Airpot not connecting when mini dvi adapter is pluged in.

Airport will not work when I hook up a display through the apple mini dvi adapter. When the adapter is unpluged I can connect to the internet. Does anyone know how to fix the problem. Thanks.

Typically that is an indication the wireless connection is on the edge of reception and the added EMI from the display throws the connection off. What you want to experiment with is placement and proximity of devices. Move the wireless access point closer if possible. Move the display further away from the Mac if possible. Think about line of sight between the wireless access point and the Mac. Is the monitor sitting right in the middle between the two?
You can also try changing channels that the wireless is working on. Sometimes that's enough.

  • Mini DVI-Adapter Not Working

    Today I went to the Apple Store and got myself one of those fancy new Mini-DVI to DVI adapters, hoping it would work with my screen at home, which I had previously running on the Mini Displayport to VGA Adapter on my original MacBook.
    Strangely, when I plugged the cable into the adapter, and into my computer, nothing happened. I did not get video on the screen, nor did my MacBook detect it. I have tried re-plugging the Mini-DVI adapter and clicking Detect Displays in the Displays Preferences multiple times, but no luck.
    I have seen the screen work with DVI about a year ago, but that was on one of the original MacBook Pros. Am I better off returning this DVI adapter and instead buying a Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter?
    Thanks for any help in resolving this problem.

    I have a 22 inch ViewSonic that I got from a friend about a year ago. I did indeed plug the monitor directly into the adapter.
    I brought my computer, adapter and cable all into the Apple Store, and they said it was all OK, but did replace my DVI adapter thinking it was probably defective. I got home, tested it on my monitor, but still not working. I tested it on a newer HP monitor that's on the family computer, and oddly it worked there.
    A bit of research revealed that the adapter did not send Analog signals on DVI anymore, which confuses me, since the MacBook actually does have Analog signals on that port. I brought my DVI adapter in original packaging in to the Apple store again, and they replaced it with a VGA adapter for free, and sure enough, that solved the problem for me.
    Lesson Learned - don't use DVI with older monitors, stay with VGA.

  • My new iPad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. Any suggestions?

    my new ipad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. What should I try?

    Does the charger get warm at all? Plug the cable into your computer with iTunes open. Does it say not charging.? If it does, the cable is good. The iPad will charge very slowly when pluged into your computer.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • What kind of picture quality can I expect from a Mini DVI adapter to Scart?

    I currently have my iMac connected to my tv via the Apple Mini DVI adapter and a composite video cable. There are two problems with this, one is the poor picture quality in general, the other is that the tv screen is not filled by the image from the iMac, i.e. there are black spaces on the left and the right of the screen.
    So my question is, if I used S-Video to Scart, would it kill the problem with the black borders when viewing Front Row etc..? Also, would there be a significant increase in general picture quality?

    Yes, if you can get an s-video cable and plug that into the SCART adapter, that would be better than plugging in composite video.
    Clearly, having an SCART connection is not going to "improve" the video going in, you're going to be limited by the lowest quality connection. An s-video connection will provide a higher (but probably not a lot) quality signal than composite video.

  • Is the Mini-Dvi adapter suppose to click into the back on the Mac mini?

    Is the Mini-Dvi adapter suppose to click into the back on the Mac mini? It does on my mac book but not on the Mac mini. I sort of have to just jam it in there, no nice clicking sound, and it does not feel very secure.

    If after 'jamming it in there' it actually works, then at least you know it's the correct type of adapter. However, if it doesn't work, you are definitely not inserting it correctly or into the correct location. In either case, you may have a damaged port - all the connections on the rear when applied correctly with anything like a decent quality standard type connector should work smoothly. You should never have to 'jam' anything into the back of your mini.

  • No picture w/ mini dvi adapter

    ok. So, I have an Apple mini dvi to video adapter. I use it all the time on my tv's using both composite and s-video (s video on my HD flat screen, and composite on m cheaper tv.) Everything works great. no problems. Until I go to my girlfriend's house. I use the composite side to connect to her tv. I believe it is a Sylvannia or something like that. I get no video, just scrambled style lines.
    Now I've seen this before, with my iPod video cable where i had to change the PAL/NATC settings. Something to do with American versus overseas products. No worries. But i can't seem to find those same settings on my MacBook.
    Where do I change the settings so i can watch movies on her tv? like i said, I didn't change anything when i connected it to my tvs, i get great picture.
    Please help !!!! I can't watch another movie with her on my little MacBook screen......

    ME TOO !!!
    I have connected the mini DVI to video adapter with the composite to my TV (about a 5 year old model). Also connected Audio cords to TV, and the audio is wonderful...BUT NO VIDEO! Actually I get about 5 seconds of a DVD or whatever, and then the screen turns blank...just nice audio thru TV. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Thank you!!

  • Mini-DVI doesn't fit current mini-DVI adapter??

    I'm trying to do something relatively simple - connect a second flat panel display to my iMac. The problem is, the mini-DVI adapter being sold by Apple right now is a male plug, and my socket is also male. Argh!
    Is there a female/female adapter that will solve this problem for me? Help!

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions, 
    The current Intel iMacs have a MiniDVI port which can use one of the following three adaptors:
    Mini DVI - DVI
    Mini DVI - VGA
    Mini DVI - Composite/S-Video.
    However, the iMac G4 uses the Mini VGA port and can use these two different adaptors:
    Mini VGA - VGA
    Mini VGA - Composite/S-Video (1.0/1.25GHz only).
    The iMac G4 can output Video or VGA but will only support display-mirroring (there is a firmware hack available to enable dual-display support on some iMac G4s but it is not 100% safe.)
    I think you've been sold the wrong adaptor.

  • Can't work with Macbook mini-dvi adapter to s-video out under Windows..??

    hi..
    My macbook can work well with mini-dvi adapter to tv out under mac os,but it can't work under windows os..
    If anyone's using their Macbook and has any comments please let me know..
    Thanks.
    Richard

    Yes, if you can get an s-video cable and plug that into the SCART adapter, that would be better than plugging in composite video.
    Clearly, having an SCART connection is not going to "improve" the video going in, you're going to be limited by the lowest quality connection. An s-video connection will provide a higher (but probably not a lot) quality signal than composite video.

  • Help! Problem using Mini-DVI adapter

    I'm a teacher, and I need some help.
    I've been using a Mitsubishi XD 250 data projector at school. The setup I have is exactly the same as it was last year, but something strange is happening.
    The data projector uses VGA, so I have the VGA-to-Mini-DVI adapter from Apple.
    I turned on the projector this morning, as I have a presentation for one of my classes today, but it's not working! The projector comes on, and the iMac shows that it recognizes the external display, but the projector says "No Signal." I have no idea what the problem is, as I've tried restarting both the iMac and the projector as well as connecting and disconnecting the cables.
    Any suggestions? I suppose it's possible that something happened to the VGA cable over the summer, but is that likely considering that the iMac recognizes the external display?
    I really need to give this presentation today, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Dett;
    It is probably simply the wrong signal source being set on your projector. This is normally a remote control switch or your projector. I don't know this model but they all have multiple input choices. Change the input until you see your Mac.
    Hope this helps

  • Mini dvi adapter

    Thanks.

    I assume you want to send the video from your mac book to some kind of external display.
    in that case then no the cables you have will not work since they have a mini jack at one end.
    The mini dvi adapter is for sending video out of your mac book to a tv /projector or display through an S video cable (audio and video) or an RCA cable (video only). If using the mini dvi with rca you could plug your current cable into your headphone out jack and use the red and white part of it to send audio to a tv or external speaker.

    Turn off your printer.
    Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan > Printers window and delete the printer from the list, then add it back.
    Turn on your printer.
    Any difference?
