I have iMac G5.  Need VGA adaptor for display port.

I have an old iMac Power Mac G5 8.2.  I need a VGA adapter for display port so we can use it in our TV studio in my elementary school.  What kind do I need to get?
Mini-DVI and mini-display don't fit.

2nd Display Support:
Mirroring Only*
2nd Max. Resolution:
1024x768*
Details:
Apple reports that this system has a "VGA output port for video mirroring on an external display or projector", and supports output resolutions of "640 x 480 pixels at 60Hz, 800 x 600 pixels at 75Hz and 1024 x 768 pixels at 75Hz". However, the hardware is capable of using an external display in dual or "extended desktop mode", Apple just blocked the capability in firmware to protect sales of more expensive Macs. Unsupported third-party hacks are available.

The port is actually Mini-VGA...

  • Is there any Vga adaptor for the Ipad 2 that is VIDEO IN rather than OUT?

    Is there any Vga adaptor for the Ipad 2 that is VIDEO IN rather than VIDEO OUT? is for a student with visual impairment who needs to view the classroom digital board content from a very short distance, like the distance to an Ipad for example, so the Ipad would be ideal as an interactive monitor with typography and content easy to amplify.
    At the moment, this student has a traditional flat screen monitor taking over the table next to him, so no other child can seat in it, and he has no opportunity to befriend and sporadically joke with anybody else. So much for "inclusion".
    Please do let me know: [email protected]

    Speaking as a teacher ... Why can't he have a student on the other side of him?

  • Where can I find a driver for STLab USB 2.0 to VGA Adaptor for Macbook Air

    Where can I find a driver for STLab, USB 2.0 to VGA Adaptor for Mcbook Air

    Thank you for the response.
    I downloaded it and it keeps telling me "No Scanner Detected." I looked on their website under supported scanners, found my Microtek ScanMaker 3600 and it says "NO" for Mac.

    I just sent an email to them asking if VueScan does support a my scanner. I hope it does. I have been searching but am not proficient or know enough of what to look for. I just don't want to have to buy another scanner.

  • Having problems with my VGA adaptor for iPad.

    I bought the VGA adaptor for iPad from BB the other day, and when it arrived, I could not get it to work with my iPad (iPad 1 with latest OS). I tried adjusting settings on my monitor (I'm using it with my second computer monitor, a 24" AOC brand), but I could not get anything to display. I tried plugging it into my new iPhone 4S, and it worked flawlessly with every application. I then tried using it with my new iPod Touch, with latest OS installed, and it would not do anything either. So I have this adaptor for iPad, and it works with my iPhone 4S, but not my iPad or iPod Touch. Does anyone out there have any answers or suggestions?
    Thank you for your time...

    JCinINDY-
    The iPad 1 only sends video to the adapter when a slideshow or a video is playing.  You can not see the normal iPad 1 display on a VGA screen.  It does not support "mirroring" the way an iPhone 4S will.
    That said, it is possible you have a bad connector on the iPad 1.  If you can take it to an Apple Store Genius, they should be able to verify whether or not it is working correctly.

  • Which VGA adaptor for my Intel Core 2 Duo iMac?

    Hi folks... new to this forum. I'm looking to hook up my 20" iMac to a 2nd monitor (it’s a 20” Samsung VGA).
    I’m very confused... So far, I've bought 2 different adaptors (neither of which fit the iMac):
    Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter (which is listed as ”suitable for iMac Intel Core Duo”)
    http://store.apple.com/ie/product/M9320G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MjE0NTg3Ng
    Apple Mini VGA to VGA adaptor (which is listed as "suitable for iMac flat screen")
    http://store.apple.com/ie/product/M8639G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MjE0NTg4Mg
    Can anybody enlighten me which adaptor I need?... my iMac is a 20” iMac Core 2 Duo & I bought it new in April 2008.
    Thanks!

    Perhaps is was packaged or repackaged incorrectly, because that is the correct adapter part # for the Intel iMac's including the Early 2008 model.

  • I need to connect a computer monitor to my MacBook Pro but have found that when using the mini display port to VGA adaptor the screen display on my macbook is very small font. Please what do I do to correct this?

    I need to connect a computer monitor to my mac book pro, using a mini display port to VGA adaptor. But have experienced a drastic reduction in font size on my

    18. What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter?
    The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. VGA displays that use higher refresh rates (such as 85 Hz) at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or greater may not generate video properly until you lower the refresh rate.

    How can I detect displays?
    If the detect displays option is not available, hold down the Option key while you are in the Display pane.
    How do I select additional resolutions on my display?
    You can use the Display pane of System Preferences to specify how your display works. Not all options appear for all display models. By default the best resolution for your display will already be selected in System Preferences.
    To select a different resolution, use the Scaled option. Some additional resolutions may be available when you hold the Option button.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptor for my iMac app?

    I installed my Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter to my iMac and connected it to a ViewSonic Pro 8500 DCP projector and was unable to get the image on my iMac projected on to the screen.  Do I need an app for this and if so how do I obtain one?

    No. No 'app' is required. Check the display resolution you have set. It's likely the Mac is not able to detect the max resolution of the projector you've connected it to. You may have to set the display resolution manually.

  • Output iPad video to 27" iMac using iPad VGA adaptor?

    Hi, I was wondering is it possible to Output iPad video to 27" iMac as an external monitor using iPad VGA adaptor?
    Thx.

    No.  The VGA adaptor is an analog connection and the only inputs are digital Mini Display / Thunderbolt ports depending on your model.  It maybe possible with a conversion box of some sort or maybe trying an HDMI to mini display port cable ($44.95) and an iPad 2.  The 27' should be able to be used as a second display but the 21 is not.  If you have the iPad 2, pick up the cable and the HDMI adapter and try it out.  If not, return the cables within two weeks.

    Does the T410s not have a VGA port built right in?  I know my T510 does and I'm almost certain the regular (non-"s") T410 has one.

    DVI does not include sound.
    I am surprised that there are no DVI to HDMI adopters in the UK. What about:

  • Do I need to download Mini Display Port to VGA update?

    I want to be able to watch movies from the MBP on the TV.  (Panasonic 32" about 5 years old).  Air Play doesn't work through the ATV, the stream is erratic and unwatchable.  Both HDMI ports are in use for other things.  So I got a Mini Display Port to VGA adapter and a VGA cord and plugged it into the PC input on the TV.  I get the screen to come up (no sound, is that normal?) so it seems to work. 
    Now I read that there is an update for the Mini Display Port to VGA.  I downloaded it then was unable to open it because it said it was from an "unidentified source" (Apple!!!!)  Do I need this?  The article that described this was dated 2009, so I'm thinking it is way obsolete but I want to be sure. 
    And what about sound and VGA?  Do I need a separate audio in connection, and if so, to what input since the PC input is VGA only.
    I know that's a lot of stuff.  Thanks.

    Steve1000,
    VGA only supplies video, so no sound is normal. You’ll need another connection to provide sound — perhaps through your audio out (headphones) port?
    When you have the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter in use, run Software Update; if it doesn’t offer the adapter’s firmware update, then your adapter already has it installed.
