Studio display Question

Hi I have a couple of questions I have a apple. Studio. Display 17in and I was wondering if I could hook up to an 2010 macmini and if thr is special connectors for connecting it to the display also won't mind buy them also it has mountain lion installed

The ADC system is actually DVI signaling combined with power through the SAME cable and plugs
You need to get the adaptor referred to by Malcolm above in the link.
This is an external power supply with DVI pass through and USB - AND they are not cheap even used you will be looking at $100 +
There are cheaper ADC/DVi devices but they are NO USE because they won't provide power !
You then need a Mini Displayport to DVi (Not HDMI) adapator.
Its doable but costly.

17" Studio Display Problem/Question

The bottom right light/button on the display started constantly blinking and the top portion of my screen has decreased in brightness. The bottom portion looks fine. Any ideas on the problem?

Heres an update to what I have done.
I took the G4 to work and put in a PCI card from another machine. I connected it to a CRT monitor and it worked fine. All the resolutions support showed up. So it has to do something with the studio display and or the nvidia card.

ADC Studio Display 17" USB not working

Hi,
I hope someone can help.
I have a 17" Apple Studio Display that connects via ADC left over from my old Powermac G4. I recently bought the new Mac Mini (Unibody) and an Apple DVI to ADC Display Adapter to use with the HDMI to DVI Adapter to connect with the Apple Display.
This works perfectly however I have noticed the USB ports on the back of the display does not work. Could this be because the Apple DVI to ADC Display Adapter can not supply enough power via the connected HDMI to DVI Adapter to support the display and its USB ports? Is there a way too get them working again?
Thanks.
Chris

Hi. Thanks for that. As you say there must be something wrong with my display's USB circuitry then.
Just one more question, is the USB cable from the DVI to ADC adapter only for supplying power to the USBs on the display? Since the display's USBs are not working, will the adapter still work and power my display without using the USB connecter from this adapter? If so this will free up one of my USB2 ports on the mini.
Thanks again.

New Mac Pro Won't Work With Old Studio Display

Hi,
Just got a new Mac Pro Desktop 8-core only to find out my old Apple Studio Display 17" won't work without a $100 adapter. We're thinking of just buying a new monitor instead. My question is will other brands now work direclty with the new Macs - or would they also need adapters? Is a DVI port the same as a DVI-D port?
Thanks for any info...

Thanks so much for the response, Malcolm, I really appreciate it! My old monitor is an LCD, but what we decided to do is since the adapter we found (and HAD to get from Apple directly) was going to cost $99!! We went and bought a brand new Dell monitor instead for $238 - it's fully compatible with the new Mac, and it's 23" (my old one was a 17") - so all's good!
Thanks again,
Jacki

Dual Studio displays and midi timepiece setup

I have a G5 dual 2.7 GHz - with a 22" studio display and am trying to setup a 17"studio display as a second monitor. I bought a DVI to ADC Adapter for the 17". But when i went to plug the USB cable in, found out that I don't have enough usb ports. There are 2 on the back and one is being used by my 22" display and the other by a midi timepiece. This is a pretty elementary question but could i just buy a USB Hub that would give me additional USB outlets? Any other suggestions?

Hi
The original AGP Graphics/Sawtooth G4 doesn't support graphics cards with an ADC connector, as the logic board lacks the extra power 'slot' just above the standard AGP slot, which provides power to the ADC connector and display. I expect that's why the stock graphics card you currently have doesn't have an ADC connector to begin with.
Similarly you can't really convert a VGA port, which is analogue, into digital DVI or ADC, which is needed for the Apple Studio displays. Adapters do exist, but they can cost $400 as they have to convert an analogue video signal to digital. You'd also lose some quality due to the analogue to digital conversion.
The options are:
Buy a replacement AGP graphics card with two DVI connectors, along with two DVI to ADC adapters. I don't think a Mac compatible card with two DVI ports (that would work in your G4 with x2 AGP) exists though.
Buy a second Mac compatible (PCI) graphics card with a DVI connector, along with two DVI to ADC adapters. The Radeon 7000 (now discontinued) or Radeon 9200 (still available) would be possible options. More info can be found here:
http://ati.de/products/radeon7000/radeon7000me/index.html
http://ati.de/products/radeon9200/radeon9200me/specs.html
Unfortunately neither option is cheap though, as in both cases you need two DVI to ADC adapters.

New Mac Mini / DVI / Apple 17" Studio Display

Greetings all.
I am contemplating purchasing new Mac Mini.
Currently using Mac mini / DVI adapter/ older Apple 17" studio display.
I do not intend monitor change at present.
Question is, which display adapter would allow me to use older DVI adapter/Apple 17" studio display?
Thanks for you time, looking forward to your response.

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.

No adapter available for CRT studio display..?

Hi everybody,
just got a handmedown old crt studio display:
http://www.theapplecollection.com/design/macreleased/images/studio17_side.jpg
i thought i'd get an adapter and plug it to my imac to increase screen real estate (have been using a VGA display for some time like that)
Not so simple; the ADC connector seems like it's giving me no choice. I also have a latest macbook, also with mini-dvi output and same issue therefore.
Have been browsing forums but all i could dig was info related to the flat LCD panels and newer. Same for manufacturers, all adapters point to newer monitors.
So it's like either i keep for the looks or buy an old powermac G4/450 to suit..? Are these the only alternatives?
I imagine I'm not the very first person to ever come across this situation and maybe someone will be kind enough to offer some advice/share experience?
Cheers!

Chiz,
I own: Samsung 191T+, 19-inch LCD; Apple 20-inch LCD; Apple 23-inch LCD. There is no question (in my mind) that the Apples are sexier looking. I like the wide screen and the design. But, the price is stiff. The Samsung has a traditional 3:4 aspect ratio as opposed to the Apple 10:16. The Samsung models ending in the letter T have typically been of higher quality.
You should spend some time on the MWave website and look at the various Samsung models.
My Samsung has been connected to my iBook (via the analog (VGA)) port and to my PowerBook and PowerMac (via the digital (DVI)) port.
I won't buy ViewSonic because of bad experiences (5 blown high voltage power supplies) on their CRT models. I have no experience with Sony nor NEC.
Unless you are a gamer, you can ignore reponse time. Resolution is fixed for the screen size. LCDs have a native resolution; unlike CRTs. All manufacturers lie about contrast and brightness.
I recommend buying monitors from local stores. That way you can inspect YOUR monitor before you buy it.
I would recommend that you call Other World Computing and talk to them about video cards.

2*17" Studio Displays and Mac Pro -

Hi,
I have two 17" Studio Displays and want to buy a Mac Pro. can anyone fill me in on what connectivity issues there are with this setup.
(I am sure this question has been answered - if so please post a link to the thread - I don't know enough to be able to sort through the answers when I searched)
Thanks very much
Aaron

If they are 17" LCDs with the ADC (Apple Display Connector)
<http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
then each will need a DVI to ADC adapter
<http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8661LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTgyNDg>
If they are 17" CRT with VGA connectors
<http://www.jestineyong.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/vga.jpg>
they will need DVI to VGA adapters.
<http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8754G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTI1NzQ>
One is included with the Mac Pro.
If they are 17" CRTs with the ADC, you cannot use them with a Mac Pro (or any computer without built-in ADC ports).

Used Apple Studio Display, Possibly Ruined

Hello all,
I purchased a used Apple Studio Display a few days ago and thought nothing of it at the time (I was picking up some used Macs for friends, and it was an afterthought). I figured, what the h*ll.
So anyway, I finally hooked it up, and was very impressed with the color calibration and overall usefulness of the monitor. The problem was it was very dirty and covered with scratches.
So, not knowing any better, I proceeded to use some glass cleaner on it, and this got a lot of black residue off the screen, which made things look noticeably cleaner. The bad news was that this was a lot of work, and I was looking for a more "quick and dirty" (poor choice of words, I suppose) method of getting it cleaned up. So I pulled out the "Goo Gone," a commercial product that smells a bit like oranges but which also has some petroleum distillates in it.
Anyway, long story short: Although the window cleaner and the craptastic miracle cleaner did a bang-up job insofar as the removal of the black matter, there are a few areas of the screen where I was a little too vigorous and have buffed the shine away, leaving a blurred image underneath. Who knew that the screen had a protective plastic coating? Not me, I suppose.
So I've googled around for some kits to repair the mistake I have made, and I'm coming up empty. I see multitudinous products for cleaning the monitor, and of course I wish I had found them before I endeavored to clean this monitor (it was disgusting, I tell you! Even with the blurring, it's still an improvement!). I still can't find a product to make this puppy shine like it's supposed to.
There remain a few noticeable scratches on the monitor, and of course I would like to buff those out if possible, but most importantly, I'd like to be able to get back the clarity I thought I was heading for (before I cleaned a little too hard!).
Responses chiding me for my overzealous cleaning behavior are discouraged, as I am primarily interested in climbing out of the hole I'm in, not in getting shoved further down it.
Thanks in advance,
Art

Well, I'm going to go ahead and answer my own question.
I attempted to take apart the monitor to take out the smudged glare screen. I was unsuccessful; it's glued directly to the glass in such a way that its removal would have made things much worse.
When I put it all back together, the monitor no longer worked!
Oh well, easy come, easy go.

Studio Display 15" Power supply

Hi to all.
I got a 15" Studio Display from a friend and want to connect it to my Powerbook.
The display has a cable with DVI, Power and USB plug.
As far as i understand, when connected to Powermacs you do not need a Poweradapter since it is then connected to the graphics card.
But the DVI port unfortunately does not supply power like ADC.
Questions: Is there an inexpensive way to connect to the Powerbook? Can you buy an adapter with the same specs? What are the specs?
Thanks in advance!

URGENT HELP NEEDED Re: 17" Studio Display ADC

Recently, I gave a good friend of mine my old PowerMac G4 500 with DVI/VGA connector. I also bought a 17" Studio Display (ADC) to go with it, but I thought that an ADC to DVI connector would work with the monitor. It doesn't because, as I learned later, the display uses an analogue signal that the adapter cannot translate for the computer. There are suggestions that the G4 500 does not work at all with the 17" Studio Display (ADC) but I don't know whether this is actually true.
So my question is this: are there any adapters on the market that will work with the 17" Studio Display and the PowerMac G4 500?
Been looking everywhere for info, but nothing concrete. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Apple and Dr. Botts DVI to ADC adapters do not provide the RGB analog signals needed for a CRT monitor. The Gefen adapter
<http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1203> does provide these signals but its power supply is not designed for the extra power a CRT display needs. See <http://www.applefritter.com/node/4008>
In the link, one person was using the Gefen adapter with a CRT, but the power supply was getting VERY hot. Buying the Gefen adapter and a new, bigger, power supply, would be the easiest way to get things to work. The only cable cutting would be moving the cable from the Gefen power supply to the new power supply. That would just be a two wire cable. If you can find the matching plug for the Gefen power supply, you wouldn't have to use the Gefen power cable, but make your own, which is probably better because Gefen might be using wires too small for the extra current.

Can I connect my old Studio Display to my MacPro Tower as a second monitor?

I'd like to hook my old Apple Studio Display (Clear body) to my MacPro tower and use it for my Pallets in PShop. Can anyone tell me the cable(s) I need to convert the studio display to the MacPro monitor port?
Any idea on pricing?

Nevermind. I figured it out. I need the $100.00 adapter.
