Apple Vintage and Obsolete Products

Apple has discontinued support for certain technologically obsolete and vintage products. Vintage products are those that were discontinued more than five and less than seven years ago. Apple has discontinued hardware service for vintage products with the following exception:

Products purchased in the state of California, United States, as required by statute. Owners of these products may obtain service and parts from Apple Service Providers within the state of California, United States.

Obsolete products are those that were discontinued more than seven years ago. Apple has discontinued all hardware service for obsolete products with no exceptions. Service providers cannot order parts for obsolete products.

When you connect an Apple Cinema Display (30-inch DVI) to a Power Mac G5 or Mac Pro, you may find that the highest available resolution is 1280 x 800, even though the optimum resolution for the display is 2560 x 1600. The maximum resolution available when this display is connected to a single-link DVI port is 1280 x 800 - you must connect the display to a dual-link DVI port in order to access the higher resolutions available to the display. If this occurs, make sure that you are using a compatible video card for the display, and are connected to a dual-link DVI port on the card. Compatible video cards must include a dual-link DVI port. Refer to the table for video cards compatibility.
