Nvidia 7300GT card compatible with Apple's DVI to VGA Adaptor?

To rephrase, is the Mac Pro's stock Nvidia 7300 GT card able to support the Apple DVI to VGA connector which would allow me to connect a Viewsonics CRT? And will that card also allow me to connect a second CRT for dual monitors?
A temporary setup for a few months until I buy new Apple Displays...
Many thanks,
John

The card used with the adapter allows use of standard VGA monitors. There is always the chance that it won't, due to some irregularity, but I doubt it. Many have posted using VGA monitors and having no issues. Apple issues the adapter for your type of scenario.

Using a VGA monitor with Mac Pro: DVI to VGA adaptor cord & X1900 card

I will be purchasing the MacPro with the ATI Radeon X1900 XT. However, I want to continue using my dual Viewsonic CRT screens till the end of the year until I make the leap to a new LCD display. I know Apple sells a DVI to VGA connector and in fact I believe it to be included as an accessory.
Here is my question:
The graphics card I am buying (the X1900) is designated as a DUAL LINK DVI. The Apple DVI to VGA adaptor cord has a DVI -I SINGLE LINK male connector. Will this DVI-I single link connector properly mate to the female dual link connector on the X1900 graphics card? If it will, I'm probably in business. If it won't, does anyone have an idea for a workaround?
Many thanks, John

The DVI to VGA adapter works fine with the Radeon X1900XT (and the Geforce 7300GT and the Quadro FX4500).
The DVI to Video adaptor works on the Radeon, but not on the two Nvidia cards.

No Apple Remote or Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adaptor included with new MacBooks

Hi!
I just picked up a new (black) MacBook yesterday from the Apple Retail Store in Meadowhall (Sheffield). I was quite surprised to open the box and find that the Apple Remote and Mini-DVI to VGA adaptor cable are now optional items and no longer included in the package. Okay, they're not expensive (an extra £30.00 to add both of them), but I just thought I'd mention it to let potential customers know.
I have to say that I'm very pleased at the speed bump and the 250GB hard drive though (you can never have too much space). Also good to have 2GB RAM out of the box (rather than paying an extra £90.00 for the 2GB model). Excellent!

bford0001 - 15% restocking fee? Did you buy it from an Apple Retail store? I bought a black MacBook from them just under two weeks ago (a 2.2 with 160GB HD and 2GB RAM) and they let me take it back and walk out of the store without charging me anything!
One other thing I have noticed - why has the L2 cache dropped to 3MB from 4MB? I know the processor is more powerful, but doesn't that mean it would just about level out, because of the reduction? I noticed the same for the £1,299.00 MacBook Pro and that on the other two models, it's gone up to 6MB. Anyone know how this would change the performance?

Poor colour depth/banding with Apple Mini-DisplayPort-to-VGA adaptor?

I'm using the Apple Mini Display Port to VGA adaptor to hook my MBP up to a projector in the theatre where I give lectures.
I am getting colour depth/ banding issues - images seem to be displayed in thousands of colours, rather than millions, creating really bad banding problems.
I know it isn't an issue with the projector - for comparison purposes I tried playing a DVD through a DVD player connected to the projector, and then through the MBP connected to the projector, and the diference in colour depth was really noticeable. In fact it was virtually unwatchable through the MBP.
Is there a preference pane I'm missing somewhere which will increase the colour depth?
Is there a better adaptor than the Apple one that I need to buy?
Or is this a problem inherent in the minidisplay port to VGA conversion process?
Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

If your monitor has DVI input, get the DVI adapter. DisplayPort is digital, DVI is digital, but VGA is analog - the signal conversion will result in a (slight) drop in quality.

Mac mini with Apple Mini Display to VGA adaptor

Hello,
I have just purchased a new i5 mac mini, and have started to use it with an HDMI TV. This is great, but I really want to go back to using just my VGA monitor, which is an LGFlatron W2243S.
So, today, with the HDMI plugged in, I put a Apple Mini Display Port to VGA adaptor into the back of the mac mini, hooked it up to the monitor and great. The monitor was recognised, and it actually appeared as a second display.
But then, I pulled out the HDMI lead, and that was the start of the trouble. I now cannot get the LG monitor to work - instead it goes into power saving mode. I have proven the VGA cable, and also noted that the display settings do detect the monitor, but it just keeps going into power saving mode.
Reading on the internet I've found talk of the power from the mini display port being a possible problem.
At the moment then, the HDMI is still plugged in. Any advice on any settings I should be using to get the mini display -> VGA adaptor to work with the monitor? It is obviously working in some form (a) because I can't believe apple would continue to sell a dud product and (b) because it did occur briefly as a second monitor.

I've got some more information which I'm hoping might enable someone somewhere to help!!
So, I've just connected up the monitor again, with success. Both the HDMI and VGA monitor as mirrorred displays.
Then, I removed the HDMI connection, and the VGA monitor stayed on. I was also able to change the resolution successfully on the VGA monitor.
Then I restarted the system. The VGA monitor went into standby and wouldn't wake up from power saving mode (therefore was not able to see the password screen).
Plugged the HDMI back in (as well as the VGA) and restarted. Password screen came up on the HDMI screen. OS started up as normal, then the VGA screen came back to life on mirrored display.
So there is some level of success occuring now, except on restart. It seems as once the OS loads, it sends the signal to the VGA to switch on, but not on the password screen. Note that I do not want the HDMI screen connected - just the VGA. It's really a TV and I want to use it elsewhere.
I also downloaded the DP to VGA firmware update, but even with everything plugged in (and ironically with the VGA on and working!) it says that it cannot find a DP to VGA adaptor!!
This all suggests to me that things work, but that there's something I'm not quite doing right somewhere. My PC connects to the VGA monitor fine, and comes on at power up.
Thanks in hope.

Is NVIDIA GeForce 6600 card compatible with OpenGL 2.0?

Hi there -
Is my GeForce 6600 card compatible with openGL 2.0?
I have some software that tells me it is not and I've just spent lots of money buying it - I did make a quick check on-line before making my software purchase and found out that the whole 6000 series was compatible.
Reading again it says it has been OK for 2.1 from June 2006 onwards. I bought my Mac in May 2006
Can I install a new driver or something (almost sounds like I know what I'm talking about)?
If so is this something I can do or do I have to take my whole machine to the hospital?
I'm not that confident messing with too much technical stuff so treat me like an idiot ... please!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi-
Back from work......
BD has you going the right direction on RAM.
CS4 needs as much RAM as you can throw at it.
Buy only guaranteed Mac compatible RAM.
As for hard drive, getting a TB or so for storage is great, but you also need a fast scratch drive, separate from the system drive.
Improvements to hard drive technology have been made since the G5 was released, so replacing the system drive with a new one is a good idea.
For the fastest system drive, which helps overall performance, the Western Digital Velociraptor 300GB is an ideal candidate.
For more of a budget drive, but still fast, a WD6400AAKS 640GB drive is an overall winner, with fast read and write times, and all that capacity confined to two platters in the drive.
This is one of the keys to the drives performance prowess.
For scratch, you will have large files that are written, changed, erased, as filters, etc. are applied.
PS gobbles drive space even more than it eats RAM.
Again, the WD6400AAKS, or a WD1001FALS 1TB drive is what you should look at.
And when we talk scratch drives, I mean that it does nothing else.
Not for file storage, etc.
File storage needs to be relegated to a third drive for system optimization.
To recap, a fast boot drive (OS and applications only), a scratch drive, and as many file storage drives as you need for multiple copies (min 2) of all work.
As for graphics card, yes there is improvement to be had, especially with regard to OpenGL support in CS4.
PS also leverages the GPU of the graphics card, so power is desired.
A Mac 7800GT, Radeon X1900 G5 Edition, or a flashed Geforce 7800GTX are the three top performing cards.
A Geforce FX4500 is also a possible candidate if your pockets are very deep.
http://www.jcsenterprises.com/Japamacs_Page/Blog/71BBF3EF-9713-4C53-8B80-26771F8 A4087.html
Of the three cards, the 7800GTX is the top card, and is relatively easy to find. The 512MB version is the most desirable.
You will be looking on eBay for Mac compatible PCIe graphics cards in one of the flavors that I have named.

How do i edit my billing info if my credit card associated with apple id expired and i have a duty to app store from the time when i had the old credit card?

how do i edit my billing info if my credit card associated with apple id expired and i have a duty to app store from the time when i had the old credit card?
so the thing is a few days ago i made an app store purchase and i didn't know i was running out of money on my credit card. i realized that only when i tried to purchase another item and it didn't work. nothing special til here. the problem is that meanwhile my credit card was replaced by a new one by the bank because the old one was soon expiring. So the data associated with the old credit card no longer exist.
i tried to edit my billing info associated with my apple id in order to enter the new credit card data, but the system doesn't allow me to do that.
so i can neither pay my purchase, nor edit my info, nor access app store anymore.
what's next? any ideas? thanks

Is the ZAGG keys Universal Keyboard compatible with Apple TV?

is the ZAGG keys Universal Keyboard compatible with Apple TV?

The ZAGG keys Universal Keyboard is a Bluetooth keyboard that the manufacturer states is "compatible with most IOS devices" but does not list Apple TV specifically, though the the different IPADS that are compatible are listed.
I did contact the manufacturer through an online Sales Associate Chat on their website and ironically they could not answer me. They did take my email and stated they will research and get back to me. That was only yesterday, 10/7/13 so I will give it a few days.
I know there are other keyboards available, so maybe I will just research a little more.

Is my CRT TV compatible with Apple TV?

I have a Toshiba 24" (model 24AF42) television with a component video input. It is 3:2, but it displays widescreen DVD's properly. Would it be compatible with Apple TV? It apparently has 525 lines of resolution, if that's helpful.

Thanks for replying, Gino. I've been watching DVD's for years on this TV, and I have the black bars on top and bottom of widescreen movies. On fullscreen 4:3 movies there are no bars, it fills up the screen.
But the setting for that is on my DVD player. It specifically has 3 options- Standard 4:3, Letterbox 4:3, and Widescreen 16:9. I have it set to Standard 4:3 on my DVD player, and that makes fullscreen movies display with no black bars, filling the whole screen and widescreen movies display with black bars.
I think Winston is on the right track, too. If I did connect an Apple TV to my TV using the Component Video Input, it would display with the right and left sides of widescreen movies cut off.
I wouldn't be watching widescreen movies from my Apple TV, though. Maybe eventually when I upgrade my TV, but for now what I want to use Apple TV for is for displaying my photos from iPhoto, watching movies I've created in iMovie, and watching a few (30 or so) music videos I have purchased from ITMS. And of course playing my iTunes music library.
Does anyone know how the Apple TV menu would look on a 4:3 ratio TV? If I'm going to be scrolling through my iTunes library, using menus etcetera, I don't know if the menu or submenu text would be cut off. I also don't know if my photos would display properly. The digital photos are all in 4:3 ratio, I haven't taken any pictures in widescreen mode on my camera yet.

Aperture is not compatible with Apple TV

Apple Support has confirmed that the preview function in Aperture is not compatible with Apple TV. Don't buy Aperture if you want the same resolution on Apple TV! Stick with iPhoto!!

Works fine here, but must note that only a single Aperture Library can be selected, and this is to the exclusion of the iPhoto Library.
Right-click on the Aperture Library and choose Show Package Contents. Look for the iPod Photo Cache folder, and open it. Is it populated by lots of subfolders, which in turn have content? What is the date that the iPod Photo Cache was last modified. You may not be able to check this now, having dumped Aperture, as you say.
This folder is the source of what iTunes will see for sharing. It probably can be removed, and then rebuilt by selecting what to Share. Or maybe just removing its contents, and rebuild the selections. But there is one per Aperture Library, and one in the iPhoto library, which is why only one source can be used to sync.
