DVI-I female to ADC male

I have an ancient Apple cinema display, 20", that I would like to connect to an 3-year-old Mac Book Pro. I need an adaptor for DVI-I female to ADC male. I'm not sure such a thing exists, and perhaps I need to cobble this together by connecting multiple adaptors. Any suggestions?

You need more than a simple adapter. You need the Apple DVI to ADC Adapter which is a powered adapter that is no longer sold by Apple. They can be found on the secondary market, or if you are lucky as new old stock somewhere at a retailer.

DVI-I (Female) to VGA (Male) ?

[Also posted in All Apple Cinema Displays]
Hey all,
I know its probably been asked a thousand times, but after a quick seach I havnt found specifically what I am after.
I'm trying to hook 2 20" Apple Cinema Displays to a Dual Monitor 2 port KVM switch.
Trouble is, the monitor input for the KVM switch is VGA only.
I thought it would be a simple converter for $10-$30 for a DVI-I (Female) to VGA (Male) so i can plug the DVI monitor into a VGA port.
I did actually get one, but was awarded with a blank screen.
I have confirmed the KVM works (with dual standard vga screens) and both cinema dislays work (when hooked up directly) so it is defienately the converter that isn't working.
Any suggestions?
Thanks very much...
Ben

You need a DVI KVM switch. The Apple LCDs only accept digital input, so even if you can get the adapters and cables to fit, it won't work with analog VGA.

NB550D - VGA female to HDMI male adaptor

Hello,
I need to connect my Toshiba netbook NB550D to a male VGA cable (this is for projection on screen).
I figured I need an VGA female to HDMI male adaptor. However, I am unable to find any.
Has anybody faced this problem before?
All I was able to find is an HDMI male to DVI female. I'm considering buying a VGA female to DVI male (not easy to find either), but it sounds a bit cumbersome.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

> Excuse my ignorance, but when I bought this computer I specifically asked this questions and the seller assured me that it was possible and that all I needed was the rigth adaptor
Well, its possible of course but there is a difference between
- sending the signal from VGA to HDMI and
- sending the signal from HDMI to VGA.
Its not possible to convert the analogue into digital but it should be possible to convert digital into analogue signal
So I assume you want send from HDMI to VGA. Right.
Well, this should be possible but using a HDMI to VGA like this one:

Looking for 30-pin female to lightning male extender

I purchased an iHome clock radio with 30-pin dock back when I had an iPhone 4. Since upgrading to the iPhone 5 and then the iPhone 6+, I've been unable to use the dock. I'd like to find a 30-pin female to lightning male adapter, but I'd like one that has a lightning extender in place of a standard lightning male connector. I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid case on my iPhone 6+ and I'm afraid that a standard lightning adapter will not work without first removing the Spigen case, something I'd prefer to avoid. I know that there are 30-pin female to lightning male cables, but I was hoping to find an adapter/extender. Does such a thing exist? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Chris! After reading a little further, I'm now leaning toward a cable since others have said that a dock extender can sometimes place stress on the lightning port. Since my iPhone can be placed on the table next to my clock radio when using a cable, this is probably the best solution. I have been using a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable between the clock radio and my iPhone for audio and the usual lightning power cord for charging, but I thought I might eliminate one cable by getting a dock extender cable. I appreciate your help.

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?
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

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:
<http://www.mac-pro.com/s.nl/it.A/id.230/.f?sc=2&category=128>
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.

Is this possible? USB (female) to ADB (male) converter?

It's 2015, and increasingly, ADB keyboards and mice are becoming rarer to find, more expensive and, sadly, in increasingly poor condition. With the abundance of USB keyboards on the market, it would be nice to have the opportunity to use a relatively inexpensive, easily accessible USB keyboard on my old Macs. Has there ever been any attempt to create a USB (female) to ADB (male) converter? Or perhaps a PS/2 to ADB converter? Is this an engineering impossibility, or might there be some hope with a bit of effort? Thanks!

I've seen an 1987 Apple Keyboard (the first gen ADB) on eBay where someone soldered a USB port and replaced the ALPS chip and it could work on any generic USB driver. It's pretty cool, but I'll try to find a link to that.
The only way without replacing chips/soldering is to get Alphasmart ADB/USB adaptor as this is describing what you want it to do. (The Alphasmart device was very popular in schools back in the day, and ex Apple engineers started up that company hence the strong Apple connectivity.)
In fact it's probably cheaper than the iMate, probably $10 to 15 less than an iMate. I think people charge a real high premium on those. It beats the iMate, and all you do is plug the ADB to the keyboard (like the Alphasmart) and the USB to the USB port on the PC/Mac. No need for a separate ADB cable like in the case of the iMate.

Connecting a Creator 3D to a DVI-D Monitor

Hello,
I'm really struggling with this one. I've got an Ultra 10 with a Creator 3D card. This normally has a 13w13 cable to DVI-I connector which I can successfully connect to an older SUN 19" LCD monitor. My problem is that I'm in Asia at the moment and have brought along my Ultra 10 (and video cable) but decided to purchase a new SUN 17" LCD monitor and it only accepts DVI-D or VGA inputs.
Will a DVI-I to VGA adaptor work on this? I've tried connecting the VGA cable from the system board to the monitor but I keep getting a "no signal found" on the monitor. How about a DVI-I to DVI-D adaptor?
I'm getting desperate with this since I can't seem to find (and thus test) a DVI-I (female) to VGA (male) connector.
Really appreciate any feedback on this one.
Thanks everyone.

Hello,
I don't know if adding the DVI-I to VGA adaptor works.
Currently the Creator3D is the default display.
There are two choices:
1. When you remove the Creator3D, the internal video becomes the default display device (and the VGA output becomes operational).
Boot into single-user mode with the reconfiguration option (boot -rs) and use m64config to adjust the display mode.
2. If you have a serial console cable (null-modem) you can switch the default display to the internal circuity without removing the Creator3D. When you dettach the keyboard the serial console port becomes the default input-/output-device.
Get to the ok-prompt.
ok setenv auto-boot? false
ok show-displays
a) /SUNW,ffb@1e,0
b) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2
q) NO SELECTION
Enter Selection, q to quit: b
/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2 has been selected.
Type ^Y ( Control-Y ) to insert it in the command line.
e.g. ok nvalias mydev ^Y
for creating devalias mydev for
/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2
ok nvalias mydev /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2
ok setenv output-device mydev
ok reset-all
ok boot -rs
If no console cable is available, you can try to enter these commands without seeing them. Use reset-all to activate the settings. The utility to change the display mode requires a text console, you can't use a graphical session.

Apple Cinema Display 23-inch with PCI graphics card on a PC...?

My wife has a Dell Dimension 2400 PC along with a Mac G4. The Mac will obviously drive the 23-inch display with no problem, but the PC has on-board graphics which are awful. The only improvement is via a PCI graphics card, and a KVM switch (using the DVI interface on both Mac and PC). Does anyone know of an inexpensive PCI graphics card which will cope with the 23-inch display? Gaming is not on the list of priorities, but page layouts for posters and small (8-page) brochures is what it's needed for.
The Dell's operating suystem is XP Professional, and the G4's is Tiger. Thanks for any help.

I got the blue&white G3 w SDRAM/6GB.
do you think http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DC1P8VA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1& smid=A1EF9OE38VX40W
will solve this? I believe I need a DVI-D female to VGA male adapter?
That adapter is for connecting a VGA display to a computer's DVI port.
If your computer has the ATI Rage 128 graphics card it will have one DVI port and one VGA port. It won't run both ports simultaneously.
If the display has a DVI plug, plug it into the computer's DVI port. No special cable or adapter is needed, but the computer may not support the resolution of the 23".
If the display uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)

you will also need a DVI to ADC adapter

Sansung LCD Monitor mirroring

I have a new HP Pavilion M6-1045dx laptop using Window 7/64-bit. My 8-yr old widescreen Samsung Syncmaster 226cw monitor will not "mirror" the laptop display. The monitor is connected via an adapter which is a DVI-I female-to-VGA Male video converter. The female end is connected to the monitor and male end to laptop. How do I enable this monitor to work with this laptop so that I can choose to use both displays at the same time or choose just the monitor(preferred)? I am not using a wireless setup. I need step-by-step detailed instructions. I feel it must be a simple fix but I am not sure. This is my first post on this excellent forum. Thanks in advance!

IMac 10.4.11 Because permanent vertical lines have appeared on my screen, I need to get a new monitor. The adapter apple sells goes from female VGA to mini-DVI. What kind of cable should I get as well:female to male?

If I use an adapter (female VGA to mini-DVI) for my iMac 10.4.11 OSX, I also need a cable. Should that cable be female VGA to male VGA?
Permanent vertical lines have appeared on my display, and connecting to another display (monitor) requires a cable and adapter. I want to be sure I am purchasing the correct cable for the Apple adapter.

What made me think I need to format if I upgrade the OS?
I just presumed so really.
What made me think I need to constantly format computer with my problem?
Well, after many attempts to repair the drive, which fails, cannot even reach the log in screen, I am left with no other choice?
And also, I have to note now, System Preferences keeps crashing without reason, it either takes ages to load, just by clicking it to open, or clicking something within it, or it just crashes.
And temporarily, it freezes the computer totally, with no response.
Seriously, am I missing a system file or something? Anyone experienced this problem before?
My computer is literally a blank computer right now, installed VLC and Shades, updated Adobe Flash Player, installed Skype and Adium. I would say Growl from Adium caused it, but it has happened prior to Skype and Adium. Any ideas anyone?

Mini-DVI to VGA cable... LCD TV has female input

I recently bought a mini-DVI to VGA adapter from an Apple store, to connect my MacBook with a broken screen to a UMC LCD TV. When it came to plugging the VGA end into the TV, I realised it has exactly the same connector (female I think) as the TV. This obviously means they will not connect, and I haven't been able to find a connector that will do the job. I was surprised to find that after a fair amount of searching no one else appears to have had this problem, so maybe I'm being stupid somewhere here. Thanks for help.

You need a VGA male-to-male cable to connect the Apple mini-DVI to VGA adapter to your LCD TV:
MacBook > Mini-DVI to VGA adapter > VGA male to male cable > LCD TV

DVI to ADC Adapter question

I've got a Quicksilver 933 (2002) and want to get the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro PC & Mac Video Card. I have a 17" Apple Cinema Display and want to add the new 20" Apple Display for an extended desktop. The ATI card has 2 DVI outs. I will need a DVI to ADC adapter. My question is, the adapters (see below) say they are good for connecting to DVI-D out and the 9600 card is DVI-I. Does this make a difference? Does anyone out there have experience running a set-up like this? I would hate to spend $200. on this card and $80. on the adapter only to find out I couldn't use the 17" Display.
My other choice is the 64MB ATI 9000 Pro Mac edition. (This has both a DVI out and an ADC out so I would save ~$200.) I will not be doing any gameing, just extended desktop work with Photoshop, Flash and Dreamweaver. Would there be any noticeable difference between the 9000 and 9600 in these activities? As always, thanks for your input.

Hi Justin,
Can I further the questioning instead of starting my
own new thread?
No, worries, Mate!
I am in a similar situation.
I have a 2003 Quicksilver 933 with dual display
currently running.
(Using a 17" Apple Display & a 17" Sony CRT).
I eventually wish to either upgrade to a 20+ cinema
display and use the 17" Apple display as my extended
desktop, but that may still be down the road a bit.
Until then, Im looking to ditch the CRT for a 15 (or
so) LCD to dave on desktop space and make an attempt
to match the 17'' Apple Display.
Ok, on to the question.
I purchased a ATI Raedon 9800Pro Mac Edition and then
noticed it only have two DVI connections. This won't
be a problem for the eventual LCD upgrade (which has
DVI connection), but I need to purchase a DVI to ADC
convertor for the 17" Apple display.
The Radeon 9800 has DVI and VGA and S-Video output, I believe. If you want to run 2 LCD monitors, one of them will have to have a VGA input (which you can't get on Apple monitors).
1) Can I expect any loss in quality/performace due to
the conversion between DVI and ADC?
No, if the adaptor funcftions properly, there is no loss from DVI to ADC.
2) I believe there are mulitple brands out there
doing this conversion. (Apple, Geffen, etc..) Any
brand looking to be more preferred over the other?
The Geffen adaptor is presently the only one which will support the 17" ADC CRT studio monitor (as well as the ADC LCD monitors).
3) With the convertor will I still be able to power
my mac on and off with the use of the display power
button?
You can power the Mac on, however, some adaptors don't allow you to power it off.
Thanks for any help.
Justin
Cheers!

Mini DVI to DVI doesn't fit DVI to ADC connector supplied with my machine

The DVI end of the ADC adapter has small pins above and below the blade side of the plug while the DVI end of the mini-DVI to DVI adapter has no openings to accept them. Both of these items were shipped to me by Apple with my 12" PB. Any suggestions?
I suspect someone must have encountered this but I didn't see it anywhere when I did a search.

My apologies. I confused an adapter from another company with an Apple product.
