2 ADC LCD monitors don't allow airport

I have a single processor G5 with no PCI cards in it. I have 2 ADC LCD monitors hooked up to the one video card that came with the G5. It is a Nvidia GeForce 5200. One LCD is 17" and one is 22". I have to "unplug" the little LCD so that my airport will work. I am using the airport antenna and the airport is close.
I am wondering if I buy a new video card, will it allow my airport to work?
Thanks

I have similar issues: I try to connect to my Leopard SERVER 10.5.1 with ARD 3.2.1 client, and although I could connect with the ARD management interface when Apple Screen Sharing was on, i could not when the ARD client was enabled on that leopard server
I then rolled back to 10.4 (only has ard, no screen sharing option), but also with ARD 3.2.1 client and there I noticed that I could connect, but that I was apparently connecting in VNC mode, and not ARD mode, as all other ARD functions (copying, etc) were not working anymore.
Then I created a firewall rule that gave FULL unrestricted access to my fixed IP based home address, and hopla, although the stupid message "screen sharing available' staid, I could suddenly connect in ARD remote mode, as i could again change the screen size (something that is not possible in vnc mode), but still, Grrrrrr, the copy and other ARD functions were not working.
and that is where I am today.... to be continued, as I'm planning to reinstall 10.5 on my server again tonight
Cheers,

Adc lcd monitor on a pc

I know its kinda sacralige but it was a present for my mother and I want to get it to work. Is there any reason that a adc Apple cinema display woudn't work on a regular pc if I have all the right adapters: ie ADC to DVI and DVI to VGA?

VGA has analog Red, Green, Blue, H-Sync and V-Sync. But NO digital Data. You would need a scan converter.
A regular adapter to DVI carries those analog VGA signals along in case you want a VGA. A Regular adapter to ADC still carries the Analog VGA along in case you want VGA.
But there are two things missing:
1) Power for the ADC display. The DVI-ator or Apple ADC to DVI converter (US$100) can provide the power -- it has an AC plug.
2) Digital Data. A Dr Bott DVI Converter can convert the VGA to a DVI. (US$259).
You could buy her two nice flat panel SONY displays with VGA cables for the same money.

DVD project, best LCD monitor, 24 inches, 500$ ?

Hi Everyone!
I am a new to video editing and I am trying to make a DVD. That is no action movie (It is a tutorial) but it is still a serious project.
I would like to buy an LCD monitor that will allow be to do a decent job. I am not looking for these 8,000$ screens that are clearly out of reach for my wallet...
I would like to be above 24 inches (29 is better).
AND under 500/600 $.
According to your valuable knowledge, what is the best compromise/deal out there?
Thanks a bunch.
Guillaume.

Man I wish I could steer you in the right direction, but 500-bucks doesn’t go very far in the ‘decent’ quality display market. This is especially the case in the 24+ inch offerings. I’m running the very first ACD 22-inch model on my 2009 MacPro with decent results but it did cost $5k back when it came out a decade ago. If you could find one like mine, it should go for around 300-bucks. When I do buy a new display later this year, it will be the LaCie 324i and not the 27-inch ACD.

I just bought a recertified Mac Mini, and I wonder if anyone here knows if it's possible to hook up my Mac flat screen LCD monitor to it using what adapters? I currently have a DVI to ADC adapter connected to my G4 Powermac.

I just bought a recertified Mac Mini core duo - it's not the newer model-, and I wonder if anyone here knows if it's possible to hook up my Mac flat screen LCD monitor to it and using what adapters? I currently have a DVI to ADC adapter connected to my G4 Powermac.
The company I bought it from is not Apple, and I may regret that. It was in my price range, though.
This is the first time I've used this community, and I've been a Mac owner since 2000. Thanks in advance!

when you say "Mac flat screen LCD", do you mean this:

LCD monitor and AirPort

my new LCD monitor seems to interfere wit airport. How can avoid such interferation in order to employ the monitor with mac mini?

Is the LCD (I would say LED if new as the backlight has changed to almost universally use LED).
located between the mini and the airport? I mean really close and able to stop the signals.. the LCD monitor.. is full of metal shielding.. and wifi will not get through. Move the mini or move the monitor or move the airport to a position where they are not blocked.. the wireless of the mini is on the plastic end with the ports as well as the underside plastic cover. (wireless doesn't get out of the metal). Ensure there is line of sight between the plastic area of the mini rear to the airport with nothing in the way.
Or does the monitor cause issues only when turned on.. ie if you turn off the monitor then the mini works ok.. hard to test that unless you have an old CRT monitor or something to test with.
Are you using USB3?
I doubt the monitor electronics is the problem.. (as opposed to its metallic nature) .. unless it has a USB3 hub in it. which is unlikely.
But USB3 happens to use a bus speed that is too close to the 2.4ghz band.
So one solution is to use 5ghz.
Another is to buy more heavily shielded cables for usb3 connections.
http://blog.macsales.com/15990-shielding-resolves-usb-3-0-conflict-with-bluetoot h
Could you be confusing USB3 problem for the Monitor causing wifi issues?
There is another more obscure problem that can happen though.. are you using DSL of any sort, adsl or vdsl or sdsl.. anything to do with phone lines??
Have you actually checked the link speed between the Mini and the airport when the LCD monitor is on or off? Does it change.. what if you move the monitor out of the way does the signal level change at all??

LCD monitor profiling: getting started

I have a cheap LCD monitor (Gem brand) I bought a year or so ago. It works okay for me but i've never calibrated and profiled it. I'd like to finally invest in a calibrator. I'm a click away from ordering the X-Rite EODIS2 Eye-One Display 2 as my quick research (thanks to this forum) says that's a fine choice.
Once I receive it I will take a serious look at my ambient light conditions and try to become comfortable living with less natural light in my workspace. I will also consider constructing a monitor hood.
Meanwhile I'll keep reading Real World Color Management.
Does it sound like i'm on the right track? Any advice / caveats at this stage welcome. Otherwise I'm sure you'll be hearing from me. :) Many thanks.

The saga continues...
I've been watching Chris Murphy's lynda.com 'Color Management Essential Training' videos, which are very good but i'm still not sure I'm doing this properly. Here's the story:
He outlines a test to determine whether your LCD display's backlight is controlled via the Brightness or Contrast on-screen control: fill a new Photoshop file with black, and adjust each control independently to determine which shows a visible change in the solid black. After resetting my monitor to defaults, and trying this, it was obvious that the Contrast control was linked to the backlight.
Murphy then demonstrates profiling, using the same Eye-One Match software. He skips the 'Set the Contrast' portion in the software, as that relies on adjusting the Contrast control to adjust backlight. I did do it, because my monitor backlight does appear to be controlled by Contrast.
Next is the 'Set the White Point' portion, which involves adjusting RGB values separately. Chris says it's not a good idea for non-high-end LCDs -- that it's better for white point adjustment to occur in the video card LUT. So he skips that portion, and -- although my monitor does allow such independent adjustment -- i skip it as well.
Then it's 'Set the Luminance', where we use the Brightness control. In Chris' case he's adjusting the backlight. In my case, uh, I dunno what I'm adjusting exactly. Anyway, I can't get the current marker all the way down to the target value. With Brightness at 0, it's slightly above my target 90. (I wonder if this means my monitor is burning out, or it's an indicator I should have done the RBG adjustment stage?) But Chris encourages staying slightly above the target so there's a little room to come down later. I settle at 92.6.
Then calibration, correction curve, RGB->XYZ, and a display profile is born!
I learned from Chris that Eye-One Match includes a Monitor Validator feature. I do it and find my DE2000 is 2.56! Seems quite high. (Chris' was 0.78.) Does it mean my monitor just sucks, or is it an acceptable value, or is there something I need to adjust?
In other news, blinds are more closed (except for one window -- this room has lots of 'em), room is darker, I shall start wearing black. :)
Thanks for any perspective on any of this.

Will this ViewSonic LCD Monitor work w/G4 MDD?

I don't know enough about screen resolution to know whether this particular ViewSonic LCD monitor will work with my G4 MDD. The G4's video card has an ADC connector and a DVI connector. The monitor I'd like to get, which uses a DVI cable, is the ViewSonic VX1932wm-LED 19-Inch WLED-Backlit Energy Efficient LCD Monitor. I read an earlier post here that ViewSonic monitors will work with Macs. The specs for this monitor are at:
http://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-VX1932wm-LED-19-Inch-WLED-Backlit-Efficient/dp/t ech-data/B002R0JJY4/ref=deasmtd
I appreciate any help. Thanks!

I have the slightly larger VX2235wm which is 22 inches, and the same video card as you on my MDD. I am satisfied with its performance.
The monitor has separate VGA and DVI input ports. The max widescreen res on my MDD is 1680x1050. I usually run at 1440x900 because my eyes aren't what they once were.
I've gotten higher resolution on the same monitor by connecting it to my MacBook Pro via DVI. Can't remember what the numbers are exactly but I know it's larger than the 1680x1050 on my MDD. The notebook has a newer graphics chipset and 128MB VRAM, so that's not a surprise.
As an aside, I played with both the VGA and the DVI sides of the monitor. I found I have more options for smaller resolutions if I use the DVI-to-VGA adaptor that came with the MDD and connect to the VGA side of the Viewsonic.. I keep the DVI cable attached but tangling over the back of the desk so I don't have to rummage so much when I need to connect the MacBook Pro. It works fine on the DVI cable. As long as I turn off the MDD before connecting the cable, leaving both lines running to the monitor has caused no problems.

6100 PPC connect to a modern LCD monitor

For old timers. Believe it or not, I have an exhibit that has several video game type interactives run by several 6100 PPCs. I don't know exactly what type: 6100/60, 66 or AV. They run mid-1990s Apple monitors that look great after over ten years of use. I'd like to remove the Apple CRTs and replace them with modern LCD monitors, but I don't know if a 12 or 13 year old computer (especially a low-end version to start with) will run them. I have a PPC 9600/300 and a Beige G3/266 to take parts from, if that's useful. The G3 has an extra PCI video card. The 9600 came with a separate video card I think. I hope the 6100 is running OS9. I'd like to keep using the 6100s for reasons that are beyond the scope of this forum. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

You can hook an LCD up to the built-in video port on your 6100s without a new video card. The LCD will be able to run at least as well as your original displays. They may run even at a higher resolution, but that isn't guaranteed. You won't loose any capability with this change but you will need an adapter to use an LCD.
If you happen to be replacing Apple AudioVision 14 displays (how could you!!), you might not have any adapters to start with. But if you had any other display, you should have adapters that convert the rather large port on the back of your 6100s (called HDI-45) to a typical Mac monitor port. You can get an additional adapter that goes from the typical Mac monitor port to a VGA port, the port that your LCD will have. So it will go LCD -> VGA to standard Mac adapter -> Standard Mac to HDI-45 adapter -> 6100.
You also could get one adapter that goes directly from VGA to the HDI-45 port on the back of the 6100s, but I'd recommend the dual adapter method if you already have the first adapter. That's the way I always did it and it left me the option of using any kind of monitor, VGA, Mac, or AudioVision.
If you do choose to install a video card, this will allow you to get higher resolutions and more colors on your LCD, beyond where you were before. You must also get a right-angle adapter for this card because the 6100 requires the card to be installed sideways unlike the 7100 and 8100. This adapter is somewhat hard to find. A Sonnet Crescendo G3 upgrade card can serve as a right-angle adapter but those are kind of pricey.
Note that some video cards are NuBus and some are PDS. You need the proper right-angle adapter. The Sonnet Crescendo G3 upgrade card works with PDS video cards. (Most video cards for the 6100 are PDS.) Some right angle adapters are yet a third kind of strange slot intended to be used with a DOS card. These will not work with any video cards I am aware of.
Please check out this wonderful 6100 website, if not for reference, at least for fun:

LCD Monitor with B&W G3 Tower

Hello, I am looking to replace my 17" Apple Studio Display CRT on my G3 B&W Tower with an LCD monitor. My questions are: 1) Will my computer (VGA port) accept any current LCD screens on the market, or do I have to stay with Apple's LCD monitors? 2) There are several Apple Studio LCD Displays offered on eBay. They mention DVI and ADC connections. How do I know which models will work with my B&W G3? Forgot to mention that I have upgraded the processor with a Sonnet G4 500Mhz. Thanks.

Hi,
your B&W (like mine) should be equipped with a standard VGA output on your video card, which should accept any monitor with a VGA connection.
I tried a couple of LCD (a Samsung and a Hewlett Packard) which worked flawlessly and did not give me any problems.
I am not sure whether you can connect any of the current generation Apple flat screens due to the different interface, but you surely can take advantage of any VGA equipped LCD.
cheers

Two VGA monitors don't work with two different G4s, but both work with G3!

I recently acquired two used Power Mac G4s (one of them is a mirrored-door dual-processor that I got from school and was told should work, the other is a Gigabit Ethernet model, and should also work), from two completely different sources. They both turn on (I get a power-on light, I hear HDDs churning, and I get a power chime from one of them, and they react to the usual Mac stimuli, mouse and keyboard light up, reset button works, etc.) but I get *absolutely no video*. The monitor syncs for a second, like it gets a quick signal, then goes immediately back to the "CHECK SIGNAL CABLE" message.
I have tried them both with two generic PC VGA monitors (though they were both kind of old and crummy ones, they work on my G3 and other computers. I've tried the working PCI video card from my G3, that doesn't work, nor does swapping their video cards. They both have Apple-supplied ATI AGP video cards, both with Apple's proprietary ADC interface, though one has only DVI out (with a DVI to VGA adapter that came with it) and the other has a straight VGA port.
The weird thing is that, even though these computers have never, er, met before, they have the exact same problem. The only thing these things have in common is the monitor I'm using. This leads me to believe
The only thing left I can think of is to hook them straight from the DVI port to my HDTV, but I don't have a DVI cable, much less know ANYTHING about DVI. Could it be that these particular VGA monitors don't like AGP video cards, or some sort of weird incompatibility that isn't well known?
I figure if anyone's seen something like this, you guys have. Here are the AppleHistory entries on these machines, if it helps:

The software on the hard drives may be set for a video setting that won't work with your monitor. A few things to try (in order):
1) Reset PRAM. Hold down Cmd-Option-P-R when booting until you hear the third Boing.
2) Hold down Option when booting. Should show symbol of hard drive, plus a couple of arrows.
3) Boot from a CD (Install disk or, preferably, Hardware Test Disk).
4) Safe boot. Hold down "S" just after the boing. Release it when (if?) you see the turning gear.
If it is a scan rate problem, one of these should show some video.

Connecting Playstation 3 to LCD Monitor HELP!!

hey guys im new at this and i need some help please
i have a ASUS 23inch Widescreen LCS monitor and supports HDMI and HDCP.
i have done some research on how to set this up. people told me i jus need a HDMI cable in which i already purchased. is there anything else i do?
for sound i would like to connect a speaker system in which im still researching for a decent one. any suggestions? anything under 100 dollars is at best for me
also what cables or adapters would i need to have in order to connect the speaker system?

You're trying to use a PS3 with a PC monitor? I thought that couldn't be done, but I'm not sure.
Why wouldn't it?
PC monitors and LCD HDTVs are nearly indistinguishable from each other now, at least when connecting via HDMI.
It should simply be a case of:
HDMI from PS3 to PC monitor
Audio output (depends on your audio system) from PS3 to audio system. (Actually, this is one of the few differences between PC monitors and TVs with HDMI connectivity - most PC monitors don't have speakers, TVs do and support HDMI audio.)
In my case, I have HDMI to my 46" TV and optical audio to a Yamaha receiver, but could easily move the PS3 to my "office" and connect to my 24" Gateway monitor and my other Yamaha receiver. (Yes, I have TWO Yamaha HTIB systems, one in the living room and one in the "office".)

What connects do I need to hook up a 2nd LCD monitor to my p7-1380t HP computer?

My current monitor is a Samsung Starlight LCD monitor hooked up to my p7--1380t (approx 23 inches). I want to set up a 2nd monitor which is a DELL LCD (unable to find monitor model #).
Can you advise me which ports to use on the back of my computer and which cable type I should get for the Dell monitor?

Okrafarmboy, welcome to the forum.
We don't have information on Dell monitors. However, I believe that it will be either VGA or DVI (D or I). It depends on the age of the monitor.

Sharing a DVI LCD monitor between a MDD & AGP Macs, recommendations?

Hi all,
In the not so near future, I'm looking to share a large(42) LCD monitor with DVI ports between my MDD and AGP Macs. My AGP Mac has the Geforce nividia 4600,64MB video card and the MDD has the ATI 9000PRO, 64mb video card via a dvi switch box.
Any recommendations on a LCD monitor that will give excellent quality? Also, will I see a big difference if I were to upgrade my video cards to 128MB or higher?
thanks, web dude

Tecra A2: Cannot use the 1680x1050 resolution on external LCD monitor

Hi All,
I need to make my Tecra A2 run at 1680x1050 at 60Hz for my new external VW222U LCD monitor which is connected to my port replicator.
I know the card (which is 82852/82855) can run at this resolution as when using the Intel Embedded drivers it works, just one has to give up all the little nice things when using the standard drivers, like monitor switching etc....
I have been discussing on many forums over at Intel's site why this resolution is not available by default, it appears that it is not a resolution enabled in the video BIOS which the display drivers read by default, so the vendor need to add it, the reason that the embedded drivers work, is that they don't read this directly from the video BIOS....
Thanks and regards,
Adam

Hi,
I know that issue, but we have to live with it because it seems that the graphics card vendors are giving some really "default" drivers to the notebook manufacturers.
I have an Satellite Pro S200 and I also use the Intel drivers from the Intel homepage. But my monitorswitching, etc.. works like a charm so maybe if you install the tools like the "FN-F5" etc.. it would probably work.
I would give it a try, otherwise: it is like it is.. :/

Quality of screen color flashes after connecting to external LCD monitor

After connecting my Powerbook G4 to an external LCD monitor via s-video, the quality of the image on the built-in screen flashes back and forth between what seems like a 8 or 16-bit image and a 32-bit image. I have run the hardware test and everything checks out fine but the image is grainy and washed out and only sometimes returns to normal. I have also reset PRAM and PMU to no effect, as well as tried recalibrating the display. And oddly, the external display is fine.
This is terribly frustrating as all colors are washed out and I can't truly gauge what I am doing design wise. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thank you, Silly Rabbit. I actually only hook the Powerbook up to the external monitor (LCD TV) to watch movies, show photos, etc. I don't actually use an external monitor on a daily basis.
Your suggestion is a good one, which I appreciate. I am going to the Genius Bar this afternoon, so hopefully they can provide a solution for the built-in screen.
Thanks again!
