21" Studio Display geometry is missing

So, I just hooked up a new 21" Studio Display (CRT) to replace my old one and when I go to Preferences>Displays the geometry is missing. Only Display and Color are the choices. It was there before when the old monitor (the same type, a 21" Studio Display) was hooked up. What could have happened to the preferences just by attaching a new monitor?
I tried reinstalling the display software (which I still have from when I bought the original monitor) and installing the software Apple Displays 1.7.1, but it won't install on System X (10.3.9) Anyone have a suggestion?

Hi JayJay,
Have you tried restarting with the display connected?
I suspect the problem is probably the Display, which given its age, probably isn't worth spending too much money on.. Maybe you could get someone knowledgable about servicing to try to make one working display out of these two non-working ones.

Studio display 21 needs geometry fixed; use G3?

I have a 19" studio display 21. Yep, and the color is excellent. But the geometry is wacky.
There are no controls for that on MacPro OSX.6. Can I hook it up to the original G3 and reset
those parameters? Will they "stick" when I return it to the MacPro??
Thanks !!

Yes, the settings should stick. They get held in NVRAM.

Display Geometry Settings GONE

I have a 21" Apple Studio Display (VGA) and am using it as a second monitor, but now with 10.6 the geometry settings are gone. Snow Leopard also tweaked/modified my displays so I do need to adjust the image or dramatically lower the resolution to get the image correct - it's distorted to an unusable state.
Anyone know of a third party tool to adjust the geometry of Apple's CRT displays - I have a second 17" in the basement that I'm sure will run into the same issue shortly - as I'm assuming Apple won't be of any help.

My iMac has had a similar problem since the display was repaired while the machine was still under warranty (the problem back then was rolling flickering lines). The display gradually becomes shorter and wider; the only remedy is to turn the machine off and let it cool down for a couple of hours. I have to keep my display geometry settings at a "happy medium" so the Dock arrows on the left side are not totally cut off and so I can read DragThing's tabs at the bottom of the screen.

Can I connect my old Studio Display to my MacPro Tower as a second monitor?

I'd like to hook my old Apple Studio Display (Clear body) to my MacPro tower and use it for my Pallets in PShop. Can anyone tell me the cable(s) I need to convert the studio display to the MacPro monitor port?
Any idea on pricing?

Nevermind. I figured it out. I need the $100.00 adapter.

Dual ADC Apple Studio Displays (clear acrylic) with Mac Mini

I currently have the old school Apple Studio Display ADC monitor hooked up to my Mac Mini using the ADC to DVI adapter. I have a second Studio ADC Display and another ADC to DVI adapter to run Dual Displays. I just bought a SEE 2 XTREME DVI to USB which is used for adding multiple monitors. I have it all hooked up. Its just basic plug and play after installing the Mac driver. My second monitor power light just flashes and wont turn on...Any suggestions? I already made sure both monitors and both ADC to DVI adapters worked, and they do. Please Help!! Any info would be greatly appreciated.

yea, I checked that out about the light flashes. I have tried both monitors seperately and they both work fine...just not with this DVI to USB dual monitor adapter. Also, when I had them hooked up individually, I made sure the resolution was set the same in the system preferences > displays.

Mac Mini and 17" Studio Display CRT (ADC)

Is there someone who can tell me if there is a DVI to ADC Adapter to get a Mac Mini to work with the beautiful 17" Studio Display CRT (ADC). Which is an anolog monitor, the adapters i can find work only on LCD (digital) screens.
Please let me know...
Ger

Do NOT buy the Apple DVI to ADC adapter, it does not work with CRT displays.
The 'geniuses' at the Apple store recommended that I buy this adapter. It didn't work. I have since found out (after extensively surfing the web) that I am not the only one who has been recommended to buy this adapter by an Apple 'genius'. However, It is simply not designed to work with the CRT's, it is LCD only.
There is no way to make the ADC 17" CRT studio display work with new non ADC Apple hardware. Apple have simply dismissed it, much to the annoyance of all the customers who had purchased this perfectly respectable display.
If you want to use your Mac Mini you will need to use either a non-Apple display or one of their new displays. Your perfectly functioning CRT is now a doorstop.

DVI to ADC adapter STudio display will not power on when used with Mac mini

I have a Mac mini and I just purchased a used apple 17" CRT studio display. I bought the DVI to ADC Adapter as recommended by my Apple store. When I hook everything up (I have checked and redone this two times) The power light will come on for about a second when presses. When the mini powers up there is a blank dark screen. I would appreciate any ideas on this. thanks!
Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Hi
unfortunately I think the Apple store have sold you the wrong item.
I'm almost certain the DVI to ADC adapter only works with ADC based flat panel displays. DVI ports can output digital or analogue signals (or a combination of the two). The adapter seems to provide digital, which is why it works with the LCD displays, but not analogue, which is why it doesn't work with the CRT displays.
Confusingly Apple did a 17" Studio display both as a CRT and LCD.
Dr. Bott do a similar adapter but they explicitly state it's not compatible with the 17" CRT.
Unfortunately I'm not sure there's a solution, as the display has an ADC connector yet I'm not aware of any adapters available that will work.

ADC Studio Display 17" USB not working

Hi,
I hope someone can help.
I have a 17" Apple Studio Display that connects via ADC left over from my old Powermac G4. I recently bought the new Mac Mini (Unibody) and an Apple DVI to ADC Display Adapter to use with the HDMI to DVI Adapter to connect with the Apple Display.
This works perfectly however I have noticed the USB ports on the back of the display does not work. Could this be because the Apple DVI to ADC Display Adapter can not supply enough power via the connected HDMI to DVI Adapter to support the display and its USB ports? Is there a way too get them working again?
Thanks.
Chris

Hi. Thanks for that. As you say there must be something wrong with my display's USB circuitry then.
Just one more question, is the USB cable from the DVI to ADC adapter only for supplying power to the USBs on the display? Since the display's USBs are not working, will the adapter still work and power my display without using the USB connecter from this adapter? If so this will free up one of my USB2 ports on the mini.
Thanks again.

Studio Display 21" with Mac Mini?

I am considering getting a Mac Mini as an economical upgrade to my B/W G3 system but I want to make sire that my monitor is going to work with it. I have the origingal blue and white 21" Studio Display. the System Profiler says this......
Displays:
Studio Display 21:
Display Type: CRT
Resolution: 1152 x 870 @ 75 Hz
Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Not Supported
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Not Supported
Will this display work with a new Mac Mini? I really do not have the $ right now to get a new Monitor and this one works great anyway. I am also wondering how my current software,,,,,,, Photoshop,Indesign etc. will work with the new Intel Macs?
THanks for any input

Can't help on the screen much - believe you need to get an adapter, as the previous post indicated. You might check in the Apple dislay area at http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=111
Regarding your applications, as long as you're not running under OS 9 or earlier, your applications will run on the Intel mini under Rosetta emulation. Universal applications are those that have been modified to run on both the PPC and Intel macs, and they run natively. Those applications that have not been made universal run under Rosetta emulation. Photoshop is an example of an application that has not been made universal yet (supposed to happen this year with Photoshop CS3). Running under emulation does extract a performance penalty, of up to 50%, versus running in native universal mode.
If you have applications running under OS9 or in the OS X classic environment, you'll need to upgrade to an OS X version in order to run on the Intel-based mini, and you may find there are Universal versions of your software, which would be even better.

17in CRT Studio Display (Blue & White)-blinking power button

I have an Apple 17in Studio Display (CRT-Blue and White vintage) connected to my Power Mac G5.
Last night, I went home, and turned it on..or rather tried to turn it on but found it stayed black, with the power button blinking green->amber->green->amber etc.
As far as the computer was concerned, the monitor was still there and working (dual monitors...the mac kept the b&w as if it was turned on).
I swapped the monitors to the different video ports and the other monitor worked fine, so it's not the video card or vga->digital adapters.
I unplugged the monitor and replugged it, and it stayed with the blinking light.
Restarting the computer with the monitor attached had the computer still running as if the monitor was working just fine, so it seems to be getting what ever kind of feedback the mac gets to let it know a video card is there.
Anyone have any idea what could be up?

Brand new mac mini and Studio Display 17" LCD- 2 adapters needed- problems?

From many forum posts here and elsewhere it seems I can in fact hook up my Studio Display 17" LCD monitor if I used the ADC-DVI adapter. But has anyone used the ADC-DVI adapter AND the DVI-mini DVI adapter that came in the box with the Mac mini?
Apple tech support told me on the phone tonight that doing so would "fry" the Studio Display.
Has anyone had any problems using this? Will running it through 2 adapters cause problems as opposed to the older minis where you could just do ADC-DVI and then into the computer?

Were you able to get your display working? I have an LG 27" at home connected to a Mid 2012 (June) MacBook Air 13" that has absolutely no issues. However, I just obtained the same Samsung monitor you have and appear to be having the same issue.
The only solution that I have found is to unplug the power from the back of the monitor or at the power supply each time my computer either wakes from sleep, screensaver, or a display that is powered off. This seems to be true via the following connections:
1. HDMI to DVI thunderbolt adapter
2. HDMI to Thunderbolt adapter
The display powers on with a slight flicker and then will immediately stop displaying the image on screen. What's especially strange here is the MacBook Air still believes the display is connected -- my login screen or active apps that are displayed on the external monitor do not move to the MacBook Air display as if it's no longer connected.
I hope someone has a solution to this issue! Thanks!

Boot Camp - Windows 7 (64 bit) - Apple Studio Display - Driver

Used Bootcamp to add Windows 7 to my Mac Pro running 10.6.4
Works great but the Apple Studio Display becomes too dim on start-up of Windows 7 & I cannot control the brightness by using the Display's control.
As well, there is no software control.
Any idea where I can obtain a Driver for this Display for the 64 bit version of Windows 7?
Many thanks!
...John

From what I've found, it comes from some driver introduced in the boot camp update 2.1.
Some workarounds:
- install winACD, but it doesn't work on 64 bits systems, so no luck for us
- boot in OSX, set the brightness as you want, disconnect the USB from the ADC adapter, then boot in windows. But you lose the USB ports of the display, you have to reconnect it when you use OSX if you want to enjoy your display, and you have to reboot 2 times if you want to change the brightness in windows...
Some person said that it was caused by "KbdMgr.exe", but I couldn't find it.
A real solution, like a boot camp driver update would be great...
