Apple ADC 20'' Acrylic display, lower end going dimm...

Few questions actually....
I got it for free, cause its not working properly obviously...
I want to repair it, installing new fluorescent bulbs i can get online, but everybody is scaring me that it might be the inverter board instead of the bulbs.
How can i be sure?
The right bulb is blinking, yes. 2 short blink and 1 long in repetitive manner...
Is there a way i could disable the light blinking?
Best, MAtt

I would think so, yes. THe backlight is the problem...
However, it can be the fluorescent bulb or the inverter board. At least that is what they scare me with when asking around for help...
I just want to know for sure. I don't mind replacing them myself, i just need to know what to get...
The biggest issue i have is the fact, that we dont have an authorized repair in Slovenia. A company that could do it, said will charge me 500Euros, for replacing the whole LED display...
Getting the bulbs is not so hard, resolder them by myself neither...
Anyone can help me confirm the problem? I am also seeing something that could look like a yellow-green fluorescent light leakage in the lower edge.
Best, matt

Not all the sound docks accept both analogue and optical on the auxillary input - I don't think the portable ones does but may be wrong - check the user manual.
As I said earlier all the mini optical (min Toslink) adapter does it make the optical connector fit a smaller socket, it does not convert digital audio to analogue for an analogue only auxillary input.

Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even thoug it

Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even though the iphone is in warranty.

iPhones do not have an international warranty. Warranty is valid only for the country of purchase. This is most likely because different countries require different iPhone models. Not reasonable to expect all countries to maintain stock for all models.

Low end Apple supported printer

Since I could not find a driver for my Dell V305 printer, can anyone recommend a low end all in one printer that will work with OS X 10.6.1?
golfer man

Dell does not actually manufacture printers. They are re-badged printers from other makers. So it is possible that the other printer's driver will work.
A Google search on "Dell V305 Mac" suggests that it is actually the same printer as a Lexmark X4650. So you might try selecting that printer driver, if it is already installed, or going to the Lexmark support web site to download the Mac driver for it.

Apple icon, sad face, and low battery symbol (not charging) what's going on

my iPod U2 4th gen started acting up on me. it needed to be reset more and more often, until it decided to just stop working all together. it would show me the apple sign, sad face, and low battery symbols. bought and installed new battery, won't charge. it changes from apple icon to sad face back and forth on it's on when plugged into wall with firewire. goes from apple icon to sad face when connected to pc via USB. pc won't recognize it. please help! i've tried everything! is there something wrong with my hard drive? i'll pay anything to save the files on my hard drive. HELP!!!!!

Hey man...I have the EXACT same Ipod with the EXACT same problem. I went to the apple store and they told me I had to wait 3 days to make an appointment with a "Mac Genius" to look at it and that with all the repairs done it would probably cost me $150. Frustrated, I went home and did some research and heres what I found:

I kid you not. So basically I put the wall charger on, let it charge for 3 hours. Took it off the wall plug and then slapped the $#!t out of it 4 or five times. Then turned it on. Same sad face. Tried a combination of the reboot procedure and slapping around and now it works! Good luck and hope it works for you too!
I feel like going to the apple store and slapping the crap out of "Mac Rip Ppl off Genius"

Why is the Apple Weather App wrong for low temps in Albuquerque, NM? Low temp is always displays about 10 degrees too low.

Why is the Apple Weather App wrong for low temps in Albuquerque, NM?
Low temp is always displays about 10 degrees too low.

The reason for the problematic weather prediction in Apple is simple and disturbing at the same time.
1. Traditionally Apple gets its weather data from Yahoo! they do so regardless to the fact that Yahoo is not a weather company, this arrangement has historical reasons (and it has nothing to do with the accuracy or quality of service you as a user are getting from Apple weather).
2. Yahoo! (not a weather company) gets its weather data from the Weather Channel.
3. Weather Channel CEO (David Kenny) also serves as Yahoo board member. So good luck changing the Weather Channel Yahoo agreement.
4. The iPhone build in weather app is one of the world most popular apps, The Weather Channel has no incentive to make the Apple weather app as accurate as The Weather Channel own app.
The result is – easy to use inaccurate weather app

Macbook pro 13inch high end model retina or 15 inch low end model retina?

Hi, Im currently looking to upgrade my macbook air mid 2011 model in the next few months.
I am looking at getting a macbook pro either the high end 13ich retina or the low end 15 inch low end model. just not sure what to get.
i like the look of the mbp 15inch with the speakers on each side, but im not too sure about the weight issue. im going to be starting uni this year (travelling my car) and im not sure if the 15inch is going to be too big.
is the 15inch heavy to lugg around?
what mbp is better for a uni student?
or should i wait incase a newer model comes out?
thanks guys

A couple of factors you should take into consideration. You should find out from your school what applications will be desirable for the studies you will be involved in. Most are PC applications so that you may have to install Windows in your Apple. Depending upon the types of applications, a PC may make more sense.
Do not dismiss an Macbook Air. They are thin, light and the battery run times are superior to the Pro's. I suggest that you select the smaller version of each unless a larger display has great appeal to to. Aside from the disply size, there is little difference for a college student between the 13" and low end 15" MBPs.
Ciao.

Ancient ADC to mini display adapter

I would like to connect my (old) 17" flat panel studio display to my Powerbook Pro. Maybe all I need an adapter? The display male connector uses a single cable for all functions (power, USB etc) it is rectangular with rounded ends (.35" x 1.22). Part of the rectangle has 30 pins arranged in 3 rows of 10, the remaining part of the rectangle has a blade contact surrounded by 4 round pins. The round pins are all the same size. The total round pins is 34.
I see an adapter that is close, but its connector is a little shorter and has 3 rows of 8 pins (24) and no holes for the 4 pins that surround the blade contact. The Apple store people said this was an early version of the Apple ADC and adapters for it had been discontinued.
Any suggestions for hooking this up would be much appreciated. I consider myself a skilled constructor of kluge ups and posses excellent soldering skills, if it comes to that.

If the display uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)

you will need a DVI to ADC adapter

20" acrylic Display not working with 15" MBP

I have a 20" acrylic Cinema display (with the Apple ADC-DVI adapter) that works fine with a PC and with my 15" G4 PowerBook. When I try to use my 15" MacBook Pro (the 512meg VRAM one) the internal screen flashes but the Cinema display never shows anything on the screen. It is detected and properly identified and I can set the res, etc. in the Display prefs. I can move the mouse off the internal screen over to the Cinema display as well, I just can't see it. When I switch on Display mirroring the internal monitor seems to display the screen from the Cinema display because the background changes to the default apple one.
The MPB works fine with an external Samsung 20" LCD. So I don't think it's the DVI port...
I'd hate to have to get a new monitor just because I can't get this one to work. Any suggestions?
Thanks. Ray

Need new low-end graphics card for Power Mac G5 (PowerPC 970)

My Power Mac G5 (PowerPC 970) has recently died I believe due to a bad
ATI RADEON X800 XT MAC EDITION video card.
Reason for thinking its the card, is that the machine was performing its intended tasks for several days even though the monitor was snow.
Having trouble determining a low-end replacement. (I no longer need the enhanced features of the RADEON X800 for this machine.
Much appreciated if someone could suggest a product appropriate for PowerPC 970.
Thanks!

I also ran into this issue with my dual G5. When I bought it, I didn't get wireless because it was a dedicated desktop on the network, but I'm upgrading and giving it to the kids to use in a room without wired network. Now that wireless would be really nice and it looks like the official solution is:
"Apple Wireless Upgrade Kit for Power Mac G5 Dual or Power Mac G5 Quad MA252G/A"
which is really expensive and difficult to install. But the weird thing is that I do have bluetooth. I wonder if there's just some little doodad I need to connect to get wireless going too, but I can't find any info on the card, and it looks like it's buried on the motherboard behind all the cooling stuff. I'll probably just spring for one of the USB solutions.

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!

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.

Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter with a VGA monitor?

Hey everybody,
I have a quick question. I work on computers fr friends and family as a hobby. I have an ADC monitor and need ot be able to hook up computers with a VGA port on them to it. Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter along with an Apple DVI to VGA adapter to successfully connect VGA computers to my ADC display? I was assuming this would work and ordered both adapters but now I have made myself nervous about weather or not this will actually work. Has anybody out there successfully done this? Thanks for your help in advance everybody.

You can't run an ADC display with a VGA computer without a converter. Adapters won't do it.
a VGA to ADC converter will drive the ADC display directly

If you have the Apple DVI to ADC adapter
<http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=18 72D402&nplm=M8661LL/B>
you could use it with a VGA to DVI converter
<http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1310>
It might be cheaper to get DVI graphics boards for the computers and use the Apple DVI to ADC adapter.

Your title says "Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter with a VGA monitor?". If you want to connect a VGA monitor to a computer's ADC port you need the ADC to VGA adapter
<http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1299> You can't use an ADC to DVI adapter followed by a DVI to VGA adapter, because the ADC to DVI adapter doesn't pass the analog video signals needed for VGA.

Why doesn't the volume control settings allow a greater range (on the low end)?

Maybe my ears are really sensitive, but for every iphone I've had, the lowest volume is not low enough. My phone is often louder than I want in my headphones even at the lowest setting. I find myself trying to lower the volume but ending up in silence. After putting it back up to the lowest setting, I end up clicking down again a few minutes later because it's too loud for my surroundings and situation. It's a huge volume jump from the lowest setting to completely off, and alot of times the lowest setting is too loud (even with normal buds or headphones).
The volume limiter setting only limits the upper end, but doesn't change the lower end (just makes the 16 set increments smaller in that reduced range). I know there is also an option to turn down the volume of individual songs in iTunes options, but this problem applies to all aspects of the iphone beyond just my music library (Music apps, Videos, etc.).
Why hasn't apple expanded the lower volume limits? There has to be a way, or is this not possible? Can anybody think of a way to fix this problem?

Meg St._Clair wrote:
Look for headsets with a volume control.
I did exactly this for awhile. I used to have Skullcandy Asyms with the inline volume attenuator (wheel). They've since discontinued them, and my 5 pairs are having wire connectivity issues. All their current models have iphone like volume mechanisms. The problem is most headphones with volume controls tap into the phones own volume control (so the set 16 volume increments). I also looked into using a dongle attenuator, but having the dongle hanging off the phone is just awkward and not easily adjustable.
I don't know why there can't be some form of internal attenuator option, or some other way of extending the lower range of volume.
Does anyone else have this problem of the iPhone being too loud in semi-quiet environments?

My Iphone 3G stopped booting and failed to start. After some time, I have restored the Iphone OS using Itunes (ver 4.2). Itunes restored it successfully, but the Iphone didn't responded and remained the same.except apple logo, nothing is displayed.

Hi,
I have an Iphone 3G.
Its 9 months old mobile and it has OS 4.2 in it.
When I am accessing wi-fi, suddenly the display went-off and then I was not able to start my phone again.
Later I tried to restore and update the Iphone using Itunes.
I have updated the Itunes.
Using hard-reset, I tried to restore the OS and did the same successfully.
After installing the same over my Iphone 3G, I didnt recieved any intimation for completion of the process, besides, I was not able to start the mobile even I have reset the OS.
when I push the wake-up button, I am able to see the Apple Logo and after some time, it goes off and remains idle with no more display.
I tried to reset OS twice, it remained the same.
Can any one help me here with this issue.
I am not even able to figure-out the cause of the problem.
Thanks in advance.
Bharath.
