Mac 16" Color Display M1298 connect to G5 F9455LL ???

Hi ...
Anyone know if a M1298 16" Apple display can be made to work with a G5 F945LL?
regular DVI to VGA connectors don't work.
Monitor resolution is 832x624 @ 75 hz
thanks
dean

Grant,
We 'shot the wad' on Psyko's Dual 2ghz G5 and left buying a new monitor for another day. A 1987 20" Mac Super Match was plug and play. Almost 20 years of intercompatability. Some of that old stuff is still good stuff.
An interesting obsevation, the site you listed showed only multi-sync models. The word "Match" was the marketing name for the Sony Trinitron multi-sync monitor, Super Mac was the non-multi-sync model 20" that was available in 640 x 480 resolution, for the blind, or 1024 x 768 to take advantage of those wonderful extra inches.
I know that we have had other monitors connected to the G5 using that adapter to get half way but I cannot guarantee that none of them were fixed frequency. Time to go test a few to be sure.

Mac M2943 color display connects to G3 tower

Hi,
Does anyone know if the Apple M2943 color display will run on the G3 using a OS9.2? If so what would I need to connect?
HBMB

If your computer is a beige G3, you can plug it in with a DA-15 cable, which is also referred to as a DB-15 cable. For a blue and white G3, you need an adapter to connect the VGA port on the computer to the DA-15 port on the monitor. If you got some software with the monitor, don't install it on a Mac OS 9 system, as it is not compatible with Mac OS 9.

Trouble loading Mac driver for Display Adapter (connecting Mac to flat screen TV)

Howdy:
I'm trying to connect my Mac (OSX 5) to a flat screen TV. To do so I just bought a USB 2.0 to HDMI® Display Adapter w/ Audio (1920 x 1080). The mini CD containing the DisplayLink software drivers that came with the unit won't fit in my Mac CD drive. I then tried to download the correct driver from the DisplayLink website, "DisplayLink USB Graphics Macintosh Driver" which appears to be appropriate for OSX 5 (at http://www.displaylink.com/support/mac_downloads.php). This proceeds through the installation steps, then bombs out with the error message that "The following install step failed: run preinstall script for DisplayLink software. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
In the hopes of finding a compatible driver, I looked for an earlier version of the driver on the DisplayLink site, but couldn't find one.
Help!

Your 20" 2007 iMac has a mini-dvi video out. Forget about using usb and installing drivers and just use a mini-dvi to HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable instead.

Then connect your audio line out (headphone) to your TV's audio in and you should be set to go.

Apple 16" Color Display with 15" Aluminium Powerbook?

I have pulled my old Mac 16" Color Display out of the shed, only to discover that my 15" powerbook Al running 10.4.6, once connected via DVI-VGA and VGA-Apple VGA, won't show the necessary 832 x 624 resolution option, so I can't use it.
When I connect my older Pismo powerbook running under 10.3 via VGA-Apple VGA, it does show the necessary resolution!
Is this a a symptom of 10.4, the DVI adaptor or the video card? Can I copy some driver or something from 10.3 to 10.4 to add support for 832 x 624?
Brendan

I think you are trying to use equipment that is just too far behind your modern PowerBook. The Apple 16 inch display was sold 1991 to 1994.
The computer-end of its cable provides a code at startup that a Mac with a similar connector would use to determine what display is attached, and what resolutions are appropriate. Perhaps the adapters you are using cannot manage to pass that information through in a coherent way.
More modern displays with a VGA (three-row) connector use a DDC side-channel to negotiate their capabilities with the computer system.
On the other hand, perhaps the PowerBook simply cannot do that resolution. If the 16 inch display were a multi-Sync display, there might be another resolution you could use.

Ipod w/color display not recognized by Mac

I cannot get my Mac to recognize a new ipod w/color display, which has previously only been formatted to a PC.
I used to have my ipod w/color display linked to my Mac, but, then it was stolen. My friend, who had the same exact ipod, gave me hers, which is the one I am now attempting to use on my Mac. She had it linked to an out-of-date version of itunes on her PC. I am aware this could be the issue.
However, on top of this, the new ipod has some battery issues. I have not been able to get my computer or charger to recognize it; when I plug it in to either it does nothing. It only works when attached to ihome or a car charger. I took the ipod to my local Genius Bar, who was able to get it to come to life when attached to their Mac. Ultimately, they restored it but told me that the battery was corrupted (they said that it was fully charged but the battery was still reading itself as dead, thus not turning on).
Why can I not get my Mac to recognize it? If I have it connected to my Mac, shouldn't it come to life when I plug it in? If I can't get it to come to life, how can I update it? Will a new battery fix any of this???

I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help!

I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help! Further info: I am a complete newbie to Mac. Had three macs prior to 2000 then four PCs. Just come back and struggling a bit with the unfamiliarity. On my old PC laptop I could simply switch from the laptop screen to the large external monitor (and back) with the F4 function key. While I can get the background image from my MBA to display, that's it. Until I noticed on the far left of the external monitor, the very edge of one of the web pages I was on. So Idragged it over to display in the centre. But that's all that's there. And now I have gone out of those web pages but they are still displaying on the monitor. There is some wierd disconnect. I'm sure it is just a setting thing. Will keep searching for answer but any advice welcome!

Your dsplay is getting extended onto the external monitor. Chcnage the setting to duplicate it or only display on the external monitor and you should be fine,
Let me know if this worked for you.

Severed connection when Mac Pro's display sleeps

So I have a Mac Pro and a Macbook connected in a network via the ethernet I use to access the internet. Shared some files out, everything works fine and dandy.
BUT,
when the Mac Pro's display goes to sleep the connection is lost. I noticed the Mac Pro takes considerably longer to awaken it's display then does my Macbook, might this have something to do with it - that is, does the entire comp just go to sleep with it's display?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My approach would be to first remove any non-apple USB devices. Unplug any monitors from the USB connections and other USB peripherals. Restart. If it's still there, start from a second account. Create one if you don't have one. If it disappears then it's a software issue in your admin user directory. Still there? Start from your DVD. If it's still there then it's hardware and time for a repair. If it disappears then it's software and the approaches are many and varied. You might try resetting your graphics card to ensure it's well connected.

Mac OS X 10.4: Error -36 alert displays when connecting to a Windows server

A user meet the above problem connecting to Windows 2003 server but have no this error if connected to Windows 2000 Server.
According to the above solution, will you configure Windows 2003 server or just configure user's Macintosh platform?

We could both be right on this one; it depends on your setup. By default, if you're running a domain then the Domain Controller is:
*Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always) Policy Setting: not defined*
That defaults to the Group Policy setting, which is enabled.
The local computer group policy for Windows Server 2003 is:
*Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always) Security Setting: disabled*
I'm referencing this KB article on Microsoft's website: <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887429>.
This does not take into consideration that you may have upgraded from Windows 2000 Server to Windows Server 2003.
Regardless, you seem to have already eliminated this as a possibility as you mention below.
In my case, user can connect to win2003 server without problem in the same LAN 192.168.8.x. If connect it from remote lan 192.168.10.x (e.g. smb://192.168.8.250/artwork) error -36 will appear. Since remote lan is connected to local lan by secured VPN, all traffic or any ports are allowed to passe through VPN.
Rather than a server or client problem I would speculate your VPN connection is the problem. Do you have port TCP 445 open or blocked at your VPN concentrator? I believe this needs to be open.
Hope this helps!

Best MAC 10.6 Color Display Profile for use with Adobe Illustrator CS5

Hi everyone,
Which Color display profile should I choose for my iMAC (10.6) using Illustrator CS5? I need the colors to appear as accurate as possible when exporting PDF files.
Thank you!

Diane,
The only Monitor profile you should ever use is a device-specific one created for your particular monitor.
If you have not calibrated and profiled your monitor, thereby creating a monitor profile in the process, used the canned one provided by the manufacturer of youor monitor.

Mac mini won't connect to internet despite displaying wifi connection

My Mac Mini says it is connected to the internet, but when I attempt to load a website it just continuously says the webpage is loading for a few minutes until eventually saying "This webpage is not availabe" (Chrome).
The internet works fine on all of the other devices in the apartment (iMac, Macbook Pro x 2, iPhones, Windows laptop, PS3, etc.).
I have tried to find the answer elsewhere on the internet but nothing has seemed to work.
When I run diagnostics, on the lefthand side the ISP, Internet, and Server dots go from green to red every few seconds. When they turn red they each say "Failed" underneath them.
I have no idea what the issue could be. The Mac Mini is running OS X Mavericks and its software is up to date.
Another point to mention is that, even if the wi-fi is working on the other devices, if I reset the wi-fi it occassionally works on the Mac Mini for a couple of minutes or so.

First off you are making the common mistake of confusing the WiFi LAN (Local Area Network) with the internet (a.k.a. WAN or Wide Area Network). Your LAN is the gateway to the internet. It is entirely possible to have a solid connection to the LAN and all the devices on the LAN without having an internet connection.
When you say "..reset the wifi.." did you reset everything or just the router?
The correct procedure would be to
begin with the devices on the LAN (WiFi network) and power each of them down,
then power down the router,
if there is a separate modem end by powering it down.
Give everything a good 30 seconds or so
power up the modem and wait for it to connect and stabalize (all the lights quit flashing.)
If there is a separate router then power it up and wait for it to stabalize,
next power up the mini and wait for it to connect then test to see if it is connecting to the internet.
Finally, one at a time power up each of the other network devices waiting for each to connect before going to the next.
It is important that you reset everything and the order in which you reset the various network devices is CRITICAL.

Macintosh 16" Color Display

When I connect our old Macintosh 16" Color Display to our mini, all I get is garbled video. Booting in Safe Mode and from CD doesn't help.
Any suggestions? I'd hate to see the old Trinitron go to waste...
The monitor has an old DB-15 connector, so we've used the mini's DVI-VGA adapter, coupled to a VGA-Mac adapter.
Thanks!

I don't know how much of a techie you are but one sure fire way to see if it will work at all is to take a second computer and establish a VNC connection between the mini and the second computer. In this way you will be able to remotely try all the available resolution choices in Display Preferences on the mini and hopefully one of them will cause the screen on the 16" monitor to lock in and give a useable image. Once it is locked in, the setting should stay put.

Why 262K Color display on MBPRO 15/2.33 CTO?

My last post was blocked for some reason, which I have brought to the attention of corporate level.
Again, is anyone having issues with there display?
My display is grainy and it could be due to the fact that the AUO made display model # B154PW01 V0 only can support 262K colors or it is the way the display was assembled.
Also, when I switch my display color to thousands my active windows leaves something like trails when I move them around. The “trails” stay until I go back over them.
What can this mean?
My display is having real problems. All of my colleagues that I am traveling with notice my display issues as well. They all have PC laptops but my MBP sure isn’t convincing them to switch to Mac with a display like the one I have.
In addition, why is it I can connect this MBP to an external display I get no grain?

It's not due to the type of display used; I have no trails on my MBP.
You should demonstrate your issue to the staff of the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or other servicing Apple dealer, or contact AppleCare.

Messed up color display and resolution because of mini-DVI to video adapter

Once I connected the mini-DVI to video adapter to the tv and got weird colors on my screen for a while but then it worked out, then after a while I disconnected the cable and turned my computer off. After that, everytime I turned my macbook on, the color is fine for two seconds and then it turns into a weird offset color, really bright colors, kinda sketchy and just a few colors, and a weird resolution and display obviously, but then I just connect my Mini-DVI to video adapter and disconnect it again (quickly) and the color returns to normal. How can I make the normal colors stay and not have to connect the mini-DVI to video adapater everytime I want to see the normal color display and resolution??
please help!

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on Seeing, turn off the White on Black, VoiceOver, and Zoom options, and drag the Contrast slider all the way to the left. If the issue persists, create a new folder on the desktop, drag half of the items from the Library/Preferences/ folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon into it, and narrow down the files until you've isolated the one responsible.

IPod with Color will not connect to G5

I recently bought a used iPod with Color display with a 60 GB drive for use in the car. I have a BMW with the cable that accommodates an iPod. I plugged it into the G5 with all my music on it and.... nothing.
I tried plugging it into my work PC and it connected. Then I went over to my daughter's new iMac and it connected perfectly. While I was there, I decided to "restore" the iPod since it was used and I was not sure what might have been on it previously. Restore went great.
Went over to my G5 and plugged it in. This is when it gets weird. As many of you know the G5 has three USB ports. One conveniently located in front and two in back. Obviously my first try was the one in front...... again, nothing. So I tried the two in back. The top one gave me..... nothing. But the bottom one seemed to like the iPod and it connected. I gave the iPod a new name and merrily started loading it up with music. I got 4 or 5GB worth onto it when all of a sudden I got the dreaded "Device Removal" warning.
I sort of froze and wondered what to do next. Since I had already gotten the "Device removal" warning I decided that unplugging it would be ok. So I did so and wait a few minutes before connecting the iPod once more. It connected alright but now I got a message saying that "iTunes cannot read the content of iPod "iPod Color". Go to summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings".
So I click OK and look at the summary. The iPod is listed on the left under devices but now the name is displayed simply as "iPod" and not iPod Color as I had named it. Capacity is n/a (can't read it) and software version is shown as 1.2.1. Serial number is also listed. I hadn't transferred much music onto it yet so I decided to just go ahead and restore it.
I got the "Are you sure you want to restore the iPod.." message and I click "restore". At this moment nothing happens for about 2 minutes. iTunes is frozen and then I get a message that pops up and says, "The iPod "iPod" (note the wrong name) could not be restored because it could not be found". I click ok, I unmount the iPod and here we sit.
I have tried this over and over several times on this G5 with EXACTLY the same results. I have tried two other cables and we get the same thing. I also tried restarting the G5 with the iPod plugged into the USB port that works and got the same thing with one minor variation. When I went to restore the iPod this time, it actually started the process. We got the blue horizontal barber shop pole and I really though we had a break through, but after about 15 seconds I got the message that "The iPod "iPod" (still the wrong name) could not be restored because it could not be found.
I'm not quite sure what to try next. I can't decide if the problem is with the OS (USB ports not all working) iTunes itself (maybe I can install a different version?) of the iPod. The iPod by the way was sold to me by a guy on eBay who reconditions the devices. He seems pretty competent so I think the iPod itself is in good working order.
Anyone have any suggestions? I appreciate your ideas.
John

Physician - heal thyself!!!!!!
Well after pick away at this problem for a few weeks (alone) I think I have solved the problem. Through my countless iterations of trying every combination of plugging and unplugging various USB devices in various USB ports, I realized that the one combination I had not tried was unplugging EVERY device from the G5 itself including the keyboard. But wait, I need the keyboard to input text into the computer don't I? I had completely forgotten that there are two USB ports on the back of my Apple monitor. So I plugged the keyboard into the port on the monitor and guess what? The G5 not only recognized the iPod but allowed me to restore factory settings and actually sych it with iTunes.
So, what I learned is that this G5 will not work with this 60 GB iPod with Color screen unless it is the ONLY USB device plugged into tone of the three USB ports. Right - I am sure the Apple Engineers view this as a "feature". Shyaa - right!
Well, it not idea but at least it works. It's pain to unplug every other USB device when you want to sych your iPod but I suppose that's the price we pay.
Is the question answered? No, not really. I still don't know if it's a hardware problem, an OSX problem, or an iPod problem. My guess is that since it's a G5 running a Power PC chip, the fellas at Apple won't give this a second look.

Mac mini dual display - blue screen flashes frequently

I recently purchased a mac mini i7 model, with fusion drive.
I have upgraded the RAM to 16GB.
I have also purchased 2 monitors, both are LG 22EA63V LED.
I connected one monitor direct HDMI to HDMI.
The other monitor is connected from Thunderbolt to HDMI.
Everything worked amazingly well for the first few weeks. Now, not so much....
I frequently have the screen freeze and flash blue, and then resume as normal dual display mode.
Other times the screen will flash blue and then come back as a single display. In this case the Thunderbolt to HDMI display appears as primary display, while the HDMI display loses connection.
If I unplug the HDMI display completely, the blue screen flashing does not happen at all.
So, what could be causing this problem, and how do i fix it?

Hi Matt,
See if there's some setting on the HDMI monitor for Input Source, or things like Auto-tune.
