Monster iTV Link Cable

hey there all,
just been reading some posts & thought i'd pass this along. i've been using a Monster Cable to connect my MacBook to my Olevia 26" 16:9 LCD HD monitor/TV. it's the iTV Link cable for the old 12" PowerBook, which also had video out over a mini-DVI connector. the cable is 10 feet long, has a mini-DVI + 1/8" stereo plug on the Mac end & an S-Video + 2 RCA plugs on the TV end. i've set my MacBook for extended desktop & use the external monitor w/ Final Cut Express to display the Canvas. i know it's not the greatest for "real serious work" but to be able to be in bed & work on a project from an external FW hard drive as opposed to going downstairs & firing up the "Big Mac" it's pretty cool, also for watching a DVD on the bigger screen. & once i set the extended desktop it's easier to work in FCE as opposed to sending signal over firewire to my cam/deck then to a TV, because the MacBook sees the TV as 2nd computer display(it shows the desktop wallpaper). the TV is set as follows: resolution 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz(NTSC), millions of colors. the TV is also set @ fullscreen from it's menu. the MacBook is set @ max native resolution 1280 x 800, millions of colors.
i got 2 cables from CompUSA($15.00/ea.) less than 1/2 the original list price. probably because there are no more 12" P'Books & they think they have no market for them & want to get 'em out of inventory. iTV Link cable might also work for MacBook presentations using a Projector.
hope this helps someone.

Monster ITV Link

HI guys
after seeking advice from apple over the phone as to the best way to connect my macbook to my TV they advised I get a Monster ITV Link cable with a scart adapter. The picture displays by using this but in black and white, is there anything I can do?
Thank you for your help

IPhone 32 GB 3GS TV output with Monster iTV Link

I have used my Monster iTV Link cable http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=3897 to connect my 80GB 5th generation ipod (through the dock port on the bottom) to my Chevy Avalance's AUX Video input via left, right audio and video plug. When using my old ipod and selecting a video it will automatically ask for "TV out" on or off. I switch it to "TV on" and my ipod plays through the cable into my AUX Video input with great video and audio quality in my vehicle. I tried the exact same thing using my new iphone 32GB 3GS and nothing happens. It does not ask to select "TV on" It plays through the iPhone speakers as if it wasn't connected to anything.
When using the mini jack input from my 5th generation iPod and my new iPhone 3GS into the vehicle AUX audio jack input the result is the same. Both play through the vehicle speakers. However, the mini jack audio quality is noticeably inferior to the dock port on the bottom of the devices.
Why don't both play through the AUX video input?
I tried changing the settings in my iPhone (NTSC & PAL) with no luck?
The website for Monster says the cable is for "iPod Video" is it possible the cable is not iPhone compatible?
How do I get my new iPhone to play through the bottom dock port to my left right audio, video, input?

Older video cables are not compatible with the iPhone. The Apple A/V cables are:

Using Monster iTV Link to connect to 42" Plasma

I have a 12' G4 iBook bought in October 2003.
I want to use the Monster iTV Link cable to play DVDs from te iBook and display them through my Panasonic Viera 42" Plasma TV.
Are there any issues I should be aware of, or is this a straightforward
process?
Any advice at all would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kieran

Check out the resolution of your plasma. As i can assume it is wide screen... Also try to connect it via regular monitor cable. Besides this adapter goes with your laptop. It will be much better. DO NOT FORGET THAT YOUR iBook IN STANDARD MODE COULD WORK WITH EXTERNAL TV OR MONITOR IN MIRRORING MODE ONLY. To unlock possibility to work in extended desktop mode you could use SSD (Screen Spanning doctor). Suggesting you to use it as resolution of your laptop monitor and plasma is different.
Ask if something is not clear.

Monster iTV Link for Macbook- Mini-DVI ports different...

I have been watching movies etc. on my TV through my 14" G4 iBook for the last year using the Monster iTV Link with the mini-DVI end. I recently bought a Macbook and expected to do the same with it, but the mini-DVI ports are a different shape!
I have scoured the internet for some information on different mini-DVI ports but have come up short. Can someone explain why Apple would install a different mini-DVI port on the Macbook? Or not install an S-video?
Regardless of why they did this, I now need a new adapter or Monster needs to make a new iTV Link cable for Macbook. Has anyone seen an iTV link for Macbook? Is there one out there I can use?
I am assuming my other option is to buy the mini-DVI to video adapter, use the audio part of the Monster cable I currently have and get a S-Video cable. However before I acquire more cables and adapters...
Can someone confirm that the the Mini-DVI end of the Mini-DVI to Video adapter is the correct shape (version) for the MacBook.
THANKS

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It would appear the Monster guy is confused what cable you got. The iTV cable I bought up on Google has the standard round-din S-Video connector found on 15" and 17" Powerbook G4s of the same generation, but I don't think that is found on the 12" Powerbook. What you need is a DVI to S-Video connector to hook up the iTV cable from all indications.

Monster iTV Link for 13-inch MacBook and 12-inch PowerBook

Does anyone knows or the Monster iTV Link for 13-inch MacBook and 12-inch PowerBook even work with the imac intel-based mini-dvi port?

I went with the crucial 512 SSD. It will push your budget just a tiny bit more as with tax and shipping it came to about $834 but oh man what a difference this makes! My MBP sprang to life with this SDD... Everything simply pops open instantly.
www.crucial.com
On transferring, I suggest the following:
Get a copy of SuperDuper
Buy an external case for your internal drive.
Install SuperDuper on your current HD (before swapping)
Perform the HD/SSD swap, so your SSD is in the MBP, your HD is now in the external case.
Plug in the external HD and power up holding down option. You should be presented with a choice of boot drives (DVD and your external). Boot off your external. Once OS is loaded, use Disk Utility to format and initialize your SSD. BECAREFUL that you initialize the SSD and NOT the external HD!!!
Now run SuperDuper, clone from the external to the internal SSD. It might take an hour or so to do this. When complete. Power down, disconnect the external and reboot. If you've done everything right your computer should come up on the SSD but basically will look exactly like your old drive.
You're good to go. Use it a few days and make sure everything is good, then you can format your external and use it for general purpose storage!
I'm not sure this will work on the 13" but these guys: www.mcetech.com make a bracket that you can remove your internal DVD and install your old HD inside. This way you have your SSD + your old HD installed at all times. You move your DVD to an external case. I did this in my MBP 15 so now I have basically a 1 TB laptop. My main drive is the SSD but for storage of stuff I don't use all the time I have the HD which is also 512gb. Pretty cool. For me I didn't use the internal DVD that much so having it in an external case was just fine.

Using iTV Link

The cable MONSTER iTV Link is compatible with the iPOD Classic 80GB to view videos and photos on a TV?

No. You need a cable from Apple.

IPhone TV out w/ iTV Link Monster Cable

Purchased the Monster Cable iTV Link, how do I set my iPhone to use this for watching my movies on my TV? I cannot find any info in the user manual. Please help.

Yes, that is what you need (they also sell a similar, component out cable. I have both of them and they work great).
If you feel like spending another $50 (g) you might want to consider the universal dock as well:

When you plug in the composite video cable to this and then dock your iPhone you can control the playback via the supplied remote. It only does stop/start and FF FB, but it's still very handy for controlling what you see from across the room. It's also easier to simply dock the phone rather than try and connect the composite cable to it.
I bought two of them to pair with my composite and component cables, and it's very very cool to watch videos from your phone on a large TV (I have one connected to a 38" TV and the picture is every bit as good as DVD). The slideshow also works, along with YouTube (but nothing else, so don't think you can simply view Safari through this).

Monster cable itv link

Hi
I was just wondering if I can use the MonsterCable iTV Link wire to connect my MacBook to a television like I used to do with my iBook G4 14"? Do I need some sort of adapter?
Thanks.

Hi.
I have problems with connecting the cable.
The cable i have used to connect straight into the audio jack and mini-VGA (as I've learned here) of my iBook. which looks like this:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/2b/Mini-VGA.jpg/300px-Mini-VGA. jpg
My MacBook has a port, but I understand it is a mini-DVI port like in this picture
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Kobushi-mini-dvi.jpg/30 0px-Kobushi-mini-dvi.jpg
So I guess I need some sort of mini-VGA to mini-DVI adapter.

No display when connect DVI-D dual link cable

Hi
I am using MS-6398 motherboard and I have the latest Bios 5.60. when I connect DVI-D dual link cable from ATI All-In-Wonder 8500DV graphic card to my SONY SDM-M81 Flat Panel. There is no display at all during POST as well as after boot up. It has display only if I connect with regular analog VGA cable. I have contacted the ATI tech support and they ask me to contact the manufacturer of my motherboard because it don't have display during POST which is nothing to do with driver.
thanks,
Siong

DVI-D port on the Ultradock is single link only.
If you need DVI-D at dual link resolution (i.e. 2560x1600), you need an active displayport to dual link converter. Startech makes them, they should be around 80 USD or something of that region.

Need the AD Link cable for SB X-Fi and other models. Anyone have an unneeded one?

Need the AD Link cable for SB X-Fi and other models. Creative is out of stock & discontinued. Anyone have an unneeded one? TIA.

This will do it perfectly. http://www.cableyourworld.com/prodde...?prod=CYW-1755
I once swapped such a cable with the one supplied by Creative because I needed a few extra inches of length. Therefore my recommendation is no gamble, it is a certainty. The only reason I would anticipate failure is if the PIN 1 matching is not performed on both the sound card and I/O bay. I have also seen people turn the cable upside down as well.

No digital audio out with mini TOS Link cable.

In the past I've been able to play audio through my Onkyo receiver and speakers using a mini TOS Link cable. However, today when i plugged the cable in no audio is being sent.
Things I've discovered:
1) Audio works for other devices plugged into the same input on the receiver.
2) The audio plays on the internal Macbook speakers. When I plug in the TOS Link cable during playback it just goes silent.
3) In the Sound control panel, the output does change to Digital Out. (so the Macbook recognizes the cable)
4) The red light comes out of the end of the cable that plugs into the receiver.
5) The receiver normally makes a click sound and switches to a proper sound mode when it detects a digital signal. It does not do when I plug in the TOS Link cable.
I have rebooted, reset the pram, repaired permissions.

I am having this same problem, any ideas? Troubleshooted the cord, the mini adapter, the reciever, no dice. It has to be something with software, I had a hard drive crash and it worked before, but not now.

Ad-link cable for Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic and Sound Blaster X-Fi I/O Consol

I have both, new pc came with sound card and bought console over ebay which came without cable to connect the two. Can anyone help to locate the missing ad link cable? Have spoken to Creative tech support and they say they don't stock any. Maybe someone has one lying around?!?! Have an audigy zs platinum pro fully funtional with hub to swap or sell.
thanks,
Ilka

On the control pod for the speakers, just press the input button until it reads "Direct" on the display. then the same goes for the effect button, press it until the effect is "Direct" from there you can run the Creative diagnostics and do the speaker test so you can make sure you have them pluged in correctly. then mess with the effects however you like

Z3 600 Aspire Link Cable what is it for

musicpuppet,
Are you referring to the HDMI cable that comes with the system? If you are, it is for the HDMI-In connection on the unit if you want to connect an external to it and use it like a monitor.

Thanks for the response.
I'm familiar with the typical Textedit use but it seems strange that someone would have inserted code for a menu item that doesn't do anything.
In TextEdit, and I assume applications using the same core technology, the feature of links shows up clearly in the same format. The Safari/Camino use of the term shows up in a different place so I assume someone had to be intentional about including it?
Thanks.
