17" Studio ADC display to Thunderbolt

I have an old PowerMac G4 that I use with the ADC display. Well I will soon be aquiring a new 13" MacBook air. I want to know if I can use a series of adapters to hook up my old ADC display to my new MacBook w/ Thunderbolt. What do I need?

If it is a LCD display, not CRT, you can use a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter

followed by a DVI to ADC adapter

Hi Gary,
The G4 AGP graphics model is pre-ADC and its motherboard will not support a video card with a native ADC port. The ADC ports on such cards draw their power and USB feed via an extra leg on the card that fits into an extra slot at one end of the AGP slot on the computer motherboard. Your computer does not have this extra slot.
To run an ADC display off your computer, you can run a video card with a DVI output, then use a DVI to ADC adaptor such as this one:

You can use VGA to ADC adaptors, but they are much more expensive (than a DVI to ADC adaptor plus another video card), and don't give as good a result.
Cheers!

Is it possible the current Mac Mini 2.7 Ghz i7 with two full-resolution displays and Thunderbolt operate?

On Second thoughts...
I don't really know how well Logic Express 7 performs on the Mac Mini because I have not yet had the chance to experience the two together. Don't let that put you off the idea though! From my understanding of the system requirements printed on the Logic Express homepage, it states that a G4 or faster system is required, however Apple personally recommend a Dual G4 or G5 is recommended alongside a minimum of 512MB of Ram. This Does mean that Logic Express will run on the Mac Mini but you will most probably find it lags when moving samples in real time and rendering them onto your hard drive. If you really want to enjoy making "serious" music on the Mac then you really need to be looking at the iMac G5 or the iMac Core Duo (Intel) purely for your tempers sake. As for an Intel Mac Mini, there is no indication as to when we will be seeing one on the market and therefore you may find yourself on the fence between keeping your fixed budget and holding on a little or jumping in and getting on the right road to a digital musical life - mac style.
Maybe this will inspire your decision:

17" Studio LCD Display connect to G3

I recently purchased a 17" Studio LCD Display which came with an ADC to DVI adapter.
Then I picked up an adapter, but it was the wrong kind. It was DVI to VGA which still required the present VGA/G3 adapter ... the connection was going through three adapters that way. The monitor didn't light up. When I pressed the On/Off button (bottom right on front of display) the button lit up while my finger was on it and then faded to dark when I removed my finger. The system did not recognize the connection on the pci card either. I was able to hook everything up physically but the display didn't go on.
When I plugged the UBS pigtail in, my system could see and recognize the monitor on the UBS port. So apparently, the driver software won't be a problem.
Rather than putzing with adapters and connectors, I'd prefer to swap out the VGA card with a DVI video card for the G3. Is there such a video card available for the G3?
Is this even feasible?
The reason I need to keep this G3 is because it has a SCSI port (running Classic 9.2.2) which I require for an expensive high end scanner. Until I can find a comparable unit compatible with my new iMac I'd like to keep the G3 but would really like to hook up the lcd display on it.
Any ideas?

Exactly my problem too (and many others surely!)
I have a macbook and a 17" LCD studio display which has a plug with 30 pins. As understand it, it is a DVI-I dual ink.
I was about to buy the DVI adaptor from the mac store as it would appear to do the job but I learned that it is DVI-D and not DVI-I as is required. I searched for another picture of this adaptor (the pic on the mac store is decidely unhelpful) and it is clear from looking at it that it will not fit.
Anyone know what to do here?

ADC displays, 10.4.11 and MDD

I've been running a dual 1.25 PowerMac G4 with a 23" Cinema display (ADC) for about 8 years now without a single hint of trouble. No room for the 23" ADC monitor on my desk anymore (making room for 30" w/MacPro), so I picked up a 17" ADC Studio display and wall-mounted it (actually, I have two of these).
Trouble is, my MDD G4 refuses to turn on with either 17" ADC Studio display connected. (LED only blinks once, machine never goes on.) The 23" Cinema works perfectly (as always) and a 15" ADC Studio display works, too. Both 17" ADC Studio displays work fine connected to an old G4 Cube, but both prevent my MDD from starting up. I always thought any Apple ADC display would work on the G4 MDD - no? What makes the 17" Studio displays different? Video card is the OEM ATI Radeon 9000 Pro (1 ADC, 1 DVI).
What am I missing? All four displays work, only the combination of MDD and 17" Studio display fails....?

Tried to startup from a great old SCSI drive running OS9, Monitors CDEV set to proper resolution, etc.
Computer's power button LED only lights when pressed, nothing else happens.
It's a hardware issue, simultaneous with two identical 17" ADC Studio Displays? I have an ADC to DVI converter, but what's the point of trying that? So..... why do they both work perfectly when plugged into a (10.3) G4 Cube?! What's the diff between G4 MDD (Radeon 9000 Pro) and G4 Cube's AGP cards (32MB VRAM 1280x1024 ATI RV200? - upgrade from OEM card)....?

In other words, just plug it in.

Matrox DualHead2Go and ADC Display?

I have an older 17" acrylic display with that big ADC-DVI adapter. I'm currently using my Macbook Pro (ATI X1600 video card, Dual-Link DVI connector) with a surprisingly good HP VGA panel, the same resolution as the Cinema Display.
Has anyone had any luck with using an ADC monitor with the Matrox DualHead2Go? I'd like to connect both of these displays to my MBP, and have heard concerns about compatibility with certain devices and the ADC adapter. Secondly, does anyone know if the DualHead2Go can support mismatched signals, at the same resolution(1x DVI, 1x VGA).
I suspect I need the Digital Version, but it seems that because the signal has to turn into VGA first, it may not work with the ADC display. So third, is the Macbook Pro capable of connecting to the newer DisplayPort version of the DualHead2Go? Assuming someone makes a DVI-Displayport connector.

The idea behind the DualHead2Go is that the two displays be matching displays, so mismatched resolution won't work AFAIK. But you can ask Matrox that question to be sure.
If your MBP has DVI for its output, then it won't be compatible with the DisplayPort version of the the DualHead2Go.

Mac Pro Adc Displays

Hi
Since Friday i have a Mac Pro.
I connect my old Adc Cinema Display, with an ADC-DVI Adapter.
Everything work fine.
I have another 17" ADC Display.
Is it possible to connect two ADC Displays, with two ADC-DVI Adaperts to the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT Graphiccard without a problem?
Thanks
Greetings from Vienna

I'm seeing a lot of this.
Pay attention closely.
If you have an ADC display and you want to connect it to the new Mac Pro, you must buy a different adapter. The ones supplied with the Mac Pro do not connect an ADC display to a DVI Mac Pro. You need to buy one that has a power supply and a USB port. DrBott and Apple make them.

DVI display port/ADC display port bottleneck!

My G5 dual came with ONE DVI display port and ONE ADC display port. I wish to add another monitor for editing purposes. My current monitor is an NEC multi-sync, which uses up the DVI port...leaving the ADC port empty and useless.
1. Am I forced to purchase an Apple Cinema Display?
2. Would it be more frugal to purchase another video card?
3. Can I make this work even though I have bought every 'adaptor' under the sun and the ADC port is still useless?
4. It there a 3d party adaptor that can use the ADC port to use an NTSC (television) device as 2nd monitor?
thanx

Hey U-dog,
I went to see Mr. Whooppee at Dr. Botts and ordered the shiny new DVI Extractor II (sounds like I'm back in the hackin biz) and again, I'll hold Sweet Polly or Breezly bruin hostage if this (last attempt at adaptors[sold for g-4s]) DOGgone thang don't work. So keep an eye out at WDOG or the local tundra if you REALLY care about those toons!
fingers crossed,

shoes shined,
parka on

IMac & ADC display

I have an older Apple LCD display with the ADC connector, which I can use with my (even older) PowerMac. It's a great monitor, and I'd hate to have it just sit around when I upgrade...hopefully to an iMac.
I know there are connectors for mini-DVI to VGA or DVI, but would it be possible to go from mini-DVI to ADC? Or would a mini-DVI to DVI and then a DVI to ADC adapter have to be the way to go? Has anyone tried this before?

Yes, thanks. But has anyone actually daisy-chained several connectors together to make sure it works with an ADC display? I just don't want to spend the $100+ and find out that it doesn't work. In theory it seems like it should, but one can never fully tell with technology.

Connecting 2 15" ADC Displays to G5

I already have a 15" ADC display & have another one on the way. I require the use of a seperate display for using music software etc. Can anyone tell me how I can connect the extra display to my G5? Do I need an extra connection?

I have the same problem with a 9800 AGP and 9200 PCI card.
Things start to go wonky.

How can I use AppleScript Studio to display an image

How can I use AppleScript Studio to display an image in a dialog?

Add an image well to your window in Interface Builder.
You can also add an image file to the Resources group of your Xcode project and then set the image to be displayed inside the image well directly in Interface Builder. No AppleScript code is needed if the image is contained within your app bundle and can be set ahead of time like this.
If the image is contained in your app's bundle but you need to set or change the image at run time then you can use a line of AppleScript to load it into the image well using just it's filename:
set image of image view "yourImageView" of window "yourWindow" to load image "YourImageFile.jpg"
If you need to load an image from an arbitrary location outside your app's bundle then use a path to the image file...
set image of image view "yourImageView" of window "yourWindow" to load image "/path/to/YourImageFile.jpg"

HT5219 Can I use 2 displays when I connect a 1920x1080 display through Thunderbolt to the 27 cinema display when it´s connected to the all new 13" Mac Book Air with thunderbolt?

Can I use 2 displays when I connect a 1920x1080 display through Thunderbolt to the 27 cinema display when it´s connected to the all new 13" Mac Book Air with thunderbolt?

Thank you, I have read that I could daisy chain the HD RAID enclosure on one of the thunderbolt ports with another monitor, if the monitor were at the end of the chain, but I do not know if the other port would still simultaneously support yet another external display at the same time.

G4 ADC display not powering on

I have a 400mhz AGP graphics G4 that at some point had a video card upgrade to a card with only VGA out. A friend recently gave me an Apple 15" Studio Display so I bought what I thought was a replacement for the original card, an AGP ATI Rage Pro 128 16mb. The card I bought has ADC and VGA out and when i connect the display it won't power on. The display will power on when connected to a G5 with ADC out and the VGA out on the card works on a VGA monitor so I believe both the card and the flat screen are working fine. Looking into it a little further I realize now that the stock card that was originally on the machine had DVI/VGA outputs. Is this where my problem lies?

Hi-
Looking into it a little further I realize now that the stock card that was originally on the machine had DVI/VGA outputs.
The Rev 1 AGP graphics G4 Sawtooth cannot support ADC, as there is no power provided to the ADC port via the AGP slot.
Is this where my problem lies?
Yes.
To use ADC monitors on a Sawtooth, you need a DVI port equipped card, and DVI to ADC adapter.
