Hanns-g 19" doesn't work with macbook...

I have a Hanns 19" external monitor, which I have been using with my Aluminium PowerBookG4 laptop with no problems.
I also have a Black MacBook, running 10.4.8. Yesterday I purchased the Apple Mini-DVI to DVI adaptor and plugged it in to the macbook and external monitor, but I cannot get it working properly...
The external is identified by the system preferences as HW191D. It only works with mirroring off (with mirroring on the screen appears dead, even though it is powered up) The only resolution that I can *kind of* get working is 1024X768. The display looks terrible, and application windows (like FCP are just blue static) and it is plain buggy - moving the cursor off screen will often result in the screen going off again. Trying any other resolution results in a dead screen.
Plugging the monitor back into the G4 gives me that great crisp extra real-estate I'm so used to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm feeling really cramped on the little MacBook Screen
thanks

I'm up and running!
I downloaded SwitchResX, and fiddled with various resolutions - the one (and only one) that finally worked is 1440 x 900, 59.9 Hz. This resolution now also appears in the System Preferences ( I could swear it wasn't available before So I uninstalled SwitchResX and voila! - Mirroring and extended desktop both work great - external looks perfect... and I have my real-estate back!
Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction. Much appreciated.

  • Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro

    Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro when plugged in with a dvi to mini dvi cable. Any ideas what to do to make it work? I lugged the 23" 2500 miles into the wilderness and I need help

    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.

  • ACER X203H doesn't work with MacBooks?

    I have recently brought DVI - VGA adapter to connect it with my Acer X203H 20", once connected the MacBook Pro screen goes blue for 3 secs and goes back, the LCD screen show "No Signal" message. I have tried to connect my MacBook Pro to Samsung LCD via HDMI adapter, it worked fine.
    I called a specialist he told me I have to connect it directly to the monitor without any extra adapters, and still not working.
    Please help.

    Problem solved, the DVI adapter seemed to be not compatible with my monitor, I changed it and eveyrthing works fine except when closing the laptop lid the internet connection drops, eveything functions well except the internet connection.
    Now, I have to keep it open to work.
    Do you have an idea?
    Thanks.
    You have to wake the MBP after you close the lid, if you have an external kbd or mouse click them (one will do) or plug in a usb stick, that will wake it up.

  • Apple Firewire to Thunderbolt doesn't work with my Infrasonic Deux sound card

    Hello! My soundcard "Infrasonic Deux" doesn't work with Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor on my macbook pro 15 retina. On the other mac's the same problem! Via Firewire my soundcard work as well! but it doesn't work with Adapter! Help, please!

    If you purchased an unlocked iPhone at an Apple store, it should be useable with any SIM.  Its possible they just made a mistake and gave you the wrong model phone or there is something wrong with that phone.  If that is the case, just take the phone and your receipt to an Apple store, explain the situation and they should swap it out for an actual unlocked one.

  • New airport express doesn't work with Nintendo DS

    I just picked up a new Airport Express. The WEP setting doesn't seem to be standard. Instead it is this Transitional Security Network that doesn't work with the Nintendo DS or the Netgear WG511T card I have. Any ideas on how to get it to work?

    yeah, the DS just ***** like that. Nintendo should have given it firmware upgradability.

  • IPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?

    iPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?

    At least to 10.6.8. You must do this to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

  • Garagekey USB keyboard works with MacBook Pro, but not with 27"  iMac

    Just got a brandnew 27" iMac. The Garagekey USB keyboard doesn't work. It's recognized in systemProfiler, Audio-Midi Setup, GarageBand and Logic. But no Midi is coming in. When I plug it into my MacBook Pro, it works immediately. I know the Garagekey doesn't work with some 3rd party USB hubs, maybe for lack of enough power, but it works always at the internal USB hubs with the MacBook Pro. Why doesn't it with the 27" iMac? I'm cueless...
    The IMac Systemprofiler says: Current Available (mA) 500, Current Required (mA) 300. So I guess, it can't be a power problem?

    Have the same problem with Logic Pro. Works on my old Mac Mini but not on the new iMac 27" i5. Apple told me that it is a difference between the boards they used on the two computers. They said that even if I got a new mac mini I would run into the same problem. they recommended that I upgrade my mini, or try another piece of hardware to connect the two. Looking for hardware now. Good luck to you.

  • Is it true MS Office doesn't work with Lion?

    I just purchased OSX Lion and while it was downloading I began to read the reviews.  I saw multiple comments that MS Office doesn't work with Lion.  I forced a shutdown on my MacBook Pro because I couldn't see any other way to stop the LIon download.  Now with it back on, the download is paused.  I don't want to resume it until I find out if it's true about office.  Any help?

    Len , MS2008 does require Rosetta. Ms2011 does not.
    W7ox, I tried 2 different licenses. I have 12 licenses here on site. I resorted to reading it straight off the box and still no joy. Very strange!
    Incidently. I can not access the Snow leopard Server either via the normal 'Go' and 'connect to Server'.
    Have tried afp and SMB. no joy.
    I am wondering if the ethernet Dinlge adpater to the Rj45 connector has any hardware issues?? will keep expeirmenting and any feedback appreciated, as I am NOT going ahead with any Lion updates on 12 macs until I know more about its bugs! ciao

  • TS1253 I have a printer epson TX210, but it doesn't work with my time-capsule. What need to do?

    I have a printer epson TX210, but it doesn't work with my time-capsule. What need to do?

    What have you tried?
    You are going to get nowhere quick with the 6.1 utility in Mountain Lion if this is the only OS you have available.
    Look up how to install 5.6 utility under ML. At least then you can see printers. That is assuming you are trying to use USB.
    Has this worked ever on Mountain Lion? Did you download the drivers for that printer for ML?
    Plug it into a computer directly.. does it work? If it doesn't work locally it sure will not work via the network.

  • Quicklook doesn't work with .avi files

    Hello, i've got a little problem right here on my mac. The thing is that I used to have Snow Leopard as a OS and quicklook used to work great, it opened all the extensions I used to work with. The thing change when I format my HDD and installed a clean copy of Lion OS. Now quicklook works fine as it used to but not any more with .avi files. I remember that this feature was working great on my previous OS, and it's really important for me to find a solution because quicklook is an absolutely amazing feature of our Macs.
    I've tryed to download plugins, restoring permissions or even trying it with a guest user, but no success.
    Please help me. If you need more info about specs or something i'll be glad to give them to you.
    Thank you!!!

  • The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5.  My old android phone worked perfectly with my car.  Even the tech guy at Lexus couldn't get it to work.  What is apple doing to fix this.

    The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5.  My old android worked perfectly with my car.  Even the tech specialist at Lexus couldn't get it to work.  Lexus said that other iPhone 5s were having the same problem.  What is apple doing to fix this?

    Going to the local Apple store this morning...
    My problem is not uncommon as the board is showing signs of this happening to many others as well. That is where I found the restore and reboot information to try to solve the issue of crashing apps.
    I understand that Apple will not "give away the cow", but letting iPhone users know that the problems they are having are being addressed by Apple is a little more comforting than nothing at all. Other wise, all the apps in world are useless and even more importantly worthless, if a person has to reset/reboot/reload just to get them to work.
    IF Apple can not address the basic problems with todays iPhone apps, why should one believe that the iPhone 3.0 OS is any better? Using a PC comparison, which is better, XP or Vista. If the current iPhone OS of 2.2. what ever is not working that well (as related to down loaded apps and iTunes), will OS 3.0 be any better?
    The waste of time I refer to is in going to the apps store and downloading the apps... Again why by apps if the free version does not work?
