Can anyone refer me to a good repair facility for an Apple Cinema HD Display 23 in? Like other displays of this model, it has an internal short that causes a flickering display.

For several years I have had a flickering or black display problem with my Apple Cinema HD Display 23 inch, model M9178LL/A. Like other displays of this model production it has an internal short that causes the flicker and burns out power adapters. I ahve taken it to the Apple store several times and they just kept selling me replacement power adapters instead of fixing the short. At my recent visit, they told me that they no longer support this model and that I have to find a third party repair facility.
Can anyone refer me to a reputable location who can do the correct repair. There are discussions on the Internet how to work around the short problem with electrical tape on the middle connector pins, or how to open the display to fix it myself, but I do not have the eyesight, skills or equipment to do this correctly.
Thank you.

In continuing my research on this topic, I found this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5198
Short version, the 23" Cinema HD is among one of several older "vintage" Apple displays that are no longer supported under Mavericks. No brightness control, and it's likely to not work reliably at all. I can't say why I was able to use it for as long as I did with no problems. I take all this to mean that the display itself works fine, but not with my new MBP Retina.
Though a tempting excuse to spend another grand on a 27" Apple Thunderbolt display, I opted for a $250 HDMI monitor from Fry's instead.

    Unplug your iBook from the AC power, shut it down and take the main battery out for about fifteen minutes. Then you can put the battery back in, plug the power back in and restart. This should reset the USB and FireWire ports.
    If that doesn't help, you could reset the Power Management Unit. Follow the instructions in Knowledge Base Article #14449 for resetting your PMU.
    You probably should also startup from your Mac OS X install disk and run the Disk Utility to "repair disk" on your hard drive. This will determine if you've got some kind of file directory/software problems with the files on your hard drive.

    Hi
    can anyone help me how to get facetime application for iphone 4s since i am not able to find it.

    FaceTime is builtin, there's no icon. Use your Contacts app and if the recipient has iPhone 4/4S, iPod Touch 4th G, iPad 2 or Mac, you can FaceTime them using Wi-Fi.

    Hey damien555,
    Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:

  • Can anyone remember when Preview.app first gained support for bookmarks?

    Can anyone remember when Preview.app first gained support for bookmarks?
    I think it was either with the advent of Tiger or reasonably early on within it's development (e.g. 10.4.2), although I may well be wrong.
    The reason I'm asking is that there used to be a capability in Preview.app that allowed you to open multiple PDFs in one window and print them all at once. I'm wondering about going back through my desks and hunting it out:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1388297

    Ha! Fixed it!
    Kept reading all "Preview+plist" threads and found this one: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17195650#17195650
    And sure enough, trashing ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Preview/ reset the preferences for Preview.app and now all key commands work without crashing.
    But if erasing that folder, and more importantly the plist in it, did reset the preferences, that would suggest the preferences were being saved there. So I now changed the prefs and quit the app, and then trashed the containers folder again, and restarted the app. But strangely the prefs remained. So I thought, well if the prefs were being stored there, maybe erasing that plist made Preview reinstate the regular plist in the regular Preferences folder? But no go, as there's still no regular Preview plist in the regular Preferences folder.
    So now, there's no regular plist, and erasing the Containers folder no longer resets the prefs, but changes to prefs are still being saved somewhere … so where the **** are they being saved now? It's like they just keep burrowing down further into the ground with every attempt to erase them. What the **** is going on? ;-)
    Anyways, the initial problem is solved, so … maybe I should just let the mystery remain? ;-)

  • Hi, can anyone guide me how to convert Freehand MX for PC into Mac Version?

    Hi, can anyone guide me how to convert Freehand MX for PC into Mac Version?

    You can upgrade to Mavericks free, just run the App Store program and search for Mavericks. But before you do upgrade I recommend the following:
    1) make sure you have a recent backup. TimeMachine is fine.
    2) Mavericks is somewhat more memory hungry than 10.7 was. You will need 4 GB of RAM and I strongly recommend 8 GB.
    Go back to the Apple menu and select About this Mac - look under the OS info you just looked at. You'll see how much RAM your computer has now. Then click on the More Info button. There you will see your computer info listed as in: iMac, 21.5" mid 2010, for example. Return back with that information and we can tell you how far the computer can be upgraded.
    If you decide to procede and you have enough RAM upgrading to Mavericks is quite simple. Click on the download button and let it do its job.

  • Can anyone recommend software to scan iMac hard drive for errors

    Hello Apple Community
    Can anyone recommend software to scan iMac hard drive for errors/defects/corruption?
    I've been having problems with hard drive for months and it finally froze on me so I reformatted and restored from Time Machine.
    Everything is fine now but I just have a feeling I will see the same problems occur because I simply restored to the exact moment from where I was having problems (i.e. Finder crashing/permissions issues/Volumes unmounting/Trash not working/Random error messages/Computer crashing when opening or saving PNG).
    I read that sometime Disk Utility doesn't always pick up on a defect or corrupt hard drive.  The whole time I was having problems Disk Utility said HD was ok.
    Is there software that can do a better job of scanning hard drive for errors and let me know if I need to get HD replaced? 
    Thanks
    Brad

    I agree with both.  Most important though is you backup your data frequently*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    That way if a problem should arise, and it is a result of the hard drive actually dying, you won't accidently kill the hard drive in the process of trying to detect errors.

  • Who makes LCDs for Apple Cinema HD displays?

    Who makes LCD's for Apple 23-inch Cinema HD displays? I do not think that Apple has its own factory to produce LCD's. I think that Apple buys LCD's from other companies and puts them into Apple Cinema HD displays.
    I wonder if either Sharp or NEC makes LCD's for Apple. Does anyone know who makes LCD's for Apple 23-inch Cinema HD displays?

    Im using a G5 Duel 2.5. I have been trying to use a 42" LCD that supports 1388x768 resolution. My problem is that resolution is much to small for may audio application. Do you know of any work arounds to force an increase in resolution on the LCD side? Possibly a direct box or software that will shrink the windows and allow more information on the screen..[email protected]

  • Wire that goes from 90W Power Adapter a1097 to apple cinema hd display

    We lost the wire that goes from the 90W Power Adapter a1097 to the Apple Cinema HD Display. Where could I purchase another one and what is the name of this wire?

    The wire that comes from the power supply is tethered, meaning non-detachable, so I don't see how it can be lost. Or maybe I am misunderstanding. Is it the AC cord that is missing, e.g. the one that goes into the wall? That should be a normal IEC 320 C13, which is commonly available. You don't need the Apple one.
