Connecting Mini to ADC monitor

Hi. I have an older ADC monitor that I would like to connect to an older Mac Mini (early 2006). I can't seem to find any adapters or connectors that will work. Is it possible with these older models? What do I need to make this connection work? I know I need something that provides power to the monitor. Thanks for any advice or help.

Yo need one of these:

Connecting two Dell Ultrasharp Monitors to Late 2014 Mac Mini

Hello, I want to connect another Dell UltraSharp Monitor, (identical), to my Mac Mini, late 2014 model. However, there's only one HDMI port, and two Thunderbolt ports, can I connect two monitors to this machine?

Yes. You can use the thunderbolt ports with either DVI or HDMI adapters to connect the screens to.

Can I connect Mac mini to iMac monitor

Can I connect a Mac mini to iMac monitor ? To view Mac mini files

Hi Ricemail,
You *may* be able to do so, depending on the specific models of your iMac and Mac Mini, using a feature known as Target Display Mode. You may find the following article helpful:

The HDMI adapter that came with New mac mini, would fit on the connection coming from my old mini. My monitor has receptor same as the end of the adapter.

The HDMI adapter that came with New mac mini, would fit on the connection coming from my old mini. My monitor has receptor same as the end of the adapter.

I found out that I have 2 female ends, my question is where can I find the adapter with 2 male connectors? and what about power supply to monitor?

Connecting a 2nd Palette monitor to iMac

I have an iMac 24" 28Ghz (1Mac,8.1) and want to connect a second palette monitor to the mini DVI port, using a mini DVI to VGA connector.
A search of the forum shows issues with cursor jumping and wrong resolutions.
I really want to run my Adobe CS4 suite with the tabbed palettes on the second monitor to my right.
Is anyone doing this without issues?
Peter

Well given the huge response, I figured I'd just go ahead and warn all the vendors that they could have their stuff back promptly if it didn't work as advertised.
I bought a dead cheap 2-for at OfficeWorks. 2 Philips 160EI TFT 40cm monitors, only A$186 for both. I also got an Apple mini-DVI to VGA adaptor which has dropped in price from Apple's previous rip-off rate to A$25.
Installation was quite straight forward although the monitor looks like a dwarf next to the 24" iMac.
I installed under OSX 10.5.8 and then switched to OSX 10.6.3. Under both it was recognised immediately but defaulted for some reason to a non-native resolution, easily fixed.
I didn't need to *color manage,* that's not what it's for, but both Apple's color calibration and the on monitor controls only screwed it up so I went back to the default settings just playing a little bit with the on monitor contrast and color to try and crisp up the Finder text which still seems too soft. Apple's color calibration lead it to be way too dark. The monitor controls way too light, so factory settings is where it stays.
Visually the monitor is a tad unsharp with a visible vertical banding a little like thin corrugation. Colors are pale, about max 70-80% tint to my eye.
I was able to set separate screen backgrounds, so that I could have a pleasing black & white background to my palettes.
I tested several applications running simultaneously along with movies on both monitors. All work flawlessly so far.
I can now run tutorial DVDs on the 2nd monitor whilst keeping the application to which it refers open on the main monitor. Nice!!
*Testing palettes with Adobe CS4:* They cleverly snap to whichever of the 2nd monitors edges they are dragged to and work perfectly even sensing the real estate available on the monitor. I have set them to snap to the inside (left edge of the 2nd monitor, which is to my right). This means that for the first time the optional sub-palettes pop out to the right in reading order.
All remember their position between re-startups. No sign of flickering or any of the problems reported in the forums. That is in both Leopard and Snow Leopard.
Flicking between fullscreen view using the tab keyboard shortcut and the toolbar options has different results. Sometimes the palettes stay with the main screen in full screen view, sometimes they disappear, I'm trying to work out what combination of actions sets off what.
*Testing palettes with iWork:* They have none of Adobe's smarts but can be stacked a little awkwardly to fit. Awkward because Apple hasn't worked out how to sensibly do this and made them different sizes. However they do remember their sizes (sort of) and positions between restarts.
Pages' Outline/Fullscreen view unfortunately blacks out both monitors. I was hoping I could keep my palettes visible on the 2nd.
Overall I am very happy. I worked with 2 monitors for almost 2 decades until Apple made it both expensive and extremely awkward on several occasions. It feels very liberating to have my full workspace clear again.
OSX is one clumsy design for handling windows, despite/because of all Apple's efforts.
There is no substitute for more/separate screen real estate. So far I am one happy camper.

What cables to connect to the VGA monitor

Hello,
From what I know the Mini Mac 2010 includes a HDMI to DVI monitor adapter. I have a LCD display with a VGA port. How do I use this adapter to connect it to the monitor VGA port. I am thinking about connecting HDMI --> DVI adapter (included)to DVI ---> VGA adapter (purchase) to my monitor. Will it work?
Also, how do I know if the Mini Mac is 2010 or early version before I buy it?
Thanks.

Using the stack of adapters you suggest will definitely not work. The VGA monitor is not a digital signal, where the HDMI is. DVI specs support both analog and digital signals, but when using a DVI to HDMI cable it should have the digital only version of the DVI connector. Even if you can find adapters to fit, you can not go between HDMI and VGA without a digital to analog conversion device in the middle.
Your only practical option is the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter.
If you are asking how to tell a 2010 HDMI equipped mini from earlier models, its quite simple - the HDMI native models are all the unibody aluminum design. The earlier models without HDMI have the plastic top.

Connect a Professional CRT monitor to iMac

Is there any way to connect a Professional CRT monitor to an iMac? I need to color correct my short film. If a regular monitor won't work what kinds will for accurate color grading?

I'm not sure what a professional CRT is compare to other CRT displays, but if it uses a VGA connection, all you need is a mini-DVI to VGA adapter.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9320G/A
I have a 21-inch flat screen CRT attached to my iMac at 1600x1200 resolution. It can go to 1792x1344, but that's a bit too small with the text, and the refresh rate drops to 60 Hz instead of 75 Hz at 1600x1200. You can, of course, choose all the standard resolutions down to 640x480.

Can MBA connect to 2 external monitors?

I have been using a dual-display graphics card in a PC for some time, with 2 monitors connected to make a large working area. Is it possible to do this with the MBA? Is the mini displayport to DVI compatible with dual-display? So far, I have been able to successfully use the MBA with lid closed connected with one external monitor. Cheers!

My impression is that the dual-display adaptor may work with one of those Y DVI splitters for dual-monitor cards. But is anyone certain about this?

Connecting Macbook Pro to Monitor

Hi
I've got a Macbook Pro (early 2011 model) and I was wondering my options for connecting to my HPZR24w monitor. I'm not sure of the connector names, so I have taken a pic of what I have. I've had a look on the apple store, but as I'm not 100% sure what the connectors are, if someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great.
Many Thanks
Wayne

Your HPZR24w has DisplayPort, DVI-D, and VGA ports (one of each). You can use any of them, but each requires different cabling.
Best bet: Buy a Mini DisplayPort male to DisplayPort male cable. Plug the Mini DisplayPort end into the Thunderbolt port on your MacBook pro (the one just below the middle of your picture, with a little lightning-like icon) and the other end into the DisplayPort port on your monitor (which is the lowest one in that picture).
Alternatively, you could buy a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter and male-to-male VGA cable to connect to the VGA port (the blue one), or a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter and male-to-male DVI-D cable to connect to the DVI-D port (the white one).

Computer Behaving Strangely After Adding ADC Monitor

I recently added a 15" ADC monitor to my daughter's quicksilver G4 and ever since the computer has been turning itself on at random times during the day and night. I have zapped the PRAM many times and have even replaced the PRAM battery. I can't end this weird behavior. I have tried swapping video cards - the current one is a Radeon mac pro 9000. The computer is a 733 MHz with 768MB of ram and it's running OS 10.4.10

The monitor in question does have a remote start button and no we don't have housepets. I've seen it go on all by itself.The connections are all solid and the monitor behaves the same on different computers and with different video cards. A defective button seems a very likely suspect. Before I go drop this monitor in the garbage ( I mean take it to the recycling center) is there a way to replace the button or does this monitor present a non-user friendly environment upon opening. This monitor didn't cost enough to spend a lot of money fixing.......but it is a really pleasant screen to look at.

Mini with dual monitors

Hi, I'd like to set up a mini using two monitors, both VGA ,
and both running different resolutions and different apps.
Can this be done?
Thanks,
Carl

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The Mac mini has two video ports; mini-DVI and mini-DisplayPort. The mini ships with an Apple mini-DVI to DVI-D adapter which will not help you in this situation. You could purchase a mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter and a mini-DVI to VGA adapter and then use VGA to VGA cables to connect the adapters to your displays' VGA ports. This setup can support up to 1920 x 1200 pixels, and can be configured in extended desktop mode, allowing you to place different apps in each display's field of view. However, only one of the two displays will have the menu bar, so even with the windows for an app on the other display, all running apps are controlled from the display with the menu bar.

G4 VGA monitor installed OS now want to use ADC monitor

My system was built using a monitor connected to the VGA port. I received the system and I have a 20" Cinema Display with an ADC connector. When I boot I see the Apple logo and the round progress display for a few seconds then the display goes black. I suspect that the system is still looking for the monitor on the VGA port and won't look at the ADC port. Is there any way to change the system to use the other port without reinstalling or connecting a VGA monitor (which I don't have access to)?

Hi.
Now, firstly; your Mac won't likely be looking for a monitor connected to VGA; it will automatically sense that there's an ADC monitor plugged in, so there should be no issues there.
I can't think of a cause for such a problem off the top of my head. However, can you confirm that the system continues to boot after the display turns off?
It's quite possible that the power supply has weakened from age, and can't hold onto the requirements of running both the computer & screen for very long.
If you can still hear drive access, etc. after this point, I suggest you try resetting the PRAM; hold down command-option-P-R right after pressing the power button, and keep them held down until you hear the chime a second time.
Alternatively, hold command-option-O-F, and when the Open Firmware prompt comes up, type the following, pressing Enter between lines;
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all
Give that a try, you never know!

My Yoga 13 Ideapad crashes and reboots when I connect to an external monitor!!

I have the Lenovo ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock through which I am trying to connect to my desktop monitors.
What happens is an automatic reboot. After that reboot, I have been able to log into the machine again, but it will reboot after 2-3 minutes - maximum - if I am lucky.
I searched the forums, but did not find any other with this exact problem, so any help in discovering what goes wrong and how I can fix this is of course greatly appreciated.
My Yoga 13 is brand new, all the Windows Updates and Lenovo Updates have been applied, so I do not think it is missin device drivers. The docking station's software was installed before I hiooked it up, and I have tried connecting both through the USB 3.0 and the UISB 2.0 port, but that does not solve any problems.
Looking through the Event Viewer shows these errors occurring:
* "The Desktop Window Manager has encountered a fatal error (0x8898008d)." This happens 8 times in a row
* Then: "The winlogon notification subscriber <AUInstallAgent> was unavailable to handle a critical notification event."
* "The description for Event ID 1 from source DptfPolicyLpmServiceHelper cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer." I have 2 of those.
* In the System event log, I see this at the same time of the crashes: "The DisplayLinkManager service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 271311 milliseconds: Restart the service."
I have no idea on how to solve this issue, so please, if you have any tips or fixes for me, please let me know!

hi nilsandreas,
can you please check c:/windows/minidmp folder and if there's any file, can you please upload it so i can check it?
