Connecting iBook to a projector

I want to connect an iBook G4 to an Epson projector. How do I do it? The projector has a blue multipin socket as standard and a plug in card, presumably for wireless networking. My Pogue manual does not mention projectors at all. I suspect I have to change the output from LCD screen to something else, but I can't find any way of doing this. Any help gratefully received.

You may get faster service by reposting your query in the iBook G4 forums here:

The one you're in now is for the G4 mini-tower so the hardware is quite a bit different.

Distortion when connecting iBook to Sony Projector

I have an iBook G4, 1Ghz, 10.4.11, 1.25GB RAM, Keynote '08
When I connect the iBook to any TV using composite, S-video, or 15-pin VGA I get a crystal clear picture. But when I use it at work with a Sony VPL-CX86 projector the picture is distorted on the screen. There is a slight distortion (scratch marks) using the 15-pin connection, and a terrible distortion (flowing lines of "noise") using composite and s-video.
I cant imagine that there is something wrong with the iBook since it works fine when connected to a TV, but Im wondering if there is? Or is there something I can do with the projector to fix the picture?
Thanks for any input!

OK... problem solved! But new questions arise.
I found that when my iBook was plugged in to the AC adapter, it created "noise" on the projector picture. But when I connect the iBook to the projector and use battery power, the picture is crystal clear. Weird, but now I know that something in the power supply causes the picture to distort... Now I just charge up the iBook before I need to use it.

I can't believe this. This reply is actually in the manual, if I hadn't panicked at the sight of the connector! I am most grateful for the patient and factual manner of your reply. Best wishes, Terry

Connecting iBook G3 as second monitor for iBook G4

I want to know if (and then how) I can connect my iBook G4 (running on OSX (10.4.5)) to an iBook G3, ultimately connecting the iBook G3 to a data projector, so that I can use presenter tools in PowerPoint.
iBook G4, iBook G3 Mac OS X (10.4.5) iBook G3 will be connected to the data projector
iMac G5; iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

If I understand what you want to do, you want to use another iBook as a second monitor. Is that correct? If so, there's no way to get video into the second iBook. There's only a video output. You can connect your iBook to another monitor now or to a video projector. The image on the second monitor would mirror the iBook's. Screen Spanning Doctor allows you to have the desktop span across two monitors. Be aware though that SPDr is a system hack and could void your warranty if you use it.

Blueberry iBook and Epson projector..

I know this is similar to another post but my iBook is older and the projector is different. The only cord I can find (my brother donated this computer to my classroom) is a short 6" clear cord with what looks like a yellow A/V type end (female) and a round (male) pronged (sorry-can't think of what its called) end. Each ends says "out". Is there another cord??

Sorry but the Blueberry iBook does not have any type of video output. Therefore there is no way to connect it to a projector.

Can't connect MBP to LCD projector using DVI-TO-VGA adapter

I am trying to connect my MacBookPro to a Hitachi CP-X885 projector, which I normally connect an IBM Thinkpad to at 800x600 or 1024x768. I also use my MBP and the VGA adapter to connect to other LCD projectors and monitors (so my adapter works, as well as both systems, projector, cables, etc.). Problem is, that when I connect my MBP to the projector (I have to connect it via VGA as there is a 250 foot cable that goes to the front where the rear-projection takes place). When I do the "detect displays" nothing is detected. I also connected directly to the projector using a shorter cable, same thing (doesn't detect it). So, is the projector not supplying some type of signal to the output, that the MBP wants to see?)... is there a way to FORCE the MPB to have output? I know that if there is signal, it will display (we have LOTS of notebooks that display to the projector just fine, BUT have SEVERAL MBP's, and NONE of them will detect, and we've tried several adapters (just to be sure)... HELP!... is there some way to FORCE output from the MBP instead of it having to DETECT IT???
Thanks!

Sorry Walter, but according to the Terms of Use (which you agreed to the first time you logged in to the Discussions and can be found if you click on the "Help" link to the right):
Do not post a URL unless it directly answers a user's question.
The URL you post does not answer David's original question. Also, it could potentially void his warranty because a firmware hack (and this is indeed a link to a "hack") is an unauthorized alteration to the hardware of his computer. ("Software" can only be installed on the hard drive and that hack is not installed on the hard drive, it's installed on the firmware on a chip inside the logic board.)
I don't want to take this thread off-topic, but your reply does NOT help David's situation. I would, however, value your input and anyone else's to this and any other topic in the Discussions as long as it is pertinent to the original subject.

I am trying to connect to an external projector

I have a 15" Macbook pro running Windows XP Pro bootcamp, I am trying to connect to an external projector using the Mac mini dvi to vga adaptor, I have now tried two different adaptors but still I cannot get the display to work.
Does anyone know if there is an update that needs to be installed or additional drivers that may need to be installed for this to work?
Anyone out there have any ideas?
Thanks
Simon

Thanks to the suggestion of downloading XP Service Pack 3, the problem seems to be resolved!

Connecting MAC Air to Projector - which is better, hdmi, vga or usb?

Connecting MAC Air to Projector - which is better, hdmi, vga or usb?

HDMI is thje preferred digital replacemnt for older analog video standards, which your other choices use. It offers far higher signal and definition quality.
Apple has an adapter that is used with your Thunderbolt port/ Mini DisplayPort, if yours is equipped as such.
I've not had a problem with this. It is a Belkin.

Connecting to a Network Projector

We're looking to upgrade our office projector and are interested in using the built in Windows feature, "Connect to a Network Projector". I've asked a few manufacturers if they support the future and they said no. I have a feeling that all network
projectors are connectible using the built in tools Windows has. Has anyone had any luck with this feature? If so, what projector brands? We're hoping to avoid installing custom software. Thanks.

Hi,
Just an example:
PLC-WXU700
http://us.sanyo.com/Projectors-by-Market-Government-Meeting/PLC-WXU700
it states: compatibility with the Windows Vista® Network Projector Function

When connecting to an external projector, an old photo is displayed and does not update

When connecting to an external projector, an old image is displayed and will not update. I am working on a 2009 Mac Book Pro.

This is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum.

Grey screen when connected to external monitor / projector

I have a 13" Macbook Pro (OS 10.6.7, 2.4 GHz Intel, NVIDIA GeForce 320M) that is freezing up when connected to an external monitor or projector. The monitor or projector works fine when initially connected, but after an hour or so of use, both screens will suddenly turn grey or black and the computer is totally unresponsive (the sleep light is not on). I have to do a hard shut down using the power button. This problem only occures when connected to a monitor / projector.
This freeze up happens in various use cases; watching a movie, web surfing, editing docs, or even when i'm away from the computer, it seems entirely random.
I'm connecting to a Dell U2711 external monitor using a HDMI cable. I've tried 3 different HDMI cables / adaptors, so I'm pretty sure it's not the cable that's the problem. The problem also occures when connected to an Epson Powerlite HD 705 projector (again using HDMI)
I've called Applecare and run a Hardware Test (no issues found), I've also re-installed the operating system and ran all updates. The problem still occures.
Idea ideas on what's wrong?

Found the solution here: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/152203/osx-10-10-yosmite-turn-off-macbo ok-pros-display-while-connect-to-external-moni
In terminal:
Enable: sudo nvram boot-args="niog=1"
To undo: sudo nvram -d boot-args
This works brilliantly!
Steps I use:
1) After putting in the terminal command, reboot and close the lid immediately
2) Keep the lid closed during boot up and once logged in, open the lid
3) The MacBook Pro's screen is off

How do you connect iMovie to a projector?

I have no problem with keynote, it connects easily to a projector, but I do not find a way for iMovie
Help please

I had a similar problem that I solved with Apple TV.
This thread was very helpful:

And this article too:

But if you don't have Apple TV, then you might want to check the correct forum for iMovie for OS X, for the Mac and this thread here:

How to connect lumia 1020 to projector

hi! somebody knows how to connect lumia 1020 to projector??? maybe exists any programs for it? i want to make a presentation in a real time direct from my phone Lumia 1020!
Thanks in advance

The Lumia 1020 does not support tv or video out via cable. You can play media stored on the phone via wifi to a DLNA enabled player. This won't work for Powerpoint.
A possible workaround is to use the Nokia Beamer app to share whatever appears on your phones display to an internet connected tv or display.
