What 22" external display will work with the new, late 2008, macbook

I, like many others, have problems with my external display. My problem is the one second screen blackout that happens intermittently, more so when I am scrolling around a web site. The other problem being that the pictures are elongated sideways, i.e. a ball looks oval. I have the 2.4 aluminum macbook and a Samsung SyncMaster 2253bw external monitor. (I can get the monitor to stop blacking out by setting it at a lower resolution, but this does not solve the oval ball effect)
We are all waiting for a hoped for firmware fix for this, without any official word that apple is indeed working on one. My question is this, and its for folk who are thinking about buying an external monitor - Who has had a good result with a 22/24 inch monitor with the new macbook, and what was the monitor?

Thanks hsurfer. The link you have provided gives a helpful insight. Those with the macbook pro are able to switch from their 9400 graphics card to the better 9600 graphics card, which resolves the issue, at least with the samsung monitor. We who have the macbook however do not have the option. The problem does seem to clearly emanate from the macbook graphic card, lets hope that a fix is still around the corner, the latest firmware update clearly did not resolve it.
Im still looking for success stories, anyone who can say that their specific external 22'/24' monitor works fine with the new macbook?
kind regards
allan

I just received a new macbook pro. I am looking for a usb3 external storage 500 GB drive. Some manufacturers of drives aren't for sure their drive will work with the new lion system. Does anybody have any suggestions for drives that will workw

There seems to be a problem, just now, with the USB 3 ports on the new MBP's supporting eternal USB 3 drives. Some people have no luck at all - can't even recognize the drive - and some are reporting USB 2 speeds (those who drives are recognized). I'd call a dealer such as LaCie or OWC to see if they have USB 3 drives that actually work with MBP's with USB 3 ports. You may have to wait for a software/firmware update.

Which USB external MODEM will work with the latest MAC MINI?

Can anyone recommend an external USB modem (other than Apple's) that will work with the latest MAC MINI?
Thanks!

Hello!
I am very happy with the APPLE USB MODEM "MA034"

Oh yes, and it is white!

Will my old wall charger for Zen Vision:M will work with the (New) Z

i bought a wall charger from amazon for my Zen Vision: M 30GB, will it work with the (New)Zen? i just bought the Zen 6 GB and it doesn't comes with an adapter, pretty bad move there, well, does it has the same plug? i hope it's compatible. thanks

sebastiankf,
That third party adapter from your Amazon link is hard wired specifically for the Vision:M and will not work with any other Creative player unless it has the same pin-outs using the same docking interface. The Creative AC-5V adapters will either have a coaxial power plug connection that will work with most of the Creative hard disk based players, except for the original NJB and Zen Micro, or a USB Mini-B plug that will work with all of the flash players that have a USB connection and the Zen Micro.

Which lightscribe burner works with the new early 2008 Mac Pro?

Can anyone tell me of a brand and model number Lightscribe dvd burner that will work in my new Mac Pro?
Much Appreicated

With difficulty. You need really to have a cheap wintel box running preferably XP. Take the drive out and install it in the PC and from there you should be able to get lots of free flashing utilities from all over the net.

What non-Apple keyboards will work with the iMac?

We just got an iMac and it came with a wired mouse and a wired keyboard that we want to replace. What wireless keyboards will work that are NOT the Apple brand? Thank you.

You can use any USB wired keyboard with a Mac.
There are Windows keyboards (which will work, but have
odd 'other' key-faces.) And there are several third-party Mac
compatible keyboards with proper keys laid out for Macs.
Any reputable dealer often has these; and online, even more.
Doesn't the Apple Store page show a few non-Apple k/bds?
Good luck & happy computing!

What bluetooth speaker will work with the new IMAC 27"?

Is Bose better than JamBox? Can someone recommend one? Is the speaker built into the new IMAC 27" good enough without external speaker?

I would expect the Yosemite list to be about the same as what is well-supported today.
This guy (Mac Gizmo guy) has done some research and lists on his site cameras that work with Macs AND are available on amazon.com.
I believe his recommendations are accurate, BUT -- Full Disclosure: gets some payments from amazon for his service.

What camera/microphone will work with the new Yosemite telephone

What apple Cinema display will work with a Power Mac G4 ?

In order to try and free up some workspace I'm thinking of getting rid of my 19" Formac CRT VDU and getting a flat panel display as there are several on eBay at the moment.
I have a Power Mac G4, model no. M5183 and according to some info I found on Apple's site about identifying your Mac I believe this version is known as 'Power Mac G4 Digital Audio' (the headphone and speaker sockets are aligned vertically on the top left corner of the back panel).
So basically, can I hook any of the cinema displays up to it and expect it to work (I appreciate I'll probably need a VGA / DVI converter) or is it not as simple as that ?
Many thanks for any assistance you can give ?

Do you need something that is good or just something to display basic video? Do you want new or used? The original Rage 128 cards that shipped in the AGP G4's can usually be found on ebay for around $5-10 in abundance. They are pretty much bottom of the line as of today's standards, but provide a VGA connection and display decent video. There are some different RAGE models, but the original model is 2x AGP and has 16 MB of RAM.
You may be intersted in this auction on ebay:

What external modem will work with Satellite L500-1XL running Windows 7

Hi,
When in Spain I need to use dial up to the internet via Telefonica.
I am assuming the L500-1XL does not have an internal modem?
What external modem will work with the L500-1XL running Windows 7 ?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi
Youre right Satellite L500 doesnt have an internal modem so you need an external one.
I think you can buy every modem that is at least compatible with Vista. Alternative ask your authorized service provider or favorite computer dealer

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.

What version of Quicktime will work with Movie Captioner?

Does anyone know what version of Quicktime will work with Movie Captioner on a MacBook Pro, OSX version 10.2?

If you have a MacBook Pro you can't be running OS 10.2. If you are running OS 10.2, you have some other model Mac, not a MacBook Pro.
Can you provide the correct info?
 Cheers, Tom

Will a external Apple iSight work with the latest Mac Mini?

with a firewire 400-800 if it will what software do i need to take pictures and videos.
Many Thanks

Will a external apple isight work with the latest mac mini.
Yes (if the external iSight works.)
External iSights are great webcams, but they are getting old (as consumer electronics go) and some have had pretty rough treatment. You can test yours using the suggestions from this page:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
I suggest you disconnect other Firewire devices until you get your external iSight working with your mini.
If you do not already have an external iSight and are considering buying one now,
a new webcam (with warranty) may be a better choice.
Many available alternatives are listed here: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/

Use one of the following ways to connect your FW400 external iSight to a FW800 Mac port:
• To use the FW400 6pin-6pin cable that comes with iSight, you can use a 6pin-9pin adapter
like one of these:
http://tinyurl.com/ydsbb6m&emsp; (I use this one.)
http://tinyurl.com/cgll7o

• This Firewire 400-800 cable can work:

• Some report that this low-priced alternative cable works:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812189097
I suggest you disconnect other Firewire devices until you get external iSight working with your mini. Once iSight works when it is the only FW connected device, you can try connecting other Firewire devices to determine whehter you can use any of them without conflict.
... if it will what software do i need to take pictures and videos.
With your 10.6.3 mini, you can use QuickTime X, iChat, Photo Booth, iMovie, and some of the other apps that are installed with OS X. Your Mac's Help for each of these apps can tell you how to use them with iSight (or other connected cameras.)
Some more apps you can use are shown in this list:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html
The web links for each app gives details on what functions is offers with your webcam.
Many Thanks
You're welcome.

Will my LED 27 Cinema Display work with the new Mac Pro?

Will my LED 27 Cinema Display work with the new Mac Pro?

Mini DisplayPort (like 27" LED Cinema Display) is a direct subset of ThunderBolt (like Mac pro late 2013). It plugs right in and the display portion "just works", no adapters required.
