Connecting DVI Monitor to the ADC port

I have a G5 with dual video ports. One is an ADC Port and the other is a DVI port. I want to get rid of my Apple display and connect two Dell monitors both of which have a DVI connectors. How do I connect a DVI connector to the ADC port? The DVI to ADC adapter is for connecting a ADC Apple display to a DVI port. Is there an adapter for doing the opposite--a DVI plug to a ADC port?

The ADC to DVI adapter is for connecting a DVI LCD to the ADC port. It cannot be used with a DVI to VGA adapter to connect a VGA display to an ADC port. For that you need an ADC to VGA adapter, such as:

These are becoming scarce as the ADC is no longer being manufactured.
Your Sun monitor should work from the ADC port using the ADC to DVI adapter, and the Fujitsu from the DVI port using the DVI to VGA adapter.

What is the best way to connect my guitar to the usb port on my IMac

This is for use with Logic Pro X
what is the best way to connect my guitar to the usb port on my
I-Mac

As has been said really, the less you pay the less quality, and flexibility you'll have on your sound.
For example, you could run on a 'Rocksmith Real Tone Cable' if you just wanted a cheap way of getting your guitar into the computer for some fun. Probably cost you $30 (I live in UK so can't be sure). If you're starting out then this could be considered the best option for dipping your toe in the water without spending too much.
You won't get a really nasty sound out of that if you can process it yourself in Logic afterwards to clean up, but it won't be great either. I imagine it could get quite noisy so you'd need to get heavily gating your guitar sound, if you're playing something clean that's not ideal.
Longterm, you're far better getting a decent audio interface, as you need something to play sound back through, if you have different input sources you usually have to create an aggregrate device on osx to use multple sources at once esp if you're using the built in audio chip on your mac to listen.
All this can add latency and possibly sync issues (i.e. drum tracks not in time with audio etc.), although generally it's not too bad, but it's something worth knowing if you want to do things on the cheap without buying a dedicated interface.
What kind of money did you want to spend? Are you thinking super duper cheap, and then see how it goes and maybe spend more in future if you enjoy it? Personally i would say £100-150 would get your something good to start with, like that Presonus audiobox, there's a lot of options like that available.
My local music shop always push the alesis io2 on new users, gotta say i'm not that overly impressed with it. Line 6 stuff will be good however, but limiting. Although i beleive you get their software for free with it?

Airport Express as an end point on a wireless network and connect a computer via the ethernet port?

Can I use my Airport Express as an end point on a wireless network and connect a computer via the ethernet port? - I'm wanting to connect a computer that does not have wireless and is in another building.

The requirements for this to work are:
1) The AirPort Express must be the 802.11"n" version. Model Number is A1264
2) There must be adequate wireless signal stength where the Express will be located
3) The Express must be configured to "join" the wireless network with the option checked to activate the Ethernet port

Connecting a NEC lcd to ADC port on G4

Here's my problem. I have a G4 with VGA and ADC connections. I also have a NEC 17" lcd with a DVI-D and VGA connections. I am using the VGA port on my LCD so I have to use the DVI-D connection if I want to go to my G4. Is this possible to do without paying more than $50 on some crazy adaptor. I've read that there are adaptors that go from DVI-D to ADC but I've also read that sometimes they don't even work. Has anyone got any information that might help me?
Thanks

High_Jumper,
it is unclear what you are planning to achieve. If you want to connect two monitors to one graphic card you need a card that supports that feature. Standard cards are supposed to supply one connector or the other alternatively, but not both.

Can i use multiple dvi monitors on the 2012 macbook pro (non-retina)?

What is the best way to connect two Dell DVI monitors I already have with my new 15" MBP (non-retina)?

You could purchase 2 mini displayport to DVI adapters ($30 ea) and use the 2 Thunderbolt ports. I have one external DVI monitor connected to 1 of my Thunderbolt ports. Works great!
Sorry my mistake. You said non-Retina.

Can I run an HDMI monitor from the Firewire port of my MBP?

This may be a strange one
I am running a late 2011 17" MBP running Mavericks (latest version as of July 2014).
Currently I have a 4TB external thunderbolt drive attached. There is no thru port.
My challenge is, I want to connect an external HDMI monitor, but this MBP only has the one Thunderbolt port, being used by the external drive.
My hope is, that somehow, I might be able to MacGyver something using the Firewire port since I cannot afford another monitor with a TB through at the moment....Technically the cabling would be possible, albeit a bit freakish.
Something like:
Firewire cable out from MBP, plugged into a FW to Thunderbolt converter, thunderbolt converter tip plugged into a MiniDisplayPort to HDMI converter box (like the Monoprice MMP-MDP2H01), then from there to the HDMI monitor.
Would the MBP detect the monitor and route the video signal through the FW port accordingly?
Looking forward to some expert advice and any zany workaround suggestions you all might have!
Respect.

The MDP to HDMI will work fine.

How to connect apple tv when the hdmi port on my tv is connected to the hdmi modem

I just got at&t uverse tv service. The modem is connected to the hdmi port on my tv. I bought a 4 in 1 out hdmi connector box, but don't know if this will work. I've tried plugging the apple tv into one of the in ports, but I can't get it to work. I've tried plugging both the modem and the tv into the out box and other components into the in ports, but it hasn't worked.
Has anyone ever run into this problem where the tv hdmi port is used and apple tv requires an hdmi port?
thanks,
Joan

On connecting my ipod to the usb port in my car, the ipod menu is inaccessible

please help me to access the menu.

Hello shashankj3,
Have you tried *resetting* your iPod classic with it still connected to the USB port in you car? To do this, press and hold the *Select* (Center) and *Menu* buttons together until the Apple logo appears. Don't be afraid to try this more than once if necessary.
If no luck there, try a different cable as well as contacting the manufacturer of your car to see if there is anything they can suggest as well.

Firewire, USB, Ethernet, DVI - none of the side ports seem to work

hey guys, just got this macbook and whenever i plug anything into the side ports, the mac doesnt seem to recognize anything. usb, ethernet, firewire, anything. Any suggestions? Im relatively new to mac os so i dunno if im missing something simple, i thought this system was plug n play?

Make sure the device you are connecting to your Mac is turned on
If that doesn't work, you should definitely take it to the apple store and have them repair it

Just got a new ipad2 , the usb cable to connect wont fit into the charger port` it looks a bit smaller than the ipad1?

just got a new ipad2, the charger cable ( the same cable as ipad1 ) doesnt seem to fit ? i have loads of apple products and the charger is the same on them all ,so whats different? the charge port under the home button looks slightly differant?

I got the same issue with my iPad 2, when I got it on opening day. For some reason, it just didn't accommodate any of my other cords (ipod touch, ipod nano, etc.). Now, though, every one of my cables except for the ipod nano one can fit in it. I think that the iPad needs time to "stretch out" its parts to fit the other cables.

What cable do I need to connect a 2nd Monitor from the thunderbolt port?

Hi I have got one of the brand new iMac's with thunderbolt ports - what cable do I need to connect my Imac to a 2nd display either VGA or DVI - also is there a budget version about as well as I am sure its going to cost a lot from the apple store

Thanks I understand that I need another cable and have that from when I connected my old PC to the 2nd monitor.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY - is this the one I need if going to DVI
I just dont want to waste more money on a cable that says its for an imac to 2nd screen and find it doesnt fit
For info my iMAC is the latest version (27" with the 2 thunderbolt connections and 1 firewire)
Thanks

Hi, I have an iMac running Mavericks that I am trying to hook up an older HDTV as a second HD monitor through the minidisplay port to component 3 color RCA. HDMI is not an option with this set. I have SD working, but need to find a HD conversion set up.

Presently I have a mini display port>VGA adaptor, running to a convertor box I picked up that handles S-video out, which is working fine for SD. I also have a VGA to Component Video (5 wire RCA) adaptor cable. Connecting Component adaptor dircetly to the mini display adaptor doesn't seem to work, neither does plugging it into a VGA port on the SD convertor box. I am guessing there is another convertor box out there that will help me make the transition from mini display to Component. Even if it means having a handful of adaptors plugged in. does anyone know where to find such a wonderful and magical device?
Thanks

Your setup works fine for DV, because you used a DV deck and most likely DV footage. But now you are working with 720p HD footage (what format, BTW? HDV, dvcpro HD?). That same setup won't work for monitoring HD. Now you need an HD box or card to send out a proper HD signal. And since you have an older G5, you won't find any current solutions. You'll have to look at used capture cards that are PCIx. Or you and look at the Matrox MXO, that connects to the computer via a monitor connection. DVI.

HT202856 Can keyboard brightness controls be mapped for a 4K monitor on the Thunderbolt port?

I have a 4K monitor (ASUS PQ321Q) attached to my late-2013 MacPro.
The monitor-button controls for adjusting brightness are awkward, to put it kindly.
Keyboard brightness controls don't seem to work. Is it possible to map them to control the external 4K monitor's brightness?

Yes. Here's a quote from the attached article:
If your Mac has one or more Thunderbolt ports, you can connect up to two displays to those ports.

Getting a warning everytime i connect a cable to the usb port saying it is drawing to much power from computer with it being connected to any device

@Steve359 Wonder if you can help???
We have a Bretford iPad charging station (10 iPads, 30 Pin) when it's plugged into the iMac it charges and syncs all 10 iPads Just fine. We've since picked up 10 more iPads (lightening). This time we bought a Satechi 12 Port USB Hub with Power Adapter & 2 Control Switches (self powered) with wall current in an effort to save about $970 for another Bretford.
We have tried daisy chaining the Bretford and the Hub and get the Too much power error, We have tried plugging in 10 iPads with just the hub plugged in, works fine until we plug in the Bretford, then error msg appears. (both hub and charging station plugged directly into the iMac) We tried same setup with 10 on the charging station and with the hub plugged in began adding iPad to the self powered hub and get to 13 or 14 and then we get the error. Both devices are supposed to be self powered, both plugged into the wall power, both plugged into the iMac (not Daisy chained). Both Usb cords to the Bretford and the Satechi hub are in pristine condition. The 10 iPads in the Bretford are 30 pin and the Hub are the new Lightening connections. Lightening cables are the ones supplied new with the iPads.
iMac running 10.8
Any idea at all how to make this work??
