountain Lion while using Adobe products. I tested this with Illustrator CS6 for over a year on 5 different Mac computers.
Here is what happens
As soon as I open Illustrator on a Mac without a NVidia graphics card and I attend to apply an shadow effect, Illustrator crashes. If I do this procedure on a Mac with a NVidia inside, all works well.
I tested this on the following Macs
MacBook Pro (Early 2009) with NVidia 9600M GT - it works
MacBook Pro (Early 2011) with Radeon 6750M - doesn't work
Mac Pro (Early 2009) with Radeo HD 5770 - doesn't work
The same Mac Pro (Early 2009) with NVidia GT120 - it works
MacBook Air (Mid 2012) with Intel HD 4000 - doesn't work
iMac (Late 2012) with NVidia 680MX - it works
Since I owned all these Macs, I could test it several times with different kind of software updates. 10.8, 10.8.1, 10.8.2 and 10.8.3 did deliver the same result. Everytime the same result.
Already got in touch with Adobe
With Illustrator CS5 it worked like a charme, so I assumed it could be an Adobe issue. But Adobe support told me, it's Apple's fault since 10.8 uses different processes for the graphics performance.
What can be done, to resolve this issue? I cannot buy only Macs with NVidia inside, since the small portable front of Macs is only coming with Intel graphics cards. And is there anybody out there, having this issue? I cannot be the only one, using shadows in Illustrator.

A typical response. IMO it's most likely a combination of Adobe's reluctance to fix the issue combined with Apple's desire for advancement and change. I've personally experienced several things that've become broken owing to Apple changing fundamental aspects of the OS, and the developers of the third-party software in question have either never fixed their software, or are taking their sweet time. WireTap Studio and Snapz Pro from Ambrosia are a case in point, though they eventually fixed Snapz Pro. Eventually…
Frankly, good luck getting either side to do anything about this. Your best bet is probably getting in touch with AppleCare and seeing if you can get this escalated to Engineering, but I wouldn't hold your breath for a fix from either party. Or perhaps one of the Apple mailing lists will prove useful.

I can't see my photos opened with CS6 - Help with Nvidia GeForce GT issues?

I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite P855-335 laptop running Windows 8 with a Nvidia GeForce GT 640M video card, but I am only able to open my photos when I disable the Graphics Processor from within CS6 Preferences. When the check is active, I see a black screen and the photo is shown only in the Navigator. Is really anoying to have a useles yet powerful video card for my photo editing. My guess is that I am still able to work with my photos because the integrated intel HDGraphics400 video card jumps in when I disable the GPU within photoshop.
What I have done so far:
1.- Updated to the latest driver for my set up. I went to Toshiba website and latest driver was already active. Version 305.46 dated July 2012
2.- I called Nvidia and tried unsuccesfully to install a newer driver (310.90) because is not compatible with my card, they also suggested to install an older driver 304.709 but the operating system just did not want to update to an older driver
3.- I went to Photoshop help and followed instructions and none seemed to work:
3.1. made sure I had latest version of Photoshop CS6 Extended version 13.0.1 x64
3.2.- Set GPU settings to basic
3.3. Reset preferences (Crt+shift+alt) while starting photoshop
3.4. Checked Cache levels to 4
Maybe the biggest and unacceptable issue is that the reported NIvidia cards tested with Photosho CS6 doesnt include the 600 Series. It is quite annoying because all the other series are reported: nVidia GeForce 8000, 9000, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 series
any ideas to help?

Unfortunately, it seems that Toahiba has not improved their driver releases. As they repackage the nVidia drivers, a straight nVidia driver will seldom install properly. I had a Toshiba Satellite (biggest, baddest in its day), and it never got a video driver update. No nVidia drivers would install. I found this Web site, and for the five years that I used that laptop, it rewrapped every new nVidia driver, to install on the Toshiba: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers.
Predicated on a similar Toshiba thread, I checked for that old Satellite, and Toshiba had not issued a new one, four years later - so their one driver was about 9 years old at that point.
Good luck,

Mirroring with apple tv screen size on projector issue

Hello, my name is Dave. I do praise and worship music at a small church.
I want to mirror my ipad on a projection TV. I have the ipad and apple tv but it's not using the entire projection screen. It only uses about 40% of the screen.
I also want to use portrait mode as landscape is to wide and won't display the entire song well.
Apple suggested keynotes but I understand that doesn't work in portrait mode. That is a biggie for me. I have notability but isthe problem the app or getting the right screen resolution ont he projector / apple tv or how can I fix this please?
Thanks,
Dave

Well that's the issue my friend. I called apple and told them what I wanted to do. They told me to get those things. So ... I called abck and double checked. I asked a different person the same scenario. Same ereply. So yes I did order apple tv and airpolay. As stated it doesn't work. The image is WAY smaller than the screen and it's not scaleable at all.
I don't understand what the praying jab is about. Praying was never mentioned in the issue here was it?
Back to the issue: it's not that I didn't realize this technology isn't here I was told it was by two different techs. So when I called back to explain my problem I was bounced around apple to several departments to find the technology simply wasn't here yet as I was told. I was informed incorrectly. So appple let me return the products. The customer service person apologized and I certainly accepted.
So the issue has nothing to do with praying etc. it's simply that for some reason, using your ipad for a demo only nets you 40% of the screen size and scaling is not an option.
Wish I knew that before I placed the order as that was not how it was explained either time I called in.
Now, let's have some techs start working on this issue... else I'm about to start praying... ;-)

MacBook Air/nvidia GeForce9400M/driver issue font installation fails on xp

xp sp3 on a MacBook Air (bought 04-2009, 2x 1,86 GHz, 128 GB SSD) fails to install otf type fonts with an error message. Also Adobe Photoshop 10 (CS3) will crash upon trying to insert writing into a jpeg, tif, psd etc.
Source of problem: The nvidia graphic driver needs some more memory allocation than xp expects.
Remedy: open the registry editor (START>RUN>regedit)
navigate to the following key:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\MemoryManagement
add a new REG_DWORD Value
change the name of the value to
SessionImageSize
set its value (decimal) to
20
reboot
-- this problem would only seem to affect xp sp3 systems with nvidia graphics
-- be sure to backup your registry before changing it and
be sure to know what you are doing before editing the registry
Apparently this problem has been recognized by nvidia and implemented in their latest driver release. This is not suited, however, for Apple products, since they have further customized the nvidia driver (and apparently NOT included this fix!).
The fix will resolve the problems mentioned above with installing otf type fonts and inserting writing into pics in photoshop. Photoshop, however, continues to crash upon exiting, an issue not yet resolved.

Hi and welocme to Discussions,
use the SafeBoot options of XP as described here http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B315222&x=10&y=11
Use Safe Mode (=Minimal) to startup XP with a minimal set of drivers and from there uninstall the not-working Nvidia drivers.
The reinstall the drivers that worked.
You might wanna tryout if 'Last Known Good Configuration' works.

Macbook MiniVGA Display port Epson Projector Issues "Not Supported"

I have been using my Macbook OSx 10.8.5 with a Rocketfish Mini Displayport to VGA adapter (RF-AP307) connected to an Epson Projector (Powerlite83plus) for 3 weeks and just the other day a blue screen appeared on the projector stating that the computer is 'Not Supported'.
Actions I have already tried:
- turned on and off mirroring
- changed the refresh rate
- unplugged VGA adapter and restarted the computer
- attempted to install firmware update for MiniVGA display port following directions located here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/_Mini_DisplayPort_to_VGA_Firmware_Update (update failed because VGA adapter not found)
Anyone having similar issues and have some additional solutions? Need a solution fast, if I need to buy another VGA adapter I will but would rather not have to spend the money again...
Thanks

"- attempted to install firmware update for MiniVGA display port following directions located here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/_Mini_DisplayPort_to_VGA_Firmware_Update (update failed because VGA adapter not found)"
That update is for the Apple branded adapter, not the Rocketfish adapter.
I have the same adapter as you and have had no problems. That doesn't really mean anything other than the part does work with many types of projectors. Yours could have failed, though. Does it work on any other display or projector?

W530 Nvidia Discrete Mode - problems in PowerPoint and Excel

Hi, I've experienced problems with window refreshing in PowerPoint and Excel while running W530 in Nvidia Discrete Mode. While creating and wiewing PowerPoint 2007 presentation in normal view the slides' miniatures are not refreshing when selected. While viewing worksheet in Excel with border lines applied to cells they are not refreshing after scrolling down so the screen becomes completely unreadable. The problem does not exist in Optimus or Integrated mode.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yeah, all updated via Lenovo "System update" and Windows update. I have not checked if the problem exists in newer versions of Microsoft Office - I'm using 2007. What is interesting in Optimus mode on external monitor running on Nvidia everything is OK - no display refreshing in Powerpoint and Excel is present only in Discrete Mode.

W540 Thinkpad Nvidia Quadro K1100 Issue

I bought a new W540 Laptop, I disabled Intel Graphics card and I tried to open NVIDIA control panel.
It gives me Error NVIDIA Display settings are not avilable. you are not currnently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU.
I tried to uninstall and install the driver agian. I check dvice manager and the driver is installed proberlly.
Any advise how to solve this issue.
Thank you

You can't actually disable the Intel graphics. The display is always driven by Intel graphics, and the Quadro just renders frames when it is on, sending them to the Intel graphics to display them.

Projector Issues Using Maverick OSX

After upgrading to Maverick - Mac book pro retina would not recognize any connection to a projector. This was true using both USB ports and thunderbolt. Removed using time machine back to Mountain Lion and no problem. Any ideas!

Never had that happen to me with Keynote. Are you sure the VGA connector didn't come loose?
I've had similar issues with other apps, e.g. iCab Mobile. Unlike Keynote, they don't prevent the iPad from going to sleep. And I found myself struggling to re-enable the connection to the projector afterwards on such occassions. Can't remember exactly what I did, but it did involve unplugging the VGA adapter and restarting the app in question (but neither the projector nor the iPad).

MBP Screen goes black and then restores. NVIDIA graphics card issue?

I've got a mid-2007 MBP, 2.4 GHz, 4 GB RAM, running 10.6.2.
Over the past couple of days I am having random losses of video screen. I will be on a webpage, doing nothing with it, and the screen will go momentarily black. It normally lasts for a few seconds, then restores. Nothing I do seems to affect the blacking out or the restoration.
I have the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics card.
Any suggestions / input on whether I am experiencing the failure? FWIW, computer is still under Applecare.
Thanks

See this KB article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
I have similar issues with my MBP. However there is also a widespread issue on the forums in which the trackpad and keyboard stops responding, and it may be difficult to tell if the problem is loss of video or loss of input ability when the display goes to sleep automatically. I'm currently in this boat. I'm not quite sure if I have a video problem of if this is the issue with the trackpad/keyboard connection.
The video card issue appears that apple will pay for out of warranty but they are not addressing the widespread problem with trackpad and keyboard loss of function and if you are out of warranty you are out of luck.

NVidia GeForce4Ti Performance Issues

It is my understanding that there is an issue with the nVidia Drivers included in the 10.4.3 that affects frame rates in several games, in my case World of WarCraft. I have been told that a new version of the driver that fixes this issue is currently under development.
Does anyone know of any workarounds for this issue? Or have any update as to the progress being made to resolve the issue?
Thank you.
PowerMac G4 Quicksilver Dual 1GHz Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Im using a powerbook G4 with 1.25g of ram and NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 graphics card with 64MB DDR memory. Now World of Warcraft being the only game i play i was expection top quality from this powerbook since the game requires a lot of hardare on my side. im getting decent frame rates. Not terrible, but there is DEFINATLY major room for improvment. Sometimes i get like 2-3 Frams per sec. And i average about 15 regularly. Thats not what i should be getting with a top name brand computer/graphics card. and 1.25 gigs of ram. People said mac and nvidia are aware of this and working on an update....so WHATS THE DEAL??

D11 Mac Projector Issues

Hi.
Most of my director authoring involves creation of full
screen projectors with a black background colour set for the stage.
I have noticed that all projectors I create with D11 show a brief
flash of white on the stage (but not surrounding the stage) when
the projector starts. This is with either a full projector for a
very simple test movie (created from scratch in D11) or a stub
projector with an updated movie (from Director MX). This is not the
case with Windows projectors tested.
My computing details are:
Authoring Environment: Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Intel)
Playback Environments: Mac OS X 10.4.11 (PPC & Intel),
10.5.2 (PPC)
I cannot deliver projectors with this issue to clients.
Help!
Thanks, Julian.

Sort of a low-tech approach, but does it "fix" the problem if
you make a
black #shape sprite on frame 1?

Projector issues using Keynote

I've been using Keynote on my iPad for teaching, and it's been great so far. However, I've noticed that, sometimes when I'm talking and not using the iPad, the projector will lose its connection to the iPad. Once that happens, no matter what I do (restarting projector, restarting iPad, re-attaching cables, restarting Keynote, you name it) doesn't seem to get Keynote to show up on the projector again. (I.e. Keynote will open, but that special play button that lets you project onto the projector will not show up; instead, you get the regular play button that you see when it's not connected to anything.)
The initial connection to the projector is fine. It's only when the projector somehow loses the connection to the iPad/Keynote that the problem happens.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and, if so, have you solved it?

Never had that happen to me with Keynote. Are you sure the VGA connector didn't come loose?

Flash Player 10.1 Projector issues with FullScreen

I am trying to make a flash player 10.1 projector file (both .app and .exe) and I am having some issues when I go fullscreen.
This was originally a web project, and everything works okay online (or even locally when I click on my .html file). However when I make an .app projector file, and play it, some (not all) of my buttons stop working on fullscreen mode).
I seem to be having problems with any buttons that have an alpha Tween (I am using TweenLite/TweenMax) applied to them on the MOUSE_OVER event.
Buttons with Blur tweens work in both fullscreen and normal screen mode.

I did get it working through a series of steps, I'll include it here if anyone has the same problem. I'm not sure why changing the file name works...but it did!
1. Made sure I had the latest version of the Flash Player/Projector.
2. Opened the .swf file in the Flash player.
3. Published as a projector file with a DIFFERENT NAME as my .swf file.
