Hooking up monitor to I book

I have an I book G3 that I want to get a flat screen monitor hooked to.
The I book has VGA and S Video output capability, so apple told me that it would not work with the current apple monitors and get a third party monitor.
The apple store recommended this monitor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254035&cmsp=DailyDeal-_-24-254-035--Product , which has the following connectivity
Connectivity
Input Video Compatibility Analog RGB, Digital
Connectors D-Sub, DVI-D
D-Sub 1
DVI 1
HDMI No
Am I correct in assuming that because there is no VGA input listed, that this wont work?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks much
Bob

Input Video Compatibility Analog RGB sometimes is simply VGA. Double check with the manufacturer of the monitor.

Hook two monitors to MacBook Pro

I'm new to this posting questions so please bare with me if you have seen my post before.
I've have posted this question twice but can't find either post to see if someone has responded.
I recently bought a MBP with 1 Firewire800 port; 1 Thunderbolt port; 2 USB3 ports.
I want to hook two monitors to the MBP and I have been looking at the Belkin hub that has 1Firewire800 port; 2 Thunderbolt ports; 3 USB3 ports.
I want to know of I can connect my MBP via the Firewire800 port to the Belkin hub Firewire800 port? That would leave on the Belkin hub 2 Thunderbolt ports to hook up the two external monitors.
I also have a printer; scanner; DYMO label maker; 2 External Hard drives; keyboard - so I will need the USB3 ports.

How do I hook another monitor up to my macbook pro (2011)

How do I hook up another monitor, besides a mac display, to my macbook pro (2011)?

Dual Link DVI allows for seriously high resolution monitors (up to 2560 by 1600 like the Apple 30inch LED Display - Not manufactured anymore), I believe HDMI has a cap of traditional 1080p (1920*1080).
Edit: according to the HDMI Wiki Article it supports resolutions MUCH higher than 1080p, it's a matter of finding a Computer Monitor that supports higher than that (as I believe most Televisions only support up FULL HD 1080p)

Busted Screen, Need Help Hooking Up Monitor

The screen on my Powerbook is totally busted so I tried hooking up a monitor to it, but it seems to not be working correctly. All I see is my desktop picture, and no icons (like the HD or folders on my desktop), dock, or even the menu bar are not showing up. At first, I thought it was a ratio issue since the monitor is more square than the laptop screen, and therefore cutting the edges out where the menu bar, etc. would lie, but I'm pretty sure that's not the issue. I'm guessing I have to go into my system prefs and set the computer up to work with the monitor, but the problem is since the screen's totally shot, I can't even go in and do that. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi, hobageeba. What is the maximum resolution offered by your external monitor (consult its manual or the manufacturer's online specs for it)?
If the external monitor's maximum resolution (1024 x 768 or 1600 x 1200, for example) is as large as or larger than the maximum resolution of your Powerbook's display, you may be able to get a normal desktop — including the menu bar, desktop icons, etc. — displayed on the external monitor by pressing the F7 key on the Powerbook's keyboard. That should toggle the external display from Extended Desktop mode into Display Mirroring mode, in which the same video signal is sent to both displays, allowing you to use the external as the main display. (Note: under some circumstances, toggling F7 has no effect — and I don't know what circumstances, or why not. If it doesn't seem to do anything, it probably hasn't done anything, and it won't be helpful to you.)
Typically, if the external monitor's resolution is higher than the built-in display's, a mirrored video image will be displayed in the center of it surrounded by black, instead of filling the monitor. That wastes screen real estate, but at least you know you're seeing the whole desktop, and if your monitor is good, the image will be as sharp as it was on the built-in display when it worked.
If the external monitor has a lower maximum resolution than the built-in screen, the results of switching to Mirrored mode are less predictable. You may see only the center of the desktop, with the menu bar, hard drive icon, and other icons that were at the edges of the desktop "displayed" outside the edges of the external monitor. In that case it may be impossible to tell the difference between Mirrored and Extended Desktop modes, depending on what your desktop background image is. I don't know of a way to overcome that.
Whatever you find out about the monitor's resolution, give the F7 toggle a try and see what happens.

Monitor for Mac Book Pro

What is the best large monitor (24"or 27") to use with my 2011 Mac Book Pro?

Your MacBook Pros both feature ThunderBolt outputs.
Most Monitors (even those over 1920 wide) with a Mini DisplayPort or full-size DisplayPort will plug right in and work, or work with a cable that costs under US$10 and does no conversion. They pick up a subset of the ThunderBolt port's signals and use it directly.
DVI displays up to 1920 wide and HDMI displays up to 1920 by 1080p can be generated with a simple adapter.
Wide (over 1920 wide) DVI Monitors will require an expensive (about US$100) adapter that regenerates a Dual-Link (with data lines doubled) DVI signal, and also require additional power from a USB pigtail connected to USB or a 5V power source.
HDMI wider than 1920 wide is complex, expensive, and trouble-prone. Some TV sets can produce a picture, but it will not be as crisp, stable, or true-to-color as on a display sold as a Monitor.
Analog VGA displays are not going to produce the crisp picture required. An adapter is required, and very high resolutions are very difficult to obtain at all.

Connecting extenal monitor to Mac Book A1181

Have been trying to connect my A1181 mac book to a LG W1943TB monitor using a Mini DVI-VGA adapter, when its fired off all I get are the random coulured dots. I was told I would have to download the video drivers into my A1181. I have not found the download, is there such a thing? Thanks
Best Regards,
George

You've got a few choices to make, based as usual on budget. Assuming you're using DV-rez foootage, in ascending price your options are:
1. You camera is probably all you need - attach it via Firewire, as you will to digitise your footage, then attach the analog video out to your TV (there'll be a connector that ends in three RCA's). Cost = $0 if you have a camera.
2. Buy an external firewire breakout box, like a Canopus, Sony or PyroAV. Connect it to your computer, then to the TV via the RCA'S as above. Cost ~$200.
3. Buy an internal video card for your MacPro from Decklink or Aja (there are others). These are professional cards and will connect to your TV as before. Cost = $300 to $3000.

Phantom non existent external monitor on Mac book pro

Hi all, whenever I open my mac book pro, or wake it from sleep, the screen turns blue and it auto-detects a monitor that is not attached - a generic VGA display - the image at the following URL displays when an external monitor is NOT attached:
http://ellington.tvu.ac.uk/images/displays.png
I have to click 'detect displays' between 8 and 14 (sometimes more) times to trigger another detect routine that always changes to reflect the actual state of monitors.
I have a cinema display and when connected to the MBP - on start-up or awaking from sleep, the MBP often fails to detect the connected monitor and yet displays the same display status as above a generic VGA display - click 'detect displays' 8-14 times and it detects the cinema display. Whenever the machine / display sleeps, it seems to be a lottery as to whether the true display status is retained or whether the MBP detects the phantom monitor, blackens the cinema display and requires the (getting very tedious now) detection routine to get back to what's expect. At that point, all windows have resized and shifted position. I've described the problem to several in-store genius's with no obvious answer. I did not do a clean install from Tiger, but wonder if it would've helped.
What do you reckon? Hardware failing or some strange software problem?
Thanks in advance, Ian Grant

Yesterday I found the same problem. I disconnected from a Dell Projector and then later that night I noticed that my computer still showed two monitors. I'm still able to connect to an external monitor and it will detect it. However, immediately after disconnect the phantom display is back.
A little annoying because I'm always having application windows open on that phantom display.
Also I noticed that when I plugged into the projector the color was off significantly, as if there was a bad connection. I tried a variety of connectors and connected my laptop to a variety of different external monitors and all of them work flawless except for the Dell Projector. (I didn't try it on another projector because I only have the one.)
My conclusion is somehow when I disconnected from the projector I hadn't fully shut down or gone to sleep or my computer was in the middle of a disconnect when I closed the lid and this interruption as my computer transitioned from 2 displays to 1 created the phantom display. Hope to see a solution to this.
Thanks

Connecting la2306x monitor with mac book pro retina

Hi There
I just bought an HP Monitor la2306x, and tired to connect it with my Mac book pro Retina. I attempted the connection via HDMI Cable and a HDMI to Display Port Adapter, but the monitor didnt find the connection.
I then attached an HDMI to DVI adapter to the Monitor and still nothing, the Laptop did seem to notice that i connected another display as the screen went on and off but nothing was shown on the monitor.
Using the same connection i tried connectiong my PS3 and it connected through HDMI to DVI.
Can the monitor work with Macs? I didnt think it would be a issue
Thanks a lot for your Help!

Hello naja89,
You want to connect a monitor to your MacBook.
You might have to change a setting on the computer.
The cables connect to the Thunderbolt/Mini-Display Port, and you then have to select System Preferences > Display and use Mirroring or not according to how you want to operate.
I found this on the mac forums.
Here is the link to the forum.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

Setting Up External Monitor on Mac Book Air so I can still use the Keyboard.

Hi,
I have an Mac Book Air 15" and a 22" monitor that I would like to set up as the only display (so that the Mac Book screen is blank) and I can still use the laptop keyboard. I have an external Apple Magic Mouse but really like using the Mac Book keyboard. It would be appreciated if someone could assist with this.
Thanks.

Using 2006 iMac as a monitor for Mac Book Pro 2012

I want to connect my 2006 17" inch iMac with Mac Boon Pro and use it as extra monitor. Can you please suggest me how to do this and the kind of cables I should buy?

Other than the software listed above, which may or may not meet your expectations, you cannot do it. Your iMac is not capable of video in.

Hooking two Monitors to G5

I have a new G5 Quad. It's already operating beautifully with a 23" Apple HD Cinema. I want to add a 20" Apple HD cinema.
Does it matter which of the connectors in the back of the CPU I place which screen?
Is it manditory to connect the Firewire and usb connectors from the second monitor to the computer? I am assuming that they are only needed to make the outlets on the back of the screen work, which at the moment I do not need.
Is it OK to connect the USB and Firewire connectors from the second monitor to the first monitor?
Thanks for any recommendations you can offer.
Jeanie

Both ports are able to drive both monitors. Only if you have a 30" display will you need to make sure it's plugged into the dual link port. With your setup, it doesn't matter. You will be able to change which display is the main one in the displays portion of System Prefs (by clicking the arrangement tab and dragging them around). You can also drag the menu bar to either monitor.
Also, you don't need to connect the firewire or usb from the monitors to the computer. I'm sure it's fine to connect one monitor's ports to the other but I wouldn't recommend it. USB maybe...but not firewire.

How do I hook up Acer G236hl monitor to my macbook pro?

I recently purchased a macbook pro (non retina display) and an acer G236HL monitor. I would like to hook the monitor up to the macbook for a dual monitor display. There is no port on the macbook to go with the cables provided with the monitor (DVI cable and HDMI cable). How do I make this work? Is there some sort of adapter I can get or am I out of luck?

Use a MiniDisplay Port to DVI or HDMI adapter.
They are available fror Apple

or from may other sources you can Google.

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.
