Mini DVI and Mini DisplayPort are not the same thing!

I bought this "Mini DVI to DVI" adapter thinking it would hook up my Epson projector to the new MacBook Pro:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9321G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MjE0NTE2OA
BUT tonight I found out it is NOT the right thing. The adapter I need would be "Mini DisplayPort to DVI (or VGA)"
I found the full sized DVI ♂ and ♀ ends of the adapter and projector cord I do have don't "mate" right either. The pins have a slightly different arrangement!
I just want to warn anyone who might stumble in the same place. I'm off to my local Apple Store to return the adapter for one that will fit one of my projector inputs with a Mini DisplayPort plug on the other end.

Good call!! Thanks a million. Glad I asked & thanks for the quick response. I was getting frustrated. Thanks again!!!!!

  • Sent boxes in Gmail and in Mail are not the same

    Hi, I am using Gmail and Mail in OS X lion.  When I send a message through Gmail (on Firefox), the message is not in the sent box in Mail. The sent box in Mail keeps messages sent through only Mail. Is there any way to "synchronize" sent boxes in Gmail and Mail? Thanks,

    If you have the Gmail account set up in Mail correctly, you will have the Gmail IMAP folder at the bottom of the Mail sidebar. The Inbox will automatically synced with the Inbox folder, so it won't show up in the IMAP mailboxes.
    Highlight the sent mailbox under the IMAP folder, go to the main menu in Mail, click on Mailbox, scroll down to the "Use This Mailbox For", and select Sent. Do the same for others you want to see such as Trash.
    Also, select to store messages on the server in Mail preferences under Mailbox behaviors and set you delete time to your preferences.

  • How come the same apps that are available for my iPhone and my iPad are not the same as the apps in the app store on my mac

    I want some of the same apps available on my iphone and ipad2 to be available on my macbook pro app store and to be able to link them through icloud. Is this not possible? If not, why not?

    The Mac uses Mac OS X and iDevices use iOS. These are two different operating systems and the apps must be written for each operating system specifically, even when the apps go by the same name, such as the iWork apps, they are two ifferent versions of the same app for the two different platforms.
    So, as an example, Safari has been written for three different operating systems, Mac OS X, iOS and Windows. And the Safari apps, as similar as they are visually, are not interchangeable for the different platforms.

  • My iCloud mail account is messed up.  My Apple ID and iCloud ID are not the same.  My email address has changed. which I changed in my apple ID, but the iCloud is still referring to my old, non-existand account.  Can't guess passwords and it won't le

    Bottom line, I can'
    t get iCloud messages on my Apple iMac, iPhone or iPad2.  I dropped my original email account and went to gmail.  I changed my Apple ID to this gmail address on the Apple Store, etc.  I've also changed the Apple ID password a few times.  This worked fine until this week.  I believe I can get game messages (not sure all were delivered), but not iCloud messages.  It asks me for the iCloud password, which none work, and then goes back to my old
    apple ID and asked for a password.  It asks me to reset the password, which I click, but nothing happens.  How can I fix this so I know I'm getting all my messages?

    Hi rjt,
    Sounds like you did not delete the iCloud account on your device before you changed your ID. You will need to do the following:
    1.     Sign onto Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old ID (this is temporary - do not verify it, do not change the password): Apple - My Apple ID
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to delete the account. Use your current password when asked, follow the prompts to complete the deletion
    3.     Go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the new ID (you may need to verify it again)
    4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign onto iCloud with the new ID
    Cheers,

  • DDNS Lack of Options. Only DynDNS and TZO (which are now the same thing)

    DDNS is an open standard. Why not let us put in any URL for a DDNS server we want?  Or at least expand the list of them to the many many other DDNS providers out there.
    The buy in/bait and switch is:  those two free options went to one free option went to no free options: PAY THE MAN.
    That's not right.  We shouldn't be forced by your Firmware into a new fee arrangement that we didnt' have up front.
    Easy fix in the firmware, if you would...   

    I noticed that too. I guess most routers these days as well has already been following the same standard, which made me think that this aspect has definitely fallen as a product limitation. Right now, we are only torn of choosing between the providers supported by the routers.

  • Wiped my computer, backed it up, and some files are not the same

    I was having some touchpad related issues so I took my macbook pro (late 2011) to the apple store. There they initiated a wipe after having told them that I used a portable external hard-drive to back up my documents. I used migration assistant and everything seems to have backed up fine except for this one document that has all my class notes. The last note I have recorded is from the 5th of March when I used that document up until March 19. Is there any way I can recover the file from that date? Any advice/help would be much appreciated.

    Just to be clear what you are saying is put a test page live so it can be viewed online?
    You got it !  For the future, that's the best way we can see all your code and files.
    Since ther are no other links to the test page, the public won't stumble on it.
    Delete it once you have your answers.

  • Apple ID and iCloud Passwords are Not the Same

    iCloud uses a different password to login than my Apple ID which I use for iTunes and everything else I do with Apple. Can I change my iCloud password to match my Apple/iTunes ID or will that cause problems like those I've seen noted on forums? OR, is it a good idea to keep the passwords different since my Apple & iTunes ID is connected to my credit card?
    Note in Case this Applies: I am running iTunes 11.1 on my MacPro in OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and will upgrade to Mountain Lion in October and then Mavericks when it arrives (if stable). I am about to install iOS 7 on my iPhone 4s (64G) and iPad 4 (32G).

    Can I jump onto this discussion with a similar problem.
    I updated the OS on iPhone 5 and Ipad to get the latest security updates. Since then I cannot access my icloud account. I have tried changing the password and get to the point were I am sent a verification email and advised to;
    "Check your email and look for a verification email from Apple. Click on the Verify Now link and sign in with your new Apple ID and password". Unfortunately there is no "verify now link"
    Consequently I can no longer access my account. Any ideas?!

  • I transferred my iPhoto FACES to my mini iPad and: (a) they are not in the alphabetical order I had them in, (b) some of the FACES have been deleted, (c) the EVENTS I checked off in iTunes do not all appear in the iPad?

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there.
    Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A Finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache. Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

  • HT5621 Me and my daughter are using the same Apple id and we share the same iCloud account. I want to change her Apple id so that she will have her own icliid account and I will have mine. how do I do it?

    Me and my daughter are using the same Apple id and we share the same iCloud account. I want to change her Apple id so that she will have her own icloud account and I will have mine.
    1. how do I do it?
    2. how do I  transfer her stuff which is in my icloud storage to her new icloud account once this one is created?
    thanks,
    Ari

    To migrate her device to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep to her amera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If she is syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of the notes and email them to her so she can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in her new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload the data.
    Once you are on separate accounts you can each go to icloud.com from a computer and delete the other person's data from your account.
