Connecting a G5 2.0 dual tower to a ViewSonic VA2431wm display

What kind of cable/adapter do I need to make this connection? What is the best resolution I can expect from this combination?
Thanks in advance.

T410 running Windows 7 not detecting HP LP3065 connected with DisplayPort to DVI Dual-Link

I am running Windows 7 on a Thinkpad T410. I have an HP LP3065 monitor connected to it using an Accell DisplayPort to DVI Dual-Link adapter. Windows 7 does not detect the monitor. The NVIDIA drivers are up to date and I have tried powering the Accell adaptor with multiple USB ports. I do not know if there is a problem with the adaptor or if Windows 7 is just unable to see the monitor with this combination.
Could someone please let me know how I can diagnose this? Thank you in advance.

the same DP to DVI Dual-link cable was able to connect to Dell 1280x1024 monitor in my office.
Maybe I should used single link DVI cable.
I will do more testing this evening
(1) to test the connection on difference 1280x1024 monitor this evening at my home
(2) try different cable - something link DP to DVI Single-link cable
Meanwhile, just want to check others experient working with DisplayPort on T410/T510 as I really need to use dual external mornitor with my T410.

Is it possible to connect an external USB 2.0 hard drive to a Thunderbolt Display?

Hello,
Is it possible to connect an external USB 2.0 hard drive to a Thunderbolt Display and back up a MacBook Air to the external hard drive using Time Machine?
I intend to connect my MacBook Air to the Thunderbolt Display using a Thunderbolt cable.
I would also like to connect my printer via USB 2.0 to the Thunderbolt Display. Will this also work?
Effectively using the Thunderbolt Display as a USB hub or docking station.
Regards,
Ben

Ok, thanks.
My 1 cable to ThunderBolt Display objective
MacBook Air -> (via 1 x Thunderbolt cable) -> Thunderbolt Display -> (via 1 x USB cable) -> USB 2.0 external hard drive
I would like to know if this configuration is possible and Time Machine will run correctly.
Your 2 cable suggestion (I think)
MacBook Air -> (via 1 x Thunderbolt cable + 1 x USB cable) -> Thunderbolt Display + USB 2.0 external hard drive
This configuration requires 2 cables to disconnect/reconnect from my MacBook Air.

How do I connect a new Thunderbolt MBP to and old 23" HD Cinema Display ADC port

A question Im sure many have asked but I cant find a straight forward answer.
I simply will be buying a new thunderbolt MBP 15 and NEED to connect it an old 23" Apple Cinema Display that uses the old ADC connector.
Can I do it and if so how? I realise theres a potential under powering issue?
Thanks

Hello Sigh
I am sure there is no way to get your ADC connector display to function with your new Mac Book Pro.
I tried everying I could and gave up and purchased a 24" Apple refurbbished Cinema Display for $599 + tax on 4/27/2011. The Apple part number is FBXXXXL/A, Model A1287.
Gave my year 2002 ADC 22" display to a friend.

Re: How do I connect a new Thunderbolt MBP to and old 23" HD Cinema Display ADC port Jul 8, 2011 4:58 PM (in response to Russy47)
Got my new MBP 2011 today. Hooked it up to my 23" Apple Cinema Display fine, using the Apple DVI to ADC converter > Mini Display port adaptors. I could then mirror display, but only at 1440 x 900 resolution.
My dream is to have it like my old laptop--I mostly leave it shut, and main display is on the Cinema Display. So far, if I close the laptop lid on my new MBP, display shuts off. Also, can't get it to bump up the resolution to 1920.
Sigh.

Difficulty using a projector. I have a MBP 17" and am running 10.6.8. Often I need to make a Powerpoint or other presentation at a client and I want to connect my computer to their projector. Either it won't display on the projector at all. HELP!

Difficulty using a projector. I have a MBP 17" and am running 10.6.8. Often I need to make a Powerpoint or other presentation at a client and I want to connect my computer to their projector. Either it won't display on the projector at all. Once it displayed but the presentation mode was on the big screen and the presentation I wanted to show was on my MBP screen. I have the adapter( white ones) to attached to the projector cables. I am so frsutrated...it looks so silly not to have a computer work during a presentation..
Another problem one the rare occasion that it shows on the screen is that the presentation does show just my desk top. Any ideas?
Thanks !

You often have to turn off Mirroring to be able to set the second "screen"s resolution to something reasonable. When you do, the two screens become an "Exceeded Desktop" joined along one edge, and the Arrange pane in displays prefs can allow you to specify what edge. Initially, it will show a vacant extension of the built-in screen's desktop.
The mouse moves freely across that shared edge, and can allow you to drag the presentation window across to the the projector screen and re-size it to fit.

I recently connected my new MBA to an ACER display using the appropriate Apple hardware to connect to a VGA port. The quality of the ACER display is poor- the image is not clear. How do I achieve the same clarity of picture as my MBA screen?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).
On the basis of the specifications you have given for your set up, mirroring should work.

I have a first generation touch with OS3.1.3. When I turned it on yesterday and tried to connect to Wi-Fi; It says choose a Network, but none display. If I hit "other", nothing shows; it won't even recognize my home network. Help!

Nothing is grayed out. It just doesn't want to find any networks. Usually, a whole list appears; mine is at the top. It tries to connect less than 2 seconds and just stops...nothing appears.

I can't connect my camera to my Mac tower - final cut doesn't recognize the connection.

I have a Canon AH X1 video camera which uses the older 6 pin firewire - I have a 6 pin to 9 pin adapter, but when I connect the camera and go to Capture and Log, it doesn't recognize the camera is connected. Even when I click NOW, it does nothing. My camera output settings have been set by the manual for this type of connection, HD and downgrade OFF, or something like that (don't have the camera in front of me this moment). Any ideas?
Thank you!

Thanks for the quick response! I have a smokin' Mac Tower - 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core, 10GB RAM, Mac OS 10.6.7.
I am running 6 pin firewire using a 9 pin adapter. I have one internal hard drive - 999GB, formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - 914G are free.
Camera Settings - Playback STD - Comp out 1080i/480i
HD Down Conversion - OFF
When I start up Final Cut Pro, it says
External A/V Unable to locate the following external devices:
Apple FireWire NTSC (720 x 480)
Your system configuration may have changed, or your deck/camera may be disconnected or turned off.
Please check your connections and click "Check Again" , or click "Continue" to set external device detection to None.
Then, when I go to Log and Capture, I get:
Unable to initialize video deck. You may still log offline clips or use Capture Now.
Beneath that, "Initializing Device Control..." stays up and frozen.
THEN, if I click OK and Capture NOW, I get a quick flash of a screen that disappears, and nothing happens.
Thanks in advance...

An adapter for connecting a 2.5 GHz dual-core Mac Mini to a VGA CRT monitor?

This question concerns the 2.5 GHz dual-core Mac Mini from Mid 2011 (Intel Core i5-2520M) (Macmini5,2). Is there an adapter for connecting it to a VGA CRT monitor?

Connecting Harmony Hub to Apple Dual Band Router

It appears that the Harmony Hub only connects to 2.4 ghz and my dual Airport Extreme, although it sends out both 5 and 2.4 doesn't work with it. If we can't find a work around one thing we are considering is whether we can add a second (2.4ghz only) router to the network either directly to the modem or as an extension of the network. I'm a little (a lot) over my head on this stuff so would appreciate any suggestions or approaches. thanks

Hi @SP-Michigan ,
I see that you are experiencing issues with setting up the printer over the network on the Comcast Dual Band Router.
I will do my best to help you.
Restore the factory settings on the printer.
Press the OK button on the printer, go to service, then select restore defaults.
Print a configuration page from the printer to make sure the IP and SSID are cleared.
Most likely it is the settings on the router that might need to be changed.
If it is set to 5 GHZ network you may need to change to 2.4 GHZ. (rename the 5ghz or shut it off)
You might also have to set it to WPA personal.
The WPA key setting needs to be on AES to work correctly not TKIP.
Multi casting needs to be turned on.
Firewall on router has to have open ports for printer.
If you have Mac Filtering you need to give printer hardware address from configuration page.
You might need to contact Comcast for further assistance to check those settings.
I have provided a document for setting up the wireless connection or you can follow my different methods provided.
Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or Wired (Ethernet) Network.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!

Wireless connection to internet with mac pro tower and airport extreme base station?

Hi, I have an airport extreme base station and a mac pro tower without a airport card. My internet wireless router is a great distance from my computer so I can't connect the base station directly to the router. I've attached the airport extreme base station to the tower via an ethernet cable, the base station seems to be wirelessly connected to the home network but the browser is showing "not connected".
Please help.
Thanks

Shouldn't the Airport base station be able to connect to it wirelessly?
It might be possible, but the Ethernet ports on the AirPort Extreme would not be enabled, even if it did connect to the Thompson' WiFi signal.
As Tesserax notes, among the Apple routers, only the 802.11n versions of the AirPort Express have the capability to "join" a wireless network with the Ethernet port being enabled.

Cannot connect Airport Express N to Dual Band Time Capsule at N speed

Long time reader, first time poster. I am usually pretty good at solving my problems without posting, but I have been attempting to solve this problem for a while without success, so here it goes.
I have a dual band Time Capsule that I want to run at 5Ghz N and 2.4GHz b/g/n (using the OPTION key when selecting "Radio Mode" to select this option). This runs fine on its own. However, I also want to set-up a new Airport Extreme N to run as an extender for the 5Ghz network, and here is where I have problems.
I have already set-up the 5Ghz network to be under a separate SSID. I have also selected to use Wide Channels, Multicast Rate=High, and Transmit Rate=100%. I have also been sure to make sure that I have selected "Allow this network to be extended" in the TC. As of yet, I have not even attempted any WEP/WAP key security, and the SSID is visible.
When I attempt to connect the AEx as a repeater (using the "Extend a wireless network" option on the AEx) the AEx will not see the 5Ghz network name. It will only allow me to select the 2.4Ghz SSID, even though I have a distinct SSID for the 5Ghz.
Note: both my iMac and my AppleTV can see and connect to the 5Ghz network. I am attempting to set-up the AEx right next to the TC before attempting to see how faraway I can move it.
I have additionally tried to set-up the AEx to repeat the 2.4Ghz network. In b/g/n mode it will repeat, however it only ever seems to get the g speeds. If I set-up the TC to only do N networks (ie one SSID as the 5Ghz N Network and one SSID 2.4Ghz networks) the other clients (the iMac and the AppleTV) can see and connect to each, however the AEx won't connect at all.
What am I doing wrong? I feel that I have been very thorough with my approach. Any help would be very welcome.

Welcome to the discussions!
I don't have a solid answer yet to your issue, but would offer a few comments that might help sort things out.
I'm confused by your statement that you are able to extend the 2.4 GHz network, because the dual band TC does not allow the guest network to be extended. Check AirPort Utility - Manual Setup. Click the Wireless tab. I don't have a dual band TC, but I believe if you click the Options button, you will see more info about extending.
While there is a check box next to "Allow this network to be extended" for the main network, there is not a check box for the "Guest" network. It's not there, or least it's not there in the guide that I'm looking at.
I suspect that your computer was picking up the 2.4 GHz network from the TC, not from your Extreme. To verify this, open AirPort Utility again and click on Manual Setup for the TC. On the summary page, note the MAC address for wireless on the TC. Now, do the same thing for the Extreme.
Use your computer now to check things. Hold down the option key and click on the Airport icon at the top of the screen. The MAC address of the device that you are connected to will be displayed.
Have you tried to move the Extreme to a more remote location? You note that you have the two devices, TC and Extreme very close together. As a test, position the Extreme approximately half way between the TC and the area that you want to extend to and see if you can connect with your computer. Check to see if your computer is connecting to the Extreme or the TC by holding down the option key as above.
You have probably already done this, but check on the setup for the Extreme using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup - Wireless tab. There is a check box either on the Wireless page or the Options page to "Allow wireless clients". This must be checked for wireless clients to be able to connect to the the Extreme.
Post back with your findings and we'll try to figure this out.
