Apple 30" LCD working on a PC?

hey, im looking into getting the 30" lcd, but i want to use it with a new pc that i got. the video card on it is top of the line, so its got two dvi's, will the lcd be able to connect directly? or do i have to get this dvi/adc adapter from apple?

The 30" needs a dual-link DVI port. If your graphics card has one, the 30" will work. It is DVI so you won't need an adapter.
You may want WinADC to control the brightness.

Apple TV not working with new 23" cinema display

OK so I finally found a functional use for my new Apple TV, which has been sitting unused in my living room. My MacBook Pro already connects to the HD projector in there, so Mac TV is just less functionality and redundant.
I decided the only use I have for a keyboardless Mac interface for just music, podcasts, photos, and videos is the bathtub.
Being the Mac fanboy that I am, I wanted the solution to be all Apple.
So I headed down to my local Apple Store with the intention of buying a new 23" Cinema Display for my Apple TV and an iPod HiFi for the sound. I was dismayed to see them showing off the Apple TV on Sony LCD TVs. Why wouldn't Apple want to sell people a triple-play package and have it set up as a demo? After all, they weren't selling the Sony TVs anyway.
But my first sign of trouble was the very nice store employee who didn't know if the Apple TV would work on a cinema display. But he definitely wanted to find out when I got home. Searching here, I found posts that seem to confirm that it would work, but the actual source is related to an older ADC cinema display, not the new ones.
I set everything up and used a Toslink-minijack adapter to run the optical digital audio from the Apple TV to the iPod Hifi. I used an HDMI-DVI-D adapter to connect the cinema display to the Apple TV. I powered it all up.
I got the white Apple logo on the screen, then everything went black. I used the Menu and + keys on the remote for 6 seconds to cycle through the resolutions. Still all black. I used the Menu and - keys on the remote to reset to factory settings. Again booted into blackness.
Interestingly, while using the + and - keys on the Apple TV remote, the iPod HiFi volume was lowered and raised simultaneously with the moving of the menu selections in Apple TV (I could hear the clicks). What this means is, 2 remotes, each paired to each device, will be needed for proper operation. This is why having too simple a remote is lame.
At this point I am dead in the bathtub water. I drop more money on Apple than it costs to get a new iMac (which is plan B) just so I can give the Apple TV a shot in my bathroom. But it all doesn't fit seemlessly together on first try.
Any suggestions? Could the HDMI-DVI-D adapter be blocking the HDCP signal needed to display an image? Is DVI-D the wrong adapter to use? Any help is appreciated.

I've not been convinced a monitor will work with the tv, but I have to accept the word of those that have had success. I'm not so certain that a monitor is a suitable first choice, maybe if you have one lying around OK, but to buy one instead of a tv is not only a very expensive alternative but even if it works you will have no way of controlling the brightness etc.

Possibly, Did you ever manage to repeat getting the apple logo or indeed anything even if only for a few seconds. DVI-D or DVI-I would be the right connector, don't use a DVI-A

OLD Apple 22" LCD @ 1600 X1024 On my PC

Hello I am using an Apple 22" LCD with a Apple DVI to ADC converter on my PC its running off of a GeForce 7800 GS AGP card. The LCD is great. The only problem is that it some times shuts off and will not turn back on again unless if keep it unpluged for 24 hours. The problem rarley happnes and it only happens when I reboot the computer or when the OS goes into standby. The display will go black and the white LED on the bottem right conter that is inside of the power button will get very bright. I would like to note that the pc that it is running on is in perfect working condition and it does not have any isues, also i know its not the Apple DVI to ADC becuase I have a second one that I used when the problem first occured and it did not solve the problem. I have heard that it might be a problem with the compatibility of the LCD with the converter in conjuction with the OS but it will do the same thing on Linux and Windows .. I have not tried using it on Mac os... any ideas on what it could be or how i can fix it please let me know... Thanks

If it doesn't have a USB connection or wireless capabilities, then I'm afraid you're out of luck - it needs to be connected somehow so it can react to computer commands.

Need a video card for Dual G5 w/ Apple 23" LCD

The ATI Radeon 9600 Pro AGP video card has died in my Dual G5 1.8GHz. I ordered the machine CTO with that card in October 2004 because I was doing some amateur video and graphics work.
Having changed career paths completely my big-bad Mac has been relegated to bookkeeper and web-surfer status so I no longer need any more video horsepower than is necessary to drive the Apple 23" LCD.
Please suggest a fair to good card I can get as a replacement, preferable at or near $100.
Thanks for the help!!

Here is a selection of video cards which will all fit your particular model G5:

Best calibrator for Apple Cinema LCD?

At the suggestions of contributors to this forum, I bought and now am more than half way through Fraser's Real World Color Management. I have found it relatively easy for a novice to understand and am grateful for the guidance to get it. Now, however, I must act on some of the info in the book. A first step is to buy a calibrator.
Does anyone have experience with a particularly good one? (I have a 23 in Apple Cinema LCD.) I went to the Apple store and the only one they carry gets rather negative reviews. I am willing to pay for whatever is necessary to get something that works superbly.

G4 Mirror, no power at all even for the Apple 15" LCD display

I bought an used G4 Mirror along with the matching Apple 15 LCD display.
The problem is that it won't power up at all. Not even a hint of fan noise or a light indication.
Funny thing was that it was working fine when it was at the seller's home.
I did everything from replugging every connections possible such as the internal power cables, data cables, resitting the CPU, hard drive, graphic card, etc. I even pressed the power botton hard for longer time but it didn't work.
One thing I've noticed is that the touch sensitive lighted switch located on the Apple LCD monitor isn't lighting up when connected to the G4 via ADC connection. Also, the touch switch is not responsive to the touch at all.
The G4 won't power up without the monitor as well.
Does it mean that I have a dead power supply?
Thanks.

Thank you all.
I forgot to mention that I did place a brand new PRAM battery as well.
I also checked the RAM and just about everything else I could imagine.
I'm not completely clueless with the PC troubleshooting as I do build PC time to time. But this Mac is dead as a log when the power switch is pressed on.
I have another beige Mac that has no trouble booting up without the PRAM battery. I have a PC that will boot even without the battery, RAM, graphic card, CPU, fans, etc.
I haven't had a chance to buy the multimeter yet. But I too am suspicious about the PSU. I even opened up the PSU but I saw no blown capacitors, burnt transistors or anything that looks abnormal. Is there a website where they can DIY fix Mac Mirror PSU?

AirPlay mirror on Apple TV stops working when a Skype or Google conversation is started (iOS 7)

I thought it would be nice to see Skype contacts on the large screen and realised this should be possible using my Apple TV, but AirPlay (in mirror mode) on Apple TV stops working when a Skype or Google + conversation is started after showing all right on the TV till that point. I'm using iOS 7 and the problem occurs on my iPad 2 and iPhone 5. Facetime seems to be OK, and Skype works over Apple TV when using my daughter's MacBook Pro (though I haven't tried Google + on it), so I deduce that the issue is with iOS 7. I have had success one or twice with using Skype in this manner on my iPhone so it is not consistant, but this is rare and hasn't happened in my latest attempts. Unfortunately some of my Skype contacts don't have an Apple device so I often can't use Facetime.
Is there a work around, or has Apple acknowledged this issue and said there will be a fix?

Same problem here.
iPhone 5s + apple TV + Skype all are up to date. Mirroring is working until the video signal starts, after that the Apple TV goes back to the Apple TV starting screen.

Apple remote not working

My Apple remote is not working with my MacBook. The Mac OS X 10.5 Help Knowledge Base says to go to Security > Systems > and Disable remote control infrared receiver. I don't have a systems button or box nor the checkbox to Disable remote control infrared receiver. And, my MacBook has an infrared receiver.

Hi Focus,
I have the same problem. When I update from TIger to Leopard the front row apple remote still working. But is been a long time the last time i used and now on 10.5.2 osx the apple remote not working as I imagine.
I read some answers that help me understand better the problem. My check box of "disable remote.."is unchecked and I saw a "pair" button and try to pair with my apple remote. The tips told me to HOLD "menu" and "next" buttons of apple remote to pair him with computer. And Works fine. So I try to push only Menu button (as I've done so many times on tiger) but still does not working. So I realize the command to "start front row from apple remote" now on Leopard 10.5.2 is MENU+NEXT buttons and does not anymore only menu button. For me works like this.
While I write this answer I try again push and hold only MENU button and after almost 2 or 3 seconds holding button appears on screen an virtual image of my apple remote signaling to replace the battery, may be now will be works only on push menu, but I need to change the battery first.
I hope help somebody.

Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address. My other devices all have the correct address. How can I get the correct address for my iPhone? The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address. My other devices all have the correct address. How can I get the correct address for my iPhone? The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Yes; you can have up to five iTunes Store accounts authorized on any one system.

I presently use iCloud and run a laptop PC plus an iPad2 and an iPhone 4. I plan to travel and want to take my netbook, rather than the laptop PC for travelling. How do I get my apple tools to work mwith a new, temporary PC?

You can export ONLY Camera Roll photos and videos.

Sign in to iTunes Store (on desktop itunes) with your ID. Plug your iphone to itunes, right click on it and choose transfer purchases.Right click again and choose backup. Then you can sync with iTunes.

Your conversations will not deleted if you sync with your iTunes.
What is the problem with iCloud? iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes syncing.

My apple ID password works for all of my devices but one. i only have one account and have changed the password several times but still cannot get it to work on my iPhone. any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer.
it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used).
even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps. however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps.
Thank you.

Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes and App Store on my iPhone? Nothing happens if I click buy for apps or music. If I then go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. If I then enter ID and password it does not save or link to account?

Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens. When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account. I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
Good luck.
