G4-450 DP with a 22 inch clear Cinema display will not work, please advise

Hello all
I can not seem to get a G4-450 DP to work with a 22 inch clear Cinema display, i even have one of those dr.botts wich i normaly run a 2nd 15" clear display.
What happens is that it starts up and then goes black,
can anyone advise?

Hi-
Could you check your system profiler for graphics, and post the model of the card that you have? The stock card is the Rage 128 with the following specs:
-ATI RAGE 128 Pro graphics card with 16MB of SDRAM graphics memory installed in a dedicated AGP 2X graphics slot
-Support for up to 1920– by 1200–pixel resolution at 32 bits per pixel (millions of colors)
-Apple Display Connector (ADC); carries analog and digital video, USB, and power
-15–pin mini D–Sub VGA connector
You say you have a DVI port (along with ADC) so, I want to clarify the card model.
You also state that the display worked once- in what configuration? Connected alone? Through the Dr. Bott's DVIator? That means from the DVI port to an ADC connector on the screen (but the 22" is a DVI connection)?
I found the following quote on the Dr. Bott's page:
However, the ATI Rage 128 card will not work with the 20", the 22" and the 23" Cinema Displays
To clear up confusion (mine), please carefully check your profiler, compare the ports of your card to the Display compatibility link (in above post), and let me know the results (what you have), along with a description of what connects to what. A model number for the display would also help.
Generally speaking, when a display goes black after the gray screen, the graphics card isn't compatible, or the necessary software/drivers are not installed.

    Thank you wjsten for your soon reply. Unfortunately on these days I'm in a country that Apple don't have any retail store here and for sake of time I prefer to fix it myself to DHL it to the nearest country to use its warranty. Do you have any idea how can I fix it? Do you think it's a software issue?

    First make sue you are installing the 64 bit version of iTunes.
    Second make sure it is iTunes 10.7 or later.
    I would download a fresh copy of the 64 bit version of iTunes 11. After installation reboot your computer.
    Before connecting your phone reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • 17" LCD Cinema Display does not work on G4 Tower with ATI 9000

    Hi,
    I have a G4 Tower with the original AGP ATI Radeon 9000B video card. My friend gave me this unit just recently but not the original monitor. Well after he got his new 30" Cinema Display he gave me the original 17"LCD Cinema Display. I was so happy, plugged it into the card and fired up the CPU but nothing! just blank! It is not getting any power for the USB ports or anything. My buddy says the monitor was checked before I picked it up. I yanked the Video card out and put it back in, inside the CPU was clean as was the card, put it back together and still nothing. The VGA monitor I have is connected via adapter to the other input and works fine. I tried doing display settings and the Cinema is not even detected. Is the Video card fried on the digital side?
    Do I need a new one?
    Here is the info on the CPU:
    Machine Model: Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics)
    CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.9)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 400 MHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
    Memory: 1.5 GB
    Bus Speed: 100 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
    Serial Number: XB0120xxxxx
    Any help wold be appreciated.

    Hi MFG,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    The G4 AGP Graphics model originally shipped with an ATY Rage 128 graphics card. The ATI Radeon 9000 graphics card that is installed in your G4 is not the original card.
    The ATI Radeon 9000 comes with a native ADC port (which you are trying to use). This port is only fully functional if the computer is ADC enabled. Your model of G4 is, unfortunately, not ADC enabled.
    You can confirm this by opening the computer and having a look at the AGP slot (where the graphics card is installed). In ADC enabled Macs, there is an extra slot at one end of the AGP slot to accomodate an "extra leg" that the ADC graphics cards (such as the ATI 9000) have. This extra leg supplies the power and USB feed. You'll probably find this extra leg with no slot for it to go into.
    What this means is that you are not getting power and USB feed through the ADC port to your display.
    If you want to get the 17" ADC Apple LCD display working off this card (it's definitely the LCD display and not the CRT display, please confirm), you will need to use a DVI to ADC adaptor such as this one:
    http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0111-DVAD
    and run it off the DVI output.
    You can run your VGA screen at the same time (if you want to) off the ADC output by using this adaptor:
    http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0117-ADCV
    This will work off the ADC port because, although the ADC port is not getting USB or power feed, it's still getting the DVI feed (which is what this adaptor needs).
    Cheers!

  • The error, "Restart Required. Lightroom has encountered a problem with its menus. Some menu commands will not work until Lightroom has been restarted" appears in Lightroom.

    I updated to 5.7 a few days ago and I just now encountered this problem while importing some photos. Is this a common problem?

    Hey Guy's, Thank you for the recommendations to fix his problem and I did restart my browser, etc.. and all was corrected. But, I have been with Lightroom for a while, starting with LR3. I can not remember having one problem, except for my errors, until I started with LR5 and I have some kind of problem hourly! I do not have many presets or plug-ins so I don't think that was really a problem. It crashes constantly, I can edit 4-6 photos and then it starts slowing down and I have to do a restart. It does, on occasion, jump around from the develop controls and even changes modes, crashes and sometimes I just wait it out and it will open in the print mode or slideshow! I find photos all over my computer that it sent on its own. I did download and check for malware and other viruses and none were found so I am still troubleshooting everything from my fairly new computer and everything else but I always think when they come out with a newer version to download, it will correct my problems but they only get worse.

  • Is anyone else aving an issue with the "TTY" phone feature with the new ioS 7? Mine will not work in "sleep/lock" mode

    Is anyone having trouble with the "TTY" phone answering feature with the new ios 7 when your phone is in "sleep/lock" mode"? I only have an issue when it is in the "sleep/lock" mode

    I am sorry..."TTY" in "Phone Settings" being "on" or "off" has nothing to do with this feature but the issue still remains that it only works when the phone is NOT in "sleep/lock" mode

  • With Lion, I notice the AOL software will not work, yet the mail files still exist. Is there a method I can retrieve these E mails?

    The AOL software, which of course stopped offering support to Apple in 2006 still worked like a charm with Snow Leopard.
    Is there a way to get the E mails which were saved on my my MAC, in AOL?  My Mac is from Feb. 2011, so fairly new.
    Need these E mails, as mucho information.
    Help, please!

    The easiest way would be to install Snow Leopard on an external drive, or new internal partition, and export them from the AOL software itself.
    Alternatively, you could try an app like http://www.weirdkid.com/products/emailchemy/
    I don't have AOL - so I can't speak for it's effectiveness in your situation.

    I have a Deskjet 6940 model C8970A. The Duplex printer function does not work. It will manually ask me to turn around all the pages to print on the other side. Before it would print front then back of page at a time.  I have Windows 7 64 bit on the new computer.

  • Adobe Active X will not work with my Windows 7.  Suggestions?

    My Adobe Reader 9.xxx was replaced with Active X, which will not work for me.  I keep getting a box message that says perhaps the Adobe.com site is too busy at the tine.  I would rather have my Adobe reader 9.xxxxx back as it worked very well for me.  I have it on my other computer and it work fine.  I am using Windows 7.   Any suggestions?

    From what I understand from this message, it would seem that your Reader passed from "not working" to "now working", whatever you may mean by these two expressions. I am glad.
    May I suggest that next time you have a question, please try to state it clearly and also give enough and accurate details about your problem?
    It would also be useful if you coud mark this question as Answered.

  • Is the 24 inch Apple Cinema Display the best choice for Final Cut Studio 2

    I'm about to order a Mac Pro and Final Cut Studio 2 and have a question about monitor choices.
    Is the 24 inch Apple Cinema Display the best choice are there non-Apple monitors that will do as good or better job with HD editing and output?

    COMPUTER MONITORS bear very little on HD editing and output...especially output. They are just the monitors you use to look at your clips and your timeline. THey work for SD and HD. You really only use them to, well, as I said, see what you are doing. It would be nice to have GOOD ONES so the image looks decent. I use the Dell 24" monitors. The current one is the 2408. Nearly half the price of the Apple 23" displays...and really, the only Apple 23" that exists connects via their new connector, so you need a new MacPro or MacBook pro...or some adapter, to get it to work. And they are not worth the extra money, in my experience.
    Samsung monitors are also good.

  • 30 inch Apple Cinema Display-system prefs not showing native resolutions

    The 30 inch Apple Cinema Display, seems to be working fine with the mac pro, but when I try to hook up the 2009 mini, the display preferences do not show the mini's native resolution of 1920x1200.  The maximum it shows is 1280x800, and only gives a few other choices.  This mini had once been attached to a TV monitor, so I am wondering if that has something to do with the lack of choices in the system preferences.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the system preferences to display the correct info so that I can adjust the resolution ?
    Thanks

    Being compatible with the 24-inch Cinema Display and being able to use it at resolutions higher than 1280 by 800 doesn't necessarily mean that it can drive the 30-inch Cinema Display at its full resolution. You need to use a dual-link DVI connection as stated above.

  • 23 Inch Apple Cinema Display

    Recently I have had some difficulties with my cinema display.
    The Problem:
    I power my machine on in the morning and my display will not launch. My monitor is not flashing any error code sequences at me. At times it takes anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes for my display to light up and show the desktop. I took the display in to the Apple store to have a genius look at it. After watching the genius plug the monitor in to 4 other computers (using the same power connector's I use at home) and work without any problems, we know it is not the monitor that is the problem.
    I need to take the machine back in to have it tech'd, but I was trying to do some debugging on my own to see if I can determine the issue at hand. I have tried resetting the SMU on my Power Mac G5 (late 2005 model). The reset seemed like it worked the very first time I tried it, but since then I have been back in the same boat. I also reset the PRAM/NVRAM which did not yield any intriguing results.
    I have noticed my monitor seems to show its display quicker if I do not attach the USB key to the G5 until the display is working.
    I would like to know the following:
    Anyone else have an issue similar to this? If so, how was it solved?
    Could it be a power supply issue, or possibly a graphic card issue?
    Any debugging tips?
    Specs: Power Mac G5 (late 2005), nVidia GeForce 7800 GT, 2GB RAM

    If you have the acrylic (clear) model M8536 or M8537 and you are using it with the ADC to DVI adapter, then you may want to question the adapter itself. If you are connecting it directly to the graphic card, then I would check the card. If your display is the aluminum (newer model) then I would think the graphic card is the problem, since the geniuses did not find any problems. I really don't think the display is at fault.

  • Max resolution of '30 inch Apple Cinema Display'...?

    When I connected 30 inch Apple Cinema Display, model M9179ZM/A, to an ATI Radeon X850 XT graphic card, I have failed to get higher resolution than 2048 x 1538 althought this graphic card is listed in the Technical Specification at www.apple.com/displays/specs.html as an appropriate card for driving this monitor.
    Plese could anybody tell me where a mistake is?
    Thanks.

    It doesn't sound like the Exchange environment is configured in a manner to support these types of clients very well.  Have your Exchange team look at the following

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/10/18/supporting-windows-mail-8-1-in-your-organization.aspx
    From the latter article: "Communications applications can connect to a corporate Exchange service
    configured to require certificate-based authentication. User authentication certificates can be provisioned to Windows 8.1 devices by administrators or end-users can browse to certificate and install to user certificate storage."
    You might want to:
    Ask your Exchange team the public URLs (ExternalURL) for Exchange OWA & ActiveSync
    Open the OWA URL in your Internet Explorer from your Surface
    If you get a Certificate warning, open the certificate and select Install (NOTE: You may have to install the entire certificate chain).  Your desktop support team should be able to support this because it is the SAME process for standard Windows 8x
    desktops.
    Confirm that you can open OWA on your surface with no more certificate or security warnings.  NOTE: The Exchange team will have to configured OWA properly.
    Once confirmed, repeat the same steps for the activesync URL that they provided.
    When done, try using the OWA OR ActiveSync URL value in your settings of your Mail client.
