Hook iBookG4 so TV is monitor & hook up separate keyboard

I need to know a cheap way to hook iBookG4 so TV is monitor & hook up a keyboard so iBook is a distance away from me

...you'll need the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter.
I think that was a slip of the tongue since the iBook does not have a mini-DVI output.
The corresponding mini-VGA adapter, which will work, is the Apple Video Adapter (M9109G/A).

    Hello redheadjennieo,
    I'm not sure Apple is going to write drivers for a Windows Operating System, so we may have to rely on the generic drivers.
    What model pavilion do you have?
    What operating system?
    Does the monitor say anything on the screen when it's connected to the computer and you turn it? (e.g. signal out of range, no input, etc)

  • Dual Monitor Hook-up, DVI/VGA/HDMI?

    I think it's time to retire my aging samsung 22" and buy a few 23" LED's to replace it.
    My graphics card only has DVI out (x2), and the 3 monitors I'm looking at do not have dual DVI (either dual HDMI and DVI, or DVI/VGA/HDMI), so I would need adapters from DVI to HDMI/VGA. I'm guessing that's all handled at the adapter/hardware level, so linux should have no problem finding them, but if I'm hooking 1 up natively to DVI, and the other through an adapter (or both through adapters), will I notice any quality difference between the 2 monitors?

    Personally I use my HDMI monitor as my main monitor and have the secondary monitor attatched to VGA. I can't really tell the difference in performance between the two, however I never work with anything terribly graphics intensive.
    and it hurts to hear that my Samsung 22" is also  'aging'  of course so is my 17" secondary I guess maybe that'll be my next investment...
    Sorry about the aging comment
    But this is the answer I was looking for! I don't want to have 1 monitor hooked up via HDMI and the other VGA and be able to see a noticeable difference between the 2. I don't do anything graphics intensive either.
    Thanks for all the responses!

  • What connects do I need to hook up a 2nd LCD monitor to my p7-1380t HP computer?

    My current monitor is a Samsung Starlight LCD monitor hooked up to my p7--1380t (approx 23 inches).  I want to set up a 2nd monitor which is a DELL LCD (unable to find monitor model #).
    Can you advise me which ports to use on the back of my computer and which cable type I should get for the Dell monitor?

    Okrafarmboy, welcome to the forum.
    We don't have information on Dell monitors.  However, I believe that it will be either VGA or DVI (D or I).  It depends on the age of the monitor.
    Here is a guide to help you connect the two monitors to the computer.

  • What do I need to hook up an external DVI monitor to Thunderbolt?

    I want to hook up an external DVI monitor to my new iMac.
    It has a thunderbolt connection.
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Mini-DisplayPort-Adapter-MB570Z/dp/B001IF5YLQ/ref=sr _1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1309558497&sr=8-1
    Is the above link what I would be looking for? I notice this is for "Mini DisplayPort" and not Thunderbolt?
    Just a little confused Thanks.

    You are quite correct.  That's the device you need.  Take a look at your plug and the plug in Amazon's picture for a final check.  If that looks good, click "buy"!
    ThunderBolt supports "mini display port". 
    Since adapters have been around for a while, they typically don't say anything about ThunderBolt - it's too new.  They talk about "mini display port" only.

  • Can iPad Air be hooked up to AOC desktop monitor? How? We have older person in home needs larger screen. Thanks.

    Can iPad Air be hooked up to AOC desktop monitor? How? We have older person in home needs larger screen. Thanks.

    YYou can connect with the cables listed above or with an Apple TV device. Keep in mind that and ipad is what it is and was made to be used as it is. I can tell you first hand that what you are trying to do will likely not be of assistance since the ipad is still required as the user interface. Connecting to a larger display maybe fine for watching movies if that's what you have in mind but for overall use the ipad will still have to be used and thus looked at to type and touch. Even with a bt keyboard there are still to many limitations That only a mouse can solve along with a keyboard and display.
    All said, you may be better off looking into, and perhaps using along with the bigger screen, some of the features that can be found in (general-text size) and (general accessibility) settings. Other then that, if you are not mindset on the ipad experience, there are other products on the market that are better suited and more affordable. I have provided care for my mother in law from here 80's to mid 90's. Been there, done that.

    My iMac (2007) keeps shutting off when in Full Screen mode (DVD, iTunes Visualizer, etc.) This only happens when I have an external monitor hooked up HDMI. Help?

    Try using another connection such as VGA or DVI to see if the problem repeats itself.

  • Shockwave Flash crashes when hooked up to an external monitor

    Hi,
    I believe I have finally pinpointed a problem with my Adobe Schockwave Flash plug-in. When I am hooked up to my external monitor and use my flash player, I receive a message saying:
    "The following plug-in has crashed: Adobe Shockwave Flash"
    I have no idea why this is; I have thoroughly searched for a solution to no avail.
    My computer:
    Alienware M11x R3
    Windows 7 Standard 64-bit
    Flash Version: WIN 11,0,1,152
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M
    Google Chrome 14.0.835.202m
    My Monitor:
    Alienware 2210
    --The driver software for this is up to date.
    The stranger thing is, it only crashes on Google Chrome. It doesn't crash on Internet Explorer, I do not know what kind of an issue. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? I can give any additional information if needed.
    Thanks,
    -Chris

    Have the same problem. It happens only with the new plugin in Chrome :

  • Sony Monitor hooked to a Thunderbolt display

    Has anyone hooked a Sony SDM-P234 monitor to a Thunderbolt display?

    I didn't suggest using a VGA adapter because I never suggest using an analog interface when a digital interface is available.
    But given that you have the vga adapter did you see an Arrangement tab in the Displays system preferences?  If not try clicking Detect Displays and make sure the TB plug is pushed firmly in so that essentially all the metal part disappears inside the socket. 
    If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the other screen's Displays preferences on to your main screen.  Set the proper resolution.  Set the refresh rate if that preference is shown.  Hopefully you should see a picture at this point.

  • Hooking Up An external 15" Monitor To iBookG4

    Folks, I would like to find out anyone's experience who has hooked up an external monitor, 3rd party like NEC, LG, Sony, etc, mainly an LCD and how it worked out. I am thinking of a 17". Will I get a better display from the VRAM in the iBook? The iBook display is not enough quality to do higher end photography and retouching. Will the external just look like what comes through the iBook or will there be significant improvement in color, resolution, etc. Please let us know your opinions and experience. Also, what about special adapters to hook it up. Thanks steveb

    This is a limiting 'feature' of iBooks. In order to define between the standard and pro notebooks (powerbooks), the ibooks were limited in software to only be able to mirror the display of the notebook. This means a maximim resolution of 1024 x 768 and no extension of the desktop.
    This patch fixes it all:

  • External monitor hooked to laptop keeps going "dark"

    The screen on my laptop cracked and so I have hooked it up to an external monitor HP 2009m via VGA.  Laptop is HP Pavillion dv6 with Win7 home premium with all current updates.  After I have been working for about 30 minutes, the monitor keeps going off and I have to hit the power button which usually brings it back, but sometimes I also have to use the source button to cycle back to an active monitor.  The "power lockout" shows up occasionally and sometimes it just refuses to stay on for more than 30 seconds.  I have used the factory reset, have held the power button for 15-30 seconds and unplugged it but it still keeps happening.  I have disabled OSD and sleep and everything else I can think of.  Starting to suspect it is something coming from the laptop, have never seen anything like this and scoured forums for simliar problems/solutions (hence the holding power and factor reset items I have already tried).  I am starting to suspect it might be Netflix, although this seems odd, but it definitely happens more often if I am listening to Netflix in the background. 
    Anyway, I will reboot and it will be ok for awhile.  Actually, until I start watching netflix again.  Any other ideas?  Driving me insane.  Can I just get the monitor on my laptop fixed replaced?  Thanks in advance for any ideas. 

    you can check in power option and monitor options too
    >> start menu >> control panel >> Power options
    you will see the list on the left column and you will find monitor options

  • Monitor hook up for Mimi

    I recently purchased a Mac Mini Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHZ (mid 2010) MC270LL/A. I have an LG Flatron W2040 monitor. Can anyone tell me
    what sort of connector I need to get to hook this monitor to the mini?
    Thanks,
    Jackie

    IIIaass is spot on.
    I have dual LG Flatron S22B310 monitors connected to my 2010 Mac Mini.
    One is connected using the Apple supplied HDMI to DVI adapter and a DVI cable.
    The second is connected using a Kanex Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter and a DVI cable.
    Addtitionally I tried several different Apple branded MiniDisplay Port to DVI adapters and they worked fine using a single monitor, but would not work in the dual montor configuration.

  • Monitor Hook-up

    I am a children's pastor and recently got a new macbook pro. I would like to hook it up to two tv monitors to play my music on. I don't know much about sound equipment, but need to know how to run my videos from the laptop to the two tvs. I have gotten some other opinions, from non Mac users, so i wanted a more educated one! Thanks for your time and input.
    God Bless
    Rachel King

    Hi Rachel
    If the TV supports HDMI then you can use this type of cable http://store.apple.com/us/product/TL952LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=Mjc2Mjg
    You will need to use a headphone pin to 2xRCA for sound, (this can also be plugged into the tv). The DVI-HDMI cable only supports video transfer.
    Hope this helps

  • Dual Monitor Hook-up

    I have a Dual 2.0 Powermac G5 and I was wondering if it is possible to hook-up two of the old style plastic Apple LCD displays?
    I have one 17" Apple LCD hooked-up right now with a DVI to ADC connector. How do I hook-up a second?

    I believe it has a NVIDIA Ge Force 6800 or a ATI Radeon 9600. On the back of the G5 is two DVI ports. One of them has the DVI to ADC adapter plugged into it, which has my old 17" Apple LCD display hooked-up to it. The other DVI port is empty. Do I have to buy another DVI to ADC adapter to hook-up another old Apple LCD?
