Mac pro and gateway 24 inch display

No more sleep issues as this 2400 gate way works perfect with my pro which has the 7300 gt which is incompatible with some displays with dvi as far as sleep goes

Hi-
The OEM graphics cards have two DVI ports. To use your displays, if DVI, no adapter is needed. If ADC, then a DVI to ADC adapter is needed.
VGA monitors require a DVI to VGA adapter (included with Mac Pro).

  • Mac pro and viewsonic vp930b lcd display

    mac pro and viewsonic vp930b lcd display
    i have two monitors set up, a viewsonic vp191b and a vp930b lcd, connected via both dvi ports on the mac pro. the vp930b when the computer goes to sleep cycles on and off with the input message. if i put the mac pro to sleep via the menu sleep command, the last graphic/image on that monitor flashes on and off until i power the unit off, then it cycles on and off with the input message.
    the problem is, the mac pro is not letting the display enter full low power mode and is sending some kind of signal still causing a cycle. the monitor works fine on other computers, the G5 i had pervious, and others i test. i tried switching ports and re-routing the cables, same result, the vp930b is still not allowed to enter full low power mode and starts an endless cycle of the monitor going from low power mode back the input mode. i reset the pram yet again and it still occurs. i tested the dvi cable and dvi port of the monitor on a macbook pro, the only other intel mac i have and it worked perfect. i can only conclude my macpro is either defective or incompatible with my viewsonic vp930b lcd display. anyone else using a viewsonic vp930b lcd display with a macpro 2.66. holidays suck when you are having tech issues.

    i tried that. it is only the one display, if i switch ports on the card, it still only does it to the same monitor. since it does not do it when the computer is off or starting up, the second monitor 2 port does not come on until the the login screen is near, and flashes an image on the screen, i know it is somewhere in the hardware or software. the mac pro is sending some signal to the vp930b still when it should not be. i know the displays and mac pro communicate with each other via the dvi link, so it is unique to this display.

  • What graphics card or cards Mac Pro and Dual 30 inch ACD's?

    I am hoping that you can all help with a few questions regarding running two 30 inch displays in a new Mac Pro and using Final Cut Pro, Motion, and After Effects.
    My issue is which card(s) to order... Two NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB or the ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB.
    Can FCP work off of two different Graphics Cards? I would hook one display to each NVIDIA card via the Dual Link DVI port.
    Or with the ATI, I would hook one monitor to the Dual Link DVI and one to the Mini Display Port with the adapter.
    The ATI is obviously a more powerful card individually; but, two NVIDIA cards would allow for each monitor its own "lane," which seems like it would be an advantage.
    Any advice would be great. I am primarily an FCP user and probably hit After Effects for 25% of my work.
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Neither Motion or Color support dual graphics cards.
    FCP used to have issues but they have been addressed in v7 (reportedly).
    The 4870 is the better card by far but don't know if it will support 2 30" monitors. In any case, you are spreading the VRAM over a lot of pixels. You'd probably have better response driving 2 24" monitors.

    fwiw - I don't see the benefit of gigantic monitors. They take up an enormous amount of desktop space, draw a small city's worth of power and don't offer that many more pixels.

  • Mac Pro and Lucite 23" cinema display turns all white when starting up the

    I have a friend that has a 2.6 MacPro and a ADC 23" cinema display with adapter. When ever he starts the computer the screen turns all white and locks ups ? Any ideas what's causing it ?

    Try Resetting the PRAM (Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R on start-up), some of the basic monitor parameters are stored there, maybe it'll be enough, and its an easy and harmless procedure.

  • HT6114 I just updated the last version of OS X Mavericks on my Mac Pro and my Thunderbolt display is not working correctly

  • Will mac pro and monitors ordered together ship at the same time?

    Will Mac Pro and Thunderbolt monitors, if ordered together, ship at the same time? Or will they ship the in-stock monitors now initiating the Applecare start date for the whole order even though the Mac Pro is not expected to ship until sometime in March?

    I ordered the new Mac Pro (model 6.1) on December 18, 2013 along with a 27 in. Apple thunderbolt display.  The fully maxxed out new Mac pro shipped on January 8, 2014 and arrived January 13, 2014.  My Thunderbolt display shipped within 1-2 days of placing the order, i.e. the week of December 18th and arrived before Christmas.  A few days after receivng my new Mac Pro, I received the Apple Care paperwork and both the new Mac Pro and the Apple Thunderbolt display were listed with a start date of January 7, 2014, i.e. the day that my new Mac {ro was prepared for shipment -- not the day my thunderbolt display was shipped.

  • New Mac Pro and Apple Cinema Display

    Warning, for those of you upgrading to the new Mac Pro and you plan on using your old Cinema Display, you will not get the maximum resolution out of the display. In fact, you only get 1650 x 800--which of course is way under utilizing install resources and on top of that not a great picture. Even using recommended set up (mini display to DVI adaptor) does not help. You need a Thunderbolt Display for best video performance. Unless someone out there knows a way to do this--be prepared also to buy a new display.

    Turbostar, it is the Apple 30 inch cinema display. Yes it works but the max resolution is 1650 X 800 which while acceptable does not get me 2560 x 1600 which my D500 GBUs would deliver. The new Pro is optimized for a Thunderbolt display, I am using the correct  connection protocols as recommended by Apple on their web page for this system. There is a specific note in Apple support noted that Cinema displays will only  provide xxxx resolution on the new Mac Pro's. Corsair.

  • HT4413 To transfer everything from my Mac mini to a new Mac Pro do I need two displays? Once I have confirmed my mini is open while pressing T can I then disconnect my Cinema Display from the mini and connect it to the Pro to continue the transfer?

    Can I set up my Mac mini to transfer its contents to a new Mac Pro and then disconnect my Cinema Display and use it connected to the Pro to complete the transfer?  Do I actually need two displays to manage the transfer?

    It helps have 2 monitors, so that you can monitor data XFER, just my experience. If nothing else it allows you keep am eye on what is going on.

  • New Mac Pro and LED cinema display

    Sorry if this has been asked before, I tried searching for it but none of the topics answered my question specifically enough.
    I have a 24" Apple LED Cinema Display purchased less than a year ago. Will it connect to a new Mac Pro and what happens to the power cable that's attached to the LED display?

    I have a 24" Apple LED Cinema Display purchased less than a year ago. Will it connect to a new Mac Pro
    Yes. All the standard cards that come in the Mac Pro have one Mini DisplayPort. The 24"LED display will plug into that.
    and what happens to the power cable that's attached to the LED display?
    It is not used if you don't have a MacBook.

  • Extend the distance between Mac Pro and display

    I'd like to know how to extend the distance between my Mac Pro and its Cinema Display. The Mac is early 2008 as is its display I think. I need a distance of about 5metres.

    yes-get a DVI Dual Link Extension cable M/F or M/M. I think you can get 'em around 25 feet max. then you'd need a gender changer, maybe......
    depends what you want to pay, though.*cough* monoprice*cough*
    just my opinion

  • Mac Pro and two new Apple LED Cinema Display 27" brightness control

    Hi all,
    Have been using my new Mac Pro (HD5770) with one 27" display for a while and am loving it and to make my work easier I got one more 27" display but how do I change the brightness on the second display? Only the first one can be changed and it's a big difference in the colors on the displays.
    With Best Regards / Christian

    Make sure you have the display update installed. Look for the ambient light sensor control in Displays system preference to see if it's installed.
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1107>
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4293>
    Turn off mirroring.
    Do you have brightness slider for both displays?
    Try unplugging the USB cable for one display so you can adjust the brightness on the other.

  • If I buy the Mac pro and iMac combine it together would it be faster?

    If I buy the Mac pro and iMac combine it together would it be faster or I just buy the mac pro and Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch)?

    If you buy a Mac Pro 2013, use the iMac for casual stuff and use the Mac Pro for media creation work.
    Maxed out iMac with 4-core 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD PCIe is nice.
    Mac Pro with 6-core 64GB dual graphics for $1000 more might run rings around it.
    Why not look them both up on Geekbench.
    Some people really need and like having two systems, maybe laptop (Air) and a more powerful system.

  • Four monitor setup on 2013 mac pro using old 23" Cinema Displays

    My current monitor setup on a 2009 mac pro is four monitors.  Three 23" Apple Cinema Displays (aluminum, mid 2000's) and one large Sony HDTV mounted to the wall as a fourth monitor.
    I achieve this via 2 Geforce 120 video cards, each with a mini display port and a Dvi port each.
    My question is, can I retain this same exact monitor setup on a new 2013 Mac pro cylinder?  If so, what adapters will be needed, and do they all plug into the thunderbolt ports?
    Hearing all kinds of nightmares about multiple monitor problems with the new MP so want to be sure this will work before I drop big bucks.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the quick reply!
    For the Tv I'm currently going VGA out of that to a Dvi adapter into the old Mac Pro.  The 3 Cinema Displays are all ether direct Dvi to the video card and two I have to use a Dvi to mini display port adapter.
    So for the new Mac Pro, assuming I don't use the HDMI port, I would need Dvi to minidisplayport adapters for each of the 3 cinema displays and a VGA to minidisplayport for the TV?
    EDIT: And the mini display ports may as well all be active I guess, and they need to plug into the usb bus for power?
    Thanks

  • What is better Mac Mini or Mac Pro and 4K 40" screen or iMac 5K for work with Exel

    I am working on Macbook pro retina for around 16 hours a day,  it is ok but the screen is to small. I am opening about 25 - 30 EXCEL windows, 20 - 25 safari windows at the same time. Excel windows are small, they only show 40 rows and S column   Now I am considering buying  iMac 5k ( but the screen is only 27", however a very high resolution but I think that fonts and digits displayed may be too small ). I am also considering Mac Mini or Pro with 40" 4K TV ( 4k computer monitors are 27 - 31" , so better idea would be purchasing iMac 5k ) . The problem is that 40 - 42" TV don't have Display Port ( I can't find  it anywhere )
    Please help me to choose what would suit my needs better. I need large screen to work comfortably with an Excel sheets.  What is better? Mac Mini or Mac Pro and 4K 40" screen or iMac 5K for work with Excel ?. The other problem I have is that when I spend  16 hours at work with retina macbook , my eyes are ok. Using the  30'' Dell screen 2560/1440 my eyes are tired after 2 hours.
    Thanks for your help on advance
    Best regards

    Currently you can only get 4 K at 30 Hz via HDMI. Some users have reported jerky curser movement because of the 30 Hz.
    I would go for the 5K iMac. You can add a second screen at 4K.
    FaceTime HD camera
    Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 3840 by 2160 pixels on an external display
    Support for extended desktop and video mirroring modes
    The Mac Mini supports:
    Support for up to two displays at 2560 by 1600 pixels, both at millions of colors
    Thunderbolt digital video output
    Native Mini DisplayPort output
    DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter (sold separately)
    VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (sold separately)
    Dual-link DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (sold separately)
    HDMI video output
    Support for 1080p resolution at up to 60Hz
    Support for 3840-by-2160 resolution at 30Hz
    Support for 4096-by-2160 resolution at 24Hz
    The 2013 Mac Pro can use three and more displays:
    Mac Pro (Late 2013): Using multiple displays - Apple Support
