I'm looking to get a Wacom Cintiq for my illustration studio.
I'm using an iMac G5 running Tiger and I know Apple disabled dual monitors on their video card for iMac.
I also know that there's a freeware program that allows you to enable dual monitors if you've got the correct video card� it's called Screen Spanning Doctor and it seems to have a pretty good reputation.
My question is this:
Will Screen Spanning Doctor allow me to use the Cintiq the way it's meant without any screen stretching or other screwups? Or am I SOL, and should I get a Mac Pro with Leopard and all that jazz?
mid 2011 imac, no vga, no dvi. have a mini to vga and a mini to dvi, but they are both too big. is there some sort of "vga-or-dvi to thunderbolt connector" that neither me nor the guys at the best buy are just not understanding? think i have one of these (which says it does it) bought a month or so ago and an older dvi version i bought maybe three years back for a macbook.but are maybe four times too large for the little thunderport:[URL]
I recently purchased a cintiq 21ux, when I connected it to my macbook pro 15'' (with the usb cord it has)it only works as a giant drawing tablet with no monitor display.
I read an article written by someone who did this and I was just wondering if anyone here has done it as I'm not sure if the Cintiq will immediately display the system or if the install CD needs to be run first... in which case there'd obviously be a problem since it's the only monitor I'd have!Â
I will buy soon a mac pro 8-core 2,44Ghz and I wanted to know if there was a dvi port on the tower because I must connect a Cintiq Wacom 21ux on it. If there isn't a dvi port, is there another solution to connect it?
Having trouble with my IMac, I'd like to pair it with my Cintiq 21Ux but i don't know how to dual the monitor ! my Imac doesnt have any DVI ports, only thunderbolt, how can i connect my Cintiq as a monitor as well ?
I've been getting the dreaded "Signal out of Range" error whenever I try to switch my tablet over to a 1280 by 800 resolution, so I've had to settle for 1280 by 780 or so, but it's harder for me to draw that way as the image looks stretched out. I'm using a DVI outlet at the moment, so I'm just curious, if I bought a VGA adapter, would I still be getting this message? I want to be able to use my tablet with the best resolution but have my tablet still process everything without it cramping out.
I have recently purchased a Wacom Cintiq and it works fine with my PC desktop, however, all of my drawing and painting software is on my macbook. I have been having problems getting the Cintiq's display to work.
The Cintiq basically works as an additional monitor, and has a DVI-I cable. The Cintiq came with a DVI-I to VGA adapter, so I simply bought a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter at Best Buy (the apple brand adapter). I hooked the adapters together, turned on the Cintiq then turned on the Macbook and went to "Displays" under "System Preferences". I clicked on "Detect Displays" and the Macbook was able to detect the Cintiq fine. I then did what the Cintiq manual told me to do by configuring the resolutions and all that, but despite this the Cintiq did not pick up any screen from the Macbook. The error message on the Cintiq read that it did not detect any input from my Macbook, which is odd because the Macbook was able to detect the Cintiq just fine.
When I connected my Cintiq to my PC (by use of the DVI-I to VGA adapter as well) the Cintiq picked up the screen within seconds of turning on the PC. What is the problem here? I really do love my Cintiq but it is useless if I cannot use it with my work Mac. Do I have to buy a new adapter or am I doing something wrong with setting up the monitor? Or are the Cintiq and Macbook simply incompatible?
I just bought my cintiq 12wx and was wondering if i can connect it to my macbook pro 2011 through the thurderbolt using a mini display-port to vga adapter?
I installed the 10.7.3 Combo Update yesterday on my iMac (Early 2009) that has a Wacom Cintiq 21UX connected. Prior to updating, my system was working absolutely fine, and I could turn the Cintiq's power on/off at anytime without concern. Now, my system is consistently crashing when I turn the Cintiq's power off/on. A pop-up window appears that reads: "You must restart your computer." Again, this was not an issue prior to the 10.7.3 Combo Update.If I wake my iMac from sleep mode, with the Cintiq turned off, my system will immediately crash when I turn the Cintiq's power on. Similarly, if I cold boot my system with the Cintiq off, and turn it on at anytime after the Mac login screen appears, my system will immediately crash.
Info: iMac (24-inch Early 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.3), Wacom Cintiq 21UX
I just purchased a 15" MBP and I want to connect both a 27" thunderbolt monitor plus a wacom Cintiq 21" UX. Is it possible to have these both connected to my MBP at the same time acting as seperate monitors? If it is, are there any adaptors or cables I need for this type of se up running to my MBP?
asically I am looking at buying a 27" iMac (will be getting after WWDC just incase they bring new ones out!) and would love to be able to play PS3 on it. I have heard on here that it is possible but you need to buy an adaptor, however I cannot find any adaptors for sale on British websites, only American.
Im looking to connect my imac (intel core 2 duo) to my 46" Samsung LED TV for gaming, movies etc... how to hook this up (with the least amount of cables, my TV is on top of a mantle above the fireplace, so cords are a hassle). The TV is HDMI/DVI etc...
Does anyone know if the refurbs of the last generation iMacs (the 2.8 24" specifically) come with an apple remote? They did when new, correct? What about the old keyboards?
I thinking to buy the new Imac 27 I7 for architecture studio.. any sugestions? is for advance cad user and 3d programs such as Cinema 4D rhino and 3d studio.
I've ordered a 27" i5 (quad core) iMac with 256 SSD + 1 TB drive. I know that the SSD drive used by Apple are not so fast as the fastest SSD available in the market but anyone know what are his performance?
I' m pretty sure in that in daily use the computer is much faster and responsive whit this SSD drive but anyone can tell me how much this benefit are visible?
I know there have been threads about this topic already, but I haven't found a single one that suits me. I just purchased a new i7 and want some framerates and a decent idea of what to expect when I get home and start using this bad boy. I don't do any real heavy gaming - mostly just old school titles...quake 3, counterstrike, escape velocity (kidding). I plan on playing some starcraft 2 and was mostly curious if I would be able to run the game on utlra at native res. What sort of framerates are you all seeing with sc2?
I want to buy a mic to put on my desktop and use it like the built in mic of iMac: I want to use it to make Skype calls and allow me to move around my room (5m x 5m) and have no problem to my Skype calls.
I currently use a macbook pro, but it's getting on at 3 years old now, I never use it as a portable device and I'm desperate for a more powerful iMac.
In terms of performance I need something that can play the latest games - WoW and CoD specifically - as smoothly as possible. At the moment I'm drawn between the better 21.5" mac, or the 27" with the same settings.
1st Question: I'm fairly sure the 21.5" would play the games well, but if I upgraded to a 27" screen, would the games play slower as a result?
2nd Question: The 21.5" iMac comes with an i3 processor. Is there a big difference between the i3 and i5 in terms of performance (specifically, again, for gaming). Would it be worth getting the i5?
I currently own a iMac G4 700 MHz and I was wondering if a iMac G4 1,25 GHz 20inch is a lot better than the 700 MHz ? Im not thinking of video editing or gaming, but basic use in Leopard.
If someone has any experience with a 1,25 GHz with Leopard, please tell me so I can compare.
A friend of mine wants to buy a "vintage" iMac. He's an interior designer so going for the iconic look rather than specs and looking at the original G3 style or the "pod" style G4s.
Now this will be used primarliy for web browsing, email, iPhoto and iTunes (streaming his music collection to Apple TV - about 50GB of music). He'd like it to run OSX and preferably Leopard.
I'm guessing (from memory) that the original iMacs are out of the question but can anyone suggest a spec he might look for? Maybe somebody that's still using one of these machines could give an opinion? Also, what's the max spec (cpu, hard drive, RAM) that he could expect to pick up?
