  • Mac Mini and 17" Studio Display CRT (ADC)

    Is there someone who can tell me if there is a DVI to ADC Adapter to get a Mac Mini to work with the beautiful 17" Studio Display CRT (ADC). Which is an anolog monitor, the adapters i can find work only on LCD (digital) screens.
    Please let me know...

    Do NOT buy the Apple DVI to ADC adapter, it does not work with CRT displays.
    The 'geniuses' at the Apple store recommended that I buy this adapter. It didn't work. I have since found out (after extensively surfing the web) that I am not the only one who has been recommended to buy this adapter by an Apple 'genius'. However, It is simply not designed to work with the CRT's, it is LCD only.
    There is no way to make the ADC 17" CRT studio display work with new non ADC Apple hardware. Apple have simply dismissed it, much to the annoyance of all the customers who had purchased this perfectly respectable display.
    If you want to use your Mac Mini you will need to use either a non-Apple display or one of their new displays. Your perfectly functioning CRT is now a doorstop.

  • ADC Studio Display 17" USB not working

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help.
    I have a 17" Apple Studio Display that connects via ADC left over from my old Powermac G4. I recently bought the new Mac Mini (Unibody) and an Apple DVI to ADC Display Adapter to use with the HDMI to DVI Adapter to connect with the Apple Display.
    This works perfectly however I have noticed the USB ports on the back of the display does not work. Could this be because the Apple DVI to ADC Display Adapter can not supply enough power via the connected HDMI to DVI Adapter to support the display and its USB ports? Is there a way too get them working again?
    Thanks.
    Chris

    Hi. Thanks for that. As you say there must be something wrong with my display's USB circuitry then.
    Just one more question, is the USB cable from the DVI to ADC adapter only for supplying power to the USBs on the display? Since the display's USBs are not working, will the adapter still work and power my display without using the USB connecter from this adapter? If so this will free up one of my USB2 ports on the mini.
    Thanks again.

  • Does studio display CRT work with any new machine at all??

    My old G4 just died. I got a mini but can't figure out how to connect it to this 17" CRT. Is there any new machine compatible with this old CRT? Do I have to find another G4 to work with it or do I have to dump it?
    Please help

    Thanks hsurfer. The link you have provided gives a helpful insight. Those with the macbook pro are able to switch from their 9400 graphics card to the better 9600 graphics card, which resolves the issue, at least with the samsung monitor. We who have the macbook however do not have the option. The problem does seem to clearly emanate from the macbook graphic card, lets hope that a fix is still around the corner, the latest firmware update clearly did not resolve it.
    Im still looking for success stories, anyone who can say that their specific external 22'/24' monitor works fine with the new macbook?
    kind regards

  • 17in CRT Studio Display (Blue & White)-blinking power button

    I have an Apple 17in Studio Display (CRT-Blue and White vintage) connected to my Power Mac G5.
    Last night, I went home, and turned it on..or rather tried to turn it on but found it stayed black, with the power button blinking green->amber->green->amber etc.
    As far as the computer was concerned, the monitor was still there and working (dual monitors...the mac kept the b&w as if it was turned on).
    I swapped the monitors to the different video ports and the other monitor worked fine, so it's not the video card or vga->digital adapters.
    I unplugged the monitor and replugged it, and it stayed with the blinking light.
    Restarting the computer with the monitor attached had the computer still running as if the monitor was working just fine, so it seems to be getting what ever kind of feedback the mac gets to let it know a video card is there.
    Anyone have any idea what could be up?

  • Studio displays and G4

    Will an Apple 21" studio display with the built in 4-port USB hub work with a sawtooth G4? I believe these have a 15 pin VGA, right?

    I saw that your equipment configuration was the same as mine, and hoped you might have some advice on a problem that I posted this evening. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
    My 17-inch studio display CRT monitor (which was working fine) recently died, and I purchased a used, but 'swear-to-goodness-still-functioning' 21-inch studio display CRT monitor from Ebay to use with my G4/ACP Graphic/desktop Power Mac.
    When I installed the new monitor, (connecting the three cables: AC power, VGA and USB), and restarted the computer I saw a clear (but horizontally compressed) band of picture about 4 inches wide running from the top to the bottom of the monitor for the first 30 secs of startup. Then the click of a relay and the picture disappears to leave a black screen. After that, all that happens is a constant 'fluttering' sound from the back of the monitor.
    I tried restarting and zapping the PRAM, but no change.
    Would welcome any suggestions on what to try next....

  • 21" Studio Display geometry is missing

    So, I just hooked up a new 21" Studio Display (CRT) to replace my old one and when I go to Preferences>Displays the geometry is missing. Only Display and Color are the choices. It was there before when the old monitor (the same type, a 21" Studio Display) was hooked up. What could have happened to the preferences just by attaching a new monitor?
    I tried reinstalling the display software (which I still have from when I bought the original monitor) and installing the software Apple Displays 1.7.1, but it won't install on System X (10.3.9) Anyone have a suggestion?

    Hi JayJay,
    Have you tried restarting with the display connected?
    I suspect the problem is probably the Display, which given its age, probably isn't worth spending too much money on.. Maybe you could get someone knowledgable about servicing to try to make one working display out of these two non-working ones.

  • Apple 21" studio Display monitor-help

    I have a G4 and just got an apple 21" studio display monitor
    I work in photoshop CS2 what do I put the resolution at? Color and refresh?
    what should the white point and gamman be? what should the profile on themonitor display?
    I WENT INTO THE PREFERENCES AND LOOKED AT THE DISPLAY..THANKS..JAN

    (for my photos the service I use said to use sRGB the resolution)....
    Then open CS2 and under Photoshop scroll down to Color Settings, go to Work Space and set the RGB tab to sRGB. At the top of the menu under Monitor it should be your Apple 21" Display.
    If it is not then it will change after you calibrate the monitor. Open System Preferences/Desktop and change your desktop to a medium gray (you can change it back after you make the necessary color corrections). Now choose Display, select your preferred screen resolution, and millions of color. Now choose Color from the upper tab to Calibrate the monitor. If you check the box "Show profile for this display only" the menu will be simplified. Now select Calibrate and use the professional mode. Just follow the on screen instructions and do all of the color setting using the 1.8 gamma and native whiter point.
    After the monitor is calibrated you will be asked to save and name the calibration. I would recommend a name similar but different from the default Apple 21" Display setting, you can even include the date if you calibrate often.
    Reopen Photoshop and check the Work Space the RGB/Monitor the setting should be your recent selected calibration.

  • Apple Studio Display power

    Hi--
    Just hooked up a new Mac Mini with an old (G3 era) Apple Studio Display. It works fine, but I know there must be a power adapter that will let me plug the monitor directly into a wall outlet without having to keep it plugged into the old G3--I just can't find one. Is there such a cord, and if so, where? If not, please tell me that my only option is NOT to keep this huge G3 sitting around forever.
    Thanks!

    I think you need the Apple DVI to ADC Adapter:

  • Apple Studio Display USB Hub Evaporated Again

    I had this before and thought it was due to updates and my G4MDD DP1GHZ, however after installing the smelly new PSU, the USB Hub in the Apple Studio Display worked for 3 days, that was with the Apple USB Keyboard and Mouse connected to it. Today I got home, and fired up the computer and wanted to install a CD with updates. The mouse was working. Though when I tried to open the superdrive with the open superdrive key on the keyboard above the star sign on the number entry area of the keyboard, the superdrive would not respond, I opened it with the mouse from the Finder Bar, I put in the CD and then the mouse and keyboard went dead, no connection through the Bus on the Apple Studio Display. I forced shut down, holding my finger over the on/off illuminated switch on the Apple Studio Display. I waited and booted up and there was nothing to the keyboard or mouse so I unplugged it from one USB socket on the display and fully plugged it into the other on the display. Again nothing. So I got my USB extension cord out and fully plugged that in to the USB Hub on the rear of the G4. Mouse and Keyboard working again I searched for the HUB in the Apple Studio Display in Apple System Profiler and it had again evaporated like it had for six months before, after I replaced the original PSU with the exchanged smelly one, it sprang back to life for the last three or so days, working happily but alas, a repeat evaporation. Who knows why?
    I'll just repeat that the keyboard and the mouse are fine, again fully plugged into the onboard USB Bus, does the Apple Studio Display have any diagnostic software available able to detect the functionality of the USB Hub in the Apple Studio Display? That would be a help in sussing out what is really happening between the Radeon 9000 Pro and the Apple Studio Display.
    May I add that the Display part of the Apple Studio Display works fine.
    Please advise.

    After taking another look inside the Case and checking the screws which secured the Radeon 9000 Pro AGP/PCI Card, I removed the screw for the Radeon, the card sprang away to it's preferred location in the AGP Slot and I put the screw back in, now the USB in the Apple Studio is working every boot.
    I suspect that the heat in the case has warped the Radeon Card which then sprang it into an undesirable angle in the AGP slot causing a poor contact to the pins which connect the USB part to the Apple Studio Display.
    Just to add. I do unplug the telephone line from the wall and the Power Cord from the wall socket after shutting down. This is because I do not trust the Power or the Telephone Company after losing the internal modem and the original power supply in 2007.
    Touch wood and hope for the best. I can't say I have the same confidence in the products made in China and assembled in Singapore I had when I originally purchased this computer in Australia in 2003. Buyer beware.

  • Re: Problems with USB hub in Studio Display

    Ok, so I read a couple of posts here about USB hub problems with studio displays. Well... lucky me. I just got a used 17" studio LCD from craigslist.com (a local person) only to discover a day after getting it that it abruptly tries to go to sleep on its own; or the usb hubs in the back stopped responding; and/or it would intermittently flicker on and off like it was trying to go to sleep but couldn't. The screen itself is perfectly fine and clear when its own and I can get it to stay on for awhile with no problems, but just from my impression from the thing, this problem is going to continue. Was there ever a reasonable solution for this USB issue? My computer was running fine before on a 17" CRT Studio Display. And unfortunately, I've already given that one away.
    <--- Poor student, so I'm hoping I'm not SOL.

    Is your USB hub a self-powered one? Meaning, does it have its own external power supply?
    If it is, make sure its power supply is plugged in to a live source. Also, some self-powered hubs have a small selector switch, allowing the choice of bus or self power; if it has such a switch, be sure it is not set to "bus".

  • 20" Cinema display with USB and firewire ports not working

    I have a new 20" display and was wondering why my USB and fire wire ports at the back are not working. I have an external drive that is powered hooked up to the fire wire port and a no powered piano keyboard to a usb port.
    Any help please

    Verify that the display’s USB and FireWire cables are firmly plugged in to the
    computer. Do they show in your profiler?
    Try different ports in the computer.
    Verify that your computer ports are working with other known problem free device.

  • New Mac Pro Won't Work With Old Studio Display

    Hi,
    Just got a new Mac Pro Desktop 8-core only to find out my old Apple Studio Display 17" won't work without a $100 adapter. We're thinking of just buying a new monitor instead. My question is will other brands now work direclty with the new Macs - or would they also need adapters? Is a DVI port the same as a DVI-D port?
    Thanks for any info...

    Thanks so much for the response, Malcolm, I really appreciate it! My old monitor is an LCD, but what we decided to do is since the adapter we found (and HAD to get from Apple directly) was going to cost $99!! We went and bought a brand new Dell monitor instead for $238 - it's fully compatible with the new Mac, and it's 23" (my old one was a 17") - so all's good!
    Thanks again,
    Jacki

  • PowerMac G5 17" Studio Display Not working

    Hello All,
    My PM G5 tower's 17" Studio Display went blank today--no one saw when it blanked, so I don't know if it went all at once or slowly. The thing is, I don't know if it's the display or the video card. The PM is fine, since I can operate it via screen sharing. According to System Profiler, the card (GE Force FX 5200) is working and the monitor is connected properly and shows the correct resolution. I can't run hardware check since I can't screen share when starting from the DVD. Is there any other way to check to see if the problem is in the card or the monitor (other than hauling it down to the Genius bar)?
    Thanks,
    Lou

    Hi-
    If, in the case of an issue with the ADC portion of the card, often times there is no prior warning, as the failure is more often a power issue than VRAM or GPU.
    With VRAM or GPU, there would be visual warnings with pixel errors, banding, and other graphical artifacts.
    The system profiler is virtually worthless for detecting hardware failures.
    As for the display, the inverter board is not that uncommon of a failure.
    Typically, though, this is accompanied by a flashing power light on the display(short, short, long):

    A board may be purchased from someone like this:
