What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter?
Hey guys,
I found out an answer by myself...
The missing link : the MacBook Pro needs to be powered... as in you need to plug the charger in...
In conclusion, you simply plug everything, turn on the MacBook Pro, close the lid, and there you go !

How to adjust the brightness of a second display (Dell 3007WFPHC 2560x1600 dpi) connected to 27 inch iMAC 2012 through thunderbolt port by an Apple Mini Display Port to Dual-Link DVI Adapter?
Macs control computer by USB. With a non-Apple display, you will have to use the brightness control on the display.

Apple's Mini Displayport to Dual link DVI Adapter... What to do?
So i'm doing a new setup with 6 monitors (Eyefinity 6), and i've got everything set up so far... Except for adapters. So i went and got 4 Of those Accel MDP to DVI SL adapters, in addition to the two passive that come with a card. Didn't work...
So i got two Apple Mini Displayport to Dual Link DVI Adapters... And boy, I should have read the reviews before buying them. They are giving me very strange issues. Not going above 800X600, serious graphics corruption on the monitors connected to the apple adapters, or odd resolutions that the monitors do not support.
So i'm wondering what to do. If possible, i'd like to get these to work somehow, as i got them for cheaper than other MDP to Dual Link adapters. They are both plugged in to the USB ports of my mac pro.
I've also heard something about a firmware version, 1.2 or something. Is there a way to update the firmware of these?
Thanks
-CI'm using the Sapphire 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition. Two of them in crossfire, supplied their power from an external 1200W PSU Devoted just to them.
It's under Windows 7, running on my mac Pro 2.26.
Hooking them both up to a iphone cube-wall charger keeps them up and running, but they fail to supply the necessary resolution (One only registers 640X The other dimension, the other thinks the monitor is 1920X1080, when it really is 1920X1200).
Not to mention, attempting to use any of them in an extended desktop led to a MACHINECHECKEXCEPTION bsod.
I can't find any sign of what the whole issue is, i'm having issues with the eyefinity setup itself too, so i dunno if its the adapters, the card, drivers, or what. The apple adapters are acting up on me though. -
Is an Apple ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter the same thing as an old Mini-DP to DVI adapter?
Will a different adaptor give me better resolution between my old computer and a new monitor?
Computer: MBP 15-inch Mid 2010
Monitor: Dell U2713H
Current cable: 20276 3dv ft1 DVI Digital Dual Link with a Apple Mini-DP to DVI adapter to get it to plug into my MBP.
Possible solution?: Apple ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter instead of my old adapter above?Yes. A single-link DVI connection can't drive that monitor at its maximum resolution.

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...

Will the old 23" ACD work with the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapte
Will the old 23" ACD work with the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter and the new MacBook Pro?
Apple Store says it is for the 30" only.
Thanks ... KenI'm not so sure about that. I'd say the jury's still out until someone gets one and tries to use it single-link.

Can a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter do the same job as the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter? Meaning, can I connect a DVI screen less than 30 inches? Why would I buy the expensive product? Simply because I might have to sometimes work with a small screen, sometimes with a big, and it would save me the trouble and money of buying both. If the answer is yes, do I have to constantly plug it in USB, even on a smaller screen?

Yes.

Yes.

Don't know which products you're looking at, so can't say.

A dual link is supposed to handle any single link signal, it just has twice the bandwidth. -

What flash player software is good for use with the Apple Mini?
I get "flash player missing" warning on news sites when I go to available videos. What can I do? I have a 2015 Apple Mini iOS 10 with 500 GB hard disc
There are no active reference viri in the wild for any of the hard-sold antivirus
applications to remove from the Mac OS X. You can use ClamXAV from its
maker's site (no other, as some are bad copies loaded with adware or malware)
here: http://www.clamxav.com/ that can help isolate and remove items that
you may get from someone's email who owns a windows PC, if you do not want
to forward those to some of your friends who use windows.
A larger concern may be adware and some kinds of malware, they are avoidable
but unless you are zealous about how you use your computer gear online, it may
be possible to get several items that can make using your Mac seem nightmarish.
Here are a few links to information that are best glossed-over before an issue so
you may have an idea what you may be up against when or if you do get adware
or some other malcontent from browsing corrupted web sites. Oh, also avoid the
torrent or bitorrent sites that offer file sharing or 'free downloads' that you later will
pay for one way or another. These can be tainted with badware that starts out in
a web browser, or perhaps if you get a bad copy from corrupted download online
of a known software but not from the maker's site (such as a copy of Flash, but
not from Adobe's own site) these can be a lot of work to undo their bad effects.

For Adobe Flash, which is not installed in OS X anymore, you could get it, or see
what else may be helpful to use to see video file content. I don't use it and feel
that if there is some great need to see a video (most are like trash) the better ones
now use HTML5 or some other technologies that just work in the browser w/o Flash.
If you need Flash be careful and keep the OS X updated and be sure to get Adobe
updates for their product. Some of their products are OK, but some are bloatware.
The links I posted on how to get the Adobe Flash (adobe help pages) are ones to
note. There are other items in their site which may or may not be helpful to you.
You may do well to start a new thread, or ask and someone could ask the ASC Hosts
to move your post into a new thread of its own; then any replies to it may appear to

If your ordered Mini has at least 8GB RAM (it would be soldered in as part of the logic
board, and so not upgradable; unlike certain former builds that allowed user upgrade)
and if it has an Apple Fusion or SSD Drive, or a hard disk drive with 7200-RPM spin
rate, then it would like be quick enough going forward a few years. More random access
memory (RAM) is separate from drive storage or system hard drive capacity; these do
different things. A computer may temporarily use storage capacity as virtual RAM, but
it would be limited by hard drive data rate speeds, that are much slower than chip RAM.
A Fusion or hybrid, or SSD (solid state drive) can speed up the system since the files
that would end up being written to that drive and then read as temporary RAM, would
be moved in faster speed, so your computer function would be noticably faster. A stock
Mac Mini with hard disk drive generally has a slower 5400-RPM rotational hard drive.
This is slower than a Fusion hybrid and much slower than an SSD. The latter is more
costly than the other choices. A fair option if it exists, is a 7200-RPM hard drive, of up
to 1TB capacity, if available as a built-to-order option from Apple when ordered direct.
(An authorized Apple service provider could upgrade the storage drives with suitable
product replacement, and not void the AppleCare warranty; an upgrade at that point
may or may not be covered under an extended (optional) AppleCare plan.
If you ordered your Apple Mini mac from online Apple Store, you have certain time
limits to return it; and depending on which country or region you live in, the rules may
be different. In the US, you have 14 days from when you get it, to change your mind
and notify Apple. If you do not notify Apple (they will authorize a return before you can
ship it back or before you could return it to an official Apple Store in person) the time
limit goes away and you then are the owner of the item. So you do have a limit if you
bought from Apple directly, online or from the official Apple Store. If you do return an
item to Apple you bought direct from them, you could call on the 13th day, providing the
day you call to start the return process is a business day & not weekend or holiday, and
that may allow you a few more days to physically return the computer to them. If you
were to return to the Apple Store online (via fedex or acceptable parcel delivery with
tracking) be sure to check to see exactly when you would need to get it back to Apple.
{If bought direct from Apple & not an authorized independent reseller, be sure to ask
Apple sales when or if you have any issue; returns or pre-arrival, they can be helpful.}
And if you are not in the US or Canada, there still may be 14 days return, if bought via
the official Apple Store (retail location) or from the online Apple Store. This isn't available
through authorized resellers who set their own sales return policies as independent agents.
Anyway, hopefully your new Mini has sufficient upgrade to work well with Yosemite and
whatever applications you may need to load into it; some can be top-heavy in demand
of resources. That's why one has to consider the purpose prior to buying a configuration.
Hopefully this helps you somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing! -
I have upgraded my software to OS X Snow Leopard. Now I want to update that to Lion. How do I do that? When I look at the Lion software available for download on the apple site it all seems to be update software for people already a version of Lion.
It has to be 10.6.8 I believe, before you can upgrade to Lion. I found some more info, please check out: http://www.informationweek.com/byte/howto/personal-tech/desktop-os/231001728
Be sure all your programms will work on Lion. Power PC programms do not work anymore (eg Nikon Scan 4 will not work from now on on Mac OS X). Some versions of Canon utilities for camera's do not work, Canon still have to upgrade. For an App Compatibility Table: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table -
What does the 'Dual' in Dual-Link DVI Adapter refer to?
We purchased a 'Mini Display Port to Dual-Link DVI Adapter thinking it meant we could split the output to two monitors such as the Matrox TripleHead2Go or Matrox DualHead2Go.
Having received it, we are unable to determine the advantage of using this product other than a normal Mini to DVI adapter. Hopefully the Dual doesn't refer to the addition of a USB port. Thanks for any replies.
--Bruce D. MeyerDVI uses a transmission format called "transmission minimized differential signaling" (TMDS). In the DVI standard, single-link means that there's one 165MHz TMDS transmitters connected, and dual-link means that there is 2 (doubling the bandwidth of the cable). So, a single-link cable can transmit 1920x1200 at 60 Hz, whereas a dual-link can transmit 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz (about 1.8x the resolution).
So, a dual-link cable will allow you to use higher resolutions and frequencies (though common LCD panels are locked at 60 Hz) than a single-link one. -
I Just bought a new 13" Macbook air and want to add 2 external monitors. Am wondering if the Minin Display Port to Dual Link DVI adapter will work. If not is there any other solution to add 2 external monitors to a MacBook Air?
nice, it's always the ones that fail to do a basic search that are the most hostile. i'm sorry you thought my asking you what monitor was 'drilling' my crystal ball was broken at the time.
there are TONS of posts and articles out there with your answer, but since that may be too hard for you, i've provided some here.

This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID
hi
i had two apple accounts
and just wanted to change the primary email address for the both with each other
when i changed the first one my old email cant be used with other account then i tried replacing my old email it doesnt replace it says
This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID. You may already have an Apple ID associated with this address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID.
please help meYes, I am having the same problem. When I called apple they said that things were "tied up somehow" with another account that has a do different birthday than me. Uuuuuhh? So that means someone else can log in?... I have a feeling there is a big vulnerability with the three login options, just like with the current and past password retrieval. Apple had only suggested that I delete my current set up on my serviced and make a new ID and email.
I Just got a new email and made a new Apple ID account For now. I was hoping the email would work itself out. I assumed If I could make sure everything was verified, not associated with another account, and try to get rid of the alternate id and second email option also used to sign in (seen in Apple ID management) that could possibly be construed or mixed up with something else that it would eventually free up and become "available" again. Unfortunately im still waiting In hopes in just needs to recognize the email isn't associated with anything.
I have had a few major concerns with apple products lately especially with security. My iPhone 4s was hacked too. Some ******* was listening/recording and when I hooked to Internet he sent out the recorded portion that was available. Talk about ****** up. -
I want to change my apple id but get the message "This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID. You may already have an Apple ID associated with this address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID.". I try to log a call with apple support and I get a message like "cannot schedule a call". That leaves me out of options. Any ideas?
Hi billfromwandering,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues changing your Apple ID. It is correct that if an email address has been used previously for an Apple ID, it can not be used for a different Apple ID, as noted in this article:
In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account. You can change your Apple ID to any other email address you control, as long as it's not already in use as an Apple ID. If your email address ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com, it's already an Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
If you are certain that the email in question has never been used for an Apple ID and you are having issues contacting Apple Support regarding this issue, you may want to make sure you are going through the Apple ID support channel on the following page:
