IS THIS MAC COMPATIBLE

It should work, but the narrow viewing angle means it probably has a TN LCD panel, so there may be color banding, and it may be hard to calibrate.
You will need a mini-DVI to DVI adapter (and a DVI cable).

  • External display via Mini DisplayPort to DVI no longer works with MacBook.

    I had not used my external monitor in the last several weeks. I believe there have been a few OSX Lion updates since the last time I used the external monitor. I had installed all the updates prior to connecting my external monitor again. However, a few days ago I tried to connect the external monitor and all I get is a "No Signal" message on my external monitor. The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI works on my LCD TV, so I know  the MDP works. I have also replaced the MDP-to-DVI cord and the external display still doesn't work.
    I connected the external monitor to another computer running Snow Leopard and the external monitor works. So, the external monitor does work.
    I have seen a few posts aboout this, but nobody seems to have a solution that works or is directly on point to my issue. I have tried to use all the scenarios for plugging in the external monitor and external monitor power. I tried to reboot the laptop with and withoout the external monitor connected. Same thing with the exteernal monitor plugged in and no power, etc. Nothing works. I have tried to repeatedly turn the external monitor on and off while connected to the MacBook. Again, that doesn't work.
    So, I am open to any help someone may have. Here is what I am running:
    MacBook, Aluminum 13" Late 2008
    OSX 10.7.3
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. Lion seems to have problems with external monitors.  https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

  • Does Thunderbolt work with the Mini Displayport to DVI adapter?

    I just ordered a new 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display to replace my Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro.  I've been using the Mini Displayport to DVI adapter to extend my screen to an older 20" Cinema Display.  From what I can find online, and I'm here asking for confirmation, I should still be able to use the Mini Displayport to DVI adapter with the new MacBook Pro's Thunderbolt port.  Correct? 

    still be able to use the Mini Displayport to DVI adapter with the new MacBook Pro's Thunderbolt port.  Correct?
    Yes.

  • Mini-Displayport to DVI adapter not working, but Mini-Displayport to VGA and Thunderbolt work fine

    Mini-Displayport to DVI adapter not working, but Mini-Displayport to VGA and Thunderbolt work fine.
    This is a brand new MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012) just received.  I suspect that this is a hardware problem as:
    The mini-displayport to DVI adapter and the external monitor that I am utilizing connect and operate just fine using my older MacBook Pro (mid-2010) with the same OS.
    The new MacBook Pro powers the external monitor with a mini-displayport to VGA adapater without issue.
    The new MacBook Pro powers an Apple Thunderbolt display without issue.
    Both MacBook Pro's are running OSX Lion 10.7.4.
    The only combination which does not work is the mini-displayport to DVI adapater used in conjunction with the brand new MacBook Pro (mid-2012).
    All adapters and components (mini-displayport adapters) are Apple retail adapter.
    I have tried several external monitors, including my Dell U2412m.
    When I connect the mini-displayport to DVI adapater to the new MacBook Pro (mid-2012), nothing happens. The external monitor reports "no signal" and attempts to go into sleep mode.  Using the "Detect displays" button has no effect, even when used multiple times.  Rebooting does not help, nor does resetting the SMC or PRAM.
    Any other suggestions before I take it to the Genius Bar?

    I turns out that the logic board of my MacBook Pro was faulty (despite being brand new).
    I took it to the Apple Store, presented the problem, and one of the Tech's came to the same conclusion that I had -- hardware failure.  Phone support was no help in the matter (and even told me that what I was trying to do wasn't a supported option, which is rediculous).  However, the Genius Bar did take care of the problem, and my MacBook Pro was back to me with a replaced logic board within a few days.
    Hope that htis helps.

  • Is it possible to input itunes into DVI/HDCP input from imac with Apple mini display portS?

    Is it possible to input itunes into DVI/HDCP input from imac with Apple mini display port? Or is there another way?

    The problem with itunes is needing a computer running it. or continuous internet connection.
    A Time Capsule is AC mains powered.. no battery. Although you can certainly buy an older Gen4 TC and modify it ...
    https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/time-capsule-power-supply-repair-kits
    I have run my TC on a 12V SLA battery.. which would neatly meet that part of the functionality you want. But it is heavy and not really the rugged sort of device I think you want.
    But I would look at other media players and other ways of storing movies than iTunes.. if you want to carry the whole lot around with you .. A bunch of SD cards even you could plug into the ipad??
    External storage for iPad?
    A small cheap PC/Mac laptop with a 1TB hard disk  in it.. and 11" or 13" screen.. can often be a much better solution than lugging around multiple items so you can fit Apple devices into your life.

  • Does Mini Displayport to DVI adapter support analog VGA signal?

    I'm just about to buy a macbook pro. Since the MDP (mini displayport) to DVI and MDP to VGA adapters are £20 a pop, I can only afford to get one. Obviously DVI is better in general, but VGA supports more older hardware, CRTs, and the spare VGA input on one of my displays (where the desktop uses the DVI).
    What I'd like to know is does the MDP to DVI adapter also support the analog VGA signal on certain pins (like most physical desktop DVI ports do)? If it does, since I have about 3 or 4 DVI to VGA adapters lying around, I can get the MDP to DVI adapter and use the DVI to VGA adapters with it if necessary, but if it doesn't I might be better off getting the MDP to VGA...

    No. Unlike DVI, which in the DVI-I configuration has both digital and analog pinouts, DisplayPort (and mini-DisplayPort) are purely digital. Mini-DP to DVI then DVI to VGA will not work. If you look carefully at the Apple Mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter, you'll notice it's a DVI-D connector - digital pins only.
    The Apple mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter contains a digital-to-analog converter.
    So, you'll have to choose. If you want VGA, get Apple's mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter.

  • 27: iMac Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter quits working post-firmware

    I iMac Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter suddenly quit working after I installed Apple's latest iMac display firmware update. This is an Intel Core i5; the monitor is an LG Flatron 24" Wide, and when it powers up it says "no video input" and goes into power-saving mode. No amount of replugging cables helps, but the monitor works fine on other computers.
    The Displays control panel just shows one monitor, and clicking Detect Displays does nothing.
    I suspect Apple's Display Firmware Update. My installer log shows the following, but the problem only happened today after the latest update:
    6/1/10 9:45 AM 27-inch iMac EFI Firmware Update 1.0
    6/1/10 9:45 AM 27-inch iMac Display Update 1.0
    6/4/10 11:47 AM 27-inch iMac SMC Firmware Update 1.0
    6/4/10 11:47 AM 27-inch iMac Display Update 1.0
    6/5/10 7:29 AM 27-inch iMac Display Update 1.0
    I have automatic updates disabled, but after each update I would see more firmware updates ready, but caution leads me to never install more than one of these at a time, and then to wait a while to see if anything bad happens. The odd thing is that the Display Update 1.0 seems to have been installed three times in this course of events. Alas, there appears to be no way to uninstall a firmware update.
    Here is the System Profiler Graphics/Displays output:
    Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 4850
    Type: GPU
    Bus: PCIe
    PCIe Lane Width: x16
    VRAM (Total): 512 MB
    Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
    Device ID: 0x944a
    Revision ID: 0x0000
    ROM Revision: 113-B9110C-425
    EFI Driver Version: 01.00.383
    Displays:
    iMac:
    Resolution: 2560 x 1440
    Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
    Main Display: Yes
    Mirror: Off
    Online: Yes
    Built-In: Yes
    Connection Type: DisplayPort
    Display Connector:
    Status: No Display Connected
    It says the Mac sees no display connected, and the display gets no video signal. Since the adapter is an active device (it has powered electronics to convert DisplayPort signals to DVI signals) I suppose it could have just coincidentally died. But that seems unlikely given that the thing worked perfectly just before the last firmware update.
    Does anybody have similar experience, or better yet, a fix?

    Unfortunately the Apple Knowledge Base does not give much information about this update. Such has how to tell if it has been successfully installed. I suspect that because it keeps recurring in the install log that it has not been installed successfully as yet. Are you receiving this update through Software Update? Can you locate the installer for this update? It maybe located in Apps/Utilities.
    Some firmware update installations can be interrupted/corrupted by attached devices. If you find the update's installer on your iMac, I suggest that you detach all external devices from the iMac, use an Apple USB keyboard & mouse if available, follow the instructions carefully and install the update manually. If you do not locate the installer I suggest downloading manually from the link below and installing it.
    The Knowledge Base article mentions that your iMac should also have a Graphics Firmware Update. I suggest that you download and install that as well.

  • Mini DP to VGA or Mini DP to DVI?

    I need to connect my MacBook (late 2008) to my AOC Fovi F22 display. The display has VGA and DVI inputs. The display resolution is 1920x1080 Full HD.
    1. Which one is the more sensible choice? DVI perhaps?
    2. I hear that people are facing issues with Apple adapters nowadays. There are threads here too, talking about those issues. Should I go for 3rd party adapters instead?
    3. I have a spare DVI to VGA adapter. If I get the DVI adapter from Apple, will I be able to get VGA output using my DVI - VGA thing? Is the Apple adapter Mini DP to DVI-I. Or is it just DVI-D?
    Thanks.

    DVI will have better image quality overall. sharper text & video. the color too will be more accurate.
    2. I hear that people are facing issues with Apple adapters nowadays. There are threads here too, talking about those issues. Should I go for 3rd party adapters instead?
    is somewhat true. others have had bad trouble, the only issues I've had is a snowy screen for a second when I switch imputs on my display between DVI & VGA as I have 2 systems plugged into it.
    try monoprice.com for the adapters.
    3. I have a spare DVI to VGA adapter. If I get the DVI adapter from Apple, will I be able to get VGA output using my DVI - VGA thing? Is the Apple adapter Mini DP to DVI-I. Or is it just DVI-D?
    No, the std MDP > DVI doesn't support the analog passthru for VGA.

  • Red static using Apple's mini-Displayport to DVI Single Link adaptor

    Here's the problem :
    The adapter from Apple I got is the 30$ (or so) DVI-D Single Link (nine pins active on the side with six pins non-active in the center).
    My Dell 2408WFP monitor got two DVI-D Single Link connectors.
    I did my test with two different cable : one DVI-D Single Link and one DVI-D Dual Link. Both cable are working just fine since I can hook either my older Macbook Pro Core Duo or my PC to the monitor using them.
    But when I 'm trying to use my new Macbook Pro Unibody 13" with the mini-Displayport to DVI adapter I always get red statics : one pixel dots flickering randomly all over the screen. The picture is there, though, and my computer is able to recognize the display and its native resolution (1920x1200). Sometime, the display seems to lose the signal and shows only white noise.
    Any idea, similar experience?
    P.
    Thanks for everything,
    P.

    Problem solved here, really. Nothing to do with Apple. Everything to do with Dell.
    So I got a replacement monitor (a second one) from Dell regarding another problem with the Displayport connexion. It fixed this problem. I then tested the same mini-Displayport to DVI adaptor on this new replacement monitor : works flawlessly. No problem whatsoever. No static. No suddenly going in sleep mode. No random disconnection. So the problem was the monitor : EDID profile, maybe firmware. See below.
    Here are more details which I got using SwitchResX. I hope it can help others for diagnostic.
    The monitor that was ALL wrong was : a Dell 2408WFP, EDID version 1.3, product code 10912 (2AA0) (A02A) (which means, I think that it was REV A02A : you CANNOT rely on what's written on the sticker on the back of the monitor for that info especially when you get a replacement monitor, use SwitchResX).
    The new monitor that is WORKING (with everything : Diplayport connexion as well as mini-Displayport to DVI adapter) : a Dell 2408WFP, EDID version 1.4, product code 11168 (2BA0) (A02B) (so I guess is REV A02B).
    Notice the difference in the EDID version AND in the REV version.
    If you have a Dell monitor, same model (2408WFP) and are experiencing problems with your connexions, check those info, call Dell for a replacement.
    Thanks for all your feedback and suggestions. I'll post this on Dell forum as well.

  • Mini DisplayPort to DVI issues

    I just recently purchased the new aluminum MacBook, having previously owned one of the very last iterations of the white MacBooks.
    With my old white MacBook I had purchased a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter, and was using that to connect to a DVI to HDMI cable, and that cable was going into my HDTV. I would select and check Overscan under the Display Options of my HDTV, which appeared as PDP-xx50SX under my MacBook, and two black bands would be added to the top and bottom of my MacBook's display, and I would get a full screen crisp image on my HDTV that I was very satisfied with, I would use this to view TV Shows and Movies on Hulu without any issues.
    I no longer have that MacBook as a few days ago I got my new aluminum MacBook, and with it my Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. 4 hours ago I wanted to catch up on The Office, so I plugged in my new adapter to the Mini DisplayPort, hooked up my DVI to HDMI cable, and that into my TV, just like I did with my previous MacBook. That was 4 hours ago, and I am still unable to properly configure it like my last MacBook.
    I have been beating my head for 4 hours now looking across every forum on the internet, every thread, and every possible way to type out this issue on Google to find any and all results. For some reason I just do not get the Options tab like I was able to on my old MacBook where I could then select the Overscan checkbox.
    This is really frustrating, I've tried every possible combination of resolution, mirrored and not, and nothing works like it did with my old MacBook. I simply cannot get a correct full screen image on my HDTV.
    Is this a firmware issue? Has it already been addressed and I somehow missed it? Is there any fix? Is this the cause of DisplayPort? Why wouldn't nVidia's 9400m be able to do the same thing Intel's GMA X3100 did? So many questions, and I didn't know where to turn to so I came here to the Apple Support forums hoping I'd get some resolution or reassurance this is something that will be/is being addressed. The only fixes I've seen online are programs like SwitchResX or DisplayConfigX, but I'm not that technically savvy and would rather not fry my screen, especially when it worked perfectly out of the box with my older MacBook. Help!

    I am also frustrated by the new display port. I have purchased a DisPort to DVI connector from the Apple store and the pin configuration is different than previous all other Apple adapters (DVI-I). The 4-ins around the blade are missing in the new adapter. The genius bar said in Orlando that the new adapters are a new version of DVI called DVI-D. So all my previous investment cabling is hosed. I was away from the home 20 so I purchased yet another $29 VGA adapter from the Apple store to complete my mission.
    Moral of the sad story - Buy a DVI-I to DVI-D adapter if you own and use a MacBook for presentations. The Apple Store does not carry them.
    Hey wait a minute is this tied to the disappearing Firewire connector???
    Mike
    PS - I was ablt to find a DVI-D to HDMI connector that I will try when I get back home...stay tuned!!

  • MacBookPro DVI output to Monitor DVI-D input

    Where can I find a compatible cable that will let me connect my MacBookPro (early 2008) to my ViewSonic VX2025 DVI-D input.
    I have spoken to the Apple store staff, and the AppleCare support team, and neither departments could come up with a solution, or answer.
    Please can somone point me in the right direction? I am sure one person out there has come across this issue before.
    PS:
    Before suggesting I use the VGA input on the monitor; this is in use by my Xbox 360 (which will not work using a VGA-DVI adapter).
    Many thanks in advance for anyone who is able to help.
    My email adress is not working so if anyone woulf like to get me via email, please send to [email protected]

    You need the Apple Mini-DVI to DVI-D adapter, and a male-to-male DVI-D cable like one of these:

  • Male 8 pin Mini Din Mac to USB adapter cable

    I have an old Opcode Translator Pro Midi interface that I used with an old Mac. The CPU and Thru connections used an 8 pin Mini Din Mac cable via Printer or Modem input on the Mac. The unit is G8 as it has 2 In and 6 Out Midi sockets which I want to use with my keyboard controller (non USB) and a Roland MT-120 Synth. I now have a new iMac which uses USB 2 and Firewire. Is there such a cable which has USB on one end and Male 8 pin Mini Din Mac on the other? Or wouldnt this type of connection work?
    Is it possible to convert the Opcode Translator Pro somehow to USB 2?

    allyshake,
    Sounds like you have done a good job of thinking this through.  A new adapter box makes a lot of sense.  Have you considered finding a new home for the older equipment so that the complete set gets used?

  • Samsung T240HD Reboots mini when using DVI or HDMI

    Hi there,
    My new Samsung T240HD works pretty well when I connect it to the Mac Mini using a DVI-VGA adapter (currently 1920 x 1200 60 Hz, Millions) but if I try to use either DVI-DVI or DVI-HDMI the monitor will appear and run perfectly from startup - but then the mini will reboot after 30mins or less.
    I downloaded and installed SwitchResX, but I wasn't even sure what the problem I was trying to solve was so I removed SwitchResX and went back to the VGA solution.
    Im quite keen to use the DVI or HDMI inputs if its possible to do so without causing the rebooting of the machine.
    I would appreciate any responses
    Cheers

    That is quite a strange problem. Since you point out the mini is sharing a powerboard/powerstrip with the Samsung, as a trouble shooting measure, I would try plugging the mini into a completely seperate circuit. In fact, get the longest power extension cord you have and try plugging the mini into an outlet from a seperate room, if possible, to increase the chances of being on a completely different branch from the fuse/breaker box. See if that makes the problem go away and then, if it does, start narrowing things down by moving the plug points around, trying different combinations and perhaps trying a different powerboard.
    A video output port is not a power port, per se. In other words, it is impartial with respect to the size of the display that is attached. A larger display should not cause a greater power draw from the mini, at least not of any consequence. Plenty of people attach monitors and TV's that are 24" or larger and I have never heard of that causing the mini's power supply to "crow bar" to protect itself from an over-power condition.
    It could well be that the Samsung has a defect of some kind and you may need to return it for another. That's something to consider.

  • Analog and DVI-D input

    Hi all
    I'm looking to add a Samsung 22" Syncmaster LCD monitor that specifies analog & DVI-D input. My Mac mini has DVI input. Can a DVI-D input work on my Mac mini and/or G4 agp tower?
    Jim

    The short answer is yes. You might have better luck with the mini than your old tower Mac. The old tower pre-dates the era of 1680 x 1050 resolution as is used on a 22" monitor. The tower Mac may not output that timing.
