Apple ADC to DVI or mini-DVI or HDMI

Anyone know where you can get one of these in AUSTRALIA?

Can't see it on the store.apple.com/au
for my new mac mini to drive my big old Cinema HD display
needs power to drive the monitor and USB

Go here: http://www.dviator.com/us/DVIator.html
I am using the Dr BOTT DVIator to run an old school 17" Apple Cinema Display on my brand new 2010 Mac Mini through the HDMI port with the included HDMI to DVI adapter that was included with the Mac Mini. Works great functions perfectly. I purchased the DVIator (Pronounced DEE-VEE-ATOR)a few years ago when I sold my G5 tower with ADC and purchased a 2006 MacPro which has an nVidia Geforce 7300 GT the card is DVI. Worked on my Mac Pro too. Only thing is I am not sure if the Australian Power Grid is 220-240V, but you can check out the site and email them. The sight has links for Dutch, German, Swedish ect.. might get lucky.

  • Have I power down Macbook and monitor (or TV) before connect (or disconnect) through Mini DisplayPort to DVI (or Mini DP to HDMI) Adapter?

    Can I hot plug monitor (or TV) through Mini DisplayPort to DVI (or Mini DP to HDMI) Adapter? Or  I have to power down all before connect/disconnect through Adapter?

    Thank you, Mario.
    I just wanted to be shure because previously i destroyed two videocards on my pc by plugging hdmi without power down.

  • DVI to Mini DVI (Old vs New)

    I have an older MacBook Pro (aluminum keyboard: ~2009) that has the larger DVI adapter on the end.  I recently received a larger Apple monitor that has the combination USB, power hookup and mini DVI.  Is there an adapter that goes from the older DVI to the newer (smaller) one?

    At ~$180...well, all I can say is "Ouch-chi-momma!" Thanks, Niel, I've seen this adapter and was hoping for a much less expensive solution.
    My backup plan is to get a NEC LCD2480WUXi or PA241W for about the same (street) price as the Apple 24" Cinema Display.
    Too bad Apple didn't include the DVI port. With their reputation for quality, top notch monitors, they could sell a bunch to professionals.

  • HT4279 1 DVI + 2 mini port to HDMI adapters?

    Has anybody tried this?  I've currently got 1 DVI (30" connected to the DVI port) and a 2nd HDMI monitor (via miniport to HDMI adapter).  Can I add another HDMI monitor similarly?  There is no documentation on this configuration that I've been able to find.
    Thanks

    Possibly?  But you really should have posted which video card you are using.  Lacking that I'll assume you have a 5x70 card.  With these card, to support three monitors there are some rules you need to follow.  Read the following:
    Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
    Mac Pro (Mid 2010), Mac Pro (Early 2009): Issues with three displays and multiple DVI, HDMI connections
    The general gist of these articles is that you need two active adapters to run thee monitors on 5x70 cards.
    Here's a good explanation of what's going in here and why you need two active adapters on these cards:
    Active vs. Passive Displayport adapters *the truth*
    Your problem is there are no active adapters that I know of for HDMI connections.  And this problem is compounded by the fact that you need dual link DVI to drive the 30" monitor.
    I can see one possibility (not exactly that cheap).  You could put the 30" on a mini-displayport to dual link DVI adapter.  That would satisfy one of the active adapter requirements.  Then you could use the following,
    DVI & S/PDIF Digital Coax/Optical Toslink Audio to HDMI® Converter
    That would satify the second active adapter requirement.  I know it does because I use one of these for my TV (I also attach the S/PDIF into it to pump video/audio to the TV).

  • Mini-DVI to Video Adapter: For TV Viewing?

    The Apple-Salesperson sold me a Mini-DVI to Video Adapater to send pictures to the TV from my MacBook. I get sound on the TV but not the slids. The TV picture only displays the computer's main screen.
    Is this the correct adapter? I see other threads here use something different. Is there a special setting I need to change?
    Thanks,

    With your TV hooked up to your Macbook, you should be able to view anything on your computer. If you have all of your pictures in iPhoto, your best option is to use FrontRow by using the remote.
    (make sure your displays are mirroring eachother, Preferences>Displays)

  • Can I use a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter to use my HDTV as a monitor?

    I've been looking into this and haven't found a direct and complete answer yet. I read this article that states its possible when using mini-DVI to VGA/DVI adapters, but didn't mention mini-DVI to HDMI adapters.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3413
    Apple also doesn't offer mini-DVI to HDMI adapters, so where would be a good place to look for one and what do you think I should pay for it?

    If you have a unibody MBP, you need a mini-Displayport adapter, not a mini-DVI adapter.
    If you don't mind running a separate audio cable in addition to the HDMI cable from your MBP to your TV set, buy this adapter:
    http://www.monoprice.com/products/search.asp?keyword=5311&x=0&y=0
    If you want to combine video and audio into a single HDMI cable, buy one of these two adapters:
    http://kanexlive.com/products/item.aspx?id=3323 (for two-channel stereo audio)
    http://kanexlive.com/products/item.aspx?id=3495 (for 5.1-channel digital surround audio from sources that include it)

  • Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter or Mini-DVI to DVI cable?

    I know Apple has a couple different Mini-DVI adapters for their Powerbook and MacBook computers. I don't especially like adapters and was wondering if anyone knows of a Mini-DVI to DVI cable.
    Also, with the gaining popularity of HDMI, do you think we will ever see a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter or cable?

    Hi,
    I know it is changing the subject, but I've been long frustrated by Apple's penchant for odd connectors, especially video connectors. Remember old quadras with 13 pin D connectors, powerbooks with square connectors, 7100s with I-don't-know-what connectors? All the while, ye olde VGA 15-pin D-sub connector was on just about everything else - even gas chromatographs.
    We also got that funny mini-dix (Digital-Intel-Xerox) Ethernet connector on powerbooks when PCs were outfitted with familiar RJ-45 jacks. I did see one other machine that had the mini-dix: a government spec Zenith notebook.
    I'm surprised Apple didn't use a VGA connector on the Macbook, given its above average exposure in the educational environment and greater than average odds of being hooked up to a lectern in a distance learning room. Pretty much to a tee, every distance learning setup I've seen has a VGA cable at the presenter's lectern. I worked in a university IT department, and it was pretty common for our loaner laptops to come back missing just about any ancillary goodie that could be misplaced. It isn't so bad to have to routinely stuff a new $2.00 cat-5 cable in the bag, but a $20.00 video dongle - not so good!
    If Apple just couldn't countenance the idea of a VGA connector, I wonder how hard it would have been to have a normal size DVI connector? At least DVI-to-VGA connectors are easier to find, and better, aren't so expensive.

  • Mini-Dvi to Video compatability?

    I have a macbook intel core duo 2 i bought under a year ago.
    I was going to by a mini-dvi to video cable so i can use my television with it. On ebay there was a mini-dvi to video cable but the seller said he was selling it because it does not fit the intel macbooks?
    So, do the mini-dvi to video cables on the apple store fit my macbook? It doesnt mention them in the description, it only mentions Intel imac and powerbook.
    Please someone confirm for me if i can use this cable or not.
    Thanks,
    Steve.

    This is directly from the Apple store description for the Mini-dvi to video adapter.
    +The Apple Mini-DVI to Video adapter is designed for use with the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4. The adapter connects to the Mini-DVI port on these computers and provides both S-video and Composite video connectors so that you can view your computer on devices such as TVs, VCRs, or overhead projectors with S-Video or RCA (Composite) connectors. Video cables sold separately.+
    You will also need a cable such as this for audio. Example of 3.5mm to RCA Y cable

  • Macbook video out problem  mini dvi port????  wierd video tranission

    I have been using the Apple cable that converts the mini-dvi to rca jack for connection to external video screen for some time now. All of a sudden, i try to hook it up to the tv to watch a movie and it wont work.
    Here is the funny part... it still transmits video, it will show the image of my desktop... today i switched my desktop image, and tried again to hook it up... this time it shows the OLD desktop image... no icons or anything, just the image.
    Any ideas as to why its doing this? It worked well last week, no other problems, abuse etc, all of a sudden it doesnt work.
    frustrated... please help

    Difficult to tell from your description, but it sounds to me like your Displays in System Preferences may be set to extended desktop mode instead of video mirroring mode.

  • Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter

    I am looking to get a second monitor for my iMac G5 for FCP (I'm also looking to get Final Cut Studio). In the help file it says the iMac G5 has a Mini-VGA port, but at the Apple store I bought a Mini-DVI to VGA and Mini-DVI to TV adapter and they worked. My question is: will the Mini-DVI to DVI adapter work on my iMac if I get a DVI only display, or will it only work on the new PowerBook video ports?

    Here's the adapter I bought that plugs in to my iMac: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/71701/wo/wG77sit XfhnR207tv3YJVD1Q9Tc/6.SLID?mco=75A42EE8&nplm=M9319G%2FA
    It says it goes from Mini-DVI to Video, but the help file on my Mac says I have a Mini-VGA port.
    This is the thing I want to get: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/71701/wo/wG77sit XfhnR207tv3YJVD1Q9Tc/13.SLID?mco=75AEA371&nplm=M9321G%2FA
    But will it plug in to my computer?

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to buy a mini-dvi to HDMI cable?

    Hi,
    At the minute I'm pulling my hair out!!
    Is it possible to buy a cable to connect my 20" Intel iMac via it's mini dvi socket at the back, to a large widescreen lcd tv via HDMI socket on the tv?
    I have telephoned numerous companies on the net and they have never heard of a mini dvi socket (like the one on the back of the imac)!! Apple say I need a mini-dvi to dvi female cable but of course they don't sell them.
    Guys what do I need, and where would I get it? I've already bought a HDMI-A Male to DVI-D Male cable but it doesn't fit the mac, is there an adaptor I can buy or do I need a new cable also?
    Help really appreciated.

    I misunderstood you. I thought you had a link to a mini-DVI to HDMI cable. That's why I asked for the link.
    You can use the adapter you linked to and get a DVI to HDMI cable locally and it will work for you.
    Sorry about the confusion on my part.

  • I am trying to connect my Macbook 4.1 Black to my Samsung UE50F6400 using a mini DVI to HDMI adaptor

    I bought the UE50F6400 samrt TV. It has 4 HDMI ports. HDMI 4 is HDMI/DVI, HDMI 3 is normal, HDMI 2 is (ARC) and HDMI 1 is (STB).
    reading the connection diagram it shows Laptops are to be plugged in to HDMI 4 (HDMI/DVI). But when I plug a HDMI cable in and the other end to the adpator while the mini DVI connection is in the Macbook DVI port. All that happens is the Macbook (4.1 black) screen just flashes blue. This is the same for HDMI 1 & 3, however when it is in HDMI 2 (ARC) the Macbook screen displays. I tried switching TV of and rstarting macbook but still no display on TV. I tried changing display setting such as resolutions and refresh rate on the display preferences and still no display on TV.
    Please can someone help?
    I am think I may have to return the Mini DVI to HDMI cable and get a HDMI to DVI > DVI to mini DVI and do it that way, means buying 2 adaptors.

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
    In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
    The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
    You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.

  • Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter Info

    I wanted to connect my digital LCD to the mini-DVI port on my Macbook. I thought it would be as easy as buying the Apple provided mini-DVI to DVI adapter and then connecting it all together. NOT!!!!
    After searching around for how to solve my dilemma, I decided to post this as a central place for all the information I found on this topic.
    My dilemma is explained perfectly here:
    http://www.creativemac.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=51631
    I hope Apple listens and provides a mini-DVI to DVI-I adapter instead of what they currently sell (and I bought).
    The solution is a "DVI-I Female DVI-D Male Adapter". Here are some places I have found that carries either the adapter or cable that should work. fyi, I have not yet tried any of these so proceed at your own risk. BTW, these are "reasonable" prices, there are more if you want to pay $40 or more.
    Adapters:

    http://www.computercablestore.com/searchresult.aspx?CategoryID=75
    And a cable:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812189044
    All are available for less than $20 although shipping may bring it above that.
    I feel it is a shame that Apple didn't just make a mini-DVI to DVI-I adapter and none of this would have been necessary.
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Dell 1901FP w/DVI KVM

    I have both an iBook G4 and a MacBook, which use each of the adaptors you have described. I found the information on the Apple site by identifying the Model iBook I had, Dual USB, and looking at he detailed views of each model to identify the type of 'video output port'. I obtained a '2 input' VGA switch from Tiger Direct to be able to switch my monitor from iBook to MacBook.
    Hope this helps!

  • Mini dvi to dvi adapter not working with monitor

    arright *** i got a mini dvi to dvi adapter which is connected to my vga monitor through a vga to dvi adapter. The computer recognizes the monitor in display preferences, but the monitor doesn't display anything it just sits in standby mode... any ideas why this isn't working? You'd think if the problem was going from vga-vga to dvi adapter-dvi to mini dvi adapter that it wouldn't even recognize the monitor but it does.
    well that *****, back to best buy to get the other one. Reason i got the dvi one is because i plan on getting a different monitor with dvi soon. But noo dvi adapter wont work with vga adapters.
    Message was edited by: Veiss

    The mini-DVD to DVI adapter doesn't pass through the analog video signals needed for VGA, so won't work with a DVI to VGA adapter. All the control signals are there, so the display is recognized, but there will be no picture.
    They could have used a DVI-D connector on the adapter, instead of DVD-I, so the DVI to VGA adapter wouldn't even plug in, but then it couldn't be used with some non-Apple LCDs, that use DVD-I connecters.
