10.8.4 External Display Problem

Once again another update and another **** up by Apple. Getting sick of this crap! Had to move to VGA in the first place because there was issues with DVI cutting out and not working with my 2009 MBP.

Every time updates bring more problems than they fix!!!

Communicated with Apple Bug Reporter and sent them a 'sysdiagnose' and a System Report file, while the display problem was occuring, and then received the following (same answer):

"This is a follow up to Bug ID# 14288383. This bug has been closed as a Duplicate. The issue is being tracked under the original Bug ID# 14319097 which is also listed in the Related Problem section of your bug report. To check the status of the original bug report, please visit the Related Problem section of the Problem Detail view of your closed duplicate bug."

This time, however, the Bug ID# is different. The original Bug remains open, let's hope it will promptly be resolved.

I received a "security update" today, but still no fix for the screen problem. At least with Windows you can back out the new graphics driver and replace it with the old one. No such luck here. Come on Apple!

Same issues, except I can't roll back because from 10.8.3-10.8.4 I changed to an SSD. So the only 'roll-back' option I have is to install the old HD and that's just more moving in the wrong direction. I'd be really esstatic if Apple would just get this issue resolved and quickly? so I can get my media pc back onto my 60" DVI connection and not a temporary 23" HDMI monitor.

Wanted to give an update. My rMBP has two thunderbolt connectors. If I use the one closest to the front all works fine. The other one maxes out at 1080 resoltuion.

Odd as this never happened before until a recent update.

I just went from 10.6.8 to 10.8.4 and couldn't get a signal to my external monitor ...until I did this:

Go to system preferences, displays, uncheck the 'show profiles for this display only'

then click on 'Adobe RGB (1998)', hold option, click 'detect displays' and BINGO. My monitor is working.

Macbook pro laptop went a funny colour but then I could just click back to Color LCD and hey everything seems to be working ...so far. Hope this helps some of you.

Hey Apple ?

Any F*$#ing update or you still don't give a flying **** about your customers ?

I've got the same problem.

15-inch, MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) with a mini displayport

When I updated to OS X 10.8.4 I could no longer connect to my external display. I use a moshi mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. Thought it was the adapter going wonky. Just bought a belkin and still doesn't work. HDMI cable works, tested on other devices.

Out of curiosity I was checking my system specs. (under About This Mac) Under Hardware, it lists Thunderbolt--which I don't have. It doesn't list mini-DisplayPort. I was wondering if it did before. If this has anything to do with the problem.

Yo dude !
Have you finally manage to find a way with your display ?
It still won’t work for me...

Well... It works with an external computer monitor, but not with my old school TV anymore. Same with a friend of mine with the same set-up...

It is definitely the 10.8.4 update. We have a second mac that I tested the display before and after the update, and the same thing happened. Mirror display worked on 10.8.3, but not after updating to 10.8.4. Both computers are using genuine "Apple" connectors.

The only solution I found was do a Time Machine restoration back to 10.8.3. This worked.

I still haven't got mine working. If only somebody from Apple would respond and let us know what the situation is with regard to this problem, it would help a lot.

Apple Guys..Almost everybody has this issue. Why are you not responding?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
