Why my new Mac mini  DVI dual link mini display port adapter doesn't work  with my 30"display (LG W3000H)?

Hello There
Can any of you advise on the below? Tried to connect Mac mini with a 30" display through a DVI dual link mini display port adapter. For the first try Mac mini go connected to the display, then i've chosen the highest resolution (2560x1600, native) and right at that moment they got disconected. Since then the display stays black. What can be the issue, is it possible DVI dual link mini display port adapter is not compatible with 30"display (LG W3000H)? It works with DVI male-male cable plus DVI HDMI adapter as long as the resolution stays under 1280x800. Any idea is much appreciated.
Thank you, Vera

Hi,
I can report that my Mac Mini Intel Duo connected instantly and without even having to set it up (on the first try) with my 1366x768 native resolution DELL 50" Plasma Display. It's so beautiful that I just want to stand there and fondle my HDTV as I drool haplessly like Homer Simpson with a doughnut in his mouth. Seriously, no problems.... guess I bought the right cable (ebay).
Before you buy a Duo, make sure you're aware of the airport and bluetooth issues that so many (maybe everyone who tries to use them together) are having. It seems that bluetooth interferes with airport, or maybe the other way around. Anyway, it's messed up. Also, Airport reception is generally VERY poor with the new Intel Mac Mini.
Despite these things, I still love mine (I now have 2 base stations and an airport express for my powerhouse wireless needs, and an external DLink bluetooth-2-USB dongle solved the bluetooth/airport issues... in my case).
FWIW,

  • MacPro eSata Port/Card doesn't work with new Hard Disk

    I just bought 4 x 3TB Hard Disc http://tinyurl.com/d2rglvn (specs of disc)
    Which I put in Macally Enclosures to work on my Barracuda internal Hard Drive externally http://tinyurl.com/clg8yjo
    I already have like 5 x 1,5 TB that works perfectly well with eSata connections (with exact same enclosures)
    **My problem is that my 4 new Hard Discs works really fine with my Mac Pro but only with the USB connections but won't work with the eSata Connection. I tried it on a MacBook Pro with an ATA to eSata adaptor and it works perfectly fine (So my discs are not the problem)  **
    I am working on a Mac Pro (bought in 2007) - Mac OSX 10,6,8 and this is (I think) the card where I put the eSata :
    PCI Card :
    pci1095,3132:
      Type:    Other Mass Storage Controller
      Driver Installed:    Yes
      MSI:    No
      Bus:    PCI
      Slot:    Slot-2
      Vendor ID:    0x1095
      Device ID:    0x3132
      Subsystem Vendor ID:    0x1095
      Subsystem ID:    0x3132
      Revision ID:    0x0001
      Link Width:    x1
      Link Speed:    2.5 GT/s
    I am kind of new using Mac and its support so what want to know is :
    Do I need to update my PCI Card ? If yes how can I do that ?
    If not, what can I do to make my disc work ?
    My disks are eSata III (6GB/s) is it compatible with my  Mac Pro ?
    Thank you Very Much for your time

    Difference between the disk that works in eSata and those that doesnt is this....
    Works : ** 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"
    Doesn't Work : **3TB, SATA III (6Gb/s), 3.5", 7200RPM, 64MB
    it is probably the problem but i don't know what to do to fix it !

  • Mini Display port HDMI doesn't work? How to fix it it doesn't show neither video nor audio

    Hi,
    I bought two days ago a Rocketfish mini DisplayPort to HDMI but I still cannot watch anything in my tv. I've tried everything. I plugged the HDMI cable in differents ports of my tv, I plugged it in differents TV of my house but nothing happened. I dont know what the problem is : the TV's, my MacBook Pro or the adapter. I went to system preferences > Displays but the it doesn't recognize the TV and in the other hand the TV doesn't recognize any signal. Help me plase to solve this problem.
    Thank you

    I dont think is the cable because it works with my playstation 3. Does the size of the tv have any relation to the problem?
    No, the size of the TV makes no difference at all.
    I would try to exchange the adapter.

  • ATI Radeon HD 5770   DVI Dual-Link to VGA

    why my monitor VGA do not work with DVI Dual-Link (with adapter) and work with Mini DisplayPort (with adapter)?
    The Support tell me the DVI support only digital signal , it is true or my exit DVI v.Card not work ?
    Thank you

    work with Mini DisplayPort (with adapter)
    do not work with DVI Dual-Link (with adapter)
    VGA must be produced by the Video Card. The adapter just switches the signals around. The VGA signals are in the bar at the end of the connector, the four pins around it, and pin 8.
    wikipedia article on DVI pinouts
    If you are using two adapter, adapt directly from the DVI port to VGA with one adapter.
    If the pins (shown in pink above) are missing, you cannot get VGA from that port.

  • T410 running Windows 7 not detecting HP LP3065 connected with DisplayPort to DVI Dual-Link

    I am running Windows 7 on a Thinkpad T410.  I have an HP LP3065 monitor connected to it using an Accell DisplayPort to DVI Dual-Link adapter.  Windows 7 does not detect the monitor.  The NVIDIA drivers are up to date and I have tried powering the Accell adaptor with multiple USB ports.  I do not know if there is a problem with the adaptor or if Windows 7 is just unable to see the monitor with this combination.
    Could someone please let me know how I can diagnose this?  Thank you in advance.

    the same DP to DVI Dual-link cable was able to connect to Dell 1280x1024 monitor in my office.
    Maybe I should used single link DVI cable.
    I will do more testing this evening
    (1) to test the connection on difference 1280x1024 monitor this evening at my home
    (2) try different cable - something link DP to DVI Single-link cable
    Meanwhile, just want to check others experient working with DisplayPort on T410/T510 as I really need to use dual external mornitor with my T410.

  • Cant get external Monitor to run under Mountain Lion with Dr. Bott Mini Display port Adapter and Mac book Pro Retina!

    Hey there,
    somehow I cant get my Zalman Trimon Monitor to run on my new Mac book pro (2012, Retina). I tried hooking it up with the Dr. Bott Mini Display port Adapter see here  ( http://www.google.de/products/catalog?client=safari&rls=en&oe=UTF-8&redir_esc=&q =dr.+bott+mini+displayport&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=9085840057573220630&sa=X&e i=rHMeULWUNo7ysgaZvYGYAg&ved=0CHIQ8gIwBg#ps-sellers )
    Neither on my new mac book (with thunderbold) nore with the 2010 Mac book pro 13 inch from my girlfriend both running Mountain Lion, would it work. Does anyone has the same troubles or knows a reason or fix? The monitor definitly works (tried with my old mac book) and this is already the second adapter I use, since I thought maybe the adapter doesnt work!
    Help appreciated!

    Hey, I've tried to install the new iOS 7.1 but it says that the installation cannot be completed and doesn't say why. I have more than 50% battery left but it still doesn't work, help?

    It probably means you don't have enough available storage on your phone.  It takes space to store the download - THEN unpack it.  Best method is to use a computer with iTunes (This allows you to back up on your computer as well). 
    PLEASE:  Do not purchase iCloud storage space - this will not give you more room for the iOS 7.1 installation.

    My Mac book pro all of a sudden doesn't have the airplay icon and doesn't work with my Apple TV . Why  ?

    The Airplay icon will not display if the OS is unable to locate any Airplay devices.
    I would check that both devices are connected to the same network and maybe even power cycle the network devices - eg router etc
    Maybe even try to connect both devices to another network like an iPhone personal Hotspot and see if that helps to isolate the problem

  • Firefox 3.6.27 (Mac) doesn't work with Google Blogger's Blog Archive links?

    I noticed this just started happening about week ago. Firefox 3.6.27 (Mac) doesn't work with Google Blogger when clicking in the Blog Archive sidebar links. I can't upgrade because I'm using a PowerMac. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!

    I press the combination after having some of the document's text selected, otherwise there wouldn't be anything to apply the paragraph style in the first place. But the real thing is I do the exact same with other paragraph styles combinations (Cmd+Alt+1, Cmd+Alt+2, Cmd+Alt+4, Cmd+Alt+5...) and it works. In Safari, even the one I'm interested in works (Cmd+Alt+3). The natural solution, it appears to me, would be a shortcut conflict, but I can't manage to find it, not even disabling my four add-ons (Adblock Plus, bookmarks-deiconizer, Customizable Shortcuts, YouTube to MP3). The Google forums are not finding a solution either. Anyway, thank you for trying.

  • Female Mini Display Port Adapter - Connect Monitor to Non Mini Display Port

    Anyone know of a Female Mini Display Port Adapter, so I can connect the 24 LED Cinema Display to a computer that has DVI connector? Or hook the monitor up to a KVM, so I can use the monitor with multiple computers?
    I know Apple doesn't make these, but does a third party?
    Monoline appears to be coming out with adapters to hook a mini display port computer to DVI and HDMI, but not a mini display port monitor to DVI or HDMI.

    'Mini Display port' is just a smaller version of display port, which is a slightly different version of HMDI.
    No. You may be thinking of Mini DVI. Mini DisplayPort is a smaller verion of DisplayPort, which is different from DVI and HDMI.
    <http://www.displayport.org/white-papers/whitepapers/DPTech_OverviewEnglish.pdf>
    HDMI, display port, mini display port AND DVI are all capable of being 'converted' from one to another.
    It is easy to make a Mini DisplayPort (card) to DVI (display) adapter because a DisplayPort card can be set to generate DVI signals. (Dual-link DVI is a bit more complicated since the adapter must sepatate the clock and data.). A DVI card cannot generate DisplayPort signals, so an adapter for a DisplayPort display with a DVI card would be a lot more complicated.
    The ONLY thing that you would LOSE in a DVI to display port conversion is an audio signal.
    HDMI is DVI video plus digital audio. DisplayPort does not use DVI video.
    The point is they are all interchangeable, signal wise.
    No. A DisplayPort card can generate DVI signals when a DuisplayPort to DVI adapter is detected, but a DVI cards cannot generate DiusolayPort signals.
    But why should Apple make a cheap DVI to female display port when they can make more money on overpriced graphics card upgrades?
    They can't make a cheap adapter, but they could have added a DVI port to the display.

    iPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?

    At least to 10.6.8. You must do this to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
