IBook VGA DVI

I just bought an iBook g4 12" 1.33 GHz. It has not arrived yet but I was wondering what solutions if any do users use to connect it to en external DVI dislay. I have the DELL 24" flat panel. Is it possible to use the video port adapter to vga and then avga to dvi adapter? Or can I just use the video port to dvi adapter that is used for the powerbook?

Hi Sunnah,
The PowerBook adapter is a mini DVI to DVI and won't work with the iBook. I think you need a VGA to DVI adapter. It should work fine with the adapter that comes with the iBook. The Apple DVI to VGA Display Adapter may work. I don't know why it wouldn't but it says in the discription that it's for DVI to VGA not the other way. I don't think it's one way only but you may want to check with the Apple Store before buying it.

  • Connection iBook to DVI monitor, how to connect?

    Hey people!
    The question in subject. Just wanna add that if somebody experienced using Apple Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter?
    Thanks,

    The iBook has mini-VGA output not mini-DVI.
    You can use the Apple VGA Display Adapter M8639G/A to get VGA output.
    I have no idea if a VGA/DVI converter/adapter exists.

  • VGA DVI conversion?

    I have the iMac G5 with the VGA out, and I was bummed to discover that it was VGA ONLY!
    So I bought the mini-VGA cable anyway, and ordered and VGA>DVI adapter. After re-booting I noticed both monitors showed up in the Finder's Display Menu(at top of screen), but the 2nd monitor was still dark!
    So basically, I had 2 screens but only on the iMac screen.
    My research has led me to believe the only way to make this work is to buy a US$300 converter... Please, say it aint so.
    On the good side (and maybe off-topic), since I just bought this iMac 8 days ago, I was told I could return it for the intel version. Woo-hoo! (which supports DVI)
    oh, but wait- will my AdobeCS2 suite run slower on Rosetta than on a "pure" Mac?
    Thanks!

    Thanks!
    Here's a little more info (also posted in a related thread on this forum)
    I just checked the Apple Store web site--the video-out port on the 12" PowerBook is mini-DVI. The cable/adapter supplied with the 12" PowerBook is a mini-DVI to VGA cable and works with the Intel iMac. I have a 12" iBook G4, and when my Intel iMac arrives tomorrow, I will try out the cable. I'm guessing the iBook and PowerBook cable is identical, though the website says nothing about iBooks.
    From the Apple Store web page:
    "The Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter is designed for use with the iMac (Intel Core Duo) and 12-inch PowerBook G4. Connect the adapter to the Mini-DVI port of the PowerBook G4 and the VGA end of the adapter to an external VGA monitor or projector. Both video-mirroring and extended desktop modes are supported."

  • The difference between VGA, DVI-D and ADC?

    Hi.
    The difference between VGA, DVI-D and ADC and which should be used with a T244 widescreen monitor into a Quicksilver G4 with a GeForce2 MX nVIDIA (0x10de) card. What's a good upgrade card if the above is not good enough?
    Thank you for your input.

  • Can I use a VGA/DVI-D monitor to a new 2014 Mac Mini?

    My wife's PC just died (it was a cheap 300 pc that lasted probably 5 years.
    She basically emails, web surfs, looks at pictures and plays candy crush on Facebook so she doesn't need anything too high end.
    I was thinking of getting her the basic 2014 mac mini but I have a VGA/DVI-D monitor (an older Dell) and it fits perfectly on her desk.
    Can I somehow hook up a new mac mini to either the DVI-D or VGA input?
    If not, what is the best monitor to get HDMI or should I look into a thunderbolt monitor?
    Thanks,

    Yes. You will have to purchase one of the following adopter:
    - HDMI to DVI and use the Minis HDMI output
    - Mini displayport to DVI adopter and use one of the Minis Thunderbolt ports
    - Mini displayport to VGA adopter and use one of the Minis Thunderbolt ports
    I would use the monitor's DVI input over the VGA input

  • HT4617 Even though thunderbolt is not hot puggable in Bootcamp, is the use of mini displayport to vga/dvi still hot pluggable under Bootcamp?

    Even though thunderbolt is not hot puggable in Bootcamp, is the use of mini displayport to vga/dvi still hot pluggable under Bootcamp?

    This is Apple support on the subject
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4617
    Can I plug and unplug devices into a Thunderbolt peripheral that is already recognized?
    Yes. That is the best way to add and remove devices from the Thunderbolt chain while Windows 7 is running.
    Have you tried?

  • Iphone cable to vga, dvi or s-video

    i am building a video installation and i would like to run the video off my iphone, but the projector that was donated only has an s-video, vga, dvi-d and single video output. the budget it blown, so i cant afford a new projector, does anyone of a cable that can connect from iphone to vga or dvi.
    appreciate the help
    /brian

    I don't know of any off the top of my head, I'd have to look around. If I find anything I'll let you know. Even if you could get an adapter for iphone to vga, dvi-d, or s-video, you won't have any sound, those formats only support video.
    One way you could do it is by connecting a computer to it with iTunes installed that is connected to the projector. You can then hook your iPhone up to it, or if you have a wireless network installed you can download the remote application for the iPhone to control your iTunes library remotely if you are connected to the same Wi-Fi network the computer is on.

  • VGA/DVI cable - wanting to use two monitors.

    I got a VGA/DVI cable to connect the VGA port on my LCD TV to the DVI port on my desktop computer. I'm trying to use 2 monitors on my computer which has both a VGA and DVI port. My regular monitor was already on, and the computer detected the TV as a monitor but the TV wouldn't detect a signal. I had the TV on the VGA/PC setting. The cable was a return item so it might be defective. I was wondering if there's anything else I could try to get it to work?

    My computer's DVI port doesn't allow for the contacts above and below the flat blade like the DVI-I and DVI-A connectors in the picture. The cable that I got does have those contacts.
    Ooooooh.  So your computer may be one of the rare animals that doesn't have a DVI-I output, only DVI-D.
    Since your TV has HDMI inputs, this is the way to go.  Get a DVI-to-HDMI cable.  It will provide higher quality than VGA and is USUALLY easier to use, I've never had video timing/resolution support issues with HDMI.  (However, every computer I own has an Nvidia graphics card - the story may be different for ATI or Intel graphics!)

  • MS-7265 bootup without attached VGA/DVI cable

    Hi,
    I am unable to boot-up my MS-7265 board without attached VGA/DVI cable (this cable must be connected to monitor also). I am using this board for home server and I have no additional monitor. In manual is nothing about this requirement. Please help me.

  • Dual VGA \ DVI output on Dynadock??

    Hello
    We have recently got the DVI \ VGA Dynadocks U10 and have got all the software installed
    In the box was a note stating that with windows XP it is not possible to set an external monitor to the primary screen and then set the notebook monitor to the secondary
    This is fine, however I have got a VGA and a DVI monitor connected to the dynadock
    Is it possible to have the notebook display turned off and have the VGA as the primary monitor and the DVI as the secondary?
    Everything I have tried so far has failed

    Hello,
    it is not possible to use both (VGA + DVI port) at the same time.
    You can use either a VGA or DVI monitor with the dynadock but you can connect the VGA monitor to the computer directly.
    best regards

  • CAB-VGA-DVI-AUD25=

    Hi,
    I have a problem regarding the presentation cable Part ID: CAB-VGA-DVI-AUD25 This cable used to be this config
    DVI           ->       VGA
    RCA         ->       3.5 mm stereo
    But now (since this summer 2014) its seams to be this config on the cable:
    DVI            ->      VGA 
    3.5 mm     ->      3.5 mm
    Has anyone had this issue when doing an RMA?
    I just want to know witch presentation cable is for C-codecs now?
    /Jonas

    There's a description of the cables in this thread and some options for sourcing cheaper ones.
    But, to quickly answer your question
    CAB-VGA-DVI-AUD25= should have one end RCA and the other the 3.5mm.
    CAB-VGA-DVI-AUD= would be the one with 3.5mm jack at both ends.
    So, if you're doing an RMA, it's possble you're requesting, or being sent, the wrong cable as a replacement.

  • VGA, DVI, 18-pin, 30-pin???

    I'm sorry. I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I'm sure this issue has been dealt with somewhere in past forums but I have just wasted an hour trying to locate this info from other sources and failed. Please bear with me:
    I just received delivery of a new Viewsonic monitor to use as my second monitor. No sweat, I figured. My G5 is all ready to receive it. I even have an adapter that came with my G5 so I can handle anything Viewsonic sends my way right?
    No. Not right.
    The monitor came with two cables. One is the same 18-pin connector (9x9) that my current monitor is using (is this a DVI?). The other is a small 15-pin job (VGA? Mini-DVI?). Problem is the second monitor port on my G5 is some wide 30-pin thing that nothing I possess fits! I even checked the G5 manual and the diagram of the rear panel indicates two identical 18-pin ports like the one already in use. It's like someone screwed up when hey were putting this machine together a year and a half ago and put the wrong second display port.
    Can anyone explain what I'm up against here? I was at the Viewsonic site but without knowing what these different connectors are called I don't know what to look for in the way of adapters.
    Please help. I want to use my new monitor!

    ADC in need of an adapter--a rather pricey one at
    that depending on the vendor.
    It should be about $30.00. If it's near $100.00 it's the wrong adapter.
    Now what really bugs me is that I went to the G5
    manual and the diagram clearly states that the two
    monitor ports are supposed to be DVI. What gives with
    that anyway?
    It depends on the G5 and which graphics card. Some do have two DVI ports.
    The other problematic issue--and one that took up
    much of the time--was determining I was buying the
    right thing. Most product descriptions referred to
    the G4 and the G4 Cube as being the models in need of
    this adapter. I figured screw it though. I went ahead
    and ordered one. Oh well. We'll see. I'm hoping an
    ADC port is an ADC port.
    There is only one kind of ADC port, but there are three adapters:
    ADC to DVI (ADC computer to DVI-D digital display) ~ $30
    ADC to VGA (ADC computer to analog display input) ~ $30
    DVI to ADC (DVI computer to digital ADC display, not CRT) ~ $100

  • TV & monitor connected via DVI to VGA & DVI cable. Wont display

    I have my TV & monitor connected to my mini via DVI(input) to> VGA(output) & DVI(output) splitter cable. I cant get both tv and monitor to work at the same time only one or the other. How can I get this to work?
    Note: I dont want a continuous display, I just want one to show the same as the other. If there both plugged in why dont they both work?

    The answer to your question would require having a block diagram of the mini's graphics sub-system. If the DAC (digital-to-analog converter) behind the VGA port is just driven from the same output as the TMDS transmitter behind the DVI port, then I agree it would be possible that both could output the same screen simultaneously. But if the VGA and DVI ports are treated as seperate channels all the way back to video memory, then likely one would be prioritized over the other, only one could be active, and they would not be able to output simultaneously.
    Another potential problem is that TVs and computer monitors generally want to run at very different formats and they require different signal types to be happy. A TV will want an interlaced output whereas a computer monitor will not. And a TV will want a very low resolution, like 640 x 480, whereas a computer monitor will be happiest at a much higer resolution.
    I hope for you that someone else has this working and chimes in with some practical advice. I try to avoid making posts where I have no practical advice to offer and only bad news, but in this case I thought you might want to know about some potential barriers to success. Good luck.

  • Trying to connect my Macbook Pro with an external Monitor - Using VGA - DVI

    Hi Everyone..
    Please dont classify me as dumb but every-time i need to connect my MBP to an external monitor or projector i cant
    It just doesn't work... I plug it in using all the right connectors - DVI-VGA or the other way around... Anyway - i get a blue screen which tricks me... =]
    After the blue screen i go straight to the page i was on before connecting the monitor...! =[
    Anyway.. are there any settings i need to adjust.... =]
    If there is anything that you guys know of please inform me because i am in need to use a Monitor frequently but so far i havn't been able to do it seen as though i don't know what to do.. Ive watched tutorials and have done exactly what they've told me but it still wont display anything on the external monitor. Ive used 2 MBP's - Both i've had issues with connecting them to an external display. i know its only a minor change i need to make in System preferences but i dont know which one it is...
    Please - if you know please please please tell me what it is.! =]
    Thanks alot!
    Carl... =]

    I assume that you mean the blue screen is on your monitor, not your MBP. If this is the case, go to system preferences and click on displays, when the pop up box appears, click on "detect displays". See if that helps.

  • Satellite P100: Can I connect two external monitor to VGA & DVI port at the same time?

    The Satellite P100 comes with two external monitor port. A VGA and a DVI. Can you have have two external monitor working at the same time? Can you have two external monitor as well as your internal display working at the same time (for a total of 3 display at the same time?
    Here is what I have confirm:
    Internal display + DVI connector display
    OR
    Internal display + VGA connector display
    Is it possible to have:
    DVI connector display + VGA connector display?
    OR
    DVI connector display + VGA connector display + Internal display?

    As far as I know this is not possible and you can use either DVI or VGA port.
    For signal output can be used only one port for external display.
