17" LCD Cinema Display does not work on G4 Tower with ATI 9000

Hi,
I have a G4 Tower with the original AGP ATI Radeon 9000B video card. My friend gave me this unit just recently but not the original monitor. Well after he got his new 30" Cinema Display he gave me the original 17"LCD Cinema Display. I was so happy, plugged it into the card and fired up the CPU but nothing! just blank! It is not getting any power for the USB ports or anything. My buddy says the monitor was checked before I picked it up. I yanked the Video card out and put it back in, inside the CPU was clean as was the card, put it back together and still nothing. The VGA monitor I have is connected via adapter to the other input and works fine. I tried doing display settings and the Cinema is not even detected. Is the Video card fried on the digital side?
Do I need a new one?
Here is the info on the CPU:
Machine Model: Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics)
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.9)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 400 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 1.5 GB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
Serial Number: XB0120xxxxx
Any help wold be appreciated.

Hi MFG,
Welcome to the discussions.
The G4 AGP Graphics model originally shipped with an ATY Rage 128 graphics card. The ATI Radeon 9000 graphics card that is installed in your G4 is not the original card.
The ATI Radeon 9000 comes with a native ADC port (which you are trying to use). This port is only fully functional if the computer is ADC enabled. Your model of G4 is, unfortunately, not ADC enabled.
You can confirm this by opening the computer and having a look at the AGP slot (where the graphics card is installed). In ADC enabled Macs, there is an extra slot at one end of the AGP slot to accomodate an "extra leg" that the ADC graphics cards (such as the ATI 9000) have. This extra leg supplies the power and USB feed. You'll probably find this extra leg with no slot for it to go into.
What this means is that you are not getting power and USB feed through the ADC port to your display.
If you want to get the 17" ADC Apple LCD display working off this card (it's definitely the LCD display and not the CRT display, please confirm), you will need to use a DVI to ADC adaptor such as this one:
http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0111-DVAD
and run it off the DVI output.
You can run your VGA screen at the same time (if you want to) off the ADC output by using this adaptor:
http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0117-ADCV
This will work off the ADC port because, although the ADC port is not getting USB or power feed, it's still getting the DVI feed (which is what this adaptor needs).
Cheers!

  • Mac Mini + A1038 Cinema Display does not work

    Hi,
    I have a 2009 model Mac Mini with mini-dvi and mini-display port's on the rear. I can connect any of my DVI based monitors to the mac mini using either the mini-dvi to dvi cable or the mini-displayport to dvi cable. All monitors except for the A1038 model Apple Cinema Display.
    The cinema display works with 3 other computers with DVI ports, turns right on and is detected right away. When plugged into the mini it does nothing. Sometimes I can get it to work with the mini-dvi to dvi adapter but that is sporadic.
    This is the same behavior with a 2009 model mac book pro and macbook. Using the mini-displayport to dvi cable the cinema display does not work but 3 other monitors do.
    So my question is, why does apple hardware only work with non-apple hardware?

    Is the A1038 the old, plastic Cinema Display that doesn't have a power cord or power supply? It only has a video cable with the special ADC on it? If that's the case, it needs this to run from a newer Mac:

  • Macbook pro w/ 24" cinema display does not work in bootcamp windows 7 - any solutions out there?

    I am running bootcamp with windows 7 to be able to access some autodesk software.  Once I'm in the windows environment I can no longer use my 24" cinema display.  Is this a driver issue, video card, any ideas on how to make this function, I really need to display real estate.

    I know this is an old post, but did you ever find a solution for this? I just installed Windows 7 through Boot Camp and bought an older 20" Cinema Display (M9177LL/A); the display works wonderfully on the Mac side, but I can't get it to register in Windows. This isn't the brightness issue that I see a lot of people have, I don't see a way to use the display at all.

  • Connection to external display does not work under windows bootcamp, with a thunderbolt to vga adapter.

    Hello guys, after searching a lot in the forum for an answer to this, I could not find a solution so this is the reason for this post.
    I have a Macbook Pro (early 2011 I think) running MacOSX Lion and I have installed Windows 7 64-bit through bootcamp (version 4.0).
    Everything works fine except that I cannot connect my external display through my thunderbolt-vga adapter.
    The external monitor shows only the boot screen of windows (the one with the windows logo) and then, when I get into the login page it goes blank.
    After reading the forum, I have done several things in order to fix this problem such as:
    Restarting the macbook with the thunderbolt device connected to it.
    Updated to the latest ATI drivers through bootcamp.
    Removed the graphics driver and re-install it again.
    I have tried to identify the external monitor through windows 'screen resolution' tool (attached photo).
    but still no luck.
    Does anyone have any idea on what else I could do in order to fix this? By the way, I find it very frustrating that Apple does not have a stable solution to the problem with devices that are connected to the thunderbolt port.
    Thank you in advance

  • Installed Premiere Pro CS4 but video display does not work?

    I just got my copy of CS$. After installing Premiere I found two things that seem very wrong:
    1) video display does not work, not even the little playback viewer next to improted film clips located on the project / sequence window. Audio works fine.
    2) the UI is way too slow for my big beefy system.
    My pc is a dual boot Vista-32 and XP system with 4GB of memory installed and nvidia geforce 280 graphics board with plenty of GPU power. The CS4 is installed on the Vista-32 partition. My windows XP partition on the same PC with Premiere CS2 works great and real fast.
    Any ideas how to solve this CS4 install issue?
    Ron

    I would like to thank Dan, Hunt, and Haram:
    The problem is now very clear to me. The problem only shows up with video footage imported into PP CS4 encoded with "MS Video 1" codec. So this seems to be a bug. The codec is very clearly called out and supported within various menues but video with this codec just will not play in any monitor or preview window. In addition the entire product looks horrible with respect to performance while PP CS4 trys its best to play the video. Audio will start playing after about 30 seconds. And once in awhile part of video shows up at the wrong magnification before blanking out again.
    My suggestion to the Adobe team: fix the bug and add some sample footage to the next release so new installations can test their systems with known footage.

    Sound works (songs) on Ipad 2 but sound on videos (example utube) sound does not work. Video plays with no issue.Mute us not checked in general settings. Reboot (off/on) has not helped. Deleted apps and reloaded them. Did not help. Any other suggestions thank you

    If you lose sound for games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.

  • View images at 100% in photoshop on retina display does not work...

    using photoshop:
    I have a 15" new macbook retina display. If I want to view a photograph at 100% it does not 'size up'.
    for example, If I open the same image on my desktop iMac, I see the image in all its 100% glory, so I can work on it in photoshop.
    If I view 100% on retina display the image is tiny ( not 100% )
    I never had this problem on my older macbook, so why is it happening and can it be fixed?
    My first though was that because there are 'more' pixels, the image is 100% BUT looks smaller on screen for some reason due to pixel count...
    Thank you in advance for any help!
    cheers

    Hi Nealeh
    Thanks i think I got it working of a fashion.
    Except the replace colour, does not seem to end up with the colour I picked using the picker tool. Its as though it hads not replaced the colour but blended in the desired colour with the old incorrect colour!
    Buy trial and error picking not the right colour but close - which when mixed with the existing colour is close.
    Sorry I can't post the pictures as the Lingerie Mfg, has me under non disclosure.
    The scenario is:-  say a blonded mainly tanned model a high cut [at the hips] corsette style basque, with an ultra low bra line.
    Our dear model, has just come back from St Barts with a fabulous Tan, and equally striking bold Tan lines!.
    So we have great tanned legs, then the 'porcelain white band' where her swimsuit was.
    Likewise we have a tanned face, and arms, shoulders etc and a great tan on the top of the cleavage, then it stops, white band to the top of the ultralow cut bra line of the basque.
    She must have lived in like the most conservative bikini on the planet [50's style], for 2 weeks!
    Had she had a normal skimpy bikini on, no problem!
    If i don't solve it, she will get fired!
    Not a lack of interest in your post, but I was out, and tried to log in to this site; which I could do, on my iPad Air / 5 [whatever its the new one]. And tried to 'sign in' - but it just hung at the
    "Join Adobe Community" adobe sign in splash screen! with he little whell spinning around continuously!!!
    I have Safari on this iPad. Guess that is all it runs.
    So technology is not my friend today!

  • Auto-Detect Screen Resolution Does Not Work Across Multiple Monitors With Different Resolutions

    Hi,
    The Acrobat Pro DC (15.007.20033.2203) auto-detect screen resolution feature does not work with multiple monitors at different resolutions.  Acrobat looks fine on my hidpi primary laptop display (Razr 14" 2014) but is completely unusable if I drag or extend the application to a standard HD resolution secondary monitor. Dragging Acrobat from my primary desktop display to the secondary display causes the UI elements to become 2x as large as they should be and makes Acrobat unusable. 
    Is there a way to make Acrobat auto-detect the display that it is currently on? 
    Thanks!

    To prevent it from happing again, you can
    1. go to the Mouse preference and turn off the scroll zoom feature.
    2. go to the Universal Access preference and disable the zoom features.

  • The Create List Item workflow action does not work in document library with document template

    My end goal is more complex but below is a basic example of the issue I’m having that just simply does not work.
    I'm trying to use a site workflow to create an item in a document library that has a document template applied to it but the file that gets created by the workflow is corrupt and cannot be opened.
    I created a document library and edited the document template by adding some text to the header and changing it to a Word docx file instead of a Word dotx file. I tested the document template by clicking the files tab in the ribbon and then clicking new
    document which opens the document template in Word and allows me to edit and save the document back to SharePoint. Then I created a SharePoint 2013 site workflow in SharePoint Designer that contains a single Create List Item action, and that action creates
    an item in the document library with the name field statically defined. I published the workflow and then manually start it on the site. The workflow completes successfully and when I navigate to the document library the document has been created by the workflow.
    When I click on the document to open it in the Word Web App it throws the error pictured below and if I open it in the Word client application it just opens a blank document and not the correct document template.
    I also tried using a SharePoint 2010 workflow with pretty much the same results. Opening the document in Word Web App gives the same error as above and opening the document in the Word client application gives the error pictured below.
    Come on Microsoft creating a Word Document in a SharePoint Document Library from a SharePoint Workflow should just work! Is this a bug or does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the this issue?

    I had the same problem with corrupted document - this worked for me:
    1. Create a 2010 Workflow which creates the list element in a document library
    (you may start this workflow from your 2013 workflow if applicable)
    2. In the Create New List Item properties - make sure to set ContentTypeId to your content type
    ("Id for indholdstype" is Danish for "Contenttype ID")
    3. Your Content Type template should be a ".docx" file - NOT a ".dotx" file...!
    (I have always created my templates for content types as .dotx files - seems Microsoft wants us to use ordinary .docx files as template files for content types)
    Hope this helps you!

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

  • "Search font .." does not work and CS2 crashes with every program shutdown ??

    Since yesterday Indesign is showing some strange behaviour ...
    At first I encountered that the "search font ..." dialogue does not work anymore, it just does not appear! It´s just as I wouldn´t have clicked anything ... That´s quite a prob for me, I really need this function, because I get a lot of documents with lots of fonts which I have to change. How can this function disappear??
    Another strange thing: since the font changing function disappeared Indesign chrashes with everey program shutdown (I´m working on Windows Vista) and on the other hand it´s suspiciously quick when starting ...
    Has anyone an idea how I can fix this?
    Thanks!

    Maybe good to know: I do not use more than one monitor. I have used the search font function before on the same day it was disappearing. I was working in a document with several hyperlinks imported from Word. as it happens.
    Any suggestions? I really need help!

  • SCVMM 2012, Conntect via conosle does not work when logged in with specified credentials

    Hi all
    I have a problem with the SCVMM 2012 console. When I start the console I select the "Specify credentials" option and then I enter my admin credentials. Afterward the console opens
    and everything works except the "Connect via Console" function.
    When I try to connect to a VM I get the following message:
    Virtual Machine Manager lost the connection to the virtual machine for one of the following reasons: Another connection was established to the console of this machine. The virtual machine has been shut down or put into the saved state. The user credentials
    provided do not have the necessary privilege to connect (0x0003, 0x0300)
    It seems that the Virtual Machine Viewer runs not under the admin credentials which I enter at the beginning and therefore the console cannot connect.
    Has someone the same issue ? Is it by design that the console connection does not work with specified credentials or is a sort of a bug or error ?
    Thx
    J0fe

    Being new to SCVMM, I've just come across this issue myself, though I came to a different (not necessarily better, but good enough for me) resolution.
    I have a somewhat convoluted but not abnormal configuration where the SCVMM server lives in a separate untrusted forest to that which the Hyper-V Server hosts live.
    As people have noted in this and other threads, the VirtualMachineViewer.exe process launches in the same security context with which you logged onto your pc. While the VmmAdminUI.exe process also runs in the same security context,
    the network logon it issues makes use of the credentials provided at the SCVMM MMC's logon screen, which VirtualMachineViewer.exe does not.
    I elected to use Credential Manager to resolve this issue.
    In Credential Manager, I created a "Windows Credential" entry where the hostname matched the FQDN of the hostname that appears within SCVMM as the virtual host entry. Using an IP does not match if you've used an FQDN in the SCVMM
    registration, and vice versa. If you used an IP for the host in SCVMM, then you need to supply that IP as the hostname in Credential Manager, and likewise if you used a FQDN.
    This solution isn't perfect as it requires you to manage numerous Credential Manager entries (one per host), but that still appealed to me far more than one per guest. If I had a larger environment, I'd script the account configuration
    given it only needs to happen once per host, rather than on an ongoing basis of once per guest as some of the above approaches would require.
    I haven't tested the different combinations to verify the least permissions required. For the time being I've gone with the model of using a non-privileged domain user account (to avoid managing multiple identities and passwords)
    which I added to the local Administrators group of each Hyper-V Server host. This stuck me as being a sound enough compromise between rigid security and ease-of-administration (given the per host arrangement in Credential Manager).
    With the account correctly specified in Credential Manager, I'm able to move on past the 0x0003 error and successfully use the remote function.
    If I was to point out an upside to this, it would be that this approach would allow me to remote Hyper-V servers in untrusted forests (including workgroups), which is something I couldn't do if the VirtualMachineViewer.exe process
    did in fact use my SCVMM credentials alone. Ultimately, that's something you have to come to terms with yourself, though.
    Cheers,
    Lain
    Thanks a bunch Lain, this helped! I'd still consider this a bug, however, and not a workable solution for a large number of servers/admins... But for now this does the trick, thanks!
