HT5219 How would I connect dual monitors and also a firewire cable? Macbook Pro (Retina)

Currently I am using two thunderbolt to DVI connectors for the dual monitors, but I am left without any firewire cable connection for my audio interface. THe only adaptor I found was another thunderbolt to firewire, but since I already used these two ports, I am left with no options. I haven't been able to find any usb to firewire cable connections.
Are there any other adapators/ports I can use that I am not aware of?

Something like this at US$300:

How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?

How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro? This question applies to both DVI and VGA, as I might have to work with multiple sets of monitors.

The MacBookPro only has enough horsepower in the video card for one external monitor.
If you want two or more, you need a MacPro.
Or a MacBook Pro and a Remote Desktop controlled MacMini.

How do I connect an iPhone 5S or 6 with audio video cables? Our van only has these connections. Apple did have a cable that worked with the 4/4S, but it does not work with an adapter on the 5S. I want audio only.

I Thought I probably was.
something like this should work then, right?

How can I connect to a database from ipaq with cldc??

how can I connect to a database from ipaq with cldc??

Hi Again
There is a library by Mimer which allows you do connect to a Mimer SQL Server, don't know must about it, but here is a link.
http://developer.mimer.com/
If that doesn't suit you, I suspect that you will have to use some sort of proxy solution. Either by creating a servlet to accept the sql string you want to send, or by creating your own custom proxy server running J2EE. The servlet or the proxy server must be able to receive an SQL String, do the query to the actual database and return the results in some sort of format to the mobile device. Maybe just a space delimited string.
Hope this helps

Hi, can someone help me how can i connected my multimeter to my pc with rs232, because my computer can´t recognize the device, i mean the multimeter, is a multimeter keithley serie 2400, and i already downloaded all the drivers for labview even the VISA

hi, can someone help me how can i connected my multimeter to my pc with rs232, because my computer can´t recognize the device, i mean the multimeter, is a multimeter keithley serie 2400, and i already downloaded all the drivers for labview even the VISA

Marco,
Here are some suggestions:
1) Check the manual the Keithley manual to see how to configure the RS-232.
    On some models you need set Factory defaults to USER and turn on the RS-232.
    Also there may be a setting for SCPI which you want on (probably on by default).
2) On your PC - open Device Manager. See if a COM port exists and is functional.
     You must get this working before continuing.
      You can set the COM port parameters by right clicking and selecting Properties.
     (On some PCs the onboard ports can be disabled in the BIOS)
3) If step two was OK, open MAX (Measurement and Automation eXplorer).
    On the left side, click on Devices and Hardware.
    Click on Serial and Parallel.
    Go to the COM port you found in Device Manager.
    Open a VISA Test Panel.
    Now I don't have one I can look at right now, so this is general idea:
   Configure the COM port to match the Keithley settings (should be OK if step 2 worked)
   Go to the (I think) Input Output tab (you want to send a command)
   The command string input should already have a *IDN? entered, if not, type it in.
   Click on the Query button to send the command and check the response.
   If you get an ID string back (Company name, Model, FW Version ...) then it works.
   (Disregard an error saying it did not get enough charcters back.)
I hope this helps,
steve

How do i connect to an OHP (Overhead Projector) with MacBook Air?

How do i connect to an OHP (Overhead Projector) with MacBook Air? Is it possible? What leads would I need?
Thanks.

Good question! The simple answer is, I haven't the foggiest idea. I will be going abroad, so don't know what kind of OHP i will have to use. I have a lead that connects with a tv (HDMI - I think). But am not sure about OHPs.

How to connect dual monitors

Hi, I am not very computer literate, so I apologize in advance. For my job, I need to connect another monitor to my HP Touchsmart Desktop all in one model 310-1000, but do not know how or if it is possible. Can you please tell me step by step what I need to know/do in order to connect another monitor? Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the additional information. I changed the link in my first post to show examples of USB 2.0 to DVI adapters. You will have to make certain that you buy the correct one. It has to match the connector on the monitor. I suggest that you contact StarTech Customer Service for help with choosing one that matches your monitor. You don't want to have to pay for return shipping if it is incorrect. StarTech has good products. Please click the "Thumbs up + button" if I have helped you and click "Accept as Solution" if your problem is solved.

How to enable a dual monitor mode

I have a MSI FX52000 VTD-128 board which suppose to support a dual monitor mode. It has D-Sub analog, DVI and VIVO connectors.
Would it be possible to connest primary monitor to DVI and secondary to analog output or only Video Out can be used for the secondary monitor?

Have you installed the latest "Forceware" Drivers?...I think MSI's 52.70's are great...How you should go about setting up for two displays is to go into NVIDIA Driver Control Panel>trouble shooting>Click on the "Detect Displays" Button after you connect the other monitor ...Sean REILLY875

My HP Laptop Model is 15-d009TU

There are a number of ways to do this.
The low cost old school method with VGA output and a usb to VGA adapter (with software)
How about three displays? It is more costly, but definitely updates the possibiolities.

Help needed to connect dual monitors.

Hi everyone. Here's my problem, I bought two Samsung SyncMaster 913v LCD TFT Displays.
Both of these displays (since they aren't the digital LCD) connect the same way my old Sony Trinitron MultiscanG400 display connected, which I believe is the VGA connection or SVGA or whatever... I'm not smart enough to look into the difference.
Anyway, I have the right Graphics/Video card to run dual monitors. I'm using the GeForce 2 TwinView and it has the required 64mb VRam.
My problem is that there is only one port on the back for monitors. I believe the connection type next to it is an old pre-usb printer/scanner type of connector, LPT1 or whatever those are called.
So do I need an adapter/connector to hook up both of my monitors to use it as a dual display? If not, what do I need to do?
Thanks.

Hi,
To clarify the last post by PB PM. Your present card meets those requirements.
The GF2 Twinview card is sufficient. It has two outlets, one is VGA the other is ADC (Apple Display Connector). You will need a ADC to VGA Adapter, they cost @ $25-30. Hook one monitor to the existing VGA outlet, the other to the adapter on the ADC outlet.
One example is here: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/AddLogix/MCAADCVGA/
You can google for other prices.
After the monitors are connected you may need to go to Displays Pref's and set it for dual monitors in Mirror or Span modes.
Regards,
Dave

Connecting Dual Monitors T500

I undestand the T500 does have a displayport, as well as a VGA output. So I could easily connect two monitors for a dual monitor setup. But what would I do in order to connect two monitors digitally?
I currently have a 22" WSXGA screen and using the laptop as a second screen. But I figure another large monitor might increase productivity.
Thanks

Is there a trick to getting the display port to work? I purchased a cablestogo displayport to DVI adapter and the machine does not recognize that any devices connected to it. I went through the presentation manager to turn off the laptop screen and switch my video to displayport and vga and I get this error:
The folloing settings you have selected cannot be applied properly. Change the setting and try again. External Monitor or Projector, Television
Resolution
Color Quality
any help would be apprecicated.

How do I connect studio monitors to my Mac?

Hello all,
I have recently been in the market for sudio monitors for my Mac. I've narrowed it down to the Yamaha HS5. Ideally, I would have to of them. I would like to know how they would connect to my iMac since I've never dealt with studio monitors before. Would I need a quarter-inch jack? Would I need adapters? Pre-amps? I really have no idea what is needed.
Thanks!

You'll need to split the stereo signal coming out of the Mac into two mono signals (L+R) using something like this HOSA Stereo 3.5 mm Phone Male - Two Mono 1-Tip and 1 ...
Then you would run a mono cable from the splitter to each speaker.
You'll need to check the manufacturer for the size of the connector on the speaker to size the cables correctly.
regards

How to set up dual monitors with a Mac Mini

The Mac Mini has only one video output port. I very nearly didn't buy a Mac Mini system because I need to work with two monitors. I use the second monitor to display information in Web pages, PDFs, and Word documents while I am working in the main window.
However, I discovered after quite a bit of Googling that it is possible to set up dual monitors using an inexpensive USB video adapter (about $70).
So I bought my Mini (1.83Ghz, 2GB RAM, 200GB 7200rpm Seagate Momentus), and I also bought a USB video adapter called the EVGA Plus.
I've installed this system and used it now for a week, and I am quite pleased with it. So I thought I'd pass this information along to anyone who's interested. Please note that, although this is my first post to this forum, this isn't spam -- I have no financial relationship with any of the companies mentioned here, other than as a customer.
LINKS
EVGA Plus:
http://www.evga.com/articles/409.asp
Their literature does not mention Mac OS X compatibility. However, the underlying technology is made by Display Link. You can download beta Mac OS X drivers from their site:
Go to Display Link to download the beta Mac OS support -- see
http://www.displaylink.com/macbetadrivers.html
The disk image includes a very well written PDF document that explains the driver's status and limitations.

NOTES
* The DisplayLink driver is beta. It doesn't support 2D or 3D accelerated graphics. You can't use it to display iPhoto slide shows, for example. However, I need to be able to display a Web page, document, or PDF in the second monitor while I am working in the first. I've found this solution to be quite acceptable for this purpose.
* Several other companies make USB video units that use the same DisplayLink support, so they should work, too. However, they are more expensive -- largely because they're set up to function as port expanders, I believe. The EVGA Plus was the only unit priced under $100 when I did my search.
* USB does not have very much bandwidth, so you might be surprised that to hear that it's possible to use USB to drive a monitor! You'll find that the display isn't as fast as DVI, but for my purposes, I've found it quite acceptable.
* The EVGA Plus comes with a terrible USB to mini USB cable that will cause all sorts of display problems. Replace it with the type of cable that is used to hook up digital cameras to a USB port.
* Once everything is installed, you can use the Displays in System Preferences (or just click the icon on the menu bar) to adjust the second monitor. You can choose display resolutions (depending on your monitor's ability, of course). Rotation works. You can also right-click the second monitor and choose a different background color or graphic.
Don't expect miracles. Don't go this route if you want to run videos or games in the second monitor. And if you get an EVGA Plus, replace that horrible cable!
I hope this information is helpful.
Bryan

There has been quite a lot of discussion here about driving twin displays with the mini, and more recently about the potential for USB video adapters to facilitate this, particularly in the light of several vendors claiming they have suitable MacOS devices and drivers 'almost ready'.
The DisplayLink solution seems to be the one most suggested as viable, though it's a pity they have not yet been able to move their drivers from beta - I suspect that puts a few people off. It's therefore good to hear of a real-world experience that should help others decide whether or not to go this route!
