USB 2 and Extended desktop

Hello there. Pay no attention the computer listed on this post. This post concerns a Powermac G4 Dual 1.25 and not the iMac g5. Does the Powermac g4 dual 1.25 support USB 2.0? Does it also support extended desktop? Thanks for any info.

It supports Extended desktop as long as it has a dual head graphics card, and you can attach two displays. All MDDs have, I believe, although it would probably have one DVI and one ADC connector. Depending on what display you have, you might need one or two adapters.
As previously stated, getting USB 2.0 connectivity on the MDD requires a USB 2.0 PCI card to be installed. There is no on-board USB 2.0 on any powermac G4.
There are several third party USB card. Make sure the one you get is OS X compatible.
Note, that if you have a USB 2.0 peripheral (such as a printer, or a digital camera) you can still attach it and use it on you USB 1.1 bus, although it will only run at 11 Mbps, however your computer will accept it.

  • Mirror and Extended Desktop - Panasonic 42" 720 image cropped

    I have my 15.4 macbook pro connected to a Panasonic 42" 720 HDTV via the mini displayport. In both mirror and extended desktop mode, the Panasonic image is cropped off on all four sides. I fooled around with all the resolution settings and nothing changes.
    No matter what I do, the menu bar and dock get cropped off by a few pixels. How can I fix this?
    thanks

    Right, your TV is overscanning. That's very common. Overscan has been part of what TVs have done for decades.
    If your TV is meant to be compatible with computer output, there should be a way to set the screen size using the TV's remote and/or menu system so that computer output just fills the screen. So check you TV's user manual about making a connection to a PC for information about how to get rid of overscan on the TV.

  • Video switch and extended desktop

    Is it possible to use a video switch for my G4 and G5 with the display it controls being the only monitor for the G4 and the extended desktop for the G5?
    Mac OS X (10.4.5)

    There is really no dependencie on whether the image being sent through the switch is the primary desktop or the extended desktop. The switch will have no awareness of this. What's going to matter is if you find a video switch compatible with your interfaces and monitor. Are they DVI?

  • Full screen applictions and extended desktop

    I just got my 20" iMac and have connected a 19" LCD to it in extended desktop. My only problem is that when i run a full screen application (like WoW or Front Row) the second monitor shuts off. I don't want this to happen, I want it to stay on and still be able to move the mouse over to it and use the programs that i have opened on it. does anyone know of a way to make this happen?
    Thank you!

    well i found out that the next patch will fix the problem in WoW, but that still leaves front row... is there some patch or hack for front row to add dual monitor support?

  • ITUNES AND EXTENDED DESKTOP

    O guess I can't post a pic as a reference here or attach the thing.
    Ok, I run two 17 inchers down deep and it's 2560x1024 display. Safari takes the extended desktop to timbuktu. iTunes doesn't like to span the entire display. Do people who have HD 30" displays only see like itunes take up 1% of their display area? I'm going to suggest to Apple they allow itunes to resize window freedom for all mankind! Should I use the osx feedback?
    Cherrs!

    well i looked into other media players. no luck. cddb access and altivec importing aiff are nice, i solved this problem by permanently erasing the want in my mind for full screen support, wait what did i just say i don't remember oh i noticed on apple insider that apple is specing a new display interconnect hd interface called udf or something like that. I'm waiting for HD DVD to come out before I buy antother computer or display so I can go hddvd with that technology at that time. I guess at that time I'll drop the money for a 30 in hd display or whatever size they have then. when will lep's or led displays come out to price me nice? epson pringing lcds sounds cool, ok i'm done, hd dvd come soon so I can see all itunes column access thingy last thing hd runs like mud on a 400 mhz g4 (sawtooth) so just for kicks I'll menntion that when hd comes along you'll need a faster cpu to kick the bits, hd dvd for eva peron

  • Zoom and extended desktop

    I can't be the first person to notice this, but all my searching hasn't turned anything up...
    Evidently, when one uses the Universal Access 'zoom' function with a computer with multiple monitors set to extended desktop mode, it doesn't work. The zoom centers on the point at the middle of the extended desktop, and evidently, the software thinks the desktop is only as big as one of the monitors, because you can't move the pointers to the top or bottom of the entire extended desktop.
    This is on a 1.67 GHz PB running Mac OS X 10.4.7, with a 19" LCD attached in extended-desktop mode. The 19" has the menu bar.
    Any help much appreciated,
    Vic
    1.67 GHz Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I use the "zoom" feature as well. I would LOVE to be able to use the feature on my display while giving a presentation in "normal" view without the zoom feature turned on. To date, I have not found a way to make this happen. Any tips?

  • G4 iBook and extended desktop

    I am using my G4 iBook to connect to a projector for presentations and have noticed that MS PowerPoint 2004 allows projecting of the current slide whilst I can see next and previous slides on my iBook screen. However in order to do this I have to switch off monitor mirroring. However in order to do this I need extended desktop, which it would appear that my G4 iBook does not have!!! Is there any way of getting an extended desktop on my iBook in order to use this functionality?

    On an iBook, you can't.
    One of the things Apple does to distinguish the 'consumer' line (iBooks and iMacs) from the 'professional' line (PowerBooks and PowerMacs) is that it prevents dual displays on the consumer line. We know from the video chips that Apple uses, that they are capable of dual display.
    There does exist a hack that undoes the lockout that Apple wrote into the consumer line, but Apple is very clear that installing that hack will void your warranty and possibly damage the computer. This damage is (from what I have been able to glean) from overheating, especially from users that close their laptops while using an external monitor, as venting heat through the topcase is part of the design.

  • Airplay, ATV and Extended Desktop

    I for one really like this feature, but there still are some bumps. For example, When I move a Safari window to the ATV display, start a video, and then try to go full screen, many times it goes full screen on the computer display. I think that this is a behavior that will improve with future iterations of Mavericks, but it is kind of annoying now. Any thoughts on how to make this behavior more consistent (i.e., keep the airplay displays consistent and keep the apps running in these window on these windows)?

  • IMac G5 intel core duo extended desktop?

    I never really got a clear answer on this by searching google. Can I add another monitor to my iMac and make it extended desktop without adding any programs?

    Hi FRD714
    Yes, all you need is the correct Mini-DVI adapter and cable and you can connect up and use just about any display, projector or TV. The following Apple article will help you to determine which adapter you need and briefly explains the Mirrored and Extended Desktop features.

    Hi,
    I am running XP SP 2, on a Dell Vostro 1000, Palm OS Garnet v5.4.7 on a Tungsten E2. I have worked though issues relating to synchronization, Outlook 2007, Docs to Go, etc., in the past.  Thank you board members! 
    Once I worked thru all the initial problems, my Tungsten E2 was sync' ing beautifully to my laptop until a few days ago.  There have been no changes (I know of) to the configuration, but now I receive  "The connection between your device and the desktop could not be established.  Please check your setup and try again."  On the laptop I sometimes get  "USB device not recognized."  I am unclear why I get the PC message sometimes and not others.   
    I have tried the following: (not necc exactly in this order)
    Double checked Hot Sync Mgr settings: Local USB (ver. 6.0.1)

    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    Hello!
    Using a cradle with the Tungsten E2?  Tried bypassing the cradle and just use the hotsync cable?  Tried a different computer yet?  Somehow, the PC is having problems getting a signal from the device.  I assume you have the laptop charger plugged into the laptop during this?  Not going through a docking station or port-replicator.
    One crazy thing you can try is unplug the charger from your laptop, remove the battery from the laptop and leave it out for like 10mins and put it back in and reboot the laptop.  This should not cause side effects but still contact your OEM to make sure that nothing else is needed after leaving the battery out for extended period of time.  Keep me posted.

  • Extended desktop with 2 LEDTVs and VGA?

    Hi everyone,
    I really need some help here.
    I have 2 40" Samsung LEDTVs with the model UA40D5003BRXXM. They are docked on the wall side by side. Basically i want to achieve extended desktop (not mirroring) for my mac mini (if can). Assume I open a browser 1 on 1st LEDTV, i can drag that browser to the 2nd LEDTV. So i can see more stuff at 1 time.
    However I am not using HDMI or DVI as the cables are too short. Based on my contractors, HDMI cable is max 2 meters. So we got them to work on VGA cables. The mac mini and the LEDTVs are quite far away. The cables are already connected below the flooring and hacked into the wall.
    So few questions:-
    a) how can i connect 2 VGA cables to my mac mini?
    b) can I achieve dual LEDTVs for extended desktop here?
    If i can't find a way to do it, then i will have to buy non Mac here i prefer mac if can.
    Any help? Thanks.

    I have never personally used one of these DisplayLink adapters myself. According to their Mac software download page, you can have up to 4 of them on a single Mac. See http://www.displaylink.com/support/mac_downloads.php
    I could not find specific mention of whether it supports using them as an extended desktop rather than mirroring, but as they support up to four screens (on a Mac) and mirroring only applies to using two, one can deduce this means extended desktop is supported.
    Upate: Ok, the user guide does confirm extended desktop support is included, as well as mirroring.
    Note: USB does not have enough bandwidth to drive multiple hi-res screens at the same time, DisplayLink gets round this by using the computers GPU to compress the data before sending it to the DisplayLink interface. They do say it supports playing movies. However I personally would expect that you may see some peformance hit and that the low end Mac mini with just an Intel GPU might struggle.
    I could not find system requirements for Mac use other than that it currently is not Lion compatible - just spotted a beta version for Lion so you could use it.
    If your VGA cable is not solidly embedded in plaster etc. i.e. is reasonably loose, you could consider (after testing the Cat5 HDMI devices) using the VGA cable to pull the new cable through.

  • Tablet PC calibration error in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 whilst in Extended Desktop Mode

    Hey everyone!
    I've run into a snag which hasn't bugged me before because I never used a second monitor, but now that I do, Photoshop and Illustrator don't function properly.
    I am running my Adobe products on my Lenovo X61 Thinkpad Tablet, which is Wacom PenEnabled. It's got the basic digitizer pen and pen pressure features, no stylus tilt or anything.
    Whenever I run Photoshop or Illustrator in Extended Desktop Mode so I can have a different window open on my external monitor and the Adobe app on my tablet screen, my stylus goes strange. It seems to think that the extended desktop is part of the Adobe window, so when I move my stylus to draw, the cursor will appear on the external monitor, usually proportionate to the size of the screen...ie. It interprets the external and tablet screens as one desktop and the top left corner of my tablet screen is the top left of my external, whilst the bottom right on tablet IS the bottom right on tablet, if that makes any sense...sorry.
    So I can't draw anything in photosho unless I set it back to standard desktop mode, or mirrored desktop. I've searched over the net and these forums and I can't find a fix for this. I was walking in harvey norman the other day and the Wacom Cintiq 12" was there on display, and it had the same issue with extended desktop and photoshop.
    Has anyone had this issue before and/or does anyone know of a fix for it? I'll keep searching around and playing with the computer until I fix it and I'll post any solutions I find here if noone else has one.
    My system details are:
    Abobe Photoshop CS3 10.0.0
    Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.0
    OS: Windows Vista Build 6001, Service Pack 1, 32bit
    RAM: 2GB
    HD: 18.2GB free Disk Space (out of 66.3GB on the Active Partition)
    Video: Intel GMA: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family

    I'm using an HP tx2011au tablet pc, using adobe flash cs3 and have the exact same problem. it becomes decalibrated only while the flash window is open, and only while flash has a file open, and only when using an extended desktop. even if flash is open and it has no files open it works fine.

  • HT5019 If my second display is not showing up on the graphics display window, yet the second display is showing a mirror image, how can I get it to recognize the second display and allow me to setup extended desktop?

    I'm running 10.9.2 on a Power Mac from 2013.  I am using two identical HP monitors.  I have a Y adapter to connect the monitors.  Which I'm guessing means the computer is only seeing one display since there is only one display output. 

    There are no PowerMacs from 2013.   The desktop tower from 2006 on got named Mac Pro.    The problem is probably the Y adapter.    You need a videocard with two display ports, or two videocards to be able to make an extended desktop from one to the other.  If you gave us the Y adapter make and model, we could tell if it supports screen spanning or not.
