Can't connect Powermac G5 to samsung syncmaster S22A300B

Hi there,
I bought a Powermac G5 (april,2005) and a Samsung syncmaster S22A300B screen. When i connect the mac to the screen with a VGA cable all i get is a black screen, but somehow it recognizes that it is connected. When I connect the mac to the TV everything works just fine. Any idea what i can do?
Thanks in advane

Thanks.
It indeed pretty much looks like the Samsung screen is somewhat broken. Guess I have to bring it back to the store and ask for a new one.

    What is it you're trying to do. That will make it easier to tell you.
    For the most part. There are things you can do and not do.

  • Connecting MBP 2009 to Samsung syncmaster F2080

    Hi Guys,
    I have a 2009 MBP 13" that I want to connect to a Samsung Syncmaster F2080.
    Do I need a mini display port to DVI or something else?
    Thanks

    Another possibility might have something to do with video DRM in the form of HDCP. Your new Mac supports HDCP. Your TV may not since it pre-dates HDMI. The Mac may be seeing a TV (from the TV's EDID) and trying to perform an HDCP handshake, which the TV may be incapable of performing. If that is what's happening, your options for overcoming the issue narrow rapidly.

  • Can't connect macbook pro to samsung ue46d8005?

    Hi,
    I just received my new Macbook Pro 13" since my old MBP from 2010 was stolen.
    I'm trying to connect it with my new led-tv Samsung ue46d8005.
    I have a mini-display to hdmi adapter and from there a hdmi cable hooked up to the tv. But no matter how I do the tv or the MBP doesn't recognize each other. I have scrolled through the entire internet for a solution and tried several tips from people.
    The adapter and hdmi cable worked just fine with my old MBP and panasonic tv so there's nothing wrong with it.
    I've tried all the four different HDMI inputs.
    I've tried to rename the "label" of the HDMI to PC/DVI.
    I've tried to shut down the tv and MBP, and then start them up at the same time.
    But there's no luck with anything!
    What I've learned from googling around is that Samsung and Macs seem to have problem connecting with each other.
    Today I took my computer and the adapter to my friend's house. There we connected it to his Sharp lcd and it worked just fine! But it just won't work with my samsung tv!
    But please, is there anyone out there who can help me?

    The mirror setting appears in the 'Arrangement' tab in the Displays preference pane once the two devices are communicating, so the Samsung support person was not being particularly helpful.  Besides, I would recommend against using mirroring as it forces the TV to operate at the resolution of the MBP and not at it's native resolution thereby compromising image quality.  Extended desktop mode with an external display ensures that the TV will use its full native resolution of 1080p (or 1920x1080) and also gives you the flexibility of having two screens with different applications visible on each.
    Interesting that you've found that it doesn't work with a second Samsung TV!  I guess that means suspicion now falls on the MBP.  Like I said earlier, I'm not aware of any incompatibility and mine worked first time!!!  I'm busy at the mo' but I'll have a bit of an investigation later and see if I can turn anything up and get back to you.
    By the way, did you try resetting the PRAM and the SMC?  It's especially worth a try now that suspicion lies with the MBP.

  • Can i connect powermac G4 to LCD tv?

    Is it possible to connect my Power Mac G4 (Quicksilver 2002) to a samsung LCD tv?
    will the DVI to Video adaptor work? if this connector is only for the G5, is there any other way to do it? i would like to use my G4 for presentations, dvd playback etc.
    thx

    i would connect an ADC to DVI adaptor and then a DVI to HDMI adaptor to go on the tv, right?
    Basically, Yes. I would use the ADC to DVI adapter, and buy a DVI/HDMI cable.

  • Connecting a macbook to a samsung syncmaster T220HD

    Hi!
    If you bought the late 2008 MacBook you need either a MiniDisplayport to VGA or MiniDisplayport to DVI adaptor.

  • 5 out of 6 devices can't connect to Internet

    Just to preface,  this was all working hours ago.
    airport express,  Mac book pro, ipad, boxee box and Western digital live Nas all can't connect to internet.
    my Samsung Galaxy s3 has no problems however.
    normally if I can't get an ip address I would just say the Internet is down from the isp. But because I've got one device where it's working fine gives me cause to think otherwise.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    You want the device that is directly connected to the modem to furnish the PPPoE service.
    This is sounding like you had your Mac connected directly to your modem at one time, so in that type of setup, the PPPoE connection on the Mac would have been correct.
    But, since you have added the Time Capsule....and it is now the device that is directly connected to the modem.... the Time Capsule must be configured to provide the PPPoE connection service, not your Mac.
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Your settings should look like this:
    Connect Using = PPPoE   
    Account Name = Your user name with your ISP
    Password = Your password with the ISP
    Verify Password
    Service Name.....leave this area completely blank
    Connection = Always On
    Disconnect if Idle = Never
    Update to save settings and the TC will restart
    Either delete the PPPoE connection on your Mac, or if  you want to retain it in case you need to connect your Mac directly to the modem at some point in the future, make that connection inactive.
    If you are connecting an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC to your Mac, you want the Ethernet connection to be active on your Mac. This should happen automatically if the PPPoE connection is inactive or has been deleted.
    Be sure to power cycle the entire network at this point. Power all devices down, or der is not important.
    Wait a moment or two, then start the modem and let it urn for a moment by itself
    Start the TC and wait for a green light
    Then start each device one at a time until the network is back up

  • Connecting a Samsung Syncmaster 205 BW widescreen to a Powerbook G4 alumini

    synchronizing a Samsung widescreen TFT BW 205 with a Powerbook G4

    I recently bought a Samsung Syncmaster BW 205 (widescreen) to work on my Powerbook G4. Problem is I can not get it right (my apple screen is 1280x840 and the Samsung is 1650x1080 (or something like that). The Powerbook recognizes the Syncmaster but somehow it does not match. How do I solve this problem?
    Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    Possibly your PowerBook is running in mirror mode. This means both screens will be set to 1280 x 854. Try turning mirror mode off in Display Preferences and see if that helps.

  • Improving screen image on Samsung Syncmaster Monitor connected to MBP

    I struggled to remove the fuzziness from the picture displayed on my Samsung Syncmaster XL2270HD Monitor from my 2010 MacBook Pro. They are connected using an iWires DVI to HDMI cable. Then I found a contribution from ROLNAS2 from 2 years ago and a variant of the suggested solution works well for me:
    On the Samsung monitor control hit MENU and then select:
    Input > Edit Name > HDMI and set the detail to HDMI and DVI PC.
    Thanks ROLNAS2.

    Just a thought,
    Come to think of it, I've seen this issue when a display isn't getting enough power from the graphics card. - Does your Apple display work if as a single monitor attached to the Mac Pro?
    If the screen is black, it could also mean that there is no supported resolution for the monitor provided by your video card, this could also explain why your Mac still registers a connected display. - Have you tried different resolutions and/or bit rates.
    Regards,
    Peter.

  • Cannot get my Samsung SyncMaster S27B370 to connect to my Mid 2011 iMac 27

    Cannot get my Samsung SyncMaster S27B370 to connect to my Mid 2011 iMac 27 inch with HDMI to thunderbolt port adapter but works like a charm in Windows 7 when I bootcamp over to it. Any ideas? The cable is working properly as shown by the fact that Windows 7 uses both monitors perfectly. I am using Mac OS X Mountain Lion and have already done the option + cmd + p + r boot reset to no avail. It does not find the second monitor at all as in it doesn't even show up in the display preference pane.

    Arguably, they're both right.
    Changing your router changes everything, so your best course of action is to research the respective printer's documentation and determine how to reset them to factory default condition. Then, add them again using System Preferences > Print & Scan.
    For that, I recommend you first "reset the printing system" according to these instructions: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system. Its instructions for Lion are identical to those for Mountain Lion.
    As the article states, it will remove all your existing printers, leaving the Mac's printing system in a similar "factory default" condition ready for you to create a new print queue for each printer, which you should probably do.
    Apple's printing support documents contain a great deal of redundancy, but this one may be a good place to start: OS X Mountain Lion: Set up a printer to print wirelessly

  • I installed an airport card in my powermac g4, how do I connect to my router (not an airport base.) How can I connect to my router?

    I have a powermac g4 quicksilver in which I have installed a normal airport wireless card in the dedicated slot. How can I connect to my router? It is not an apple airbase station but does it need to be? How can I connect to my router?

    What encryption is the Rouer using? If WPA2 you likely can't.
    Go to System Preferences
    Click Network
    Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
    What shows for Routers there? Or is Join Other Network availabe in 10.3.x?

    it seems that they will pair but as soon as the mac has connected it automatically dissconnects

    The USB port on the Time Capsule is used only to connect a hard drive.
    Connect your Mac using an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule if you do not want to use wireless.

  • Mini Display Port to VGA cable can't detect Samsung SyncMaster 2693HM.

    Just conected a Samsung SyncMaster 2693 to my Mac Mini (2.5 CPU mid 2011) with an Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor it only sees the monitor as a VGA display and is limited to 1920x1081. I was using the same adaptor with an older Mac Mini (mid 2009) and had no problems getting the full 1920x1200 resolution. I've resarted and reinserted the cables, with no joy. Any ideas?

    Looking into my problem more deeply it seems that the adaptor is a fault
    As stated by BSteely @ this thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/9447077#9447077 it seems that the 1600 x 1200 @ 85Hz is most likely beyond the capabilities of the DAC onboard the adaptor.
    Apple does make reference to this slightly in this FAQ http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3382 stating "The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. VGA displays that use higher refresh rates (such as 85 Hz) at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or greater may not generate video properly until you lower the refresh rate."
    Begin Rant: "May" As far as my understanding goes the chip inside this adaptor is either designed and the firmware is progamed to support 1600 x 1200 at 85 Hz or it is not. No "May" about it.
    The solution is as simple a providing a list of resolutions and refresh rates supported by the adaptor in some sort of "Technical Specifications" not simply the description provided by the overview in the apple store which makes no mention of any limitation other that the requirement of a display port.
