Have 2 A1305 mini to dvi adapters but...
I have two mini display port to dvi adapters; one works wth a VGA cable to an external monitor and the other doesn't on my MBP 2008 late, 5,1.
Both carry the model number of A1305 on DVI end of the plug. What's up?
This site has pictures of the connectors - http://www.hisdigital.com/UserFiles/news/200902261616114965.png
My adapters match the DVI-D picture.
One of teh two operates an ADC 20" Cinema Display.
ls advise. thx
The first display plugs right into the DVI port on the card and is happy.
The second can be plugged in today, with any-old-adapter, as long as you Never want to run three displays.
If you ever want to run three displays with two adapters, you need ALL adapters to be ACTIVE adapters. Third-party ACTIVE adapters cost only about US$35, so you may choose to go straight to an ACTIVE adapter. In the US, this one is good and cheap:

Startech is cheaper in the UK.

Single-Link DVI is used up to and including 1920 wide.
Dual-Link DVI is required above 1920 wide.

When I connect my macbook air to projectors (most projectors) using the proper adapters, it simply does not recognize the displays. My colleague and I have both had this problem repeatedly, indicating that it is a systematic issue.
Online blogs say we should be getting an option to "mirror display" in the display menu, but that is not an option. Please help, I present several times a week and this is terribly unprofessional.
Thanks,
KBPHello there, Kelly.

Can I connect a 27" Cinema Display to an ageing iMac? I have a Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter fronting a Kanex C247DL to complete the MIni-DVI to mini display link. Sound is good but screen is black.

Hi
How can I hook up my DVI Adapter onto my new MacBookAir if the machine does not have a mini port (but only 2 USBs and 1 Thunderbolt)?
Is there a DVI adaptor already for Thunderbolt?
Thanks,
JFRThe Mini Display port and Thunderbolt port use compatible connector bodies. Your current Mini Display to DVI or VGA adapter will still work as before on the newer Thunderbolt capable machines.

Here's the setup:
Eizo Coloredge CG223 DVI to DVI on MacPro 5770 interface (ACD works fine on this too, naturally).
Apple Cinema Display 20" have the DVI connector. I have a Mini Displayport to DVI adapter on this, into one of the 5770's MDPs, neither of which seem to work.
Plug the same ACD via DVI (with DVI to MDP adpater) into my MacBook Pro 2009 MDP and it works fine as a second screen.
So what's up with the 5770 MDPs? I've seen online that the card should at least support two displays, either MDPs x2 or MDP and DVI. I've seen there may be an issue with three, not two.
Any ideas please?
Thanks,
YStriped down to bare inputs - monitors and keyboard/mouse. Works! Dimerising must have interfered with it. Phew!

I have a late 2008 white macbook. I have a mini dvi to hdmi adapter, and a hdmi cord. My cannot get my MB to detect an external monitor. Nothing happens when plugged in. Also, my display settings does not have an option for mirroring or arrangment tab
Yeah, I'm having the same exact problem - It seems that the thunderbolt minidisplay port is only able to output the analog VGA signal, not the digital signal to support DVI and HDMI. This is a bug that came up after installing 10.7.1. I bought my macbook air with 10.7 on it, upgraded it to 10.7.1 as soon as I got it, so I have never been able to use hdmi or dvi with my macbook air. This is an extremely frustrating problem for me, I used HDMI on a daily basis with my PC. I have spent many hours at the genius bar running diagnostic tests so Apple can get as much information as possible to create a fix for this problem. I have been emailing tech support for 3 or so weeks now, they keep saying that they are working on a fix and it should be out soon, but 10.7.2 has come and gone and I still have no HDMI functionality with my MacBook Air!

I have the mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter firmware 1.03 and I still have massive screen flickering issues on a Mac Mini 2012.
I am using a Dell 30" monitor (it's the Samsung screen just rebranded) connected to a WD 4TB Thunderbolt drive connected to the Mac Mini.
The screen is usable for the most part when I've just started the computer (although today I started having issues after a fresh restart) but if even just the screen goes to sleep, or the computer goes to sleep and I wake it later, I start to have massive flickering to black and occasionally to snow.
The effect seems to be more likely to arise when I'm on heavy graphics-intensive websites or programs (eg, Tumblr feed with lots of GIF images or working in Adobe Premiere), but once it starts shutting down those programs has no effect, the screen keeps flickering wildly.
The problem improved after the 1.03 firmware upgrade (for a while it was flickering uncontrollably ALL the time and was virtually unusable) but it has not gone away.
Any suggestions would be very welcome, either for how to fix this issue or how to get Apple to, you know, let me TELL THEM that their adapter firmware fix has NOT solved the issue, since my phone support has expired. :/I have a new Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter to allow my original Apple 30" Cinema Display to connect to the new Mac Pro. Shipped straight from Apple, it is firmware version 1.03. I've never had flickering issues, but the display will often go black (possibly after a screen power save) and not come back. when this happens I am still able to connect to and use the Mac via remote connection. But the only way to get the screen back is either to unplug the adapter and plug it back in to the Mac, or to shut down and power up the Mac. This may be a separate issue, so I'll also post it standalone...

Have 23" Cinema Display, want 30" but don't know if my DVI switch will work
I have a 23" Cinema Display currently being shared by my 2 Macs (G5 and MacBook Pro) and 2 Windows PCs using a 4 port Single Link DVI KVM.
I want to upgrade to a 30" display, but I am getting some conflicting advise from Apple Store personnel, Apple Online Store, etc.
I want to put an adapter between my current single link DVI switch and a new 30" cinema display. I keep hearing to use the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, but looking at pictures of it, I don't see how that would work. I would need two DVI connections on the adapter (one in and one out), but I don't see that on there.
The gist is, I have 4 computers (which may or may not have dual link DVI) and I want to still use them to drive a 30" Cinema Display. Am I just hosed and have to wait, or buy a 30" monitor from another vendor?
I would be fine with the current 1920 by 1200 resolution on the 30" as I am purchasing this to help my tired eyes.
Thanks for any advise.Malcolm Rayfield wrote:
I have read of other 30" monitors (Samsung) supporting lower resolutions using a single link DVI. Is it just the Cinema Display that doesn't support single link at any resolution.
The Apple 30" will work at 1,280 x 800 via single-link DVI.
What's the point though

i have one apple id.
i have 2 mini ipads with different game center id's but same apple id...
each ipad has their own email address setup, even though they can see all 3 email address...
why does the game center id no longer keep its own game center id?Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?
Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.

I got a new iPad mini and It said that I didn't have anything in my iCloud backup but I had all 800 of my pictures on it. How do I get them back?
The new one must have been in inventory for a while or it would have the latest iOS.
To update it, connect it to your computer and open iTunes. You may be prompted by iTunes that a newer version is available; if so, choose Download and Install to update it to iOS 6.1.3.
If you don't get this prompt, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, then click on the Summary tab at the top. On the Summary tab, click Check for Update. You should then be prompted that there is an update available and you can update your iPad.
After updating, as mentioned in the posts above, set it up as a new iPad, eject it from iTunes and disconnect it from your computer, then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go back through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. You should now be able to choose your backup to restore from. Be sure your iPad is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish. -

I have an older Airport Extreme (disc shaped) that we use with my wife's PowerBook (OS 10.5.8) and my MacBook Pro (OS 10.9.4). We currently only have Airport Utility on her Mac, but I want to upgrade the utility so I can use it on mine. Which version of the utility will work on my MacBook, and still control the older Airport Extreme?
if I update the Airport to the latest version, and "control" it with my MacBook Pro, will the older G4 still be able to use the signal from the new Airport?
Yes. Your G4 shouldn't have any difficulty connecting to a Wi-Fi network provided by the latest 802.11ac AirPorts as they support the earlier radio modes that the G4 uses.
