DVI Interface adapter

Dear forum,
I'd like to link my MacBook up with my LG flatron for graphic design work.
The DVI connector is not compatible with the MacBook it needs an adapter.
What type of interface adapter is required for the MacBook Pro?
How can I obtain it in the UK?

You most likely need a Mini DisplayPort adapter; click here and find your model for more information.

  • DVI HDMI adapter possible?

    I need a mini DVI to HDMI adapter, but there appear to be several different shapes, etc.  What should I buy?

    When you first hook it up it will probably have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and yourbackground screen will be on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
    In System Preferences>Display there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangementtab under the two monitors box.
    If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI toHDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a stereo system for audio. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there's no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.

  • I've just hooked my 20" iMac up to my Toshiba 37" HDTV using a mini dvi-HDMI adapter, and works well, EXCEPT for the green tinge (or hue) that is showing up on my TV. Any suggestions or ideas?

    I've just hooked my 20" iMac display up to my Toshiba 37" HDTV using a mini dvi-HDMI adapter, and everything works well, EXCEPT for the green tinge (or hue) that is showing up. Everything else looks pretty good though..... The color that is on my iMac is still good, Its just green on the TV.
    Anyone have suggestions or ideas?

    Try opening the Display System Preferences, then click on the Color options in the Display preferences window that appeared on the Toshiba display. Click on the Calibrate button and follow the instructions for creating a custom ColorSync profile that will hopefully solve the green tinge issue. The Apple Display Calibrator Assistant software that launches when you click on the calibrate button will walk you through the process.Assuming that the green tinge is minor and that you don't have a more serious cable or hardware issue, I am hopeful the results will be worth it.

  • DVI-HDMI Adapter for hooking up a HDTV...Few problems...

    I have a spare 32" Sharp HDTV with HDMI, so I placed this next to my Mac Pro and used a DVI-HDMI adapter. Here are the problems:
    With my standard GeForce 7300 GT you cannot use both connectors, as they are too close together - so I could not even test to see whether both DVI outputs can work at the same time. So I have to disconnect my 23" cinema display. Now, the Macpro recognizes the TV - in the display preferences - but the resolutions are not good - the only one that works is 1280x720. Other resolutions listed, ie, 1344x756 and higher are listed as interlaced and all cause flicker. This means I do not see the OSX top menus.
    I wish to be able to show clients samples of edited movie clips on a HDTV both in FCP and standalone QT. I doubt that appleTV is the answer, as this only works in iTunes - plus, my Mac is next to my TV anyway.
    Any thoughts on making this work better? I am trying to not have to buy a new video card. Maybe the Black Magic Intensity card for HDMI output is the answer?

    I can live with the lower resolution - the TV is actually 1366 x 768, but the most annoying is not being able to use both DVD connectors on the card at the same time - they are too close together, how stupid is that?
    Ideally, I would like to see both the cinema display and the HDTV running at the same time - or least not having to manually switch over the adapter at the rear.
    I see no way around this, unless I change video cards but for $250 I can get the Black Magic HDMI card which outputs DV via HDMI to HDMI.

  • Mini DVI video adapter doesn't plug into MacBook

    I purchased a Mini DVI video adapter at the time that I purchased my MacBook in late 2007. I planned to use it later to connect to a larger monitor. I also purchase a MacBook for my wife in late 2008. I recently realized that this Mini DVI video adapter will not plug into the display plugin on either MacBook. I searched, but cannot find any video adapter that will actually plug in to either MacBook.

    Here's a mini-DVI cable and port
    Here's a mini-DisplayPort port:
    Here's a mini-VGA cable and port (the port is to the right of the USB 2 port):
    This should help you determine what you actually have.

  • Mini DVI - Video Adapter, Not Working?

    I would like to use my standard definition television as an external display for my Macbook (late 2008 model running OS X 10.6.6), so I purchased a mini DVI-video adapter. I connected the adapter to my Macbook, then an S-video cable to the adapter, and then the S-video cable to my TV. Doing this makes the Macbook screen fade to blue then back to the regular screen, however the TV seems to not even register for it continues to show nothing. In my display settings there is a button for detecting external monitors, though when pushed nothing happens.
    I have tried to change the screen resolution and nothing happens. Also I have substituted a composite cable for the s-video cable and nothing seems to happen.
    CAN SOMEONE HERE PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS ISSUE, OR ADVISE ME ON WHAT I SHOULD DO NEXT?

    Are you sure the adapter is compatible with your MB? There is a list here that should tell you if it will work or not.

  • Open Interface Adapter Import issue

    Hi,
    I am trying to import Open Interface Adapter xml file from Source Adapter option in ERPi but getting an error message - "Select Directory for Export".
    Not sure if I am missing any step here. Does anyone know anything about this error?

    THe issue was that Open Interface Adapter requires a directory to be created on the server and xml file to be placed here.

  • Multi Period Load using Open Interface Adapter in FDMEE

    There was a similar question, but it didn't exactly cover this.   I already have a ticket open with oracle, but I'm hoping someone here can help.
    We currently use a Before Improt script to populate the Open Interface Adapter table.  As a simple example, we data from a PeopleSoft ledger for a period to load to our Hyperion Planning system.
    The Workbench process works perfectly.  Import for January 2014 grabs the data for 2014 from PS and loads it through.  Ideally we would like to be able to use the Data Load Rule option to execute the process for a range of periods, so that I could reload all of 2014 by selecting a Start Period of Jan 2014 and an end period of Dec 2014. 
    Unfortunately what currently happens is only the first period is processed despite the range.
    I've seen several references to period mappings as possible solutions.  This information was already verified by Oracle, but for the clarification, we've create them and mapped them at an applicaiton level.
    Any ideas as to why it would only run the first period of the range?

    Just an update:
    In order to use the Start Period/End Period functionality, you must specify a source period mapping and define a calendar in the rule.
    This issue "partially" solved my problem, however it turns out the BefImport and other Event Scripts only run once for the range.  Using the select query below:
    "Select * From AIF_PROCESS_PERIODS where PROCESS_ID = '" + str(LoadID) + "' Order by PeriodKey ASC"
    I was able to optain the records containing the periods in the Start/End range, so I was able to just create loops in the BefImport and other event scripts as necessary to mimic the running of the event scripts on all periods in the range.
    That said, I still have no solution for executing target application calcs (we have one calc that runs before load to do a clear and another after load that runs an aggregation).
    Anyone have any thoughts on how to make those calls loop?  Because the ranges can cross years, I can't just pass the periods to the calc since Jan-FY14 to Feb-FY15 isn't just Jan to Feb and FY14, FY15 (which would only be 4 periods total vs the 14 it should be).
    Alternatively, is there an easy way to call a essbase calc script from an event script?

  • I need a DVI-Video adapter or a MiniDisplayPort-Video adapter to capture analog sources in my Mac.

    I need a DVI-Video adapter or a MiniDisplayPort-Video adapter to capture VCR and analog sources. Which is the right one for the Mac Pro (Early 2009 with NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 board)? Because i´ve seen a couple of cables but they say it´s just for Power Mac G5. I need exact model for my mac pro. I found this one but its´ just for Mac Pro with with ATI X1900 XT. The question is which one do I need for the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 board? Is is the same one?

    There was a similar post just the other day with what I think is the same confusion.  You said,
    I need a DVI-Video adapter or a MiniDisplayPort-Video adapter to capture VCR and analog sources.
    And the way I read that is you want video input (keyword you used was "capture").  Is that what you really want?  If so adapters you are looking at is for video output, i.e., to send video from your computer to a display device (e.g., a TV or monitor).  If you really want to video input (into your computer) then a simple cable isn't going to work.  You need a pci card that handles such functionality.

  • No widescreen modes available using dvi-vga adapter

    I have a sony gdm-fw900 24" widescreen CRT monitor and just bought a new mac mini (1.66 dual core, 1GB etc). For some reason the mini does not detect that this is a widescreen monitor so all i get are standard 4:3 resolutions in the display system preference. I'm connecting through the standard white dvi-vga adapter that came with the mini.
    Is there a way to enable other resolutions? I want to run it at 1920 x 1200
    Thanks in advance,

    Thanks for the expertise, its just that I'm buying a 26" Sony Bravia for my bedroom when I save up enough which will serve for my Mac Mini, (via vga), and for my PS3 (via HDMI when it is released). It would be ideal for the Bravia to have a DVI connection of that of a monitor, however I still think that VGA is a sound connection as I have seen in pictures off 123MacMini.com of users having connected that way.

  • Another DP++ to Single-Link DVI-D adapter

    Bought this:
    http://www.ebay.ca/itm/270942887946
    Which is an HP-branded DP++ to single-link DVI-D adapter, manufactured by Foxconn.
    I've used it for a couple hours now on the W520, both via the onboard DP++ port and one on the dock with my LG L204WT 1680x1050 monitor. Appears to work quite well. For the price, it's just about unbeatable when you consider free shipping.
    If you're the type to be impatient with shipping from HK, perhaps best to buy something horrendously overpriced from elsewhere instead

  • How to add a new network interface adapter?

    Hello,
    I followed this tutorial (http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/ovm/ovmel5pvmdb11gr1/ovmel5pvmdb11gr1.htm) to set up a paravirtualized Oracle Enterprise Linux Version 5 VM on Oracle VM Server. It works fine, however I wish to add another network interface adapter (or NIC) to it, however when I try to import into Oracle VM Manager I get the following error:
    "OVM-5004 Invalid virtual machine config file. -"
    I don't know where the vm config file is so I can't fix that (I did a search for vm.cfg but couldn't find it). I figured since I could access the machine OK I wouldn't worry about importing it into VM Manager, so my question is, is there a way to set up the Network Interface Adapter through the command line on the VM Server (similar to how it was setup)? Or should I try and fix the "invalid virtual machine config file" error so I can import it into VM Manager and then add the extra Network Interface Adapter?
    Thanks in advance,
    Michael.

The vm.cfg file would be found in /OVS/running_pool/<vm_name>/ -- the default vm.cfg that ships with the template should successfully import into Oracle VM Manager. Once you have the image imported, you can use Oracle VM Manager to add an additional NIC to the VM.

  • About the JVC KS-PD500 interface Adapter & Zen MicroPhoto

    Hi everybody,
    I have found some info about the JVC KS-PD500 interface Adapter, that is intended to be used between the mp3 Player XA-HD500 (http://www.infosyncworld.com/reviews/n/6374.html) and JVC Car Audio.
    The JVC mp3 player uses Windows media player 0, like the Zen Micro & Microphoto, so I think the adapter could work with our Zen's.
    Anybody could confirm if it works?
    Regards

    My JVC KS-PD100 works fine and charges my old iPhone, I have just upgraded to iPhone 3G but when I plug into my JVC KS-PD100 adapter, it doesn't charge my iPhone 3G any more, is it because of the iPhone 3G hardware change?
    Yes. Original iPhone can use firewire charging; 3G cannot.
    Is there any fix for it? like another adapter in between in the connector to make it charge my iPhone 3G? so that I can listen music in car but don't need to worry about the battery.
    I'd imaging there will be some sort of adapter or dongle or much existing hardware will be obsoleted by this very strange design decision.

  • Mac mini cannot dect view sonic monitor with thunderbolt-to-dvi interface

    Mac mini cannot dect View Sonic VX1035wm display with Thunderbolt port-to-DVI-D interface.

    Hi warlotte,
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, it can be used with the Thunderbolt port on your Mac to connect an external display.
    For more information, see this Frequently Asked Questions document:
    Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ) - Apple Support
    Some Apple computer have a Thunderbolt port instead of a Mini DisplayPort. Computers with a Thunderbolt port will have the following symbol next a port although the port physically appears the same as a Mini DisplayPort:
    Thunderbolt ports:
    Are compatible with all of the Mini DisplayPort adapters referenced below in question 5 and with Apple Mini DisplayPort equipped displays.
    Note that "question 5" mentioned refers to section 5 of the above FAQ, which has a list of Mini DisplayPort adapters that are available from Apple.

  • IMac CD with mini-DVI - Video adapter woes

    I bought a mini-DVI to video adapter when I first got my iMac Core Duo. I never used it, and so a few weeks ago I was distressed to find out that it didn't work. So I ordered another, assuming the cable was the problem. Nope -- this one has the same trouble.
    The problem is that the display is distorted and "rolls" occasionally like the V-Hold is off. There are also two black "bumps" or places where there are waves in the display, one on each side of the TV's tube. The TV itself is a little 20" Orion -- not too new, but not too old either.
    * The TV should be fine, since I've used it with a mini-VGA to Video adapter with my previous Mac, an iBook G4.
    * The cables should be fine, because I've switched them all out and tried different ones.
    * The adapter should be fine, since I ordered another cable and it displays the same thing.
    * The computer should be fine, since I can output to an LCD monitor with my mini-DVI -> VGA just fine and dandy.
    So does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be? I'm really perplexed, and I don't think I'm missing anything obvious. Like I said, I've used a couple of similar cables before without problems, my iMac is otherwise flawless, and so on.

    I reinstalled the OS to see if that solved the problem. It didn't.
    I tried to get an appointment with an Apple Genius, but apparently the Concierge was experiencing a large amount of traffic and could not help me. I don't really understand if I'll be charged for calling tech support (I'm out of the 90-day period, but obviously not out of warranty), so I don't particularly want to drop any money for support on a computer that apparently arrived lacking a significant feature. Unless I'm greatly mistaken, that's also known as DOA...
