Powerbook G4 and 23inch ACD

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if i ran my powerbook 15 inch G4 in sleep mode and hooked it up to a 23 inch display, what kind of resolutions can I get on the monitor?
Thanks

You can get the full resolution of the 23", which is WUXGA, which is 1920 x 1200. You get this regardless of whether you run with the lid closed or with the lid open in screen spanning mode..

  • Connect the powerbook 15"-Display with a new G5 dual and a ACD?

    hi
    i wonder if i could connect the pb 15" display with a new G5 dual and turn the pb off, only the display on?
    that would be fun.
    i am working with a pb 15" and a ACD 20" with Photoshop mainly.
    the 15" is the palettes‘ server and the ACD is the main working screen where i retouch my pics.
    so if i buy a G5 dual now, i would have to buy a ACD30" for example to use one display for all the Photoshop Palettes and couldn use the pb 15" anymore?
    any other less awkward solutions i am not aware of maybe?
    thanks"

    I'm pretty sure that you can't use a PowerBook for it's display only. You already know, of course, that you can use the PowerBook, as a computer, with an external monitor, with or without the PB's own display running, but so far as I know you cannot use a PB solely for its display.
    So, if you bought a G5 dual now, and bought an ACD 30", you could use both your ACD's with your new G5 dual, the 20" and the 30" , but your PowerBook would have to watch the proceedings from the sidelines.

  • I have an Apple Powerbook G4, and my monitor doesn't function. I have an external display Monitor, however it's stuck in extended screen mode. How do I get it to mirror or duplicate the display without use of the on-board?

    As i had said, I have an Apple Powerbook G4, and my monitor doesn't function. I have an external display Monitor, however it's stuck in extended screen mode. How do I get it to mirror or duplicate the display without use of the on-board? Is there a Fn key combo i'm missing or is the issue more serious then i realize? any and all help and hints would be greatly apprichiated, thanks in advance.
    -Powerbook User

    The PowerBooks have an F-key that toggles mirrored and extended mode. My PB is loaned out right now but I think it was f7. The keycap has an icon on two overlapping rectangles, as I recall.
    EDIT: Yes! Found a pdf of the PB manual it shows F7 is the toggle:

  • PowerBook G4 and iMac G4

    I have a PowerBook G4 and an iMac G4. They are both about 3 1/2 years old. The PowerBook is running 10.4.3 and the iMac is running 10.1.5
    I am wanting to use the PowerBook as my main computer and use the iMac similar to an external monitor and an external hard drive space. I've asked around but no one seems to know the answer. I was thinking I'd just use a firewire but that doesn't seem to give me what I want I don't think. I want to use my PowerBook as a portable, and then attach it to my iMac when I get home so I can use the bigger screen and have some extral space for things I don't need on my PowerBook.
    Any ideas how to do this? Anything would be a help. Thanks.
    Will

    The iMac can't be used as an external monitor. It doesn't have any video input capabilities.
    When you say was thinking I'd just use a firewire, I assume you mean Target Disk Mode, so you may have already exhausted your options. Here they are anyway:
    The nearest thing you could do to what you want is use your PowerBook as a portable and then attach it to the iMac in target disk mode, so the PowerBook becomes a disk on the iMac. That way you'll have access to all your files, and get to use the iMac's bigger screen. You'll be using the iMac's processor and RAM, and as you don't say what model or configuration you have, I'm not sure how it would compare to the performance of your PowerBook. But I assume since they are both 3.5 years old that the iMac is faster than the PowerBook.
    You say that you iMac is running 10.1.5. I think you'd want to update that to 10.4 if you were going to run this configuration.
    The other option is to run the iMac in TDM on the PowerBook. This way you'll have access to 10.4 without upgrading the iMac, access to all your files on both HDs, but not the advantage of the iMac's screen or possible speed advantage.
    One other option would be to sell the iMac and buy an external monitor (17" or 19" LCDs can be found reasonably priced) and FireWire hard drive to replace it. This would give you an ideal setup - provided you could live without the standalone iMac

  • I have a powerbook G4 and iforgot my password and want to update OSX

  • Share external hard drive between PowerBook (PPC) and MacBook (Intel)?

    Hello.
    I recently purchased an HP Portable USB 3.0/2.0 1TB external hard drive (http://j.mp/f9FP4M). I'm trying to figure out the best way to format it so that my girlfriend and I can both use it. Problem is, I have a PPC-based PowerBook G4, and she has an Intel-based MacBook. Hopeless?
    If not, here is the ideal scenario:
    --One partition that can boot Tiger (I still have the CD).
    --A second partition that can boot Snow Leopard (just got it for my girlfriend).
    --A third partition where my girlfriend can back up her MacBook using Time Machine.
    --A fourth partition where I can back up my PowerBook using whatever means possible/necessary.
    Can someone please suggest how I might do this? I would be very grateful for any assistance.
    If any part of my ideal scenario has to be sacrificed -- I would not be at all surprised -- then let's forget about my PowerBook and focus on how to format the drive for her MacBook. I presume I would just need to do GUID, but I'd still need guidance on how to create partitions to boot Snow Leopard (and Tiger, if that would still be possible).
    Happy to clarify any of the above if it's unclear or incomplete. Thanks for reading and for thinking this through with me!

  • Firewire between PowerBook G4 and MacBook

    I'm trying to connect my PowerBook G4 and MacBook via firewire. The MacBook is acting as the external hard drive.
    The PowerBook G4 was turned on, I connected the firewire to both computer and then booted the MacBook holding down T. The firewire icon is floating on the MacBook, but the hard drive isn't showing up on the PowerBook G4 desktop. I restarted the PowerBook G4 while they were both still connected, but still nothing. Does this mean my MacBook hard drive isn't work?

    The cable works fine, tried it between the PowerBook G4 and an external hard drive.
    The MacBook does not boot. It turns on to a blank white screen and stays there. It won't boot into safe mode or single user mode or anything like that.
    Yes, I do have the install discs and put them in to try and reinstall Leopard. They boot, but the hard drive won't show when it asks me where to install. I hear there's a bug with the hard drive not appearing there and waited up to an hour on that screen, but that didn't make it show either. Then I went into Disk Utility, but the hard drive wouldn't show there either. At some point it did, but I couldn't run a repair on it. Then I restarted with the installation disc in again and then it wouldn't show at all.

  • Powerbook G3 and Lepoard

    I have a powerbook G3 and need info on what I need to upgrade to run Leopard.. This G3 is currently running 8.5.. I was given this Mac and plan to use it to run a home studio program.(Protools by Digidesign)

    Patricia,
    I think the Wallstreet would be just fine for your intended purposes with just more RAM. You probably have a 32MB in the bottom slot (on the underside of the microprocessor card) and a 64MB in the top slot. You can buy a 256MB module for $29, remove the top 64MB and replace with a 256MB; you would then have a total 288MB. If you bought a 128MB and installed as above, you would only have 160MB. If you follow this strategy, you do not have to remove the microprocessor card, and it is very easy to replace the top module.
    Here is good, reliable source:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iBooks-PowerBooks/G3-Lombard/
    If you buy a 256MB module, both the Lombard and Wallstreet require a special architecture on the memory chip; generic 256's will not work.

  • I had to reinstall a harddrive in a PowerBook G4 and lost all my apps, where can I get a new Apple Works?

    I had to reinstall a failed harddrive in a PowerBook G4 and lost all my apps.  Where can I get Apple Works?

    Allan:
    It did not work on my SL Mac Mini and I am sure you will have the same results.
    I need to find a quick and easy download PPC application for someone on this forum who is having problems in Snow Leopard and I want to rule out that it is PPC that is the problem.  I had suggested he download Appleworks for this purpose; ooooops!
    Can you think of a quick and dirty PPC app to download?
    Yes, he has Rosetta installed...
    I am almost positive that the problem is that his game was released in 2003 when OS X was 10.2.x and it just will NOT function in Snow Leopard without some patch or upgrade.
    I am getting my hands on a copy of this game tomorrow, so I will go down that path for him, too!

  • I have a powerbook G4 and want to transfer files (by linking?) to an iMac

    I currently have a powerbook G4 and am thinking of buying an iMac for the house. Can the two be linked for fast and easy transfer of files? If not what would be the easiest way to share the days work on the powerbook G4 with the imac?
    Also can the two monitors be used simultaneously to drag windows from one to the other, like you can with the powerbook G4 and Cinema display?

    Hello and welcome,
    There are a few ways to transfer files. You can set up a local network using an Airport and turn file sharing on your machines so that you can log into your iMac from the PowerBook or vise-versa.
    You can also set up the PowerBook to run in FireWire Target Disk Mode (reboot and hold T until the PowerBook shows the FireWire Symbol on the screen). This will mount your PowerBook's drive on you iMac's desktop. You can access the PB's HD like you would any other drive.
    As for monitors, you can connect a second monitor to the iMac using a mini-DVI to DVI or mini-DVI to VGA adapter. You can not connect the PowerBook to your iMac and be able to use the iMac as a second monitor, thus you could not drag objects from the PB's screen to the iMac's screen.
    Connecting using the above methods is simple and gives you straightforward access to your connected PowerBook. FireWire will be faster than sending data via Airport connection; however for most relatively small files will transfer via Airport fast enough for daily use.

  • 17" Powerbook, 1ghz and a 30" ACD

    I have a 17" powerbook, and drive my ACD 23" just dandy, I just got a 30" in hopes of getting a G5 soon. Can I drive my 30" with a limited amount of pixels and still use it, Like with a black area around it, cause I know the 30" is not compatable at full rezolution.
    What will happen if I plug it into the connector?

    Nope its a generation 1, i think
    Machine Model:     PowerBook G4 17"
    CPU Type:     PowerPC G4 (3.3)
    Number Of CPUs:     1
    CPU Speed:     1 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU):     256 KB
    L3 Cache (per CPU):     1 MB
    Memory:     512 MB
    Bus Speed:     167 MHz
    Boot ROM Version:     4.6.2f1
    The connector for the 23 and the 30 look the same. (from the DVI to ADC white box thing)
    Im afraid of frying either or, But want to use the 30 to make sure its OK.

  • New MBP and 23" ACD problem

    Here's my situation: when I'm at home I use my MBP with an 23" ACD (alu) and keep the MBP screen closed. I used this combo for over 6 months with a 15" MBP 2ghz core duo with absolutely no problems, including taking the MBP with me and using it by itself. I've now replaced my original MBP with the new 15" core2 duo 2.33 glossy. When I boot up in the morning I get 23" ACD flashing to a solid blue and then back to the regular screen about every 4 seconds until the system hangs. After rebooting a couple of times the problem seems to go away.
    I notice there appears to be no screen closed detector on this model like there was on the old MBP. Is this a known bug? Anyone know of a setting etc that I might have to tweak. The new MBP works flawlessly on it's own.

    If you want the MBP internal LCD to shut off while using the external display, just utilize clamshell mode. Plug in an external mouse, keyboard and LCD. Close the lid and put the machine to sleep. Wake the machine by either clicking the mouse or pressing a key on keyboard. This will wake your machine and make the external display your main monitor. You can now open the lid of the MBP to allow the heat to escape.
    Also, right now I leave the lid open while the two
    are connected. I'd like to leave the lid open while
    running the machine to allow for heat venting comming
    off of the keyboard. But even with the brightness
    turned all the way down on the background image, the
    image is still faintly displayed. Do you know how I
    might bring it to a full off mode?
