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.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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???

  • HT204388 can you connect a GATEWAY TOWER to a MAC 23in CINEMA MONITOR?

    can you connect a GATEWAY TOWER to a MAC 23in CINEMA DISPLAY?

    Hi, likely you can, but which 23" is it, one requires an expensive DVI-> ADC connector, not the cheaper ADC->DVI connector, the later one has DVI already.
    Then it depends what output your Gateway has for Video.

  • Can you mirror a Mac Mini to an AppleTV 3 when the mac mini is not connected to a display?

    Hello, I have an AppleTV 3 connected to my television and a late 2012 Mac Mini that is not connected to a display/monitor/tv, but I use it as my iTunes server to stream media to the appletv .  However, I was hoping I could mirror the Mac Mini to the AppleTV in order to see Safari and regular Hulu on the television, but when I try, the picture is scrambled and crashes the mac mini.  I turn on airplay mirroring using the Rowmote application on my iphone since I cannot see what the mac mini is displaying.
    Additionally, I tried connecting the mac mini to a 2nd hdmi port in the television, while the appletv is connected to the 1st hdmi port, but the image was also scrambled with mirroring turned on.  My television also has a VGA port that can connect to the Mac Mini, but I figure the same problem will occur and have not bought the DVI to VGA cords.
    Is there a way to mirror a mac mini to an appletv without the mac mini connected to a separate display and if so, what am I doing wrong?
    Thank you for the responses, I appreciate any help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).
    On the basis of the specifications you have given for your set up, mirroring should work.

  • 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.

  • My mac mini says "no display connected".  I disconnected it earlier today, but it's connected now.

    About this mac / more info / graphics and didplays says "no display connected"

    Actually, I tried a numbner of things:
    disconnected and re-connected cables
    restarted and reset PRAM
    put to sleep and re-awakened
    fixed permissions, dumped cache's
    complete shutdown, wait ten seconds
    the last one seemed to do the trick.

  • 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.

  • Can a latest Mac Book Air get connected to a display screen?

    Presentation at meetings require Mac Book Air get connected to a display screen.
    A Mac Book Pro is possible to get connected to a display screen using a A1307 adopter.
    Does any one know if the latest Mac Book Air connectable to a display screen using A1307 adopter or anyother means? I would be oblighed to know the possibility prior to buy one.
    Regards

    The Thunderbolt port doubles as a Mini-DisplayPort. Thunderbolt is not the same as Firewire. However, Apple does sell a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor so you can connect Firewire devices to the computer. Thunderbolt devices may be daisy-chained, but a display monitor must be the last device on that chain.
    According to what I found the A1307 adaptor is Mini-DisplayPort to VGA. It will not connect to a Firewire port.

  • 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.
