With 10.5.7 the MDP-to-DVI-Adapter problems are still alive!!!
I can't believe it. After more than a half year the problems with external displays (that are not Apple Cinema Displays) connected through a Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI-Adapter are still alive.
All that unacceptable screen flickering and wobbling is not fixed!
<ironic>I know we all should buy Cinema Displays...</ironic>
Be ashamed, Apple!
+1 on this issue.
Just tried it here and i still can't connect my MBP 15" U on the Dell 2408WFP via DVI on full resolution (1920x1200 60Hz).
it only works at miserable 800x600 75Hz.
What can we do? Apple should replace this faulty macs for ones that work (even if its the big 17")...

How do i connect my mac mini to a kvm switch using the hdmi to dvi adapter?
I want to connect my Mac Mini using the HDMI to DVI adapter to a KVM switch cable. I have an Iogear KVM switch. The cable from the KVM switch has a male VGA end connection. I have been trying to determine the right adapter to connect the female DVI connection to the male VGA connector. I will be using the Mac mini and a PC running through the KVM switch. This is doable as the iogear switch is compatible with both a PC and a Mac. Any ideas out there? Thank you.
You would need to get HDMI or DVI to VGA CONVERTER, not a simple adopter. The converter requires USP connection for power. HDMI is only digital while VGA is analogue.

If your MIni has a mini displayport or Thunderbolt port yu can get a les expensive mini displayport to VGA afopter. -
Does anyone know if the HDMI to DVI Adapter that comes in the Mac Mini box is DVI end male or female? Should I be getting a male to male DVI cable, or will this one work out of the box? Thanks!!
Looking at mine - the DVI end is female.

I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?
Let me explain a little more. I had downloaded a lot of free books in the past as a trial when iBooks was first released and since then I have decided I no longer want them, because of this I hid them from the purchased section of the iBooks store. The 5 books left are ones I decided to keep as seen in the following picture.
This is how it appears in iBooks on my mac. There are 4 books downloaded and 1 book that I have decided not to download at this time. I would still like to keep this book available in the cloud incase I want to download it again in the future. You’ll notice that hide iCloud books is not selected, if I wanted to hide the book that I have chosen to keep in the cloud, but have not downloaded yet I could.
This is exactly how I think this feature should work. If you have hidden a book from your purchases it should not show up in the mac Ibooks app. (I am aware you can never actually delete a purchase, just hide them and that hidden purchases can be restored to your account from within the account management section of the iBooks store).
The iOS app is working differently for me. Here is a picture of the purchased tab on the iBooks store in iOS Ibooks. Again notice that pictures of Lilly is still yet to be downloaded. This is how I expected it to look.
If we visit the front page of iOS iBooks the view is very different from what I expected. Here we can see the 4 books I wanted to keep on my device and have downloaded. We can also see the 1 book I wanted to keep, but did not want to store locally on the device and left in iCloud (Pictures of Lilly). However we can also see all the books I had hidden from the purchased section of my iTunes account and which I believe should no-longer be visible, Dracula, frankenstein etc…
I am aware of the hide iCloud books button within the iOS app, but I did not need to use this to hide the books I had removed from the my purchased section of the iBooks store on the mac, why are they still appearing in iOS?
I’m still not sure if this is a software glitch or not. This article suggests to me that books can be hidden, but I had already completed these steps.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201322
A browse of google also suggests people may have been able to hide past purchases from the front page of iBooks on iOS in the past.
In case there was an issue with syncing I tried logging in and out of my iTunes account via settings in iOS. Force closing the app, disabling automatic downloads and removing my device from iTunes in the cloud. Syncing with iTunes on the mac did not correct the issue either.
Interestingly I have the same issue on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I do on my iPad mini suggesting that this might be an issue either with my account or with iOS iBooks software in general.
If there is a way to remove the already hidden iBooks in your account from the front page of iBooks on iOS without using the hide iCloud downloads button? Please help community!My apologies for the lack of photos, here is my post again with photos.

I am having trouble downloading a whole playlist to my phone. Parts of the playlist will sync but there are still a lot of songs that won't. I have plenty of space to hold this playlist as far as I can see. Any help is appreciated.
I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/ -
I keep getting the error 306 cannot connect to the iTunes Network when downloading songs on iTunes. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps from the forums and my technical issues are still unresolved. I have Windows 7. Please help!!
iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.

To reset iTunes Store cache:
In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the "Reset cache" button.
Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
Open iTunes.
Access iTunes preferences:
On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Click the Parental Controls tab.
Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.

Despite my Javascript for Firefox 23 being "enabled" ( I checked re the "about:config" steps), some websites are still asking me to enable my Javascript to view content. Safari works without any problem. OS/X 10.8.4
These files are hidden to me because my OS/X is 10.8.4 and I cannot make them appear. This is way, way more trouble than it's worth. Thanks for your help. Firefox has lost me.

My iMac screen keeps showing pixels of previously opened documents and Safari tabs and hour or two after closing them.
Even when I swipe to the dashboard the outlines are still there when I know they should not be.
The shadow of those opened documents are still there hours later after shutting down and restarting my computer.
What is happening and what shall I do? Thanks in advance.Not much to go on in your product info, but maybe this will help: iMac (27-inch): AMD Radeon 6970M Video Card Replacement Program. If not, then it's time to visit an Apple repair station.

30'' Cinema Display with mini-display-port to dual link DVI adapter usb hub
Hi all, I don't know if any one of you experience this issue and can help me.
I am using an unibody macbook pro (late2008 model) to connect to a 30'' cinema display via the famous $100 mini diaplay port to dual link DVI adapter. I have connected the usb cable from the ACD to the adapter and the usb cable of the adapter to my macbook pro. This setting works fine under OSX 10.5.7.
When I am using Windows Vista under bootcamp the USB hub on the back of the ACD doesn't work. The device manager of Vista shows an excalmatory mark besides the device "Generic usb hub"; and it reports a problem of "the device cannot be started".
I doubted this problem is due to Windows cannot recognise the $100 adapter as a "generic usb hub"; and apple has not release a driver for this $100 adapter for windows.
Since my MBP only has 2 usb ports and the $100 adapter already occupied one, it would be very much helpful if the usb hub of the ACD can work just like in OSX. Can anyone think of any suggestion?
Much appreciated for reading this post and thank you.i don't have an answer for you, but i feel your pain. very frustrating when this happens with Apple products and Vista/Bootcamp. wish they were more compatible, for it would make things so much easier for the consumer.

Why aren't the VGA or DVI adapter included?
How come one of the video adapters are not included when purchasing a MacBook Pro? I would think that the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter would at least be included. In previous models of the MacBook Pro a Dual-Link DVI port was on the laptop and a DVI to VGA adapter was included in the box. Now we have to pay for an adapter that should be included? And why do we need a $99 adapter for Dual-Link DVI support? This should be built into the laptop as it was before.
I just did a price compare between what our college purchased before and what will be purchased now.
On September 18th, 2008:
MacBook Pro 15-inch
2.4 GHz Processor
SuperDrive 8x
200 GB SATA HDD @ 7200 RPM
15-inch Glossy Widescreen Display
Accessory Kit (that included the Manuals, AC Power Adapter, Display polishing cloth, the install discs, a DVI to VGA converter)
4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
AppleCare Protection Plan
$2,308.00
However, today, October 16th, 2008, I respeced out the laptop;
MacBook Pro 15-inch
2.4 GHz Processor
SuperDrive 8x
250GB SATA HDD @ 7200 RPM
15-inch Glossy Widescreen Display
Accessory Kit (that included the Manuals, AC Power Adapter, Display polishing cloth, and the install discs)
4 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 DSRAM
AppleCare Protection Plan
$2,318
Okay, so the memory is faster, but the price difference between the 2GB of RAM and 4GB of RAM is only $135. However when looking at the price of memory (4GB for the 2.4 GHz MacBook Pro 15-inch) on Apple's site I get $300. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's the same price it was before with the earlier models. So there shouldn't be any price adjustment for the memory. The drive was also increased to 250GB but being that this is now the smallest drive size (and with falling prices on drives) there shouldn't be a price difference with this either. We also loose the DVI to VGA converter ($17). So we are paying more for less.
Because you now have to buy the converters for the new video connector the price gets even higher. $29 for either the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter or Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter, or $99 for the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter.
Instead of hitting the customer with an al-la-carte of extra items to purchase, why doesn't apple continue to include a standard DVI port on the computer with the DVI to VGA adapter with the laptop?I agree. If Apple would like more people to use the MB and MBP in a business environment you MUST have an easy way to connect the machine to a projector! Nickleing and dimeing people to get an adapter is CRAZY Apple! You are selling even the base machine for at least $1200! The cable cost you MAYBE $1.50 to make... Come on, put one in the box! Don't make people buy one to make it work with a projector! Almost every other laptop in the world comes ready to drive a projector DIRECTLY!

Will the included HDMI - DVI adapter support 1920X1080
I have a fairly new 23" Samsung HD Monitor - wanna make sure before I order my Mini that my monitor will work with it.
From everymac.com:
...simultaneously supports 1920x1200 on an HDMI display or a DVI display using the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter and 2560x1600 on a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort display or even a VGA display (with an optional Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter, which is compatible with the Thunderbolt port). -
Hi. Good day to everyone my New iPad with retina display 30 pin connector will not mirror to TV even with divi adapter after software update. Adapter works fine. Or is it a software glitch with IOS 7.04? I've tried resetting and reconnecting nothing seems to work.
That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...
