  • HT3924 mini displayport cable / thunderbolt cable

    the mini displayport cable is the same as the thunderbolt cable?
    I try connect my imac [mini displayport] (mid 2010) as external display with mac air [thunderbolt port] (early 2011)

    A mini-DisplayPort cable and a Thunderbolt cable are not the same. If you wish to use Target Display Mode and your older iMac will be the "external display", a mini-DisplayPort cable should work. See:

  • Mini-Displayport to DVI adapter not working, but Mini-Displayport to VGA and Thunderbolt work fine

    Mini-Displayport to DVI adapter not working, but Mini-Displayport to VGA and Thunderbolt work fine.
    This is a brand new MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012) just received.  I suspect that this is a hardware problem as:
    The mini-displayport to DVI adapter and the external monitor that I am utilizing connect and operate just fine using my older MacBook Pro (mid-2010) with the same OS.
    The new MacBook Pro powers the external monitor with a mini-displayport to VGA adapater without issue.
    The new MacBook Pro powers an Apple Thunderbolt display without issue.
    Both MacBook Pro's are running OSX Lion 10.7.4.
    The only combination which does not work is the mini-displayport to DVI adapater used in conjunction with the brand new MacBook Pro (mid-2012).
    All adapters and components (mini-displayport adapters) are Apple retail adapter.
    I have tried several external monitors, including my Dell U2412m.
    When I connect the mini-displayport to DVI adapater to the new MacBook Pro (mid-2012), nothing happens. The external monitor reports "no signal" and attempts to go into sleep mode.  Using the "Detect displays" button has no effect, even when used multiple times.  Rebooting does not help, nor does resetting the SMC or PRAM.
    Any other suggestions before I take it to the Genius Bar?

    I turns out that the logic board of my MacBook Pro was faulty (despite being brand new).
    I took it to the Apple Store, presented the problem, and one of the Tech's came to the same conclusion that I had -- hardware failure.  Phone support was no help in the matter (and even told me that what I was trying to do wasn't a supported option, which is rediculous).  However, the Genius Bar did take care of the problem, and my MacBook Pro was back to me with a replaced logic board within a few days.
    Hope that htis helps.

  • Female to female mini-displayport cable or adapter anyone?

    All that fuss about mini displayport to mini dvi adapter and even to micro dvi for the MBAs - let's face it, its not gonna happen people. Jobs has made it pretty clear about that, so lets stop hoping.
    Instead lets look forward, and now since mini displayport has picked up, there is bound to be connectors and cables by partner developers. A female to female mini-displayport cable/adapter/connector is the only possible solution I could think of to connect a non aluminum MB to the new LCD.
    Here is how:

    http://store.apple.com/auedu94060/product/MB382X/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MjIwODQ1NQ
    * There is a possibility that one may not be able to use the mic/isight/speakers on the LCD via this setup - further confirmation is required.

    Hence the new technology is not backward compatible and any solution for backward compatibility cant be resolved with mere external adapters or converters, perhaps it would be possible with the Express Card Slot, so for MBP owners you may be in luck, nevertheless it would prove to be quite complex and may be expensive - I also doubt any developer would take the initiative.
    I guess its time to accept our fate, buy a non Apple display or if you must buy an Apple display, then I believe you are left with no choice but to get the older models, unless you upgrade of course.

  • Why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor?

    why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor? it only works if i turn the computer on with it already plugged in.

    Do you have gfxCardStatus installed?  Is your monitor set to "Integrated" or "Discrete".  You want it set to Discrete to drive the external HDMI display.
    Try resetting the PRAM and SMC

    Are you sure you have a good miniDisplayPort to HDMI cable?
    Do you have another HDMI display you can test against (your neighbor's HDMI capable TV).
    Do you have friend that can test the cable using their Mac and maybe their TV or a monitor that has HDMI input.

  • MSI GX60 HDMI to mini displayport cable not detecting

    Hello All,
    I've had my 2 LG 27EA33 monitors hooked up to the laptop via 1 HDMI (main display) and 1 VGA (secondary). Everything was working grand until I recently moved the configuration around and needed a longer VGA cable. Instead of buying a longer VGA, I found a 10' HDMI to mini displayport cable on newegg for around 10 bucks. What a deal I thought! Well, I cant seem to get the laptop to recognize my 2nd monitor now. Once connected the AMD Vision program doesnt recognize. When I plug/unplug I get flickering and then blank screens until I disconnect it.
    If anything I'll buy a longer VGA cable... but would like to make this work.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    btw the imac is a late 2009 model and is 27"

  • Can I plug a mini displayport cable into thunderbolt port?

    I have new iMac with thunderbolt.  I have a MDP to HDMI cable, can I use it?  Or must i purchase a new "thunderbolt to HDMI" cable?

    I have a similar question.  I have a brand new MBP with Thunderbolt.  Work just bout me a 27' Thunderbolt display.  Great so far.  I also have a high-end Dell laptop.  I want to connect the DVI out on the Dell base station to my Thunderbolt display.  I have a mini-display port to DVI adapted.  Plugged that into my MBP Thunderbolt display and got the second monitor up on from my MBP.  Now when the new Thunderbolt monitor gets here, I am really hoping that I will be able to reverse the flow and connect from the DVI out of my Dell base station, to the DVI-mini-diplayport and into the back Thunderbolt port and then display the image on the Thunderbolt display.
    Can anyone confirm??
    Best,

  • Comment connecter un iMac (port mini displayport) avec un écran Thunderbolt ?

    Bonsoir,
    Je souhaiterais connecter mon écran Thunderbolt à mon iMac. Malheureusement mon iMac n'a pas de port Thunderbolt, mais il a un port mini Displayport.
    Lorsque je connecte mon écran Thunderbolt à mon iMac avec le cable Thunderbolt intégré à l'écran, rien ne s'affiche.
    Je vous demande donc de l'aide, pour choisir une connectique adaptée me permettant de connecter mon iMac avec l'écran Thunderbolt.
    Merci de votre compréhension

The display will go into Power Save Mode in 5 minutes." DP is plugged into the input DP port on the monitor.And of course power cable is plugged in as well. Do I miss something?
    You probably need to press the buttons usually located in the bottom right corner of the screen to tell the screen to use the Displayport socket and not the DVI socket. It sounds like it is currently set to use the DVI socket which of course is not connected to your computer. As a result of not finding a computer attached to the DVI socket it then decides there is no point staying turned on and instead goes in to energy saver mode waiting for something to appear on the DVI socket.

  • Mini Displayport Cable in UK

    Hi,
    Does anyone know where i can find a cable like this one in the UK :
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812270262&cmre=bytecc_mini_displayport-_-12-270-262--Product
    It's basically a mini displayport - displayport cable so that i can also use my imac as a monitor for my PC.
    Tried google, ebay etc but just can't seem to find one.
    Thank you.

    Hmm...ok. I'll get a hold of an Apple adaptor and see what happens from there. I'll let you know if I still have problems.
    Thanks!

  • Why does daisy-chaining a Mini-DisplayPort monitor in a Thunderbolt chain cause overscan issues?

    I have the awkward 2011 MacBook Pro with a single Thunderbolt port and no USB3.  I very frequently use it connected to my HP 2311x LED Monitor.  For the very first time, today I placed a external Thunderbolt drive in-between my MacBook Pro and the HP 2311x.  This causes the image to severely overscan.  Correcting it by using the underscan option in the display settings significantly reduces image quality.

    Two more of interest:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11407
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11409 which also says if a device works properly by itself, but then not correctly after the TB device, there may be a problem with the TB device.

  • Can no longer connect Macbook Pro 10.6.8 to Sony Bravia HDTV with HDMI to Mini DisplayPort cable, Can no longer connect Macbook Pro 10.6.8 to Sony Bravia HDTV with HDMI to Mini DisplayPort cable

    I have a 2011 Macbook Pro 10.6.8 that is not recognized by my Sony Bravia HDTV. What's weird is that the same cable works with my roommates 2012 Macbook Pro. Help please, I would love to watch movies + shows on the big screen!

    I hooked my Sony .Bravia 40" up to my MacBook with no problem. From your description, it sounds like you may also have a bad DVI->HDMI cable. I'm using the stock Apple miniDVI adaptor mated to my DVI->HDMI cable.
    I was going to go the route you took and use the VGA port on my Bravia, but thought it might limit me to "side" letterboxes since I thought VGA basically stood for 640x480 or 4X3 format. I'm surprised that you get 1920x1080 from a VGA cable. While your picture may be great, by definition I understand high to low video quality in order is...
    HDMI/DVI, Component, s-video, VGA, and lastly, A/V cables.
    My DVI->HDMI cable is a cheapie that I think I bought at Frys. This type of cable is probably getting harder to find as most stuff is straight HDMI now. Anyone thinking of getting a new flat screen should strongly remember to get one with at least 3 HDMI ports unless they are into cable switch-a-roo when connecting various devices. The stock devices today are cable/satellite, Blu-Ray/HD-DVD/DVD and one for the old Mac.

  • Where's the best place to get a Mini DisplayPort cable??

    That isn't the $30 Belkin one on Apple's site! (Need male to male for hooking MBP to new iMac)

    You need to use Google to search for that part number, shown on the Apple page as F2CD008tt1.5M. This one came up
    http://www.provantage.com/belkin-f2cd008tt1-5m~7BEL92QK.htm
    I don't think anyone else makes that cable for now.

  • Attempting to run an SCXI-2000 chassis over the serial port to a Mac.

    I was told that this is not supported by NI. Can this be done using register level programming or some other method. The reason for serial communication is due to the distance requirement of roughly 300 feet. The mac RS-422 serial interface is cabable of this. Is there another solution out there Using a mac and an SCXI chassis over long distances. Remotely talking(wireless or ethernet) to a local computer near the experiment and using a DAQ Card interface to the SCXI chassis is not ideal solution.

    Unfortunately, to communicate with an SCXI chassis via Serial port on the Macintosh would require that a driver for the SCXI 1200 and SCXI 2000 chassis be written. To write such a driver would not only require register level programming, but a thorough understanding of the SCXI hardware, some of which information might not be available in manuals and such. Because of this I don't think it would be feasible to use the SCXI 2000 chassis on a Mac.
    I tried to think of other approaches, but the only alternatives I could think of were to use a Windows Machine with the SCXI 2000 or to put one Mac near the equipment, as you mentioned previously.

  • Connecting Cinema Display with mini display port to macbook pro with thunderbolt port

    I am trying to connect a 27" cinema display (2010) that has a mini display port cable out of the back, into my macbook pro (2013) with thunderbolt ports.  The mini display port cord fits into the thunderbolt port on the Macbook Pro, however the macbook pro does not detect the cinema display and the cinema display does not have any picture on the screen.  The USB plugs in fine and sound comes out, and I have the adapter for the magsafe to magsafe 2 and that works fine, it just the actual display.  Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Hello mmholt,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there’s no video on an Apple Cinema Display that’s connected to your MacBook Pro, and you’re wondering if the configuration is supported. It is supported, take a look at the article linked below for more information.
