Quad with 2 old Apple Studio monitors 17'' ADC?

Hello,
I'm almost ready to buy a PowerMac Quad, but I've one problem to solve:
I already have 2 old Apple Studio Display 17'' with ADC connection.
The default video card in the Quad has 2 DVI ports, so I should use 2 Apple DVI to ADC adapters to run my old monitors (I already have one and I can say these adapters are huge, big and reqire power supply).
Is it possible to run the above configuration (2 adapters) without problems or damages?
Thank you
PowerMac G4 Dual 1,25

Hi, the problem is a combination of Boot Camp 2.1 and the ADC->DVI box. I've described a solution here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7211956&#7211956
Basically:
[1] Plug everything in normally
[2] Boot into Mac OS X
[3] Set brightness to what you want (eg. in System Prefs, or via keyboard)
[4] Unplug the USB cable belonging to the ADC->DVI adaptor (this means anything plugged into the monitor now won't work, so you may need to also move peripherals from the monitor to the mac, or to a USB hub)
[5] Boot into Windows (XP SP2 or SP3 in my case)
[6] cue "I can see clearly now the rain has gone"
The disadvantages to this are:
[1] You're a USB socket down on the deal (the display gave you 2 but took up 1, now you only have the 1 that it was being plugged into)
[2] To readjust brightness (if you find yourself doing this regularly... I don't) you need to go Mac OS X-> plug cable back in -> adjust brightness -> remove cable -> reboot into XP.
For me (2007 Mac Pro, 23" stripey Apple Cinema Display with ADC->DVI adaptor) it was happening under an ATI 1900XT and also under an Nvidia 8800GT, each time I'd tried reformatting the Windows partition, reinstalling Windows XP etc. Whenever it was Boot Camp 2.0.x it was fine, but adding Boot Camp 2.1 to the party wrecked the brightness. XP SP3 made no difference whatsoever.
Of note, if you'd rather not sacrifice the USB port (it didn't bother me, as 2.1 also made my 802.11n network finally usable under XP, which was more important to me than losing a USB socket), the original poster in the above linked article suggested reinstalling the Boot Camp 2.0 drivers (from the Leopard disc) as an alternative fix (seemingly they'll overwrite anything Boot Camp 2.1 installed, thus "rewinding"). As I say, for me I needed the wireless network so didn't want to go back, but it might work for you as a 2nd route.
I've filed a bug on this, so let's hope the Boot Camp team knock out a fix soon,
Ken

17" CRT Apple Studio Monitor

Unfortunately, I bought a Mini without knowing that my current monitor is unsupported. Are there any work arounds? Has anybody successfully used a 17" CRT Apple Studio monitor with the mini.
Thanks in Advance

You may buy a "DVI to ADC Adapter" from apple.
Yesterday I've bought a Mac mini and I already owned a 17" Studio Display in conjunction with the DVI to ADC, but the "sleep button" on the display is not working.That's why I'm searching this forum.

My iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this

my iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this??

All apps downloaded/purchased are tied to the apple ID used to download/purchase them.
If you change your Apple ID and do not wish to use the old apple ID and password to update them, you have to delete them and redownload or buy them under the new apple ID.

My 11 year old Apple studio display died. what is best connection with new monitor

The lCD light finally quit after 12 years. So I bought a very cheap acer /led widescreenS200HQL 19 inch as a cheap quick replacement for my monitor on my quicksilver G4 933. Question is it is connected to the second display port VGA... Is it worth buying a connector so it can be connected to the larger DVI port(where the apple studio display was connected?) will that make any difference??? Things seem fine but was curious as to the difference???

Many of the Studio displays were ADC. Are you sure that other port is really DVI and not ADC?
My 2004 MDD vid card has one DVI and one ADC connector. I have it connected to a Viewsonic display from about 2007 with both VGA and DVI ports. When I connect the DVI port directly to the DVI port on the G4, the native res looks good but it too small to read (old, tired eyes). If I change the desktop res to make things a little bigger, the image looks like carp--fuzzy and possibly some distortion.
If I use the DVI-to-VGA adapter on the computer and connect it to the monitor. the image is shape and proper at any support desktop res I select.
You mileage may vary.

Connect an Apple Studio monitor to mbp?

do i need the bulky and expensive adc adaptor to connect my "older" Apple Studio display to my new MBP?

Sadly yes (I'm in the same position) it needs the power brick/adapter thing ($99) to work with the MBP

Apple Studio Monitor connection to PC

Aagh! This is driving me nuts.
A 19" Apple Studio Display - will this connect to a PC.
Monitor and connections can be viewed here:
http://www.hdc.uk.com/images/apple.jpg
Different posts are saying:
- I need a ADC-DVI adapter
- or a different graphics card
- or it may work but excess contrast???
- or it just won't work.
Any help please?

The symptoms you are experiencing is due to wireless interference. You can always try restoring those other devices, but you might be stuck in a loop. Consider working on your home router, like changing the radio channel to avoid interference. There are many things to lookout for, such as radio interference, physical interference, and router distance.

New DVI-standard doesn't fit with old Apple adapter

I bought a new MBP i7 the last week and was very surprised when i noticed that the adapter i bought (Mini Display to DVI) doesn't fit with my old adapter (DVI to VGA). Apples new DVI-adapter us the DVI-D standard and that doesn't work well with teh DVI-I standard. When i talked with Apple and also with a Apple store they didn't know of any new DVI-standard and if there is an adapter (Mini Display to DVI-I). http://www.interfacebus.com/DesignConnector_Digital_Visual_Interface_DVIBus.html
Is there anyone out there who know if it is possible to buy this Mini Display to DVI-I (Dual)?

The Apple Mini-Displayport-to-DVI adapter is DVI-D because there is no analog signal emitted from the Mini-Displayport. The contacts the adapter lacks are the ones that would carry an analog signal, if there were any. If you want to connect your MBP to a device with a VGA input port, get a mini-displayport-to-VGA adapter.

Cannot update apps downloaded with old Apple ID after changing ID

My wife and I used to share my Apple ID on all mobile devices (iPhone 4S, iPad 2) and Mac so we could share contacts, calendar, purchases (apps & music). My Apple ID was an inactive email address. When I bought my iPhone 6 I decided to change Apple ID to a current email address and she created her own Apple ID for her iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Figured we could still share data through Family Share. Changed Apple IDs on all devices to the current ones.
Now, she cannot update apps on her devices as she gets message that her apps were downloaded with another Apple ID. It asks for password for that Apple ID (my old ID), and the passwords for my previous Apple ID and my new password don't work. I tried deleting the apps off her devices and then installing again from the Mac we backup to, but that did not work.
Also, is there a way to share contacts and calendar through Family Share or some other way. We don't seem to be sharing any longer since making all these changes. Why did I make the changes? Because using the same Apple ID on all devices was causing me to get her text messages and vice versa, and other strange things after updating to iOS 8.
I have iPhone 6, she has 4S and iPad 2. Have a MacBook Pro circa mid-2010 running Yosemite, version 10.10.2. Mobile devices run iOS 8.1.3

It is a good thing you made 2 separate Apple ID.
I tried deleting the apps off her devices and then installing again from the Mac we backup to, but that did not work
It's normal it didn't work because you are reinstalling apps (that are on the Mac) that were purchased/obtained from your Apple ID. She needs to reinstall them through the App Store on her device, using her Apple ID.
share contacts and calendar through Family Share or some other way
Calendars can be shared through iCloud (A)(without Family Sharing), or using the following method (B) used for the contacts.
Contacts can neither be shared through iCloud or through Family Sharing.
To get them synced: Get all of your wife's contact on your iOS device. (you can send them to your iOS device through iMessage)
then go to your wife's iOS device: Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendar.
From there, disable her iCloud contacts, then add YOUR iCloud account, and select only contacts (and calendar if you want the method (B)).
This should answer all your questions.
Cheers

Ipad tries to connect with old Apple ID.

I can not delete the old ID, because i changed my account to a new one because of password phishing (popular in germany since a few days).
ipad is asking me all the time via pop-up field for the password of the old apple id.
Cause of this, i can't use my iPad anymore. The Pop-Up is coming every 2 Seconds, asking to sign in into iCloud.
The bottom line is: How can i tell my ipad, that
a.) I'm using a new Apple ID
b.) I can't sign out of my old Apple ID, because my password is gone. (For sure, i asked the Microsoft Support to re-create my account, but they are sleeping.
Please help.

Ok, thank you. Now the App FindmyiPad is the problem. I can't delete the account without shutting down the App without the Password with my old Apple ID.
In case of a robbery good to know, cause i can't use the ipad now (because i just have a time window from max 1 second to set settings), but in my cause...it's horrible.
Do you know more?

Can't Delete icloud with old Apple ID (which is not an email address)

Alright a couple of years ago apple made the switch to an email address as the main log on, which I was cool with. Fast forward to today now that I am interested in backing my phone up to the cloud I can not because it is prompting me for the password of my log in due to the fact the find my phone is on. Meaning my log on back in the day was a random word same as my screen name "VERSE13" not an email.
Any help would be apreciated. I tried all the switching of emails to holding magical massage rocks on the back of my phone.

This is what worked for me. Should also work with the other problems with old email address and what not.
First save all your important data. I backed up all my contacts to OUTLOOK and took all my photos off the iphone. This is important as you won't be restoring from an early sync.
The next thing I did was went into my itunes library and deleted all the apps that were associated with my old log in name. (I made a note so I could redownload these later). In Itunes library click on apps then click list. Right click on app and select get info. On the summary tab you will see the apple ID it was purchased/associated with.
The next thing I did was restored my iPhone using the following instructions (which will get you around the whole not knowing the password thing):
With Iphone connected to computer hold power and home button until the phone resets.
When the apple icon comes on release the power button (continue to hold home button).
The iphone screen will display something that is tell you to connect your phone to itunes. On your computer you will receive the following message "Itunes has detected an Iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with iTunes."
Click Ok.
Then click restore iphone.
Then confirm to restore and update.
When complete a screen that says "Welcome to your New Iphone" will be displayed.
Do not select restore from backup. This will just cause the same problems with screen IDs.
At this point just disconnect your Iphone and go through the startup steps on your phone.
Sign in with the Apple ID/Cloud ID that you want to use.
When you are complete with that sync with Itunes library.
Make sure you select to set up as a new Iphone. Place all your APPS and music back on your phone. Set it up how you like it and sync to create a new restore point.
So basically it is just like you got a new phone. So it is very important you save your contacts and pics and video to your local hard drive.

Can't delete an iCloud account associated with old Apple ID

I had an Apple ID that used an email address from an old employer. When I switched employers, I went online and changed the email address and password associated with that Apple ID. When I used my phone after that I was told that it could no longer access iCloud because the settings were inaccurate. It was still trying to log in using the older Apple ID and password. I tried entering the old password, since it always brought up the old email. Didn't work. I tried deleting the account, but am required to delete "Find my iPhone" first, which I ultimately did, but it still asks me to sign into that before I can delete the iCloud account.
Can't seem to either change the iCloud settings in the phone, or to outright delete it so I can start over. I am beginning to think that I am going to have to redo the settings on the phone entirely.
Any ideas?

Hello JSBushman,
The device can be removed from Find My iPhone via iCloud.com.

Why am I getting an intermittent buzz with preamp and studio monitors?

I've just gotten rid of my desktop computer speakers which plug into the mini-headphone audio out on my Macbook Pro (i7, 2.66, mid 2010). Instead, I've connected via firewire 800 to an older 8 ch Presonus Firestudio Project preamp, and have connected a new pair Fostex powered studio monitors to that for my audio (and scratch recording). When I first start playing music in iTunes it all sounds great. But after a while, I'l start to get these periodic loud electronic buzzes. It's not just in the background, it actually will cut off the song to make the loud sound for a brief second. Over time it will become more frequent, and at one point it got to the point that it was just a constant buzz, no audio at all. Unplugging firewire stops it. Since there are a number of components, I'm not sure what is causing the problem. Can anyone help?

The update didn't apply correctly, which will be typically due to an interuption within your setup. You will have to connect to iTunes via micro usb to restore.
