Philips TV and MiniDVI-VGA

I bought a MiniDVI to VGA adaptor to connect my 32plf9705h/12 TV (Philips) to my macbook and with much disappoint, i realised that it's not working.
All the cables are brand new, and everything is working with a PC monitor and a Samsung HD-Ready TV... the problem is only with my philips tv (of course it works with other notebooks so the problem is not on the vga port itself).
What do you suggest? I've read something about it here and googleing it, but haven't find any solution yet.
Can you please help me?
I dont want to buy another adaptor to HDMI... I'd like to solve the problem with this VGA adaptor
Is apple working on this bug?
PS My laptop is a Macbook late 2007 with Lion 10.7.3 on it

Do not use apple names.. use SMB compliant network names.. ie.. short, 3-10 characters if possible.. no spaces.. and pure alphanumeric.
Test with no security.. if it doesn't work without security it will never work.
You can give a different name to 2.4ghz and 5ghz.. eg tc24ghz and tc5ghz and apply fixed channels to 2.4ghz.. try in turn 11, 6, 1
In Europe you can replace 11 with 13.

  • Connect two external monitors to mini DP(using a mini DP to VGA adapter) and the VGA out at once

    I am trying to  connect two external monitors to mini DP(using a mini DP to VGA adapter) and the VGA out at once. Windows recognize both monitors as well. But it dowsn't let me use all three monitors at once(see the below image). In the dropdown, it lists all three monitors. Problem is there are two active displays I can select.

    The GPU(s) in your T400 (and most other laptop brands) will support two different displays concurrently.  If you want to support more than two different displays concurrently, you will need another GPU external to the T400.
    Generally, if you want to use two external displays on a T400 you will nee dto use a docking station.
    I have read messages on various fora on this topic and know that there are a number of ways of doing this, but as I have never had a need to do this myself I can't tell you how to go about it.

  • Importing and Exporting Video VHS and MiniDV

    I just recently purchased an iMac 27-inch 3.1GHz (2TB Serial ATA Drive / 256GB Solid State Drive / 16GB Memory). I am interested in converting my family videos from my Sony camcorder (MiniDV) and VHS/DVD player.
    I would prefer not to spend tons of money but I don't want poor quality either.
    I have the Adobe Master Collection with the video software components. I can't recall since I am not at my computer if I have Final Cut (maybe it's Aperture I am thinking of). I have Toast Titanium but I would need to upgrade to the Pro version for better video components (but maybe I don't need to use it either).
    What are some of the ways I can convert VHS and MiniDV cassettes to store it digital on my iMac or created a DVD disc?

    Here is a software and device comparison chart with prices http://vhs-to-dvd-converters-review.toptenreviews.com/

  • Best way to hook a Mini display port to a vga projector AND a vga monitor

    I am looking for the best way to hook a Mini display port to a vga projector AND a vga monitor for use in a classroom, right now I am thinking a Mini displayport adapter to a splitter.

    The Thunderbolt port is the one to use; you use the same mini-DisplayPort adapter you used for the older minis.

  • Differences between adapters? (MiniDVI- VGA/HDMI and DisplayPort- VGA/HDMI)

    Hello everyone
    I'm going to buy a new Late 2009 Mac mini, wich for the time being will be connected to my old 17 inches Samsung LCD using VGA (I know, it's not the best solution but I can't afford buying a new monitor now) and occasionally to my Samsung FullHD LCD TV. So here are my two questions
    1) What's the difference between using a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter and a Mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter?
    2) What's the difference between using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and a Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter? Are both HDCP compliant?
    I know these may be stupid questions, but I'm a ex Windows user and the "Macverse" is new to me Thanks

    One important difference between the VGA versions of the adapter is that DisplayPort does not output analog video. As such, the adapter is expensive because it has a D to A (digital to analog) converter built inside of it. It may be more prone to trouble, but it is also able to be firmware upgraded, which has already happened one time. Anyway, I would tend to choose the DVI version of the VGA adapter if for no other reason than it being cheaper.
    The difference between the DVI/HDMI adapters is not so big I think, so it wouldn't matter which was used to drive an HDMI display. Either port on the back of the mini will support HDCP, and that is important with HDMI.

  • How to connect a cinema display and a VGA monitor to mac mini

    I bought a Macmini and want to connect to a cnema display and to a monitor that uses VGA connection. I also bought a MiniDisplayPort to VGA adapter but the MacMini only has ONE Minidisplay port.  I thought this would be more straitforward....

    I'm unsure of the issue, the Mini has both mDP and HDMI outputs, right? If so, the mDP for the Cinema Display an a HDMI to VGA adapter for the 2nd monitor.

  • Mac Mini and thunderbolt/vga to LCD TV

    Hi All,
    Here is an interesting one......
    I have just taken delivery of 5 new Mac Minis which have the thunderbolt port on them.  The Mac Minis each connect using displayport tb/vga adapter to a switch then on to 5 LCD TVs.
    The HDMI/DVI is not used.
    In this config, if I start a Mac Mini the display will not route through the Thunderbolt/vga adapter to any of the TVs (even though I have selected them on the switch). The display seems to want to go through the default HDMI port.
    If I connect a standard PC monitor to the tb/vga adapter and reboot, the screen shows correctly on the monitor.  If I then change cables without a reboot, the LCD TVs show correctly!
    I can add the PC monitor as a second monitor using HDMI/DVI and ensure that the outputs are mirrored AND that the VGA display is the primary.  However, on reboot it's as if the details are all forgotten!
    Searching around it seems that there are issues with Mac Minis and VGA connections to LCD TVs.  That said, I wanted to put my environment out there and see if anyone had an ideas.
    Interestingly enough, with older Mac Minis (without the tb/vga) it works perfectly well, indicating a problem with the new Mac Minis.
    Thanks for ANY ideas!!!!

    Hey Spost!
    You have explained exactly what happened to me last night.  I was afraid it was part of the 10.8.3 update or the latest ATV software update that hit this week.   I tried from my macbook pro and the airplay from 10.8.3 and the atv software worked fine.  
    Previously my mac mini was connected to a monitor in my basement but last night i made it "headless" and moved it to my "server closet"  airplaying prior to the move worked great ... then last night 4:3 Green Screen. 
    My guess is the computer needs to be connected to a external display in order for airplay resolution to figure itself out.   Via Logmein i could see that the Mirror mode wanted to use the resolution that fit the mac and not what was best for the Apple TV ... Even forcing the change made the setting go right back to this mac. 
    Looks to be a bug in a plist file that apple would need to fix as many people run headless mac mini's and now wish to AirPlay to their Apple TV's without the need for a external cable run. 

  • Question about Final Cut Pro X and miniDV's

    Hi,
    I'm thinking in buying Final Cut Pro X and use it to import and edit many hours of footage that I have on miniDV's tapes.
    I've heard that to work with miniDV's, Final Cut Pro X is not great, especially regarding timecode, etc. True?
    Any thoughts and advises? Many thanks!

    My experience is if you're shooting SD then you shouldn't have a problem unless you are trying to load a full hour. When I tried that, the computer went crazy and loaded the video as thousands of clips just a few frames long.
    That was supposed to be for a multicam shoot. I went back to FCP 7 where I've never had a single problem after at least 80 multicam projects with as many as eight cameras.
    I'll have to try it again in FCP X now that there have been two updates since my last try.
    I've also used HDV mini DV tapes shot with a Canon HV40. The video looked great in FCP X and I had no problem with clips that were 2-3 minutes long.
    I did not load my HDV clips as ProRes in FCP X because, when I did try it, they looked like total crap. I was afraid my finished exported video would also look like that.

  • Problem with lenovo t60 and the vga output

    I have a problem with the vga output and the lenovo t60
    When i put the videoprojector connector in to the lenovo t 60, the projector reponde is:
    Not supported
    H: 48.20khz   v: 143,10 hz
     On my desktop pc the projector function on 1024x768 resolution and the 60 hz to refresh.
    The same configurations are on my laptop and the projector doesn't function
    Please help me.

    I too have this problem. My T61 worked fine for about a year, and then suddenly would no longer project. I had made no changes to the settings for the external display, though since the problem started I've tried many combinations without success. Typically the projector reports that the frequency settings the laptop is sending are unsupported. In my case the vertical rate is usually correct (60 Hz) but the horizontal rate varies wildly.
    I suspect a hardware problem, as this post suggests: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/av-multimedia-relate​d/32128-laptop-wont-display-projector.html. (Note the message claiming that 6 out of 40 Lenovo laptops exhibited this problem.)
    Since my system is still under warranty I guess I'll have to get it repaired, but I'd rather hear of a software fix...

  • Dual ADC and dual VGA......Possible?

    My mate and I are both running a VGA LCD display connected via the included VGA to DVI adaptor plus an Apple Studio Display (ADC). Both on G4 MDD.
    Identical Systems at work (Pre-Press)
    Is there a way that He can run two LCD's and I can run two Apple Studio Displays?

    So, (assuming one card, with one of each ADC and DVI ports) to run another ADC display on a machine with an existing ADC display, you need a DVI to ADC adapter like the following:

    http://www.smalldog.com/product/12651652/atfgc
    Then, to run 2 VGA displays on one machine, you need the current DVI to VGA adapter plus an ADC to VGA adapter:

  • HELP!! LCD is BLACK and NO VGA OUTPUT!!

    So if the screen is black (No Faint Images) and I also can not output to VGA, does this mean my motherboard/video chipset is bad?
    I'm assuming that if the screen is not functioning you at least can output to VGA. Right?
    VGA output does not work so I would assume it's the motherboard by logic. Right?
    Any opinions, experienced answers?

    Although I can understand your anger and frustration you did agree that Apple were not responsible for what happened and that you down load the SW at your own risk. all of that is in the T+Cs when you update so Apple are not obliged to fix any thing.
    If a PRAM and SMC did not fix it the machine may need to be seen by the Genius Bar Tech guys

  • [SOLVED]Battle for Wesnoth and external vga monitor

    Hi all, i have my hp pavilion dm1 1010el hooked up to a 19'' external monitor via vga cable. When i plug it in, i use xrandr to mirror my screen, but when i try to launch battle for wesnoth, my external monitor becomes gray and wesnoth starts into LVDS (the laptop monitor...)
    how can i fix this thing? it only happens with wesnoth, usually i can open things wherever i want
    thanks!
    Last edited by samuele.mattiuzzo (2010-04-30 10:38:35)

    You could use xrandr to disable your notebooks "monitor" and only activate the external 19" monitor. This should force battle of wesnoth to run on the external display.
    Gaming with dual head can sometimes be a problem. I am running a dual head combination (19" and 15" TFT) with a AMD HD4670 and radeon opensource drivers. When gaming I start a short shell script before launching the actual game to enable only the 19" display. Afterwards I use another shell script to set to dual head.
    Edit:
    This is my "singlehead.sh"
    xrandr --output VGA-0 --off
    xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1280x1024
    This is my "dualhead.sh":
    xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1280x1024
    xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768 --right-of DVI-0

  • Bluetooth is not working in philips SPA4500B AND S...

    CONNECTION OF BLUETOOTH NOT WORKING WITH SKYPE AND PHILIPS SPA4500B
    PLEASE HELP 
    OTHERWISE IT IS WORKING NORMALLY

    The solution that worked for me was to Backup and then Restore.
    For the backup: you can do it via iTunes (plug the iPhone and right click over its icon on the Devices section and then choose Back Up) or download your photos, contacts and other important documents to your Mac using iPhoto (just download your photos) or apps like My Contacts Back Up (it will email you the full list so you can upload it to the iPhone later). Make sure you backup properly please!
    After you have done the back up choose Restore in iTunes and that will erase all the files and apps from the iPhone so it will be back to the settings it had on the day you used it for the first time (you'll be able to recover all the apps you paid for since they'll be linked to the Apple ID you used to purchase them).
    The iPhone will still have the latest version of iOS (6.1.3) so if the problem is -like in most cases- software related it would be fixed and you'll able to pair the device again. If not maybe you will have to downgrade the  iOS to the previous version.
    Hope this helps!

  • Combining MPEG1 and miniDV camcorder footage

    Hi,
    I have been using a Panasonic GS180 3CCD camcorder (miniDV tapes) and a Sony DSC-P200 camera to record footage of various carnivals. I use the Sony camera when I am performing as its small and the MPEG1 movies are okay quality for my purposes. I use the camcorder at other times.
    I use MPEG Streamclip to demux the MPEG clips (best quality Quicktime export) so the audio is available in FCE HD 3.5.1.
    I export the edited film to disk (quicktime movie) and use iDVD to render and burn to disk (PAL format).
    I have noticed that the footage from the MPEG clips seems to run a bit faster as if its slightly sped up.
    I suspect this is a problem with frame rates. The MPEG is 30 frames per second and the PAL rendering is 25 fps.
    What would be the best way to sort out this problem?
    Thanks
    Eric

    Does the P200 shoot at 30 or at 25? When you convert the material using MPEG Streamclip, convert it to the correct frame rate.

  • Vista x64 and Beamer (VGA)

    Hi,
    i tried to connect a Beamer over my "MiniDisplay Port -to- VGA" Cable but i only get a resolution of 640x480 ... i need 1024x768 ... can't change the res in the nivida nor the vista control planel..
    ..under macOS i have all resolutions aviable..
    Are there any new nvidia drivers for vista x64 ... for the macbook's (late 2008) 9400M?

    Sometimes there seems to be problems with upgrading firmware on 64bit Operation systems, I had the same problem with both my Logitech G5 and Razer Deathadder mouses. So my tip is you try upgrading it on Vista 32bit or Windows XP 32bit.
