Can I use the Apple VGA to DVI adapter to connect a PC to a DVI monitor?

Hi
Any idea of the Apple VGA to DVI adapter would work to connect a PC's VGA output to a DVI monitor?
Is it a simple pass through?  Or are there drivers needed.

That adapter is for connecting a VGA display to a computer's DVI-I port.  A DVI-I port has both digital and analog video pins.  The adapter passes just the analog video to a VGA connector.  It will not work in the reverse direction because a VGA computer does not provide digital video.
There are VGA to DVI converters that will connect a DVI display to a VGA computer.

  • Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter with a VGA monitor?

    Hey everybody,
    I have a quick question. I work on computers fr friends and family as a hobby. I have an ADC monitor and need ot be able to hook up computers with a VGA port on them to it. Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter along with an Apple DVI to VGA adapter to successfully connect VGA computers to my ADC display? I was assuming this would work and ordered both adapters but now I have made myself nervous about weather or not this will actually work. Has anybody out there successfully done this? Thanks for your help in advance everybody.

    You can't run an ADC display with a VGA computer without a converter. Adapters won't do it.
    a VGA to ADC converter will drive the ADC display directly

    If you have the Apple DVI to ADC adapter

    you could use it with a VGA to DVI converter
    <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1310>
    It might be cheaper to get DVI graphics boards for the computers and use the Apple DVI to ADC adapter.

    Your title says "Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter with a VGA monitor?". If you want to connect a VGA monitor to a computer's ADC port you need the ADC to VGA adapter
    <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1299> You can't use an ADC to DVI adapter followed by a DVI to VGA adapter, because the ADC to DVI adapter doesn't pass the analog video signals needed for VGA.

  • Just bought Apple TV. Our Hi Def TV only has S Video or RCA outlets. Can we use the Apple TV?

    Just bought Apple TV. Our high def tv only has S Video or RCA connectors. Can we use the Apple TV? Thanks

    Apple TV only supports HDMI. It doesn't sound like it is an HDTV, even if you use an adapter there is no guarantee it would work and even then you would not be able to watch HDCP content (i.e. iTunes, Netflix etc).
    If the TV is not widescreen and/or doesn't support at least 720P you will also have issues around that.

  • Can i Use The Apple Wired Keyboard With Camera Connector Kit

    People report it is still possible to use a wired USB keyboard with the CCK, if you use a powered USB hub to get around the "not enough power" error message.  (I have done this with an older Apple USB keyboard my non-jailbroken iPad1 on iOS 4.3.3.)  Normally, powered USB hubs have a AC power adapter so you lose portability unless you can find a battery powered USB hub.  At this point, the (in)convinience of the USB hub becomes an issue, depending on what you get.
    And wired USB keyboard were never supported for the iPad.  So there's no guarantee that it will continue to work with future iPad updates from Apple.  So best to go with a Bluetooth keyboard unless you have a specific USB keyboard that you "must" use.  If you have all the equipment already, I say give it a try.  But I would not recommend trying a USB keyboard if you have to purchase anything.

    BTW if you want to use the TC in your car/SUV.. convert it to 12v operation.

  • Hey i recently buy an iphone 4s and by default i set it to saudi arabia and i would like to change it to united states since i can't use the apple store of usa any help plzzz

    i recently buy an iphone 4s and by default i set it to saudi arabia and i would like to change it to united states since i can't use the apple store of usa any help plzzz

    Besides setting the iTunes store to the US, you will also need
    a credit card issued in the US with billing address in the US;
    you also are supposed to be located in the US when using the
    US store, and there are periodic software checks to verify that.
    Simply changing the iTunes store to the US iTunes store will
    not allow you to make purchases/download free apps without
    meeting the other requirements. Do you meet them?

  • Can you use the apple remote to control tv programs?

    Can you use the apple remote control like a tv remote to control tv programs & DVDs on the computer? Everything I've found about the Apple Remote talks about using it for products other than desktops. I watch some regular tv shows on my iMac & would like to be able to use a remote control.
    I have a built-in infrared receiver.
    Thanks!

    You should be able to control DVD playback now with the Apple Remote. You may be able to get a bit of functionality with web sites by using Remote Buddy by using it as a virtual mouse and keyboard:
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/21872/remote-buddy
    but you're not going to get anything close to the sort of functionality you'd get with a remote and a TV.

  • Can you use the apple time capsule as just a wireless hard drive without using it as a router

    Can i use the apple time capsule as just a wireless hard drive without using  a router

    You can, but this type of configuration is not recommended or supported by Apple.
    Two cautions if you want to try this:
    1)  The Time Capsule has to be configured to "Join" your existing wireless network in this type of setup...and to do that, you must know the exact type of wireless security that your network is using.
    2)  Backups are going to take twice as long. The wireless signal must travel from your computer to the wireless router and then from the wireless router back to the Time Capsule.  Two "hops"......even if the computer is located close to the Time Capsule.
    If you want to try this, we can tell you how....but with no guarantees on your results....since this is not officially supported.

  • Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

    Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

    The soon to be released new iMacs don't have a DVD drive. I don't believe that Apple have updated their site to say their USB drive will work, but the expectation is that it will.
    I watched the keynote and when Phil Schiller was presenting the new models I think he mentioned something about it working and he had one on the desk next to the iMac.
    I'm going to check the keynote if it's still up and I'll update my post if I'm wrong.

    That's what I thought too, then I bought this USB Ethernet adapter and on the package it says :
    "Compatible only with MacBook Air Computers"... so I am not sure if I should open it.
    When it was originally released it only worked with the MacBook Air which came with a special version of OS X that supported this adapter. Apple seem to have since built this support in to versions of OS X 10.6 and later for all Macs.
    If you have an older version of OS X e.g. 10.3 to 10.5 then an unofficially driver is available here http://www.sustworks.com/sb_site/downloads.html
    There are also third-party USB to Ethernet adapters with their own drivers like this one http://www.kanexlive.com/usb3lan

    If you have a backup of your information on your computer, I would suggest putting your phone into recovery mode, by holding down the home key and keeping it held down while you connect it by usb into your computer with itunes running. Keep the home button held down until it indicates recovery mode, and proceed with the restore.

  • Can I use the Apple Loops in my iPhone application ?

    Hi,
    I use the Apple Loops for GarageBand to create my application soundtrack. But I don't know if I have the rights to do it.
    Someone can say me if I can ?
    Thank you !

    You can include the loops as part of your own soundtrack. But that soundtrack must be an original work. You cannot redistributed the loops by themselves. You have to make some new composition with them.

  • Can I use the "Apple DVI to Video Adapter" with the GeForce 8600M GT?

    It's all in the subject, folks. I've got an nVidia card, not ATI. Should I go ahead and buy the Apple DVI to Video Adapter to connect my MacBook Pro to my CRT Sony TV?
    Thanks.
    PS My May 2005 Powerbook G4 had both a DVI and sVideo connector. I used to use the latter to connect to view on the TV. Now, my Powerbook is dead...

    The first review posting on the product page is:
    +dosen't work on mac pro with nvidia!!!!!+
    +Written by PH from hamburg+
    +August 27, 2007+
    Which suggests no. I have heard from an Apple Store "genius" that it does.
    Both are n=1, so I'd suggest a call to the Apple Store sales line (even if you don't order it that way).

  • Can I use the Apple TV wirelessly?

    I'm sorry if this is a stupid question.  I don't have an Apple TV and am thinking of getting one.  What I am wondering is, how can I use Apple TV if my TV is in the living room and my iMac is in the office?  Would I hook up the Apple TV to the TV via the HDMI and then can it connect with my iTunes on my iMac wirelessly if I have Airport?
    Also, can I transfer TV shows that I have recorded on my Tivo DVR to the Apple TV?  I need to transfer the TV shows and don't know how to do this if my computer is in another room and can't be hooked up to the Tivo DVR.  Could I move the DVR to the office and somehow transfer the shows to my iMac?  What about the Apple ??? that has I think 2 TB or 4TB.  Can I transfer the TV shows to that if I bought that.  Sorry, but I can't remember what that was.  Thanks for understanding my newbie questions. 

    Would I hook up the Apple TV to the TV via the HDMI and then can it connect with my iTunes on my iMac wirelessly if I have Airport?
    Yes.

    No.

    Possible, but not sure how -- it would likely be possible, but not simple.  You probably won't find much assistance here for something like that, but you can see if you get any response.
