2003 HD cinema display pinkish Hue round top right edge

Hi
Just bought a HD Cinema display 23" from ebay for £100 and it has a very slight pinkish hue around top right edge I could live with it only if it does not mean the LCD is dying?
Any reasons? is the display dying or possible ideas on how long it has left?
thanks
John

Well I called AppleCare yesterday and, believe it or not, we actually got the USB ports acting normally - well at least I can boot up with the keyboard plugged into the back of the monitor.
They had me reset the Open Firmware and that seemed to do the trick. Of course, the night before I updated to 10.4.10 so that may have had something to do with it, too. No idea.
As for the power sensor button thing, they wanted me to plug the monitor into a different system, either at a Genius Bar or a friend or whatnot to see if it would behave in the same manner - not wanting to activate. I took it to school with me and hooked it up to one of my teacher's G5 and it behaved the same way. It took like 15 times touching the sensor to bring the system up.
So I'll be calling them back and see where they want to go with this. Maybe I'll get lucky and get a new shiny monitor - or not...

Macbook air 2012 not displaying icon on the top right corner

hi guys
as the title, my macbook air isn't displaying icon on the top right corner. for instance, my volume icon and wifi icon disappear. furthermore, ocaasionally there some flashes on my screen. this never happen to me before and i am reinstalling my OS 10.8 right now. Anyone know what is wrong with my laptop?

Hi Matze_Moto,
It should not be an issue. What you are seeing is the ability to Mirror your display to an Apple TV. If you feel that there is an issue, click on the menu to see if it is actually connected to another display. Check out the article below for more information.

G5 dual 2.0Ghz bought in 2003+ 30" cinema display?

Hi all.
I bought the first generation G5 dual 2.0Ghz in 2003 and am sure that I have Radeon 9600 pro video card installed in the computer. Currently, I am thinking of buying 30" cinema display and did some research on it's specification.
I found that Radeon 9600 pro: pc/mac edition is compatible with the monitor, but I am wondering if the 9600 pro version can support the monitor.
If it can't, would anyone like to recommend a good graphic card except 9600 pro:pc/mac edition? Ugrading from original 9600 to 9600-pc/mac edition just sounds like a waste of money because of their similarity of specifications.
Any responce would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks..

To find out if your Mac already supports a 30" 2560x1600 resolution, go to the monitor resolution icon at the top of your Finder/menu bar on your desktop. Click on the icon and explore the various resolution possibilities. If they go all the way to 2560x1600 your good to go. No need to buy another card.
Unfortunately, I purchased a similar model in '04 and it does NOT include a sufficiently good enough graphics card to power the 30" [I was told by the apple dealer in '04 that it did. It doesn't.]
My research in to graphics card options for 'our' situation is as follows:
Low End: Radeon 9600 Pro Mac & PC Edition [$199]
Mid Range: Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition* [$250]
High End: Redeon x800 [$399]
I don't think the Rad9800 can drive more than 2048x1536. This might be satisfactory for you, it's not quite the maximum of 2560x1600, but your menus will be a little bigger at 2048x1536
Good luck.
My question to no one in particular is: did all early PowerMac G5 towers ship with AGP 8x slots? or 4x slots? or what?

There is a small light leak Along the top right edge of my iPhone's display (visible under a certain angle)

I just wanna know that is it the same for every one ?

yes. i had my glass replaced a few weeks back for $29.99 due to scratches from my keys in my pocket.
the four corners of the iphone screen do have a slight white glow when the screen is black but not sleeping.
it is common, and not a defect. - just a slight design flaw.

30" Cinema Display on my 2003 G5?

I'm getting a lot of conflicting information and hope to hear from someone who has done this. I ordered one of the early G5s - sept 2003 - which is a dual CPU 2 GHz machine with the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card.
I know THIS card will not support the full resolution of the 30" Cinema Display. But is there a card with will work in THIS computer model? Or is it possible that this early G5 will not support the 30" display, at all?
Question isn't just recommend the right graphics card, but one which you know will work in this early G5.
for background - interested in screen real estate not game performance; doing mostly video work.

The "quicksilver" is a G4, yes? And you list the
Radeon 9800 pro as your graphics card - that's the
one I have in my G5 today. It does not have, of
course, the dual DVI / DDL output needed for the 30"
display.
So have you actually installed the 9600 and driven a
30" display with it, from this CPU?
I did buy a 9600 PC&Mac card for my Quicksilver with the idea of maybe getting a 30" display in the future, but the card would only occasionally start. When it did start, it would run fine until the Mac was shutdown or put to sleep. After sending a couple of replacement cards that didn't work any better, ATI admitted that many G4s earlier than the MDD models would not work with that card. MDD and later G4s and AGP bus G5s should work. ATI now has an article in their support site listing unsupported G4 models but have not updated the 9600 board's web-page. Eventually they replaced my 9600 with a 9800, which does work, but has only one DVI port, and will not run a 30" display. There is no supported way to run a 30" display on my Quicksilver.
The 9600 definitely is designed to run one 30" display (the second DVI port is only single-link):
"The Radeon 9600 PRO PC & Mac Edition provides the most up-to-date display support, powering the market’s latest, digital flat panel monitors and dual-link DVI ultra high-resolution flat panel monitors, including Apple’s 30-inch Cinema HD Display® (2560 X 1600 resolution)."

Cinema Display Vertical Line

Hi,
My Cinema Display (LCD, 21" I believe, came with Powermac G4 MDD 2003) has had a pink / red vertical line in it for quite some time now. It seems to sometimes change color, but is usually redish. It sits right in the middle of the screen, and goes all the way down from the top to the bottom. It is two pixels wide.
I have used another Cinema Display the same on this computer, and no lines, and tried this display on another Powermac, and I have lines.
Are there any warranties for this sort of issue? Any fixes?
Thanks for your help,
Jordan

Lines appearing on the monitor is a product fault with some of the Apple monitors. A quick search of the web will yield 100's of identical reports of the same problem.
I started with one line and now I have 3. You should expect the same. The fact that Apple have refused to address or even a acknowledge this product fault is a disgrace.
I'm sorry BSteely but your suggestion that we should simply replace our monitors because its out of warranty is ********. A product fault is a product fault pure and simple...Its not like Apple monitors are inexpensive, I have several other non-apple monitors and have never had this issue with them. It is the manufacturers responsibility to insure that a product leaves the assembly free of fault.
This is not an isolated problem but a problem in manufacture and Apple need to do something about it to restore goodwill, as I simply will not buy another apple monitor until they prove that this issue has been addressed.

Dual 27" Cinema Displays Thunderbolt High CPU

I have been running a MBPr (10.9.2) with a single 27" Cinema display for over a year no probelm.
I decided to get another one and daisy chain them as I was under the impression that the MBPr could handle this without any issues.
My MBPr has 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB ram, NVIDIA GEForce GT650M 1024 MB so should be man enough for the job.
Since running both I have noticed the fans kick in constantly after about 40-50 mins of use and the top left corner of the MBP gets very, very hot.
As well as the fans kicking in I am getting continual spikes in CPU up to 500% from kernel_task which makes it almost impossible to do any work.
When this is happening I am seeing the following in the console log continuosly, which I am guessing would match up with the kernel_task doing tsome kind of IO work:
20/03/2014 09:14:58.000 kernel[0]: IOPPF: Sent cpu-idle-plimit-notification last value 6 (rounded time weighted average 6)
20/03/2014 09:15:10.000 kernel[0]: IOPPF: Sent gpu-external-plimit-notification last value 15 (rounded time weighted average 13)

20/03/2014 09:15:35.000 kernel[0]: IOPPF: Sent cpu-plimit-notification last value 28 (rounded time weighted average 28)
If I unplug the displays and jut have the MBPr running on it's own it all calms down and goes back to business as usual.
If I unplug one of the displays (doesn't matter which one) and run just 1 display and the MBPr all goes back to normal no problem.
I also use Citrix receiver for work, if I kill this off all seems to calm down again eventually, although it can take 10-15 mins.
So far I have raised a ticket with Apple support and reset the PRAM & SMC. The next step from Apple support is to reinstall OSX, which I am loathed to do.
Can anyone tell me what the following is and what it is doing / used for?
IOPPF: Sent gpu-internal-plimit-notification
IOPPF: Sent cpu-plimit-notification
If anyone has tips on how to debug kernel_task too that would be great.

Hi Andy,
I have just dug out an old Bluetooth keyboard and am running in clamshell mode. So far it seems better, I'm not seeing the kernel thrash it's nuts off!
I would still prefer to be able to run 3 x screens which I think my MBPr should be able to do, it's a waste having the screen closed on the laptop!
I'm also fairly confident it doesn;t have anything to do with Citrix too. I have witnessed the same behaviour with just Chrome and Mail running this evening.
Thanks for replying, good to know it's not just me! Hopefully Apple Engineering will lookinto it and create a fix.
Thx//56k

Disconnecting Cinema Display Leaves Windows Stranded on Laptop

Dear All,
I use a 17" PowerBook with a newly purchased 20" Cinema Display in dual screen (non-mirroring mode) at work and just the laptop at home. The CInema Display is set as the primary monitor.
Using Excel in dual screen mode before leaving work on Thursday, I had a spreadsheet open on the laptop (secondary) screen. I disconnected everything and went home. Now, with only the laptop, that spreadsheet is inaccessible. It's open and, by using Expose I can see it, but when I pick it, it just slides off the screen.
Is there any way to get it back?
I'm figuring when I get to work I'll be able to get it. And I also assume that I should have probably gone through a "detect displays" sequence after disconnecting (although that's not working now). Maybe using the laptop as the primary display is the secret as well. However, it would be nice to be able to get it now.
Incidentally, I do not find Apple's dual screen setup very elegant. Having the main menu only at the top of the primary screen means a lot of mouse movement when using the secondary screen. In addition, when I use right click menus on some secondary screen programs, they appear on the primary screen.
Thanks for the help... Jim
PS - For those who saw my post on another forum about a window too large to access, it is not related to the dual screen. It is running on a different system without the dual screen although I tried using the larger dual screen to acces it (unsuccessfully).

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and run the following:
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
set bounds of window 1 to {61, 95, 465, 313}
end tell
Insert the application's name in the first line inside the quote marks, press the Run button, and then resize the window. Close all open documents in Excel which you can see. This script may not work for all applications.

How do I attach my iSight camera to my Apple Cinema Display?

I've just bought two iSight cameras, and found nothing in the accessory kit with them that would allow me to attach the camera to my Apple Cinema Display. This is because the back of the Cinema Display is beveled rather than flat, so the flat base of the accessories won't set firmly.
Does anybody have a solution for this?

I have a Samsung Laptop but would like to use Cinema Display with mini displayport. Is that possible?

I have a Samsung Lap top but would like to use Cinema Display. The only connections on my lap top is HDMI and VGA. How can I get it to work?

Thanks Malcolm. I saw this on the apple site
Kanex C247D Single-Link DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter
Will that work?
I also spoke to someone at apple..They told me to get 2 cables. Mini DisplayPort to Dvi and Dvi to Hdmi..Connect the 2 and it will work...Do you think it will work? Just to save$$$

How do i connect my Fujitsu Tablet + mac Pro to Apple Cinema Display 23'?

Dear Mac users
thanks in advance for your help.
I currently own:
• Fujitsu T 4220 (tablet) – Mobile Intel 965 Express – 60 Hertz – goes up to 1680*1050 (guess SXGA) – (it has the following other supported resolutions: 1400*1050, 1280*1024, 1280*768, 1280*720, 1024*768, and 800*600)
• Mac Pro
• Apple Cinema Display 23’
What I would like to do is, please refer to the jpeg posted on http://www.flickr.com/photos/34831802@N06/3234336204/, connect – at the same time – my tablet pc and my Mac Pro to the 23' Apple Cinema Display and switch (when I need) from tablet to MacPro using the same 23’ ACD. Top would be to be able to switch for one to the other while they’re both switched on. Usually on 2 pc’s with vga I’d use a switch A → B (in the jpeg it would be I → E) with a selector.
Have been reading different posts such as: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8000641&#8000641 or http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6530475&#6530475 or
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7417258&#7417258
+ others on the net and have (hopefully) understood that:
a) from Vga to Dvi I need a converter such as Geffen’s or similar
b) the problem with ACD 23’ is that it has only 3 resolutions: 1024*640, 1280*800 or 1920*1200
In the attached image I guessed a connection in order to connect – at the same time – both the machines to the 23’ ACD:
1) my fujitsu tablet (i in the image) has to be connected, with a Vga cable (h), to the Vga → Dvi converter (g).
2) from the Vga → Dvi converter (g) I need to connecto to the Dvi switch (c)
3) easier is connecting the Mac Pro (e), since I only need a Dvi cable (d) to connecto to the Dvi switch (c)
4) the Dvi switch (c) will then be connected to the 23’ ACD with a Dvi cable
Now, my questions are:
a) is the solution described above (Vga cable (h) to the Vga → Dvi converter (g)) a good solution or should I use, instead, a docking statione that comes with a Fujitsu Port Replicator (FPCPR65) which has a 1 x DVI-D port?
b) Given the 3 resolution accepted by the 23’ ACD (1024*640, 1280*800 or 1920*1200), I do not understand if I can use my tablet through a Vga to Dvi Converter and at which resolution (my tablet has the following other supported resolutions: 1680*1050, 1400*1050, 1280*1024, 1280*768, 1280*720, 1024*768, and 800*600).
c) Is there a way, also using an external video card or converter, to bring my resolution from 1680*1050 to 1920*1200? (the 16:10 ratio is in fact the same = WXGA (1280x800), WXGA+ (1440x900), WSXGA+ (1680x1050), WUXGA (1920x1200)
d) Talking about Vga → Dvi converter (g), am aware of the gefen product. Can you please list some others that might be good as well?
e) And how about the DVI switch? Any will work? Any particular suggestion?
Thank you very much for your help.
If you have any other suggestion, please let me know.
Regards,
Emil

Using Cinema Display and Samsung LCD with One Mini

I have been trying unsuccessful to output the DVI of my mini to my 23" Apple Cinema and my Samsung 4669F (native resolution of 1920x 1080p). I have tried various methods including using the Gefen 1:2 DVI Splitter (Ext-DVI-144) and a DVI-HDMI cable to the samsung in conjunction with SwitchResX, all to no avail.
Any help?- I wish to mirror the same display on both LCD screen simultaneously?- However, I would settle for a solution of a convenient A/B switch? ANy tips?
What about an external USB video card for the Mini- that should work too?- any tips?
I used SwitchResX because I determine that because the 23" ACD was 1920 x1200, the Samsung was not displaying because the Gefen splitter box was sending the same signal in 1920 x1200 to the Samsung, which was not accepted by the Samsung whose native resolution is 1920 x 1080p. However, once I switched the resolution to 1920 x 1080 to force an out of the mini to that resolution, there was no display at all on the 23" ACD and I had to do a safe mode reboot to recover the display on the 23" ACD?-
One would think that it would be relatively easier for Apple to create a script that would allow a person to display 1920 x 1080p on the Cinema Display, a script that overrided the message from the ACD that tells the mac mini to stretch any resolution to 1920x1200 before it gets to the 23" - This way I could use SwitchResX and the Gefen splitter to output 1920x1080p to both displays at once (of course the 23" ACD would have to have some black borders on the top and bottom. Why doesn't apple make this available? - Spent $900 on this monitor and the Mini has a DVI output- why should the Gefen splitter be rendered useless simply because my other display is a different native resolution.

Want to use a TV as a third monitor for Digital Cinema Display....HELP!

Hey Guys,
Here's my set up, please tell me where I am going wrong:
I have 2 22" LCD Monitors that I use for my main work. I added a second card to my MacPro so that I could add an additional monitor. Now I have a DVI to HDMI cable going to my Plasma that I want to use as playback for clients and such. Here's where it gets weird... In After Effects, I can use the Plasma in Digital Cinema Preview for Playback and Previews...works great. Then, when I open up Final Cut I have problems. First, when I go to "Digital Cinema Desktop - Full Screen" it display one frame and stay on that one frame even during playback. So then I changed my Sequence settings thinking my TV couldn't handle that Sequence. No I get a White Screen with no playback at all, not even the one frame. Now the weird part is that if I change the TV to my "Main Screen" in Monitor Prefs, and set Digital Cinema to "Main" it plays back fine. So, if I can playback with it as my main, why can't I playback otherwise? And...if it works in After Effects, why is Final Cut Having Problems with it? It's set to "All Frames" and "Desktop Mirroring". Thoughts? I have seen this set up work before...what am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to find out much the same thing. I would assume that anyone knows the answers can help both of us.
I'm purchasing a new Mac Pro desktop. I also use final cut but not after effects.
I actually have 4 monitors to choose from. 2 Dell 19" - One 27" Apple cinema display and a spector High Def 1080i monitor that has a DVI input.
I would like to use one of the Dell's as my primary home desk top monitors with folders and all the usual dock and stuff. I would like to use the cinema display as my primary final cut work surface.
I would like to use the HD monitor to show HD footage and use it as a client monitor. Remember it has a DVI input.
I've talked with the folks at the Local Apple store and they are not sure if I will get a real HD signal on the HD monitor if I add a second radeon 2700 card to the computer and take on of those DVI outputs and attach it to the HD monitor.
If thats not possible can I use the apple cinema display as my playback monitor?
Or do I have to go with a conversion box like a mxo, AJA board, or decklink box.
The goal is to have two monitors for the program and One monitor in HD for the client monitor,
Thanks everyone in advance.

Can't Use Cinema Display 30-inch With G5 (AGP)

After making a trip to the Apple store to make sure we got what we needed, and because we needed a monitor ASAP, we brought home a 30-inch cinema display. The people at the store assured us that even though they didn't carry it, we could easily find a graphics card that would support this monitor on a G5 that has only AGP and PCI. Turns out they were wrong. After spending most of the day, between the hour drive each way to the store and lots of searching on the Internet, we finally came to the conclusion that we need to return the monitor. There are currently no available AGP or PCI cards that support the 30-inch monitor on a G5. The few that do support it are either discontinued or out of stock indefinitely, even from their manufacturers. Even Ebay only has one or two that are certain to work (as there are apparently multiple versions of the Radeon 9600 Pro). Whatever video card you get, you must be sure it specifically supports Mac, since the Mac's video card requirements are apparently not standard.
So this serves as a warning, if you have a G5 you may or may not be able to use a 30-inch monitor. It is far from a sure thing, and definitely not something you can go out and buy and then just bring home and plug in. This was also my first (attempted) purchase at an Apple store (since we buy mostly mail order), and it was very disappointing. We got bad information, a product we can't use, and now two wasted 120-mile round trips. Actually the best advice we got from the Apple store was to buy another brand of monitor. We should have listened.

Thanks. I saw your post just in the nick of time. I read it while I was on the phone with the Apple store discussing their restocking fee. I'll have the card tomorrow and hopefully my problem will be solved. And I was also able to cancel my order for the other monitor as it had not shipped yet.
But I still think my warning is valid. This particular card is discontinued and OWC only has a few left. And as far as I can tell, no one else has anything compatible. So in the near future, driving a 30-inch monitor with a G5 without PCI-Express will not be a sure thing, and will certainly not be a one-stop shopping experience.
Interesting side note, the Apple store was going to waive their restocking fee because they could not find a compatible card for me. When I told them I just found one, they said OK and didn't even ask what I found or where I found it.
