Jul 7, 2014 12:45 AM in response to Hessel78by h_luehrsen,I have the same problem with an ASUS PB278Q over thunderbolt. Not responding in any way. The problem got introduced in 10.9.3, the only thing that helped was a rollback to 10.9.2 and that is what I will to tonight. How unfortunate.
APPLE, please fix this.

Jul 7, 2014 11:45 AM in response to h_luehrsenby Panographie,Same thing with a MacPro 3.1 Quad Core Xeon + Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 with 4 Apple Display 23".
Since 10.9.3, the one on DVI-D output always stay off, even after a PRAM reset. The monitor have been changed to verify.
None of Apple nor last avalaible Nvidia drivers solve the problem.
And 10.9.4 changes nothing.
It sounds like an OSX bug.
AN EMERGENCY SOS TO APPLE ENGINEERS

Jul 7, 2014 6:07 PM in response to Hessel78by Hessel78,I brought another cable today and the second display is still not working. So, I wasted money because Apple can't do things right. Shame on you Apple, your high quality products it's over, I miss Steve Jobs, I think he's rolling in his grave.

Jul 7, 2014 7:05 PM in response to Hessel78by BobHarris,Get a free Apple Developer account and report the problem to Apple
BugReporter
<http://bugreporter.apple.com>
Free ADC (Apple Developer Connection) account needed for BugReporter.
Anyone can get a free account at:
<http://developer.apple.com/programs/register/>
And trust me, I've been an Apple user since '88, and Steve Jobs was just as capable of screwing things up as anyone else (he was not a perfect man). I still miss him but I'm not going to blame any problem that occurs because Steve is not there any more.
Rather let Apple know there is a problem, as this forum is just a way to get fellow Mac users to try and help.

Jul 8, 2014 6:34 PM in response to Hessel78by therandyzone,I lost my second monitor, as well... the same thing happened with 10.9.3, and I fixed it with the following kext replacement. I just repeated the procedure, and my monitor is back; Apple, this is getting old.

Re: 10.9.3 only lets me use 2 of my 3 30" displays

down load kext utility here http://mac.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Kext-Utility.shtml
download Kexts here https://www.dropbox.com/s/a510p6a9immdboc/Kexts.zip
unzip the file
delete all Geforce and NVDA kexts located in your system/library/extensions
open kext utility and drop the all the kext files you downloaded on the window
wait till complete
reboot
now all monitors working again!

gatd4's solution worked perfectly for me! It might not work for non-NVDIA Macs, but it worked on my 2008 Mac Pro. Thank goodness - good luck!

Jul 9, 2014 8:18 AM in response to therandyzoneby Hessel78,Hello therandyzone! Thanks for your reply.
How do I know if this is the right Kexts files for my iMac?

Jul 9, 2014 8:39 AM in response to therandyzoneby quarkdoll,I attempted to roll back to the 10.9.2 kext for my AMD 6000 and it made the display unusable even with HDMI (which is what i'm left with after 10.9.3).
WRT the developer account suggestion, this bug has been filed, and refiled... they've known about it for some time (a bug filed against it receiving number 17083693 was closed as a duplicate of the even older 16197028).
With 10.9.4 being released fixing nothing related to this old issue, it's apparent that Apple doesn't care about the subset of users who are crippled by something as basic as having a correct display.

Jul 9, 2014 8:41 AM in response to Hessel78by therandyzone,Hmm... I'm afraid that this particular fix won't do the trick for systems with AMD graphics cards; I should have paid closer attention to your post before I responded to you specifically. I was just trying to be helpful by relaying what had worked for me.
It's distressing that Apple keeps delivering kexts that are clearly causing problems.

Jul 9, 2014 4:11 PM in response to Hessel78by SBCbport,Just got off the phone with support, then senior support. Tried all the usual's, SMC reset, PRAM reset, port tests....
Used a program sent to me to capture my system settings. Uploaded it to engineering.. More to come........

Jul 9, 2014 4:36 PM in response to SBCbportby quarkdoll,Nice.. keep fighting the good fight.
Feel free to refer them to either pre-existing filed bugs (17083693, 16197028). Presumably the latter, and definitely the former, have system state captures and logs attached out the wazoo.
