ADC Display and Mavericks compatibility

After installing Mavericks I can't set the brightness of a 20 inches Cinema Display (ADC) anymore, options are just gone.
Anyone experienced the same? I already have reset the PRAM but it didn't fix it.
I'm using a Macbook 5,5 with an Apple DVI to ADC converter.

Hi,
I have the same problem. Mac Pro 3,1 with EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, 30''-ACD plays fine including brightness control, but 2nd screen (old 23''-ACD via ADC-DVI-Adapter) shows no brightness control. Has been all ok under Mountain Lion before.
I just filed a bug report at Apple's feedback page.

Dual ADC displays and a vid card w/ no ADC ?

Hi.
I've got a PowerMac G4 with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro vid. card. I bought it when I purchased my 17" Apple display not knowing that the Apple display had its own connector that required me to but a $99 adaptor that also requires a power cord!
Anyway, my old CRT (that acted as my 2nd display on the G4) finally died. I purchased a nice 15" Apple display, but apparently forgot to consider the ADC connection.
I need a cheap, fast solution.
I've got a G4 with the 9800 Radeon which has a DVI and VGA connection.
By the way, does having 128MB DDR of video ram help with rendering time??
Ok, back to the original question.
I also have the original video card that came with the PowerMac G4 1.2mhz Quicksilver. I believe it's an 9000 Radeon. It's got an ADC and VGA connection.
How can I setup a dual display on the G4 with the two Apple displays? Both are ADC and neither card has (2) ADC connections.
I've got two ADC to DVI convertors and I have the VGA to DVI convertor that came with my 17" apple display, but the DVI end doesnt match the DVI end on the 2nd ADC to DVI convertor.
Any suggestions? Is there a dual ADC video card?

Hi
As far as I'm aware, the Radeon 9000 that came as the stock graphics card in certain PowerMacs had an ADC connector and a DVI connector. It also came with a DVI to VGA adapter. If this is the case you should be able to attach one monitor directly to the ADC connector and the other to the DVI connector using the $99 DVI to ADC adapter. You'd be losing the benefit of the Radeon 9800 though.
Unfortunately there aren't any graphics cards with dual ADC connectors, as the card (and AGP slot) would have to provide enough juice to power two monitors. The options seem to be:
1. One AGP card with an ADC connector and DVI connector, which would require one DVI to ADC adapter, such as the Radeon 9000.
2. One AGP card with two DVI connectors, which would require two DVI to ADC adapters, such as the Radeon 9600 retail version. Mines worked perfectly, although there do seem to be problems with it in certain Quicksilvers and Digital Audio G4s.
3. One AGP card with a DVI connector, which would require a DVI to ADC adapter, such as your existing Radeon 9800 and one PCI card with a DVI connector, which would also require a DVI to ADC adapter, such as the Radeon 9200. An AGP card with an ADC connector would also work but seems pointless given you've already got the 9800 and adapter.
Unfortunately I'm not sure there is a really cheap solution. As already mentioned, there are VGA to DVI converter boxes on the market, but they're incredibly expensive and you'd be converting from digital to analogue and back to digital, with some loss of quality.

Adc Display and a G3

My G3 Blue and White PowerMac is running great running OS X but my clunky VGA monitor is starting to take up alot of desk space. I would like to add a 15" ADC Monitor to it (just to keep my apple apple) and I know that there are plenty of deals on them. I currently know that I need the DVI to ADC adapter with the power brick to support the monitors power needs, and that my VGA graphics card cannot support this at all. Leaving the question what is the best card for the job? Do I need a vintage sort of card or is there a newer card that will support it (computer and monitor). Thanks for your help. Oh and I'm going to upgrade to Tiger soon in the future if that helps. Thanks anything is appreciated.

I will try to answer your questions but I am not an expert.  Here's what I found...
Leaving the question what is the best card for the job? Do I need a vintage sort of card or is there a newer card that will support it (computer and monitor).
Your G3 B&W and older use PCI 66mhz slots for the graphics.  I did a search and found a decent selection of cards but none of them had an ADC connector.  I then did a search for ADC cards and they all required a AGPx2 slot or faster.  Using an Apple monitor with ADC connector requires power in the same cable which the original PCI slots could not provide.  Plus the ADC connector was not released by Apple until after AGP came in the G4's.
So it seems that you have a choice to make.  If keeping the G3 is your priority then you will have to find an Apple monitor with a DVI connector.  There is a decent selection of PCI cards that have VGA/DVI/S-video with a good amount of ram on them.  If getting an Apple LCD with ADC connector is your priority then you could get a used G4 with ADC card in it already.  Remember the first AGP G4's (sawtooth) don't have the power to run an ADC equipped monitor. All G4's that came after are fine. I just bought a G4 867 quicksilver off ebay for $150 shipped and it works great!
Oh and I'm going to upgrade to Tiger soon in the future if that helps.
Just a bit of advice.  If you are going to Tiger to meet software requirements or for needed features then by all means.  But if you are going to Tiger for speed then I would not recommend it on any G3.  I am using Tiger at work on a G4 400 and it runs fine but I would say it's bare minimum.  Panther would be the best system for a G3 both for speed and stability.  Plus most copies of Tiger come on a DVD.  You can find Tiger on CD's but they are hard to come by.  Panther came only on CD's.  Of course if you decide to get a G4 then Tiger will do nice.
Also remember that the actual acronym of Apples monitors is ACD = Apple Cinema Display.
The connector you are refering to is ADC = Apple Display Connector.
Hope this helped.

Thunderbolt display and Mavericks

I have a Thunderbolt Display. Since I installed Maverick, I lose my Ethernet Display connection everytime my laptop turn into repose. I have to plug again the thunderbolt conexion to be conected to internet or I have to restart my computer.

I went to the Genius bar to get a diagnostic. They checked the error log. Check yours. The events or stuff listed between "Kernel Extensions in backtrace" and "BSD .. blablabla" (see below) describe why the kernel did panic.
They told me that the issue is the TB plug into the MBP connected to my logic board. Result: they are going to change the logic board (for free because I'm still with the warranty. Otherwise the cost is something like $500.00). That may also explain why the application icons in launchpad are gone.
I hope it will help!

AICS 5 and Mavericks compatibility?

I am a hold-out user of AICS5. Is anyone using it successfully with Mavericks? I don't NEED to updgrade, just curious.

Hi,

HT3382 Mini Display and Thunderbolt compatibility

I have a Apple LED Cinema display that uses the Mini Display. I plan to get a new MacBook Air that has thunderbolt display connector. Will my old display work with my new MacBook Air?

Yes, Mini DisplayPort devices will also work with computer Thunderbolt ports.

Mac Pro Adc Displays

Hi
Since Friday i have a Mac Pro.
I connect my old Adc Cinema Display, with an ADC-DVI Adapter.
Everything work fine.
I have another 17" ADC Display.
Is it possible to connect two ADC Displays, with two ADC-DVI Adaperts to the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT Graphiccard without a problem?
Thanks
Greetings from Vienna

I'm seeing a lot of this.
Pay attention closely.
If you have an ADC display and you want to connect it to the new Mac Pro, you must buy a different adapter. The ones supplied with the Mac Pro do not connect an ADC display to a DVI Mac Pro. You need to buy one that has a power supply and a USB port. DrBott and Apple make them.

Matrox DualHead2Go and ADC Display?

I have an older 17" acrylic display with that big ADC-DVI adapter. I'm currently using my Macbook Pro (ATI X1600 video card, Dual-Link DVI connector) with a surprisingly good HP VGA panel, the same resolution as the Cinema Display.
Has anyone had any luck with using an ADC monitor with the Matrox DualHead2Go? I'd like to connect both of these displays to my MBP, and have heard concerns about compatibility with certain devices and the ADC adapter. Secondly, does anyone know if the DualHead2Go can support mismatched signals, at the same resolution(1x DVI, 1x VGA).
I suspect I need the Digital Version, but it seems that because the signal has to turn into VGA first, it may not work with the ADC display. So third, is the Macbook Pro capable of connecting to the newer DisplayPort version of the DualHead2Go? Assuming someone makes a DVI-Displayport connector.

The idea behind the DualHead2Go is that the two displays be matching displays, so mismatched resolution won't work AFAIK. But you can ask Matrox that question to be sure.
If your MBP has DVI for its output, then it won't be compatible with the DisplayPort version of the the DualHead2Go.

APPLE 30" Cinema Display and ATI Graphics Card compatability

hi all
I have a 2year old APPLE Dual proc G5 PowerMac 2.0mhz (1.5GB Ram) with an ATI graphics Card which is a ATI Radeon 9600XT 128mb ram.
This currently works well dipslaying via a Apple cinema 23" screen. However i would like to upgrade the screen with an Apple 30" display now. Will the current ATI Graphics card support a 30"display or will i need to replace the card on buying a new monitor..
i was looking at potentially a new ATI X1900Xt card.
any experiences and help please ...
Thanks Paul

Your existing card will not run the 30" at full resolution. The ATI X1900 XT won't fit because it is not AGP.
The fastest AGP card for your G5 is the ATI Radeon X800 Mac edition
<http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ATI%20Technologies/100435317/>
It has one DVI dual-link port that will run the 30" display, and one ADC port.

ADC displays, 10.4.11 and MDD

I've been running a dual 1.25 PowerMac G4 with a 23" Cinema display (ADC) for about 8 years now without a single hint of trouble. No room for the 23" ADC monitor on my desk anymore (making room for 30" w/MacPro), so I picked up a 17" ADC Studio display and wall-mounted it (actually, I have two of these).
Trouble is, my MDD G4 refuses to turn on with either 17" ADC Studio display connected. (LED only blinks once, machine never goes on.) The 23" Cinema works perfectly (as always) and a 15" ADC Studio display works, too. Both 17" ADC Studio displays work fine connected to an old G4 Cube, but both prevent my MDD from starting up. I always thought any Apple ADC display would work on the G4 MDD - no? What makes the 17" Studio displays different? Video card is the OEM ATI Radeon 9000 Pro (1 ADC, 1 DVI).
What am I missing? All four displays work, only the combination of MDD and 17" Studio display fails....?

Tried to startup from a great old SCSI drive running OS9, Monitors CDEV set to proper resolution, etc.
Computer's power button LED only lights when pressed, nothing else happens.
It's a hardware issue, simultaneous with two identical 17" ADC Studio Displays? I have an ADC to DVI converter, but what's the point of trying that? So..... why do they both work perfectly when plugged into a (10.3) G4 Cube?! What's the diff between G4 MDD (Radeon 9000 Pro) and G4 Cube's AGP cards (32MB VRAM 1280x1024 ATI RV200? - upgrade from OEM card)....?

Cinema HD Display and Mac Mini compatibility?

I have an older 23" Cinema HD display and am trying to determine if it is compatible with a new Mac Mini. The only thing that looks like a Ser No is on the base: 2A6402H0G0. Is this the SN? And is it compatible? TIA

Is it this one? Then it has an ADC port and connector, and it's unlikely to work as several other threads here suggest.

Compatibility issues with CS5.5 and Maverick 10.9

I'd like to know if there are any compatibility issues with CS5.5 and Maverick 10.9 before I upgrade from 10.6.8.

To be honest, I use the CS5 Premium Creative Suite and have had to upgrade all my app's to Mavericks because I have a new iMac, the other one just died.
I used the 'Time Machine' to backup and to transfer all the files, the Mac apps almost transferred 100% but not all successfully, especially iDVD, it was probably something that I did not click in the 'Time Machine preferences'.
If I had the choice, upgrade to 'Mountain Lion, I would revert back to Mountain Lion but not got the discs, I find Mavericks very clunky and slow and causing lots of issues with my Adobe applications.
So if it is not too late, I would wait a few months before upgrading to Mavericks.
Hope this info' has helped.

Are there ANY compatibility issues with Itunes 12.0.1 and Mavericks? Don't want to download Yosemite. Not hearing good things about it.

Are there ANY compatibility issues with Itunes 12.0.1 and Mavericks? Don't want to download Yosemite. Not hearing good things about it. I'm on Mavericks 10.9.5.

one obstacle, quickly removed. thank you.
nomenclature aside for a moment, 10.6.8 is correct but maybe more is necessary about the MacBook Pro: it is 'old': Identifier: 1.2, Intel Core Duo, 2.16 GHz, 1 Processor, L2 2 MB, RAM 2 GB.
i hope that is enough to get an answer to this: is it unadvisable to update its OS; in other words, if i update to 10.9, will the machine be able to handle it, 'speedwise'?

New documents get stuck at top of 2nd display only in First Class app and mavericks

I've read a lot of the discussions about windows getting stuck in the left corner, etc. My problem is slightly different.
I seem to have a unique problem. I am running 10.9.2 Mavericks and have an hdmi cable connecting my tv as a 2nd display (extended desktop).
We use First Class as our LMS, and I will frequently have a window open on the 2nd display (random) and get "stuck" at the top of the screen.
It doesn't seem to matter what the display settings are. The bar with the close/max/min buttons is not showing, so I cannot drag the window anyplace. The only way I've found to unstick it is to change the display setting for the second display and then move the window. sometimes this will happen each time I open a window in F.C., and sometimes it stops. The display settings don't seem to matter, except that when I change them (only for the 2nd display), the window unsticks. Thoughts?

That is because you don't make any attempt to clear the old list and repopulate it, you just make a new one and add it in. Try making a constructor that creates your GUI then just add, clear, and otherwise manipulate the objects/lists in the GUI--you don't need new ones.
