Griffin's Pro Speaker Breakout Cable compatible with the iMac G5?? HELP!

I would love any suggestions anyone has as to making Griffin's Pro Speaker Breakout Cable compatible with the iMac G5.
I just made the very foolish mistake of purchasing Griffin's Pro Speaker Breakout Cable for my iMac G5, which I am sure others, more up to speed on their apple products, realize are not compatible. The Pro Speaker Breakout Cable, as its name would suggest, connects to the Apple Pro Speakers Minijack available in G4s and G3s.
I need someway to connect this Apple Pro Mini plug (2.5mm plug) to my audio-out 3.5mm output jack on my iMac. I have found this connector http://www.mpja.com/productview.asp?product=11298+AD but I am not sure if the 2.5mm Apple jack is the same as other 2.5mm jacks. Does anyone know if the two are compatible???
I guess the other option is the iFire - or, conversely, to just forget the whole thing and get some new speakers.
Any suggestions on the best/ most cost effective option would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Forgive me for not being specific enough. I do not want to connect apple pro speakers. I want to connect my household speakers via the Pro Speaker Breakout Cable http://www.griffintechnology.com/archive/audio/prospeaker.html to my iMac. However, I did not realize that the breakout cable connected to the obsolete Apple Pro Speaker Minijack 2.5mm.
Basically, I am just looking for the most cost effective method to get suitable sound from my computer. The threee options I am considering are:
a) 2.5mm jack to 3.5mm plug converter allowing my breakout cable to fit into my audio input (which I am not sure will work - as I am not sure if the Apple minijack is a standard 2.5mm)
b) get the iFire, plug my breakout cable into the iFire and then to my computer.
c) get a different sound system entirely.
I am really looking for any advice as to which would be best.

    My MacBook Pro Core Duo from 2006 shuts down randomly requiring frequent reboots to the point I had to abandon doing any project or anything on this MacBook Pro. Same thing occurs with the iMac dual core from 2007. MacBook battery replaced. Is it internal battery for both, new logic board required, bad hard drive, or bad RAM?
    Help.

    Run an Apple Hardware Test using the original installation disk that has the AHT instructions on it.
    Try SMC and PRAM resets:

  • What audio interfaces are compatible with the iMac/Intel computer?

    I see that MOTU has Intel-compatible drivers for its high-end audio interfaces. Are there any other audio interfaces--USB or Firewire--that are at present compatible with the Intel Duo Core machines that are under $300? I've checked with Tascam and Presonus, and theirs are not yet compatible. I have an inquiry in to M-Audio, but haven't heard back yet.
    PS: Does anyone else think it is just a teensy bit dishonest of Apple to be selling audio interfaces in its online store without pointing out explicitly that they don't work on the Intel machines?

    Well, it looks like M-Audio's Firewire Solo has a beta driver available for the Duo Core. Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. And it's well under $200 at a couple online stores.

  • Is there a negative scanner that is compatible with the iMac?

    i have a ton of photo negatives that i would like to scan into iphoto, but everything i have seen is only compatible with a pc.  doesn't apple have something available for this?  if not, make one SOON!

    Several come up when I do a Google search on:
    negative scanner mac os

    Most would probably work.  Scanner tend to support the TWAIN interface which Mac OS suppports. You would not get any of the software on the disc.

  • What DVD drives are compatible with the iMac G4 17 1ghz?

    I need a new CD drive that can at least play DVD movies. I do not want to pay the large sum of money just because it's an apple brand, I know there are some compatible drives out there.

    All optical drives are DVD capable these days.

  • Print Studio Pro plugin is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 Editor for Mac

    It appears that the latest version of Print Studio Pro PlugIn is not compatible with the Editor version of Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac as available on the App store.  The install gives an error saying that it did not find a supported version of Photoshop Elements. This error has been reported before for Elements version 12 but was reportedly fixed in the latest version of Print Studio Pro. Now it appears that this version may support Elements 12 for Mac but not the Editor only version from the app store. Any suggestions for work-around on this?

    "Any suggestions for work-around on this?"
    No! 
    Not untill Mac and Adobe and Canon get their collective acts together.  Mac (Apple) has the bad habit of upgrading their stuff and not being forthcoming with the particulars given to 3rd party companies like Canon and Adobe.
    Besides the cost difference of Mac's the compatibility issues are it's worst features.

  • ITunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone

    I backed up entire iPhone5c iOS8 to my Windows 7 with iTunes latest, and now at the restore I am receiving a massage:
    "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone"
    Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Had the exact same problem whilst upgrading my iphone 4 to ios5. Lost all my data.
    Backed up ios 4.3 (8F190) iphone4. Upgraded to ios 5.1 (9B176), and then tried to restore.
    No joy, repeated the restore attempts countless times - lost all my data
    Tried again with a simulated test.
    Created a new itunes account on a new PC (64-bit windows 7), latest itunes(10.6.1.7- 64 bit).
    As my data is toast, I'm using the ios 5.1 phone to try to see if it was me or an apple bug, or something elsewhich caused this to happen.
    After quite a few more hours at it, it looks like a bug in iTunes / ios. I would be very happy to be wrong, though.
    Tried repeatedly restoring an ios 4.3 backup to 5.1 - no joy.
    Happy to try again - it does restore partially (got the call register transferred, but no SMS'es or anything else).
    Any ideas?

  • Speaker Docks 100% Compatible With iPhone 3G?

    Are there ANY speaker docks that are truly 100% compatible with the iPhone 3G? Speaker docks that will charge the iPhone 3G WITHOUT a USB connection, won't keep offering to put the iPhone 3G in Airplane mode, and will play music without any interference from the iPhone's cell radio?
    If you know of any, please list them in your reply. I haven't found any yet.

    I occasionally get that message with a standard iPhone usb cable -- the once that came with my 3GS. This could be due to debris in the connectors: It would not take much to make for a bad connection.
    You might want to try cleaning them by using a clean dry toothbrush.

  • Ibook 500mhz AV cable its compatible with the iPod AV cable?

    Last Sunday i've found an old cable from my old ibook 500mhz: http://www.mac-pro.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.114/it.A/id.1383/.f
    Do you think it will be compatible with the ipod video that im waiting? (yes, because im from portugal and need to wait a lot for all the new mac products...)
    the jeck 3.5 connection seems very similar.
    Thanks a lot.

    No the jack is wired differently :

    If you are prepared to cannibalise the cable you can get it to work but it's not as tidy as the Apple supplied cable.
    Generic A/V cables may work if you get the RCAs in the right place, e.g. cables suitable for Sony camcorders work if you swap the Video (Yellow) and Right Audio (Red).
    I think that's what the previous poster was referring to.

  • CanoScan 9000F scanner won't work on my MacBook Pro even though it should be compatible with the Mac 10.7.2 OS.

    My new CanoScan 900F scanner won't work on my MacBook Pro even though I've followed all instructions to make it compatible with the 10.7.2 OS. The USB connection isn't recognised. What else con I do?

    I have a similar problem with a new CanoScan 9000F which I tried to use without any success on my desktop computer (Mac Pro 5,1) and laptop (Macbook Pro 1,2) both running OS 10.6. Problem is identical on both, viz:
        •    Scanning process appears to start, a message comes on the screen: Scanning do not open document cover followed by Scanning...
        •    This is then replaced by the message: Cannot communicate with scanner. Cable may be disconnected or scanner may be turned off. Check status. Scanner driver will be closed. 2.155.33
    I've spent several hours on the phone with Canon support but having uninstalled/installed/reinstalled/updated/turned on/turned off/unplugged/plugged/restarted innumerable times, the problem is exactly the same. The scanner icon shows up in the Printer & Fax System Prefs (though without the little status lights) and shows as being connected in the USB tree. I think it's a problem with the scanner, Canon bods are suggesting the Macs are at fault and suggest I try connecting to a wintel (hawk, spit) and it's 100km to the nearest Canon service centre.
    Any suggestions as to what might be the problem/s and what I might be able to do to fix it/them?
    Thanks.
    By the way, bought the Canon to replace a HP Scanjet 8300 which I've used for 6 years almost without problems. Any that I have had have been fixed merely by turning the scanner off then on after a 10 second rest.

  • Creative Zen-is it compatible with the Griffin Player pa

    Looking for info on accessories. I was at Circuit City, and they have a Griffin Player Pack, which includes an fm transmitter with charging capablities, and a house charger (it also has a california roll for storing, and an audio in cord). It doesn't say specifically if this is compatible with the Creative Zen, and the guy behind the counter had never even seen the Zen before. Has anyone tried these? Also, is there a difference in fm transmitters? Are the more expensi've ones any better than the cheap ones? Thanks for any help!

    Is your source very large in the number of files to transfer
    - It's just mp3 files (about 200 CD's ripped to mp3 files)For small sources (music) you can manually build and drag your MP3 files to your manually built folders.
    - Do you mean it's possible to create folders on the Creative ZEN itself Is your source in MP3 format NON DRM protected music - I do not know what "NON DRM protected music" means Do you have a link to download the manual for the Creative ZEN Message Edited by larshgf on 04-5-2008 02:24 PM
