Studio 21" CRT with Windows

I'm not an Apple user - but it's not my fault - I was raised up that way, honest! Hopefully someone will take pity on me and answer my question.
I recently aquired an Apple 21" CRT Studio monitor (so far haven't dislocated any vertebra, and no hernia as yet) and would like to use it with my PC. I connected it, but the image is very narrow. Of course no physical controls on the monitor for adjusting properties.
I'm wondering if this is possibly because I don't have the software required to adjust the display settings, or if this monitor should be compatible without the software and I just have a bad unit.
I see that "Apple Displays Software (AppleVision)" is downloadable, but can it be installed on Windows XP?
Appreciate any help!

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
I also was a pure PC user for over 20 years until I finally had the 'guts' to cross the line
I couldn't find any Windows software for the Display.
To my knowledge the Apple Displays Software is for Mac OS only.
Maybe these specifications and the Timings Table can help you adjusting: http://support.apple.com/specs/displays/AppleStudio_Display21.html
Depending on what graphics card you have installed, maybe by adjusting the timings in the 'Control Center' of the graphics card driver, you can get the full size.
Good Luck
Stefan

  • Lenovo Yoga with Windows 8 Pro, Office 2013 and Visual Studio

    For you developer types, I just wanted to post a message and let you know my experience with Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 as a development machine. I bought Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 from Bestbuy for $999.99. As expected, it came with a crap ton of bloatware installed by Lenovo.
    Here is a summary of what I did to it (I take no responsilibity for accuracy of below information. You are on your own if you decide to follow them. I am just putting this down from my memory so that I can look it up in the future if I ever need to do this again).
    INITIAL CLEANUP
    Installed Lenovo hotfix for partition cleanup/merging: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS033035
    Installed Lenovo Touchpad driver fix.
    CAUTION: I take no responsibility for below steps. I am writing them from memory and if you decide to follow them and end up making your machine unusable, you are on your own as Lenovo might not honor your warranty.
    BACK UP ENTIRE DISK (requires an empty USB flash drive for booting and another external USB drive for backup)
    Copied Drivers from D_Backup folder to the external USB hard drive (plugged into USB 3.0 port).
    Installed Paragon Backup & Recovery 2012 Free: http://www.paragon-software.com/home/br-free/
    Created Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive with default Linux recovery environment option (flash drive plugged into USB 2.0 port).
    Shutdown Lenovo Yoga.
    Plugged in the Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive (USB 2.0 port). 
    Pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS.
    In the BIOS, enabled Legacay mode and made Legacy high priority and saved the changes.
    The machine booted into Paragon Backup & Recovery mode. From there, made a backup of entire disk to the external USB hard drive.
    Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS. Turned off Legacy mode and switched back to UEFI boot mode and saved the changes and restarted the machine.
    Logged into the machine and verified that everything was good and checked the external USB drive to verify that the backup image was present.
    MAKE WINDOWS 8 PRO BOOT USB FLASH DRIVE (requires a second empty USB flash drive and a second computer with Windows 7. This USB Flash Drive has to be between 4GB to 32GB as Windows won't format 64GB flash drives to FAT32 mode)
    (Note: I installed Windows 8 Pro in UEFI mode. See http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/a/install-windows-8-usb.htm)
    You need a licensed ISO image of Windows 8 Professional Full version (not the upgrade version) from your MSDN or Technet subscription or create an ISO from the Windows 8 Pro full version DVD.
    Download Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool on the computer with windows 7.
    Plug in the second empty USB flash drive (has to be at least 4GB but less than 32GB) into the computer with Windows 7.
    Using Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool and the ISO file, create the Windows 8 Pro bootable USB Flash drive.
    Create a new folder on your computer disk, for example, C:\WIN8USB.
    Copy all the files from your USB flash drive to the newly created folder (created in the previous step).
    Right click on the USB drive icon in Computer window and select “Format…” from the context menu. Make sure you select “FAT32 (Default)” in “File system” drop down menu. Click “Start” and wait till the drive gets formatted. This step is needed because NTFS is not readable by BIOS in UEFI boot mode. During formatting, MBR is preserved so the thumbdrive is still bootable.
    Copy all the files from the folder you created earlier (C:\WIN8USB, for example) to the formatted drive. Your Windows 8 installation USB drive is ready to install in UEFI mode.
    WIPE THE DISK PARTITIONS
    Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS, enabled Legacay mode and made Legacy high priority and saved the changes.
    Booted into Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive again. This time, I deleted all partitions on the primary disk (Disk 0). CAUTION: This WILL wipe your hard disk and will make your machine unusable!!! 
    Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS. Turned off Legacy mode and switched back to UEFI boot mode and saved the changes and shut down the machine.
    At this point, the disk is wiped clean. All factory installed software and recovery partitions are gone!!!
    INSTALL WINDOWS 8 PRO
    Plug in the USB Flash Drive with Windows 8 Pro install files.
    Windows 8 Installer would show the unallocated disk space. I can't remember the exact details but either I had to click on Delete or New to delete and then create a new GPT partition. The entire partition was about 119GB.
    From that point, follow the Windows 8 Pro installation steps.
    After booting up into Windows 8 Pro, plug the external USB drive that had the drivers folder backed up from D_backups.
    Install all the drivers from this folder (I was able to install everything except for one Intel fast boot one because of missing partition but my Yoga still boots up just as fast).
    Go to device manager to check and everything should be good now.
    Run Windows Update.
    You should now have about 101GB free on C: drive!!
    INSTALL VISUAL STUDIO, SQL SERVER and OFFICE 2013 ON LENOVO YOGA 13
    I installed the following in that order:
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition (I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
    Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
    Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Developer edition(I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
    Microsoft Visual Studio 2012(I installed all components, everything!)
    I ran Windows update and also installed Nov 2012 updates of SQL Server Data tools.
    I then installed Office 2013 Pro Plus.
    MAKE LENOVO YOGA 13 MORE SECURE
    Go to Control Panel and enable Windows Defender (it is included by default in Windows 8 and is anti-virus and anti-malware solution)
    Enable full hard-disk encryption using BitLocker feature of Windows 8 Pro. Since Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 doesn't have hardware TPM, you have to enable password based option. For this, follow the steps here: http://rics.partners.org/show_article.php?id=274. 
    Basically, you go to GPEDIT.MSC and Open Computer Configuration => Administrative Templates => Windows Components => BitLocker Drive Encryption => Operating System Drives. From the right pane double-click "Require additional authentication at startup. Select Enabled radio button and check the box for "Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM...". Click OK and close the policy editor. Then Right-click your C drive in the Computer folder, click Turn on BitLocker. Then select Enter a password instead of USB option. Then provide a strong password (make sure to write it down and put it in a SAFE place, if you lose the password, no one can boot into your hard disk). Then select Save to a file and save it to the External Drive. Select "Encrypt entire drive...", click Next. When this is done, you will get a pop-up on the lower-right a prompt to restart the computer. Restart your PC. Enter the encryption password created earlier. If you are successful in getting into Windows, you're all set.
    I also hooked up to Skydrive and used BoxCryptor to encrypt my files in cloud.
    The available free disk space should now be about 54GB.
    I verified that Lenovo Yoga 13 works like a champ with no slowdown with Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio 2012 and SQL Server Management Studio open simultaneously and Bitlocker enabled!
    The keyboard right SHIFT key is small but other than that, it can work as a great portable development machine and Microsoft Reader is great for reading PDF eBooks.
    So if you are a Developer on Microsoft platform, go right ahead. Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is great for running Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 (1600x900 resolution is totally usable) while on the move. Since I have only had this machine for a few days, I can't tell much about the long term reliability.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you for posting this. I am in this exact situation. I purchased a yoga 13, and installed Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone. As it turns out, the Windows Phone Emulator ONLY works in a Windows 8 Pro environment. Since the Yoga doesn't have a disc drive, I shared my W7 computer's cd drive, then put in Windows 8 Pro, so that it could install onto the Yoga. Well, after the installation was done, I tried running my program again and ran into the same issue. It prompted me that my environment must be Windows 8 Pro! I thought that Windows 8 Pro already installed but, what confuses me is that I see no indication that Windows 8 Pro installed. When I go to the System Window, it reads: "Windows 8". Should it read Windows 8 Pro?
    Ultimately, I'd like to know, are you able to execute the Windows Phone Emulator? I'm not sure as to whether the Yoga has the hardware capability (needs to be SLAT enabled or something like that?), I HOPE it is able to, and judging by your post, it seems like it but I'd love to know your perspective on my approach.
    Please let me know if this makes sense, as I'm new to this kind of thing but really want to start development for Windows Phone.

  • Request for visual studio that is compatible with windows 7

    I have installed many visual studio i.e, 2012,13 and they did not work in my system with windows 7 OS.Please kindly guide me with the 2010 or 2008 version so that i can develop my apps using it and please make sure that i contains all the specification
    of the visual studio 2010 / 2008.Thank you.

    I believe you are confusing an end product with an editor.
    All the editors written in the Visual Studio Library will work (allow for the creation of programs and websites on a computer) on Windows 7. The real question is what are you creating for the end user? Which version of .Net does it target?
    Visual Studio stopped becoming a .net version specific editor as of Visual Studio 2008, which at that time then allowed for different version of .net to be created, (.Net 2 and .Net 3, 3.5). Visual studio verison 2010 can create .Net 2, 3.5,
    and 4.  VS2012 can create all that 2010 can do and create .net 4.5x applications.
    So a better question would be which version are you targeting for .Net?
    Since Visual Studio is an editor, I recommend going with the latest one which can create programs to target .Net2 - .Net 4.5x. Try the latest Community edition
    which has just been released and is free to use as long as you are not a large corporation.

    I have VMware Fusion installed on my computer along with windows 7. I’m able to use Visual Studios 2012 & 2013; however, when I try to install SQL Server is says I don’t have a valid installation folder.  So I guess my question is, can you install SQL Server to a MAC?
    Thanks!

  • Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate with Update 4 Installation Hangs on "Windows Software Development Kit" step

    Hi,
     I am attempting to install Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate with Update 4 on a Windows 2008 Server R2 machine that also has Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate already installed.
    Unfortunately, the installation always hangs on the  "Windows Software Development Kit" step. I have let it run overnight and the installation process never gets past this step. I always have to just kill the process, and uninstall.
    I have validated the checksum of the ISO, run the .exe as administrator, and also tried to install the software to both the C and D drive.
    I have also tried to run the installation with all of the optional components checked as well as with none of the optional components checked.
    In addition, I have uninstalled visual studio 2013 using the /uninstall /force command
    I have examined the log files produced at C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Local\Temp and I dont see anything obviously wrong.
    Here are the last few lines of the dd_vs_ultimate_20150109195533_225_Windows_SDK_Desktop.log file

    Hello Thomas,
    "I have validated the checksum of the ISO" Do you mean you have used this page
    http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2013-iso-sha1-vs.aspx# to verify your ISO?
    Please send your full logs to me by use  http://aka.ms/vscollect . After using it, you will find vslogs.cab from %temp% folder. Please upload the file to
    https://skydrive.live.com/ 
    and share the link here.
    Actually you can refer to the following page to troubleshoot Windows SDK issue:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee248512(v=vs.100).aspx
    The recommend way is to manually install Windows SDK itself and check the logs in detail.

  • No JavaScript Intellisense in Visual Studio Express 12 For Windows Phone

    I'm developing mobile app for windows phone using Windows phone 8 SDK (Visual Studio Express 12 For Windows Phone). I want to use code auto-Complete facilities when coding in Javascript. For that I need to use Intellisense for JS.
    According to my knowledge, To configure Intellisense according to my knowledge,It have navigate to the [Tools] > [Options] > Text Editor > JavaScript > IntelliSense >
    But in my [Tools] > [Options] > Text Editor > list there is No item called JavaScript.
    Please help me for solve this.

    Hi AmilaEranga,
    I try to test it in my side, I could get the JavaScript Text Editor in my side.
    So I doubt that it would be your VS IDE issue. If possible, please download it from the official site here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30664
    And then repair your VS, test it again.
    Or you could run the following command lines with the Developer Command Prompt of VS2012:
    devenv /setup
    devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates
    Best Regards,
    Jack

  • Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows - InitializeComponent() does not contain a definition issue

    Hi,
    I have recently downloaded Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows (Windows Store App version), with Update 1.
    I create a blank app. I right-click on InitializeComponent() in the MainPage.xaml.cs and select Go To Definition. It brings me to the .g.i.cs file where this method resides.
    I go into the designer for MainPage.xaml and create a grid of 2 rows and 2 columns (all at 1*). I add one button, doesn't matter where. I double click on that button to add a click method to MainPage.xaml.cs. Without entering anything into the button click
    method, I scroll up and InitializeComponent() has an error and tells me there is not definition, even though I was looking at the definition a minute ago. I found I could unload the project and reload it and InitializeComponent() would have the definition
    in the .g.i.cs file but as soon as I add another button click or anything else I run into the same error. It seems as if the .g.i.cs file is not automatically regenerating, or it is being deleted all together when the button click method is added to the xaml.cs
    file.
    Everything I have done up to this point is very vanilla. I installed VS '13 Express for Windows, didn't change any VS setting, created a project and ran into this issue. I installed Update 1 thinking there might be a fix from the update--no luck. The xaml
    file Build Action is Page and the Xaml.cs file is Compile.
    I have tried deleting the MainPage.xaml file, after the creation of a project, and adding a new MainPage file with the added templates VS wants to include, and I still run into the same issue.
    I have searched for answers the past few days but haven't found anything that addresses my issue (most of what I found addresses VS '10 but their InitializeComponent() issues aren't the same as mine). Any help the MSDN community can provide would be
    a great help. If worst comes to worst, I will re-install VS and see if that corrects it--this would be a last-ditch effort though.
    Thank you for any help you may be able to provide

    Intellisense has a bug in VS2013 where it doesn't recognize InitializeComponent when you start working on the XAML.  My feeling is that if you try to compile this app, it will run fine (as long as there are no actual errors).

    If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.
    NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined
    objects and unknown namespaces.

  • Mac Mini and 17" Studio Display CRT (ADC)

    Is there someone who can tell me if there is a DVI to ADC Adapter to get a Mac Mini to work with the beautiful 17" Studio Display CRT (ADC). Which is an anolog monitor, the adapters i can find work only on LCD (digital) screens.
    Please let me know...
    Ger

    Do NOT buy the Apple DVI to ADC adapter, it does not work with CRT displays.
    The 'geniuses' at the Apple store recommended that I buy this adapter. It didn't work. I have since found out (after extensively surfing the web) that I am not the only one who has been recommended to buy this adapter by an Apple 'genius'. However, It is simply not designed to work with the CRT's, it is LCD only.
    There is no way to make the ADC 17" CRT studio display work with new non ADC Apple hardware. Apple have simply dismissed it, much to the annoyance of all the customers who had purchased this perfectly respectable display.
    If you want to use your Mac Mini you will need to use either a non-Apple display or one of their new displays. Your perfectly functioning CRT is now a doorstop.

  • Programming for College with Windows Apps on bootcamp HELP?

    Hello everyone I come to you for help after a long search for the perfect laptop.
    Right now I am using a macbook late 2009 with multitouch. I love the features but after signing up for some programming classes for college I had to revise what laptop I should own.
    My question is if I'll be able to program on bootcamp with Windows 7 with windows applications like Dev C++, Microsoft Visual Studio, Eclipse, an assembler and the like with 100% compatibility?
    I am on a very low income but I think that Apple really gets it when it comes to mobile laptops. I haven't found anything comparable to a Macbook anywhere. I've seen some imitations like the HP Envy but when you look closely they do not come close.
    Laptop PC makers just don't get it with their 2 hour battery life, "Desktop replacements" and heavy laptops. What is the point of all that if it's not mobile.
    I can only own one laptop and I will upgrade to a 15 inch because I need the screen real state. I'm hoping that the answer will be YES to compatibility with programming applications on Windows 7.
    One last thing, I've heard of Xcode but college teaches on Windows Applications, there is no way around it. I need to use what everyone else is using right now.
    Thank you all.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    running Windows with BootCamp on a Mac is like running Windows on any other given computer.
    Those programs you mentioned shouldn't give you any kind of problems.
    Only very low-level BIOS and/or hardware programming (in assembler) can arise problems due to some differences between Macs and 'other' PCs (like the lack of a full BIOS support).
    Other than that you're good to go.
    Have Fun

  • Bootcamp With Windows 8.1 Virtualization Issues On Start

    Hi All
    Ive just purchased a new 13 inch MBP Retina with 8GB Ram
    I am a Microsoft Developer, specialising in mobile, so I installed Windows 8.1 on bootcamp, and am using windows this way 2/3rd of the time (I also use my MBP for OSX a third of the time)
    When I go into Mac system preferences and restart as bootcamp, my Mac restarts in Windows with virtualization enabled, which is essential as I am running Visual Studio's dev tools including Windows Phone Emulators.
    If I've booted into Windows via bootcamp (virtualization is enabled) and then do a restart in Windows, the virtualization is still enabled - great!
    However, if I hibernate my Mac while in Windows, or shutdown windows (which is a form of OS hibernation with Windows 8), and then restart,  the virtualization is disabled, and my emulators will no longer spin up.
    I have tried restarting windows via the bootcamp control panel in Windows, but that doesnt fix it.
    The only way to get windows running with virtualization on is to boot into windows via the bootcamp option in Mac preferences - EVERY TIME, so I am stuck with doing the following every time I want to use my mac for windows development:
    1) startup in windows
    2) Using Bootcamp control panel restart OSX
    3) In mac system preferences retart Bootcamp
    4) start Visual Studio and emulators
    Surely there must be a way of getting this to work seemlessly

    Folks,
    If you scratch beneath the shallow Apple support surface, you'll find out that this issue has been around since 2008 (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=821551).
    There's nothing wrong with Windows, and your hardware (Intel CPU that is) support virtualization. What Apple support doesn't tell you is that engineering has a bug with firmware that causes this. There's also a well known workaround, painful but workaround (http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/122071/106730).
    What infuriates me is the fact that
    1. Apple support deceives and send people away by claiming there's nothing wrong (read "lies")
    2. Engineering knows about it and does very little to address it properly moving forward (read "ignores")
    3. Consumers that just accept this as-is because it's Apple (read "stupidity")
    I'm vocal about it because it is unbelievable. It's 2014 outside, and Apple neither has a basic support tracking mechanism nor is transparent about what it's doing when providing support.

  • Cannot install my product using a long installation path with windows installer when a short installation path works fine

    Hello,
    I'm using Visual Studio 2010 to build a msi installer (windows installer 3.5). This msi will install all necessary files, dlls, documentation in order to have my application correctly installed and ready to run. One of my custom action allow to browse the
    installation directory the default path is c:\program file\company name\product name). In that case the install works fine ie succesful installation.
    However when entering a huge filename (>215 characters and less than 255 chars) such as: C:\Program Files\SITA\SITATEX v8\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789\0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789
    I get a dialog box:
    Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\SITA\SITATEX v8\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789\...\Single User Installation Quick Reference Guide.pdf. Verify that you have access
    to that directory
    "Try Again"           "Cancel"
    When I hit "Try again" button, I get another dialog box:
    The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2350.
    And the installation of my product fails.
    I can create the huge path (>215 chars) manually with windows explorer without problem. I'm using the same account(Admin) when running the installer and when I create manually the path
    Am I reaching the file path limit or? Any clue?
    Thanks for help

    Hi
    I have tried to install the product with the following path (198 chars): C:\Program Files\SITA\SITATEX v8\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789\0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR the
    installation did not succeed but this time no dialog box, no error was displayed. The installation just failed
    I then tried with 180 chars: C:\Program Files\SITA\SITATEX v8\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789\0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
    with same result. The installation did not succeed and no dialog box, no error was displayed.
    I tried with 175chars
    C:\Program Files\SITA\SITATEX v8\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789\abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789\0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstu
    and this time the installation was successful.
    I have captured the events with
    processmonitor and I have uploaded 2 additional files (LogfilePath175charsSuccessfullInstall.zip and LogfilePath198charsInstallFailed.zip) to Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com) at the same
    place http://cid-35bc4002ff715ab5.office.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public?uc=0 for your attention.
    Thank you
