Was there software included with the old style Cinema Displays?

okay, so I recently bought a 17" ADC LCD Apple Studio Display from its origional owner. I got the ADC/DVI converter to use it with my Mac Mini, so all I need now is the software it came with initially that the display was manufactured with to avoid wierdness from waking from sleep and using the onscreen button to controll the Mac. unfortunately the owner had lost the discs.
so this is where this post comes in, I've scoured the Apple Support site looking for this software, but with zero results.
anyone know where to get their hands on this stuff? the monitor is a 15" ADC LCD Cinema Display. any help would be super awesome!

Hi
As far as I'm aware the displays and adapter didn't come with any software. I've bought a couple of the old style Apple ADC displays in the past (and DVI to ADC adapters more recently) and can't remember receiving any software with them.
Using the adapter, the brightness button on the display should bring up the Displays system preference, but the power button will have no affect.
What wierdness when waking from sleep are you getting? That doesn't sound normal.

I have an HP Pavilion g7-1070us notebook computer. Recovery software included with the computer gav

I have an HP Pavilion g7-1070us notebook computer with Windows 7 as the operating system. The computer is a year and a half old and has never had problems. The recovery manager software included with the computer gave me an option to delete the recovery partition on the computer. I used to recovery manager software to delete the recovery partition from the computerr. Immediately after the recovery partition was deleted, all sorts of problems developed with the computer and Windows eventually crashed. I have attempted to reinstall Windows with the recovery discs I created with the recovery manager software on the computer. When I attempt to reinstall Windows with the recovery discs, I get the following error message screen.
"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1) Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2) Choose your language settings and then click next.
3) Click repair your computer.
If you do not have this disc contact your system administrator or manufacturer for assistance.
Windows Boot Manager
File:\Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc0000225
Info: An error occured while attempting to read the boot configuration data."
I have no system administrator as this is a single home computer. This computer is not connected to any computer network. No hardware or software changes were made to this computer for months prior to this problem occuring. No other indication of any other problems were observed prior to the use of the recovery manager software on the computer to delete the recovery partition. I sincerely regret using the recovery manager software to delete the recovery partition from my computer now.

Hi,
Assuming this is just a problem with the recovery media, here's an alternative option you could try.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the exact same version that originally came with your notebook - if your not certain, your notebook is listed as coming with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

PLEASE HELP! Does anyone have the software for the old 20" cinema display?

CAN ANYONE HELP?! Does anyone have the software for the old 20" cinema display model number M88932M/A? (brought early 2004- the version with no control button) I can't find my manual or software CD for my Apple Display anywhere - I can't remember if the screen was even shipped with them. Because do not have this software I can't control anything to do with my screen e.g the brightness/contrast etc.
I can't find the link to download the software anywhere on the apple website! (I have spent hours looking). If you know the link, I'd be really grateful if you could email it to to me. Or does anyone have the software CD that I could borrow and then return immediately? Please get in touch if you do. Many thanks! email address: [email protected]

Hi Nathan,
Thank you so much that was very kind of you! You must have the same screen as me as mine is the clear fronted on too.
I have downloaded the OS X version, When I went to install it, but I got a message up saying the software was already on my machine. It must part of the Tiger OS, becuase I haven't installed anything.
I have a quick question for you . . . Should the software you put up for me enable to me run "Display Calibrator Assistant" in the System preference or is the software from the CD hidden something else and I am looking in the wrong place on my mac?
I did read somewhere when I got under the apple menu there should be a "monitor" menu - I don't have that but that maybe a classic thing?
Many thanks for you help I really appreciate it!

Will my MBA work with the new LED Cinema Display

I have a first generation MBA, model identifier MBA 1.1, and want to know if my mini display adapter will work with the new LED Cinema Display. I believe I have a micro-DVI that is different from the new MacBooks and MacBook Professional models that have a new Mini DisplayPort. If anyone is using this old MBA to new LED Cinema Display combination please let me know.

Scott,
The new display isn't shipping from Apple until some time in November so the only direct feedback you'll get is from anyone that's been to the store and played with the demo unit.
With that being said, it would appear (based on the system specs and requirements, posted on the site) that the new display requires the new adapter type that's found only on the new MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.

Are intel iMacs compatible with the M9177B/A cinema display

Are intel iMacs compatible with the M9177B/A cinema display please?

That Display has DVI input. So if you have a 2009 iMac with MiniDisplay port output as your profile suggest's...?
Then you will need a > Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.) and maybe a DVI cable if one is not with the monitor.

What software works with the old 7290

I just want to move pictures and ringtones back and forth from my computer to my old 7290 and for the life of me I can't figure out which software works with this old model. I have tried several of the newer applications offered by RIM but none of them weem to work with this older model. Any ideas?

You should be able to 'see' the BlackBerry memory in the Meida Manager, and you can transfer small files to the Content Store on the BlackBerry using the Media Manager. Just remember that you are using the base memory on the BlackBerry for media files and you shouldn't get too crazy with files transferred to it.
Try installing v4.2 Service Pack 2 and using the Media Manager and seeing if the BlackBerry device memory option shows up at the bottom of the screen. When you open the memory you should see some file folders and you should store the files directly into the file folder appropriate to the media, and not use folders inside the original folder so the BB will 'see' the files when you use your Profile options to select ringtones or background photos.

Should I install the Kaspersky Internet Security Software included with the purchase of a new MacBook Air, OS X.

Should I install the Kaspersky Internet Software included free with the purchase of a new MacBook Air OS X?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You mustn't. Apart from the fact that OS X doesn't need an antivirus (OS X has got its own security systems), commercial antiviruses like Kaspersky can do more harm than something good for your Mac. See > http://www.reedcorner.net/mmg
If you want to install an antivirus, install Sophos or ClamXav

I downloaded firefox 8 on neww computer and accidently replaced new toolbar with the old style. How do I get bck the new toolbar?

When setting up foxfire 8 on my new computer I had the new toolbar at the top with the orange button on the top left. In the process of set up I accidentally replaced it with the former toolbar that is tiny and at the top left with file,edit view etc. I'd like to go back to the new type toolbar, but am not savvy enough to figure out how. Thanks for the help.

Right-click at the top, in the blank portion, next to your tabs and un-check the "Menu Bar". You can still access your Menu Bar by pressing the "ALT" key, if and when you need to.

Where can I find the old 20'' Cinema Display?

Hello, I was wondering where I can find the old 20-inch cinema display (I believe it's called) The ones more popularly seen with Power Mac g4's. They have a somewhat clear base like the iMac's. I remember seeing them in stores close to a year ago, when some places still carried g4 power mac's. If I remember right these are a bit cheaper then the new cinema HD displays. Please respond. Thank you for your time.

Hi Tom,
With ADC, video, power and USB feed are all routed through one cable connection. This is a special connection system unique to Apple computer, which is being phased out (as the modern Apple moniotrs have gone back to DVI so that they can also be used on PC's).
These specs:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermacg5/stats/powermac_g5_quad2.5.html
suggest that the stock video card the G5 Powermac Quad 2.5 ships with will only supply DVI output. If that is the case, then you will have to use a DVI to ADC adaptor such as as this one:
http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0111-DVAD
To use this type of adaptor, you need a DVI port and a free USB port on the computer.
Cheers!

Are the all silver cinema display still worth getting?

I'm getting a mac mini anf will need to get a new monitor for it. I was on ebay and saw the all silver cinema displays on theren for arounf 200 dollars. Are those still worth the money and are they good monitors?

This new display is designed for use with the new MacBooks. If you want a dual display solution that works with the current iMacs then you need to buy one of the current Apple Cinema Displays.
Future Apple Cinema Displays will be using the new DisplayPort interface which will require a mini DVI to DisplayPort cable to be used with current iMacs.

I install LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary? How do I do this if so?
I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
Thanks again for your help.

Hello cheech07,
The following article contains directions that can help get you back on track with iTunes. I'd recommend picking up at 'Part 5' of the 'External drive' section.

here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
