Recommended Apple Displays for vintage 7350, G3/33 and Q650 Macintosh's?

I am looking for an Apple compatible display solution for a Quadra 650, a Workgroup Server 7350 and a G3/300. At this time I have the following displays at disposal: a vintage 12-inch RGB display which is connected to my vintage Mac LC, a 15-inch IBM G50 CRT with resolution comprised between 640x480@85Hz and 1024x768@72 Hz, and two professional colour CRT manufactured by Philips in the 202P40 and 70 series (which are presently connected to my PC workstations and used as dual-displays on Matrox Parhelia.)
My original plan was to use the Quadra 650 for creative writing as a replacement for the venerable LC. To this purpose a 12-inch RGB is a bit restricted (512x384), but quite practical from the desk space saving viewpoint. Perhaps a 14-inch Apple display could do well, but which one? Multiple Scan series?
The 7350/233 and G3/300 are respectively using their original video board and an ATI Rage Pro chipset. Their use would be either dedicated to scanning tasks (mainly digitisation of written media) as well as Internet gateway (for the G3 only). Colour fidelity is not prerequisite at this stage. The 15-inch IBM G50 is a capable monitor, but I think that it would be great to have a monitor with flicker-free resolution of 1024x768 for web browsing. So what is the good choice among vintage Apple displays?
I read quite numerous articles about Apple displays, and it seems that some models like the 1710 are to be avoided, according to LowEndMac. Conversely they provide excellent compatibility with vintage Macintosh graphic boards. I am particularly concerned with graphic display quality because I spend many hours in front of a computer display every day. This is the reason why I invested time and money to assemble a dual Philips 202P CRT display working space in combination with top-quality Matrox Parhelia graphic boards.
I also read about issues when using conventional CRT displays on Apple graphic boards because the OS seems to restrict the resolution and refresh rates to 75Hz. But is it true?!
Again many thanks in advance for your excellent forum and qualitative feedback.

For your Quadra 650, which you want to use for word processing text, there is an interesting paradox. There is a "hole" in the display capabilities of most computers.
15 inch displays:
can easily show 800 by 600, and 832 by 624 will fit on most displays with the picture slightly less than life size.
17 inch displays:
can show 832 by 624 with a 3/8 inch black border all around.
19 inch displays:
can display 1024 by 768 easily
If desk space is an issue, the clear winner is a 15 inch display. The difference between Super VGA at 800 by 600 and Mac 16 inch at 832 by 624 is not very large. Either could be used.
There is a document that discusses the use of sense pins, displays, and adapters with the Quadra series, which includes the Quadra 650:

What is the best Apple display for a 733 quicksilver?

Hello everyone. Can anyone suggest the best Apple display for a 733 Quicksilver G4? Bigger is better. I think I have the 32MB video card with ADC and VGA connectors. Thanks!

MacBooks Pro are great Macs with a good hardware, so all of them will work for the use you want, but I think that you want the biggest display possible because of your uses. In this case, it has to be a 15-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro, with the settings you want. Note that, after buying the Mac, you can upgrade the HDD and memory without voiding the warranty, so you are free to install as much memory and the HDD size you want after buying it. It's my opinion, but you are free to do whatever you think it's better

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

When I try to open the "markets" page on the Firefox hompage, it displays for 3 or 4 seconds and then drops off; I get a white screen; this does not happen with Explorer.

When I open "markets" from the homepage, it comes up but drops off after a few seconds and
I get a white page. This does not happen with Explorer. A similar but much more extensive
problem happened a month or so ago (I couldn't open attachments). I called Microsoft and the
fellow messed about with my computer for an hour or so, but ended up saying he couldn't help
me. However, when he went away, the problems went away.

Every time Firefox opened

If you have RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin '''extension''', disable/remove the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension in the RealPlayer Preferences (RP: Tools > Preferences > Download & Recording) . Restart Firefox and test.
See Noah_SUMO's illustrated answer in this thread if the above is not clear: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/557689?
The RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin '''extension''' adds some extra features like saving media files.
Be sure not to get confused with the RealPlayer '''plugin''' (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) that plays media files.

TS4185 i am using the same apple id for facetime in my iphone and mac. now, only my iphone can receive and make facetime calls. why can't facetime calls in my mac get through?

i am using one apple id for facetime in my iphone and mac. my phone is able to receive and make calls while my mac is not able to do both. what is the problem.

thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?

Yes, Just sync them to the same calendar on your computer or internet, i.e. Google, Yahoo, etc.

The internet is the internet. if its not working then its something to do with your not allowing cookies from apple's site or they are having issues.

I was wondering if you ever figured this out. I have the same issue. When I try to use the support communities, there are so many with the same problems and never seem to be any replys?? Not very helpful and I can not get Apple to return my emails.

Recommended external display for MacBook Pro

Hi
Searching for any recommendations for an external display for my Macbook Pro late 2011?
Looking for something fast enough for games, decent size ie 27" or more for no more than £400.
If I had more I would want a Thunderbolt display so looking for closet things to a Thunderbolt but for half the price? Anyone got any recommendations?
Si

Any display will work. Go to the store and look at them.

External non Apple Displays for Macbookpro

Looking for 22-24" external display for macbook 17" -- uses: photography, video editing and showing, lots of word processing and some spreadsheet work, occasionally a game. $900 for Apple display just too much, let alone $1799 for larger Apple. Nice, but no cigar. So what is good and competitive in price out there and compatible (really) with the Pro?

So what you are saying is you want us to do the same Google searching, find what you want (how would we even know what that may be) then give you the information. But you can't (or won't) do that. But, I'm offensive for suggesting you do that yourself. Since I'm being so offensive why not add to that:
The Apple Discussions are a user-to-user collection of forums to provide help with Apple products. It is not a "buying service" to help users purchase non-Apple products nor to provide help with non-Apple products.
You can find what you want by doing some research. It takes some time and effort. If you were willing to see things from a different perspective you would see that you are simply saying you want me (or someone else) to do what you aren't willing to do - as opposed to doing something you are unable to do.
If that's really offensive then I apologize, and, you're right, this response is hardly worth my trouble.

Apple Id for Mutiple devices (IPhone / IPAD and Apple note book)

is it preferable to ahve the same apple ID and email address for both my divices (IPhone and my Apple book computer ?) or it is recommended to have a seperate one for each device ?

Yes it is preferable to use only one Apple ID for al Apple devices you own. In fact I think it is mandatory. Otherwise you can't sync all devices with iCloud and sign into the respective App stores at the same time.
Having more than one Apple ID becomes extremely confusing for you and Apple.

30" Apple Display - consistent color problems- 1/2 and 1/2

I'm a professional photographer that must provide technically precise and color-correct images to my clients. My old 23" Apple Display was awesome. This new 30" is good looking, but I've noticed that the left side of the screen is slightly warm and the right side is slightly cool. I'm still using the Color Eyes calibration software, which makes my screen look better overall, but it's still clearly different tones left to right.
Is there a fix for this?
For now I'm calibrating one side and only using that half for my color-correcting needs. Seems like a lot of money to pay for a bad monitor. Thanks in advance for any advice.

So, I took my faulty 30" back to my local Apple store, and because of a glitch in their repair scheduling software, they were forced to give me a brand new 30". NOW I have these little green flashing pixels that appear around edges of boxes. All over the screen, depending on where an edge is. ***?
I'll take this thing back on Monday, but I'm hoping someone will have an easy fix for me.
It can't be my computer since my original 30" display worked just fine an hour before hooking this new one up, right?
Also, worth noting: I attempted to perform the "advanced Apple calibration" in display preferences (but it wouldn't save it for some reason.) I've seen the green pixels ever since. It doesn't seem to matter which preset profile I choose- I still see these green pixels.

Can anyone recommend a process for moving just my OS and Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to the SSD?

I have an early 2011 MBP running Mountain Lion. I just removed the superdrive and added an SSD. I want to use it to boot from and also run Photoshop and Lightroom from. Can anyone recommend a process for moving my OS and those programs to the SSD?

I'm assuming your doing this because of data you don't want pernament on the SSD as they can' be scrubbed like hard drives can.
Disconnect any other drives.
1: Format the SSD 1 partition, click the box, option GUID and OS X extended journaled as the format.
2: Download Carbon Copy Cloner.
3: Clone your MacintoshHD partition to a blank powered external drive also formatted the same as above.
4: Hold option/alt key and boot the machine (wired or built in keyboard) and then select the clone to boot from,
5: Once in the clone, click it's drive name and change the name if it's the same as the OS X boot volume.
6: On the clone, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create a new Admin account.
7: If you need to move files between accounts on the clone, see this. Combine two+ Users Accounts on the same machine (be careful that your selecting the correct clones other account)
8: Once your moving files on the clone is complete, then log into the new user account and delete the old user account.
9: Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the clone to the SSD.
10: Use Disk Utiltiy to repair permissions on all drives.
The SSD should be moved to the HD slot and the HD to the optical slot and used as a file drive.
CCC has a option to not include certain folders like the other user account you don't want, however I tend not to recommend things that are not too far out of line with Apple's ways of doing things as it usually results in bad things occuring. Somewhere in OS X it's recorded of that other user account, so it might still show up in logins and such.
Also you may want to transfer some files to the other account, so that's why I recommend this method.
Good Luck
