24" LCD has Super short mini-display cable that does not reach

I was setting up a 24" display (on an LCD arm) and i noticed the mini display cable is very, very short. It does not reach to the Mac Pro under the desk. I guess the 24" displays were made for laptops and did not expect that the cables would need to reach under a desk.
I couldn't find a Mini-display to Mini-display extender. Does anyone know of one?
Anyone considering two 24" monitors might want to review their own setup, to see if it works with the exceptionally short mini display video cables on the 24" display.

Charles, did you ever find a solution for this problem? I am ready to get a new Mac Pro and 24" display, but a 3 foot (1 meter?) cable is about two feet too short. I don't want to have the MP box sitting between my feet so it can be within 3' of the connector at the back of the display. I talked with someone at the on-line apple store today and he checked with an engineer and looked at the cable that comes with the display, and it was indeed only ~3' long. Since this type of monitor connection (the mini display port) is supposedly going to become the new "standard", I would hope that companies (e.g., Belkin, etc) will have high quality but longer cables available. I assume that the cable you have has the same mini display port plug on each end, and no adaptors are necessary?
If anyone has a solution to this short cable dilemma, please chime in!
Thanks

  • Indesign cc 2014 displaying font that does not match font specified

    Not on all fonts but with, in my case, when I specificy Meta or Futura, indesign displays times new roman - it says the font is available and that the font is installed but the displayed font does not match.
    Have reinstalled font explorer pro plugin, restarted computer, indesign and font explorer to no avail. I have also switched off nearly all my fonts to check if there is a font clash - no fix………..

    Do a search for adobfnt*.lst files and delete all of them that have two digits in place of the *. On Mac, also run a utility that can clean the font caches (FEX may be able to do this, but if not, Cocktail, among others can, or I think you can do it through Terminal).

  • Thunderbolt Versus Mini Display Cable

    I want to extend the Thunderbolt cable on the back of my display to my new Mac Pro.  Apple only sells a male to male Thunderbolt cable and they do not sell a Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt connector.  C2G sells a mini display cable that they claim is the same as a Thunderbolt cable (Part 54168).  It has a male connector on one end and a female connector on the other.  It will definitely extend my existing cable but the question remains that will it provide the same connectivity (functions) as the Apple Thunderbolt cable which has two male ends.
    Can anyone provide some insight?

    The Mini DisplayPort cable won't work.  Buy a M-M Thunderbolt cable and connect it from the computer to the Thunderbolt port on the back of the display.  You can then use the display's Thunderbolt cable to connect other Thunderbolt devices.

  • Display As Text (Does Not Save State) Render Behaviour

    I suppose this is directed more at the Oracle team members (as most of my posts are...) than anyone else, but others might find this interesting.
    It would seem when an item has a type of "Display As Text (Does Not Save State)" the item's value is output as pure text which shows up as text nodes under the TD cell. However if there is anything in the "HTML Form Element Attribute" text field on the "Edit Page Item" page, the APEX rendering engine will output a span tag with those attributes around the value of the item. If the attribute is left null, no span tag is output.
    Further more, the span tag does not have an ID attribute. One can also not set the "HTML Form Element" text box to contain the text 'id="" ' as APEX will throw an error stating that you can not specify the id attribute. So if someone would happen to want to access/change the value via JavaScript (say after an Ajax request of a hidden id change), it requires a hack (setting the TD cell's ID to the page item's name), DOM inspecting/sniffing, outputting an ugly disabled text element, altering the flows user's tables, or altering the render cache.
    Is there any reason, why this span tag is not always output with the ID attribute set?

    Hello Andrew,
    You are, of course, correct. The APEX engine does not use the item ID for the "Display as Text (does not save state)". However, if you need to manipulate the item, using JS, you can use the "Display as Text (save state)", which does use the item ID. The on-screen effect is the same, but the JS use is easier.
    Your original question though, remains open.
    Regards,
    Arie.

    I need to work on Adobe Premiere on my 2013 Mac Book Pro (with thunderbolt port) and display it on my 2010 iMac (with Mini DisplayPort) using Target Display Mode (TDM). I tried using a thunderbolt cable plus Option F2, but it didn't work. Will a Mini Display cable work? Any other suggestions?

  • Mac mini minidvi to hdmi does not display correctly new Panasonic TC-L37D2

    Hi,
    I have the 2009 mac mini (2.2GHz cor 2 duo nvidia 9400 256mb) and I recently purchased the Panasonic TC-L37D2 LED LCD tv. I use the mini dvi to dvi adapter with a belkin dvi to hdmi cable I purchased at the apple store to connect the mac mini to the tv. I cant seem to get the display to correctly fill the screen. When I select 1080P the top menu bar is out of view. Basically the desktop is larger than what is displayed on the screen making navigation difficult. I tried overscan but my screen then has black bars framing the entire desktop. Are there any updated display drivers I can try to fix this. I tried the third party software switchresx but I was only able to correct the vertical issue and not the horizontal issue (so the apple pulldown in the upper left corner is off of the screen). Why is it such a hassle to get this working? My buddy has a 42 inch Panasonic plasma and does not have any problems. Anyone know the correct switch resX settings at least? I see that Apple has added an hdmi port to the new mac minis but that just means I should have waited to buy mine. :/

    Read my post in Mac Mini to HDTV. A 3rd party utility called DisplayConfigX will allow you to create a custom resolution that will resize the Mac DVI/HDMI output to fit.
    It is annoying when that top menu bar is off the screen huh?

    I just bought my 10 year old autistic daughter an IPOD touch that she needs to take to school with just the music (no apps) on it but she also also has an IPAD mini for home that is fullly loaded with apps.  The last time I tried to connect 2 devices to Itunes I ended up loosing my own music library so I am a bit hesitant to start setting up this new IPOD touch with outsome help.

    Please help! I just sync my notes to icloud of my ipad mini but after that all notes has been covered by iphone's and all notes are missing from iPad,how could i restore it?

    It's very possible that you did just as you suspect. One of the later Note file over wrote the one stored on your iPad when you synced.
    When one does a sync of their iPad a backup of the iPad is created first. If that backup was still available you might be able to find the Note file there. But more than likely, if you are letting the iPad and iPhones sync on their own over Wi-Fi you have over written that back up as well.

  • Javascript not working with 'Display as Text (does not saves state)'

    Hi,
    We have these following items in P3 of our application,
    P3_EDIT_ACCOUNT Display as Text (saves state)
    P3_USEFUL_LINKS Display as Text (saves state)
    P3_LAST_APPROVED Display as Text (saves state)
    P3_ARCHIVES Display as Text (saves state)
    And we are initializing these items in a pl/sql process under 'Page Rendering'
    For example,
    :P3_ARCHIVES := '<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">Archives</font></a><td> ';
    When our environment was upgraded from HTMLDB1.5 to HTMLDB2.0,
    instead of displaying the proper value of :P3_ARCHIVES,
    it was displaying the tags,
    i.e. instead of displaying 'Archives', it was displaying the whole
    '<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">Archives</font></a><td> '
    So, when we changed all items to 'Display as Text (does not saves state)' and it was working.
    But then we have another problem,
    We render the rest of the same page with another pl/sql block,
    Here is a portion from that pl/sql for your reference,
    htp.p('
    <script>
    //Script to check the status change.
    //The script source is rendered through PL/SQL.
    function checkStatus()
    var promptStr = someString;
    if(ans.toUpperCase() == "AMBER" || ans.toUpperCase() == "RED")
              var cnfm = confirm(promptStr);
              if(cnfm)
              do something....
    </script>
    htp.print('
    <td width="5%" bgcolor="#ebebc5" height="19" align="middle" >
    <input TYPE="radio" name="'||l_g_fnumber||'" value="GREEN"');
    IF l_allow_update THEN
         htp.print(' onClick="checkStatus()"');
    ELSE
    htp.print(' disabled onmousedown="return false;"');
                        do something....
    Now the issue is , when we changed all items to 'Display as Text (does not saves state)', the checkStatus() function is not getting called in the onClick
    event of the radio button and hence the confirm window for the call to
    confirm(promptStr) is not coming up.
    But if we revert back the items to 'Display as Text (saves state)',
    the checkStatus() javascript function is getting called properly but html tags are displayed against the items instead of the proper value (as mentioned in ********)
    Please do let us know a possible solution to this issue.
    Thanks & Regards-

    You can't. Any version before Creative Cloud does not support high-DPI displays and that is just that. If you cannot adjust the system's screen resolution and so on, then there is nothing you can do.

  • The cumulative balance displayed in FS10N does not match the sum of the det

    Hello,
    The cumulative balance displayed in FS10N does not match the sum of the details.  For example, we have a GL disbursement account that has a ***. Balance of 8 million.  The debit is 2 million and the credit is 10 million. But, when you drill down on the ***. Bal. for the current period, the sum of the details is 9 million.  According to our users, the 2 balances should equal.  I did a search in this forum and found 1 post stating they had the same issue and the answer was to run f.16. Has anyone experienced this and if so, how did you handle it?  I'm not sure how f.16 functions.  Do we have to run it for each consecutive year?  I'm not a FI specialist.  I'm responsible for data archiving and the users think it's related to archiving.  However, we have a test system that was resynced with production prior to when archiving was done and it shows that this issue is pre-existing.
    Thank you very much in advance,

    Hello,
    There is a possibility that you have activate line item display for some of the accounts at a later stage. Meaning that earlier postings were not be shown for the earlier postings but only totals will be made available. Therefore, obviously there is bound to be difference between line item report and totals report.
    You need to identify which accounts are being changed with line item display at a later stage.
    In case if you forget to keep GL Line item display for an account, but the posting are already made the following steps you would required to get the line item display retrospectively.
    1. Note that you are NOT required to make the balance of that GL account to ZERO. Please do not confuse with Open Item Management.
    2. Put the check box line item display for the account in FS00. Make sure you are entering right company code.
    3. Block the account for posting in COA Segment and Company Code Segment in FS00
    4. Go to SA38 and run program RFSEPA01 (Give correct GL Account and Company Code)
    5. Now, remove the block you kept on the GL Account in FS00.
    This will reset the line item display retrospectively.
    Hope this will solve your problem.
    Regards,
    Ravi
