Dual Core Power PC G5 and the ADC 17" Clear Display

Anyone know of any incompatibilities between the two? I am using the Apple DVI to ADC Adaptor and when I turn it on I see nothing on the display. Ideas anyone? The display is the 17" Clear see through CRT Display.

The Apple and Dr. Botts DVI to ADC adapters do not provide the RGB analog signals needed for a CRT monitor. The Gefen adapter
<http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1203> does provide these signals but its power supply is not designed for the extra power a CRT display needs. See <http://www.applefritter.com/node/4008>
In the link, one person was using the Gefen adapter with a CRT, but the power supply was getting VERY hot. Buying the Gefen adapter and a new, bigger, power supply, would be the easiest way to get things to work. The only cable cutting would be moving the cable from the Gefen power supply to the new power supply. That would just be a two wire cable. If you can find the matching plug for the Gefen power supply, you wouldn't have to use the Gefen power cable, but make your own, which is probably better because Gefen might be using wires too small for the extra current.

  • G5 Powermac Dual Core Power Supply Issue

    My G5 Dual Core 2.3 GHz was working fine till this morning when at about 6:00 AM the power supply started making a bunch of noise. Luckily I was at home not at work so I pulled the plug...waited a while, powered on again, saw the apple logo and decided to turn it off till I get it fixed.
    This is the third G5 I have with power supply issues. The first one was a dual processor that hums when doing a lot of networking or when attaching USB flash drives...so apparently there was a extension program on that one. I sold that and switched to the dual core machine, then both of the dual cores had power supply issues. One got replaced under Apple Care. The 3rd one just had the issue happen.
    Anybody having bad luck with these? My old G4 DP 1.42 has been running almost flawlessly since it came out (only replaced the main fan for a more powerful and quieter unit).
    Have the power supplies for the Dual Core G5 machines been redesigned or should I expect my new one to fail again?

    Hi Jack,
    I'm sorry. You did note that with your first G5 you knew of the extension program. Too early in the day for me I guess. Personally I haven't sensed from the G5 discussions that Power Supplies have been a major continuing issue, but there certainly have been a lot reported. Usually it's Logic Boards that keep getting fried for one reason or another. Fortunately it doesn't seem to be the most expensive thing to replace, especially if you buy a used one. Maybe someone will chime in who is more observant then I am this morning.
    For what it's worth I still have the first Mac I ever bought which is a PM8500. It still runs fine whenever I pull it out from it's dusty storage. By contrast this is my third G5.
    Edit: Up early and fasting for a test... I just caught your reference to 3 years. That time frame I have seen a lot here, usually 3 years plus a few months, just out of Applecare. Apparently for G5s thats like 90 in Mac years.

  • I am lookinat buying an Aspire Netbook with 4 gig ram, dual core amd c70 processor and windows 8, wi

    am looking at buying an Aspire Netbook with 4 gig ram, dual core amd c70 processor and windows 8, will it run my cs5 suite

    Mark,
    Adobe generally requires a minimum CPU clock speed of 2.0 GHz or higher in order to run CS5 or higher. Unfortunately, the AMD C70 CPU in that netbook operates at only 1.0 GHz, which is far below Adobe's minimum requirement. In addition, even if it did run Premiere Pro CS5, performance will be excruciatingly slow, not only due to the extremely weak CPU, but also due to the complete lack of a discrete GPU with CUDA capability. As such, that system, if it even runs Premiere Pro CS5 at all, would be at least 80 to 100 times slower (in terms of the Relative Performance Index (RPI) in Bill Gehrke's and Hard Millaard's PPBM5 tests) than even a mediocre quad-core desktop PC, let alone a fast overclocked i7 monster PC.

  • The Power Query ribbon and the Power Pivot ribbon are gone !

    Hello,
    I created in Excel 2013, using Power Query, two large tables (more than 4 000 000 rows) according this principle: << However,
    the query pane that shows up on the side while data is loading lets you disable "load to worksheet". The data will continue to download. Once the download is done, you can click on "Load to Data Model" which will then get the data into
    the underlying xVelocity/data model.>>
    I built two calculated columns in order to create PRimary and Foreign keys for relations.
    I saved the xlsx file several times
    I Closed the xlsx file
    I reopened the xlsx file but, bad news, the
    Power Query ribbon and the Power Pivot ribbon are gone !
    I can check the the data connections are still there.
    What happened? What did I miss ?
    Thanks for your help
    Error message when I refresh connections :

    When I restart the computer, Power
    Query and Power
    Pivot ribbons come back. But if I enter a
    formula, they go away again.
    What could be the solution?

  • I cannot use any buttons on the display panel. The power is on and the display is lit up

    All-In-One Printer L7780  Windows 7 64-bit
    I cannot use any buttons on the display. The power is ON and the display is lit up. I have pulled the plug and waited a while and plugged it back in (several times over two days) but nothing changes.
    The diagnostics from the computer don't help. I can see the ink level and I can print a test page but the scanner does not work.
    This Printer just works when it wants to. The wireless connection only worked once in a while.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!  Benno Wallé

  • When I click on an active link from another application, it opens the firefox application, but won't open open the page - it just opens Firefox or takes me to Firefox. No new tab or window is opened and the link is not displayed.

    Firefox sent an email to me to confirm that I had asked the above question. The email had a link to click. When I clicked it from Firefox, nothing happened. Then I opened IE, signed into Comcast, opened the email, clicked the link, and it brought me here.

  • I do not manage to find the function to change a letter into exposing. I have MUSE DC 2014.2 and the menu does not display this possibility. I tried to import it IN design but that does not function either?

    I'm not clear on exactly what it is you're asking, but if you're referring to changing opacity, you can change the opacity setting for the States of a menu item via the States panel and Control Strip.

  • System crashes when attempting to install 10.6.  Keeps asking to restart.  Computer is a Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor and 2 GB Memory.

    I have tried to install 10.6 and when install is complete it says restart.  The computer restarts but keeps coming to a gray screen with a small black box that says to restart.  The processor is 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon with 2 GB of memory.  This should be more than adequate.  Any ideas?  Has anyone encountered this before?  I had to restore 10.5 from Time Machine.

    Your sig line says iMac, but TMK no iMacs were ever made with 2x2.66 GHz processors. Is this a Mac Pro you are installing on? Are you using a retail Snow Leopaard DVD?

  • A suggestion for those with freezing dual-core 2.3 G5s (and maybe others)

    I'm on my second dual-core 2.3 that's showing the random instability that many others are describing on the boards. To summarize:
    - The kernel panic screen usually (but not always) appears.
    - Within 10-20 seconds of the crash, fans come on full bore.
    - Nothing of substance is recorded in the logs (at least not that I've found).
    - Problem occurs with stock RAM as well as 3rd party modules.
    - Crashes usually occur soon after a period of steady processor activity (playing large QuickTime movies, transferring files over the network, etc.)
    - Problem exists under both 10.4.3 and 10.4.4.
    - Apple's hardware test reports everything's fine.
    - I've never been able to keep the machines up for longer than 3 days.
    So I decided to give something a try that I happened to see in one of the many posts on the topic. In the Energy Saver pane, I've set Processor Performance from Automatic to Highest. And guess what? I've been doing all the same stuff I've always done, and haven't crashed for 6 days!
    Just curious if others with similar symptoms have success with this...
    Troy

    Troy:
    I've been using my PM dual core 2.3 GHz hard since November with nary a problem. I usually keep the Energy option at Automatic, unless I'm going to be running heavy-CPU database processes, when I set the CPU to Highest.
    And I do watch movies fairly often on the 2.3.
    I always use Software Update for OS and Security updates. I've been updating my Macs for years this way, and haven't seen a kernel panic since OS X 1.0. Permissions repair is always run before and after updates.
    Cocktail and DiskWarrior are run periodically for maintenance. I probably run Cocktail every week or so, and DiskWarrior every few weeks just as preventive measures.
    Knock on wood, this has been a very stable computer.

  • New dual core for running osx and windows-need autocad!

    considering a new desktop. I own a powerbook g4
    Machine Model: PowerBook5,6
    CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.2)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 1.5 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
    Memory: 512 MB
    Bus Speed: 167 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.9.1f3
    and use mostly for Adobe Creative suite and Powercadd 7.
    I then own a Dell Inspiron with Windows XP to run Autocad.(which I dislike PC)I would rather use a mac and wonder if the new dual core is something I should consider or is it not worth the pain?

    You have to use the crossgrade/update 7.2 for Logic Pro to work on an Intel Mac.
    It is now available and people have ordered it but I don't think anyone has received their upgrades as yet.
    It has been pointed out both by Apple and in numerous other places that Logic Pro will not run under Rosetta so unless you have 7.2 it aint gonna be working......
    If you DO have 7.2 already, then please tell us more.....

  • Power MAC G4 and the AccuVision Monitor

    My brother recently died, and I inherited his Power Mac G4 -- I do not know the OS -- with an AccuVision 920 Monitor and other peripherals. My brother was a musical genius, and I know that on his Power Mac G4 is important legancy information about him and particularly his work.
    I can't find information about how to power up the desktop as a whole, and I can't figure out how to properly set the power source for the monitor: to the CPU itself or to my wall outlet. Your careful consideration and advise to this matter is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Dunloe-
    The cable that you referenced is a power cable, not unlike that which connects the computer to the wall recep or power strip.
    You stated that you want to connect the monitor to the computer. Apple monitors use a cable similar to that which you referenced, to connect to the power on the back of the computer tower. I tried to search the monitor as described, but found nothing for AccuVision, except for contact lenses.
    The monitor should have 2 cords- 1 for power, and 1 to connect to the graphics port on the back of the computer. Most non-Apple monitors plug directly to electrical outlets, rather than electrical outlet on the back of the computer tower.
    It would be helpful to know the maker of the monitor, and the model of the computer. The computer should have a label on the back with a model name/number.
    As far as connecting the computer, the computer can be powered up by plugging in the power cord, and pressing the power button. To interface with the computer, you need the monitor, the keyboard, and the mouse connected appropriately.
    As far as electrical issues, just use common care when connecting cords, and use a surge protected power strip to connect to household power.
