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:

5 cards for $20.

What monitors will work with the Power Mac G5?

If I got a new Power Mac, would I need to get a new monitor (Apple Display), too? I have a Dell 17" LCD monitor (VGA). Would this work with the Power Mac?
HP P4 1.8GHz Windows XP Pro

Yes. You'll need to use the included DVI to VGA adapter to connect the monitor.

What displays WILL work with 1st gen Mac Pro & 4870 video card upgrade?

I've been reading these discussion threads for hours.
I, like so many others, have a 1st gen Mac Pro with a 1900XT that is taking a dump on me.
My only/best option for replacing it is the 4870...
But SO many folks with 3rd party displays have had problems, though almost no one is commenting on which 3rd party displays DO work.
Can anyone help? Do you have this configuration and a 3rd party display that IS working?
I don't want to buy this card and find out I have to shell out another ton of $$$ to buy Cinema Display.
I have an LG Flatron Wide...
Can anyone confirm a 3rd party display that DOES work? I'd be VERY grateful!

I have the Acer 24". been fine for 18 months. I know several people using them

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

What internal DVD+/-RW will work with my Satellite P10-304

Can anyone give me an answer to what internal DVD+/-RW will work with my Satellite P10-304.
I've been told a SDR-6012 or a UJ-820 DVD+/-RW might work.
Please help
Thanks
Lee

Hi
Did you check the user manual of the P10 Satellite?
Sometimes the compatible CD/DVD drives can be found in the user manual which should be installed on your notebook.
If you dont have the user manual then you could download it from the Toshiba page.
However, if you will not find the right info in the user manual then I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country for details.
Usually you could order a supported drive from these guys.
Its important that you know what drives are compatible due to the different master\slave\c-sel settings.
Bye and good luck

What version of Elements will work with Canon Print Studio Pro

What version of Elements will work with Canon Print Studio Pro?

I tried this step but it did not work. I have a Mac YosemiteOS 10.10.1. I copied to plug in files from Canon Print Studio Pro. Open canon utilities, open print studio pro, open CS4 folder and copied files CNPSPP101.plugin and CNPSPP102.plugin (not there is also a folder called CS5 but it has the fame plugin files)
I copy these files and then go to Photoshop Elements 13 and paste these files in Support File folder in Plug - ins and also did in folder Optional Plug-ins.
I then open Photoshop Elements 13 and hit Automation tools but Canon Pro Studio option is not there.
Can you provide more details on where I might be going wrong.
I put in a trial version of Elements 12 and have no problem. I just can't find where to purchase Elements 12 so I do not lose it in 30 days. Know where I can purchase?

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?

What version of mozilla will work with pentium 3 697 MHz, 256 MB of RAM windows xp sp3

what version of mozilla will work with pentium 3 697 MHz, 256 MB of RAM windows xp sp3

I'm not sure I understand your question. Firefox 12 being the last version to support XP without SP2 implies that Firefox versions 4-11 would also work on XP without SP2.
You may have seen a reference to Firefox 3.6.28 because for a while Firefox 3.6 received some updates in parallel with the releases of Firefox 4-10, and 3.6.28 was the end of the line.
If there is an article that needs updating on this site -- and I can assure you there are many -- you may be able to submit proposed edits to it because many pages are "wiki" pages with an Edit link. Or if you want to post the URL of the problem page here, feel free to do that instead.

Apple thunderbolt display can work with a macbook pro 2009?

Apple thunderbolt display can work with a macbook pro 2009 (mini display port? The image passes through the mini display port to the monitor, but the connections (Firewire, USB, ethernet) do not work. Can you confirm?

I'd love to get confirmation if this is the case too. I was all ready to buy the new iMac until I found I couldn't use it as an external monitor for my DisplayPort-based MacBook Pro. And then I was all ready to buy the new display.
I really hope Apple hasn't restricted this to purely Thunderbolt-equipped Macs. I know I'll end up upgrading my MacBook at some point but I can't do so just yet, and this means I'll have to go for some third-party display, camera, speakers etc for the new Mac Mini which is crazy.

I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card

I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card. The serial number on my computer is: RM620603R6W. Apple won't help me because the computer is older than suggested. Please give me the exact video card that will work best for my computer.

Hi Mike, make sure the card has Mac ROM, or is a PC card with Mac ROMs flashed to it...
G5 PCIe options are listed here:

Apple Cinema Display LED A1267 with macbook air 2011

Hi
i have a macbook air 11" 2011 Model A1370, with thundebolt port
they are offering me a
Apple Cinema Display LED (24-Inch)
Identifiers: LED Cinema Display - MB382LL/A - A1267
it comes with the triple cable, magsafe, minidisplay y usb
the question is, minidisplay is the same port as thunderbolt?
i will be able to use it, with the macbook air opened and closed?
it will transmit video and audio or only video?
thank you

If the USB cable is connected to the computer, you can use the display as an USB hub; FireWire works the same way, but you need a FireWire 400 to 800 adapter or a FireWire ExpressCard to use it.
