Of course it was there. It didn't just appear. When you go to the Apple Store website and look at the tech specs for your model, it lists two video cards. Plain as day. Every review of your model on many different websites talks about the two graphics cards and the automatic graphics switching feature. Anyone who cares about graphics cards and buys this model knows it has two cards before they even buy the machine.
It says right there on the MacBook Pro page:
Intel HD Graphics 4000 (all 13- and 15-inch configurations)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 512MB of GDDR5 memory (15-inch 2.3GHz configuration) or NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory (15-inch 2.6GHz configuration) and automatic graphics switching
Two cards.
What evidence do you have that your GPU is being used for something out of your control? How have you determined that this is something outside of normal automatic graphics switching?

Where did all these other Folders come from?

Guys,
Just opened up my Mac HD to find all these extra Folders in there - and I have no idea where they came from!
Also, I have a .DS_Store Icon on my desktop.
Confused as heck! What have I done?

Woops! My stupidity, I did download a hidden file widget.
Thanks petermac87

Where did these extra base stations come from and how do I get rid of them?

I had my wirerless network all set up and running great and then these two random base stations showed up in the AirPort utility and now my internet won't work. My AirPort extreme wont even show up. How do I get rid of them?

Ok, I got my station to show up but I still can't get on line. Does that little red "1" mean that that station is the default now? Anyway, I still need to get rid of these other ghost stations. Please help : (

AMD Radeon HD 6490M Windows 8 - 64-bit Driver

Hi guys,
I have HP Pavilion DV6-6B51EA and curently I'm using licenced Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
I tried upgrading to Windows 8 Release Preview but I can't install driver for my graphics card which is AMD Radeon HD 6490M.
The problem is I can't download and install drivers from AMD website, HP laptops can only use the drivers from their website, well, at least for the graphics cards.
So, I can't use Win 7 driver on Win 8. I would like to know is there any chance I can find a driver that will work, or can you tell me when will HP release new drivers for my latopt for Windows 8?
Cheers

Hi. I tried to do that with the same download package on my Pavilion DV6 CTO Quad edition and it fails to install the driver because of a conflict with the C++ Redistributable 2010 package build into the installer. Does anyone know if HP is going to update the switchable graphic drivers for Windows 8? They better!

HT203254 Macbook pro 15. Intel HD Graphics 3000/ AMD Radeon HD 6490M. Screen seems 'solarized'/pixellated at startup. disappears after 30 minutes. Any idea of cause and cure?

New Machine in Mar 2011. OS version 10.6.8
All software updates installed via Automatic update.
Screen has a 'solarized' look on start up, which disappears after about 30 mins, suggesting a 'warm up' issue?
Am aware of Nvidia issues with Macbook pro but this machine has the following graphics/display on logic board.
Does anyone have a view on this matter and a way of resolving it? Still under extended warranty.

You said the magic words: Still under extended warranty. Take it in for evaluation and repair. That is not a normal situation. The display should not have to 'warm up'.

Where the value of systimestamp/sysdate comes from and dbms_scheduler

I saw bunch of other posts but I could find the post that exactly explaining about where the value returned as systimestamp/sysdate comes from or impacted or I’m missing something and need some help.
Here is my situation
I have an access to this db (let me call db A) and when I access it, I get following result. I don’t have full access to this db so I cannot experiment a lot here.
SYSTIMESTAMP CURRENT_TIMESTAMP LOCALTIMESTAMP DBTIMEZONE SESSIONTIMEZONE
27-MAR-13 02.31.55.041411 AM +00:00 26-MAR-13 07.31.55.041416 PM -07:00 26-MAR-13 07.31.55.041416 PM +00:00 -07:00
I’m in PST timezone.
I have my db which I have full access as well as its host.
I can make result like db A on my db if I started up db and its listener while TZ environment variable equal to UTC.
Now I saw in other post that someone was trying to retrieve systimestamp value in a job executed via dbms_scheduler.run_job.
So I did that in two ways. 1 with use_current_session = true and 2 is false for the same.
On my db, results are the same (both returns time in UTC) but on db A, I got UTC time when use_current_session = true and PST when use_current_session = false.
So questions are:
What could be the difference in setup between my db and db A?
Is there a query, logfile, or anything I should check to find out what can be the difference?
Any clue about where to check will be appreciated as well and please let me know if there is some additional information necessary to provide me some help on this.
I tried to find the cause with my db and I could see the same result as db A which is to see UTC time if use_current_session = true and PST time if use_current_session = false by bringing up the db listener after I set TZ environment variable equal to PST8PDT. However this causes systimestamp from sqlplus session become also a PST time.
The reason I’m playing around with the setup and checking systimestamp value is because we are facing the situation where everywhere except pl/sql job submitted by enterprise scheduler service is pointing wrong timezone (PST instead of UTC) and I’ve been searching the solution or clue for where to look at.

Hi Stephen,
I think your first thought about using a javascript timer, call an APEX application process to get the new value and finally set it in the page 0 item would be the way I would take. :)
+"Also, the message shown may vary depending on who is logged in, i.e. the user session. More than user is logged-in at the same time."+
In case you use an application process this shouldn't be any problem.
Some useful links: [Carl Backstrom's example|http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:11]

Where does the smiley Mac face come from?

Hi folks,
Forgive me if I have the wrong forum but I couldn't find a more appropriate one. A few times recently I have come back to my machine when I've left it with aMule running (an eMule file sharing app) and I've found a smiley Mac face on the bottom of my desktop, just under where the Widget icon appears in my dock.
This face then remains on top of any other window I open. If I reboot the machine it disappears but I am just very curious to hear if anyone can explain how or why it gets there?
With my utmost thanks as always to anyone who takes the trouble to respond to my pesky query (thank heavens it's all I have to worry about for once
Kind Regards
Bernard
Powerbook G4 1.67mhz 15" Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Thanks Jrsy
I guess that's the best place to ask. I am assuming it must have something to do with aMule but I just wanted to check in case anyone else is familiar with this scenario and can explain it. It seems to be malign enough, but I am a little concerned as it would suggest that the fact that I've only granted access to my shared folder for public use, this does not prevent me from the possibility of receving some unwanted stuff elsewhere and I am therefore a little concerned I might be leaving myself open to more malicious actions?
Much appreciate you bothering to get back to me
Kind Regards

Very slow graphics when using AMD Radeon HD 6490M with Yosemite

I'm using a 15" MacBook Pro early 2011. When I switch to the GPU using gfxCardStatus (or because an app requires it), all graphics become very slow: window dragging, window miniaturize animation, moving the mouse in the menubar etc. 3D view in Maps.app is very slow. All is fine when using the integrated Intel HD 3000. I did not have this problem with Yosemite Developer Previews (I did not install the GMs), nor with Mavericks.
I tried using AMD kext from the DP, but things are worst (I suppose the kext are not loaded at all because the signature does not match).

HT6240 Where does the DEP Supervision Profile come from?

I've configured a server instance in DEP and successfully enrolled an iPad with OTA Supervision using Casper 9.4. I cannot figure out where it got the Supervision Profile from, and why it correctly states the name of my school district. I did not upload it anywhere that I remember..
thank you,
chris

Thank you. I now see that is coming from the DEP account information.
I was looking at an iPad that enrolled using the prestage settings but must have been supervised still from Configurator.. And the district name was slightly different than the DEP info! Confusion reigned at the end of my day..

Billprint program where does the prior reading value come from? which table

hi all,
In billprint pgms the value is stored in structure ERDZ but i'm not able to find how these values are populated and where?
i need to know from which table prior reading and current readings are populated..
is there any program that triggers the billprint forms, if so how to find it?
pls suggest those pgm names.
thanks

Hello,
If you have already attached the form in your contract account and you have done your meter read and Billing, you get these values during running of Invoice program.
Pls look into EABL

Where does Confirm Password Change Box come from?

Now A box pops up asking the user to select which user they are changing the password for. I don't want this. I can't see where the code is to genarate this or how to remove it.
Does anyone have any ideas how to stop this happening?
Thanks

Where does the name space prefix come from

When I test my mapping in the Integration Builder both my mapping type and my name space get prefixed with nsX (ie ns1, ns2, etc). How can I tell in advance was the X value will be?
Thanks
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
there is no possibility.
According to the XML namespace declaration the prefixes are just internal aliases with no external meaning.
E.g. <ns1:abc xmlns:ns1="http://www.sap.com" /> and
<iLikeLongPrefixes xmlns:iLikeLongPrefixes ="http://www.sap.com" /> are totally equivalent according to the XML namespace specification.
Therefore, everyone (human or machine) who produces a program can choose the prefixes as he wants. Moreover, he may change the rules for creating these prefixes without being incompatible.
Consequently, the namespace prefixes should not be important for you.

Where does this /etc/init.d come from?

Hi,
I just noticed that I have a /etc/init.d, which I am pretty sure doesn't belong there (at least it wasn't there before).
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-01-16 16:31 init.d
I checked my pacman.log for packages I've installed the day this directory was created:
glib2 2.14.5-1
kernel 2.6.23.14.1
less 418-1
thunar 0.9.0-2
xorg-init 1.0.7-3
python-pysqlite 2.3.5-1
namcap 2.0-1
devtools 0.4-1
The only package from that list from which I, as the luser that I am, think could potentially cause this is xorg-xinit. I had a look a the PKGBUILD but couldn't find anything to back up this assumption.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
PS.: I swear, by the flying Spaghetti Monster, that I didn't create it myself .

Nothing to contribute, but I just appreciate how phrakture, and other devs/admins, are involved in the forum, it helps create an amazing community.

Where do the graphics in templates come from?

I'm trying to use an existing template in Pages to create an invitation. It doesn't suit my needs but I'm trying to make it work. I don't want to purchase a template, though I've not even found anything affordable and appropriate in my searches.
Anyway, as a former PC user, I'm accustomed to being able to change a graphic in a pre-designed template. But I can't find a source for the graphics used in Pages anywhere on my iMac! I used to have thousands of 'clip art' images at my disposal. Is there nothing comparable on a Mac?

I guess I should have tried your suggestion before responding. I cannot locating anything remotely similar to an image in the path you described. First of all, when I go to my 'applications' folder I hit a dead end at 'Pages08'. There is no pages 'folder' that contains these shared resources. I've searched 10 different ways, including a spotlight search on the file name in the original response. Can anyone give me another path or a suggestion for a spotlight search that would turn up this 'content' folder of shared resources?
Again, many thanks.

Where do the song title names come from?

i just bought a cd off ebay, one which i believe was manufactured by the person who sold it to me, because i don't think the album was ever released on cd, only in mp3 form.
anyway, i put the cd in, and instead of the correct track listing coming up on itunes, each track listing had been replaced by a title which insults the artist who made the album.
i'm trying to find out if these new, insulting track names were somehow encoded by the album seller who manufactured the cd, or whether the names were encoded into itunes library of track names which were then matched up with the code of the tracks on the cd when i put it into my computer.
anyone know whats up?

For CDs, iTunes does a query to the Gracenote database to get the track info. Since Gracenote is user-updatable, somebody apparently put bogus data in for that particular CD.
To correct the info, right-click the track, Get Info, go to the Info tab and type in the correct info.
