G4 iBook & 17" ADC

I guess the name of this post says it all. Is it possible to hook up a 17" Apple LCD monitor with an ADC connection to a G4 iBook? What would I need?

My problem is that the monitor doesn't have a VGA connection, it'd ADC. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a ADC to VGA adaptor, and if the iBook would power the monitor through that connection.

  • Is it possible to connect a 22" cinema display to an ibook g4?

    Hi all!
    So, I have the DVI to ADC adapter (with an attached usb cable), ADC to VGA adapter, and then the VGA to mini VGA that came with my computer. I have everything connected and I know the screen is getting power (I push the screen's power button and it lights up but then fades to nothing) , but the display screen shows nothing and my ibook gives no indication of the display screen being connected - even when I enter system preferences/displays and click "detect displays". Is it even possible to power a nice, big display screen from my lil' old ibook g4? Please oh please say it is! If not, is it worth it to have an enormous 2005 desktop tower repaired? Thanks everyone!

    That's why iBook users install a firmware hack called screen spanning doctor as a workaround (supports OSX 10.4)

  • Hi, I have a Mac iBook PowerPC G4 1.33 GHz with Mac OSX 10.4.11.

    Hi, I have a Mac iBook PowerPC G4 1.33 GHz with Mac OSX 10.4.11.
    I would like to connect an 20" Apple Cinema Display with ADC connection to it, but it seems impossible because the cord on the Cinema Display doesn't fit the Display port on the iBook G4!
    May anybody suggest how to solve the problem?
    Is the 20" Apple Display (aluminium enclosure) compatible with my iBook G4 Display port?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your replay, Cornelius.
    Can you be more specific?
    Where the Display Forum is?
    I can't find it.
    My question was: Is the Aluminium 20" Apple Display" (not the ADC Apple Cinema Display) compatible with the iBook G4 Display port?
    I know for sure that the Apple ADC-DVI adapter can not be used to connect a Cinema Display to my iBook G4 port.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

  • Run a G5 through a ibook?

    Ive got a g5 mac, but currently for the odd month, no screen in my current location.
    Im being given my dads old ibook G4. Is it possible to run my G5 through the ibook and use it like a monitor?
    This aside, i also have a old cinema display lying around. What's the best ADC (female) to DVI (male) adaptor i can use to connect the two.
    In truth id rather use the ibook if there's a way, as it will save the odd penny.
    Thanks

    You can't use the iBook directly, as it has no "video in" port. However, in theory, you could set up VNC (network control) and use ScreenRecycler. However, you do have to install the app first, which requires ... a real screen.
    So you could set this up using the ADC display and then, once it's working, keep the G5 headless and control it through the iBook. As to an adaptor, if the display is ADC and your G5 has only DVI, there's an Apple adaptor for about $100. If it's the other way around, the adaptors are a lot cheaper - try newegg.com.

    Will this type of display work with the G4 Powerbook or and iBook with a VGA adapter or does it require a Power Mac?

  • How To Connect My PB To An iBook...

    My cousin just bought a new ibook - I'll be going to over to help him set it up and it would be nice to transfer some of the family pics / files I have on my powerbook over to his machine to load up into iphoto etc.
    I'd like to find a way of connecting the two 'books so that both are still useable... I'm hoping that simply connecting the two via a firewire cable will create some sort of mini-network?... but that sounds to easy...
    I'm trying to avoid 'target disk mode' as this means one of the 'books will have to be inactive... he currently hasn't gone live on broadband - although it is imminent...
    If anyone has any advice / help it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    "I'm hoping that simply connecting the two via a firewire cable will create some sort of mini-network?... but that sounds to easy..."
    But it is that easy. Network the iBook and PowerBook via IP over FireWire:

  • DVI to ADC adapter doesn't work

    Greetings folks,
    I have an Apple DVI to ADC adapter going to a Formac 17" ADC display or alternatively an Apple 17" LCD ADC display. The displays do not function with either my MacBook Pro or my MacBook. I can't figure out which the Macs are having a problem with, the displays or the adapter. It all works fine with my PowerBook G4 and both of my PowerMac G4's. Also, regular DVI and VGA displays work fine with the MacBook Pro and the MacBook.
    I have talked with tech support and they have not been able to find a solution. I will bring the adapter to my Apple store to see if they can determine the problem.

    Okay, here's an update: the DVI to ADC adapter does work with the Apple displays that I have tried, but it won't work with the Formac. I have tried multiple time to contact them, but to no avail... they don't even respond to threats of posting my opinion of them, which is this:
    DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM FORMAC! They make quality products, but their customer service is a big time joke! They won't take care of you.

  • What do i buy to hook up my ibook....

    what do i buy to hook up my ibook g4 into my tv using the A/V plug??
    do i hook up the --(Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter) to my ibook then hook up the --(Apple AV Cable for iBook) to the adapter??....
    thanks for the help...

    You need to use the Apple Video Adapter M9109G/A to get a video signal.
    Then you just need a male-to-male video patch cable to connect the adapter to your TV.

  • How can I stop shared files in iBooks being highlighted by different family members?

    I Have family sharing set up which is great for sharing apps and music however I have a problem with iBooks. My wife and I both use ePub files which a re study material. The great thing about these is that we can highlight and add notes to files.
    THe problem is that our individual highlights and notes are shared with each other. So I get my wife's highlights and notes on top of mine.
    We ha ve tried clearing all ePub files from my wife's ipad, and only syncing them to mine. She then downloads her own copy of the ePub file. So one has the original which is on our iMac and one has another copy. This makes no difference as iTunes recognises them as the same file.
    We'd be happy to switch off family sharing for iBooks to prevent this but that doesn't seem possible. It's all or nothing. I can't turn off family sharing completely as my wife will lose access to our shared music library.
    Does oes anyone have any suggestions? Basically, we want to share music and apps through family sharing but have a separate collection of books even though those books might be ide bridal before we annotate them.

    Have you tried going into the Preferences on iBooks on your Mac and unchecking the option for syncing across devices?

  • How can I share iBooks authored by me using iBook Author on 2 different iPads synced to two different computors? Both iPads have different iTunes accounts.

    I am in the process of authoring an eBook using iBook Author.  The project is a work in progress and I want to share the draft with other collegues.  We each have our own iPads synced with other computers and we have different iTunes acounts.  I attempted to preview the book on the new iPad, but the iPad did not come up in the available device window.
    Am I missing something or is there a way around this?

  • How can I transfer my iPad iBooks to iTunes library?

    I'm having a problem getting my iPad books into my mac and I really could use some help. The situation is, my mac got stolen a few months ago and I finally could get a new one. I also have an iPad, where I had thankfully stored all my iBooks. They're backuped to iCloud cause I could restore them to said iPad (using iOS 6) just using my Apple id. But most of them weren't bought at the iTunes store but downloaded from other places. The only thing I can see in iTunes (v. 11.0.2) when I connect the iPad is the ones I bought at the iTunes Store. How do I do to get my old ones in iTunes and (now that I know how hard this is) in my mac to do another backup somewhere else than in iCloud?
    Has someone done this before and could help me? I've been looking for it for hours and I can't seem to find a solution. I'd be very grateful if someone could point me out in the right direction. I mean, they're there! How do I get them? Help!

    Thank you. That would have worked too, but before getting the answer I found another solution: what I finnaly did was use Detunes to copy my books from the iPad. It was quite fast too. Any of those could have worked quite nicely.

  • Can I move an ibook author file from one device to another?

    I have ibook Author on my Macbook and my Mac Mini.  If I start a project on my Macbook, is it possible to transfer the incomplete file to my Mini (where all my pictures and charts are stored) later to complete it?
    ~~ Chikana

    Just like any other file, save your book where you can find it - it will have the suffix .iba
    Move that file, however you like, to your other computer and continue there.

  • Is there a way to copy all my PDfs in ibooks on my iPad?

    Because I'm still sorting out an issue with ibooks on the iMac renaming files so they do not match the names on my iPad, I am wondering if there is a way to copy all the pdfs I have in ibooks on my ipad (without doing each one, one at a time) so I can save a copy in Evernote or dropbox so when I sync and update shortly, I don't loose what I have?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.
    Michelle

    Thank you.Ok say for e.g.
    500 video files imported in fcpx
    800 clips extracted from these obviously on the timeline and joined/compounded according to their content in say 15 layers according to 15 instruments used ,so now just to see the entire usable footage ....
    now one 7 minute song sequence has to be made where bits would be simultaneously taken from these 15 layers as all instruments are playing simultaneously
    these shots are not more than 2 secs each according to the beat........
    when I try to work with these 15 layers as well as the Final primary layer that I'm making in the same timeline my fcpx becomes slow
    but when I drag individual layer to individual timelines it is fine so that is the only option
    but now for every 2 second bit I have to go back to the 15 layered timeline and find one single suitable shot
    So I was wondering is there a way to be able to see these layers and clips on the timeline in the browser in a systematic fashion like the way we get with keywords  ?
    and keywords can only be used in the imported clips already in the browser ,and not after we drag it on the timeline.....
    Till now I think exporting and importing back is the only option ...but is there another work around ?
