Mini DVI to DVI doesn't fit DVI to ADC connector supplied with my machine

The DVI end of the ADC adapter has small pins above and below the blade side of the plug while the DVI end of the mini-DVI to DVI adapter has no openings to accept them. Both of these items were shipped to me by Apple with my 12" PB. Any suggestions?
I suspect someone must have encountered this but I didn't see it anywhere when I did a search.

My apologies. I confused an adapter from another company with an Apple product.

Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter doesn't fit my aluminum iMac

I previously had a 17" white iMac (pre-Intel) machine, and about 6 months ago I bought the mini-DVI to video adapter so I could connect it to my television. Worked like a charm. But I recently bought a new aluminum iMac, and the adaptor doesn't fit into the mini-DVI port in the back of the machine. It appears the adaptor and port are both male ends.
Has the port changed on the aluminum iMacs? The product description for the adaptor on Apple's website says it works with iMac (Intel Core Duo). Isn't the aluminum iMac an Intel Core Duo? I can't figure out why it doesn't fit and which cable I'm supposed to be using instead.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi Paul
Yes the Intel iMac [Spec's|http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMacMid2007.html] call for the (M9319G/A) Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter!

The iBook, eMac, or iMac G5 use the Mini-VGA to Video adapter.

New DVI-standard doesn't fit with old Apple adapter

I bought a new MBP i7 the last week and was very surprised when i noticed that the adapter i bought (Mini Display to DVI) doesn't fit with my old adapter (DVI to VGA). Apples new DVI-adapter us the DVI-D standard and that doesn't work well with teh DVI-I standard. When i talked with Apple and also with a Apple store they didn't know of any new DVI-standard and if there is an adapter (Mini Display to DVI-I). http://www.interfacebus.com/DesignConnector_Digital_Visual_Interface_DVIBus.html
Is there anyone out there who know if it is possible to buy this Mini Display to DVI-I (Dual)?

The Apple Mini-Displayport-to-DVI adapter is DVI-D because there is no analog signal emitted from the Mini-Displayport. The contacts the adapter lacks are the ones that would carry an analog signal, if there were any. If you want to connect your MBP to a device with a VGA input port, get a mini-displayport-to-VGA adapter.

I upgraded to mountain lion, now my mini dvi to hdmi doesn't work

I installed mountain lion and now my mini dvi to hdmi doesn't work. I did a disk permission repair, but that didn't help. Any suggestions?

My internet card will only work on 32bit,and it sounds like mountain lion only works on 64bit so that must be my problem. I think I will have to upgrade my internet or go back to lion.

DVI to HDMI doesn't work with Panasonic Monitor

Hi all,
I have a Panasonic monitor, model TH-50PX75U that we've used with my Macbook Pro. I have an DVI (large style) to HDMI cable that we connect the Macbook with, and it works fine.
I also have a MacPro that I want to use this monitor with. It has 1 full size DVI display port and 2 mini display ports. In the past I've used the DVI and one mini port to connect 2 monitors at once one the MacPro and it has worked fine.
I tried connecting the Panasonic monitor to use on my mid 2012 MacPro but I never get a picture. I reconnected one of the other monitors to a mini dispplay port and can see that the MacPro recognizes the Panasonic monitor. Both monitors show up in the Display section under System Preferences. I've tries various settings for the Panasionic monitor but I can never get anything to display on it.
What am I missing here? The MacPro is a mid 2012 with 3.2Gig Quad Core / 6 Gig ram / Radion 5770 graphic card, and runs ML 10.8.3.
Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks!
Ray

Ok, so I had time to do some testing and here's what I've done:
I plugged in my Macbook which does work on the Pana monitor, and looked at the Profile. I then compared it to the Profile on the Mac Pro. There are some differences which I'm guessing have to do with different HW. I'm going to include some photos of the working and not working monitor scenarios do you can see what I'm seeing.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make this work?
Photo1: Shows the Macbook and the Pana monitor together using DVI to HDMI cable to connect the two.
Photo2: Shows the display settings with the small monitor and Pana connected to Mac Pro. Notice there are no numbers in the diplays. Mirroring them doesn't work either. The small monitor is using a DVI to mini port adapter to connect to the graphics card, the Pana is using an HDMI to DVI cable (same one I used with the Macbook) to connect to the DVI port of the graphics card.
Photo3: Both monitors are on. The Mac Pro knows the Panasonic is there but I never get a display on it.

Mac Mini (Mid 2011) display artifacts HDMI to DVI at native res

Hello,
I recently changed monitor configurations and in the process moved my Mac Mini (Mid 2011) to a HP LP2065 monitor. The connection is made through the stock supplised HDMI to DVI adapter.   The monitor and the DVI cable work successfully with other machines.
What occurs is only certain colors, usually black, result in the display being red and/or sparkling and/or static (like TV static) when the monitor is set at its native resolution of 1600x1200.
If I bump the resolution down to 1280x1024, or lower, the black color returns and I see no display glitches.   If I bring the resolution back up to 1600x1200, the display artifacts return.
A few google searches suggest I use a DisplayPort to DVI adapter instead as some monitors are "finicky".   Does anyone agree with that? It seems peculiar to me -- why would a digital signal have analog-looking glitches?
Any ideas welcome.. thanks for reading

Your monitor has a native pixel resolution of 1920x1200. There is no point in trying for 1080-p or -i.
I run two 1920x1200 monitors via HDMI (with passive cable adapters where necessary) and I use these choices:
...and they are both pixel-sharp, filling the screen, and yet menu bars totally visible!

Mac-Mini HTPC Video-Out Problems (Component to DVI)

I recently decided to go with a Mac-Mini as the central-brain of my HTPC configuration, and I was immediately halted in the process of getting things working by my inability to properly output video from the Mac-Mini such that it's even visible on my 50" Plasma TV (Panasonic TH-50PHW3).
Neither of my A/V Receivers (Denon AVR-3805 & Denon AVR-2805) have HDMI inputs, but both of them have component video inputs for HD content, so I purchased the DVI-to-Component cable linked below to use for outputting video from my Mac-Mini to the Denon:
http://sewelldirect.com/DVI-to-Component-Adapter-Cable-6ft.asp
Needless to say, nothing I've tried has been effective in my Mac-Mini being displayed on my Plasma TV??
Any thoughts?

From other threads I see that others have tried and failed at this. The adapter cables don't work with the Mini (or other Macs as far as I know). Apparently you need a "transcoder" box. It will apparently take the DVI port's RGB signals and convert them to Y-Pb-Pr component signals.
The transcoders can also cost a couple hundred bucs. Check out some of the discussions at http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=824143
Here is a relatively cheap one that seems to work: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=63079 2&CatId=1430
Other option is to go with a S-Video adapter http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9267G/A but you will loose resolution.l

Mini Display to VGA adapter doesn't fit

I have an older(2008) MacBook and the MIni display to VGA adapter I purchased doesn't fit my book. Is there one that I can buy that will fit?

The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports.
Here's the various types of Mini-DVI to VGA adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_15?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=mini-dvi+to+vga&sprefix=mini-dvi+to+vga%2Caps%2C272

DVI shutting down my computer- if dvi adapter connected will not re-start

I have a G4 12" Powerbook running Leopard 10.5.4. I just noticed that when I plug in an adapter for external video into my DVI port the computer flashes a blue screen then asks if I want to shutdown. before I can answer it turns off. This happens whether a monitor is attached or not. If I try to restart with the DVI adapter attached the computer shuts down before the startup is complete.
I use to use external monitors a lot but have not for the last 2 months when I went to try it will not work. What could be wrong??

I installed the Mac OS X 10.7.3 Supplemental update 1.0 on 3/24/12 and now it won't wake from sleep when put to sleep from the Apple menu or energy saver time out. The not waking from sleep did not happen before the update. (Safari 5.1.4, Digital Camera Raw C ups 3.11, and iTunes updated at the same time) I didn't have any sleep problems with the previous 10.7.3 update install on 2/3/12
iMac 21.5 inch 2.5ghz i5 Mid 2011 Lion 10.7.3 11D50. Mouse and keyboard are hardwired, no bluetooth, no other USB or Firewire devices. I tried the PRAM and SMC resets, Bluetooth off, All Sharing off and nothing works.
Energy saver set to sleep = never, works for now; if it doesn't sleep - it can't wake from sleep, eh?
In any case: other users might consider holding off on the 10.7.3 update 1.0, because I didn't have the sleep problem before.
I'm wondering if I can revert to the previous version 10.7.3 with Time Machine, or if there is a fix I haven't come across searching the forums

Hi apple tv if I use my TV's DVI, but I use an HDMI-DVI converter

hi apple tv if I use my TV's DVI, but I use an HDMI-DVI converter

The TV you are using only has DVI, correct? Only HDMI is supported, there is no guarantee a converter will work and you will not be able to view iTunes, Netflix (or similar) content if your TV is not HDCP compliant.
The optical cable is for the sound (and if your receiver doesn't accept optical you would need a DAC) but is a non-issue if your TV can't accept the video.

Does a DVI to VGA adapter, and a DVI to DVI adapted do the same job?

A DVI to VGA adapter provides a conversion from DVI to VGA.
A DVI to DVI adapter, what is that? If the input is DVI and the output is DVI, what is the need for an adapter?
Tell us what you are trying to accomplish.

I have a MB Pro that is running Lion; I also have two external DVI monitors and a DVI splitter in hopes that I could run the two monitors with my MB Pro. This actually works fine, but I am unable to "extend" the desktop. Any insights?

You cannot have a extended desktop using a splitter. All that does is mirror the pair attached to the splitter.
You can do this however using a Matrox DualHead2Go.
Other solution would be to attach one monitor to your video out as you do the splitter and attach the other via USB (assuming the adapter supports the monitor's resolution).

Battery failure although my battery doesn't fit the exchange program?

hello there!
i know there have been a lot of threads about the battery life and failures in the macbook pro but i don't know which one fits my case...
my mbp is a week 13 and has no problems at all. i don't use the battery that often - by now i have 14 cycles.
my battery's serial number doesn't fit the exchange program but today happened this odd thing:
i used my mbp on battery for less than two hours and the battery symbol said that i still have about 50 minutes of battery power. all of a sudden it turned off (as described in many other threads) without any warning and i couldn't turn it on without plugging in the power cable. when i turned it on it started from deep sleep mode (dimmed desktop).
...of course i did reset the pram and stuff - but what is going on? as i said i don't meet the exchange program for faulty batteries but still it doesn't seem to work proper.
what can i do?
thanks in advance, guys!
j.

hi and thank you all for your replies so far!
over the weekend i took some screenshots showing the various total of mAh. i have no idea if that is normal like this? and the battery is behaving normal again, no random shutdown... you can find the images under the following link...
http://www.propaganda-pixel.de/mbp/mbp.htm
in addition i added a photo of my magsafe... now that it comes to the battery issue i got slightly concerned if this crimpy cord should be like this (not that this thing starts to melt on me!).
when i transport my mbp i wind the cord around those two hooks and i never pull the magsyfe by the cord out. but still it looks like this.
the power cord is from a week 10 macbook pro which i got exchanged for a week 13 but i had to keep the cord...
i know, this has nothing to do with the battery issue and no, i'm not paranoid - just now that i started this thread i thought i could add it...
so my questions are:
- shall i request a new battery considering the various mAh indications?
- shall i request a new power cord? or does mine look normal?
why i ask is because i don't want to request something when there is no need for a replacement.
thank you all!

Cable doesn't fit into back USB ports

My front USB port isn't working...everytime I plug a cable into it I get a message that reads "Power Surge on Hub Port" and it won't connect. My ports in the back are functioning, but I cannot connect my iPOd into them because the cord doesn't fit. Is there something I can buy (like a mini extension cord) that will connect them?
Please help I am so frustrated. thanks!

thanks so much for your help...
I'm using a Dell Computer (it has Optiplex GX270 written on it) with Windows XP. If you need more info just tell me where to find it.
Even when I plug in a USB cable (one that isn't connected to a device), the message still appears. The iPod connector does fit in the front, but not the back ones. I know the back ones work because I plugged a camera into one in the back and it worked, (it didn't in the front).
I would just use the back ports for my iPod too but the cable is a little different and won't work. I think there is excessive plastic on the connector?
