Dell U2311H and Powermac G5

Alright folks, I just scored a **** of a deal on Craigslist. I got a nearly new Dell U2311H 23" IPS display for 100 bucks. I've discovered a little problem though. For some reason the VGA connection works perfectly fine with a VGA to DVI adapter on the video card but when I try to run straight DVI from the monitor to the G5 there is no signal. The monitor just goes right into sleep mode. Is there anything special I have to do to get the G5 to recognize the monitor or vice versa?

Strange that it has only a Digital Visual Interface connectors (DVI-D) connection & the Mac has DVI-I, which should support both DVI-D & DVD-A, but who knows?
Might be my poor vision, but I always get a better display using VGA, or DVI->VGA connection, even on my Dell 24" LCD.
VGA sometimes has a greater range & higher Resolutions available than DVI...
Support for digital resolutions up to 1920 by 1200 pixels
Support for analog resolutions up to 1600 by 1200 pixels
ADC and DVI connectors; DVI to VGA adapter included
Dual display support for extended desktop and video mirroring modes
Support for up to two Apple flat panel displays(8)

I have an old dell desktop and an older ipod with my itunes library....the dell desktop is not functioning as well and have not been able to sync a newer ipod to the library .....i now have a newer Macbook air....i would like to put my library on my Air i tunes....when i attached the ipod to the air to try to sync the ipod library onto the air itunes i received a message that said i was synced with another library and that if i wanted to sync with this library i would need to "erase and sync" ....got spooked as i dont want to lose the library/ or the music....question ----will this procedure put my existing library (which is all on my older ipod) onto my Macbook air itunes?...any help would be greatly appreciated...thank you in advance...

No, it will sync the ipod to the content of the MBA which presumably has nothing on it (= erasing content of iPod and replacing it with nothing).

do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in

Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv?

Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv? I have a sony bravia 600 series and 700 series and a home theatre( sony 7100 series)

The only way to stream directly to your TV would be if it is an AirPlay-enabled device.
There are many AirPlay-enabled devices but I am not familiar with Sony's products. If yours do not specifically indicate AirPlay capability, then you need an AirPlay-enabled device such as an AppleTV connected to your Sony TV or Sony AVR.

See if this helps .... Reset the iPad.
Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider bar - let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up. Then check your emails.

I need to switch my iPod touch, 4S generation, computers. I use Dell, I origanally had it synched on a d=Dell laptop, but am not allowed to do so on that anymore. I am on a Dell PC, and want to change it over to this computer. How do I do that?

Plug it in and sync it.
It will erase the ipod content and replace with the content from the new computer so make sure that you have copied everything form the old computer, or your backup copy of the old computer, to your new one first.

Can anyone explain why my Dell laptop and my iphone can "see" a server in Luton when using a wireless broadband (I get 20 Mbps download speed) but my ipad can not see this server and finds one in Milton Keynes which gives me 0.37 download speed.

Mac pro (late 2013), Dell UP2414Q and windows8.1 bootcamp

I bought mac pro (late 2013) and Dell UP2414Q.
Monitor is set on DP1.2 and works normally in OS X. I get 4K@60Hz, I can switch to lower resolutions like 1920x1080 and it works.
Then I Installed windwos 8.1 which I need for some testing and I have aproblem here:
When DP 1.2 is enabled, and I switch to 1920x1080 resolution, I get 2 pictures on screen squeezed together - totally useless and I can't work on that.
If I disable DP 1.2 and revert on monitor to DP 1.1 it works normally. But I switch to 4K with only DP1.1 enabled I can get only 30Hz out.
As it seems under OS X I can use any resolution with DP 1.2 enabled, but not in windows 8.1 via bootcamp.
I would really really love to get this working, I tried next things, but nothing worked:
-update bootcamp support
-update AMD gpu drivers from their web page
I already wrote on Dell forum and I got redirected here on apple forums.

which model rMBP 13" or rMBP 15"
the 13 will support it with the latest intel drivers.
the 15 will support it with the latest nvidia drivers.
i have both models and both are working correctly.

I own an iPad 2. I run my business on Dell PC and Small Business Server. I use Logmein Hamachi to access between PCs. I have installed Logmein on my IPad. Need help connecting to my businesss PCs....

I own an iPad2 and run my business on Dell PCs and Small Business Server. I use Logmein Hamachi to gain access between PCs. I have downloaded Logmein to my IPad 2 and want to access my PCs. Would appreciate any help with this process.

On the Iphone or Ipad you have 2 choices, both of which do the same thing.
1. Use Safari to log onto Logmein website, where your PCs r listed. Choose which one u want & log onto it.
2. Use Logmein Ignition w 1time purchase fee & it semi automates the process.

I have a 5 year old Dell PC and purchased the Airport Express last year. After one of the iphone 4s updates I lost the contact and cannot reestablish. I have even tried to hard wire from my router to the airport express and I cannot connect.

I have a 5 year old Dell PC and purchased Airport Express last year. I used my iphone 4s to connect and it has been working until recently I lost connection after one of the iphone updates. I cannot make contact with the unit. I have even used an ethernet cable that I hooked to my router and still won't work. I cantinually get this message from Airport Utility. An error has occurred and I can not do anything else.

If you have the AirPort Express setup in Bridge Mode, try changing the Connection Sharing setting to "Share a public IP address"
AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
Update
You will probably get a message about a Double NAT error. Click to "ignore"
This setting might allow mutliple devices to connect and may not. It's worth a try...I have about a 60-70% success rate at hotels with this setting.
Unfortunately, as you note....hotels have become a lot smarter about connections to their network. At some point, they probably will not even allow another router to connect at all.

Dell Backup and Recovery - Factory Recovery fails, need advice.

Back story:
I have tried this three times on three separate laptops, with poor results. Windows 7 on two of them and 8.1 one one, on all three the recovery partition is corrupt.I first boot it off of a live disk and backup any desired files. Then I boot, press F8, choose "Repair your computer" and discover that "Dell Factory Image Restore" is not one of the available options... so I boot the pc off of a different live disk and remove a bunch of "viruses", then I boot it off of the internal harddrive.In Windows I find that "Dell Backup and Recovery" may or may not be on the pc. It may or may not have ever been run before. If it is absent I download it and install it. When I run DBaR it tells me it needs to update, don't power off or disconnect the machine from the internet, etc. I then wait HOURS for this part to complete. When done it...

Windows 8.1 Dell Backup and Recovery exe doesn't work

I purchased dell Inspiron 3542, initially when i click on Dell backup and recovery then it was moving to create backup page. I install some software and transfer some data in my laptop, after this dell backup and recovery is not working. Not able to create backup in usb.
When i click on dell backup and recovery then it ask me for permission when i click on yes, nothing happen.

Uninstall it. Reboot. Then install. Reboot.
All of this should be done as Run as Administrator or it will fail.

Thanks,

You don't need to read all 15,000+ messages. The next time you can use the Search Discussions feature (upper right corner) to narrow the scope of messages specific to your question. Many folks can answer their own questions without the need for repeating what's already been asked.
