Titanium 400/500 displays compatible with Gigabit 550/667 models?

Hi. Just wanted to ask if anyone's sure re. compatibility of the first-generation Titanium 400 and 500 model displays with the second-gen Gigabit ethernet models? I've written in another post here re. a problem with my Gigabit 667 screen: 3 horizontal bands, each 1/3 of screen, with bottom third all white, while desktop shows up in top 2 bands. Weird.
I have a couple of Titaniums with broken logic boards, though displays and hinges seem ok. These are from G4/500 Titaniums.
I've found vague mentions of compatibility on the web, with some saying it "should" work; but does anyone have the "definitive" answer? It's a tough replacement job, so would like to be sure before tackling it.
Many thanks.

Hi, you need to be careful if you need parts for a 'second' generation tibook as there are two versions of the 667MHz. The VGA and the DVI which can be determined by the monitor port in the back.
The 400/500/550/667 are interchangeable only with the VGA version and can be identified by the white/pink leads to the backlight. If you have white/grey these are the DVI version and will not work with VGA tibooks.
Doing the monitor swap can be a real pain, if you have forceps this will be useful for unplugging your backlight leads if you don't want to do a full strip down. If you go the 'lazy' route I would highly recommend you tape the end of your ribbon connector once you unplug it from your motherboard. If you don't you stand a good chance of cracking the plastic ribs that run between the wire leads. Also be super careful when pulling this wire out the back.

    Is the thunderbolt display compatible with Dell laptop (Latitude 6430)?

    Since the specs for the Dell laptop (Latitude 6430) do not list ThunderBolt as one of the supported bus structures that means it does not have a ThunderBolt port to connect the ThunderBolt display to. Hence is not compatible.

    Hi,
    I was wondering whether, since the macbook pro with retina display has no cd rom drive, whether the MBP is compatible with the share disk utility like the mackbook air

    there should be no reason why it wouldn't be, as that's a feature of the OS, not the hardware.

  • Are there any displays compatible with 14" iBook G4???

    I've been doing a lot of video editing etc. on my computer for a while now and school work is piling up. I'm planning on getting an iMac next summer but I would really like to be able to use my ibook as a desktop computer. From what I have read none of the displays that apple currently sells are compatible with ibooks because of the graphics card or something. I found out though that you can have a display connected and use both screens. But is there a way that you can have your computer running and closed with an external display to use the computer like on all the new macbooks? I don't need it to be a apple monitor or anything i just need to know if there is any solution..

    as a guess, any LCD with VGA input supposed to work thru a little VGA adapter that comes with the iBook.
    you could probably work with the display lowered if there is something (thin plastic etc) is placed between the base and the display, sleep is activated by the magnetic switch in the display and the magnet at the base
    working with the display lowered could cause heat issues probably, maybe not a good idea

  • Is the 30" display compatible with late Macbook?

    I have 3 apple laptops: MacBook Pro 2.4 (late 2007), a Macbook Air (early 2008) and a Macbook (early 2009). Are they all compatible with 30" apple cinema display? What's the best resolution Ican achieve with each one of the 3? Thanks so much.

    Nope! Just the good old 30"...
    The thing is that I went to a local apple shop and ask a guy to try and connect my new Macbook 2.4 (with the Mini Display/DVI adapter) to a 30" display, and the result was just terrible! I think the definition of the 30" was 800x600 or something!!! Just impossible....
    The guy told me that would be the the best the new Macbook can do with the old 30" :-/, he "advised" me to buy the new 24" LED!...
    Do you believe this???

  • Are Dell displays compatible with Mac?

    I will buy a new monitor like the cinema 20. I have read reviews etc until my eyes watered and have come up with only one alternative, the Dell 2005FPW. I do want a 16/10 aspect ratio. They use the same LCD panel and seem pretty equivalent except more inputs and half the price. The reviews don't say PC only but the specs say platform PC. Some posts on this forum say that their Dell LCD is great. Which is right? Is the Dell 2005FPW compatible with my FW800 with OS 10.4?? You think Apple will drop their price? Thanks
    Bob

    In general they are but the big problem is brightness; they are very bright, and unless you have a brightness slider in you displays window in system preferences I don't see a way of adequately controlling it without a profiler.
    I have a Dell 1704fpv PVA 17 inch flat panel on a Digital Audio G4 with a Radeon 9000 card. On both DVI and a VGA adapter on the DVI port, the brightness control range varies from way too bright all the way up to blindingly too bright. I used a ColorVision Spyder2Pro in conjunction with the RGB sliders on the monitor to bring it under control. However it does not make for easy brightness adjustments.
    If anyone knows of a better workaround I'd be very happy . . . such as a graphics driver that actually restores brightness control to Displays.
    No such problem with the Apple monitors -- proper brightness control on the monitor, and usually a slider in the displays window and function key control of brightness. However, the Apple monitors have very few other controls; out of the box they look pretty good, but to make fine adjustments to color balance, once again you'd have to have the color profiling tool.

  • DDR 500 memory compatible with MSI K8N Neo4 Platninum?

    Hi Folks,
    I have a MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum PCB version 1 (S939/Nvidia NForce 4 Ultra), running the latest BIOS version.  I wondered if DDR 500/PC4000 memory would work at DDR500 speeds?  I note that the MSI webpage for this mobo only mentions DDR400 and in the manual, the BIOS description under "Advanced Chipset Features" - "Memclock Index Value (MHz)" says the maximum speed is 200MHz.  However, when I go to this setting in my own BIOS, I can set it to 250MHz.  I assume that this should give me DDR500?  Would altering this "Memclock Index Value" above 200 MHz cause any other problems with FSB, CPU, HT, PCIe, PCI speeds etc. or is it completely independent?  Does anyone have any recommendations of what sticks would work best (I was thinking 2 * 1024 Mb of Corsair XMS or OCZ XTC).  Now that DDR2 is standard and DDR prices are creeping up, there doesn't seem to be much difference in price between DDR 400 and DDR 500 memory.  Evern if my mobo can't support it, is there any merit in buying DDR 500 memory and running it at DDR 400 or intermediate speeds?
    Cheers!

    The x2 4800 would run 10x250=2500mhz.
    With ddr500 it's beautifull,since you can use the cas latencies which are suited for the memory.
    I have to lower my timings a bit to run them at 500mhz.Not much though,but I don't know what the long term prospect is for my memory if I maintain that for long periods of time.
    As for running games,I found lower cas timings make my games run smoother opposed to the slightly higher ddr clock with slower timings.
    But as mentioned,set cpu vcore 1 step higher in bios,leave the memory at auto,set cpu fsb or HTT at 250mhz,and use the default multiplier of 10 or also leave on auto.'The memory runs in spec and you wont damage it,only the cpu's get another 100mhz and should be a little bit more spicey while temps shouldn't go much higher as it is now.
    The sticks should fit physically and I ran mine once at 266mhz stable,and they are just pc3200@200mhz

    Others have had bad experience with that drive (see "Maxtor 3200 500G drive problem?"). The solution was to return the drive and get a different drive.

  • Is Apple 27in Cinema display compatible with NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 for Mac?

    Can anyone tell me whether the new Apple 27inch Cinema display will work with the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 for Mac? I will use this on a MacPro with 2.66GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere” and CS5 (Adobe recommends the NVIDIA). It seems incredible that it doesn't for whatever reason.
    Thanks

    You will need a dual-link DVI to Mini DisplayPort converter.

  • Is an Apple Cinema Display (ca 2005) Compatible with Mac Mini?

    I have a 2005 Power Mac Dual G5/2.3 I took off-line last year. It used an Apple Cinema Display 20" that has it's own power supply "brick" and a cord with the monitor connection, a USB connection, and a FireWire connection. Is this display compatible with the latest Mac Mini? Thank you for any advice you may have.

    That's correct, the link perfectly describes the Apple 20" Cinema Display I have. With the new Mac Minis requiring an HDMI cable to link to a display, the HDMI to DVI (female) adapter looks like the one I need. I found this on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Gino-Black-Female-Converter-Adapter/dp/B006Z8N60C/ref=sr_1 _18?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1371158207&sr=1-18&keywords=hdmi+to+dvi+adapter+ca ble
    This adapter is an all-in-one plug with no cable linking the HDMI to the DVI ends. It looks like it might be too wide to plug in anything immediately adjacent to the HDMI socket on the Mac Mini due to the width of the adapter when the adapter is plugged in. However, I could get around this by purchasing an extension cable with HDMI male on one end and the HDMI female on the other if I had to.
    However, one of the comments said that the DVI is video-only and that another cable is required for audio. Can I assume that plugging in either or both of the other connections (a USB and a FireWire) coming out of the 20" display will take care of audio?
    That leads to another answer, but I'm confident that I'm almost there thanks to your help. Close enough to mark this as "solved". Thank you! Let me know if you have any further thoughts with regard to the audio though.

  • XSan with Gigabit Network

    Please,
    XSan solution is compatible with Gigabit Network? I have a XServer Xeon, XServer RAID but dont use a Fiber Channel cards, cable and connectors.
    Its Possible?
    Tks

    Do you have a fibre channel switch? If not, do you plan on buying one?
    You can connect the Raid to the xServe via Fibre Channel and present the volumes as Network Attached Storage. I do not think you will get enough bandwith for three Video workstations. You could try aggregating the ports of the server and the workstations through a managed ethernet switch.
    Ideally, you would connect all the workstations, the xServe and the Raid to a fibre channel switch and then install xSAN on each. This will will provide direct connection to the storage via the FC switch.
    There will be some overhead, as a portion of the Raid will have to be set up for the metadata of the files stored on the SAN.

  • What's a camcorder that's compatible with Final Cut Express

    Would you like to use tape or a tapeless storage variety?
    Tape cameras are miniDV or HDV, both work fine with FCE. HDV may well be out of the price range.
    A base model AVCHD camera (tapeless) will also be fine.
    Note: Standard AVCHD is OK but many cameras use variants like AVCHD Lite. Read the fine print.

  • CVP 7.0(2) web service element, is it compatible with WCF

    I'm looking for documentation on the Web Service element in CVP 7.0(2).
    The element specs guide for 7.0 doesn't have any thing on it only the 8.0 guide, what does this mean.
    Should I just build something Java?
    I will be using it with microsoft WCF to pass dialer-voicemail call results to our inhouse database, any advise?
    I know that it is compatible with WSDL or SOAP models but I would like to see usage samples, etc.
    thanks

    I am sure the element specs for CVP 8.0 which describe the Web Service Element are applicable to 7.x. Cisco had not updated that document since 2008 and then it was an Audium document with no Cisco changes. So I think that what you read here about the three "technologies" it can talk to is accurate.
    There is probably more discussion on the use of this element at the CVP Developer's forum.
    I've always rolled my own with Web service calls - using Apache HTTP Client as the transport and JAXB for the parsing and marshaling, but this is because I tackled this problem at CVP 3.0, when there was no Web service element. So I developed an architecture and stayed with it. But I would like to explore the built-in WS element.
    Some samples would be good.
    Regards,
    Geoff
