Want external widescreen not internal 4:3 - but perspective is stretched...

Hello,
I've just plugged in a new external widescreen, using the mini-VGA to VGA adaptor (btw, I know that spanning doesn't work - it only mirrors).
The external screen just loads up in the iMac's maximum resolution (1024x768) and is stretched. I want to make the perspective correct and I'm not sure how.
The only other settings in my displays are 800x600 and 640x480. I've just downloaded SwitchResX but I'm hesitant to simply make a new resolution.
Any suggestions?!?

We know that Apple has limited the Graphics cards in the iMac G4. There is a hack called "Screen Spanning Doctor" that will re-enable all the available resolutions and allow dual-screen mode but it only works for the 1GHz 15" iMac G4 (which is a GeForce 4 MX). Applying this hack may permanently damage your iMac and will invalidate any warranty left.
This hack won't work on the GeForce 2 MX machines like yours. Here are the developer specs for your display.
Personally I would advise sticking to XGA. This is the highest you can output.

chi45,
You must have your iTunes and App Stores set to the same country that your billing information is based in (i.e.: must use a US credit card in US iTunes and App Stores).
If you move to another country, you need to change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account. Otherwise, your credit card might not work as payment. For example, only German credit cards can be used to buy content from the German iTunes and App stores.
Can't change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store account

RSRV - error - 0MATERIAL is in external and not internal forma

Hi,
When i do the RSRV for material in my system i get the following errors
1) Value 0100001808 for char. 0MATERIAL is in external and not internal format
2) Value in SID table 0109/ correct value 000000000000000109/ SID in SID table 57961
how to resolve the errors ? any idea
Regards,
BWer

Hello BWer,
If you cannot make the change in OMSL, you will have to convert the material numbers in a transformation when loading. As per note 555675, the settings in R/3 and BW must be identical.
If the source is an SAP system, it is expected that the material number will have the correct format and the conversion exit will not be called. If the settings are not the same as per note 555675, you will entounter problems.
Best Regards,
Vincent

I just want itunes music and database to be on external HD not internal

What am I doing wrong. I have itunes music library on my external HD and my itunes preferences say that my itunes music folder location is just that. It's about 41 GB. Ok, but why on my system drive is there an itunes folder in the default user music folder and it is 7 GB and there are certain titles in there that did not make it to the external. The database files are in there as well. Shouldn't everything be located in the external itunes music folder including the database files ? How do I have itunes automatically update the external HD folder and put the database files in there as well and stop using the internal system drive for storage and database.

I did that a while ago. But now it seems there are 7 GB of stray files. Is there a sync feature that moves only the itunes files that are outside the designated itunes folder, in my case they are living on the system drive for some reason...

External HD not mounted on desktop but available in File Open

I have an Intel MacMini which I have recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. The internal hard drive is about 80% full so I have bought a WD My Book Studio II 1TB external drive which I currently have attached by USB (as I saw some people were having issues with FW connections).
I use SONOS music players and have my iTunes library on this external HD. It seemed to work fine for the first few days but now the SONOS cannot find the music library. When I login to the Mac I do not see the WD drive mounted on the desktop but it appears with a green light in the WD drive manager and I can also see it as a mounted drive if I click in File>Open in an application such as Text Edit. My applications such as iTunes and iPhoto canont see the data stored on this drive but within TextEdit I can open folders so the drive must be attached and working to some degree :-/
Does anyone have any idea why it would be behaving like this and what I can do to rectify this?
Thanks
Amanda

External Drive not mounting on Desktop but visible on sidebar

I have an external drive Iomega 1T that appears on the destop on Snow Leopard and all is perfect with it, but not showing on the destop in Lion (installed on another internal), it shows up on the sidebar and can access it from there without issues. Disk utilities shows it and can repair permissions and all but can't mount on desktop, my only option there is to unmount it, but is not even showing up on desktop to unmount it.
Do I need to reformat it to mount on desktop? Any help is appreciated.

A little bit, yes. What got me a little confused was that all of my 3 internal drives showed up, and I thought that by selecting it to appear on the sidebar would be visible on the desktop. Thanks again, Lion is very snappy on my early 2008 8 core 2.8, like having a new Mac .

External HD not detected in MacBook but iBook

Hi All:
I have below systems with me >
* iBook G4 running Tiger with 1GB memory
* Previous MacBook running Tiger with 2GB memory
* New MacBook running Leopard with 4GB memory
* New iMac running Leopard with 4GB memory
I have a 100GB external HD connected to my iBook for 2 years now, via USB. And my Previous MacBook used to read and access data from the same HD too. I dunno if I have changed any setting or any software update technically forbid the access from any other Mac systems except iBook, which I bought with.
In iBook, the external HD works perfectly. I eject it, connect it to any of my MacBook now, the light on the device is turned on but nothing moves in Finder. There's no icon, unlike in iBook where a USB HD icon appears below Macintosh HD. I tried to partition and erase everything, remain Mac OS (Journaled) format, but no luck. It's properly detected and accessible by iBook but not any others.
Have I possible changed anything without knowing it ? Can someone share with me what to do next ? The external HD works well but I dun understand why none of other Mac systems recognise it, except the original iBook. Thank you.

Hi:
I am using a 100GB from Samsung. Should have mentioned earlier. It's USB-powered. I never use it with any adapter. I just plug it into iBook G4 and in less than 2 seconds time, drive pops up in Finder perfectly.
However with MacBook running either Leopard or Tiger, the light will be on and you hear it spinning. I tried to plug in adapter last night, still no luck.
I re-partitioned to GUID or Master Boot or Apple, either Mac Extended (Journaled) or MS-DOS, none of them works.
Then, last night I tried to boot-camp Windows XP and to my surprise, it was detected without any problem ! Oh...... So now I think the problem is not in USB port, not in the power adapter (which I never use), not in the format, it's in Tiger or Leopard for MacBook.
Tiger I use on iBook G4 is 10.4.11 (no problem at all)
Tiger I use on MacBook is also 10.4.11 (not detected but light is on)
Leopard I use on MacBook is 10.5.2 (not detected but light is on)
I spent so much time transfer data from external HD to iBook then to iPod then to MacBook. I just dun understand. Thank you for all your posts. ^_^

USB external drive not readable by mac but readable by windows

Hi, I have a usb external drive (Seagate FreeAgentDesktop Media) which works fine with windows xp but cannot be read by the mac. I reinstalled the mac a couple of days ago because it was being very slow and I had a bunch of junk on it. Anyway, after that, it won't read the external drive. It will give me an error message saying that the disk is not readable by the computer. Sometimes it will give me the message saying that the drive was unmounted improperly by windows and for me to unmount it correctly. When I go back to windows, it's there, then I restart and go back to mac, it'll give me the message that the disk is not readable. I have 2 of these drives and both of them have this issue. I also tried disk warrior but it says that the file system cannot be rebuilt. I tried USB flashdrives and they work. I got all the data off of one of the external drives into the other and I couldn't format or even erase the drive because it says that the permission was denied. However, I could format it and erase it with the installation DVD. But I had the same result no matter what format they were in. I have very important data on these drives and I really need to be able to use them with both operating systems. Thanks a lot!

Hi Schmerz Meister;
If DiskWarrior say it can rebuild the disk about your only other alternative it to reformat it.
This will of course destroy all data on the disk so make sure you have copies of the data elsewhere,

Lacie external HD not appearing on desktop but recognized in disk utility

Hi,
I have a Lacie 1Tb external HD. It worked fine when I first purchased it about 4 months ago but recently when I connect the external to my MacBook, it is not recognized in Finder nor does it appear on the desktop. However, when I open disk utility the external is recognized but I can't verify or repair it and there is no "mount point" associated with this drive. Has anyone encountered and fixed this type of problem.
Thanks

Save photos on external HD, not internal HD for iPhoto

I just purchased my first Mac, 13.3" MacBook.
Is there a way to view my pictures in iPhoto, but keep all my photos on my NAS, not my macbook HD?

Importing is more complex because you can not use iPhoto to import photos from your source device - you must use some other means to move the photos to disk and then put them on the NAS where you want them and then import to iPhoto from there
And if the NAS is over WiFi you may encounter speed issues
Deleting photos required that you first delete them from iPhoto and then delete them from the NAS device - two steps with a chance for error rather than a single step in an iPhoto managed library
And you take responsibility for assuring that the path to the original photos never changes in the future

External drive not working on iMac, but works on Macbook Pro

I have read a few different threads relating to this question, with no real luck of a permanent solution.
I have an external drive that works perfectly on my Macbook Pro. My new iMac will not show the drive though (both with the current software).
The drive itself shows a power light and appears to be running/powered by the USB port.
I have tried several ports.
It does not show in Disk Utility.
The option in settings is set to show the drive in finder and on the desktop (I have checked this).
I have tried restarting the iMac.
I have also had this problem after the iMac has been turned off overnight, and turned on in the morning (and then plugging the drive in after powering on).
I resolved this issue once by turning off the iMac, removing the power cord for a few minutes, and powering it up again.
I don't think it should be something I have to do every time I would like to use the drive though - It would be very irritating if I had to do that every time.
Any advice or options here?
The iMac has only been used since Christmas day, 2014 - and has had this problem since that day (in which i solved it by the turn off/unplug thing).
Sorry, I am aware this question has been asked a lot. I haven't come across anything that is giving me a long-term solution to this problem.
Happy new year!

Some USB-powered drives are just crappy. They require too much current from the USB and cause the bus to fail or the bus can't provide enough power for it to fully spin up. You can often hear or feel them clicking periodically (like once a second) as they are trying to spin up.
If this is the case, a powered Hub, external power supply, or Y-cable will be necessary to consistently use the drive.

Tables - Only want Outline Border not internal borders

Hi
Im using MX 2004.
I'd like to add a coloured outside border to my table but
when I select the
table and choose a border colour it is automatically applied
to all cell
borders i.e
including the inside borders. How do I remove the internal
borders or
simply set an outline border only?
This is proving to be rather cumbersome - spoilt by the ease
of tables in MS
Word!
Thanks for any info.
Ian

External hardrive not workon on MacBook Pro

I own a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex that is 1TB and have had it for about 3 or 4 years. I used to be able to plug it in and with ease insert files (pictures, music, documents, etc .. basically everything in case my MacBook stops functioning.)
Back in May, I took my external hardrive to my University before I graduated and I could not insert some video files (using another computer, which was a Mac.) Our school's tech expert said it was because my external hardrive is not applicable with Macs. Long story short, I showed him I can do it on my MacBook Pro, then I had to save my video files on a flash drive instead. Anyway.
I want to back up everything incase the MacBook stops working soon (it's six years old.) However, when I put in my external hardrive, I can't change the name of files/folders in the external hardrive nor can I insert anything into the hardrive. Oddly enough, I can drag stuff into my desktop and it will copy a file into my desktop while the same file still stays on my hardrive.
My MacBook Pro is Version 10.9.5 (if it matters) and I have more than 90 GB of free space on my MacBook and have nearly 700 GB of free space on my external hardrive and obviously I'd like to use that. Also, I'd like to use my external hardrive not just on Macs, but all machines in case I need to save large files. I used to be able to do this at one point, especially with a previously owned hardrive (it was Western Digital.)
Anyway, that's all the info. All help would be greatly appreciated.

I meant to also say that your school's tech expert does not appear to be much of an expert.

I downloaded and installed Lion on an external hard drive using my laptop which is running Snow Leopard I have now decided that I want to install Lion on my Laptop, but when I go to the App store and click on my purchases it will not download

I downloaded and installed Lion on an external hard drive using my laptop which is running Snow Leopard I have now decided that I want to install Lion on my Laptop, but when I go to the App store and click on my purchases it will not download again

Thanks Dirk,
Tried your suggestion various ways but it had no effect the download button was still greyed out and the install button would not activate will keep trying to find a solution. I dont want to boot from the external hard drive that has Lion on mainly because it is a usb HD and the connection to my wireless modem slows the connection rate and downloading would take about ten hours

Want external widescreen not internal 4:3 - but perspective is stretched...
