Neovo X 20 DVI issue

Hope someone can assist with this...
Having disconnected the monitor's Digital RGB input to connect a data projector, I can no longer get the G5 to show itself via the monitor's digital input...the analogue input still works via the VGA adaptor from the Mac...weird.
Neovo say that the digital and analogue inputs share a card, so if one is working, the other should be too. I have a second identical system, and so was able to determine that it's not the cable...any amount of restarts don't work either...HELP!!!!!

Hi folks,
Thanks for your responses !
I managed to solve my problem accidently but I am not sure why or how this was posing the issue ...
The solution was adding the ~language attribute in the service file of my second application. My first application is using that attribute as well to set the default language to dutch... My global service file did not contain that setting ...
That's it ... now the logon page is not showing anymore ...
Very strange

Mini Displayport to Dual-Link DVI Issues on 30" Cinema Display

I know this problem has been around for a while, and that there are several other discussion on it, but my goal here is to point out that even in mid-2011, this issue remains.
Here's my configuration:
30" Cinema Display
Dual-link MDP to DVI adapter with 1.03 firmware (purchased August 2011 from an Apple Store)
New-ish MacBook Pro (purchased December 2010) with Mini Displayport
Symptoms:
On dark areas of the screen, DVI noise appears (horizontal flickers of light coming and going at random)
Attempted Fixes:
Unplugging the display and plugging it back in to the computer (failed)
Restarting the computer (failed)
Tightening the connections on the Dual-Link DVI adapter (failed)
Sleeping the display and awaking it (failed)
Some suggest getting a new 27" Cinema Display with native Mini Displayport/Thunderbolt support. I actually have one, but I cannot tolerate the glare on the glossy displays, so I'm "downgrading" to a 30" Cinema Display.
Is there any remaining hope for this issue?

I still cannot understand why you would return everything... Ultimately you want this computer right? Once the bugs on the adapter are fixed are you gonna go back and re-buy it?
Seems like a lot of time spent out of spite and not for good reason. Me, this is the best Mac I've ever owned (and I've owned many. no, really.) and I'm happy to wait for this adapter w/ this machine in stead of going back to my other box.
I observed a similar client of mine w/ an iPhone... after the first week, he didn't like the keyboard and a few other things, so he took it back and went back to using his Blackberry -only to dump the Blackberry again for the iPhone, because he realized that the iPhone still did more things better than the Blackberry.

Mini DisplayPort to DVI issues

I just recently purchased the new aluminum MacBook, having previously owned one of the very last iterations of the white MacBooks.
With my old white MacBook I had purchased a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter, and was using that to connect to a DVI to HDMI cable, and that cable was going into my HDTV. I would select and check Overscan under the Display Options of my HDTV, which appeared as PDP-xx50SX under my MacBook, and two black bands would be added to the top and bottom of my MacBook's display, and I would get a full screen crisp image on my HDTV that I was very satisfied with, I would use this to view TV Shows and Movies on Hulu without any issues.
I no longer have that MacBook as a few days ago I got my new aluminum MacBook, and with it my Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. 4 hours ago I wanted to catch up on The Office, so I plugged in my new adapter to the Mini DisplayPort, hooked up my DVI to HDMI cable, and that into my TV, just like I did with my previous MacBook. That was 4 hours ago, and I am still unable to properly configure it like my last MacBook.
I have been beating my head for 4 hours now looking across every forum on the internet, every thread, and every possible way to type out this issue on Google to find any and all results. For some reason I just do not get the Options tab like I was able to on my old MacBook where I could then select the Overscan checkbox.
This is really frustrating, I've tried every possible combination of resolution, mirrored and not, and nothing works like it did with my old MacBook. I simply cannot get a correct full screen image on my HDTV.
Is this a firmware issue? Has it already been addressed and I somehow missed it? Is there any fix? Is this the cause of DisplayPort? Why wouldn't nVidia's 9400m be able to do the same thing Intel's GMA X3100 did? So many questions, and I didn't know where to turn to so I came here to the Apple Support forums hoping I'd get some resolution or reassurance this is something that will be/is being addressed. The only fixes I've seen online are programs like SwitchResX or DisplayConfigX, but I'm not that technically savvy and would rather not fry my screen, especially when it worked perfectly out of the box with my older MacBook. Help!

I am also frustrated by the new display port. I have purchased a DisPort to DVI connector from the Apple store and the pin configuration is different than previous all other Apple adapters (DVI-I). The 4-ins around the blade are missing in the new adapter. The genius bar said in Orlando that the new adapters are a new version of DVI called DVI-D. So all my previous investment cabling is hosed. I was away from the home 20 so I purchased yet another $29 VGA adapter from the Apple store to complete my mission.
Moral of the sad story - Buy a DVI-I to DVI-D adapter if you own and use a MacBook for presentations. The Apple Store does not carry them.
Hey wait a minute is this tied to the disappearing Firewire connector???
Mike
PS - I was ablt to find a DVI-D to HDMI connector that I will try when I get back home...stay tuned!!

More HDMI to DVI issues

I can't go back to the original software and any restore of the Apple TV always updates the software.
I have a Gateway 42" Plasma DVI TV and after reading a lot on this board, I bought this switcher to use between the Apple TV and my TV:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=101&cp_id=10110&cs_id=1011002&pid=5557&seq=1&format=2
It seemed to work fine (although I only used a few minutes) and then I upgraded the Apple TV software to the latest version. Now the menus have a terrible red tint to them. When you first turn on the Apple TV, it looks fine with the Apple logo in grey on a black background, then as soon as the menu comes up, everything goes red.
Any ideas?
- Mike

I don't think you ever actually had 720p. I just did a search for a review of your model and this article states your TV only supports 480i, 480p, and 1080i.
http://www.hometheater.com/crtdisplays/56/
The review was from 2001 which is almost 10 years ago. It seems many older HDTVs from this era lacked 720p support so if anything I would be thankful that Apple added 480p support so that people with older HDTVs would be fully supported. When the Apple TV only supported 720p output, TVs like yours would have wavy lines and defects in the picture (if it worked at all) because the 720p was not supported by their TVs. There was a huge thread about this and after the update many reported that the addition of 480p output completely fixed the issue.
I'm not sure exactly what you had that made you think it was 720p. Do you actually see a big difference in quality or are you just going off the output resolution number you see in Settings?

GTX 770 hdmi and dvi issue

Somehow hdmi and dvi cables cause random blackouts when not playing games. When i start playing game, it tends to blackout a few times then complete pitch black. The vga cable works. Any idea?

Yes, I initially set it up with the HDMI as the only connection, but I also tested having both DVI and HDMI connected at the same time - in this case it detects the model number of the monitor through HDMI and gives me the option for extended desktop etc - however, if I try selecting duplicate screens and then cycle through the input types on the monitor, when it gets to HDMI the screen is just black.
I'll swap the monitor with my TV when I get back home tonight and see what the results are then.
On other thing issue (probably unrelated) is I get noticeable ghosting, especially when scrolling down webpages (dark text leaves a white silhouette) - I'm using the same DVI cable and monitor that I was on XP, the only difference being the OS and the graphics card.

7900-GTX DVI issue?

Hi!
I have a MSI 7900-GTX card running on a ViewSonic LCD using DVI. I noticed that once I installed the graphics card driver that came with the card, a small, pink strip of pixels appeared on the left side of the screen. This always comes up as soon as Windows boots and turns on DVI (it is on the log-in screen, etc.). Anybody got any idea what causes that? I checked the nVidia settings and found no option that made me believe casues this issue.
Also, where can I find the newest driver for this card? MSI's website has no information about this card in their driver database or on LiveUpdate yet.
Thanks!

Nevermind, false alarm! Downloade the newest driver from nVidias website instead and it is fixed. I guess this was a driver issue afterall. I believe I am running version 84.21. Good news!

Mini dvi issues

My mini dvi worked perfectly until today. Monitor no detected, and no signal on the monitor ( wich work perfectly with my ps3 and on another computer). I found someone with the same problem here but no reply since 2009
I try on windows ( bootcamp) it doesnt work...
thx

I have this problem too. What I have found is that if the vga adpter is connectto a monitor, I can get a signal from the HDMI-DVI adapter. But when I disconnect the vga adapter, the HDMI-DVI signal goes away too. Anybody know what's going on here?

Mac Mini mini-display to DVI issues

I have a late 2012 Mac Mini running OSX Mavericks, and I am currently using an LG Monitor over HDMI. I want to run a second Monoprice tablet monitor from the mini-display using a DVI cable and an Apple mini-display to DVI adapter. Every time I plug it in, both screens go dark and the computer crashes and restarts. The Monoprice monitor works fine when I unplug the LG from the HDMI port and plug in my Monoprice using a DVI to HDMI cable. Also, at one point, I plugged my Monoprice in to the mini-display port using a mini-display to VGA adapter and VGA cable, and it only gave me a 1200 X 800 resolution (The Monoprice is 1440 X 900---I could never get it to display this resolution using the mini-display port).
Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

I used an HDMI to DVI cable to connect an Apple TV to an Acer monitor, so I would expect the same to work for the mini. You'll have to run the audio separately, however, as you won't get audio through DVI.

VGA / DVI issue (Ultrabase?)

Until today I had a laptop and desktop connected top an Avocent SwitchViewDV1 (KWM) Monitor is a Samsung Syncmaster 226cw connected to switch box via DVI and from switchbox outputs by DVI cable to lap top & desktop.
Today received a new X200 ... it has no DVI socket (only 15 pin D type)I thought initially problem solved by adding a DV-I female to 15 pin male gender changer ... although this all physically fits ... nothing displayed on monitor.
2 questions ... is there an alternative 'adapter' or are DVI to VGA cables available ?
Second question ... and probably more important, does the Ultrabase support DVI monitor connection ... if so I might as well wait a couple of days for Ultrabase to arrive.

Osprey, welcome to the forum,
wait for the Ultrabase and order yourself a Display Port to DVI Cable.
Hope this helps

Detect Display DVI issue

I've read every thread on this board about DVI and i'm still at a loss over this query.
The geniuses at my local apple store swear up and down that the macbook pro can output DVI-D dual link video. My Magnavox 42MF230A has the pin set for DVI-D dual link and has shown video sent using said cable in the past. When I hook the DVI-D dual link cable to the DVI output on my macbook pro (which appears to accept any pin set though I might be way off on that) I am unable to "detect display". The system preferences panel searches and then stops without finding the display. Am I doing something wrong or am I being told something wrong at the store?

When you say the cable has shown video in the past, do you mean the combination of your MBP, the Magnavox and that cable worked at one time?
Anyway, a couple of observations:
Dual-link is irrelevant in this set-up. It's not needed. On the other hand, neither should it cause any problems.
I would try and get my hands on another DVI cable to try. As above, it doesn't have to be dual-link. I would also try plugging another DVI device, besides the MBP, into the TV. And finally, I would try plugging the MBP into another DVI-enabled monitor of some kind. This is the only way I can think of to try and isolate where the problem might lay.

ADC-DVI issues ?

I am using Boot Camp on a 2.66 Mac Pro. I have a ADC-DVI adapter on a second monitor, to which I have plugged in my USB mouse. I note that after the last set of updates, when I boot into Win XP, the mouse is off. If I quickly (within 20 seconds or so) go, and unplug and replug in the USB cable from the ADC-DVI adapter, the mouse comes back on. If I wait too long, this doesnt work, and I have no mouse no matter where I plug it into .
Anyone else see this ?
Mad Dog

So can you confirm that this is the adapter you are using, and that the power supply (top item in the picture) is plugged into a live outlet and appears to be providing power to the display?

MacBook odd DVI issue

Hi All,
I have a MacBook 2.2 ghz and have been using it successfully with the mini-dvi to dvi-hdmi cable for the past 3 weeks. I have a 50" Panasonic Plasma and it worked great.
Yesterday (after not using it for about a week) I plugged it in and my MacBook didn't find the display. However, when the TV is off it finds it as usual. Further more, if the macbook is plugged in and the TV is off, then I turn the TV on, I can see the Mac desktop for a split second before it can't find the display again. I tried it on my smaller 27" LCD using the same cables and it worked perfect. I also tried it on a different Hitachi Plasma and when I plugged it in the screen goes blue and flickers and nothing shows up on the screen. The only program I installed was Adobe CS3, which I uninstalled to see if anything would change and it didn't.
Any help would be great!
Also, I specifically remember holding down a key during start up and it booted into the Install Disk which gave me options to repair disk etc. I thought I held down the Option button but doing so boots me into the New Install menu - anyone that could shed light on that as well would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Ben

I would suggest trashing the display preferences and/or repairing permissions to see if your display preference file is corrupt.
Find the files in
/Users/"yourusername"/Library/Preferences/By Host/com.apple.preferences.diplays....
I think each file represents each display, but just to make sure I'd trash them all.
Remember to empty the trash bin because the changes don't take effect until you do that. Might even have to reboot--not sure about that.

Lion 10.8.5 - HDMI over mini dvi issue

since updating my conputer from 10.8.4 to 10.8.5 - my notebook does no longer detect my sony tv or my new computer screen (work fine with VGA cable) did an update with 10.8.5 combo - same problem - cables are working fine on others computers - i do not have a backup with .4 on it so that not even an option to do a restore - pleaese help this is relly anoyinng - it apple beconming like microsoft?

Hi Jaws1431,
I am in the same situation as yours. I ordered a Mini-DVI to HDMI (cheap) adapter to connect my two MacBook to a HDTV.
The first MacBook, under Mountain Lion 10.8.5, isn't working even with all the tips around the net. I haven't tried it under 10.8.4 however.
The other one, under Snow Leopard 10.6.8, is fully working.
Since I want to use the first one with a TV, I'm in trouble.
Two things to do :
- Try with a genuine adapter (if you're in the same situation as mine, aka cheap $3 adapter);
- Try updating to Mavericks (haven't done it myself yet), or go back to Snow Leopard.
I'll let you know when I applied any of those solutions.

[GeForce 6] dvi issues

ok I will try to convey this the best possible way. I have a K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI mother board with an AMD 64 3500+ . I have been using it fine for about 5 months. I have two 6600gt 128 meg PCI cards working in SLI.. My drivers are 77.72. I have been using a CRT monitor and the first ( top ) VGA output. I have had no problems. My problem is that I bought a Hitachi 50V500A 52 inch LCD Projection TV. The TV has a DVI input. I was told I could use this TV as a monitor, but when I try to use the DVI connections in SLI mode, the computer freezes up when the desktop appears. If I use it with the DVI connection and the PC is not in SLI mode, it works fine. But I am not getting the full power of my pc then. It also works fine in s-video mode, but graphics suck. What type of problem could this be? I have looked and looked and can find nothing, any Ideas?

Mini displayport not working for DVI (VGA works)

So I've just received my new MacBook Pro, I ordered it with a mini displayport to DVI dongle.
When I plug this in to my known good DVI monitor, nothing happens no video is sent to the display and the preferences do not show anything.
However when I connect using a displayport to VGA to a VGA monitor it works. I know the displayport adapter is good as I have it working on my 27" iMac.
Could this new MacBook Pro be faulty??
Cheers,
---Guy

Hey. I think there's a big problem with the mini displayport - DVI signal. I have a samsung T220HD monitor which worked fine with my old Macbook. I upgraded to a MBP 15" and I find the same monitor just has dead signal. Aside from the MBP itself, the differences are Snow Leopard and the mini displayport adaptor. I too ordered the adaptor with the MBP but on finding this and reading so many problems on discussions I opted to buy a mini displayport - HDMI adaptor made by NEET - which solved the problem.
However, some wierd things happen when playing games. Resolution (which is otherwise fine) goes dark and displays ugly artifacts. This never happened with the same monitor on a DVI signal using the mini DVI - DVI. I'm guessing either all this is a Snow L prob or a mini displayport thing.
It looks like a recent OS update (10.6.2) was supposed to fix DVI issues but apparently not for me. Apple really really need to sort this out.
