LED display and Windows (bootcamp) or otherwise

I will be wanting to use this display both on my macbook and my desktop PC tower that I use for work. I know that I'll likely be able to use the display on the macbook in bootcamp, but will I be able to use it using the -DVI adapter on a PC? What sort of controls will I not have? When I adjust brightness in OS X does it write that setting to the display?

I am thnking this is going to be bad news but I have a PC laptop and have been given a 30 inch cinema display by a client of mine and thought it would be as simple as plugging it in???? I purchased a $10 adaptor that converted the DVI cable from the back of the display to the standard 15 pin VGA in the laptop. When I plugged it all in the laptop recognised that there was new hardware attached and downloaded the in built driver but nothing more. I have been messing around with the display settings to try and get an image to come up but with no luck. After reading all the irrate postings about the Imac notebooks and the lack of an available adaptor I am pretty much thinking that my setup is doomed.
would love some help on this one.???

ACD as main display under Windows/BootCamp while in clamshell possible?

Is there any way to run a BootCamp Windows XP Pro installation on an MBP using the ACD as main display while in clamshell mode? Currently the system refuses to wake up after I close the lid. I use a BT mouse/KB, but even with a USB mouse connected it wouldn't wake up. It seems like it would be possible, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

Correct, there was no Gather Windows button.
I do have multiple adapters, but one is an Apple adapter which is, apparently, "passive" whilst the other is active. The passive adapter never works at all under MacOS X, but I haven't tried it under Windows. The "active" adapter works under Windows, but only shows the apple bootup logo under MacOS X, and then turns the display off.
I don't think that the mini displayport is faulty, because the second display plugged into it works perfectly through BootCamp.
I'll try thoroughly testing out all adapters tonight, and then try a different brand of display. I've seen a lot of posts about ViewSonics being flakey under MacOS X, so it's possible it could be on the display driver side of things. Maybe ViewSonic does something screwy signal-wise in their displays, and Windows is willing to deal with it but MacOS X isn't.
Oddly enough, the ViewSonic display I have was shipped with a single-link DVI cable, and it's always worked without a problem, even when plugged into the dual-link DVI port on the Mac Pro. So I don't believe that the display *itself* requires a complete dual-link connection to the computer.
I have much appreciation for all the help and suggestions. Thanks again.

Question re: 1920x1200 RGB LED Display and the Macbook Pros LED display.

My question to the Apple guys here is. What type of LED technology is used in the MacBook Pro's LED display?
I just did a side by side with my buddies new 15" MBP and my new DELL Studio 1737 which has a 1920x1200 which has RGB LED display. I had it second day air FEdEx shipped because I was dying to see this new tech.
And did it blow us away, supposedly since its this new RGB LED it displays something around 98% or 110% of the NTSC color gamut very accurate for graphics and photo work.
My buddy almost dropped when we saw the color accuracy and differences with the MBP. And why hasn't Apple adopted this superior technology?

What do you mean they don't have LED its right on the main page.
Read it carefully, it says "Ultrathin 15-inch LED-backlit display." The "LED-backlit display" part means that the backlighting is LED (as opposed to fluorescent), not the display panel itself (which is LCD).
...Dell has the RGB LED backlighting....
The Dell display you referred to is an RGB LED display, it doesn't have (or need) backlighting. It uses red, green and blue light emitting diodes to produce images, as opposed to a liquid crystal display, which uses color filtered backlighting to produce images.
its confusing why Apple has not adopted this new tech to its high end $3,000 MBP 17 models.
Yet. The 17" MBPs are reportedly due for a significant hardware revision next month. In any case, RGB LED displays have their own performance issues when compared to LCD displays, so don't get too excited, and they may not be thin enough to fit Apple's ultrathin design philosophy.
I have no idea what RGB LED was it just seemed better, and boy did it pay off.
I'm sure you'll have loads of fun with Windows Vista.

Creative Cloud on Mac OSX and Windows Bootcamp on the same machine.

Hello,
I am looking into getting 3DStudio Max which is a Windows only program but will need to flip flop between 3DSM and Photoshop. I am wondering, can I install my Adobe apps on both Operating Systems so that I can have them on my regular Mac OSX for normal work and in Windows Bootcamp for when I do 3D renderings? I rather not use a Virtual Machine considering both of those programs are going to take a lot of RAM already. Adding another program to that mix I feel will just overheat/slow down my machine.
Thank you for your thoughts and time,
Sarah

that's interesting. it may be a problem, but give it a try.
just open your bootcamp windows, navigate to https://creative.adobe.com/ and start downloading ps. a cc desktop app will download to your bootcamp windows and hopefully you ps will work on your bootcamp windows. i don't see any reason why it would stop working your mac, but that will count as your two installations so you will not be able to install on another computer.

Loading Macintosh and Windows (Bootcamp)

I've got Bootcamp installed on my iMac and when I boot up my iMac I have to wait for the system to load up and switch to Windows (Bootcamp). I know there is way when booting up the iMac and holding down a few Keys on the keyboard you can choose which system you want to use, but some reason my Apple wireless keyboard doesn't let me do that method all the time (almost never).
So my question is, can you set up your boot up to let you choose which system (Macintosh or Windows) you would like use? Without holding down Keys on the keyboard.

Yes and no. In either OS, OS X or Windows, you can select the startup disk. That is in System Preferences, Strtup Disk, in OS X and in Control Panel, Boot Camp applet on Windows.
As far as a Full Time Boot Loader system like what is available on Windows PC where a screen comes up for a period of time that give you the option to select which Operating System to boot to before it goes to the Default OS I don't know of any for the Mac as the Mac EFI is LOCKED (Caps because it really is locked up by Apple) so no changes can be made to it. There was one a few years ago, Boot Picker, but has since been removed.
You only other option is to connect a USB keyboard to the system and use that for the Option/Alt key boot menu screen. Which is the Defacto Apple Mac boot loader.

Dual Displays and Windows XP

Hello,
I have a MBP with the Radeon X1600 graphics card. Under OS X I can run dual displays without a problem, either extended or mirrored. Using Bootcamp to boot to Win XP, I can only get the 2nd monitor to run extended, I can't get it to run mirrored. What really drives me nuts (short trip) is that I have run it in mirrored mode before when I teach. I go to the Display dialog box and "see" both monitors, but the only way I can get anything now on the 2nd is to run extended? I could update Radeon driver on the Windows side, but I thought BootCamp took care of that and I don't want to mess up my laptop?

It is definitely best to reinstall anytime you make a major system change. You will have to do at least a windows repair although I am not sure if it will fully enable the dual core.
Good Luck
Jeremy

Thunderbolt Display and Windows 8.1

I have a 2011 MBP running windows 8.1.
Since upgrading (it used to work under windows 8)my external thunderbolt display still works - but it's stuck in 640x480 mode.
Clearly this is a driver issue. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this problem.

That's awful - the good news is something I did -re-enabled the resolution slider - so the monitor works again. The driver thing is annoying. I'm considering trying parallels - and avoiding the issue. This is defintely the last apple monitor I buy though.
Thanks for answering - I'm going to keep my ear to the ground for new drivers as well.

Pair Magic Mouse With Both OS X and Windows (BootCamp)

Hi everyone!
So the other day I setup bootcamp on my mac. I can now access windows but when I do, I have to first boot up OS X, disconnect my magic mouse then switch back to windows to pair it again. Is this supposed to happen because its really annoying.
Thanks!

FFor anyone with this issue I have found a solution here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/72201-dual-booting-windows-7-mac-mountain -lion-both-magic-trackpad-magic-mouse-bluetooth-setup.html

Connected a new 27" LED display and only get 1280 resolution

Ok....got the monitor connected through the adapter (AD-TP400) and only get 1280 resolution....how do I get the full res on this monitor?

Interesting. I have your monitor directly connected to a 2010 Mac Pro which has the mini displayport built into the video card. I also still have the original Mac Pro (1,1) it replaced and that has the NVIDIA GeoForce 7300GT with 2 DVI ports, the one on the right being dual-link.
Where did you get the AD-TP400 adapter? I've searched on that part number and can't find it anywhere. I do see that Apple lists a connector which can do that but there is no part number associated with it.

Apple Cinema Displays and Windows

I know it will work with windows. But what kinda of
controls will I get? Since there is no controls on
the monitor it seems besides brightness. Or it all
depended on the graphic cards to be in control?
What is default color temp then?
Windows XP Pro

WinACP <http://sourceforge.net/projects/winacd/> will give you a monitor control panel in XP.

Pro and air's led display

Hi, Guys
Is there anybody know what is difference between pro's led display and air's?
why air's looks brighter than pro's? since apple upgraded pro on Tuesday, is it going to get exactly same display as air's?
Thanks

Keep in mind, guys, that the larger the display, the tougher it is to light both uniformly and brightly. You have a larger area to shine light out of.
The MacBook Air is a much smaller screen than the 17" MBP and significantly smaller than the 15.4" MBP. All three notebooks use LED backlit screens, but you would expect the smaller screen to be slightly brighter. Achieving the same brightness with the larger screens would require additional LEDs, which would burn more power.
Having said all of that, I find that the brightness on the 15.4 MBP is very very good. Unless I'm outside, I have to turn it down a few pegs to save my retinas!

Xpower II Enabling PCIE GEN3 give error/debug code 94 on LED display

hey guys I have an issue when I enable the PCIE GEN3 in the bios sometimes it boots no problem, but most of the time the system hangs and I get error/debug code 94 on the LED display and couple times when it boots to windows the screen just flickers. But when I disable GEN3 runs good. I have two gtx 690's in sli one in pcie 1 slot and the other in pcie 5 slot also I have the "force enable gen3" from NVidia. I hope somebody can clarify if I can run the 690's in GEN3 PCIE 3.0 on this board. Thanx..

As PirateDog said it is a matter of luck and the individual sample/ combination of board and cpu. Some will work fine some don't. MY 3820 works fine on my X79A-GD65 (8D) and all Nvidia vgas I've tested (GTX670, GTX680 Lightning in SLI and without and GTX780). Still there is no guarantee. If it works fine with Gen 2 on your machine but won't with Gen 3 you're simply out of luck.

How to install a Lion partition, currently have 10.6 and windows 7

Anyone know?

I have not tried it, but first, back up your 10.6 and windows bootcamp install. I think there is software to back up the windows side. Not sure of its name
Use disk utility to create a 3rd partition and then boot from the mac install DVD when it asks you to choose the drive to install the OS select the new created partition this will then result in in two SL partitons onthe same drive.
Boot into one of the SL partitions using startup manager and down load and upgrade to lion. Lion will now be installed on one partition, SL on the other partition will be untouched and you can choose which one to boot from the same way one chooses to boot while holding down the option key.
I know one can have SL installed twice on the same volume under two different partitions
If windows gets messed up you could always run boot camp under SL or lion and reinstall the windows side.
I would though instead have separate drives one for windows and SL and the other for LION.
As I've said I have not tried it.

24" LED Display from DP/HDMI/DVI

I have a 24" LED Display and I'm looking to use it with a homebrew PC. The video card I'd like to buy has output in DVI, HDMI and regular DisplayPort (but not Mini DisplayPort).
I would think that going between regular DP and mini DP would be easy, but I haven't been able to find adapters that go from male DP to female mini-DP. Am I going to need to buy a video card that specifically outputs in mini-DP?
Thanks

Does 24" LED Display support HDCP?

Recently attempted to rent a movie from the iTunes store and the movie will not play and i get a message indicated one of more of my displays does not support HDCP (High bandwidth Digital Content Protection) I use a 24" LED display to extend my desk top from my 13" MacBook Pro (Mid 2009 build). Anyone experienced this issue? All firmware is up to date and I am running OS X Mountain Lion.
Thanks...

Thanks for the reponce Keanu, I have done a bit more to understand the issue and you are correct it has nothing to do with my LED display and everything to do with the mini display port of my MacBook Pro. The port does not support HDCP. This is really a bummer because there is no firmware update that will fix the issue either.
Thanks again...
