  • Mini display port to DVI not working

    The mini display port of my late 2009 27" iMac is not working with DVI.  Using the same monitor, DVI cable, and mini display to DVI adapter, I can connect my Air with no problems.  So the monitor, adapter, and cable are fine.  I can also connect my iMac to the same monitor using a VGA cable and a mini display to VGA adapter.  So the problem clearly seems to be with my iMac.  Has anyone had similar problems?  Any advice?  I think the image quality of DVI is substantially better than VGA so I really would like to get this working.  But I don't think the difference is worth carrying my 27" monster into the Apple Store. I could buy a mini display to HDMI adapter, but I would rather not buy yet another adapter (I think I have about 15 already with my various idevices) - and it might not work either. The DVI setup is simple and really should be working.  I bought a monitor and also a HD TV with DVI ports specifically for this.  Thanks.

    Hello,
    Using the VGA connector, what resolution is set on the Monitor?
    Is there any input choices on the Monitor for port or source?

  • Mini DisplayPort to DVI not working, No Multi-Monitor, Jerky Mouse

    I have an iMac, 27 inch, 2009 model.
    Until today I've had a second monitor attached via the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. The monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster T260. This setup has worked perfectly well so far.
    Until today that is. Now the monitor is not recognised any more and if I try to select "Detect Displays" the mouse pointer hangs every few seconds - stops dead and then restarts again.
    What did I do to make this happen? Nothing (that i'm aware of). Haven't installed anything, not done a software update, just literally rebooted and it's not working anymore.
    _*Things that still work...*_
    The Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter works on a Mac Mini, so that's OK
    The DVI cable works fine when plugged into a PC or Mac Mini, so that's OK
    The Monitor works fine when plugged into a PC or Mac Mini, via DVI, HDMI or VGA, so that's OK
    So I've established that, in isolation, each part of the system is functioning perfectly well.
    *_Things I have tried - without success..._*
    1) Rebooting - both iMac and monitor
    2) Unplugging all cables and reconnecting then rebooting again
    3) Clearing the PRAM - done it twice just to make sure
    4) Updated to OS X 10.6.7
    5) Reset the SMC
    6) Deleted the com.apple.windowserver.plist files at /Library and ~/Library
    7) Googled for solutions - plenty of people seem to have one or the other of these symptoms...
    Can anyone shed any light on what's happened here ? Please help!
    Cheers
    Mart
    ** Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I just found a forum specifically for the iMac so posted it there but not sure how to delete this one. **

    Well, it would be interesting if that's when it had occurred. At the time, I hadn't installed 10.6.7, and hadn't installed anything immediately prior to the problem occurring.
    It doesn't seem like there's any way (a-la System Files Checker on Windows) of checking the integrity of system files which may have been corrupted, nor a way of reinstalling any update in the case of this happening - or is there a way of doing this? You don't seem to have any control over updates apart from applying them - if something does go wrong, there's no way of backing out. I guess Time Machine is the answer to my own question there.
    I'm happy that it's working now, but it was a pretty extreme fix to have to wipe the entire system. At least it wasn't a hardware issue, I'll be thankful for that!

  • Minidisplay to duallink dvi not working

    i'm having trouble getting my new mac mini to provide full resolution to my existing dell u2711 monitor. i purchased the minidisplay to dual link dvi connector (for $100!!) and it still isn't working. i've tried all the trouble-shooting suggestions and still it won't work properly. it's totally crunchy at 2560x1440. i know the monitor works as it's also hooked up to a pc that resolves to 2560x1440. and i know the mac monitor is the same resolution, so i'm not sure what to do. any suggestions would be most appreciated. thanks.

    I've got a similar situation. Mini DisplayPort -> VGA adapter works fine. DisplayPort -> DVI fails to see ViewSonic monitor completely.
    On the assumption that it was a fault with the adapter, Apple sent a replacement mini displayport to DVI adapter -- which also fails.
    The monitor and monitor's DVI cable work fine with an older PowerBook 17 using the previous generation of adapter.
    The monitor clearly sees no input on the DVI cable, and the monitor does not show up in the displays system pref pane regardless of how many times you "detect displays".

  • MiniDisplay to DVI not working

    I connected my projector to my MacBook Pro via Apple's MiniDisplay-to-DVI adapter. The screen flickers (turns blue for a sec) but the external display is not recognized. It tried 3 different adapters/cables combination, but no avail.
    My projector is working fine. I tried connecting my DVD player via the same DVI connection (on the projector) and it works fine. Also, when I use the MiniDisplay-to-VGA adapter and connect MacBook to the projector (VGA input), everything works fine.
    Any ideas?

  • DVI not working but VGA is on 7300GT on Mac Pro

    I ran into an odd issue where upon starting up Mac Pro, my second 7300 GT Card was not outputting video to monitors 2 & 3. They were connected to my 2 ViewSonic 2025 LCD's. The stock video card worked fine. I powered down the Mac and still no joy after resetting PRAM and re-seating the card. Next I tried using DVI to VGA adapter and plugging into the ViewSonics VGA ports and this worked fine. I'm stumped-any ideas? Could it be the displays? If so, it seems odd that both LCD's would do it at the same time.

    You say monitors two and three, do you have two video cards or are you splitting a signal?

  • T500 DispalyPort to DVI not working?

    I recently bought a DisplayPort to DVI adapter for my T500 so i could use my monitor, however the mointor isn't being detected i nthe control panel. It worked earlier using VGA, but it won't detect it this way. Is this a Windows 7 problem or a T500 problem?

    Bump.... Can somebody PLEASE help?

  • [VIA] MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU and a MSI FX5900XT 128MB DDR Video Card

    Does any body out there know if a MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU and a MSI FX5900XT 128MB DDR Video Card will work well together?

      like the grayone say, is true. for more ensure, try and search the graphic cards support list for your board at MSI (Sorry cause i don,t no is  where the site located)
      in my opinion, most is compability for your card, when is a AGP slot.
      Except the new one like the AGP slot, call AGR( Accelaration Graphic Riser slot) that really need to find a compatibility graphic cards.....

  • G4 / Samsung 206BW  LCD : stretched only, non extended not working

    Hi,
    I have a Samsung Syncmaster 206BW (22" wide, 1680*1050 native resolution) plugged on my MDD G4 with DVI (not working with VGA because the Radeon 9000 Pro only manages 4/3 modes in analog).
    In the monitors panel settings in OSX (Tiger and Leopard) i see two modes for some resolutions : for example 1024*768 and 1024*768 (extended). However with the two modes the image is stretched to fit the screen. The first (not extented) should add black pixels to around the centered image, and it does'nt work.
    So i can't use games in 1024*768 or other 4/3 low res (my G4 can't use the native resolution for games, too much resource heavy).
    I tried turning on the monitor after the mac but it is the same, tu non extended mode is managed the same way as the extended mode (stretched).
    Is there an utility for mac (as Catalyst Control Center on PCs) to force the monitor to accept unstretched mode ? There isn't any mode setting on the LCD settings. Some say this is a known problem with Samsung LCDs.
    Should i return it and buy another LCD ? It this the same with Apple LCD displays ?
    I use a Belkin 3m DVI-D wire on both sides.
    Thank by advance.

    Hi,
    I can see and use the 1680*1050, in fact this is the only resolution mode that works ok since start. My problem is that i can't play any game in that resolution (99% mac games don't support wide, and even if this would work it would be recent games, and my Radeon 9000 Pro wouldn't support them - or it would be unplayable due to the high resolution leading to very poor fps).
    I can't see the ratio settigns in DisplayConfigX (should be here as in the utility screenshot on the site), the only settings i can use are porch values and "Synchronisation" instead of "Extended" ("Manual" is not available). There is very few documentation for that utility and settings calculations seem very complex.
    I see that on Windows users have to use Catalyst Control Center to switch from wide aspect to 4/3 aspect (that is 4/3 centered image with black areas surrounding it). This is the only way to play old games, or recent games with low resolution, and with correct aspect (for now the image is stretched to fit the whole screen, so not proportionnally, not 4/3).
    Some say that the graphic card driver manages to add black pixels around the centered image in the pixels map sent through DVI to the screen, when non extended mode is selected. It seems there is a problem in OSX, or in the Radeon 9000 Pro driver, or in the card itself.
    Can i be assured the problem can be solved from the computer side ? In the other cas i must return the LCD to the store in less than two weeks... but they don't have interesting 19" LCD to replace it (stretching would lead at least to a correct ration from 1204*768 to 1280*1024, and the stretching is not so bad on the Samsung, ration problem appart).
    Should i add a new entry through DisplayConfigX : 1024*768 Synchronisation in addition to the 1024*768 Extended, to see if that work ?
    Where did OSX retrieve the second mode, 1024*768 (that is non extended), that doesn't work (same result as 1024*768 (Extended)) ? I saw somewhere that there is a display config system file in System/Library (the one DisplayConfigX edits to add/modify listed modes, and the one we must delete if the screen doesn't work after making settings - in Single user mode or with an other screen, my old CRT for example).

  • DVI to Video Adapter with NVIDIA 8800 GT not working

    Hi all. I have the new Mac Pro Octo (mar '08) with the NVIDIA GFORCE 8800 GT card. I cannot find anywhere what may be wrong. Only on the Apple Website for the adapter that the only Mac Pro it works with is the Mac Pro (with ATI X1900 XT). However, both tech support and Apple's Store staff said this would work, prior to buying it. Well, my computer does not recognize the TV monitor hooked up via S-Video. I've powered everything down, restarted, unplugged and replugged in both orders, and switched inputs on the TV and receiver both. Nothing.
    Any one know if this does or does not work with this computer???
    Thanks.

    Never mind. Found this out via Apples own website. Thanks APPLE TECH SUPPORT and STORE STAFF for getting me to buy a useless cable!
    Mac Pro Computers (January 2008)
    The Mac Pro computers with Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5400 Series microprocessors were introduced in January 2008. The Mac Pro’s graphics subsystem interfaces to the North Bridge via a 16-lane PCIe 2.0 bus. For information on the PCI Express graphics support and expansion, refer to PCI Developer Note.
    The following sections describe the Mac Pro’s graphics subsystem.
    Graphics Cards
    Supported graphics cards have dual-link DVI connectors, supporting 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Displays on both ports.
    For information on video memory, power, and features refer to Table 1.
    All of the supported graphics cards support dual displays in either extended desktop or video mirroring mode; for more detail, see “External Display Modes.”
    Table 1 Supported Graphics Cards

    The GeForce 8800GT graphics card requires that a booster cable be connected from the PCI slot to the auxiliary power connector. The Quadro FX 5600 graphics card requires two booster cables be connected from the PCI slot to the auxiliary power connector. For additional information, refer to the PCI Developer Note.
    The Mac Pro supports the 20-inch Apple Cinema Display at a resolution of 1680 x 1050, the 23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display at a resolution of 1920 x 1200, and the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display at a resolution of 2560 x 1600.

    Video Monitor Ports
    The Mac Pro has a DVI connector for an external video monitor. For a description of the DVI connector, refer to Figure 4 and Table 30.
    The graphics data sent to the digital monitor use transition minimized differential signaling (TMDS). TMDS uses an encoding algorithm to convert bytes of graphics data into characters that are transition-minimized to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) with copper cables and DC balanced for transmission over fiber optic cables. The TMDS algorithm also provides robust clock recovery for greater skew tolerance with longer cables or low-cost short cables.
    Note: The Mac Pro computer includes a DVI to VGA Adapter.
    DVI to Video Adapter
    The Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics card supports an optional DVI to S-video/composite adapter that provides S-video and composite output to a PAL or NTSC video monitor or VCR. When a display is connected by way of the video adapter, the computer detects the type of adapter and enables the composite and S-video outputs. The settings for the resolutions and standards (NTSC or PAL) are then selectable in the Display pane in System Preferences.
    Note: The DVI to Video Adapter does not come packaged with the Mac Pro computer and must be purchased separately.
    The video output connector is a 7-pin S-video connector. Figure 5 shows the arrangement of the pins and Table 31 shows the pin assignments on the composite out and S-video connector.
    The Mac Pro computer provides video output at picture sizes and frame rates compatible with the NTSC and PAL standards; the picture sizes are listed in Table 32. Those picture sizes produce under-scanned displays on standard monitors.

  • DVI to Video Adapter Not Working...

    Hi,
    I bought this thingy to view video from my Dual 2 Ghz PowerPC G5 on a Panasonic HDTV, using one of its s-video inputs. The video is blank when I switch to that input. I tried using the "Detect Displays" in the Displays preference panel. I do get a picture, but it's heavily distorted no matter what resolution I've tried - it's treated as a VGA display. Composite output from the adapter does not work at all.
    The video card is a NVIDIA GeForce 6600LE (came with the computer - two DVI outputs). Apple claims this adapter works on Power Mac G5 with DVI port, but I don't think it does. I also tried hooking it up to a VCR as Apple claims you can do, but no luck there either.
    Any advice or alternatives outside of Apple TV appreciated.

    Thanks for the technical information. That was very helpful. I took the adapter to my local Apple Store (even tho I didn 't buy it there) and asked them to test it, but they couldn't get to for a couple of hours. But, they gladly gave me a new one to try at no charge.
    As before, I plugged it into port 2 of the graphics card with an s-video cable to the tv. No success - except the picture was completely blank on the TV instead of distorted like before. Port 1 was occupied with a VGA monitor. I shut down the computer, TV, and unplugged both ports. I then moved the adapter from port 2 to port 1 and left port 2 open, meaning the VGA monitor wasn't connected to the graphics card at all.
    I turned the TV back on and restarted the computer. Lo and behold - after the booting process was done, my desktop appeared on the TV. I shut down the computer again and reconnected the VGA monitor. Ta-dah! - I now have dual monitors.
    As a further test, I hooked up the s-video from the adapter to my DVD recorder and recorded the video output from a full screen QT video to its built-in hard drive. That was successful as well. The only problem is that there is a minimal black border around the video since I was not able to pick a resolution for the TV that fills the entire screen. I may need to play with TV's aspect settings to get rid of the border, or crop it out later.
    All that's left is to capture the audio and sync it with the video, then output to my format of choice. There's my fair use copy. The quality of the video won't be as good as the original, but what the heck - I'm the only one using it anyway.
    Apple should find a way to convince TV and movie studios to sell their stuff on iTunes Store without DRM, at a higher price - like EMI is doing with their music. I would gladly pay the difference just so I could convert and burn my videos to DVD with iDVD or DVD Studio Pro.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected

    My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected. If get the blue screen and then can use the macbook but nothing is displayed on the TV. If i go into display I can see that there are two screens but nothing displayed on the TV. If i take the power cable out at this point the TV shows the second desktop as expected. If i then reconnect the cable, the screen flickers, as though it is being affected by the power cable, and the screen goes blank on the TV. Only if i remove the DVI cable do i get the blue screen again. If i remove the power cable and reconnect it will do it every single time, so i cannot see it being a TV issue or a minor glitch.
    I have had this working previously but at the minute it seems to not be playing ball....any thoughts
    Thanks

  • Help! DVI to Video adapter not working!

    Hello,
    I bought a brand new DVI to video adapter and it's not working. I plug it in and it shows the start-up screen, but it's split screen and it's in black and white. Then, it goes into the black and white lines, not showing what's coming out of the computer at all. I've tried doing this on three separate TV's and none work. Can anyone help?

    Can you give us your video card specs and the link to the product you are using.

  • Mini Display port DVI adapter not working on Thunderbolt Port

    For some time I've been using a mini display port to DVI adapter on an slightly older MBP to connect to my HD TV.  I recently purchased a MBP with a Thunderbolt port and when I try to connect it to my TV via my mini-display-port-DVI adapter things are not working properly.  The MBP is seeing the Philips TV but it isn't listing all the display modes and I'm not able to send any video to it.  Does the Thunderbolt port require a new display port to DVI adapter?

    Let me be clearer; I've got the MDP-DVI adapter connected to a cable that is DVI on one end and HDMI on the other.  I've got both laptops so I can compare side by side.  I plug in the MDP-DVI adapter to the old laptop and all works well; I plug it into the new laptop and while the laptop does see the TV, the display modes for it are all 1080p which is wrong I don't see any desktop image on the TV unlike when I plug it into the older laptop.  This is very disappointing as I expect things to just work with Apple products.
