Connecting 3 displays when video card has only 2 ports?

I have a 2009 Mac Pro quadcore with only two display ports on my video card. Is it possible to hook up a 3rd display using an external USB video cards? I haven't been able to get my Mac Pro to recognize the one that works with my Macbook Pro. FYI, this is what I'm talking about: http://www.iogear.com/product/GUC2020DW6/

For another 50 bucks you could add a "real" card that has some hope of actually performing for you:

or for another 150 bucks you could replace your current card with a 5770 (but you would have to upgrade to 10.6.7)

Unity Connection 1.2(1) which has SCCP ports with CallManager 8.5(1)SU1.

For 24 hours I’d like to run Unity Connection 1.2(1) which has SCCP ports with CallManager 8.5(1). Unity Connection 1.2 isn’t supported anymore, we are migrating to Unity Connection 8.5(1) but I wanted to do CallManager 4x to 8x upgrade the first night, and Unity Connection 1.2 to 8.5 upgrade the second night. All new hardware so using DMA and COBRAS.
I'm not looking for it to be "Supported" just want it to work 24 hours while migrating...
Unity Connection 1.x Compatability Matrix will likely never show CallManager 8.5 since UC 1.x is EoL

The primary factor in the integration here for SCCP is the TSP version. You can verify the version of TSP running on Unity Connection with the procedure noted here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/1x/release/notes/121sr2ucrn.html#wp37944
It's a Windows box so the procedure is the same as with standard Unity. Check the properties of AvSkinny.tsp in the \Windows\System32\ folder path.
If you don't care about official support and it's only temporary then I'd say check to ensure that TSP is fairly recent and, if needed, upgrade to the latest release available for install on CUC 1.2(1). Run a number and tests and make sure 1) things function as expected and 2) you don't get a load of TSP errors in the system/application logs.
Cisco notes that product support is based primarily on testing and since Unity Connection 1.2(1) is outdated and CUCM 8.5(1) is brand new, it's not likely that this combination will be tested anytime soon ... but the TSP compatibility between 8.0 and 8.5 is likely to be similar if not the same.

I am pretty sure my video card has gone bad in my macbook pro, I want to retrieve data before replacing it. Is this possible?

My video card has failed and I want to retrieve photos. Can this be done?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
I wouldn't worry about that. Take your Mac to an Apple Store or reseller and let them repair your Mac. If it's a GPU failure, your hard drive is OK, and you will have the same hard drive with the same data after getting the MacBook Pro repaired.
However, it's recommended to make a backup. As you can't start up your Mac, what you can do is to take out the hard drive and connect it to another Mac through a USB to SATA adapter, so you can recover your files

Is this a display problem, video card problem, OS problem, or ???

Sorry for the long post, but it is needed for background...
I spent the better part of the past 2 hours trying to figure out why my G5 wouldn't boot up. It had been off for around 4 days while I was out of town and up to this point I only had sporadic power up problems, usually having to push the button on the front of the G5 instead of the display which seemed to go to pot after a repair (under warranty) in December. Here's where the display comes in.
After running DW, resetting PRAM and SMU, and unplugging everything, I still could not get it to boot past the initial blueish screen (no login prompt). So, on a whim, I unplugged the keyboard from the back of the 23" Cinema Display (clear case) and plugged it into the front USB port of the G5. It booted right up.
So now I start wondering if the power button on the front of the display which has been very spotty and now seems almost toast is a possible culprit. Or if the USB hub in the monitor is a culprit. Or if it could possibly be the X800 XT causing the problem. Keep in mind it was upgraded 1.5 years ago and I never a problem till now.
To make matters more interesting, this monitor has been in for repair twice in the last 6 months for the same problems - the LCD panel keeps going wonky (pinkish coloring on top or sides or bottom or all round) and as such, the LCD panel itself has been replaced twice. The first time I ever had a problem turning the system on via the front monitor panel was after the first repair. So....
I'm thinking the monitor is on it's way out, but I am leery of having Apple try another repair on this since each time it gets repaired it seems to have something else wrong with it. I'm am terribly close to the end of my AppleCare, too. So if I need to do something it needs to be soon.
Or do you folks think it could be the video card? Which would suck just as bad considering how much that cost when I bought it. Let me know your thoughts on this so I can make a decision on which avenue to explore next. I dread going through AppleCare again, though.....any way to skip right to level 2 or higher support???
Thanks.
Anthony C.

Well I called AppleCare yesterday and, believe it or not, we actually got the USB ports acting normally - well at least I can boot up with the keyboard plugged into the back of the monitor.
They had me reset the Open Firmware and that seemed to do the trick. Of course, the night before I updated to 10.4.10 so that may have had something to do with it, too. No idea.
As for the power sensor button thing, they wanted me to plug the monitor into a different system, either at a Genius Bar or a friend or whatnot to see if it would behave in the same manner - not wanting to activate. I took it to school with me and hooked it up to one of my teacher's G5 and it behaved the same way. It took like 15 times touching the sensor to bring the system up.
So I'll be calling them back and see where they want to go with this. Maybe I'll get lucky and get a new shiny monitor - or not...

Ipod 5th Generation charge icon not displaying when in hi-speed usb port

Interesting dilema. Charge icon displays when Ipod first connected, when updating, but as soon as it has finished does not show battery charge icon (lightning bolt)? Therefore I can only assume it is not. This is with battery showing 1/2 full. USB is hi-speed according to PC manufacturers info. Can anyone help?

I am having the same problem. I just purchased an 80GB ipod. I only get the lightening bolt when my ipod is syncing with iTunes. My battery indicator shows half full. How do You know if the battery is charging?

Chimes, no video, no boot when video card installed. Cause?

Dual G5 2.0 (late '04?)
Used for 5 years, then system started suddenly powering off. Eventually wouldn't boot. Tried swapping out ATI X800XT vid card for a 9600 (both AGP) & it worked again for a couple days, then wouldn't boot again. Put it aside for a while, came back to it yesterday, and came to these conclusions:
1) with X800XT installed, the system (PSU) clicks once, then nothing. no chime, no lights, no fans.
2) with 9600 installed, it chimes, power light on & steady, fans start, I hear the HDD click once, then nothing. no video out. eventually the fans go into overdrive.
3) WITHOUT a video card, it chimes, light on, fans OK, and I hear the HDD running through what I assume to be a boot sequence.
4) I have reset the PMU and replaced the battery. Also tried CMD-CNTL-O-F. Nothing.
Thinking it might be the power supply? Where do I go from here to diagnose the cause?
If it's the logic board, I'll tear out the guts & sell on ebay. If it's the PSU, I've read about someone replacing it with a standard PC ATX supply (don't want to spend the $$ for a G5 PSU.)
Thanks for any suggestions!

OK, assuming you have file sharing enabled, when you bring the machine up without video card, can you connect to it from another computer on the same LAN?
The fact that either video card blocks the boot is suggestive of maybe a power supply problem, though in my experience an overload condition perceived by the power supply will result in a click from the supply and the machine powering down completely.
That was a situation I had some time ago before replacing the supply. What would happen was that in a non-safe boot, when the kexts for the Ultra6800 loaded, the current draw would increase and the supply would trip itself off. (Puzzling mystery solution revealed just now in formulating the reply. Thanks.)
That being said, the fact that safe boot doesn't help plus the other differential symptoms between the cards really does suggest a failing power supply. A new supply around the web is on the order of $200, but there are plenty of used ones on eBay for much less, occasionally even a new one goes at a bargain.
One thing you could do is blow the probably well-stocked dust supply out of the power supply. Better to remove and do that outside, but you can make something of a dent with the power supply in the enclosure. Just be sure to do it outside, because the dust that can come out will probably be pretty nasty. (Of this I have personal experience!) Of course, under what you have reported, this has a slim chance of actually helping.

Connecting JAVA with Video Card

Hai,...
Can someone tell me how to connect Java with a video card (like Matrox, dec-link, etc)?
Because i want to display a video using that video card to a TV monitor.
Is there any tutorial about this? and about connecting JAVA with other device?
Thank you,

Whenever I update my apps sometimes it takes me to my brothers account that we used to share and it does that when his card has no money buti have my own and it takes me to his .

It only does this when his account has money yet his account is deleted off both my iPhone and iPad

If apps were downloaded on his ID, only his ID can update them.

MBP Thunderbolt 2, connect 3 external monitors via 1 only port ?

Hi Apple Communities,
My "old" mybookpro late 2009 died 3 days ago (motherboard).
So I buy a new MBP Retina 15" Late 2013.
I would like to plug 3 external monitors for more confort to work (one for Virtual Machine and 2 for OS X mainly)
(but not Apple Thunderbolt Display, nice but too expensive for my budget).
My question : Thunderbolt 2 and DisplayPort 1.2 are the same right ?
If yes, this interface should allow to connect peripherals by "daisy chain".
Because the lack of connectivity of the macbookpro, I would like to check if it's possible to use 1 Thunderbolt 2 port to plug one monitor and use the first external monitor to the 2 others. For example with this display Dell UltraSharp U2413 with the DisplayPort 1.2.
I want to keep the other Thunderbolt2 port to plug my external drive (with the firewire adapter) or plug my NAS in Ethernet.
I'm not a gamer but I work on Video Editing, Webdesign, Code so I need good performance too (3 x 1920x1080/1200px will be fine, if I can have better resolutions, it's ok ! )
Thanks for your help !

You can either use a FireWire hub or connect one device through USB. If either drive has two or more FireWire ports, it can act as a hub.

I have a 3rd generation iPad running iOS7.0.2, and since updating to iOS7, it will not mirror to an AppleTV. The devices will connect, but the video monitors show only a blank screen. The AppleTV's work fine with various other iOS & OSX devices. Ideas?

I have three AppleTV's where I work. I have two at home. I have an iPhone 4S running iOS7.0.2 which mirrors smoothly via AirPlay. I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and a 2011 iMac, both running Mountain Lion, both of which mirror smoothly through AirPlay. I have a 3rd generation iPad running iOS7.0.2, and since updating to iOS7, it will not mirror. The iPad will connect to the AppleTV, but the TV's and projectors only show a black screen when connected: the iPad screen looks as it should, except that the transitions become jumpy when connected via AirPlay. This is true on both networks: at home and at work. Another gentleman using the network where I work has the most recent iPad, also running iOS7.0.2, and he is having the same problem. I have tried to "Reset All Settings." I have tried to "Restore." Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone else experience difficulty mirroring the iPad through AirPlay since the release of iOS7.0.2?

No problems exists with the router (on either network described above) or the multiple AppleTV's which are able to mirror multiple other OSX & iOS devices seamlessly. The problem is strictly with the iPad and iOS7.

Re: AirPlay with AirServer connectivity problem

This is an iOS 7 AirPlay mirroring bug...
To make matters worse, the iPad automatically drops its mirroring session 45 seconds after it auto-locks.
3-4 mirroring sessions is all it takes for the iPad mirroring to freeze up.
After this happens, mirroring to an Apple TV only projects a blank screen.
Once the mirroring is hung, the only way to fix it is to restart the iPad.
Apple please fix this iOS 7 issue!

Freezes when video card is installed

Hi. I have a lenovo 3000 J115 with vista buisness. I recently put a GeForce 8600gts in the PCIe x16 slot on the motherboard. The computer starts up, but after about 10 min the computer freezes and then i have to shut it down. I have searched on the internet and really haven't found anything. The motherboard has a GeForce 6100 integated into the motherboard. I have disabled the integrated graphics in device manager. I have also went under the bois and changed the video settings to PCI. I have also recently upgraded the power supply to a 400watt, which would have plenty of power for the graphics card. Any help would be appriciated. Thank you.

I'm not too sure this will be any help, but I'll throw it out there to you. Check your Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel (or whatever it's called in Vista... I use XP) and see if there are any previous drivers listed there for your 6100. If so, remove them.
I've had a post here for several days... with no solution. I'm about to help my sister-in-law out with a graphics issue (similar situation and she, too, currently has the 6100). Since I don't own a Lenovo I thought I could get assistance here ahead of time. I've spent considerable time on their website as well. And I'm still waiting.
Good luck.

Issue with Selection Listener when the table has only one row

Hi All ,
I have developed a table in which I am using Selection Listener to perform some task when any row is selected.
It is working fine when I have more than 1 row in the table, but when I have only one row in the table , the selection listener do not call the corresponding method in bean.
I understand that selection event will be raised only when the row is changed, but in the use case when only one row is there, what should be done to make the selection listener work ?
In the selection listener I have written code to make the selected row as current row , and perform the required task.
Please suggest a way out for this situation.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
try removing this attr from table
selectedRowKeys="#{bindings.xxx_VO1.collectionModel.selectedRow}"

APPLE 23'' CINEMA DISPLAY AND VIDEO CARD

Any information for the two products, comparison charts, charachteristics etc will be very helpful and wellcomed.

Try the WinACD drivers from http://sourceforge.net/projects/winacd/

IPhone corrupts USB video card when it connects

I just started connecting my brand-spankin new iPhone to my Dell PC and when I do it corrupts the already-installed USB video card.
I am running a StarTech USB video card to drive a second monitor and I have had it about 9 months and it has worked exceptionally well - until I connect the iPhone via USB cable.
It hangs the second video output and after rebooting I find myself in an endless loop of "reboot because add new hardware has completed installing new devices".
This continues even after I remove the phone from the computer. I need to sync with iTunes, so if anyone has an idea on why this is blowing out my vid card I'd appreciated it.
The system gets so messed up the only thing that I have found to resolves the issue is to roll back to a previous restore point.
Thank you.

Given that your post on this conflict is the only one I've been able to find, I'm led to think it is a computer issue, not an iPhone issue. Not a defender of Apple, but I have a Dell desktop and it has its moments of weirdness -- far more of them than my two iPhones put together.
Originally you said
"I just started connecting my brand-spankin new iPhone to my Dell PC and when I do it corrupts the already-installed USB video card."
If you had been using the iPhone for a year and then connected the usb video card, would you then have said the video card has an issue? Perhaps so, but I suspect it may be neither the phone nor the card but something about the computer.
If you have another computer, try the 3GS and video card with that and see if you get the same result.
