Female Mini port to VGA adaptor?

Hey Everyone
I am looking for female Mini port to VGA adaptor, and i wondered if anyone knew if something like this was made?
Thanks for any help or suggestions

Well i have the display hooked up to my MBP, which is all great.
But i want to use the display for my Xbox 360 as well. I have the VGS adapter for the 360, but need an adapter to plug the miniport in to.
Any thoughts on how to solve this?
Thanks for any help BSteely.

    18. What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter?
    The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. VGA displays that use higher refresh rates (such as 85 Hz) at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or greater may not generate video properly until you lower the refresh rate.

    How can I detect displays?
    If the detect displays option is not available, hold down the Option key while you are in the Display pane.
    How do I select additional resolutions on my display?
    You can use the Display pane of System Preferences to specify how your display works. Not all options appear for all display models. By default the best resolution for your display will already be selected in System Preferences.
    To select a different resolution, use the Scaled option. Some additional resolutions may be available when you hold the Option button.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • Can i connect my cintiq 12wx to my Macbook pro 2011 through the thunderbolt using the mini display port to vga adaptor?

    I just bought my cintiq 12wx and was wonderding if i can connect it to my macbook pro 2011 through the thurderbolt using a mini displayport to vga adaptor? Please help!

    Yes, it should work with a mini-displayport to VGA adapter.  Since a 12wx also can take DVI you could use a mini-displayport to DVI adapter instead.  Why go analog when you can keep it in digital!
    I guess the usb is for the pen.

  • Poor colour depth/banding with Apple Mini-DisplayPort-to-VGA adaptor?

    I'm using the Apple Mini Display Port to VGA adaptor to hook my MBP up to a projector in the theatre where I give lectures.
    I am getting colour depth/ banding issues - images seem to be displayed in thousands of colours, rather than millions, creating really bad banding problems.
    I know it isn't an issue with the projector - for comparison purposes I tried playing a DVD through a DVD player connected to the projector, and then through the MBP connected to the projector, and the diference in colour depth was really noticeable. In fact it was virtually unwatchable through the MBP.
    Is there a preference pane I'm missing somewhere which will increase the colour depth?
    Is there a better adaptor than the Apple one that I need to buy?
    Or is this a problem inherent in the minidisplay port to VGA conversion process?
    Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    If your monitor has DVI input, get the DVI adapter. DisplayPort is digital, DVI is digital, but VGA is analog - the signal conversion will result in a (slight) drop in quality.

  • Mac mini with Apple Mini Display to VGA adaptor

    Hello,
    I have just purchased a new i5 mac mini, and have started to use it with an HDMI TV. This is great, but I really want to go back to using just my VGA monitor, which is an LGFlatron W2243S.
    So, today, with the HDMI plugged in, I put a Apple Mini Display Port to VGA adaptor into the back of the mac mini, hooked it up to the monitor and great. The monitor was recognised, and it actually appeared as a second display.
    But then, I pulled out the HDMI lead, and that was the start of the trouble. I now cannot get the LG monitor to work - instead it goes into power saving mode. I have proven the VGA cable, and also noted that the display settings do detect the monitor, but it just keeps going into power saving mode.
    Reading on the internet I've found talk of the power from the mini display port being a possible problem.
    At the moment then, the HDMI is still plugged in. Any advice on any settings I should be using to get the mini display -> VGA adaptor to work with the monitor? It is obviously working in some form (a) because I can't believe apple would continue to sell a dud product and (b) because it did occur briefly as a second monitor.

    I've got some more information which I'm hoping might enable someone somewhere to help!!
    So, I've just connected up the monitor again, with success. Both the HDMI and VGA monitor as mirrorred displays.
    Then, I removed the HDMI connection, and the VGA monitor stayed on. I was also able to change the resolution successfully on the VGA monitor.
    Then I restarted the system. The VGA monitor went into standby and wouldn't wake up from power saving mode (therefore was not able to see the password screen).
    Plugged the HDMI back in (as well as the VGA) and restarted. Password screen came up on the HDMI screen. OS started up as normal, then the VGA screen came back to life on mirrored display.
    So there is some level of success occuring now, except on restart. It seems as once the OS loads, it sends the signal to the VGA to switch on, but not on the password screen. Note that I do not want the HDMI screen connected - just the VGA. It's really a TV and I want to use it elsewhere.
    I also downloaded the DP to VGA firmware update, but even with everything plugged in (and ironically with the VGA on and working!) it says that it cannot find a DP to VGA adaptor!!
    This all suggests to me that things work, but that there's something I'm not quite doing right somewhere. My PC connects to the VGA monitor fine, and comes on at power up.
    Thanks in hope.

  • Which mini DVI to VGA adaptor?

    I have an 800MHz flat screen with a broken display.
    I have an old monitor with a VGA cable, but I can't find the correct cable to connect between the iMac and the VGA plug.
    I have a mini dvi to VGA adaptor, but it's not correct in that the mini DVI end is female on both the computer and the adaptor chord I have ):
    Can someone point me to the correct adaptor cable?
    Thanks,
    Luke

    Hey Luke,
    What you need is the mini VGA to VGA adapter like here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8639G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MzI3MTYx#overvie w
    If you buy it at the Apple store make sure they understand that that's the adapter you need and for what machine you need to use it on. Then if they give you the wrong one you can take it back.
    On a separate tack I had a problem with the socket on a 800 17" that had come off the logic board. Symptom was no video no picture but worked fine with external adapter (mine had to be jiggled a bit to get it to work). I just sent it to Superior Reball to have it resoldered. Cost $51 plus shipping one way. That would take someone knowledgeable to take the iMac apart.

  • No Apple Remote or Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adaptor included with new MacBooks

    Hi!
    I just picked up a new (black) MacBook yesterday from the Apple Retail Store in Meadowhall (Sheffield). I was quite surprised to open the box and find that the Apple Remote and Mini-DVI to VGA adaptor cable are now optional items and no longer included in the package. Okay, they're not expensive (an extra £30.00 to add both of them), but I just thought I'd mention it to let potential customers know.
    I have to say that I'm very pleased at the speed bump and the 250GB hard drive though (you can never have too much space). Also good to have 2GB RAM out of the box (rather than paying an extra £90.00 for the 2GB model). Excellent!

    bford0001 - 15% restocking fee? Did you buy it from an Apple Retail store? I bought a black MacBook from them just under two weeks ago (a 2.2 with 160GB HD and 2GB RAM) and they let me take it back and walk out of the store without charging me anything!
    One other thing I have noticed - why has the L2 cache dropped to 3MB from 4MB? I know the processor is more powerful, but doesn't that mean it would just about level out, because of the reduction? I noticed the same for the £1,299.00 MacBook Pro and that on the other two models, it's gone up to 6MB. Anyone know how this would change the performance?

  • Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptor not Mirroring

    13-inch MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) running 10.8.3
    Monoprice Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptors freeze the system (no issues with Monoprice Mini DisplayPort to DVI connected to monitor) so I tried an Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptor and that works ok, EXCEPT it doesnt automatically mirror to projectors like older models I have used.
    Is the 13-inch MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) supposed to auto mirror when connected to projectors using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptor?
    Thanks for any assistance.

    I havent had a chance to test, yet it looks like if I create the settings for mirroring when the projector is attached to the laptop, the setting should stick moving forward..  I thought it just auto-sensed.  Will try and report back here if there are any changes or to solve the ticket...

  • Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptor : Gateway Monitor FPD1760 - Compatible ?

    Hi. Is the Apple, Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptor compatible with Gateway Monitors?, I own a Gateway FPD1760 (Specs : http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-Gateway-Gateway-Monitor-FPD1760).
    Just wanted to know if I should be going with Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptor or) Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, as I have heard too many complaints about the former.
    Thanks in advance

    If your monitor has DVI input, get the DVI adapter. DisplayPort is digital, DVI is digital, but VGA is analog - the signal conversion will result in a (slight) drop in quality.

  • Using second display via eMac's mini-DVI to VGA adaptor

    Hi,
    I've got a 19inch widescreen display from Acer, model no. AL1916W. I have apple's mini-DVI to VGA adaptor and have connected the second display to the point where it mirrors the screen on my eMac, however I don't want it to do this.
    What I had intended is that the second display would act as an extension of my eMacs screen, so I can drag windows across for extra space. Is this possible with the eMac?
    Put more specifically, I want to be able to put logic's main (arrange) window on the Acer widescreen, and then have whatever else on the eMacs screen? Is there a workaround to do this?
    help much appreciated,
    Toby

    Hi,
    It's funny you should send me that link, I actually found that a couple of hours after posting this and tried it. It worked perfectly, I now have the widescreen running in it's native resolution and working as a separate screen which I can drag stuff in and out of. I came back on here to mark the question as 'answered' but I couldn't find how.
    thanks for your help,

  • Can I use the mini displayport to vga adaptor with the xbox vga cable to connect my xbox 360 to my macbook pro?

    I'm trying to find a way to connect my xbox 360 to my mackbook pro. I've searched the internet and found that I can use a eagle eye device but, its to expensive. So after looking at the xbox website, I found a vga adaptor for my xbox and an vga to mini displayport and I was wondering if this would work.

  • X1 connectivity problem with old VGA beam projector using mini displayport to VGA adaptor.

    Hi all,
    I would like to ask you how to connect this X1 with VGA projector as well.
    actually, X1 has a external interface specification as  mini displayport 1.1a.
    So I bought mini displayport to VGA adapter from MAC store.
    (Actually, Lenovo Korea office doesn’t sell this adapter directly on Korea, even in the future.)
    and try to connect both of LED monitor and beam projector.
    LED monitor was worked as well. but, this adaptor doesn't work with VGA projector. TT
    Please help me how to work this adaptor with projector as well.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi everybody. I was having the same issue here, but I bought a Mac minidisplayport to VGA adapter. It worked on my Monitor but it was not working on my clients VGA beam projectors. But today I figured out a way to make it work, and it is pretty easy; just change your laptop screen resolution.
    When you connect the mini Dport to VGA adapter to the projector VGA receiver cable, just change your laptop screen resolution to 1024x768 (maximum) and the projector will receive the signal with no problem.
    This is the best solution that I found, because is easy to find a Mac/Apple Mini display Port to VGA adapter.
    Hope this works for you too.
    Regards,
    J.

  • HT1338 cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector  -does not detect and 2nd monitor. I have a new Mini port to VGA cable made by apple. When I read online I see that many people have the same problem - Is this an Apple defect??????????????????

    I cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector - It will not detect a 2nd monitor or display. I am using an Apple made Mini Display port to VGA adapter. As I read online I see that many other peple are having the same problem. Is this an Apple defect!!???? If so it just burst the bubble about how great macs are. I never had a problem with that on a PC. I hope I am wrong. What can you tell me?

    Hi There,
    I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
    The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
    I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
    Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
    Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
    There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.
