ADC to VGA Extractor / Cable Wanted Urgently

Hi there
Im after a ADC to VGA cable or adaptor so I can use 2 old screens on my 2005 G5, Ive looked everywhere with no real success, does anyone know where I can buy one. There's one on ebay at the moment but its got like 6 days to go and I may not be around to bid on it when the auction closes. Does anyone have one they want to sell to me or know a company where I can buy one from in the UK?
Thank you

Thanks for your reply.
I have found one now on a website brand new, very expensive though.
Nice of Apple to decide to drop them and not give us lot who bought the G5's with this type of connection any future alternative!
Thanks again

VGA/DVI cable - wanting to use two monitors.

I got a VGA/DVI cable to connect the VGA port on my LCD TV to the DVI port on my desktop computer. I'm trying to use 2 monitors on my computer which has both a VGA and DVI port. My regular monitor was already on, and the computer detected the TV as a monitor but the TV wouldn't detect a signal. I had the TV on the VGA/PC setting. The cable was a return item so it might be defective. I was wondering if there's anything else I could try to get it to work?

My computer's DVI port doesn't allow for the contacts above and below the flat blade like the DVI-I and DVI-A connectors in the picture. The cable that I got does have those contacts.
Ooooooh. So your computer may be one of the rare animals that doesn't have a DVI-I output, only DVI-D.
Since your TV has HDMI inputs, this is the way to go. Get a DVI-to-HDMI cable. It will provide higher quality than VGA and is USUALLY easier to use, I've never had video timing/resolution support issues with HDMI. (However, every computer I own has an Nvidia graphics card - the story may be different for ATI or Intel graphics!)

Searching adc to vga adaptor

I'm trying to connect my second Monitor port to a VGA Display and am searching for the correct adaptor.
I found solutions on the net, but rather than paying more fore shipping than the connector is worth, I'm looking for someone who has one lost in some box he could spare.
I'm ok with spending some money on this, but then more than 50€ would be over the limit.
I'm resident on Mallorca (Balearic Islands - Spain).
Thanks in advance for any help provided.

You will need a ADC to DVI adapter
<http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F2E9142-WHT-Apple-Monitor-Adapter/dp/B000067RLH/re f=dpcp_ob_title0>
or ADC to VGA adapter
<http://www.amazon.com/COMPUCABLE-ADC-VGA-Adapter-Cable/dp/B000071A8Q>
ADC to VGA adapters have become very scarce. If you have to use a VGA display, you can use a DVI to VGA adapter on the computer's DVI port. You can then connect your DVI display to the ADC port with the ADC to DVI adapter. (A DVI to VGA adapter won't work connected to a ADC to DVI adapter, since the ADC to DVI adapter doesn't pass the analog video signals needed for VGA.)

Mini DisplayPort to VGA, bad cable/connection?

So I have had this Apple version of the Mini DisplayPort to VGA cable for a little while now, not sure if it has been a year yet...and well it has stopped working. I noticed this after my friend was messing with it on his MacBook, but I do not know if it was him or not. The problem is that the cable will connect to my Mac, but it will not display onto my external monitor...that is unless I press downlwards on the white cable, and as soon as I do it stops. Is there anything I can do about this? Would this be considered something that would be under warranty?

The connection to my external display monitor stops. I'll push down on the cable, my MacBook screen goes blue for a second as it usually does and then I will be mirroring on both MacBook and my external display (I am still holding down the wire), and as soon as I let go my MacBook acts as if the VGA adapter cable is not even plugged in. I am currently on the phone with Apple support and they are working with me on getting a replacement.

Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900 60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

I have the same mini display port adapter and Belkin DVI-HDMI cable (but a Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV) so just set this up on it to see if I could duplicate your problem, unfortunately for you (but good for me) I can't.
I connected the adapter+HDMI cable before switching the HDTV on and then powered up the MBP. It (the HDTV) came up with my background right away (it's set at Mirror not extended Desktop) and when I run System Preferences/Displays get the following. Sorry but all I can confirm is that adapter+cable combination should work ...
Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys?

ADC to DVI connector cable - 2 for 1?

Will this cable enable me to run a data projector from the ADC port at the same time as the monitor attached to the DVI?
G5 Dual 2.5 Mac OS X (10.3.7)

Can I use the Belkin ADC to DVI Connector Cable to
connect one of the DVI displays to the ADC output on
the G5?
Yes.
If so, am I right in assuming that I still use the
Cinema Display power connector in addition to using
this adaptor cable?
Yes. The adapter just provides the digital video signals. You still need to plug in the power, USB, and FireWire (if needed) cables from the display
All the documentation seems to be restricted to G4s,
When the adapter came out the only ADC computers were G4s. They haven't updated the documentation, but it will work on a G5.

Spare DVI to VGA presentation cables for SX20

hi All,
I would like to have a spare DVI to VGA presentation cables for SX20, I managed to searched the Part number is "CAB-DVI-VGA-3.5MM - SX20 3.5mm", but I cannot confirm, because I suppose the cable should be shipped with SX20, when I created a BOM for "CTS-SX20-PHD12X-K9", I thought I was able to find it in the option list, but I am not. So I was wondering that the part number is right for SX20 or not...

As discussed previously in these forums (see this thread) - you'll find it much simpler and cheaper to buy a DVI-VGA cable and a seperate 3.5mm audio cable from your local electronics supplier. These can then be purchased in lengths that are more suitable for your purpose as well (so you don't have to worry about 6m of cable if you don't need that much, or can get longer if you need that too). YOu can then make these two cables a "single cable" using cable ties, or snakeskin wrapping them together (or any other way you deem appropriate).

ADC to VGA

On my Power Mac G5 (June 2004 with ATI Radeon 9600 XT), I'm trying to add a second CRT monitor, and I've been having terrible luck finding anyone that still carries an ADC to VGA adaptor.
I do have a spare DVI to VGA adaptor. So, would a ADC to DVI adaptor to use in conjunction with the DVI to VGA adaptor work at all? Has anyone tried this?
Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks!!

Thanks japamac,
I assumed as much (otherwise there wouldn't be so many people in such dire need of an adc to vga adaptor).
Thanks for the link too...that was the only adaptor even potentially available that I had found prior to my post. I had heard (read) so much about the Dr. Bott and Gefen (sp?) solutions...and next to nothing about the Belkin...I wasn't quite sure about it. Any experience with it? Worth a shot I suppose...
thanks again for your help!

Where to buy a ADC to VGA adaptor

Im looking for one to pick up at a store. Does anyone know who might carry a ADC to VGA adaptor?

I'm on the same hunt. Today I decided to make use of a second monitor kicking around and rearranged my desk. Then I went to plug it in... No such luck. What's the point of this? What's wrong with two dvi ports, besides the point that adc meant another few bucks spent on accessories.
Anyway, I found one here for the cheapest price I've seen so far.
good luck.

You should probably call and ask them. We are just other Apple product users here, like yourself.

VGA iPad cable and PC screen

I just bought a VGA iPad cable to connect my iPad to a PC screen, so that I can view movies or TV shows that I have purchased via iTunes. Unfortunately, once I download the purchased iTunes store show I get an incompatibility message that the type of screen is not authorized to view !
Is there a software to go around this problem ?

No. You can only ouput video from iPad.

Apple vga conversion cable support in maverick? Not working!

So I have I guess the first gen of the Mac Pro before this new one comes out
I have the vga adapter cable that apple made so I could connect my monitor. I downloaded maverick and now my monitor will not work. Is there a work around for this? I just got home from camp work been away for 6 months and would like to work my computer lol.
I'm guessing this is a software issue? Does anybody know of a work around??

Sweet Jesus the old lady messed up my cables
K, Ive dug
Out the proper ones, we just moved.
It's going from right in the back if the Mac Pro, to a hdmi cable. No adapter. Out Mac Pro (forget what that connection is called) to hdmi
The adapter cable is fine it's always worked. When the old lady downloaded maverick the monitor stopped working immed.

TV & monitor connected via DVI to VGA & DVI cable. Wont display

I have my TV & monitor connected to my mini via DVI(input) to> VGA(output) & DVI(output) splitter cable. I cant get both tv and monitor to work at the same time only one or the other. How can I get this to work?
Note: I dont want a continuous display, I just want one to show the same as the other. If there both plugged in why dont they both work?

The answer to your question would require having a block diagram of the mini's graphics sub-system. If the DAC (digital-to-analog converter) behind the VGA port is just driven from the same output as the TMDS transmitter behind the DVI port, then I agree it would be possible that both could output the same screen simultaneously. But if the VGA and DVI ports are treated as seperate channels all the way back to video memory, then likely one would be prioritized over the other, only one could be active, and they would not be able to output simultaneously.
Another potential problem is that TVs and computer monitors generally want to run at very different formats and they require different signal types to be happy. A TV will want an interlaced output whereas a computer monitor will not. And a TV will want a very low resolution, like 640 x 480, whereas a computer monitor will be happiest at a much higer resolution.
I hope for you that someone else has this working and chimes in with some practical advice. I try to avoid making posts where I have no practical advice to offer and only bad news, but in this case I thought you might want to know about some potential barriers to success. Good luck.

VGA Adapter cable?

Hi,
I am about to ween my mother of her old windoz PC (at last) and am treating her to new Mac Mini. I want to use her existing TFT as a monitor which has a VGA plug on the end. I am presuming I need to buy an adapter cable for this but looking at the apple store I am thoroughly confused as to EXACTLY which cable I should be buying. Looking at some of the reviewers on the UK site ,they seemed to be confused as well. Any help would be much appreciated.
many thanks in advance.

That depends upon which MacMini you are buying. As you may have noticed, Apple released a new Mac Mini today.
With the new Mac Mini, you would need the Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A
With the previous model, you would need the Mini DVI to VGA Adapter:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9320G/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
You can also use the first adapter on both devices (since both versions have Mini DisplayPorts).
