Original 23" cinema display and new 23"display with new 8 core MacPro

I am posting this experience to help others with similar questions.
I just upgraded my tower from a dual 2.7 G5 to a new 8 core Mac Pro. I am using 2 23" cinema displays. One is an original first generation display (ADC connector) and the second is a newer 23" aluminum cased display.
The original CD needs to use the ACD to DVI converter and has to be plugged into the DVI port on the Radeon 4870 card. Using the mini-display to DVI convertor will not work. The newer display will work in either port. Both displays now work as they did before...no issues.
I hope this clarifies the situation for others with older displays

Aaah, thanks again Apple! So that's why they modded the videocard, to sell more new displays.
We got a set of fresh mac pro's yesterday, all fitted with the ATI Radeon 4870. I've just fitted it to our (< 1 year old) DELL 2408WFP displays. Unfortunately only the one with the regular DVI connector works. The one connected to the miniDVI does not recognize the monitor at all. (using the ACD to DVI) Not in windows, not in osx. I've tried the updated ATI drivers within windows, this does not do the trick. So thanks Apple, for almost delivering a good piece of hardware and not telling anyone about this problem.
If there's any news other then "buy new displays" i'll post it here.

    Hi, stig2013. 
    I would recommend the steps in the article below.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps. 
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • If I completely fill my hard drive 500Gb how time machine will keep working having 1Tb of total space, I mean I have to delete mu hard drive but how I keep my previous information on time machine and keep using to with new information?

    If I completely fill my hard drive 500Gb how time machine will keep working having 1Tb of total space [externak hard drive], I mean I have to delete my hard drive but how I keep my previous information on time machine and keep using it with new information?

    Time Machine does not provide archival storage.
    If you delete a file from your disk it will eventually be deleted from your TM backup without any notice to you.
    You need a second external disk to use for archival storage.
    You also need a third disk for backups of the second disk.

  • How to view and restore sharepoint 2013 designer workflows and how to redeploy with newer version to environments

    how to view and restore sharepoint 2013 designer workflows and how to redeploy with newer version to environments
    MCTS Sharepoint 2010, MCAD dotnet, MCPDEA, SharePoint Lead

    Hi,
    In SharePoint Designer 2010, we could not save the workflow as a template directly except the reusable workflow.
    However, in SharePoint Designer 2013, we can just save all the types workflow as a template, then you can import the workflow into the new environment.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/workflows_for_product_catalogs/archive/2012/11/02/deploying-a-workflow-on-a-different-server.aspx
    In SharePoint Designer 2013, every time we publish the workflow, we would get a newer version workflow, and the old workflow version would be overwritten.
    So, when you deploy the workflow in the environment, the workflow would the newer version.
    Thanks,

    please help me out in this matter.

    How did you change your user name?
    resetpassword wouldn't have done it. If you managed to create a new user, then your data is still in the old account.

  • Does apple change the old products such as new ipad 3 with new products?

    Does apple change the old products such as new ipad 3 with new products?

    If you mean 'Can I bring in my 3 and swap it our for a 4' no. They don't do that.
    If you  have a broken 3 and take it in for a warranty replacement, you'll get the same make and model in return.
    The only way you can exchange a 3 for a 4 (let's say, using those as an example) is if you bought your 3 14 days or less before the 4 is released. You can return the 3 and get a refund then use that to purchase the 4.
    So for an occasional 14 days before the release of a new model. That's the only time for mixed model exchanges. Beyond that it's like for like.
    If you have a 3 and want a 4, sell your 3 then use the proceeds towards your 4.

  • Using external HD Cinema display and USB keyboard/mouse with "closed" MBP

    I have an early 2009 17-inch MacBook Pro and a ~2007 HD Cinema Display. I routinely hook up my cinema display and an external USB keyboard/mouse when I am at my desk, and I close the lid on the MacBook to just use the external display. When I leave the office (I do about 50% of my work away from my desk) I use the MacBook on its own, often just putting it to sleep while I connect or disconnect the monitor and keyboard.
    My problem comes more often when I have used my computer on its own, and I try to plug it back into my cinema display. I have the computer set to ask for a password on coming out of sleep or screen saver, and every so often the computer just hangs when I wake it up--usually when I plug in the external keyboard. When I am able to login, sometimes I am not able to use any of the icons on my desktop--it's almost as if they are not there or recognized by the finder. My solution has been to go into the view options and choose to re-arrange the desktop in some way, and then I can select them again as normal. This is a frustrating solution as 1. it takes extra time, and 2. I loose my desktop arrangement, which makes it hard to easily find what I'm looking for.
    Is there a "better" way (order of plugging things in, settings, etc. besides shutting down and restarting) to connect and disconnect my MacBook from my external monitor and keyboard to assure an easy login and use of my desktop icons?

    I'm not sure if this is germane, but Apple specifically warns about plugging or unplugging USB or FireWire devices from the laptops while they are sleeping. Doing so can result in kernel panics, crashes, inability to wake up the computer, etc. So specifically they recommend you only connect or disconnect such devices before putting the computer to sleep and after waking it up.

  • ATI display driver fails to work with new kernel

    Hi,
    I've just upgraded from
    OEL kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3.0.1.el5.x86_64
    to most current
    OEL kernel-2.6.18-194.11.4.0.1.el5.x86_64
    and got the problem with ATI display driver. Whenever I perform kernel upgrade, I have to recompile vendor-provided ATI display driver downloadable from AMD/ATI site, because system ATI driver, provided by OEL/RHEL as kernel module, doesn't work properly (too slow). I did that hundred times and never had a problem. This time the problem is that after upgrading to new kernel and recompiling the existing ATI display driver (Revision 10.8), it doesn't work anymore, even though it worked perfectly with previous kernel. I cannot even start X11 (glibc problem reported with stack traces!!!). The newest ATI display driver (Revision 10.9) "works" with new kernel, but display is awfully slow making any serious work impossible. It is even slower than system-provided ATI driver.
    I am pretty sure the problem is in new kernel. As I have no backup of old kernel files and couldn't download the previous OEL kernel files from ULN, neither binary nor source (the files do not exist on ULN anymore, only the recent kernel files), I downloaded the previous kernel source from ftp.redhat.com, compiled the kernel and downgraded to it, recompiled ATI display driver, and everything works properly and fast as before upgrading. I can remember that ULN site used to have all kernel versions prior to actual one and cannot understand why Oracle dropped this practice. As I have an ULN account, I certainly want to have OEL patched kernel.
    My question is: does anybody know how and where I can download the previous OEL kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3.0.1.el5.x86_64 binary rpm files or at least source rpm file?
    Maybe Sergio or Tommy can help?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have experienced the same with Ubuntu some years ago - specific feature (hack?) that was implemented in the kernel was deprecated. This was used by the display driver for an onboard Intel graphics chipset. Beryl (which was subsequently merged with Compiz) turned into a horribly slow experience. As far as I recall, a subsequent kernel patch "fixed" things as a number of users were affected, of which many complained very loudly.
    Anyway, I think the lesson here is that OEL is not really the correct distro to use for a desktop. A broken ATI driver for the OEL kernel? Does not really feature in the scheme of things for OEL support. Oracle Grid/RAC/Enterprise/Standard Edition do not care. Oracle's application servers (Apache, Weblogic, etc) do not care. Etc.
    Sure, GUI desktop access to an OEL server is needed (like when running dbca or an installer) - but that can easily and effectively be done using vncserver for example and running twm.
    You may be able to fix/work-around the problem with the current kernel update.. you may be able to roll back the update. But what about the next time when some other component does not work after a patch or an update? Surely it is a lot less stressful and frustrating to rather use a desktop distro, like Ubuntu, instead?

  • How can I get the Display Profile list to update with new profile names?

    Hello
    I recently created a couple of color profiles with a calibration device, and I decided to manually rename the color profiles after creating them. The problem is, when I open Displays in the control panel, the new names for the profiles don't show up, only the old names. To get the Display Profile to update, I have to pull the profile out of Library > Color Syncs and restart (which clears the profile from the list), then put the renamed profile back in, restart (which then adds the renamed profile to the list)
    Is there an easier way to to this, to get the Display Profile list to update? Is there a preference or cache somewhere?
    thanks

    Oh, cool! I never handle any Mayan stuff in my job, but many of my academic cohort have done so. Mostly Tzotzil.
    Anyhow: your sample font was Times New Roman. If you can't see the combining glyphs, then you're using an out-of-date version of the font, or something else is wrong. . Did you maybe start your work on a contemporary version of Word in WIndows, and now you've shifted to using a Mac with an older version of Office? THere are plenty of nulls in TNR (which are usually codepoints not in Unicode, usually a sign of some kind of hacky workaround on the part ofthe font designer). There should be a real combining macron below right about here, in between the crazy upper Latin and the Greek caps :
    So I'd want to know: what font are you using for this? If not TNR, then I'd suggest Gentium. I might even suggest dropping TNR for Gentium. Judging by your screen name, you may well already be aware of SIL. If not - oh hey, they make fonts for people who are in your shoes! Go check 'em out. The fonts are free, and pretty reliable. And Gentium may already have a precomposed with-line-below glyph for your typesetting needs.
    The Kerning dropdown lets you adjust the spacing between letters in a letter-by-letter way. Selecting all of your text and picking "Metrics" is the way to go here - unless you are a designer who thinks that the capital D is way too far away from the lowercase i, and want to tweak the kerning manually. "Optical" is for large font sizes where body-text-style kerning is too spacious. Avoid using it at small font sizes.

  • Displays in System Preferences blank with new Samsung LCD

    On my G4, which has an ATI Rage Pro 16 MB AGP card and an ATI Rage PCI card installed, I now get a blank displays control panel since connecting a new Samsung SyncMaster 730b monitor to either card. The second monitor is a Gateway EV700. If I disconnect one monitor, I get the displays panel back, as soon as I reconnect and restart, it is blank again. I obviously cannot rearrange monitors, although I can change resolutions in my displays icon in the menu bar.
    I purchased the AGP card and installed it after installing OS 10.3.9, although when I had an old Apple 720 monitor connected the displays panel worked fine. I have tried connecting the Samsung with both a DVI and a VGA cable (has both options) and nothing works to fix the problem.
    Short of re-installing the OS, does anyone know a fix?

    Thanks Grant.
    I tried this as well, still no luck though, I still get a blank panel.
    I took a chance and put the ATI Displays software on the machine, and still the displays panel is blank. The ATI cards still see the monitors and identify them correctly in the ATI control panel installed in system prefs.
    At this point I think I just have to live with it, or try installing Tiger, which I have been contemplating. I am a little hesitant though as Tiger hogs a bit more ram and is a larger installation; plus the G4 is an old machine and other than this problem runs everything very well.

  • Difference bet alvgrid display and normal list display

    can any body tell difference bt reuse_alv_grid display and reusealv_list_display. i

    Hi,
    For all practical purposes, they are the same.
    2. Some differences:
    a) from abap coding point of view,
    alv list is done with Function modules,
    alv gris can also be done with FM,
    but can also be done using OO concepts.
    b) Alv grid (using oo concept) requires
    designing the screen layout .
    Hence, in one screen, we can show more
    then one alv grid
    (we cannot show more than
    one alv list on one screen)
    c) ALV grid uses ActiveX controls
    present on the Presentation Server.
    Hence, it consumes More Memory
    on the presentation server.
    d) ALV LIST is Display Only.
    Whereas
    ALV Grid Can Be made EDITABLE for entry purpose.
    e) In alv grid, these options are possible,
    but not in alv list.
    without horizontal lines
    without vertical lines
    without cell merging during sorts
    display total lines above the entries
    ALV LIST Can be coded using only FMs
    ALV GRID Can be coded using FMs and object oriented concepts
    ALV LIST Can be displayed hieraicharlly
    ALV GRID cannot be displayed hierarichally

  • My HD on my Macbook pro 13" is done and I replaced it with new now I cannot boot off Disc

    I had to replace my HD on my MBP 13" with new, I have been trying to boot off MAC OS X Snow Leopard install DVD 10.6 but cannot! HELP needed!

    You need to use the ORIGINAL installation disc(s) that came with your machine. The SL disc is just an upgrade disc. If you don't have the original disc(s) you can call Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE and, with your serial number handy, order a set of original replacement discs. Cost will be about $20 + tax, I believe.
    Good luck,

  • HT203433 An apple id is already associated with my device ( i signed out of exising id and created a new one) and wont let me associate my device with a new apple id for 85 days. How do i get my new content purchased with new id onto my ipad?

    Hi, can anyone please tell me how I can receive downloads onto my ipad that i have purchased with a new apple id via itunes on my pc? I added a new apple id and signed out of existing one on my ipad and now receive a message saying that i cannot associate a new id for 85 days - and it won't let me download my purchased content onto the ipad even though i can purchase new content on my pc with the new id. The new content shows in my purchases when accessed on my ipad but the message appears when i attempt the download. I have set up the new id on both devices.
    Any suggestions?

    Yes. I have tried that. When I use the ID I had before, it sets it up as a new account and I don't want to lose my stats attached to my old account.
    Let's say that my old nickname was "user10" and I used the email, "[email protected]" for my apple id. I changed my apple id to "[email protected]" and it changed my game center account to "mynew" and somehow I am friends with my old acct, "user10". I tried getting a password reset for "user10" but I apparently don't know my own birthday, which is possible because I usually give a false one, but the same false one each time.
