Is every external monitor compatible with macbook air via thunderbolt to vga??????/

Yes if the monitor has a VGA D-Sub input port.
Otherwise you'll need a TB to Whatever The Input of The Monitor Is adapter. Could be DVI or HDMI.

Is the LG 22EN33S-B 22-inch LED 1920 x 1080 VGA Monitor compatible with mac via a vga to thunderbolt connection

Is the LG 22EN33S-B 22-inch LED 1920 x 1080 VGA Monitor compatible with mac via a vga to thunderbolt adapter?

The 1080p and 1080i options only appear on the HDMI display settings, the display settings for the thunderbolt to vga adaptor has 1920 x 1080.
Via the HDMI output of the Mini via an HDMI cable to a HDMI input on the Samsung the display fills the screen but the text looks vile.
The options for picture adjustement on the samsung include fill screen as you suggest
Using the thunderbolt to VGA adaptor the text looks as it should, crisp and clear but the display is shitfted to the right.
The options for picture adjustment on the Samsung does not have the 'fill screen' option available when the VGA input is selected. However a new option called 'pc screen adjustment' appears and you can nudge the display over to the left a bit but not enough to cover the whole screen.
I remind you the pc worked perfectly 1920 x 1080 on the same VGA cable and input to the samsung.

Is isight external camera compatible with mac mini?

I just bought an old isight camera from ebay. I used a firewire 800 to 400 cable to connect to my late 2012 mac mini. I test to cam using facetime but the screen said no camera connected. So I connect the isight with my old macbook to test the camera, and the connection is fine.
I wonder if the old isight cam is still compatible with mac mini. If so, that might be the problem of the fire 800 to 400 cable.

Other users, including myself, could not get the barrel iSight camera to work on the 2012 Min with Mavericks. It did work on my late 2009 Mini except the mic did not work. It does work on my late 2013 Mac Pro desktop except again, that the mic does not work.

Is benq GL2440 monitor compatible with Mac Mini (early 2011)

Hey all
Bought a Benq GL2440 monitor to go with my mini (not latest, previous)
but when connected via HDMI nothing but a msg saying 'no cable connected'
Any one got a solution ?

That's correct, the link perfectly describes the Apple 20" Cinema Display I have. With the new Mac Minis requiring an HDMI cable to link to a display, the HDMI to DVI (female) adapter looks like the one I need. I found this on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Gino-Black-Female-Converter-Adapter/dp/B006Z8N60C/ref=sr_1 _18?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1371158207&sr=1-18&keywords=hdmi+to+dvi+adapter+ca ble
This adapter is an all-in-one plug with no cable linking the HDMI to the DVI ends. It looks like it might be too wide to plug in anything immediately adjacent to the HDMI socket on the Mac Mini due to the width of the adapter when the adapter is plugged in. However, I could get around this by purchasing an extension cable with HDMI male on one end and the HDMI female on the other if I had to.
However, one of the comments said that the DVI is video-only and that another cable is required for audio. Can I assume that plugging in either or both of the other connections (a USB and a FireWire) coming out of the 20" display will take care of audio?
That leads to another answer, but I'm confident that I'm almost there thanks to your help. Close enough to mark this as "solved". Thank you! Let me know if you have any further thoughts with regard to the audio though.

External Monitor - Works with Mac Lion OS, but not with Boot Camp

Computer: Macbook Pro 13 inch purchased Spring 2011
OS: Mac - Lion (10.7.3), Boot Camp - Windows 7 (64 bit)
Utilizing an adaptor, I'm able to use my Samsung monitor without I problem when working in the Mac operating system. Unfortunatlely, when I switch to Windows 7 / Boot Camp partition, plugging in the Samsung makes both the external and laptop monitors go blank.
I have spent hours researching this, but I have be unable to come up with solution. It seems like the problem might have something to do with the NVIDIA drivers.
Does anyone know how I can go about fixing this problem? I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
PJL

I haven't experienced this in Bootcamp under Windows 7 using your same computer/OS's and I dual boot and use two monitors daily. So what you want IS possible.
When you boot into Windows the only Apple software you are using are Apple supplied drivers, some third party. Your video drivers are supplied by NVIDIA to Apple.
Try different adapters and cables. You don't say what you are using, DVI, VGA, but prove your cable set first. Then get your hardware specs and driver specs from Windows properties in Bootcamp and hit the Windows forums.

External Hard Drive Compatible with Mac and Windows?

So my old laptop is a Dell Latitude and I bought a Western Digital external hard drive and put all my files/pics/music on it. The information the WD came with said its compatible with Mac and Windows, but when I plug it into my brand spankin new Macbook, it doesn't register with the computer and won't show up. What's going on?

I recently ran into that problem. In order to have the hard drive compatible for both PC and Mac it must be in a FAT32 format. In order to do this though all your files will be deleted (in order to reformat). You can do this by plugging in the hard drive into you mac and going under disk utility and there you will find your hard drive and under erase change the format to FAT32 and then you press erase (all will be deleted off the external drive though)

USB-to-VGA adapter compatible with Mac?

Hi,
I'm trying to hook up an additional external monitor to my MacBook Pro using a USB-to-VGA adapter. I don't need any kind of graphics acceleration.
Here is the type of adapter I'm looking at:

Apparently some have gotten the 2nd one to work on Linux with the sisusb driver. Does anybody know if this is compatible with Mac OS X?
Thank you!
MacBook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB memory

Your Mac came with a DVI to VGA adapter. Why do you need a USB one, when the DVI one is faster and more reliable?
Note the specs:

If yours was missing the adapter which is shown "In the box", call AppleCare to ask a replacement be sent.

Sony HDR-SR1 compatible with mac?

I just bought the new sony handycam HD camcorder with the built in hard drive but was shocked to find that it did not come with software for Mac. Fortunately, I have an old windows machine so I installed the the software necessary to import the videos from my camcorder onto my PC. However, I do not want to use my windows anymore. Does anyone know if sony camcorders just aren't compatible with macs or is there some way for me to import my videos directly onto my apple?

Have a look, via Google, for converters to change the .mts video format into something compatible with DV. You may have to run the converter software on your PC, as I can find only a Linux (not Mac) converter, and some PC software. Having converted it to DV format, you'd have to copy the resultant file(s) to your Mac ..probably by plugging in an external hard disc to first one and then the other. Cumbersome, I know.
There is no support for the AVCHD format - as Kirk says - in iMovie at present. We'll have to wait and see what iMovie HD 7 brings. But that should be quite soon..

Need an external HD compatible with OS 9

Can anyone recommend a good External HD compatible with OS 9 (160GB - 500GB). Thanks for your help

Hi, coolins -
Yes, they are easy to use. An external hard drive can be used just like a large floppy - you can drag and drop files to it, or save files directly to it via simple navigation in the Save or Save As dialog window. You can copy a multitude of files at once - select a group of files, folders, or mixed files and folders on your internal hard drive and drag the group to the external drive; Finder will copy (not move) the group to the drive.
As far as setup goes, although the drive may come preformatted for a Mac (or not; most won't), it should be reformatted before you use it. Unfortunately, OS 9's Drive Setup utility (which can be used to do that for internal drives) is not capable of formatting an external drive. Some drive manufacturers will furnish a formatting utility with their drive; for those that don't, you will need to use a 3rd-party utility. The one that I use is the VST formatting Utility. Another option is to use a machine running OSX to do the formatting - OSX's Disk Utility is capable of formatting a firewire (or USB) drive. In any case, be sure to select Mac OS Extended (also called HFS+) as the format for the drive.
Once the drive has been formatted it will appear on your desktop as an icon, on the right-hand side where all drive icons (those for hard drives, floppies, aip drives, CDs, etc.) appear. You can open it by double-clicking it; change its icon; and even rename it (provided File Sharing has not been enabled for that drive).

How do you switch output sounds set to my external monitor that is connected via HDMI.

How do you switch output sounds set to my external monitor that is connected via HDMI.

Hello gail from Ajijic,
If you'd like to change the audio output of your Mac, you can do so by accessing the Sound preferences in your System Preferences.
Before you start, open the Output pane of Sound preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sound, then click Output).
Choose a sound output device
From the list of sound output devices, select the one you want to use. All sound output devices available to your Mac are listed, including the computer’s internal speakers, devices plugged into your computer’s sound port (), USB speakers, and AirPlay devices.
For any device plugged into the computer’s sound port, choose Headphones.
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your computer’s sound output settings
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Alex H.

Apple ColourSync 20 inch monitor compatible with G5?

Is the Apple ColourSync 20 inch monitor compatible with G5?

Yes, using the DVI to VGA adapter included with your G5 and a VGA to Macintosh Video adapter that you'll have to purchase elsewhere. Griffin has one (the Mac Connect) and you and probably find one elsewhere as well. For full information on monitor compatibility, see:
Power Mac G5: Display Compatibility

Camcorder compatible with mac

I am going to buy a new camcorder and was wondering if anyone could recommend any that is compatible with macs. I was looking at the Sony handycam CXR105E. Any ideas anyone?

Sorry, I posted too hastily!
As you are posting in the iMovie 6 forum I assume that is what you want to use to edit the video from the camera - it is not much 'compatibility with a Mac' that is the issue, it is more compatibility with the editing software you will be using.
As far as iMovie 6 is concerned it has to be a camera producing DV from tape and connected via firewire.
Post back if that didn't answer your question!

Yes. These days I prefer Brother printers. They appear to have engineered their printers with AirPrint as well as OS X compatibility from the start, unlike certain others who appear to have included it as an afterthought.
Brother's models are inexpensive, their ink is also inexpensive and lasts a long time, and their photo quality is at least as good as HP's. They have a two year warranty and lifetime free technical support with people who understand Apple.
Read the reviews (Amazon for instance, but be sure to read user reviews on the various manufacturer's websites as well) and decide for yourself.
If you require AirPrint compatibility, or if there is any possibility you may need it in the future, limit your search to printers that specifically indicate AirPrint compatibility.
Brother™ Monochrome Laser Printer and All-in-One models now support AirPrint.
Brother™ Color Inkjet All-in-One units now support AirPrint.
I have no affiliation with Brother but theirs was the first inkjet printer or "all-in-one" I have ever owned that simply works as well as the Macs I am accustomed to using. I positively detested every inkjet printer I ever had until I bought the Brother.
