Connecting 2 15" ADC Displays to G5

I already have a 15" ADC display & have another one on the way. I require the use of a seperate display for using music software etc. Can anyone tell me how I can connect the extra display to my G5? Do I need an extra connection?

I have the same problem with a 9800 AGP and 9200 PCI card.
Things start to go wonky.

How to connect an Apple ADC display to a new Mac mini?

Has anyone found a way to connect the brand new mac mini, either HDMI or micro to an older Apple display that has an ADC connector on it? Where to buy - the Apple store does not have their DVI to ADC adapter. Thanks.

I found one here for $139:

HT4614 how do I connect a mac cinema display to a mac mini

Is it possible to connect both an Apple 30" HD cinema display and an Apple 23" cinema display to a Mac Mini and use both as dual monitors?

Yes with the current Mac Mini. Connect the 23" to the Mac Mini's HDMI port with the HDMI to DVI adapter that came with the Mac Mini.
If the 23" display uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)
<http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
you will also need a DVI to ADC adapter.

Connect MacBook with Studio Display Monitor (2000)

I am trying to connect my MacBook with an old Studio Display monitor (made in 2000) that has an ADC 30 Male cord. I have a Mini-DVI to DVI 24 Female Adapter that fits into my laptop. I can't seem to find a DVI 24 Male to ADC 30 Female adapter, which is what appears I need. Is there anything I can do to make this work? Thanks!

Matrox DualHead2Go and ADC Display?

I have an older 17" acrylic display with that big ADC-DVI adapter. I'm currently using my Macbook Pro (ATI X1600 video card, Dual-Link DVI connector) with a surprisingly good HP VGA panel, the same resolution as the Cinema Display.
Has anyone had any luck with using an ADC monitor with the Matrox DualHead2Go? I'd like to connect both of these displays to my MBP, and have heard concerns about compatibility with certain devices and the ADC adapter. Secondly, does anyone know if the DualHead2Go can support mismatched signals, at the same resolution(1x DVI, 1x VGA).
I suspect I need the Digital Version, but it seems that because the signal has to turn into VGA first, it may not work with the ADC display. So third, is the Macbook Pro capable of connecting to the newer DisplayPort version of the DualHead2Go? Assuming someone makes a DVI-Displayport connector.

The idea behind the DualHead2Go is that the two displays be matching displays, so mismatched resolution won't work AFAIK. But you can ask Matrox that question to be sure.
If your MBP has DVI for its output, then it won't be compatible with the DisplayPort version of the the DualHead2Go.

ADC displays, 10.4.11 and MDD

I've been running a dual 1.25 PowerMac G4 with a 23" Cinema display (ADC) for about 8 years now without a single hint of trouble. No room for the 23" ADC monitor on my desk anymore (making room for 30" w/MacPro), so I picked up a 17" ADC Studio display and wall-mounted it (actually, I have two of these).
Trouble is, my MDD G4 refuses to turn on with either 17" ADC Studio display connected. (LED only blinks once, machine never goes on.) The 23" Cinema works perfectly (as always) and a 15" ADC Studio display works, too. Both 17" ADC Studio displays work fine connected to an old G4 Cube, but both prevent my MDD from starting up. I always thought any Apple ADC display would work on the G4 MDD - no? What makes the 17" Studio displays different? Video card is the OEM ATI Radeon 9000 Pro (1 ADC, 1 DVI).
What am I missing? All four displays work, only the combination of MDD and 17" Studio display fails....?

Tried to startup from a great old SCSI drive running OS9, Monitors CDEV set to proper resolution, etc.
Computer's power button LED only lights when pressed, nothing else happens.
It's a hardware issue, simultaneous with two identical 17" ADC Studio Displays? I have an ADC to DVI converter, but what's the point of trying that? So..... why do they both work perfectly when plugged into a (10.3) G4 Cube?! What's the diff between G4 MDD (Radeon 9000 Pro) and G4 Cube's AGP cards (32MB VRAM 1280x1024 ATI RV200? - upgrade from OEM card)....?

Connecting Mini to ADC monitor

Hi. I have an older ADC monitor that I would like to connect to an older Mac Mini (early 2006). I can't seem to find any adapters or connectors that will work. Is it possible with these older models? What do I need to make this connection work? I know I need something that provides power to the monitor. Thanks for any advice or help.

PowerMac G4 400 MHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Gary,
The G4 AGP graphics model is pre-ADC and its motherboard will not support a video card with a native ADC port. The ADC ports on such cards draw their power and USB feed via an extra leg on the card that fits into an extra slot at one end of the AGP slot on the computer motherboard. Your computer does not have this extra slot.
To run an ADC display off your computer, you can run a video card with a DVI output, then use a DVI to ADC adaptor such as this one:
http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0111-DVAD
You can use VGA to ADC adaptors, but they are much more expensive (than a DVI to ADC adaptor plus another video card), and don't give as good a result.
Cheers!

Mac Pro Adc Displays

Hi
Since Friday i have a Mac Pro.
I connect my old Adc Cinema Display, with an ADC-DVI Adapter.
Everything work fine.
I have another 17" ADC Display.
Is it possible to connect two ADC Displays, with two ADC-DVI Adaperts to the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT Graphiccard without a problem?
Thanks
Greetings from Vienna

I'm seeing a lot of this.
Pay attention closely.
If you have an ADC display and you want to connect it to the new Mac Pro, you must buy a different adapter. The ones supplied with the Mac Pro do not connect an ADC display to a DVI Mac Pro. You need to buy one that has a power supply and a USB port. DrBott and Apple make them.

20" ADC Display Totally Black - No Image

I've searched the forums at length, but now need to post and request advice.
- I have a 20 inch acrylic ADC Cinema Display.
- The display was working perfectly until Christmas Day when I opened my G4 to install my new SATA PCI hard drive controller card.
- The computer was (of course) powered down. However, I confess that I forgot to pull the AC cord.
- I powered up the computer enthusiastically after installing the SATA card (along with a 500MB drive) and was devastated that my display was completely black.
- There is no image at all, not even a faint one that you might see with reflected light.
- The power touch-button at the lower-right works perfectly. It fires up the G4, and stays lit without any blinking pattern.
- It is evident that the computer knows the display is connected and thinks it is working fine. When I connect a second monitor to the DVI connector on the Radeon 9000 video card with the 20" Apple display connected to the ADC connector, the computer goes into dual-display mode, but naturally the main display is the ADC which remains completely black.
What I've tried:
- Reset the computer using the little button on the motherboard.
- Reset the pram using the startup key sequence.
- I connected my failed monitor to my son's G4 (which uses an identical 20" display that was purchased at the same time) via his DVI-ADC adapter. My failed monitor still did not work with his known-good ADC output. Therefore, I confirmed that the issue is with the display, and not with my Radeon 9000 card.
- Most importantly, I opened the display and installed a brand new genuine-apple replacement inverter board. The display remains completely black. (I was so sure the new inverter board would get me back in business...)
Is it possible that my stupid mistake of not pulling the AC plug while poking around in there caused all of the CCFL bulbs to blow?
Could it be the other board, called the "main board?"
How about the ADC cable? Is it prone to anything relevant?
Any ideas???
I just cannot bring myself to give up and simply discard this beautiful display, On the other hand, I obviously cannot just keep wasting money on parts that are difficult if not impossible to return.
Help, and thanks for listening.

I would also check all them pins on the ADC connector to see if any are bent or pushed in. The other thing I can possibly see is the main board in the display. If that is the last resort check out Moniserv for price and availability. I really don't think you blew the display by the power cord being still attached to the computer. It's odd that that should happen at the same time as the SATA card addition . The CCFL bulbs don't blow like that especially in pairs, I really think it's that monitor cable. I also am perplexed.

I'm about to buy a 27" i-Mac. I would like to connect my 30" Cinema Display to it as a second monitor. What will I need to do that? Will this slow down the overal performance?

The new iMacs do not come with a MiniDisplayPort, they have Thunderbolt, so unless you are talking about purchasing one of the previous generation iMacs such as this refurbished model in the online Apple store, it won't work. And yes, if you are going to get the full range of video resolutions you will need the Dual-Link version.
For details see the store's web page on the Dual-Link display adapter.

Can I connect a 24" Cinema Display with mini DisplayPort in to HDMI out?

I have a 24" LED Cinema Display that I want to use with a new 15" Retina MacBook Pro I will soon be purchasing. Using cable adaptors, would it be possible use the new Macbook Pro's HDMI port to connect to this Cinema Display? I understand that this does not work with the newer Thunderbolt displays because Thunderbolt only adapts in one direction, but since this is an older Mini Displayport monitor would it work? My goal is to keep both Thunderbolt ports available for storage I/O untill Apple releases an update to the Thunderbolt display later this or next year. Thanks for your advice!

Yes, in this scenario, I'd connect the display to one of the Thunderbolt ports and use a USB hub for additional I/O. Here's my current I/O needs:
1) esata (with port multiplication)
2) gigabit ethernet
3) firewire 800
4) USB keyboard
5) 3-port USB hub (iOS, bluetooth charger, misc USB2 or 3)
6) monitor
My current plan is to use
1) thunderbolt 1 - display
2) thunderbolt 2 - firewire 800
3) USB3 1 - esata
4) USB3 2 - USB3 hub - gigbit ethernet and all other USB devices
Does this seem like a resaonable set-up in terms of maxing I/O bandwidth? My main concern is if the USB2 devices on the USB3 hub will throttledown my gigabit ethernet speeds.
Thanks for your advice!
