Using 2 15" ADC studio displays with G5?? How??

I have just recently purchased a second 15" studio display to use with my G5 powermac. One display is currently connected to the adc port on the back of the G5. How can I connect the second display? I have seen some adapters you can buy which convert the adc connector to DVI I'm then assuming I can then connect the adapter to my G5's DVI port? Is this possible or do I need something else?

Hi
you just need a DVI to ADC adapter to connect your ADC Studio Display to the DVI connector on your graphics card. As far as I'm aware there are only two types available, Apple's own and Dr. Bott's DVIator. Both tend to be fairly expensive as they come with a power supply to drive the display. In answer to your other post, the power brick is fairly heavy so by buying it from another country I expect the postage costs may outweigh any savings made.
I hope this helps.

  • Using An ASD LCD display with a new Mac Mini

    I want to utilize a 17" Apple Studio Display with my new Mac Mini.
    Does HDMI support the 35-pin Apple Display Connector (ADC)?
    It would require an adapter with female 35-pin on one side and a male HDMI (DVI) on the other. The Apple DVI to ADC adapter doesn't work with the Mac Mini HDMI port.
    If two adapters are needed they must have the correct gender connections.
    Thanks.

    Your correct, you would need an Apple DVI to ADC adapter, And ether mini display port to DVI OR HDMI to DVI adapter. (just a question of witch port you want to use)
    Apple DVI to ADC adapter when they were first released cost about 120; now they're kind of rare and harder to find. Online they can go for 200 dollars. so 120 to 200 dollars to make your display work; and displays don't last for ever they have parts that will break down. Older displays have a light bulb inside them; witch burn out just like all the other light bulbs in your house.
    Also DVI to ADC adapters can some times give you blurry images and or text.
    For 120 dollars you can buy a generic brand 19" LCD. That 19" LCD would have better contrast ratio, brightness, and refresh rate then the old 17" monitor. (and it would have a warranty) Or for 200 dollars you could buy 23" monitor.

  • 23" Studio Display with Power Book (17")

    I am considering running a 23" studio display with my 17" PB. From perusing the discussions here it seems this is entirely possible (although there is some debate over keeping the clam shell closed during operation...). As a photographer and heavy user of Photoshop my concern is this: will I get full perfromance from the 23" in this configuration...will it perform to the extent that it would if connected to a current desktop Mac. Also....will adding a studio display to the PB diminish its performance in any way, either with its own screen on or off? For your information, the PB is relatively new; purchased within the last year. Also, if there are any Photoshop users out there: is it possible to set up the smaller 17" screen for things like palettes etc., and reserve the 23" for the image being edited, only? Thanks.

    It's plug and play, so that's not an issue.
    The debate about running the clamshell closed is so that, if the extra desktop space is not required, there is no point "stressing" the video ram and videocard and cpu by having the other display running - all resources can turn to the external display.
    As for extending the desktop, yes you can do that with Photoshop - you have the space of the PB and the new display, entirely up to you what you put where - just drag across.
    Performance wise, I don't imagine that Photoshop would cause as many difficulties as say video editing might, and I've not come across anyone saying that they have had performance issues from running the extra display - you may get some extra heat as the processor is taxed though.
    If in doubt, you could test at an Apple Store or reseller.
    Also, you might find getting extra ram a useful upgrade.
    Hope that helps, best of luck.

  • 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.

  • 17" Studio Display with 1st gen 12"pb

    I have a 17" studio display that I would like to hook up to my 12" PB from time to time and I'm not sure what I need to do this. I thought I had some of the connectors for this to work but I guess not.
    1st generation powerbook.

    You sound as though you have a similar problem that I am experiencing. I also have a Studio Display (Graphite Clear)
    I was trying to connect my powerbook to a second display which is my old graphite CRT model. After hours trying to resolve the same problem, with my powerbook giving every indication that it was connected and operational, but I was still not getting an image on the CRT screen.
    Eventually I discovered one small footnote on a Cinema Display help forum which said that the ADC to DVI adapter is not compatible with CRT monitors.
    No mention of this is made anywhere on the ADC DVI adapter spec.

  • Use Sun Java Studio 2 with Existing Java Application

    I have started using Sun Java Studio 2 and having fun and little difficulty creating a new Java web application from scatch. My question is where do I find information on Java Studio configuration to allow Java Studio to load up and modify Java server pages/forms in an existing Java application that I did not write?
    The Java application has been created with Javabeans and using BEA Weblogic version 7, with a SQL-Server 2000 database backend.
    Below is a bit of code out of one of the main Java forms.
    <%@ page buffer="256kb" autoFlush="false" errorPage="../../common/system/error.jsp"
    import="psdi.jsp.beans.*, psdi.jsp.common.*, psdi.jsp.app.wotrack.*, psdi.jsp.util.* , psdi.mbo.* , psdi.util.* "%>
    I have looked around and have not found what I need to setup in Java Studio to allow me to load up a form and view it in the Visual designer, I keep getting errors on the psdi. references and cannot load up any pages.
    I see on the server install ia folder under the main root <DIR> called <apps>, and inside the <apps> folder is a folder called <jsp> and in the <jsp> folder are sub folders for each main module within the application with all the related .jsp files. I have been manually editing the .jsp files using Windows Notpad and saving the changes. Then I rebuild the .ear file and my changes work fine. Since I have a lot of changes to make there has to be a better way than using Notpad.
    My hope is somewhere is a point-by-point document on what to so I can use Sun Java Studio 2 to make my changes in a visual IDE.
    Any assistance would really be appreciated.

    Hi Giri,
    Yep, this I know,b ut when I do I get errors messages and am looking for some form of point-bypoint instuction that better explains how to setup up custom libraries in Sun Java Studio, custom tags, etc.

  • Is It Safe To Use Final Cut Studio 3 With Snow Leopard Yet?

    Because of the many problems I heard about using FCS3 with Snow Leopard when they both first came out, I've held off upgrading my OS from 10.5.8. Now that some time has passed, is it safe to install Snow Leopard without worrying about freezes and crashes with using Final Cut Studio 3? Also, have most of the 3d party software developers updated their apps for 10.6? I'd like to install Snow Leopard for my other apps but not at the expense of FCS.

    Hi Jeff, Be sure to also check any aftermarket video cards, firwire cards, all pci cards, external drives external raid / internal raid cards... make sure all are SL compatible and supported. I have not yet upgraded because I'm in the middle of post on a documentary. When I do upgrade, it will be a clean install, not an upgrade. Please let me know how it turns out.

  • Unable to use any Apple Cinema Displays with unplugged 2011 MBP

    My older MBPs have worked with Apple Cinema Displays (I currently have a few year old one and a 2011 27" ACD) while unplugged.  My new 15" MBP however needs to remain plugged in to allow waking (or prevent sleeping) when hooked up to the display in clamshell mode (computer is closed).  Is this a bug, a problem with my configuration, or just the way it is?
    Thanks for any replies.
    Jeff

    Jeff,
    if you want your settings to be the same plugged in while not plugged in, you'll need to do so in energy saver preferences in system preferences.
    once there, you can tell your computer how to act when on battery power or when plugged in. This means telling it to not sleep even when not plugged in, or visa versa.
    if you're talking about using your MBP closed while using the ACD, all you need to do is close it, and move your mouse around. it'll wake up but your ACD will become the main display with your dock and toolbar.

  • Using a non Apple Display with the Mini

    I am considering purchasing a Mac Mini.
    It will be installed in my living room and connected to my stereo to play music from iTunes.
    In this area I only have about 19 inches of width. So I'm looking at purchasing a non Apple display that will fit in this width.
    What requirements should I look for in a display (hopefully to avoid adapters)?

    Recommend you buy from someplace that has a good exchange/return policy.
    Thanks, I always do, especially with a display.
    Some places have a policy that requires a certain number of dead pixels before they will accept a return.
    I ALWAYS test a display with 'Pixel Tester' immediately. If I find ANY defective pixels I return the display, and I never say the word "pixel" to them.
    having one dead pixel that is white, for example, while all others show color, can be annoying.
    And hard to re-sell later. Look on ebay, you will find many ads for used computers and displays that say "No Dead Pixels".

  • 21" Studio Display with Windows

    OK, I had this running once with Win 2000, but I don't know why my studio display is not recognised as an Studio Display in Windows XP.It only goes up to 85HZ as Plug&Play Monitor. I know this is an Appple Forum, but I need to get the 100HZ-Setting for this Monitor. Someone knows which Sony Driver might work for this? It is a 21" Monitor blue white.

  • How do I use my Studio Display with my macbook while closed?

    Just wondering if its possible to use my stuidio dispaly and an external keyboard & mouse while my macbook is closed, and if so how do I do that?

    In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the monitor and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131  When you disconnect from the monitor your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.

  • How can I use my 23" cinema display with a pc laptop?

    I see various questions out there about using Apple Cinema Displays and PCs, but each one has its own twist. If anybody can help with this scenario, I'd greatly appreciate it.
    I use one of the last editions of the Powerbook G4. I just bought a 23" Cinema Display and, of course, love it. It is supposed to replace an old CRT monitor in the home office, which brings me to my problem. Can I hook up a pc laptop to use with the Cinema Display (I ocassionally need the pc laptop and my wife and kid use it as well). I realize it will depend on the graphics card. Offhand I'm not sure which one it is, but the Dell is just shy of a year old and has good graphics, albeit VGA. I need a female DVI (I assume DVI-I) and a male VGA connector. Do these exist? I'm also looking for a PC Card DVI-I graphics card, but I don't know if these exist either.
    I could buy a Dell (or some other brand) monitor that has both DVI and VGA connections, but I really want to keep the Cinema Display. It's gorgeous.
    Thanks for any help.
    Regards.

    Phil,
    Thank you for the reply. I kind of figured this was the case. I have found two "boxes" that supposedly handle this problem. One is from Dr. Botts called Vgator and the other is from Gefen (www.gefen.com), but these solutions are very expensive -- $300 each -- and I am not certain of the quality of the picture. For that kind of money, I could buy a cheap PC monitor and just use the Cinema Display for Mac-only needs, as it was intended.
    Take care.
    Dan.
