Spare DVI to VGA presentation cables for SX20

hi All,
I would like to have a spare DVI to VGA presentation cables for SX20, I managed to searched the Part number is "CAB-DVI-VGA-3.5MM - SX20 3.5mm", but I cannot confirm, because I suppose the cable should be shipped with SX20, when I created a BOM for "CTS-SX20-PHD12X-K9", I thought I was able to find it in the option list, but I am not. So I was wondering that  the part number is right for SX20 or not...

As discussed previously in these forums (see this thread) - you'll find it much simpler and cheaper to buy a DVI-VGA cable and a seperate 3.5mm audio cable from your local electronics supplier.  These can then be purchased in lengths that are more suitable for your purpose as well (so you don't have to worry about 6m of cable if you don't need that much, or can get longer if you need that too).  YOu can then make these two cables a "single cable" using cable ties, or snakeskin wrapping them together (or any other way you deem appropriate).

  • DVI to VGA Adapter For 2nd Monitor

    Hello,
    I have a DELL monitor with a male DVI cable.  I want to convert to VGA so I can use it as a second monitor.  I currently have an Apple female VGA to Thunderbolt adapter.  What do I need to convert this DVI male to a VGA female?  Or...., do they make a DVI to Thunderbolt adapter?
    Thanks Much,
    Rick

    The Thunderbolt Port on your iMac uses Mini DisplayPort adapters for HDMI, DVI and VGA monitors.
    For DVI monitor's that are 24" or smaller with a resolution of 1920x1200 or less, you need a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.

    For DVI monitor's that are 27" or larger with higher resolutions, you need a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter.

  • Mini DVI to VGA cable doesn't send signal to the projector

    I just received a mini DVI to VGA adapter cable today.
    I connect mini DVI side of cable into my Macbook v. 4.1 and connect the other side into DGA cable, which connected to LCD projector.
    When I connect the cable to my Macbook, the opened application streched out to a full screen (seems like computer detets the cable) but projector says 'no signal'.
    Can any one tell me what is wrong it is?
    Thanks much
    Mike

    I'm still stucked.
    By reading some articles, it says even using mini DVI adapter, the signal is still digital and if the projector doesn't accept digital signal then it's no use....
    My projector is Epson EX3200 and it doesn't have any DVI or HDMI input.
    Does this mean my projector doesn't accept a digital signal?
    But, but, but if even uing mini DVI adapter cable it still doesn't conver to analog signal then why they call the cable a mini DVI to VGA cable???
    Why should this world be so complecated.....

  • 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?

  • MBP CD2 DVI to VGA not working with projector

    I am having issues getting the MBP to recognize a DELL 2300 projector through a DVI to VGA apple cable.
    A few months ago there were posts about this, but no solutions. The problem seems to be with the 'INTEL' side of things, as the same projector with the same DVI to VGA apple cable works on an older G4 tower running 10.4.9. The projector also works on an old G4 iBook with it's version of a VGA adapter. To make things more confusing, a DVI to Video apple cable works with the DELL 2300 on my new MBP C2D-but produces a terrible quality picture. Mysteriously, my previous 1st generation MBP CD worked with the DELL 2300 via a DVI to VGA apple cable (but I'm not sure which OS was out at the time 10.4.8?)
    My new MBP CD2 definately recognizes the projector through the DVI to VGA adapter, but the projector doesn't recognize the video signal from the computer. It is DEFINATELY the MBP (or universal drivers), as I have checked the DVI to VGA dongle (works), have checked the projector (works with an ibook running 10.4.8 OSX with VGA dongle), have changed resolution settings before and after connecting, have restarted computer, have tested various orders of connecting the projector and cables. STINK! (I also have TWO DVI to VGA adapters, so it is not a bad adapter). I have also played with exchanging various plist files from older universal versions of 10.4.8 that worked with the projector-no help.
    As I stated, the projector will work (in horrible quality) with a DVI to Video dongle. Why it will not work with the DVI to VGA dongle is a mystery and annoying I would hope that a newer MBP CD2 would be plug and play (like my previous MBP CD and an old G4 tower and an old iBook G4...but no).
    Any ideas, any help, any answers?

    Here are the actors in our play today
    1. MacBookPro A. (my system a CD2 2.16 with OSX 10.4.9)
    2. MacBookPro B. (my friends system a CD2 2.16 with OSX 10.4.9)
    3. an iBook (my friends 1.07 GHz G4 with 10.4.8 and a VGA adapter)
    4. DELL 2300 MP projector
    Plugged in DVI to VGA adapter to the virgin MacBookPro B (never had the projector plugged into it before) Dell projector shows that it recognizes an analog RGB 800X600 signal from MBP B. It projects a beautiful desktop. All is well for a moment.
    In Display preferences we see for the MBP B
    Color LCD, Display: 800X600 stretched, Colors: Millions, Refresh Rate: N/A
    VGA Display
    Now, I unplug the DVI to VGA adapter and naturally MBP B readjusts to it's native resolution. Great.
    Now I immediately plug back in the DVI to VGA adapter. The computer and the projector searches for signal with none found, while the computer shows no attempt at an automatic readjustment as above (800X600 stretched).
    I try the 'detect display' option. It causes computer to stall for a second (as it searches) but it does not detect projector and does not readjust it's own resolution to 800X600 stretched as it did initially. F7 key does nothing.
    This is a problem!
    So, I shut down the projector. I unplug the projector's power source and waited 20 seconds. plugged it back in, started projector back up.
    I shut down/restarted the MBP B.
    I plug back in the DVI to VGA adapter into the MBP B. The MBP B screen flashes to all blue, but does not automatically change to 800X600 stretched (remains at native resolution and does not recognize an external monitor/projector)
    Enter the iBook!
    I plug the iBook's VGA adapter into the projector. The projector shows that it recognizes an analog RGB 1024X768 60Hz signal and projects desktop screen immediately. Plug and play!
    iBook display prefs reveal:
    Color LCD, 1024X768, colors: Millions, Refresh rate: N/A
    Color tab: Generic RGB Profile
    VGA display, 1024X768, colors: Millions,
    Now. I unplug adapter from iBook, iBook readjusts to native display
    plugged back in adapter to iBook, immediately recognizes and displays projected desktop.
    Scene 2: The FREAKY thing!
    Now, I immediately (after unplugging the adapter from the iBook) change adapters to the DVI to VGA adapter and plug the projector into the MacBookPro B, whallla! Back in business. (computer screen adjusted to 800X600, and projector recognized signal).
    Now, what about my computer? I unplug from MBP B and plug into MacBookPro A, and NOTHING...the computer doesn't automatically adjust to a new resolution, and the projector doesn't recognize any signal from the computer.
    Ahhhh Freak out! Now, I plugged adapter back into MacBookPro B, and now back to NOTHING. MBP B no longer recognizes projector or readjusts it's resolution. Was something somehow corrupted?
    Now, I plugged iBook VGA adapter back in, and iBook once again with it's awesome G4 technology (or dated video drivers or something) recognizes the projector in an instant and projects the screen.
    Now, logically I try again to immediately unplug the adapter from the iBook and switch adapters and plug back into MacBookPro B-it worked once right? But, sorry, NOT twice. The mystery deepens.
    Well, I think, maybe it is because I didn't restart MacBookPro B before attempting the switcharoo from iBook to MacBookPro.
    So, I plug back into iBook-projector. And the iBook works immediately again.
    I restart MacBookPro B and plug in to the freshly restarted MBP B...HOUSTON WE HAVE LIFT OFF! The MacBookPro B recognizes the projector and the projector kindly displays the desktop.
    Now what about MacBookPro A...Last time, when I did the switcharoo, it corrupted something to cause the MBP B not to work. Let's try it again. Will this plug-unplug-restart-switch adapters-immediatly plug in technique work...let's see. I restart MBP A, and plug DVI to VGA adapter in. Sorry. Same ol' no signals recognized. MacBookPro A not auto readjusting resolution, and does not list any projector in display prefs.
    Let's get crazy and immediately plug the adapter into the MacBookPro B...it works-oh so logical...NOT! Why wasn't it corrupted this time by MBP A? MacBookPro B readjusts its screen to 800X600 stretched and projector immediately recognizes and projects desktop.
    Now lets see if I can break it again as before. I unplug it from MacBookPro B and back into MacBook Pro B, knowing that this caused it to stop working previously. And...it still works-WHAT? I do it a third time. It still works on MacBookPro B.
    So,
    I plug it back into MacBookPro A...still nothing. Back to MacbookPro B works like a charm. This time it struggles a bit showing that initially it sees a signal from MacBookPro B of 1192X900 (i Think), then the MacBookPro B switches automatically to 800X600 and the projector works.
    Wait..I see something amiss! I see in my MBP A menu bar an icon for Labtick which MBP B does not have. I shut down Labtick, plug back in the DVI to VGA adapter and 'Boom' the projector is recognized.
    I unplug DVI to VGA adapter and plug back in to MBP A and 'Boom' the projector is recognized again...no it couldn't be!
    Well, it is possible it couldn't be because, I shut down the projector, unplug it's power source, plug it back in. I plug it back into the recently working MBP A with Labtick not running, and sorry folks, now the projector doesn't work again. The MBP A does not readjust it's resolution, nor recognize a projector and the projector doesn't recognize the MBP A.
    Let's try the projector in MBP B....same deal. Now it doesn't work. Same symptoms of MBP A.
    Back to the good ol' iBook. Of course it works.
    Now switching over directly to a restarted MBP B. -DOESN'T WORK (as it did using this technique previously)
    Now switching over to MBP A- DOESN'T WORK.
    As you can see, it is hard even with multiple computers to find a series of doing things that consistently makes the projector work.
    Any thoughts, ideas, ways to diagnose? Thanks!

  • Late 2007 Macbook Pro: DVI to VGA Adapter

    I lost my DVI to VGA Display Adapter for my late 2007 Macbook Pro and can only find adapters for the PowerBook G4. Will this adapter work for my Macbook Pro?
    Thanks!

    Yes, all of those DVI+A to SVGA/VGA adapters for Macs are the same. I have adapters from the titanium G4, aluminum G4 and intel MBP and they all have DVI and came with adapters that function the same.

  • Mini DVI to VGA cable won't fit.  Too big for slot on 12 PowerBook G4

    Are there more than one type of cable?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2369 shows only one kind of mini-DVI port for the 12" Powerbook.  Sounds like you got something that is not an mini-DVI port based cable.  Mini-VGA cables look very similar, and can be misidentified.  What are you connecting to from the Powerbook G4?  Make, model # is important.  Often DVI-HDMI adapters are better than DVI to VGA if there is an option.  Cause DVI-VGA you need a proper digital/analog converter in the cable in question.

  • Mini-VGA to VGA cable for HDTV

    1.)I am need of some real knowledge. I just purchased an LG 720p LCD HDTV. I want to connect my iBook to the display (which is one of the main reasons i bought the tv). I use the mini-vga to vga cable that came with my iBook, i then connect it to a VGA to VGA cable (the included cable is way to short to reach,so i attach the cable that came with my tv). Boot up...the iBook detects the display under the Display tab in system prefs, but the pc-input on the TV is still blank flashing "no signal" indicating there is no input. I've also tried LG's suggestion (which is the same every time i call) to lower the resolution and reboot to no avail. (they are some real smarties over there..Lifes Good must mean for their customer service rep's!
    2.)I know there is a mini-vga to composite/s-video cable available, but i heard the resolution suffers greatly. I'm make films and would want the best (VGA) resolution possible from my iBook. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    3.) I've also heard of programs like screenspanningdoctor and DisplayConfigX will these help with my HDTV problem??
    Thanks

    No cable can extract an audio signal from your MBP's mini-Displayport. It just isn't there.
    If your monitor offers the option of selecting separate inputs for video and audio when HDMI is used for the video, just add a separate audio cable from your Mac's headphone port to the monitor's RCA audio inputs (red and white). If the monitor assumes that audio and video will be delivered together whenever its HDMI port is used, then you'll have to send the video signal via DVI or VGA, neither of which carries audio. Then your monitor should play both signals, because it won't expect both to be coming through the same cable and will find the separate audio signal.
    Alternatively, there is also this option:
    http://www.kanexlive.com/iadapt20
    It combines a USB audio signal with a mini-Displayport video signal and sends them both to the monitor or TV through a single HDMI cable. But it's pricey, and it takes up a USB port that you may not be able to spare.

  • Mini DVI to VGA Adapter w/ extension cable

    I would like to get a Mini DVI to VGA Adapter for my macbook. Does anyone know how it would would if I used it with a VGA extension cable. Any experience will be helpful

    Depends on how long the cable is, and if it was of sufficient quality for computer use. The higher resolutions require better quality and shorter cables. You may get some signal loss for long cables. A standard monitor cable that comes with a computer monitor should be fine, but what kind of length extension cable are you talking about?

  • Mini-DVI to VGA cable... LCD TV has female input

    I recently bought a mini-DVI to VGA adapter from an Apple store, to connect my MacBook with a broken screen to a UMC LCD TV. When it came to plugging the VGA end into the TV, I realised it has exactly the same connector (female I think) as the TV. This obviously means they will not connect, and I haven't been able to find a connector that will do the job. I was surprised to find that after a fair amount of searching no one else appears to have had this problem, so maybe I'm being stupid somewhere here. Thanks for help.

    You need a VGA male-to-male cable to connect the Apple mini-DVI to VGA adapter to your LCD TV:
    MacBook > Mini-DVI to VGA adapter > VGA male to male cable > LCD TV

  • Mini Dvi to VGA for Projector issue

    I recently bought a mini DVI to VGA adapter for my new macbook Black 2.4 ghz. When I hook this up to the projector nothing comes through, but the computer recognizes the projector. I know it is not the projector because when I plug in my 12inch powerbook it instantly recognizes the computer and displays whatever is on the screen. I even returned the adapter for a new one and am still having the problem. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Are there steps that I'm not doing, or is there something wrong with the mini dvi on my macbook?

    When I attach my MacBook to a projector via mini DVI, all variations of order of activation used, the desktop image appears, but the icons and other open pages are off the screen to the right.
    Of greater importance, Keynote presentations appear as two slides side by side, with a timer under the left image and no transitions.
    This has happened with two portable projectors and one overhead, exactly the same images with each.

  • 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...
