TV display connector

I connected my MBP to Denon A/V receiver, which output 1080p to a front projector. I now use a 18 pin DVI-D single link cable. If I change to a 24 pin dual-link DVI-D cable will I get better performance? such as higher resolution or faster refresh rate, etc?

thanks for the answer. My Denon A/V receiver has 29 pin DVI-D receptor, so I presume it accept dual-link resolution.
one further question: since the TV is 1080p, will getting the resolution output to 2560x1800 make the TV picture any better?

How to connect my studio display with a Apple display connector to my new mac mini

How can I connect my studio display with a Apple display connector to my new mac mini?

OS 10.4.6 and display connector

In March I got a G4 Mini to replace my old Mac. In the formidable process of getting all my functions to work on the Mini, I would have to swap computers several times, so I did not screw the connector from my monitor to the adapter on the Mini.
In a month, I removed my old Mac from my desk. In the next two hours, my Mini's response to mouse clicks was a little erratic. Then the screen went blue. I reached back to be sure the display connector was seated.
I restarted and the screen remained blue for several minutes. I restarted again and saw faint flickers of my desktop. In a few minutes the desktop suddenly appeared. I could find no indication of trouble in the logs.
It worked fine for eight days. Then the response to the mouse and keyboard became slightly erratic. The next day I started the computer and told Internet Connect to dial. The screen went blue, but there were a couple of flashes when I saw that Internet Connect was keeping track of my online time.
Six times I restarted and let it sit five minutes with a blue screen. Once I disconnected the power supply for five minutes. I zapped the PRAM. It looked fine on the Install disk, which found no hardware problem, but blue was all I got from the hard drive.
I removed the Mini to use my old Mac to find Apple's phone number. When I hooked up the Mini two hours later, I screwed down the display connector. I had to back out one screw a turn or two so the connector would seat fully and I could engage the screw. The Mini started immediately. The System Log seemed to say that all the startups that day had been normal. I could find no record of a crash in the last few days.
Was the problem ambiguous continuity in the connector? I want to be sure. Is OS 10.4.6 more sensitive to a display connector problem than is the Install disk? Under 10.4.6, can a problem in the display connection cause a misreading of keystrokes and mouse clicks?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you "reached back" as you say, you may have
inadvertantly bent the connector plugging it into the
Mini. The bend may be ever so slight as to not be
noticeable, but the computer would be sensitive to
it. When dealing with computer connectors, it is
important to remember to pull them evenly out and
push them evenly in, being observant that the pins
are matching the holes, and not move them at an angle
from each other when the connection is taking place.
What I called "reaching back" was reaching forward. It was after the screen turned blue. I could see the connector on the back of the Mini. I pushed it directly toward the connector on the Mini. Nothing moved, so I assumed it was fully seated. I didn't realize the screw might have been interfering.
Try a different display to see if the connector of
the display itself, or the connector on the Mini is
what is damaged.
I assume screwing the connector down during the second incident has eliminated the possible electrical problem.
Activating the dialup connection may have triggered
the display to go wild if something is wrong with the
connector or cable's shielding. It is unlikely to
happen because the voltages and RF created by the
modem is so little, but I wouldn't say it is
impossible.
Making the dialup connection proved that the computer continued to work after my screen went blue.
The fact the logs say nothing suggests the problem is
more than likely to be just between the connectors
and cable.
That sounds right to me, but I want to understand two loose ends in case something else is wrong:
1. In each incident, why was the first symptom an inconsistent response to mouse clicks?
2. Why did it work fine when I booted from the Install disk?
Your reference to RF may point to the answers. I should look at a pinout to see where the sync pins are in that connector. Suppose the screw was keeping the connection physically open on one side so that a sync pin was barely making contact. If it opened to the point of invisibly tiny sparking, that could have interfered with the click signals of my wireless mouse.
If the connection opened a couple of microns more, I would have lost my sync. I wonder if the loss of a sync signal causes an SVGA CRT monitor to go blue.
Why would I still get a display if I booted from the Install disk? It probably had a different refresh rate and maybe a different scan frequency. In the case the sync voltage may have been high enough to jump the bad connection.
If that's a reasonable explanation, I can feel confident that the only problem was an unscrewed connector.

IPhone 3GS display connector?

Hi guys i have big problem with iPhone 3GS display,so i need your help here,i was changing battery on my device and the when i wanted to put back display i saw that connector 1 is hard to put on on connector on motherboard so i saw that conncetor one don't havetwo pins ,i know that i need new cable or new display can you please tell me can just replacew another ribbon cable because my LCD display is not broken,if you didm't understad this is the problem,so can i do anything or i need to buy new LCD display.

Your question is a little difficult for me to understand. If you think the LCD Display connector on the Ribbon Cable #1 is damaged, the fix is to purchase a new LCD Display. The Ribbon itself is not truly a replaceable part that I know of.
When working on an iPhone 3GS the iPhone must be OFF, or you risk damaging the LCD Display or the Logic Board components that control the LCD Display.
I do not understand how you know “don’t have two pins”? I have never heard of this problem? If you really know that two pins are out, then also examine the #1 connector on the Logic Board to be certain is has not sustained damage too.

110 vs 220 Power - Apple Display Connector

I recently moved from a 220V power country to a 110V power country. My 2008 Quadcore MacPro switched over no problem, everything worked fine. My older 2.0Ghtz MacPro has two problems:
1. The fans run highspeed within minutes of turning it on. Very noisy, and definitely not due to heat. Cool - cold in the home and the computer has just started, yet they run loud and noisy.
2. The Apple Display Screen (plastic casing, 23" inch) doesn't light up. It hooks into the MacPro with the Apple Display Connector, thus no separate power connector. The MacPro clearly says on the back that it works with 110-220V power, so my assumption is that it will feed the proper power through the Apple Display Connector. The Display's front white on/off button lights up when pressed, so some power is getting through to it, the screen just doesn't lite up.
Any thoughts?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It can be used with any voltage, it has a universal power unit.

Computer turns off when mini display connector is plugged in

Every time I plug the mini display connector, my computer turns off and I have to restart it.
Any idea how to change that?
Thx

Yes, it's the mini display.... whatever its name is, from the apple store... and it used to not do that to my computer

Dual Cinema displays, connectors too close

Oh so I have a dual display card and 2 20in cinema displays. The connectors on the video card are too close together to accommodate the fat plugs on the 2 cinema displays. I had to other branded displays and the connectors fit nicely. Is there an extension to fit on these to bring them away from the computer without having to swap out the card?

Your Mac Pro should have come with a short DVI(M) to DVI(F) extension cable with small connectors. Use it for one of the displays.

IMac display connector on logic board

Does anyone know the part number or part description for the connector on the logic board that connects to the display (tdms) cable on an iMac G4? On the logic board, where the old one was, is the notation "j10". The person I got this iMac from tried upgrading the hard drive and accidentally ripped the connector off because they didn't unclip the tdms cable from the drive first.
I figure soldering a new connector on should be a pretty easy fix, but I'm not sure what part to order. I know a few places that I could probably order it from, once I know what I'm ordering.

Seems to me a similar question has appeared in these boards, and
there are a few people who are regulars, that may know the answer.
Been awhile since I've seen the posts regarding this topic, so I can't
just put a link to the correct discussion at this time. Maybe the post
could appear as part of a search; such a dragnet approach may be
daunting and the yield well beyond the scope of your needs.
A slightly different discussion than I recall, but near the neighborhood:

Is there a close-up picture here of the connector in question?

Apple display connector to vga adaptor

I am looking for an adaptor (to VGA or DVI-D)for a 2004 vintage Apple Cinema Display. The ADC is rounded sides per photo below. I want to use this monitor with a desktop PC but am unable to locate an adaptor. Any suggestions ?
PS - virtually all searches produce newer style adaptors but not one which will work with this setup.
Suggestions appreciated.

Nokia 5800 - trashed display connector

Hello, everyone.
I've got working display and working touch screen, but my display port got destroyed in result of a mistake I've made during the repair. All I want are my contact stored in the phone memory. I there a possibility to connect the phone using USB (which I tried and failed to do so) and extract precious contact using Ovi?
Thank you all.
Moderator's post: This post is edited. Please note that we do not allow the discussion of any unauthorized repair method in the forum.

iSSS,
Welcome to Nokia Discussions
Does the phone still boot? If yes, please proceed below. If not, you may need to send the phone to an accredited Nokia repair shop.
Have you already tried installing the latest Nokia Suite? If not, you may get it here. The reason why OVI Suite does not recognise the phone because the default usb connection might have been previously set to "mass storage mode". By installing the latest Nokia Suite, there is a chance that the phone once plugged it will override and automatically switch to PC/Nokia Suite mode.
Good luck

PS3 Apple Display Connectors

Hi guys,
I've got me a lovely PS3 and i'm soon buying a new mac with the 23" cinema screen. As i connect my ps3 to a normal tv via an HDMI cable, am i able to do that with an apple display i.e. does it have an hdmi in port or do i have to use some other connection and lose the high definition playing?
Thanks,
Andy

I don't even think you will be able to play games. Because I don't think PS3 can support 1920x1200.
You might need a scaler/converter. Gefan makes a good one, look here:

(Note: it supports HDCP as well)

Macbook screen dying problems - display or connector?

Hey there guys, I have a serious problem with my Macbook (2007, old style) and have had it for quite a while, but it's getting worse it seems and it's stopping me from using 1 half of my screen effectively, there is a flickering line down the left hand side of the screen which is either green or purple and when I move my display it flickers and sometimes engulfs the entire left half of the screen. Now a new problem has arose as the screen turns into an odd kind of negative effect (it isn't fully negative as it is not countered out by making the screen go actually negative).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0wdb-W0IY0
Now I have been to the Apple Store with this problem, but as my Macbook is out of warranty it would cost £330 for a new display, but I'm thinking of trying to fix it myself and as I see it it can be 1 of 3 problems:
- Display is broken (buy a new display)
- Connector is loose (reattach)
- Connector is broken (buy a new connector)
So my question is: do you reckon this is a display fault, or connector fault?
Thanks a lot for reading this and helping me out if you do.

Personally I find my MBA to work perfectly for what I use it for which is mainly school related work; Word processing, data processing and internet browsing.
There are plenty of comparisons you can find between the MBA using a SSD to the MBP without one in an attempt to show which is faster but there's really no way to accurately compare them. A better processor and GPU will increase performance in some applications while in others an SSD would give a better output. It depends on whether what you're doing can take advantage of all your CPU's potential, and possibly use the GPU to help compute, as well as what it's actually doing and whether the HD comes into play often or not.
The MBP has a faster processor and a better GPU. While this translates into more graphical and computing power it does have a slower HD read/write. On the other hand the MBA has a slower GPU and CPU but the SSD does make up for some of that with extreme read/write times allowing for faster data transfer.
In the midst of all this technological babble I'll just say that you would most likely get more out of the MBP than out of the MBA. The SSD is great but it does decrease your storage amount by a good deal. However, the sheer power of the i7 makes the MBP a monster of a machine and the MBA still using a Core2Duo makes it slightly weaker overall, purely in my opinion, as I'm not looking at any spec sheets.

External Display not being found

Hey i posted this under macbook display but no one really goes in there so can you guys help??
Hi recently i borrowed a friends official apple mini-dvi to video adapter to watch a movie with my macbook. He uses the cable with his iMac. I tried plugging it in, the screen flashes blue then nothing appears on the tv. no picture nothing. i tried restarting with it plugged in, restart without, putting it to sleep plugging it in then waking it and nothing works. so i thought maybe the cable is broken. so i go to my friend and we hook it up the same way i was with his iMac and it works so we unplug his and plug it in to mine and it still does not work. HELP???

Your display may not be on the "approved" list, or was removed from it.
Apple's new MacBook lines includes a form of digital copy protection that will prevent protected media, such as DRM-infused iTunes movies, from playing back on devices that aren't compliant with the new priority protection measures.
The Intel-developed technology is called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and aims to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across a variety of display connectors, even if such copying is not in violation of fair use laws.
Among the connectors supported by the technology are the Mini DisplayPort found on Apple's latest MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air, in addition to others such as Digital Visual Interface (DVI), High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), Gigabit Video Interface (GVIF), and Unified Display Interface (UDI).
Apple has apparently acquired a license for the technology and is now using it across its DisplayPort-enabled MacBook lines to to prevent transmission of purchased iTunes content (and some DVDs) to devices that don't include support for HDCP.
