Can I change graphic-card?

I have just bought the iBook G4 and thought I could connect it to my Apple Cinema Display 20-inch.
This was impossible because my iBook has a mini-VGA port while the Monitor is DVI.
Anybody who knows if it´s possible to change to the same card that is in the 12" Powerbook?
(the one with the DVI-mini port)
Will be thankful to any replys.

I'm relatively sure that you can't change the card w/o some major warranty voiding surgery and even if you could it might not work. As for the adapter mentioned above. It's described on the site as "Connects VGA/SVGA Monitor to DVI Card on Computer" which is not what you have. I'm don't know for sure, but I don't think you can drive the DVI from the current iBook w/ just an adapter unless the monitor or adapter (or of course the graphic card) has a signal processor for VGA to DVI and since you're limited to the mini-VGA port I think you need to buy a VGA>DVI converter box.
I'd like to know what you come up with.
Good Luck

There are a lot of things you can upgrade inside a laptop sadly the graphics processor isn't one of them because it's integrated into the mainboard.

Can i change my ATI 3200 into NVIDIA geforce go series?
Please help

Unfortunately graphic card exchange is not possible.
Every notebook has specific hardware platform and each of them is optimized to work properly (BIOS, cooling system and so on).
So this is definitely not possible.

Changed graphics cards, now doesn't detect monitors

*I changed graphics cards on a Mac Pro and now its not detecting the monitors despite booting OSX10.5!*
Mac Pro
2 Monitors
Replacing radeon card with a geforce 7300gt
Unplugged everything
replaced card
Plugged everything back in, power last.
Powered on
Monitors are blank (cannot detect signal, autocycling between analog/dvi searching for one)
I've tried plugging just one monitor in and just a mouse/keyboard.
I've tried reseating the card.
I've tried plugging the card into 16x slot #2.
*Whats so infuriating about this is the computer actual BOOTS!* The keyboard dvd eject button responds, and I can explore the contents of this Mac Pros hard drive through the local network.
Any ideas?
What am I doing wrong! ><

What is the video card you are installing? Is this an ATI 3870? If so did you read the installation instructions before installing? You were to install the software drivers before installing the card.
Also check that you got the Mac version of this card.

HT204053 how can I change credit card linked to account

how can I change credit card information?

On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your iPhone then you could try tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6+) and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

Changing Graphics Card Settings

Hi there
I have a 24 inch iMac and when I run Maya (the 3d software) the timeline does not show up at the bottom of the screen.
It works fine on my old G4 so what is the problem here?
I figure I need to change graphics card options somewhere but have no idea where to find them.
Please help!
THANKS

I use maya alot, the timeline will be nothing to do with your graphics, if it was the nothing would show up, just hold space to bring up your hotbox go to display / UI elements and make sure time slider is ticked on, if all else fails just trash your prefences and relaunch maya, im going to presume your not a professional maya user? just assuming since your using a iMac for it which isn't the best chose, also what version of maya do you have? learning edition, 7, 8 or older?

HOW CAN I CHANGE SIM CARD TO NANO CARD?

HOW CAN I CHANGE SIM CARD TO NANO CARD?

Just contact your network provider & they will issue you with a nano sim card & transfer your phone number over to it.
I did this with Vodafone (UK) on my current sim only plan and the new nano sim card was live with my original number within 20 minutes of leaving the shop.

I'm sorry, but you can only replace the hard drive and the RAM. The rest of the hardware is soldered onto the logic board, so it's not possible to replace it

Where is the option where you can change graphics cards?

I got a new Macbook pro yesterday for $1,499.
Well I wanted to switch the graphics card so I went into System Preferences>Energy Saver.
The thing is, I thought it was in the Energy Saver option, but there is nothing about the Graphics cards.
How can I change the graphics card for my Macbook Pro?

If your MacBook Pro is one of the models with a dual graphics card, the option to switch between them is at the top of the Energy Saver window: Graphics: • Better battery life, or • Higher performance. The MacBook Pro models with dual graphics cards are: 15" (2.66 and 2.8 GHz) and 17" (2.8 GHz). The 13" and 15" (2.53 GHz) MacBook Pro models have a single graphics card - for these models you will not see the Graphics option in the Energy Saver window. Which model do you have?

LR screwed up after changing graphics card?

After successfully working with LR since version 4 over a long period with thousands of photos I now have a strange problem which I can´t find a solution for on my own.
What´s wrong?
-LR doesn´t show any images, neither thumbnails in import mode nor full images or thumbnails in development view
-There is only a grey area where the photo should be.
-Old photos or newly imported pics all have the same problem.
-switching between files causes loading progress with plausible duration, but the image does not appear
-Histogramm, Metadata etc. are shown correctly, but no image nowhere
-Photoshop/Camera RAW on the same computer with the very same files work without any problem
What did I try to fix it?
-renamed the catalog file and created a new one. No luck. Same effect while importing and after that in the development view only grey again...
-renamed the previews, no luck
-renamed the agprefs file to start with fresh settings which seemed to work because I had to set the user language and so on. But - no impact on the problem.
-searched the faq and several boards, discussions, Google. No answer. Only one user with the same problem, he also got no answer...
What I may have done to get into that kind of trouble:
-I changed my graphics card some time ago. I had a NVIDIA 9800 GT before and changed it to a NVIDIA 640GT.
-I took every OS update, NVIDIA driver update and Adobe CC/LR Update and did not use LR after a couple of such changes.
Some facts about my system:
-Win8, Core i7 920, 6GB RAM, SSD/HD with enough space
-LR 5.3 latest update
Please help. Thanks in advance.

I would first suspect the video driver. Video drivers can cause weird problems, sometimes affecting only one program.
Things I would do, many of which you may well already have done:
First off, set a system restore point, so you can recover what you do.
Check the video driver, and make sure it's the right one.
Try earlier versions of the driver. The NVIDIA 640GT is not new, and may work better on older drivers. My GTX 550 doesn't like the current drivers, and is significantly faster with earlier ones. You can also go into Device Manager and roll back the driver to previous versions. I don't update video drivers unless there's a reason: to fix a problem, say. New NVIDIA drivers are usually only to support new hardware.
Try removing the driver (in Device Manager, use Uninstall for the video card). That makes Windows default to a basic VGA driver, and then get Windows to update the driver (in device manager, update driver). That will get what Microsoft reckon is the latest driver, which is not generally what NVIDIA think is latest, but may be more stable.
If you've still got the old card, try that (just to check whether it is a video card issue).
Uninstall and reinstall LR.
I know that's the obvious stuff, which you've probably done.
PS - as ssprengel says, check the monitor profile. Definitely the first thing to do!

Loss of visual display wen changing graphics card

I want to change my graphic card on my dual 500 G4 (currently running on 10.4.11), however I am concerned that once the old card is out I will loose all visual display and therefore will not be abe to follow on-screen instructions when installing the new Driver. Is this a real problem? if so, how do I carry out this procedure?

I have installed cards whose instructions called for installing the new drivers before installing the new card. If your new card falls into that category, no problem.
If drivers need to be installed AFTER the new card is in place, I don't think there will be a problem either. OSX has pre-installed drivers for most cards already; they aren;t the newest but are usually functional. Even without drivers, most cards allow the pass-through of 2D video. Example: new drivers no longer provide graphics acceleration under OS9 any more, but the computer has usable 2D video in OS9. I think you will have no trouble with on-screen assistance.
For what its worth, this is the forum for the very late PowerMac G4s, the "Mirrored Drive Doors" model and the FireWire800. The older G4s get a separate forum here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=113
You can get help either place, though. The forum software doesn't make it obvious that the other forum is for the early models,

Change graphic card

Hello everybody,
I have an Intel-based iMac.
Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8335 @ 2.93 GHz 2.93 GHz
RAM : 4.00 Go
Graphic Card : NVIDIA GeForce GT 120
I'd like to know if it's possible to change my graphic card ? Which ones are compatible ? It's especially to play video game in a better resolution.
Thanks !

I'd like to know if it's possible to change my graphic card ?
The only user upgradeable part in an iMac is the RAM, some iMac's can have the HD replaced by end users and no iMacs can have either the graphics card or CPU upgraded.

Change graphic card on brand new HP DV6 6120SE

Can i change the graphic card on my hp pavilion dv6-6120se, product no.: QF456EA..?
Currently it is amd hd 6490m, and i would like to replace it with amd hd 6770m, since both are offered by hp as options, i was wondering if there is any chance of changing the gpu?....

Hi,
Increase RAM may help a bit but not much because games require GPU, VRAM
I don't know the price but I believe would be more expensive than a new computer including labor/labour cost. I myself would charge $400 for this work plus parts.
Regards,
BH
