2003 eMac and 23inches new Apple display compatible?

I just got a new display (23in Apple) and I would like to plug it in my eMac
which only seems to have a VGA oulet,
Does anyone know of an adaptor that could do the trick?
Couldn't see any on the Mac online store.
Thanks a million for any suggestion.
Francis

There are VGA to DVI converters, but they run about $300.00 US (you can find one such here). And your eMac doesn't support extended desktop, only mirroring, so unless you install a firmware hack (which you use strictly at your own risk), you would get the same picture at the same resolution as on your eMac's screen. Even with the hack, I'm not sure if the eMac would support the 23" LCD's resolution.
So it's up to you whether or not it's worth it. You could probably sell your eMac and combine that with the cost of the converter and buy a new Mac mini which would support that monitor directly.

  • New Apple Displays DVI Connnection Type

    Does anyone know what DVI connection type are the new Apple displays equipped with? I know that it recieves digital signals, but can it recieve analog signals too? In other words, is the DVI connector DVI-D or DVI-I on the new displays?

    Hi Ethan,
    I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want to do, so I'll try another approach (hope it helps this time :))
    A DVI-I socket (off the graphics card) provides digital and analogue output. The DVI-I plugs off the DVI Apple Displays (except the 30") physically fit this socket, but don't utilise any of the analogue output. These DVI-I plugs will also plug into a DVI-D socket.
    A DVD-D socket provides digital output only. The DVD-D plugs that the 30" Apple Displays use will only fit this socket and will not connect properly to a DVI-I socket.
    There are very few Mac graphics cards around at the moment that have the required DVI-D socket for the 30" Apple Display. The majority of them are Apple OEM.
    You said:
    "Like I was saying if it has a DVI-I input, it can receive analog signals using a VGA to DVI adapter."
    Because it is going through an adaptor, it is not receiving analogue signals (as these signals have already been converted to digital). A VGA to DVI adaptor is a little complicated, with a hardware based translation of the analogue signal to digital being required - this can result in some loss of signal quality. This is why it (physically) is a box with an input cable and plug and an output cable and socket.
    However, a DVI-I to VGA adaptor is much easier (because of the analogue component in DVI-I that you have mentioned). All this adaptor does is to pick up the analogue signal already there and ignore the rest. This is why it (physically) is just a cable with a DVI-I plug at one end and a VGA socket at the other end. These adaptors will not work with DVI-D sockets.
    Some (non-Apple) LCD displays accept both digital and analogue input, but they do this through separate DVI-I and VGA plugs. When using VGA input, they utilise an internal converter to translate the analogue signal to digital. An LCD display has an absolute requirement that the video input that it eventually processes is digital. Only CRT monitors really use analogue.
    If you want to use a 30" Apple Display, you need DVI-D output. If you want to use any of the other Apple DVI Displays, you can use DVI-I, DVI-D or DVI-I via a VGA to DVI-I adaptor.
    Hope this is what you were after!
    Cheers!

    I am using a 2003 eMac and am running on Mac OSX  vs 10.4.11. I amrunning iTunes 8.2.1 (6) and not able to upgrade iTunes on this computer. iTunes is not recognizing music I have purchased and when I try to connect when it request me to I get the following error message:
    Cannot complete  iTunes Store request. A required iTunes component is not installed (-42404)
    Please help.

    Is this music purchased back in DRM days? I don't actually have any iTunes music so I can't test with my iTunes 7.5, but I know that without iTunes 10 you cannot even connect to the store anymore.  I wouldn't think that would require an active connection to the store all the time, otherwise how could you play music on a computer in the middle of nowhere?  Did you do something to trigger iTunes suddenly wanting to connect and check on machine authorization?

  • I burned my first iDVD andpicture quality is not good.  Originals are excellent.  My photos are shot in raw or jpeg, both are not sharp when I view my DVD.  I viewed it on my 1080 dpi tv and my new apple computer.

    I burned my first iDVD andpicture quality is not good.  Originals are excellent.  My photos are shot in raw or jpeg, both are not sharp when I view my DVD.  I viewed it on my 1080 dpi tv and my new apple computer.

    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico:  http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie  as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast,  for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
    To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

  • Have new Apple Display Monitor

    I have a new Apple Display Monitor with new Thunderbolt cable. I currently have a MacBook Pro with older Mini DVI port. Is there an adapter for going from TB to DVI?

    No - you MUST have a Thunderbolt port on your Mac in order to work with the Apple Thunderbolt Display.

  • HT204053 I have an iPhone 4S and the new Apple TV, both setup with my email as the Apple ID.  I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID.  Is a second iTumes Match subscription required for her to use our music from iCl

    I have an iPhone 4S and the latest Apple TV, both setup with my email address as the Apple ID.  I subscribed to iTunes Match so our music could be played from iCloud.  I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID.  When I try to turn on iMatch so she can play our music from iCloud on her new iPad it tells me that she needs a subscription to iTunes Match.  Is it Apple's intent that we would need two iTunes Match subscriptions?  If not, how do I accomplish what I want to get done?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

  • Wifi speed and the new Apple TV concerns

    One of the great things about my classic ATV is that I can start downloading a movie before dinner, and know that my viewing experience later won't be subject to variances in the wifi speed. In my experience, wifi speed and reliability can vary widely - and my worst nightmare is a video that stutters or freezes.
    I new the new box has the faster modern chip, but I'm concerned Apple has no control over what might be the weak link: the wifi connection.
    Is it time to make a run on a couple of classic boxes? Are they still in stock anywhere?

  • I need to delete old apple ID and password and assign new apple ID and password.  FIrst Apple ID was Compromised

    I need to delete the name of my old apple ID and password since it was hacked.  I created a new Apple ID, and password they work fine getting in and out of account however Apple has kept my old hacked account in their record for updates.  I also can not use ITunes applications because Apple has kept old hacked email in their system and they are matching it up to my IPAD and my IPOD touch serial numbers I believe.  Any Idea how I can fix this my self without buying their phone warranty plan?   I have gone into settings and tried updating info their and with apple on phone once before they said they fixed it and now the latest IOS 6 update won 't load to IPOD TOUCH due to this.
    HELP !!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!?????????????AT A LOSS ON THIS ONE???????
    Any suggestions would be appreciated?

    First, if you still have access to the hacked account, rename it if you can and change the password for it.
    How to change the name you use for your Apple ID
    If needed, change the email linked to it as well.  Get control of that account back.
    As all iTunes purchases are linked to the account that purchased them (music, apps, etc) it is best to rename an account rather than creat a new account.  Apple ID's can't be deleted or merged either.
    From Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you need further Apple ID help, you will want to contact Apple, Apple ID Support
    or maybe iTunes Support

  • HT204053 Old Apple ID used with new iPhone OS, how to sync and use new Apple ID?

    My iCloud account on my iPhone is my old Apple ID. My MacBookPro and iTunes are with the new Apple ID. I updated my iPhone with the new operating system and my iCloud account was with my old Apple ID and wouldn't accept the Apple ID or password so I had to skip the step where it synced my FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud. How can I change my Apple ID on my phone so it reflects my Apple ID on all my other devices?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
