NB550D - VGA female to HDMI male adaptor

Hello,
I need to connect my Toshiba netbook NB550D to a male VGA cable (this is for projection on screen).
I figured I need an VGA female to HDMI male adaptor. However, I am unable to find any.
Has anybody faced this problem before?
All I was able to find is an HDMI male to DVI female. I'm considering buying a VGA female to DVI male (not easy to find either), but it sounds a bit cumbersome.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

> Excuse my ignorance, but when I bought this computer I specifically asked this questions and the seller assured me that it was possible and that all I needed was the rigth adaptor
Well, its possible of course but there is a difference between
- sending the signal from VGA to HDMI and
- sending the signal from HDMI to VGA.
Its not possible to convert the analogue into digital but it should be possible to convert digital into analogue signal
So I assume you want send from HDMI to VGA. Right.
Well, this should be possible but using a HDMI to VGA like this one:

Connecting to an LCD HDTV: DVI to HDMI male or female?

Unwilling to plunk down $40 at Best Buy I bought a cable advertised on eBay for $2 described as HDMI male to DVI male. However, when I got it, it turned out to be DVI male to HDMI FEMALE.
I want to be able to use my LCD HDTV (46" Sharp Aquos, 1080p, if it matters) as a monitor, hopefully to even and edit text using my wireless keyboard and mouse.
Do I have the right cable?

you'll need a male DVI to male HDMI To connect to your HDTV. You'll find good cable prices at monoprice.com , only place I buy cables. My mini is hooked up to my Aquos too and it looks great.

DVI-I female to ADC male

I have an ancient Apple cinema display, 20", that I would like to connect to an 3-year-old Mac Book Pro. I need an adaptor for DVI-I female to ADC male. I'm not sure such a thing exists, and perhaps I need to cobble this together by connecting multiple adaptors. Any suggestions?

You need more than a simple adapter. You need the Apple DVI to ADC Adapter which is a powered adapter that is no longer sold by Apple. They can be found on the secondary market, or if you are lucky as new old stock somewhere at a retailer.

Is this possible? USB (female) to ADB (male) converter?

It's 2015, and increasingly, ADB keyboards and mice are becoming rarer to find, more expensive and, sadly, in increasingly poor condition. With the abundance of USB keyboards on the market, it would be nice to have the opportunity to use a relatively inexpensive, easily accessible USB keyboard on my old Macs. Has there ever been any attempt to create a USB (female) to ADB (male) converter? Or perhaps a PS/2 to ADB converter? Is this an engineering impossibility, or might there be some hope with a bit of effort? Thanks!

I've seen an 1987 Apple Keyboard (the first gen ADB) on eBay where someone soldered a USB port and replaced the ALPS chip and it could work on any generic USB driver. It's pretty cool, but I'll try to find a link to that.
The only way without replacing chips/soldering is to get Alphasmart ADB/USB adaptor as this is describing what you want it to do. (The Alphasmart device was very popular in schools back in the day, and ex Apple engineers started up that company hence the strong Apple connectivity.)
In fact it's probably cheaper than the iMate, probably $10 to 15 less than an iMate. I think people charge a real high premium on those. It beats the iMate, and all you do is plug the ADB to the keyboard (like the Alphasmart) and the USB to the USB port on the PC/Mac. No need for a separate ADB cable like in the case of the iMate.

27" iMac, HDMI/DisplayPort adaptor, LCD TV as an output monitor

I'd like to know few things before I dive into the world of FCP/FCE.
Is it possible to set your Samsung 52" Hi-def LCD TV to act as your output monitor (or secondary screen however you call it) from the DisplayPort on the 27" iMac? If so, how do you set it up?
Basically I'd like to view what I'm working on the FCP out to the 52" TV as if I'm watching the HD cable TV.
I already bought the HDMI/DisplayPort adaptor (1080p) made by Kanex. It's also designed to carry digital audio through the USB.
I did manage to duplicate the Mac's desktop on the TV but the image quality wasn't what I'd expect from the 1080p HD. I am using the hackable Panasonic GH1 camera.
Anyway I did try to set it up for the iMovie but couldn't.
I went to a few Apple Stores nearby but no one could answer my question.
I'd appreciate your expertise.
Thanks.

The display port sends out a COMPUTER signal. Even if you convert it to HDMI, it is still a computer signal, and not a VIDEO signal. Different characteristics. And the computer image isn't the proper gamma, it doesn't show interlacing properly among other things.
For proper video monitoring, like you'd see it on your TV from the cable service, you need an HD Input/Output device, like Matrox, AJA, Decklink, MOTU. Unfortunately with an iMac, your choices are VERY limited, if they work at all. The MOTU V4HD is your only option, as it uses a firewire interface, and doesn't take over the FW bus (Unlike the AJA IO HD).
What you have might be fine just to see things bigger, but not good for any critical judging of your image.

Looking for 30-pin female to lightning male extender

I purchased an iHome clock radio with 30-pin dock back when I had an iPhone 4. Since upgrading to the iPhone 5 and then the iPhone 6+, I've been unable to use the dock. I'd like to find a 30-pin female to lightning male adapter, but I'd like one that has a lightning extender in place of a standard lightning male connector. I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid case on my iPhone 6+ and I'm afraid that a standard lightning adapter will not work without first removing the Spigen case, something I'd prefer to avoid. I know that there are 30-pin female to lightning male cables, but I was hoping to find an adapter/extender. Does such a thing exist? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Chris! After reading a little further, I'm now leaning toward a cable since others have said that a dock extender can sometimes place stress on the lightning port. Since my iPhone can be placed on the table next to my clock radio when using a cable, this is probably the best solution. I have been using a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable between the clock radio and my iPhone for audio and the usual lightning power cord for charging, but I thought I might eliminate one cable by getting a dock extender cable. I appreciate your help.

Hdmi Lightning Adaptor

HI all
I am about to purchase an 8pin HDMI lightning adaptor for my iPad air, however having read some reviews I'm not sure if it will meet my expectations of being able to stream my favourite shows from BBC iPlayer etc... Also I would like to know if this works on a jailbroken device and if so to what extent will there be restrictions to mirroring.
Im really not sure wether to purchase this product or AppleTV. IF you have any other cheaper alternatives please let me know.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

It should work fine unless the site you are trying to display has blocked streaming it to your TV. I prefer using the Apple TV and avoiding the adapter and the cable.
Can't help you with your questions on a jailbroken device you need to go to a site for whichever one you are using and ask your questions.

Hi, can i use a mini dvi male to vga female adaptor for my 2011 mac mini?

Is a mini dvi the same as a mini display/thunderbolt which my new mac mini has?
The monitor is a vga only.

You'll need a > Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.) for a VGA monitor.

HDMI/DVI adaptor to VGA on Monitor - No Picture

Same with Thunderbolt/DVI adaptor to VGA on monitor. Is it the adaptor to DVI/VGA cord that is making the problem?
System Information sees the Monitor(Sony Bravia TV)
Display Preferences sees my dual display set up
The computer acts as if I have two screens running
But no picture on the monitor with the signal path described above

Welcome to the wonderful world of copy protection.
Your display may not be on the "approved" list, or was removed from it.
Apple's newer Mac lines include a form of digital copy protection that will prevent protected media, such as DRM-infused iTunes movies, from playing back on devices that aren't compliant with the new priority protection measures.
The Intel-developed technology is called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and aims to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across a variety of display connectors, even if such copying is not in violation of fair use laws.
Apple has apparently acquired a license for the technology and is now using it across its lines to to prevent transmission of purchased iTunes content to devices that don't include support for HDCP.
The problem can often be solved by using an HDMI to Component Video adapter. Many believe that Component Video will give you a better picture than HDMI without any of the hassles of HDCP.

Can someone recommend a Mini Displayport Female to HDMI cord/adapter?

I would like to get an Apple 27" to use with my PC, which has both HDMI and DVI inputs. Thanks!

Please clearify which Apple 27" display you want to connect. Is the the 2010 model which uses a mini-displayport. Or is it the current thunderbolt model.
If it's the TB model you're out of luck. You cannot connect a TB device to anything other that TB.
Confusing Mini DisplayPort with Thunderbolt
I generally recommend monoprice.com for cables and components. But a female mini-displayport adaptor to hdmi may be a problem to find.
Note, for DVI, if you want to use a 27" to it's full resolution you need dual-link DVI if you decide to use a DVI port. Also DVI does not pass audio.

VGA female-to-female

I have a monitor that I would like to hook up into my G4 VGA slot. But the problem is the monitor has a male VGA port on the back instead of a cord. Does anyone know where to get a female to female VGA cord (for a reasonable price) or some other alternative way to solve this problem?

The graphics card has a female VGA connector, so you will need a M-F or M-M VGA cable, depending on the monitor's connector. Computer stores, or Radio Shack should have them.

How to connect an older MacBook Pro with mini VGA port to HDMI?

I have an older MacBook Pro with a female mini VGA port. I would like to watch movies which have been downloaded to my laptop on my flat screen TV. Newer MacBook Pros have a mini DisplayPort for which Belkin makes a cable to use; however, I have not been successful in finding either an adapter or converter to use with my older laptop.
FYI. Am currently using Leopard but am upgrading to Snow Leopard.

I believe you naeed the Apple ADC to DVI adapter.

Mini dvi to VGA adapter to HDMI cable

i have a mini dvi to vga adapter for my macbook (bought in 2007) and that works but I want to connect to hdmi cable to this? But don't exactly know how to do this or if it is possible?

It is my understanding that 'VGA' is analog and HDMI is digital....from what I have read it won't work without a convert
I use a Mini DVI to DVI adapter and then a DVI to HDMI adapter to run the HDMI cable to to TV
the converter...VGA to HDMI...

DVI to HDMI
http://store.apple.com/us/product/TR842LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTA4NDU1Mjk
Personally I would shelf the VGA adapter and go with the new cable set up...if you already have the HDMI cable then an adapter from DVI to HDMI would be in order

No HDMI or MiniDP-to-VGA output, but HDMI-to-DVI is okay

I purchased my Mac Mini almost a week ago and I've been having strange issues with getting my various monitors to work with it.
I don't own any Thunderbolt or native MiniDisplayPort monitors, however I do have a number of VGA monitors, as well as some HP LP2475w monitors which have VGA, DVI (DVI-D and DVI-A), HDMI, and DisplayPort inputs.
When I have OS X installed on my Mac Mini, the Apple MiniDP-to-VGA adapter works with my VGA monitors, but only when OS X has loaded. My monitors all say "no signal" during the boot-up phase. However I had no problems when I connect my LP2475w monitors to the Mac Mini via the HDMI-to-DVI adapter: I see the grey screen during bootup, can see/access the boot menu, and everything works fine.
Today I purchased a HDMI cable to connect the Mac Mini to my LP2475w monitors to see if that would work. Well, it does work... almost, sometimes, but not most of the time.
When I use a direct HDMI connection my LP2475w says there's no signal, unless I plug the cable in during the text-mode portion of Windows' bootloader (under Boot Camp). As soon as Windows loads, or during the grey-screen bootup section my monitors all say there's no signal. There is nothing wrong with the cable or my monitors.
Here's a table:
Connection
Can see boot screen/boot menu
Can see OS X (when loaded)
Can see Windows (when loaded)
HDMI from Mac Mini to LP2475w
No
Not tested
No
HDMI-to-DVI from Mac Mini to LP2475w
Yes
Yes
Yes
MiniDP-to-VGA from Mac Mini to VGA monitor
No
Yes
No
So what's going on here then?
Has anyone else had the same problems as me?

SOLVED - I purchased a third-party MiniDP to DVI adapter instead and it works a treat.
Quite what the difference can be to a supposedly passive adapter I'm unsure - but glad it's fixed anyhow.
