DVI to ADC adapter STudio display will not power on when used with Mac mini

I have a Mac mini and I just purchased a used apple 17" CRT studio display. I bought the DVI to ADC Adapter as recommended by my Apple store. When I hook everything up (I have checked and redone this two times) The power light will come on for about a second when presses. When the mini powers up there is a blank dark screen. I would appreciate any ideas on this. thanks!

Hi
unfortunately I think the Apple store have sold you the wrong item.
I'm almost certain the DVI to ADC adapter only works with ADC based flat panel displays. DVI ports can output digital or analogue signals (or a combination of the two). The adapter seems to provide digital, which is why it works with the LCD displays, but not analogue, which is why it doesn't work with the CRT displays.
Confusingly Apple did a 17" Studio display both as a CRT and LCD.
Dr. Bott do a similar adapter but they explicitly state it's not compatible with the 17" CRT.
Unfortunately I'm not sure there's a solution, as the display has an ADC connector yet I'm not aware of any adapters available that will work.

  • HP Palion dv7 Notebook PC will not power up when power button is pressed.

    My HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC will not  power on when the power button is pressed. I have removed the battery, unplugged the AC adapter and pressed the power button for 15+ seconds then plugged in the AC adapter and pressed the power button for 15+ seconds. Then I release the power button and then press the power button again and the Notebook will power up and operate normally. I can reinstall the battery once it has powered up. What is causing this problem and how do I remedy the problem?

    Hello Griff83147,
    Unfortunately there could be a number of different things that caused that issue from drivers, software, possibly hardware. I am glad you got it up and running but there isn’t a clear picture of what actually caused. If a technician got the chance to work on it then they could at least narrow it down.
    Sorry I could not answer your question, but this is one of those questions that can have multiple answers.
    If you have any further questions don’t hesitate to ask.

    Hi Buterem,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Laptop will not power on when power button is pressed

    I have a Pavilion m6
    model: m6-1045dx
    Laptop will not power on when I press the power button. It is fully charged. The only light that will come on is the light indicating that it is fully charged. I have tried removing the  battery and then putting it back in but that did not work. I use this laptop for college and it is time to go back to school. Please help!

    Try a hard reset, works sometimes.Disconnect all external devices first.
    1-remove power cord and battery
    2-press power button for 30 seconds
    3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
    4-try power on

  • I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate... disconnect display, open lid laptop display will not activate... used to work fine.

    I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate when keyboard/mouse used... disconnect display, open lid and laptop display will not activate... only way out is hold power button.  Worked fine before Lion update.   Any Advice?

    Thanks very much Coander15... I've printed the doc you pointed me towards and I'll run through it.. hoping it helps!
    Before I installed Lion I simply hit any key on the keyboard or clicked the mouse...
    The keyboard is USB (usually connected to monitor which is connected to laptop... have tried direct connect to laptop as well with no luck) and mouse is USB wireless to one of those tiny plug in's... have tried direct connect USb mouse as well with no luck.
    I could plug the closed/sleeping laptop into the monitor and unplug from the monitor without incident all day/night... always worked fine. 
    Had heard something about this happening w/ Lion but went ahead anyway. 
    Oh well...
    Hoping your pointer helps... will let you know how it turns out.  Thanks very much for responding!!!

  • My iphone will not power on - when plugged in the battery will display, but it does not charge

    My iphone ran out of battery a few days ago, and now it will not charge back up. Its been plugged in for over a day, when the home button is pressed it displays a battery with 3 small red bars. I was able to get it into recovery mode and restore factory settings - but this did not solve the problem! it is still not turning on. I have tried changing chargers etc. already and i believe it is a problem with the phone. please help!

    Could be a battery problem. You'll have to visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider to Apple Store to get it checked for hardware issues.

  • TS3474 My nano will not power on when fully charged, screen remains black.

    Bought early 2012, no idea what generation it is. When connected to the stereo, the screen illuminates and nano works with stereo controls. When I try to take the nano for a run, when holding the power button down the screen remains black and no amount of touching the screen will produce an image or any sound. Any ideas about troubleshooting the black screen when powering up un-connected?

    Hello gatormother,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4433
    Will not turn on or screen remains dark
    Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
    If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting it while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least six seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
    If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
    If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • Firefox will not quit. I use a Mac Book

    Firefox will not quit.

    What is the wording of the message you get?  Your use of the word "qualify" hints that you might be trying to activate an upgrade version and it is asking you to provide the name and serial number for the older product that qualifies you to use the upgrade.

  • Untitled tab will not go away cant use with it there

    i have a tab that says untitles. it will not go away. i can't do anything with it there

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Date selection will not print properly when using Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 in Excel 2010

    I have created a field input worksheet in which the user identifies start and end dates for training sessions, using the Date and Time Picker Active X Control.  It works fine on-screen, but when the worksheets are printed, the dates that were selected
    using the date picker calendar print out in an unreadable, huge font.  The large font also appears in the print preview mode.  I've tried modifying various properties in design mode, but nothing that I have tried will correct the problem. 
    Any ideas?

    The DTPicker seems to have some bugs in it when used on a worksheet. I have overcome the above by setting the size properties to the same size as a cell and the Linked cell property to the
    cell under the DTPicker. (Even setting the Linked cell had problems with an error message referring to the Check box property to be set to true so I just set it to true and inserted the linked cell and set the checkbox property back to
    false.)
    Then the VBA code below that Hides the DTPicker after a date is selected and unhides the DTPicker when the linked cell with the date is selected. The code is for 2 DTPickers so you will need to edit to suit your requirements.
    Caveat: If the DTPicker is visible then you can't hide it by selecting the same date again. If this occurs then it is a multi step operation. First select another date and the DTPicker will hide, then click on another cell then back on the cell with
    the date to unhide the DTPicker and then select the correct date.
    Hope it helps and feel free to get back to me with any questions etc.
    Private Sub DTPicker1_Change()
        Me.DTPicker1.Visible = False
    End Sub
    Private Sub DTPicker2_Change()
        Me.DTPicker2.Visible = False
    End Sub

  • Which Display To Use with mac mini?

    Is it possible to use an iMac Desktop computer as a display for a mac mini?
    Does anyone have the range of different monitors that can be used as a display for the mac mini?
    Both answers are crucial to buying a mac mini.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   600 MHz Power PC G 3 512 MB SDRAM

    Not directly. You can of course connect to the mini using remote desktop (included with Mac OS - enable it on the Services tab of Security preference pane) and a free VNC client.
    It is not fast and snappy like a directly attached monitor - so you will want to use it ocassionally to make remote changes - not day in and day out display.
    Best to get a display that supports DVI input (or HDMI) and meets your budget. Here are the specs... (it will drive VGA as well - but it's no longer a digital signal and generally less nice)
    DVI video output to support digital resolutions up to 1920 by 1200 pixels; supports 20-inch Apple Cinema Display and 23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display; supports coherent digital displays up to 154MHz; supports noncoherent digital displays up to 135MHz

  • Is LED display video cord too short to use with Mac Pro?

    I've seen the new 24-in cinema display used with a macbook and noted how short the cord is. Now I'm thinking of getting the new Mac Pro with that same display but won't the cord be too short for me to set the tower near the floor on the side of my desk? I don't want to have to set that tower ON my desktop just so the connector will reach the minidisplay port.
    Any thoughts?

    I have exactly this set up, and it (just) works for me.
    The cable is about 42" from the back of the monitor to the three connectors at the other end, which allows me to have the Mac Pro on the floor, and the monitor on my desk. Obviously, it will depend on your desk height, cable access, etc., but it was a bit of tight fit, so you might want to get out a tape measure and see it will work for you.

  • Will I be able to use my Mac mini backup on a different mini?

    I backed up my Mac mini onto an external drive thru the Time Machine.  Now I will be upgrading the memory and hard drive.  So I will basically have a new computer.  Can I reinstall my files as well as the settings onto the upgraded Mac mini?  As if I was reinstalling through the cloud.

    Yes.
    Restoring your entire system from a backup
    If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
    Hold down the Command and R keys at startup to start the computer from the Recovery system. The Recovery menu that appears includes the option to restore from a Time Machine backup. If you are using Mac OS X Snow Leopard, start your computer from the installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility.
    Note: If "You can't restore this backup because it was created by a different model of Mac" appears when restoring a backup that was made on a different Mac, follow the onscreen instructions. If you are trying to restore your backup from one Mac to another Mac, use Migration Assistant to transfer data from the backup instead, as described in the next section.

  • Lion Install will not allow me to use my Mac HD

    I managed to download Lion last night using the App Store.  Tried installing, I can't get past the "Select the disk where you want to install Mac OA X window.    I only have one partition, 100% MAC, screen states "499.76 GM Total . 350.22 GB available.  Third line "This disk is used for Time Machine backups."
    This HDD is my primary drive and is backed up to an external drive, not the Mac HDD.  Tried to disable Time Machine, no change, tried to reboot, several times, no change.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?  I'm running 10.6 on a 18 Month old MacBook Pro.  Thanks

    Look in the directories for your primary drive.  If there is a Backups.backupdb directory then Lion won't install as it thinks your backups are located there.  If TM is backing up to an external drive, you're safe to delete this directory on your boot volume.  Then Lion will install.
