20" and 15" apple displays on 1-G4

I want to run two monitors off my G4 MDD. I have a 20" ACD connected to the Machine and I have a 15" Apple Studio Display going to a DVI converter and then to my other monitor port on my G4. Ideally I want to mirror the 20" display for my clients to see on the 15". Whenever I do this and the 15" looks good, the image is small on my 20". Any way I can get these to both mirror with their own native resolutions? I know they are different monitors with different res. but cant you run two screens two different resolutions?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks Malcom,
I have tried to adjust in arrangements mode, but when I switch back to mirroring the image in the big 20" goes small, while the image in the 15" is correct and fills the monitor. I need to mirror the big monitor and have both monitors filled with desktop image in correct resolution.

USB-C to mini display port and thunderbolt apple displays

I currently have a 24 in late 2008 Apple Cinema Display connected to a 2008 MacBook. This particular display has a three pronged connector (MagSafe, mini DisplayPort, conventional USB). I am thinking of upgrading to the new MacBook but am concerned about the compatibility with my display. Will there be an adapter or solution to connect the USB-C port to the three pronged connector of the apple Cinema Display? I see that USB-C port has support for hdmi, VGA, and standard display port but I see nothing about Mini DisplayPort or MagSafe. There is also no mention of thunderbolt dislay connectivity (for newer adopters of Apple displays). I understand innovation often comes at a price but it seems like a fairly large oversight to potentially obsolete fairly expensive larger apple Mini DisplayPort and thunderbolt devices for people who are looking to upgrade. This will certainly factor into my decision in purchasing new apple laptops in the future, especially if the standard inevitably moves toward USB-C on all devices. Thanks for any help!

You can connect your 24" display with the Apple HDMI adapter
<http://store.apple.com/us/product/MJ1K2AM/A/usb-c-digital-av-multiport-adapter>
followed by a HDMI to Mini DisplayPort converter

The MacBook USB-C connector does support DisplayPort, so there may be a future adapter that would avoid the HDMI conversion.
You won't be able to use the MagSafe cable.

Mac Pro and non apple displays

hello all.
I used to have a dell display (really cheap TN non ultrasharp) and i was not happy with it at all. when connected to my mac i would get visible diagonal rippling lines through the display especially when viewing dark colours. however this was fine when i used boot camp windows. many from the discussion suggested that it was because mac likes IPS panels where the cheap brands use TN. so i got me a 20 in apple cinema display and i love it!. after three years i would love to upgrade to bigger display thats flexible, (HDCP and more connections) and not break my bank. at the moment im looking at dell again (sigh) the new ultra-sharp u2311h (http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Displays/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=e n&cs=19&sku=320-9270) this panel features IPS panel similar to previous ultra sharp models that had exact panels as the apple cinema displays. i would love to hear some opinions and tips.
and i would especially love to hear form ultra sharp users and their thoughts / experience. please please let me know.

When I said that NEC displays were much better than Dell's I was referring to the former's Multisync "LCD" range, which use different panels to their "EA" models.
"EA" models are classified as "office monitors" by NEC, whereas "LCD" models are "high end", and consequently are more expensive.
I have no idea how the NEC Multisync EA231WMi compares against the Dell Ultrasharp U2311H, but there is a lot more to a display than sharing the same panel. Although their displays are built around the same panel, NEC and Dell would be using different technology inside, and that is where the former has the advantage, because Dell does not "manufacture" high end/professional monitors.
Although Dell Ultrasharp monitors have received several good reviews, particularly with regard to value for money, they are not in the same league as NEC, EIZO, or LaCie, particularly where colour accuracy is paramount, and that is one of the reasons why they are usually much cheaper.
Some time before I purchased my NEC 30" display, Macworld UK published a review covering several 24" to 27" displays, including models from NEC, EIZO, LaCie, Dell and Samsung. The 26" LaCie model used the same H-IPS panel as the 26"NEC, but it was the NEC which walked away with the 5 star "Best Buy" award. The Dell 27" was judged to be value for money, but fell down on colour accuracy.
For further endorsement of the quality of NEC's "LCD" range see:
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/monitors/242010/nec-multisync-lcd3090wqxi
The point I am trying to make is that NEC have the expertise to produce the above exceptional quality display, whereas Dell do not. Doubtless, some of that expertise filters down to models in other NEC ranges. The panel might be the same, but the technology inside the display will most certainly be different between the two companies.
You pay your money, and you take your choice!

Macbook w/Apple Display Questions

Hi,
Two questions:
1. Would there be three connections between a Macbook and a Apple Display?
a. DVI
b. USB
c. Firewire
2. How would the Macbook (1 FW 400 and 2 USB 2 ports) treat the 4 USB's and two FW 400 ports on the display?
Thanks!
Donny

To connect one of the current (aluminum) Apple displays to your MacBook, you'll first need the mini-DVI to DVI adapter. This will connect to your MacBook's mini-DVI port and then the display will connect to the full-sized DVI port on the adapter. You can connect the USB and/or FireWire cables from the display if you want. It's not required.
If you do connect the FireWire cable to your MacBook, the display acts as a FireWire hub and will allow you to connect two FireWire devices. These continue to run at the full 400Mbps speed of FireWire.
If you do connect the USB cable to your MacBook, the display acts as a USB hub and will allow you to connect two USB devices. The hub inside the current displays is a powered USB 2.0 hub so you should be able to plug-in any USB 1.1 or 2.0 devices.

Sony Vaio for the apple display

I have a sony vaio and an apple display. I want to use the apple display to display what I have on my vaio. Is there any adapter that I can use for the thunderbolt adapter (thunderbolt to firewire) to go towards my vaio (has a firewire port)to display my screen?

plugged my old monitor back in, installed the new graphics card with latest drivers.
Rebooted
put old monitor at resolution i know the apple cinema display can do.
turned monitor off and unplugged.
put dvi of apple cinema display in graphics card,
then plugged the ac adaptor in the plug socket, then plugged the monitor supply into the ac unit,
then swtched computer on.
boot screen or winxp loading screen does not show up,
once i know windows has fully loaded, unplug the cinema ac cable, plug it back in and voilla i have a wndows screen, ill try not to reboot my pc often from now on. why it only happens to this monitor i dont know. hope there is some kind of fix soon. good luck

$300 Apple Display

I'm thinking about buying a Mac mini computer and a Apple Display monitor but there is no way I'm going to pay more for a monitor than the computer.... do anyone think Apple should offer monitors that cost less than $300 that can be used with the Mac mini? Maybe they should come out with special priced 15" and 17" version made just for the Mac mini. What do you think?

Ap, Your question is not a support question but I understand. Yes I agree that Apple should offer lower price monitors but thats just wishful thinking.
But other companies offer lower price monitors that are just as good. I can't be specific but, the components used by Apple for their displays are used by other display manufactures too.
I don't really care for posting about the competition here but, take a look at Gateways FPD 1960 Flat 19" LCD monitor. It has both analog and digital inputs and a maximum resolution of 1280 X 1024, and cost under $270.00. This is an older model but still being sold new in many places.
Enjoy your Mac.

I can't stream netflix with an extra apple display ...

...on a MBP11,3 i7 late 2013 with Yosemite.
I just switched from 10.9 to 10.10 and my apple display 2006 isn't supported anymore for streaming Netflix, probably due to some HDCP issues.
Netflix only works with the display unhooked, yesterday (10.9) it all worked fine ...
Sorry Apple, I don't like this.
How can we solve this issue?
Tx

Already found a solution.
Apparently it is the HTML5/DHCP in Yosemite which causes the problem.
In Netflix preferences I unchecked HTML5, so it plays now on Silverlight.
That did the trick, I can use both my MBP screen and the Apple display again while streaming Netflix.
Easy fix.

My iPad 4 does not show up on my TV screen when in AirPlay mirroring mode using WiFi. The iPad displays AirPlay set to TV with the Mirroring On (green).
My iPad IOS software is 8.2 and my Apple TV software is at 7.1. The TV displays the Apple Menu. The “Settings” does however displays the General menu allowing me to see:
Apple software: 7.1 (7003)
Apple TV: Model No. A1464, Part No. MD199B/A
Signal Strength shows 5 circles.
It does not display the iPad screen but when I use the BT Sport App I can hear the sound but there is no video. I have searched the internet for a solution to no avail. The problem first arose when the IOS was at 8.1+ but it worked correctly briefly when I updated to IOS 8.2. Can you help please?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

Which imacs and apple displays connect to late 2008 aluminum macbook 13 inch for use as external display?

I have a late 2008 13 inch aluminum macbook and want to purchase an iMac computer or apple display to use as an external display for it while I'm at my desk.
I can afford up to $700 for sure, maybe up to $1000 and would like one that has built in camera and audio if possible.
I'd like to know what my options are as it seems not all are compatible.
I'll mostly be doing web browsing and photo editing in Aperture.
Also wondering if it's possible to sync 2 computers so that when you make changes on one it reflects the changes in the other. Like you can with certain apps like Evernote.
Thank you for your help!
Cybrena

Yes he is right, Snow Leopard is your first step. Once you have that you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion if memory serves me correct. Some people were saying that Lion was a little sluggish with the aluminum MacBook but that Mountain Lion was great. Personally I had Lion on it also and didn't think it ran badly. 10.6 was still with Rosetta (the program that ran power pc apps) but this is dropped on 10.7 and up. Up until just the other day I still had the stock 2 gb of ram. The firmware update happens with Snow Leopard and up so it should come up as a software update. If not, it can be done manually as well. The ram I purchased was 60 bucks for the 8 gb. For Lion and Mountain Lion I have to agree with the above reply, that it would run alot better with at least 4 gb. If you run that many apps at once then you are going to want as much ram as you can get. If you add a solid state drive you will be amazed at the difference it will make too.

Display won't work and fans racing G5 and Apple display

I have a G5 tower with an Apple display connected using a DVI to ADC adaptor.
I have just moved house and now the display doen't power up. The computer starts up and plays its start sound but no life from the screen. The light in the start button on the display lights up when pressed, but goes out when the button is released.
After a while, the fans in the tower unit start racing.
Help!

Hi, Fans racing is normal if no OS loads to handle them.
I'd open it & carefully reseat the Video card for a start.
