Trying to connect VGA monitor to laptop which adaptor do i buy?

I bought one but its the wrong one, I want to connect a VGA monitor to my macbook (aluminum) which one do I buy?
There is Mini which isn't hte same size port for this macbook, there is a DVI version, one that has the roundish adaptor part one that has the square one I am losing my mind loll.

This is the Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard > Installation and Setup forum. You are posting about a hardware issue. best advice is to post in the appropriate Macbook hardware forum and do give some details about your particular model like which model it is...

    That message means that you have to restore the iPad now. There was a problem with the update. So connect the iPad to your computer and restore your iPad.
    You can read bout it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If that does not work you will need recovery mode. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

    Hello HungryHoover,
    It sounds like you are not able to see any iOS devices in iTunes on your PC. I recommend the following article to help you troubleshoot that named:

    have you tried charging the device ?
    if so and it still does not work you can try a Forced Recovery..
    by holding the HOME button down and plugging it into your computer at the same time..

  • Macbook is always trying to connect to an other one which is not switched on

    Hello,
    I have a redundant problem :
    My Mac Book is always trying to connect to an other one which is not  switched on.
    I used Drive mounter, but I deleted the device that my Mac has tryed to connect with.
    Have you a solution to stop this behavior
    Thanks

    This sounds like it may be a question for the developers of Drive Mounter, as it sounds like that may still be trying to connect to that remote volume.
    You could rule out other things before contacting them by checking your login items in System Preferences -> Users & Groups. Make sure that volume is not in that list. Also, check any other apps or services that may be automatically making use of that volume, such as Time Machine.

  • Connecting VGA monitor to IdeaPad flex 15

    I have connected an external VGA Monitor through the HDMI port (using an HDMI to VGA converter) but the computer won't recognize the monitor. I have tried re-starting the computer, then changing the configuration using (Win+P) to extend or duplicate but it doesn't display the image on the monitor. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    What is the make of the HDMI -> VGA adapter? I have this one: http://store.apple.com/ca/product/H9139VC/A/kanex-atv-pro-hdmi-to-vga-adapter-with-audio-support and will test to make sure the Flex 15 works with it.
    *EDIT*
    Plugged into my VGA projector, worked right away. Looks like, at first, the Flex 15 defaults to clone mode. You can switch these modes using Fn + F10, which might explain why it's not showing up.

  • How to connect VGA Monitor via Thunderbolt Display

    I've been using my Macbook Air mid 2013 with a Samsung monitor connected via the Mini Display Port to VGA adapter. I've now bought a 27" Thunderbolt display, which I've connect to my Mac, and assumed I could now daisy chain my samsung monitor into the Thunderbolt port in the back of the monitor. This isn't working.
    Is this expected behaviour? Some people have said online that it will work if there's some other Thunderbolt peripheral between the Thunbolt Display and the VGA adapter, but I don't know what kind of peripheral they mean.
    Apple support says that my model Macbook air can power two external displays.
    How can I get this to work?
    Thank you

    I want to know if I can connect a vga monitor to the quad by simply getting a vga to dvi adaptor.
    Yes, you can.

  • Connecting VGA Monitor to 2007 Macbook Pro

    I am trying to connect my old 20" Princeton VGA monitor to my late 2007 Macbook Pro.  I bought an adapter cord that fits perfectly but my Macbook Pro won't recognize that the monitor is there.
    I tried changing the resolution but it did not work.
    I have used an HDMI cable to connect to my HDTV and it works fine but I cannot get it to work with the VGA monitor and the new cable.
    How do you get it to work?

    Well, I plugged in a mouse and restarted to computer again.  Went to Preferences and played with the different options... particularly Mirroring and now it works as a second monitor! 

  • My iphone 4 screen turns violet and i cant access even turning it off i tried to connect it to my laptop but its no longer connected can anyone help me.. please

    Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode.  In this case, all data on it is gone.  There's nothing to back up.

  • TS1372 After the latest iTunes update iTunes no longer sees either of my ipods.  Diagnostics says no ipod connected.  However my laptop, which is running Window 8.1 does see the ipod.

    After the latest iTunes update neither of my iPods are recognized by iTunes, so I am unable to sync.  When I run diagnostics it says no device connected.  My laptop sees my iPod so I know it is connected.  I have tried all of the recommended iTunes fixes and none work.  I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version.  The older version would not reconize my music libray.  Any thouhts?

    I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version.
    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • Display issue when connecting VGA monitor

    I'm having an isue when my Macbook Pro 13 inch 2011 is connected to my LG monitor via VGA, after a while the monitor does not display the image properly I don't know how best to describe it but it is like when a satellite signal is blocky and scrabled. Sorry for the poor description. This occurs both when the Macbook is connected to a monitor with the lid shut so that the monitor is the main display and with the monitor mirroring. I've had a 2008 Macbook with the same set up and there are no issues, anybody know how to solve this?

  • Trying to connect to internet using laptop connect card

    I have a MacBook Pro(MBP) and starting using an AT&T GT Ultra Express laptop card for internet connectivity. Operating System is OS X 10.5.4. I have connected in the past while on the road, but came home and connected to the internet via the ethernet port and now my laptop connect card won't work. The card lights up and flashes, but the application that I am using for it (Globetrotter Connect), states no card found. I clicked on the airport wifi icon and went to network preferences. At this point I am lost. Please help
