DVI connection not working, any ideas?

I just purchased a Powermac G4 1.0 DP (MDD) the other day. When I tested it out at the persons house that sold it to me it was working fine. However once I brought it home and tried connecting my DVI monitors, and neither of them worked.
Is there something different about the DVI connection on the graphics card that needs a special connection/adapter? Or is that DVI port on this model only for a second/dual monitor setup?
If this is the case, I suspect I'll need to buy a ADC->DVI adapter. Anyone know why the DVI doesn't appear to be working for me?

I found the answer, I suspect the DVI standards didn't work properly with the video card and my cable, which caused the monitor not to receive a signal. As the mac used DVI-I, and my cables were DVI-D.
I went to bestbuy and purchased a Dynex DVI->VGA adapter, and everything worked like a charm. ;]

    Thank you I tried the reset again did not fix- I think I am down to calling Apple and paying for a tech - phone company says it is a software problem.  I just updated to 8.1.3  - I thought the update might fix it.

    The router might be bad or incompatible, but let's be optimistic.
    On System Preferences, go to Network/Advanced/PPP. Only two items should be checked: Connect Automatically When Needed and Disconnect when switching user accounts. Uncheck everything else. Now, click Okay on the end of the page. The next time you're online, you shouldn't be disconnected.
    If you still get disconnected like before, we might be dealing with a router issue - which can get rather complicated.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all media and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • My ipod touch is not turning on, i tried to reset it holding home button   power but that does not work, any idea?

    my ipod touch is not working , i tried to rest it holding the power button and home for a while but that does not help..
    any idea ?

    Connect the iPod to its syncing computer.  Let it charge for 1/2 hour .  If iTunes sees the iPod restore it via iTunes
    Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible in iTunes so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Also see:

  • Since updated iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1.3 3G not working, any ideas how to resolve?

    SInce I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1.3 3G has not been working, tried all sorts to rectify, any ideas how I can get it back up and running?

    Double tap the screen with THREE fingers, that should get it back to normal again.
    Then go into Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom > OFF.
    Not too sure about the keyboard and random button presses though.  Back it up and restore from iTunes, see if that fixes it.

  • Synching photos from TeraStation to Apple TV is not working - any ideas?

    Hi,
    gosh, I hope someone can help me with this ... please
    my iTunes library runs on a Buffalo TeraStation Live (network attached storage).
    Synching and streaming movies, TV shows and music works fine. But as soon as I choose the photo folder on the TeraStation and click on apply iTunes starts 'synching' forever without copying any pictures. I have tried streaming the pictures, too (not working either).
    Synching from a local harddrive photo folder works fine for some reason.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you!!

    hmmm - well i sometimes find that the terrastation goes into a sulk and needs a reboot in these circumstances. the trouble is that the terrastation uses windows style filing system and all manner of issues crops up, causes it to crash and / or goes into a never ending loop. If you sync your photos onto the atv then it will be fine - unless you have 1000s of photos, it will not take up too much space
    I am seriously thinking of cutting my losses, getting rid of it and going timecapsule.
