Does DVI-to-HDMI work with my Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter?

Hi,
I have a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter and was wondering if I get a DVI-to-HDMI, will I be able to get HDMI output?
If yes, should I get any specific DVI-to-HDMI adapter?
If yes, will it have sound with it?
Thanks.

So which does the community prefer between Dr Bott DVIator and the Apple DVI to ADC? I have the Apple but it is not working, as it is shutting the monitor down without even starting it (soft shut-down). Is this a bad adapter or the result of "stacking" adapters? I have read that it is more common to a bad adapter result.
Thanks.

Does Thunderbolt work with the Mini Displayport to DVI adapter?

I just ordered a new 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display to replace my Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro. I've been using the Mini Displayport to DVI adapter to extend my screen to an older 20" Cinema Display. From what I can find online, and I'm here asking for confirmation, I should still be able to use the Mini Displayport to DVI adapter with the new MacBook Pro's Thunderbolt port. Correct?

still be able to use the Mini Displayport to DVI adapter with the new MacBook Pro's Thunderbolt port. Correct?
Yes.

Will the old 23" ACD work with the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapte

Will the old 23" ACD work with the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter and the new MacBook Pro?
Apple Store says it is for the 30" only.
Thanks ... Ken

I'm not so sure about that. I'd say the jury's still out until someone gets one and tries to use it single-link.

No display on 2nd monitor with a mini displayport to dvi

Hi there,
I have now owned my Macbook Pro for 2 weeks and received my mini displayport in the post today. Once everything was plugged into my LG monitor, there is a signal present as it shows up in the system preferences and i can move windows to the other screen, but the monitor screen is black and telling me there is no signal.
This is very frustrating as I hate being restricted to a small screen.
Hopefully someone will have be able to help.
thanks,

You are right: Thunderbolt supports both Mini DisplayPort cables and adapters without any problem, but Mini DisplayPort does not support Thunderbolt cables.
If you have got an Apple display with Mini DisplayPort, you can use it with the new Mac Pro. Just use the Mini DisplayPort cable or adapter you need. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#22

Does macbook air superdrive work with mac mini

I have an older mac mini running 10.5.8. Does the macbook air superdrive work with my mac mini?

Be careful to check the spec's, not all LG's support Mac OS X.
I really like my LG GE24LU20 Reviews it's big and bulky, but way faster and more reliable than any SuperDrive. Others here have also recommended the GP10 DVD and Blu-ray™ Drives IT Products
Plus, don't forget to look at > LaCie - LightScribe DVD±RW, Duplicators and Blu-ray - USB 2.0 & FireWire
and > SuperDrive DVD, DVD Dual-Layer, CD-R/RW, Blu-Ray Optical Drive Solutions FireWire, USB2, eSATA

Toshiba BT Stack not working with Belkin mini BT v4.0 adapter

Hello,
I've recently purchased a belkin mini bluetooth v4.0 adapter for desktop but when i try to use it with toshiba bluetooth stack when i reach the part about the device plug it will not recognize it.
I know its because it not listed on the default programs list and i have to add the device manually but i cant seem to work it out.
If u can provide me a detailed walkthrough on how to modify my tosrfusb in order for the toshiba bluetooth stack to accept this usb bluetooth adaptor i would really appreciate it.
I saw there was a similar thread but it was locked and the posters there didnt mention how they made it work
Im using windows 7 64 version (toshiba bluetooth stack format is 8.0012 for 64 version)
The usb is called on device manager Belkin Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter and my hardware id is
USB\VID_050D&PID_065A&REV_0112
USB\VID_050D&PID_065A
I have already installed it using its software cd rom for the record, so i if need to uninstall it please let me know. Try in advance for your time and patience

In my personal you should visit the Belkin support website to get more details how to get running such Mini-Bluetooth V4.0-Adapter
As you said, the software was provided on the CD.
Therefore I assume that you need to install some Belkin software to get this USB adapter recognized properly
Before the system would not recognize this USB adapter, you will not be able to establish the BT connection.

Mini-Displayport to DVI adapter not working, but Mini-Displayport to VGA and Thunderbolt work fine

Mini-Displayport to DVI adapter not working, but Mini-Displayport to VGA and Thunderbolt work fine.
This is a brand new MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012) just received. I suspect that this is a hardware problem as:
The mini-displayport to DVI adapter and the external monitor that I am utilizing connect and operate just fine using my older MacBook Pro (mid-2010) with the same OS.
The new MacBook Pro powers the external monitor with a mini-displayport to VGA adapater without issue.
The new MacBook Pro powers an Apple Thunderbolt display without issue.
Both MacBook Pro's are running OSX Lion 10.7.4.
The only combination which does not work is the mini-displayport to DVI adapater used in conjunction with the brand new MacBook Pro (mid-2012).
All adapters and components (mini-displayport adapters) are Apple retail adapter.
I have tried several external monitors, including my Dell U2412m.
When I connect the mini-displayport to DVI adapater to the new MacBook Pro (mid-2012), nothing happens. The external monitor reports "no signal" and attempts to go into sleep mode. Using the "Detect displays" button has no effect, even when used multiple times. Rebooting does not help, nor does resetting the SMC or PRAM.
Any other suggestions before I take it to the Genius Bar?

I turns out that the logic board of my MacBook Pro was faulty (despite being brand new).
I took it to the Apple Store, presented the problem, and one of the Tech's came to the same conclusion that I had -- hardware failure. Phone support was no help in the matter (and even told me that what I was trying to do wasn't a supported option, which is rediculous). However, the Genius Bar did take care of the problem, and my MacBook Pro was back to me with a replaced logic board within a few days.
Hope that htis helps.

Mini DisplayPort to DVI + DVI to VGA Display Adapter, will it work?

Hi,
I have a MBP, and I have just purchased an apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
I want to connect it to a VGA port.
Can I buy an Apple DVI to VGA Display Adapter and connect it to the connector above.
Will that work? Any one with experience who could advise me on that?
Thanks.

This does not work, because the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter has a DVI-D port that transmits only digital signals. VGA uses analog signals.

Mini Displayport to DVI working in Bootcamp but not in Leopard

I've got a new unibody MBP together with a mini displayport to dvi adapter.
When I connected the dvi cable with the MDP2DVI adapter to my new MBP and my 3-months-old Benq 20" LCD monitor, nothing shown up no matter how I tried. The monitor just kept saying no signal could be detected.
Being frustrated so I did some googling, and I'm surprised by the vast number of people who have got problems with the external display!! I really didn't notice this before I decided to buy this MBP and I'm a little regretted, coz the 2nd monitor is so essential to the productivity of my work...
After searching around for a solution for some time, I am pessimistic of waiting for a solution from apple as I see some people had already address this issue in late 2008 but till now seems no solution had came out.
Last night when I use bootcamp to enter Windows XP, surprisingly it can recognize my external display!!! So now I am quite sure that it's the problem of Leopard but not the display hardware nor the adapter nor my monitor/cable. Did anybody have the similar problem as me tried this in bootcamp??

keepyourpower,
For what its worth I've been having much the same issue with my Macbook Pro. Leopard will refuse to see the external display while Windows Vista on bootcamp 90% of the time will but not without some effort. I've been able to get Leopard to use the display after going in to Windows and manually selecting display attached in the display properties menu. It doesn't always work but it will sometimes.
I'm 100% sure there is a flaw in the logicboard on some of the 2.4 Ghz that is causing this issue. I recently sent my portable in for repairs and they replaced the display which is why it was in and the Logicboard. I'm not sure why they replaced my Logicboard nothing was wrong with it, but with the new one its having much the same problem as you. As I said before I'm 100% sure this is a hardware defect in the Logic Board and if you are within your 14 day return window I'd see about asking your local Apple store to exchange the unit for a new one.
Not really sure if this will help you at all but didn't want you to think you were alone with this issue..

Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter won't work on thunderbolt port

Hello
I bought 2 new Macbook Pro 13' , 2.9 Ghz Intel Core i7, with 8 Go 1600Mhz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E2617).
I have connected a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter in order to show presentations on different LCD projectors but no image appear.
The external monitor is detected but no image is shown. I have tried to change the frequencies: parts of the screen appears but no a correct image. I have the same symptoms with the 2 Macbook Pro. Using old Macbook Pro with the same Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter, the slides are showns normally.
I make a test with a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter and with a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter and everythings works correctly with both adapters.
Does anybody has a solution?
Thank in advance for your help
Philippe

By any chance were you using a VGA->DVI adapter when trying to use the Mini-DisplayPort->VGA adapter? As in Mini-DisplayPort->VGA->DVI?
I had trouble with this. I found going straight to Mini-DisplayPort->VGA or Mini-DisplayPort->DVI worked perfectly but once I added a VGA->DVI or DVI->VGA adapter to the chain the screen would be detected by OS X but the monitor itself would give the "No signal detected" message. I tried all these combinations on the same monitor.
Not sure if it helps your situation but I have noticed some similar issues.
EDIT: Oh, and I have the new MacBook Pro 15inch with Retina all fully updated. I noticed that with my late-2009 White Macbook didn't have this issue with the cables and adapters.

Red static using Apple's mini-Displayport to DVI Single Link adaptor

Here's the problem :
The adapter from Apple I got is the 30$ (or so) DVI-D Single Link (nine pins active on the side with six pins non-active in the center).
My Dell 2408WFP monitor got two DVI-D Single Link connectors.
I did my test with two different cable : one DVI-D Single Link and one DVI-D Dual Link. Both cable are working just fine since I can hook either my older Macbook Pro Core Duo or my PC to the monitor using them.
But when I 'm trying to use my new Macbook Pro Unibody 13" with the mini-Displayport to DVI adapter I always get red statics : one pixel dots flickering randomly all over the screen. The picture is there, though, and my computer is able to recognize the display and its native resolution (1920x1200). Sometime, the display seems to lose the signal and shows only white noise.
Any idea, similar experience?

Thanks for everything,

Problem solved here, really. Nothing to do with Apple. Everything to do with Dell.
So I got a replacement monitor (a second one) from Dell regarding another problem with the Displayport connexion. It fixed this problem. I then tested the same mini-Displayport to DVI adaptor on this new replacement monitor : works flawlessly. No problem whatsoever. No static. No suddenly going in sleep mode. No random disconnection. So the problem was the monitor : EDID profile, maybe firmware. See below.
Here are more details which I got using SwitchResX. I hope it can help others for diagnostic.
The monitor that was ALL wrong was : a Dell 2408WFP, EDID version 1.3, product code 10912 (2AA0) (A02A) (which means, I think that it was REV A02A : you CANNOT rely on what's written on the sticker on the back of the monitor for that info especially when you get a replacement monitor, use SwitchResX).
The new monitor that is WORKING (with everything : Diplayport connexion as well as mini-Displayport to DVI adapter) : a Dell 2408WFP, EDID version 1.4, product code 11168 (2BA0) (A02B) (so I guess is REV A02B).
Notice the difference in the EDID version AND in the REV version.
If you have a Dell monitor, same model (2408WFP) and are experiencing problems with your connexions, check those info, call Dell for a replacement.
Thanks for all your feedback and suggestions. I'll post this on Dell forum as well.

Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter problems

I connected my Apple Pro to my HD TV to watch streamed movies on my computer using the TV as a monitor. I was advised to purchase a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter and all the connections fit. The first time I connected it was no problem. I watched the movie and the audio was fine. Then the 2nd time I connected I had no screen. It was a blue wavy screen on the TV, even though the computer screen was showing the show. I believe it may have been showing me some sort of screensaver application from what i've read on the forums but I have no idea why or how. Then the next day I tried again. The screen was fine but the audio quality was terrible. It was like listening through a cheap radio. Why am I having so many problems and the quality is not consistent. Are there settings I should change when I do this?

I have some good news.
Regarding the broken lines on the output of the Mini DisplayPort, it seems as though it "fixed" itself. My theory is, I recently installed Windows 7. Updated all the drivers on the windows side and got it to project properly with the new Intel 4000 graphic cards. Once that happened, it kind of "popped the cherry" on the port and now both Mac and Windows output properly through the Mini DisplayPort.
I've tested it with numerous adapters and once it outputed properly for the first time ever, all subsequent times work.
I now have tested in on LCD and DLP projectors, Philips monitors, Skyworth TVs, Sanyo TVs.
It's working with the Mini DisplayPort - VGA adapter.
It's also working with the Mini DisplayPort - DVI adapter as well.
Before I "popped the cherry" on the output port, nothing else worked. 1440x900 didn't work, neither did mirroring the displays. It just had to work once with whatever OS and after that it outputs fine all the time.
If you ahve the same problem as above, i'd recommend dual booting another OS, load the proper graphix drivers, get it to output properly once and hopefully it'll fix the problem like it did for my unit.
Thanks for everyone's input with the whole ordeal!
PS. after the initial output, it didn't matter which adapter I used. I kept the generic since it's cheaper, returned the apple one cuz it's exactly the same, and now bought a generic MiniDP - DVI for my at home workstation.
PPS. One final picture of it working....

MBP to HDTV won't work - mini displayport to dvi - belkin dvi to hdmi

Hey, I'm trying to get my laptop hooked up to my tv, using the apple mini displayport to DVI -> belkin DVI to HDMI cable setup (as recommended by the dude int eh apple store - which i knew and planned on doing anyway :P).
anyway, when i first plugged it in to the tv in my hotel room it worked, 1080p, then stopped .. then randomly worked again after a few ties. Once I got home i hooked it up to my sharp aquos 42 and worked fine, then after it was unplugged and tried to get it working again, it basically just.. wouldn't - i don't get a picture/signal on the tv, no options in the display cp , nor does the screen go blue when it normally finds a monitor/tv. i've tried plugging it in both ends, restarting, turning tv off/on, everything to no avail. I know the dvi-hdmi cable works, used it from a windows desktop to make sure. the mini displayport to DVI works for DVI 100% of the time into one of my monitors.
as mentioned it had worked at first on and off..., and now i cant get it working on my 1080p tv, nor the 720p one that's in my room, neither of them get a picture/signal; no options in display control panel either, or the quick display flash to blue. Furthermore, sometimes when unplugging the dvi cable from the tv i get the laptop screen flash, as when it picks the device up initially.
I never got my emailed invoice from apple when I bought the cables in in SF during macworld so I cant just return it to apple I'm sure.
any ideas would be greatly appreciated, please help this is making me go crazy... worked and now nothing no matter what i try. Oh, also tried on another, new user to see if it was a weird setting that got saved.
mbp running 10.6.2

I have the same mini display port adapter and Belkin DVI-HDMI cable (but a Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV) so just set this up on it to see if I could duplicate your problem, unfortunately for you (but good for me) I can't.
I connected the adapter+HDMI cable before switching the HDTV on and then powered up the MBP. It (the HDTV) came up with my background right away (it's set at Mirror not extended Desktop) and when I run System Preferences/Displays get the following. Sorry but all I can confirm is that adapter+cable combination should work ...
Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys?

Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D adapter works with Mac Mini 2010?

Hi,
I would like to connect my Mac Mini (2010 edition) to both my Samsung PX2370 display and my LCD TV. Currently, I only have the Samsung display connected through the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter, but I'd like to use the HDMI output to directly connect my LCD TV, and connect the Samsung display by using a Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter, like the one that is for sale at the Apple Online Store. Such adapter should work without trouble with any MAc computer that has a mini DisplayPort output, including the Mac Mini, right?
Thanks in advance for your support.

You're right, but I forgot to mention that the Samsung display is just an LCD monitor, so I don´t really need to get audio output for both connections
Currently, I use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter to connect the Samsung monitor, but I'd like to use the HDMI output to connect my LCD TV instead (and probably a home theater system in the future), and use the Mini DisplayPort output for the monitor, so that I can have a dual-display setup.
I asked this question, because I read the description for the Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter in the Mexico Apple Store web page, and that description tells that only Macbooks support the adapter. In the US Apple Store page, it does tell that the adapter is supported by any Apple computer with a Mini DP connection, so I just wanted to confirm which description is true, to avoid confusions.
Anyway, I appreciate that you took the time to respond... Regards!!

Does the "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter" work with all Samsung tv models?

Does the "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter" work with all Samsung tv models?

It's a VGA adapter. Nothing special about that. If your Samsung monitor supports VGA then it will work.
But why not go completely digital and use a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to skip the analog conversion? It also supports passing audio over HDMI.
