HT3235 How to connect or activate mini dvihdmi port on Mac pro 10.6x ?

Why when I plug mini dvihdmicable adapter into the mini dvi port and then into my HDTV nothing happens? What am I not doing?

The device you bought looks like the Plugable adapter I bought, which is based on Prolific PL2303, so you just need to know what the tty for the serial device is.  The drivers on the Plugable site says 10.6 or greater, so maybe try those.
http://plugable.com/products/pl2303-db9
In my case, its /dev/tty.usbserial.  If you want to just connect to a switch, install the drivers and use screen like so:
screen <serial device> <baud rate>
ex:
screen /dev/tty.usbserial 115200

  • How to connect 20" apple cinema dispay to 17"Mac Pro

    I got a 20"apple cinema display(2004)
    Now I wanna hook it up with my 17"Macbook Pro (2007)
    The problem is that I have 4 cables coming from the display. 2 is compatible with my notebook (USB and firewire), however, the other 2 cable (DVI and power) are not compatible.
    So does anyone know what should I do to correctly connect my notebook to the display? like which kinda of DVI cable and power cable should I buy?
    Thanks a lot~

    The Cinema Display 20 requires a special external (white brick) power supply that should have come with the display. If it didn't, you'll have to look for one on the used market or at third-party retailers. Apple no longer sells it. It's possible that the supply for a Cinema 30 would also work with a 20, but I'm not sure.
    The connector for an external display on a 2007 MacBook Pro is DVI and ought to work with a Cinema 20's DVI connector without the need for any adapter or special cable.

  • How I connect a 27 " Mini DisplayPort Display to a Mac Pro 2006?

    Dear All,
    I need to know if I can connect a 27" Mini DisplayPort Display to Mac Pro 2006
    Thanks a lot in advance

    You can certainly do that, the Apple Online store sells it for US$150.

    I have not tested it. It is certainly good to know it exists. I hate paying the premium for "leading edge" equipment, so I am writing from my 2009 Mac Pro with used Apple 30 inch Cimena display.
    If I were to pay what that new display costs, I would buy a new display card to drive it directly. My recommendation is to upgrade your diplay card for US$100 more (than the cost of the adapter) and get a card capable of Dual-Link DVI AND two Mini Displayports.

  • How to connect my ipad mini to wireless printer

    Could someone tell me how to connect my ipad mini to my AirPrint printer

    If it says there is no sim card installed it either can't find one physcially, or the card moved and lost contact or has failed.  A new sim card can be obtained form your Mum's cell/mobile carrier if needed easily.
    However this is irrelevant to whether or not the iPad can join a Wifi network.  Its 2 different things.
    For now ignore the Sim card message and just try to connect to her Wifi network.  It is independent and should function regarldess of the sim card status.

  • HT4951 Can i use a Thunder bolt display with an iMac from the mid 2009 ? Would it work if connected to a mini dvi port in a scaled down mode or is it compulsory to have a thunder bolt port ?

    I have a mid 2009 iMac that doesn't have Thunderbolt display, but has a mini-dvi port.
    Will the Thunderbolt cinema display 27" still work when connected to this mini-dvi port ?
    I thought it would be better going for a thunderbolt display monitor rather than the older version, so when i upgrade my machine in the future it stays compatible.

    No.  A TB display can only be connected to a TB source.

    As indicated in that artical a displayport device can be connected to a TB source.  But that is not your situation.

  • How can I hook up 3 screens to a Mac Pro 8 core 2010 model?

    How can I hook up 3 screens to a Mac Pro 8 core. One is a 23' Apple Cinema Display, the second is a 20" Apple cinema display and the 3rd is a 32' Sony Bravia HDTV (connected to mini port with mini/HDMI connector) Do I need to buy another video card? I have heard  about 4 different scenarios about this, and they all sound a bit complicated. I thought that you could automatically connect 3 displays with the card that comes with the MacPro. It has a DVI port and 2 mini ports, so it appears that would be for 3 displays. But this is where it gets strange. Any thoughts?

    Which video card?  5x70?  If you read about the various scenarios thern for 5x70's you need two active adapters for thee monitors (TV considered a monitor).  And you should have seen references to these apple docs:
    Mac Pro (Mid 2010), Mac Pro (Early 2009): Issues with three displays and multiple DVI, HDMI connections
    Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
    It's not really complicated.  Search out the appropriate adapters and hook 'em up.   For the 23" and 20", if they are DVI, you need single link adapters.  For the TV, if you end up using the DVI port for it (because possibly you can't find the appropate adapter cmbination) then you need to handle the audio separately since DVI doesn't carry audio.

    I still don't know what happened to my test Aperture Library after the update to 3.4...Not only were my previews lost, but so were the original images!  Needless to say, I haven't bothered to update the main library on the Mac Pro because I don't want to deal with this level of uncertainty (even with backups in place).

  • HT4628 My ipad and iphone connect and recognize wifi signal, but my mac pro running 10.6.8 does not  recognize or list the wiifi signal as option, any ideas?

    Hi,
    In Austria, iphone and ipad "see" and connect to wifi signal no problem but mac pro in same room will not even allow me to choose the same wifi signal.  It seems almost blocked.  Havectried everything it seems by restarting, deleting preferred accoints, etc.  software is updated but running osx 10.6.8
    Thanks for any help!

    Try the basics first:
       Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.
    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.
    System Preferences>Network
    Click the Assist Me button.
    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

  • How can i stream(air mirroring) *.mkv files between Mac Pro and AppleTV2 by using quicktimeX?

    Need support!

    How can i stream(air mirroring) *.mkv files between Mac Pro and AppleTV2 by using quicktimeX?
    As stated you can't. Even if the compressed data is TV compatible, the container is not. If the file is playback compatible with the QT X Player, you can, of course, play the file on your main system and "mirror" its display to the TV. Unfortunately, this normally means only the video is played back via the TV device. On the other hand, if you convert the MKV content to an TV compatible file (or move the compressed data to an TV compatible container if the data is already TV compatible), then you can mirror the QT X player (with audio) to the TV device in the full screen mode, air play/mirror it from iTunes (or any mobile device), or stream it directly from itunes.
    Basically, what you can do here depends on the compressed data in the MKV file container and how you define "mirroring."

  • My question was how do you control bass and treble on your Mac pro? he act of the matter is you can't. Why don't they just say that rather than reading all of the ********

    My question was how do you control bass and treble n a Mac Pro with the latest software.
    The answer is you can't
    In summary why don't you say that upfront?
    Instead of reading a bunch of crap that says nothing

    just a suggestion: try soundflower or Audio Hijack Pro. I know with the 2nd one, you can control the bass, treble, and all that, with anything that makes sound, from itunes, to Safari, DVD player, Skype ( I guess) and other stuff. Worth the $, IMO, so in answer to your question  dbumgardner1, no, no you can't.  I suppose in that sense, Windows has us at a loss. We also need 2nd party stuff to play BluRay's, too. However, I haven't seen any Macintosh viruses (virii?) for a long long time....
    so, there's that....
