Searching adc to vga adaptor

I'm trying to connect my second Monitor port to a VGA Display and am searching for the correct adaptor.
I found solutions on the net, but rather than paying more fore shipping than the connector is worth, I'm looking for someone who has one lost in some box he could spare.
I'm ok with spending some money on this, but then more than 50€ would be over the limit.
I'm resident on Mallorca (Balearic Islands - Spain).
Thanks in advance for any help provided.

You will need a ADC to DVI adapter
<http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F2E9142-WHT-Apple-Monitor-Adapter/dp/B000067RLH/re f=dpcp_ob_title0>
or ADC to VGA adapter
<http://www.amazon.com/COMPUCABLE-ADC-VGA-Adapter-Cable/dp/B000071A8Q>
ADC to VGA adapters have become very scarce. If you have to use a VGA display, you can use a DVI to VGA adapter on the computer's DVI port. You can then connect your DVI display to the ADC port with the ADC to DVI adapter. (A DVI to VGA adapter won't work connected to a ADC to DVI adapter, since the ADC to DVI adapter doesn't pass the analog video signals needed for VGA.)

Where to buy a ADC to VGA adaptor

Im looking for one to pick up at a store. Does anyone know who might carry a ADC to VGA adaptor?

I'm on the same hunt. Today I decided to make use of a second monitor kicking around and rearranged my desk. Then I went to plug it in... No such luck. What's the point of this? What's wrong with two dvi ports, besides the point that adc meant another few bucks spent on accessories.
Anyway, I found one here for the cheapest price I've seen so far.
good luck.

ADC to VGA

On my Power Mac G5 (June 2004 with ATI Radeon 9600 XT), I'm trying to add a second CRT monitor, and I've been having terrible luck finding anyone that still carries an ADC to VGA adaptor.
I do have a spare DVI to VGA adaptor. So, would a ADC to DVI adaptor to use in conjunction with the DVI to VGA adaptor work at all? Has anyone tried this?
Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks!!

Thanks japamac,
I assumed as much (otherwise there wouldn't be so many people in such dire need of an adc to vga adaptor).
Thanks for the link too...that was the only adaptor even potentially available that I had found prior to my post. I had heard (read) so much about the Dr. Bott and Gefen (sp?) solutions...and next to nothing about the Belkin...I wasn't quite sure about it. Any experience with it? Worth a shot I suppose...
thanks again for your help!

Apple display connector to vga adaptor

I am looking for an adaptor (to VGA or DVI-D)for a 2004 vintage Apple Cinema Display. The ADC is rounded sides per photo below. I want to use this monitor with a desktop PC but am unable to locate an adaptor. Any suggestions ?
PS - virtually all searches produce newer style adaptors but not one which will work with this setup.
Suggestions appreciated.

Can I use the mini displayport to vga adaptor with the xbox vga cable to connect my xbox 360 to my macbook pro?

I'm trying to find a way to connect my xbox 360 to my mackbook pro. I've searched the internet and found that I can use a eagle eye device but, its to expensive. So after looking at the xbox website, I found a vga adaptor for my xbox and an vga to mini displayport and I was wondering if this would work.

The minidisplay port is output only. It's not going to show anything from your xbox.

I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help!

I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help! Further info: I am a complete newbie to Mac. Had three macs prior to 2000 then four PCs. Just come back and struggling a bit with the unfamiliarity. On my old PC laptop I could simply switch from the laptop screen to the large external monitor (and back) with the F4 function key. While I can get the background image from my MBA to display, that's it. Until I noticed on the far left of the external monitor, the very edge of one of the web pages I was on. So Idragged it over to display in the centre. But that's all that's there. And now I have gone out of those web pages but they are still displaying on the monitor. There is some wierd disconnect. I'm sure it is just a setting thing. Will keep searching for answer but any advice welcome!

Your dsplay is getting extended onto the external monitor. Chcnage the setting to duplicate it or only display on the external monitor and you should be fine,
Let me know if this worked for you.

ADC to VGA Extractor / Cable Wanted Urgently

Hi there
Im after a ADC to VGA cable or adaptor so I can use 2 old screens on my 2005 G5, Ive looked everywhere with no real success, does anyone know where I can buy one. There's one on ebay at the moment but its got like 6 days to go and I may not be around to bid on it when the auction closes. Does anyone have one they want to sell to me or know a company where I can buy one from in the UK?
Thank you

Thanks for your reply.
I have found one now on a website brand new, very expensive though.
Nice of Apple to decide to drop them and not give us lot who bought the G5's with this type of connection any future alternative!
Thanks again

Where can I find a driver for STLab USB 2.0 to VGA Adaptor for Macbook Air

Where can I find a driver for STLab, USB 2.0 to VGA Adaptor for Mcbook Air

Thank you for the response.
I downloaded it and it keeps telling me "No Scanner Detected." I looked on their website under supported scanners, found my Microtek ScanMaker 3600 and it says "NO" for Mac.

I just sent an email to them asking if VueScan does support a my scanner. I hope it does. I have been searching but am not proficient or know enough of what to look for. I just don't want to have to buy another scanner.

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?

Can i connect my cintiq 12wx to my Macbook pro 2011 through the thunderbolt using the mini display port to vga adaptor?

I just bought my cintiq 12wx and was wonderding if i can connect it to my macbook pro 2011 through the thurderbolt using a mini displayport to vga adaptor? Please help!

Yes, it should work with a mini-displayport to VGA adapter. Since a 12wx also can take DVI you could use a mini-displayport to DVI adapter instead. Why go analog when you can keep it in digital!
I guess the usb is for the pen.

Which VGA adaptor for my Intel Core 2 Duo iMac?

Hi folks... new to this forum. I'm looking to hook up my 20" iMac to a 2nd monitor (it’s a 20” Samsung VGA).
I’m very confused... So far, I've bought 2 different adaptors (neither of which fit the iMac):
Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter (which is listed as ”suitable for iMac Intel Core Duo”)
http://store.apple.com/ie/product/M9320G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MjE0NTg3Ng
Apple Mini VGA to VGA adaptor (which is listed as "suitable for iMac flat screen")
http://store.apple.com/ie/product/M8639G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MjE0NTg4Mg
Can anybody enlighten me which adaptor I need?... my iMac is a 20” iMac Core 2 Duo & I bought it new in April 2008.
Thanks!

Perhaps is was packaged or repackaged incorrectly, because that is the correct adapter part # for the Intel iMac's including the Early 2008 model.

Using a VGA monitor with Mac Pro: DVI to VGA adaptor cord & X1900 card

I will be purchasing the MacPro with the ATI Radeon X1900 XT. However, I want to continue using my dual Viewsonic CRT screens till the end of the year until I make the leap to a new LCD display. I know Apple sells a DVI to VGA connector and in fact I believe it to be included as an accessory.
Here is my question:
The graphics card I am buying (the X1900) is designated as a DUAL LINK DVI. The Apple DVI to VGA adaptor cord has a DVI -I SINGLE LINK male connector. Will this DVI-I single link connector properly mate to the female dual link connector on the X1900 graphics card? If it will, I'm probably in business. If it won't, does anyone have an idea for a workaround?
Many thanks, John

The DVI to VGA adapter works fine with the Radeon X1900XT (and the Geforce 7300GT and the Quadro FX4500).
The DVI to Video adaptor works on the Radeon, but not on the two Nvidia cards.

Poor colour depth/banding with Apple Mini-DisplayPort-to-VGA adaptor?

I'm using the Apple Mini Display Port to VGA adaptor to hook my MBP up to a projector in the theatre where I give lectures.
I am getting colour depth/ banding issues - images seem to be displayed in thousands of colours, rather than millions, creating really bad banding problems.
I know it isn't an issue with the projector - for comparison purposes I tried playing a DVD through a DVD player connected to the projector, and then through the MBP connected to the projector, and the diference in colour depth was really noticeable. In fact it was virtually unwatchable through the MBP.
Is there a preference pane I'm missing somewhere which will increase the colour depth?
Is there a better adaptor than the Apple one that I need to buy?
Or is this a problem inherent in the minidisplay port to VGA conversion process?
Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

If your monitor has DVI input, get the DVI adapter. DisplayPort is digital, DVI is digital, but VGA is analog - the signal conversion will result in a (slight) drop in quality.

Mac mini with Apple Mini Display to VGA adaptor

Hello,
I have just purchased a new i5 mac mini, and have started to use it with an HDMI TV. This is great, but I really want to go back to using just my VGA monitor, which is an LGFlatron W2243S.
So, today, with the HDMI plugged in, I put a Apple Mini Display Port to VGA adaptor into the back of the mac mini, hooked it up to the monitor and great. The monitor was recognised, and it actually appeared as a second display.
But then, I pulled out the HDMI lead, and that was the start of the trouble. I now cannot get the LG monitor to work - instead it goes into power saving mode. I have proven the VGA cable, and also noted that the display settings do detect the monitor, but it just keeps going into power saving mode.
Reading on the internet I've found talk of the power from the mini display port being a possible problem.
At the moment then, the HDMI is still plugged in. Any advice on any settings I should be using to get the mini display -> VGA adaptor to work with the monitor? It is obviously working in some form (a) because I can't believe apple would continue to sell a dud product and (b) because it did occur briefly as a second monitor.

I've got some more information which I'm hoping might enable someone somewhere to help!!
So, I've just connected up the monitor again, with success. Both the HDMI and VGA monitor as mirrorred displays.
Then, I removed the HDMI connection, and the VGA monitor stayed on. I was also able to change the resolution successfully on the VGA monitor.
Then I restarted the system. The VGA monitor went into standby and wouldn't wake up from power saving mode (therefore was not able to see the password screen).
Plugged the HDMI back in (as well as the VGA) and restarted. Password screen came up on the HDMI screen. OS started up as normal, then the VGA screen came back to life on mirrored display.
So there is some level of success occuring now, except on restart. It seems as once the OS loads, it sends the signal to the VGA to switch on, but not on the password screen. Note that I do not want the HDMI screen connected - just the VGA. It's really a TV and I want to use it elsewhere.
I also downloaded the DP to VGA firmware update, but even with everything plugged in (and ironically with the VGA on and working!) it says that it cannot find a DP to VGA adaptor!!
This all suggests to me that things work, but that there's something I'm not quite doing right somewhere. My PC connects to the VGA monitor fine, and comes on at power up.
Thanks in hope.
