Trouble loading Mac driver for Display Adapter (connecting Mac to flat screen TV)

Howdy:
I'm trying to connect my Mac (OSX 5) to a flat screen TV.  To do so I just bought a USB 2.0 to HDMI® Display Adapter w/ Audio (1920 x 1080). The mini CD containing the DisplayLink software drivers that came with the unit won't fit in my Mac CD drive. I then tried to download the correct driver from the DisplayLink website, "DisplayLink USB Graphics Macintosh Driver" which appears to be appropriate for OSX 5 (at http://www.displaylink.com/support/mac_downloads.php). This proceeds through the installation steps, then bombs out with the error message that "The following install step failed: run preinstall script for DisplayLink software. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
In the hopes of finding a compatible driver, I looked for an earlier version of the driver on the DisplayLink site, but couldn't find one.
Help!

Your 20" 2007 iMac has a mini-dvi video out.  Forget about using usb and installing drivers and just use a mini-dvi to HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable instead.
Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter
Then connect your audio line out (headphone) to your TV's audio in and you should be set to go.

  • Need mac driver for TP-Link Wireless USB adapter TL-WN7200ND

    i need Mac driver for TP-Link Wireless USB adapter model no TL-WN7200ND

    First of all, TP-Link does not provide OS X drivers for that adapter. However, there are other sources that have drivers like this one. It is not official and it may fail, but it has been tested by other users and it works correctly.

  • Driver for network adapter

    Hi, I have a hp pavillion g series laptop which will no longer connect to the Internet. I have tried doing a recovery but this seems to only work now and again (gets less successful the more I do it).
    When I click on the Internet symbol it tells me Internet explorer cannot display web page.
    I click on diagnose problem and it tells me to install a driver for network adapter.
    Whatever I try seems to be failing.
    Any help would be great.

  • I can't load the driver for a canon ir c2550.

    I can't load the driver for a canon ir c2550.  Installer gets to where it looks for the drive and never finds it.  Drive only has 18G of space left.  Help??

    Thanks so much for your response
    I reset printer systems, and was only able to add Canon MG6200 series, either with Bonjour or Canon IJ Network, but cannot find the correct printer software for MG6250 (there is no option for any Canon MG printers) the only choice is Generic PostScript Printer.
    I have tried using this, but the print job is not going to the printer itself, it appears that it is, but then under the canon print box, it simply dissappears.

    At this point is the printer connected to the Mac via a USB cable?
    Do you think that I should attach the printer with the old usb cable from my previous printer and try that appears to defeat the purpose of having a wifi printer    Or will this simply allow the computer to find the printer and then I can remove the cable?  Thanks

  • Can I use my late 2006 mac mini as an external drive for my late 2012 mac mini?

    I have a (late 2006) Mac mini that I would like to use as an external drive for my (late 2012) Mac mini.  Is this possible and can anyone suggest what cables would be needed.  I am aware that the ports are very different i.e firewire and thunderbolt.  Thanks in advance!

    - You can boo the old Mac in Targe Disk Mode and connect the two via FireWire (FW) You will need a FW 400 to FW 800 cable or a FW 800 or FW 400 cable and appropriate adopters
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode - Apple Support
    - Use the old Mac normally and setup Disk Sharing and access the old Mac via the network. The old Mac's disk will show up  under Devices on the new Mac. One you set up the old Mac yo do not need mouse or keyboard or monitor. You can also setup Screen sharing and actually use the old Mac from the new Mac.
    - Remove the HD from the old Mac and place it in an external USB enclosure of dock and connect it to the new Mac

  • Mac Driver for Nokia 6255

    Well, with a NO PC card slot on my new MacBook, I was wondering how do I connect to the net using my Nokia 6255(CDMA conenction) via the the Nokia DKU-2 USB cable. Where can I get the drivers for this & how do I go about it

    From what I see there is no Mac Driver for this phone and usb cable yet:
    http://www.europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,8764,81914,00.html.
    It is only provided driver for windows. And if you have xp installed from boot camp in your MacBook, you could use that driver on XP side.
    That phone is not sold in us market yet as stated on nokia site:
    The Nokia 6255 phone has not been authorized as required by the rules of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"). This device may not be sold or leased or offered for sale or lease, until FCC authorization is obtained.
    so that could be why there is no driver for Mac yet.

  • Need driver for display (ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 IGP)

    Necessary driver for display ATI MOBILITY RADEON 7000 IGP under operating system Win 98, ME

    Hi
    Like Joao said try to find necessary drivers on Toshiba download site. All drivers are designed for each notebook model and if you use a driver downloaded from graphic card producer site there is no guarantee that it will work properly.
    Good luck!

  • DVD/Lightscribe drive for new (late 2010 Mac Pro?

    Does anyone know a source for an internal DVD w/ Lightscribe drive for a late 2010 Mac Pro? I want to install it in the second drive bay. I got one from OWC, but the depth of the DVD drawer was about twice that of the original drive that came with the Mac Pro. It would have been able to fit through the drop cover on the front of the Pro, but would not clear the internal rack components. It fit in the rack nicely with the 4 screws lining up properly, but would then not open more than about an eighth of an inch before hitting the internal rack frame, causing it to close. Thanks.

    Bummer! The instructions included with the drive did not mention thi. When I called OWC customer service she said that sometimes you had to remove the bezel from the Mac. I told her the Pro had no bezel. She said that the drive info did not specifically say it would fit a 2010 Pro a d gave me a RMA.'nmh bad for not questioning further. Thanks.

  • I am using bootcamp with windows 7, and always is showing me that there is no networks, it says I don't have a driver for the adapter; therefore i keep installing it, and suddendly windows 7 doesnt recognized it.

    I have a Macbook Air 13" (mid 2012), recently i installed windows 7 with my original disk and code. I downloaded all the drivers via bootcamp assitant, however everytime the machine keeps disconnecting spontaneously from the internet, and keep saying that there is not driver for the adapter.

    I install it according boot camp instructions. My thunderbolt adapter used to work fine with windows 7, but suddenly windows 7 did not recognize the driver of the adapter, and each time i install it, happens the same.

    http://www.muratec.com/new/support/drivers.asp does not appear to support that model at all on the Mac.
    Some open source drivers* may exist to support it.

  • T61p lost driver for display card

    Hi,
    My OS is XP and I found that driver for display card has lost twice. One symptom is that when I scroll my browser or a word document, the screen flickers badly.
    It won't work properly if I simply reinstall the driver. I uninstalled anything containing "nVidia" from Control Panel and reinstalled the driver, it will work properly again.
    My ordered OS is Vista Home Basic, and I changed to XP. The driver I'm using is downloaded from lenovo's website.
    Anyone knows why?
    Best Regards,
    enrico

    Are you installing the drive from the device manager or from the actual nvidia installer?  Try doing both - and also remember to install the LCD monitor driver, which helps correct issues that may arise.

    1. Put your Windows CD in the drive.
    2. Select Install Windows.
    3. Let install continue.
    4. After the first restart, you will see something about Recovery Console.  Do NOT select this option.  Just let setup continue.
    5. You will soon see a message "searching for existing Windows installation".
    6. Soon after, you will be given the option to REPAIR that installation or make a new installation.
    7. Select REPAIR.
    8. Just keep going.
    That's it.  Hopefully things will be just fine after the repair is done.
