Apple IIGS RGB Monitor, does it display anything without a video source?

I have a Apple IIGS RGB monitor no cable or computer to test it with. I just want to sell the monitor at this point. I don't recall in the past if this monitor displayed anything when it was powered on just lit up with when there was no video source. I just don't have the room to keep it and want to test it out. Since I have no way to get video is there a way to be able to test the monitor.
That is does it show raster to something when powered up without a video source. I don't recall what my old monitors did without video. I don't think I remember turning them on without video. Would I assume that is should work if the power light comes on but no picture(no video source) or should it at least have raster(white or some color screen)?
Thanks again,
Nick

Thank you, thats what I was afraid of. So it probably works, but I guess I will have to say it powers up and I have no way to test the video source to make sure. Does that sound about right? *I did try to adjust the brightness and contract but didn't see any changes.*
Thanks again,

You're leaving out the most vital part in your summary. You should be able to see change in the brightness if you crank it up. You need to put that in your description for full disclosure.

Apple IIGS RGB Monitor How ot Hook up to test with a PC

Hi,
I'm hoping I came to thr right place. I have a Apple IIGS RGB monitor I have no way to test it. I no longer have my old IIGS to test this with. I came across this from someone tossing it out. I was hoping to make a RGB to VGA cable but was wondering if anyone has tried this and if tis possible, what did they test with an old pc? Or do you have a better alternative. THe best way it to get a IIGS but that isn't possible at this point. Any and all help would be really apprecaited. I would like to check the monitor and see if it works.
Thanks in advance,
Nick

Many Apple displays of about that timeframe used a DB-15 (two rows of pins) connector. Adapters to VGA (three rows of pins) are readily available from multiple sources that deal in older Mac equipment. The adapters shuffle the five crucial signals (Red, Green+Intensity, Blue, Horizontal-Sync, and Vertical-Sync) so that they line up on the correct pins for VGA. There is only ONE way to connect the five key signals that will produce a picture, and every adapter (that is not defective) will connect those signals correctly.
You must be careful to get an adapter that has the right male and female connectors. There are two main types, one intended to adapt Mac displays to VGA computers, and the other intended to adapt older Mac computers to VGA displays.
Mac adapters also provide a code on pins 4, 7, and 10 that tells the older Mac what class of displays is attached, If you plan on using this with a Mac later, you will need the right adapter, or one with tiny switches. The various adapters differ ONLY in the ID bits on pins 4, 7, and 10, not in the basic connection of the Video signals.

No. GroupPix uses your Facebook ID to make an account that works with GroupPix. However, it does not post any activity updates unless you specifically share to Facebook.

LG monitor won't display anything via VGA cable

After updating to Quicktime 7.5 my screen on my LG lcd monitor starting moving up and down when using my mouse. After fiddling with the display controls to lock it back down it no longer displays anything through the VGA cable connected via the DVI adaptor to the monitor.
I am using a borrowed DVI cable to use the monitor, but I have to return that tomorrow. Tried permissions without any luck. Is there any fix for this problem so I can reuse the VGA cable without having to buy a DVI cable. Also, is there any solution to the floating screen problem?

Thanks. That solved the zooming problem. The monitor will still not work with the VGA cable though. Looks like I'll have to get a DVI cable. I had one when I got the monitor but now I can't find it.

IPad does not display anything !! (white screen)

Hey,
I have a strange problem with my iPad(16GB WiFi). It turns on but the screen turns white (nothing display… Not even Apple logo)!!
It responds to my interaction … For instance, I can slide to unlock it (of course, I cannot see it but I know where it is located)
I try to restore it through iTunes, it did but it does not fix the problem !!
In other words, everything is working but you cannot see anything on the screen.
Please help !!??

Searching broadly through discussion areas, such as Safari, iPhone, Mac, etc. getting a white screen is common. Apparently this can happen while logged into sites such as Google. Apple seems not to know or care about this issue, since no one from Apple answers any of these messages.
I managed to bring back Safari from the dead by going to iPad Settings for Safari and cleaning out Cache, Cookies, History. Don't know why this helped.
Am wondering what would happen if I downloaded Firefox to my iPad and started using it instead. Firefox has worked wonderfully on my other machines - Mac Pro at work, Windows 7 at home.

G4 12" mini DVI to VGA external monitor does not display

I have hooked up the mini adapter cable and hooked up the VGA cable to a Dell P780, which the apple recognized. The monitor acts like it is going to come on, but then appears to go into sleep mode... The G4 is functioning as if the monitor is working.
I hooked my PC to the monitor, and it works fine.
I have tried two different monitors.
I have reset the PRAM and NVRAM...
Before I set it on fire, HELP.

Are you using the mini DVI to DVI followed by a DVI to VGA adapter? That may not work if the mini DVI to DVI adapter does not pass analog video. If that is the case, you need the mini DVI to VGA adapter:

Macbook pro does not display anything

Model is Macbook Pro 15" Mid 2009 Unibody
Mountain Lion
Modifications:
CD drive replaced with additional 500 GB Hard Drive
One of the 2 GB RAM chips replaced with a 4 GB chip
Earlier today I was browsing the internet on my MBP and suddenly the laptop froze, the screen froze, the mouse and keyboard were not responding at all, which eventually led me to have to force shut it down (by holding the power button). When I tried to turn the laptop back on it started up (as in I could hear the fan and the white light came on) but there was no display and then 4-5 seconds after it turned off and then started up again by itself and stayed on, still no display on the screen at all, its off and the keyboard doesn't seem to be responding either which I figured by trying to press the caps lock button to see if the green light comes on in which it didn't.
I have tried pressing the Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Power button and then turning the laptop on but the same problem still persists. The laptop starts up, turns off and then starts up again and then stays on with nothing displayed on the screen and no response from the keyboard. The start up chime also doesn't occur. I am unable to start the laptop in Safe mode or any other mode that requires me to hold a button when powering up as the laptop turns off after 4-5 seconds and then starts up again. I have looked online to find anyone with a similar problem but can't seem to find any posts regarding this.
The laptop has not been dropped or anything, neither had it experienced any liquid damage. It has been running smoothly before the problem that occured earlier. I am in desperate need of my Macbook Pro and there doesn't seem to be any Genius Bar appointments available in the next 7 days in any Apple store near to me (Central London).
Any help or advise will greatly appreciated.
Khal

Make that genius bar appointment and wait those seven days. That is your best option to get it diagnosed properly (for Free).
Ciao.

Apple Mail 8.0 does not display email body for local folders

Last week I upgraded to Yosemite on a 2013 Mac Air. The upgrade went smoothly, but now I notice that all my mail on my local folders (i.e., not my gmail account) is missing the content of the message. New mail filed after the upgrade displays fine and messages filed prior to the upgrade that were sent from me, display fine, but all mail received and filed before the upgrade is blank except for the header. I tried to move a message thinking it might force Mail to identify a problem...and it does. It gives me the message "The message '<MESSAGE TITLE>' could not be moved to the mailbox '<DESTINATION FOLDER>'. Couldn't load body for <MFLibraryMessage:0x600000584780, library id:2172 conversationID:1224 mailbox:2010 <SOURCE FOLDER>"
I have scoured the web for solutions, and there are similar symptoms regarding Apple Mail and IMAP accounts, but my IMAP mailboxes display fine.
I made a TimeMachine back up before the upgrade, so I could restore the old OSX (Mountain Lion) and try again, but I'd love to find an easier solution.

Hi there,
ok now I found a solution:
Navigate to the folder which contains the local mailboxes as MBOX-Files. ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes/
Locate the MBOX-file which contains the messages which are not displayed.
In my case I tried to access mails from "Empfangen" and "Gesendet" so I copied over those two MBOX-files to the desktop.
Now go to mail.app and select import message box
In the following context menu select "import files from Apple Mail" (cuz Apple Mail MBOX-files are not standard MBOX format)
Import the content.
After import drag your messages from the imported folder to the original folder.
done!
I hope that helps someone who has the same problem.
Greetings

I am trying to restore my Apple TV. I followed the instructions in the article "Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV", but iTunes does not display devices. What do I need to do to see it?

I am trying to restore my Apple TV because when updating, it showed the USB cable point an arrow to the iTunes app icon. I call the apple support team and they said to connect the micro usb cable to my computer. But iTunes isn't showing the devices screen so I cannot do anything. Maybe it's the cable or something. Help.

Have you tried the following:
Disconnect the HDMI, power and USB cables
Wait for 10 seconds
Reconnect the USB cable
Immediately hold the menu and play buttons on the remote for 15 seconds
Apple TV 2 should now start flashing the LED wildly and appear in iTunes with the restore button.
If it still doesn’t show up, maybe it's your cable (even if it works just fine with other devices). Sometimes you need to wiggle the USB plug or put a little weight on it in order to have a reliable connection. Or just try another cable if you have one, sometimes that helps too.
If that still doesn't work, try the above but add the power cord after step 3 (and before step 4).
@Hecumi: this goes for your 2nd gen Apple TV as well, incl. the last tip concerning the power cord.
Hope this helps.

My non retina macbook pro mid 2012 will read the display its connected to but does not display anything at all

Hi there,
I have a macbook pro mid 2012 non retina display and i tried using an external display for it. I hooked it up and the screen blacked out and turned back on like normal and the computer itself was reading that the display was there. The only problem is that on the display itself there is no image of the macbook being displayed. im using a thunderbolt to vga connector and all the connection check out the only problem is the display. the display works on my other macbook that i have just fine i dont understand why it wouldnt work on this new one. Keep in mind i have had this computer for only 5 days.
Thanks in Advance

Mail RSS: Apple Hot News RRS does not display html page/images

Hi, everyone who use Lion in my community has Apple Hot News RRS and it is perfectly displayed in Mail RSS feed. as an html letter with pctures and etc.
I get only plain text with "read more" in the end.
I tryed to find the solution in every preference, option or right click - but either I'm too dumb or it is too complicated to be changed?
Please help.

Something I didn't mention in my original post: when I view the messages in webmail using Safari (the latest), all the content is there; but when the same messages are brought into Mail the content disappears.
Fortunately for me, the issue seems to reside only in content coming from this particular server; other html content comes through just fine. This is why I spent a week in server-side tech support. But because the content is viewable in ALL OTHER mail clients AND webmail, they think it's a problem with Mail.
And yes, I've fiddled with my phplist config.php file, and compared it to other phplist config settings that I use successfully. Besides the things that must change, all other settings are identical.
Apple tech? Any response?

Solman_workcenter does not display anything

Hi Experts,
I am renting Solman 7.1 server and trying to access remotely from home through SAP GUI. When I type the Tcode SOLMAN_WORKCENTER , I get a blank page and after a while it gives out a message mentioned below
This program cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
                     You are not connected to the Internet.
u2022     The website is encountering problems.
u2022     There might be a typing error in the address.
What you can try:
     Check your Internet connection. Try visiting another website to make sure you are connected.
     Retype the address.
     Go back to the previous page.
My Internet connection is fine , I have high speed internet and my SMWORK user roles are Smwork_basic, Smwork_change_man,Smwork_incident_man, smwork- myhome, smwork_Service_dev.
Also I have tried to add the IP address of the Solution manager server under C:\windows\system32\Drives\etc\hosts   ....still it is not working ...not able to understand what is the problem. Please help.
Regards,

Hello,
You are accessing Solman 7.1 from home.
What software do you use to connect to the corporate network?
Since you are getting to a point you can enter a transaction code "solman_workcenter" you have some type of connection.
Can you resolve local Network names to IP address on your home PC?
ABAP transactions can run on a simple terminal connection, webdynpro applications like Workcenters can't.
To me it sounds like you doo not have the correct connection type. Even the error message you are getting is indicating for the protocol it is expecting, there does not seem to be a connection.
"You are not connected to the Internet.
u2022 The website is encountering problems.
u2022 There might be a typing error in the address."
If you don't get this problem when you are logged on att he office, then, I would say your connection type is wrong.
WTS should work fine if the above is the instance.
Regards,
Paul

IMac crashing, New to Apple Support...Does this mean anything:

After one year of using it without issues my iMac began crashing occasionally. I timed it. . . every 23-24 minutes I'd get a spinning colored-wheel. . . I repaired permissions and this improved the frequency of not crashing to about every couple days. Today, it crashed (maybe) three times. I am new to things-Apple. . .
I found this in one of the logs. What does this mean?

Welcome to the forums!
If you are having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Brand New SunFire V40z does not display anything

I have just put 2 brand new Sun FireV40z in my rack, pluged the power, screens, keyboards and mice cables.
I have configured the SP IPs, then logged to the web-based consoles to create the Initial Manager Accounts on both machines.
Now I want to set up the SCSI BIOS through the LSI logic configuration utility, but when I press the platform power button on the server front panel nothing is displayed on the screen - wheras the small LCD screen displays appropriate information, fans are starting and the machine activates the floppy disk drive/CD drive as expected when OS is booting.
I have already tried with an other Screen / Kyeboard / Mouse without sucess. I have also validated my Screen / Keyboard / Mouse on an other machine.
The problem is the same on both machines. Did I miss somthing or does this mean the machine has a hardware problem?
Thanks.

Thanks
I have found a connectivity problem in one of the machine screens, which I have fixed - change the cable.
But the problem is still there in the second machine, I have contacted SUN support, they will come to check.
Thanks for your support - which confirms there is no special trick when starting a SUN machine for the first time.

Program monitor does not show anything

I just got CC and started editing a project I had originally started on a different computer in CS6 trial.
Opened the project, it converted into CC format, located files and everything. When I preview it, the program monitor shows black, but audio plays. I tried with a fresh project and added some titles, and still nothing in the program monitor. When I exported the media, it showed up correctly, but the previews were black.
Any idea how I could fix this problem? After Effects shows previews just fine, QuickTime seems to be working without problem, and I am kinda lost.
EDIT: Checked the Adobe Premiere Pro Preview Files folder: there's a folder called Untitled.PRV (my project is Untitled) which is empty. Shouldn't there be something in there?
Running on a fresh computer, 8 GB RAM, i7-3630QM 2.4 GHz processor, 2x GeForce GT650M, etc. I don't think the specs are causing this.
