Mini dvi to vga wont fit

just bought the cable but it doesent seem to plug in maybe theres a different cable

I use the mini-DVI to DVI cable with my BlackBook and it fit perfectly. Not to belabor the obvious, but the cable is keyed to fit only one way. Did you try turning it over to see if it would fit that way?

  • Mini dvi to vga adapter doesn't fit Mac Book port

    I bought a "mini dvi to vga" adapter at the local Apple store at the mall and it does not fit the mini DVI connection on my Mac Book. What is the correct mini dvi configuration or part number for the Mac Book Mini dvi port?

    It may be. I threw the bag out so I can't check. I was in a hurry and thought I picked up the right adapter but guess not.
    Thanks for your help. Know anyone that needs a mini vga to vga adapter?

  • Tv wont recognize mini DVI to VGA cable

    Okay so I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro with the Intel 4000 graphics card. I also had a Mini DVI to VGA cable from my previous macbook. I plugged it into my new macbook hooked a VGA cable to my Panisonic LED, but my TV wont recongize my computer. It won't let me change to the "PC" input unless it can recognize an input. I went into System Setting>display>arrangement and played around with no pravale. I read some previous posts about having to reset the computer with it adapter plugged in, didn't work. Does anyone have a solution?

    You need a VGA male-to-male cable to connect the Apple mini-DVI to VGA adapter to your LCD TV:

  • Mini-dvi to VGA not working

    Hi,
    I've searched in the discussions forae to see if this issue has happened before, but it doesn't seem so.
    I have a new MacBook 13 in duo 2 and tried connecting a secondary display with a mini-dvi to vga adapter that I bought 2 years ago....and it doesn't work! No image appears on the second display and when I press detect display on the display preference panel, nothing happens.
    Does any mini DVI adapter work (the one that fits with a U connection)? Or maybe I need a newer one?
    Pablo

    I don't know what part number it is (it doesn't have a number anywhere), but it fits in the Mini DVI port. I would assume that any adapter that fits should work. If it doesn't work,then maybe the adapter is broken.....or my video output is broken!
    I'll try to get another one a test it.

  • Mini DVI to VGA issues w/ LCD HDTV

    I have looked all over and I can't find a solution.
    I recently purchased an LCD HDTV, Insignia Brand which is a Best Buy Brand, and I bought a DVI cable to hook up to my Powerbook G4 using the Mini DVI to VGA cable. When I hook it up to my tv it works, but the screen on my Powerbook looks magnified as does the LCD TV. When I launch Safari or any other program it doesn't fit on my screen or the LCD TV and I have to resize it.
    After I look at displays in system prefernces it says my max resolution is 1024 x 768.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Jeremy

    Just guessing - the TV's "VGA" input is limited to 1024x768, which is possible although some "VGA" inputs will work higher. Do the instructions mention a limitation like this?
    I think if you turn off mirroring on the Powerbook, at least the Powerbook screen will have normal resolution, and the TV 1024x768. The TV apparently scales up image to fill the screen unless using HDMI, where is leaves the extra 342 pixels blank on the sides (1366-1024). Perhaps the TV has a mode for adjusting how the TV handles lesser resolutions (stretch, dot-by-dot, etc)

    To see which model youhave go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion).When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.

  • Mini DVI to DVI to HDMI Vs Mini DVI to VGA

    When I connect my MacBook to my LG 32" HD Ready LCD TV via Mini DVI to DVI connector and DVI to HDMI cable, image is sharp but color seems very pale and washed out. However, when using Mini DVI to VGA connection, colors are brilliant, though images via DVI are sharper.
    I tried calibrating the display but couldn't achieve the brilliant colors of the VGA connection.
    Is this normal? Any solution for this?
    I'm also connecting my PS3 to my TV via HDMI and don't have this problem.

    Hey Guys,
    I am having a very similar problem.
    I have a 35" Westinghouse LCD TV (not the best I know but I'm a college student). I had been using a VGA adapter/cable in order to use my TV as a monitor, but I decided to upgrade (or so I thought) to a digital signal so I purchased a Mini-Dvi to HDMI adapter, etc.
    Here's the problem:
    My display settings on my MacBook for my LCD TV only allow me to choose either '1280 x 720' or '1920 x 1080'. My TV cannot support the higher resolution so when I chose the '1920 x 1080' setting, the picture comes up with good color quality, but the actual image looks over compressed and does not fill up the screen. When I choose the '1280 x 720' setting, the image resolution looks great, EXCEPT the colors are way off, faded, washed out, etc.
    This is problem is so frustrating because I can get the resolution to look good OR the color to look good, bot never both. I have read several forums that touch on a similar issue and have tried all types of monitor calibration but I can't get the color to look normal when the resolution is right.
    I just don't understand why the only resolution that fits that of my TV has terrible color??
    Help would be greatly appreciated.

  • No video signal using mini dvi to vga adapter.

    I just bought a macmini,the last generation. Separately I bought on the apple store a mini dvi to vga adapter because when I bought the macmini I forgot to buy that....once the adapter arrived I tried to turno on the mini,everything seems to be normal,the mini works,the audio signal is normal and after the startup it asks me to choose the language,but the screen says there's no INPUT SIGNAL. I tried another mini dvi to vga adapter,the vga wire works with my pc so I didn't try another one,I tried the reset of the mini,nothing....do I have to try with "miniport to vga" adapter or is there something else I can try?

    I got my Mac Mini yesterday and I am having the exact same problem as you are having.
    I've tried on two different TV's but it is just not sending a signal. Is it faulty?

  • No Apple Remote or Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adaptor included with new MacBooks

    Hi!
    I just picked up a new (black) MacBook yesterday from the Apple Retail Store in Meadowhall (Sheffield). I was quite surprised to open the box and find that the Apple Remote and Mini-DVI to VGA adaptor cable are now optional items and no longer included in the package. Okay, they're not expensive (an extra £30.00 to add both of them), but I just thought I'd mention it to let potential customers know.
    I have to say that I'm very pleased at the speed bump and the 250GB hard drive though (you can never have too much space). Also good to have 2GB RAM out of the box (rather than paying an extra £90.00 for the 2GB model). Excellent!

    bford0001 - 15% restocking fee? Did you buy it from an Apple Retail store? I bought a black MacBook from them just under two weeks ago (a 2.2 with 160GB HD and 2GB RAM) and they let me take it back and walk out of the store without charging me anything!
    One other thing I have noticed - why has the L2 cache dropped to 3MB from 4MB? I know the processor is more powerful, but doesn't that mean it would just about level out, because of the reduction? I noticed the same for the £1,299.00 MacBook Pro and that on the other two models, it's gone up to 6MB. Anyone know how this would change the performance?

  • Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter

    I purchased a Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter for my MacBook (early 2008).
    When I plug the cable into my MacBook it works fine, I have to drag the browser from my macBook onto my LCD using the curser. But when I do this with iTunes and I want to watch a film or music video there is no sound. Does anyone have any ideas of how to solve this problem or if im using it right.
    Please help.

    Ah. Okay. Well you need to output the sound from your MacBook to your TV. You need another cable to carry the audio. You can use an 1/8 mini audio to TOSLINK (if your TV supports optical audio input) or 1/8" to RCA audio (those red/white cables).

  • Mini DVI to VGA Adapter Issues

    Hey guys,
    My first ever post to the forums. I just recently bought my very first apple computer. It is a 2.4 ghz Macbook 13" and bought a Mini DVI to VGA Adapter so that I can connect it to my 46" Sharp AQUOS TV. I connect my laptop with the dvi to vga adapter plus another vga cable of course and all I get on the screen is my wallpaper but I can't see any of the icons on my tv screen, nothing.
    Can anyone help me on this? Does this sound like a familiar problem?
    I would appreciate your help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dogan

    Hi DoDolom,
    First, welcome to Macintosh!
    Secondly, it sounds to me like what's happened is that OS X has extended your desktop onto a second monitor. Plug in an external mouse and keyboard and then close the MacBook's lid. It will go to sleep. Use the external mouse/keyboard to wake it up and you should be running on just the external display.

  • Mini- DVI to VGA adapter Or is that, DVI to DVI?

    I am having difficulty figuring out which adapter to purchase if I want to use my MacBook to make a Keynote or PowerPoint Presentation with an LCD projector.
    Do I need the Mini- DVI to VGA adapter, or is it DVI to Video adapter, or DVI to DVI adapter? Good grief! I've made fabulous-looking slides and just want to take my computer to the lecture hall, connect it to their projector, and give my talk. How does one decide which cable to get, if I don't know for certain what kind of projector they are using?
    Aren't all LCD projectors standardized this way?
    Thanks for the clarification.
    ~ john

    As mentioned, VGA is much more common than DVI is on projectors, so the mini-DVI to VGA will certainly work more often than the mini-DVI to DVI will.
    It costs $19USD, so I would get both and use the best option available to you when you get to the location and see what kind of projector they have.
    You also may want to pack the VGA and a DVI cable just in case. You never know if the location will have one on hand, or if it gets misplaced just in time for your arrival.

  • Mini DVI to VGA Adapter w/ extension cable

    I would like to get a Mini DVI to VGA Adapter for my macbook. Does anyone know how it would would if I used it with a VGA extension cable. Any experience will be helpful

    Depends on how long the cable is, and if it was of sufficient quality for computer use. The higher resolutions require better quality and shorter cables. You may get some signal loss for long cables. A standard monitor cable that comes with a computer monitor should be fine, but what kind of length extension cable are you talking about?
