New Viewsonic Monitor and My G4 won't work together?!?

I purchased a E70f-b CRT viewsonic monitor for a G4 mirrored door mac and I am having crazy shutdown problems. I have spoke to the techs from were I purchased it and the viewsonic techs and basically I am still stuck. Basically the G4 will not shutdown when this monitor is hooked up. I have calibrated and used the driver/colorsync for the monitor and I still am having problems. When I shutdown my computer, it will rev up and boot back up with this monitor. I have tested this monitor on another exact G4 and it does the same thing. On the first G4, I seem to have more errors and lock ups. I am trying to find out if I need to send this back/exchange or different model. Help

There is a problem with the OEM 9000 Radeon and some LCD VGA displays. Could be affecting yours.
Apple even has a tech note on this.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61697
A Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors), Power Mac G4 (FW 800) or Power Mac G5 computer may restart after the computer has been shut down when it is connected to certain third-party VGA and DVI displays using the DVI connector on the computer.
Symptom
The computer restarts after it is shut down. This occurs when certain third-party VGA and DVI displays are connected to the computer's digital video interface (DVI) port.
Products affected
* Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors)
* Power Mac G4 (FW 800)
* Power Mac G5
* Some third-party DVI displays
* Some third-party VGA displays (with DVI to VGA adapter)
* Apple graphics cards with both an ADC and DVI connector

  • I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there.  I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working.  Please help.

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

  • New to MAC and Quicktime player won't work

    Let me begin with the fact I just converted to a Mac using the Snow Leapord 10.6.6. So I am still learning the ropes. When I click on my Quicktime player icon on my docking station nothing happens and the application never opens. Shouldn't it open? I am used to the PC when you click on the Q icon the player would load. If it is suppose to open the player how do I fix that, since the Quicktime 10 player came standard on my macbook pro? Thanks so much!
    AKA: mac virgin

    Hello - I have the same problem as Matt since upgrading to Snow Leopard.
    My QT icon shows in the dock and the QT options are at the top of the page, but
    none of my videos work, and QT was already in place when I purchased my iMac.
    I've tried right-click and/or holding on the QT icon, but it doesn't give me the
    option to "remove from dock". I can't remove the icon from the dock at all.
    Any help would be gratefully received.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint.  I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason.  The error says "an unexpected error occurred.  PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF.  How do

    Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint.  I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason.  The error says "an unexpected error occurred.  PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF.  How do I fix this?

    Is there a log file in the document folder indicating what the problem was. There are a number of reasons that PDF creation may fail. You can try to print to the Adobe PDF printer to see if there is any indication in that process. The processing is different, but the same problems may show up with both processes.

  • I bought Cool Edit Pro v. 2 many yrs ago.  loaded onto new PC and now it won't work

    It now thinks it's a "trial version" and won't let me use it.  It's NOT A TRIAL VER, I PAID FOR IT.  The Adobe support guys don't want to help, I need a work around

    I loaded it using the original CD and license number.  My old PC had Windows XP but my new PC has Windows 7.  It worked for a while, but then up pops the "trial version" stuff saying I used up my 12 free hours.  It wasn't a trial version, I bought it years ago and have been using it all along

    Where did you reload it from? Do you still have the original CD and serial number? Maybe it isn't compatible with your new PC so we need a bit more info to see if it is compatible.

  • Lightroom 3 and PSE10 layers won't work?

    I recently purchased Lightroom 3 and installed on my computer running Windows 7.  I already had Photoshop Elements 10 installed and that and Nikon Capture NX2 were what I used for editing.  PSE8 is also still installed on my computer.  When I choose to send a photo from LR3 to PSE10 for editing, all the layers choices are grayed out.  I have searched, I promise, but have not found the answer for these two combinations.  Can someone help me please?  Thank you.  All the versions are updated.

    Thanks. That did it.  Now, if I could figure out about a thousand other things, I'd be all set!

  • Middle click and right click won't work?

    Previously i used nightly but i uninstalled it due to it's unstable. When installing firefox, everything is ok. But i realize my middle click and right click won't work. I have check the "About:config" page and the "browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick" is "true". I try to reinstall it but no effects.
    Please help. i can't open new tab or downloading images with this issues.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.
