USB-to-VGA adapter compatible with Mac?

Hi,
I'm trying to hook up an additional external monitor to my MacBook Pro using a USB-to-VGA adapter. I don't need any kind of graphics acceleration.
Here is the type of adapter I'm looking at:

Apparently some have gotten the 2nd one to work on Linux with the sisusb driver. Does anybody know if this is compatible with Mac OS X?
Thank you!
MacBook Pro 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB memory

Your Mac came with a DVI to VGA adapter. Why do you need a USB one, when the DVI one is faster and more reliable?
Note the specs:

If yours was missing the adapter which is shown "In the box", call AppleCare to ask a replacement be sent.

  • Is the LG 22EN33S-B 22-inch LED 1920 x 1080 VGA Monitor compatible with mac via a vga to thunderbolt connection

    Is the LG 22EN33S-B 22-inch LED 1920 x 1080 VGA Monitor compatible with mac via a vga to thunderbolt adapter?

    The 1080p and 1080i options only appear on the HDMI display settings, the display settings for the thunderbolt to vga adaptor has 1920 x 1080.
    Via the HDMI output of the Mini via an HDMI cable to a HDMI input on the Samsung the display fills the screen but the text looks vile.
    The options for picture adjustement on the samsung include fill screen as you suggest
    Using the thunderbolt to VGA adaptor the text looks as it should, crisp and clear but the display is shitfted to the right.
    The options for picture adjustment on the Samsung does not have the 'fill screen' option available when the VGA input is selected. However a new option called 'pc screen adjustment' appears and you can nudge the display over to the left a bit but not enough to cover the whole screen.
    I remind you the pc worked perfectly 1920 x 1080 on the same VGA cable and input to the samsung.

  • Is Easy Acc USB 3.0 hub compatible with Mac OSX 10.9.4?

    I just purchased a new hub and my Logitech wireless mouse is not responding well.  Is it the new hub?  Can OSX 10.9.4 support USB 3.0?

    USB 3.0 is an international standard. Yes, it's compatible with OS X 10.9.x
    Reviews on Amazon from other iMac users have been positive.
    Just like with USB 2 hubs, some devices aren't happy sharing.
    I can't tell for sure it's the hub's fault. You need to try other combinations of connection.

  • Which USB 64GB flash drives are compatible with Mac Mini?

    I need to use a USB 64GB flash drive, formatted for both PC and Apple, with my Mac Mini. The largest USB flash that Apple sells is 32GB. Which USB 64GB flash drives are compatible with Mac Mini. If most are, are there any that I should avoid? Thanks.

    I'm assuming that when I connect the USB to the Mac it gets formatted for Mac. Then I follow your directions and it gets formatted for Windows, in addition to Mac. I'd choose ExFAT since it is a 64GB USB.
    No no. A brand new drive will be formatted as "something", most likely something for Windows, and that could be FAT (which a Mac can also read and write to) or NTFS (which a Mac can read but not write to).
    So, you'll need to make sure it's formatted as ExFAT, instead of what it is. A medium can be in always only one format.
    About the expense: Fry's is advertising a 64GB Patriot USB Flash Drive for $22.99. Is that considered expensive for a USB flash drive?
    That'd be dirt-cheap, I'd say. Expect it to be very slow.
    I've read answers that are somewhat related to my question, and some warn that USB's are slow. Maybe I should consider another option?
    USB is not that slow (though there are faster buses). And USB flash drives come in different speeds, where especially the "write" speed can vary hugely.
    The advantage of USB is that it's widely spread, and lots of media is on the market, making it very affordable. The only other affordable alternative is an external HDD, I'd say, where you get much bigger drives for less money than a small 64GB USB flash drive...
    My main objective is that, in switching from Windows to Mac, I want to be able to access Windows files that I've backed up to a Seagate Free Agent. I bought a LaCie with the Mac Mini, but will still want to use the Free Agent. I need to reformat the Free Agent for the Mac (hopefully for Mac and Windows; while learning to use the Mac and Numbers and Pages I may have emergency jobs that I'll need to do with Excel and Word on the PC), so my plan is to move the files on the Free Agent to the 64GB flash drive, reformat the Free Agent so that, hopefully, the Mac will read the files on it after I move them back to the Free Agent from the USB.
    Why don't you copy the content of the Free Agent meanwhile to the Mac's HDD? Then copy it back after re-formatting the Free Agent? Why would you need an extra USB drive?
    Any ideas you have about how to achieve this objective will be appreciated. Maybe I should buy a third, small, external hard drive? Maybe there is a way to move the Windows files from the Seagate to the LaCie?
    Exactly... you seem to have already extra space on the LaCie drive...
    My understanding is that the Apple Store does not want to move files from an external hard drive to the Mac.
    I don't know where this could origin, but that's as wrong as it is funny. What has the App Store to do with you moving some files from one drive to another?
    I should add that I don't have enough remaining free space on the PC hard drive to hold the files on the Free Agent, so that is not an option.
    No, but you have a Mac with a built-in HDD, and you got the LaCie drive. Again, the Mac should have neither a problem to read from the Free Agent, nor to write to the LaCie.
    From what you're telling here, you have lots of space already with what you have, I can't see the need for the USB flash drive, at least not for the purpose you mention here.
    It seems that your understanding is that (a) a drive comes in a particular format for, or not for Mac, and you can't change it, and (b) that for some reason (App Store?!) Macs aren't allowed to copy files from external files. Well, both is wrong...

  • UPS, USB-connectable  with: UPSmart2000i.  Is there software, compatible with Mac OS X 10.8..?!

    I bought a 2000 VA interactive UPX ( Turbo-X brand, "PLAISIO" stores' proprietary, Greece), USB-connectable  with software for Windows provided: upsmart2000i.
    Is there other software available for it, compatible with Mac OS X 10.8..?!
    I attempted to install the APCAGENT.app along with the "Growl": after installation, the APCAGENT.app was not able to find the IP address of the ULS or to establish any communication with it; it didn't even detec the presence of the already running GROWL app.

    TYPOS CORRECTED:

  • Is the USB Power Adapter compatible with iPod touch 3rd Generation?

    Is the USB Power Adapter compatible with iPod touch 3rd generation?
    (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB352LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA4NA&mco=MTM3NDk1MjI)
    The specs of the Adapter ("This accessory is compatible with the following:" in the "Overview" section) don't mention iPod touch 3rd generation. They do mention 1st and 2nd Generation
    Thanks!

    Thank you, Lyssa.
    You must be right based on that article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353). The latest model of iPod touch is referred to as "iPod touch (Late 2009)" -- and NOT "iPod touch 3rd generation", as I erroneously assumed.
    That completely answers my question about the USB power adapter.

  • Looking for a smart card reader compatible with Mac OS X 10.5

    Hi there,
    I am looking for a smart card (card with microCPU) reader which is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 .
    In substance, what I need is a little space to store all my passwords in, due to the fact that I might forget one: I have many to remember!
    I have an USB key, but I use it in many computers, even in ones whose security cannot be 100% trusted.. and I want no doubt when talking about safety.
    Here's an image of what I want in poor words:

    The main issue is that most SC readers are /not/ Mac compatible.
    So what brand should I opt for ? What costs should I expect ?
    Thank to everyone who'll help.

    Thank you for your answer.
    This might be a solution, I'll take it seriously.
    Can this other be a solution too ?

    On the manufacturer's page, it's stated that it's compatible with Mac OS X.
    41 bucks + shipping + the price of a smart card..

  • Mini Disc player - compatible with Mac

    Hi, could someone suggest a good MD player that is compatible with Mac. I´ve heard that the Sony MZ-RH10 that can transfer data through USB doesn´t work so well. Has anybody experience with this model?
    Any oppinions of buying a cheeper MD player (without the USB transfer possibility) and transfer material from the MD-player in real time to the computer. Recording the MD material as analog audio. Does someone use that technique and how does it work?
    Thanks in advance.

    How do you know it's ML compatible?
    But you do know that it's only software, yes? You'll need hardware = a Blu-ray drive as well.

  • Is Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 compatible with Mac mini?

    Hi, I am thinking of getting a Mac mini. I currently have a Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 which I use with my HP laptop. Does anyone know if it is fully compatible with Mac mini?

    It is compatible -- to a certain extent.
    The Windows key will become the  (Command) key. The Mac will let you know that the keyboard you plugged in couldn't be identified, so it will ask you to type the Z key, followed by the / key. Choose ANSI and you should be ready to use the keyboard. Any multimedia keys or extra keys not part of the standard keyboard layout will have no function. The F12 key becomes the Eject key.
    (PS/2 keyboards are not compatible with the Mac, unless you purchase a $15 PS/2-to-USB converter.)

  • Need a printer compatible with Mac OS 9

    Hi there!
    One of my client is trying to find a new printer compatible with mac os 9. I've look around, but only have found printer for Mac OS X. Do you have any ideas? Thanks!!!

    Christian Labbe...
    Epson C86 comes into mind but may be thinning out in some areas stock. Epson seems to be pulling away from Mac OS 9 support for some time.
    About the only others I have seen is a few Lexmark's like the Z600 series however their cartridges seem overly priced and it is best to get the expensive high yield ones over the moderate yield ones. Another thing about Lexmark, is they may skimp on a cartridge or both from in the box sale, so read the box over carefully.
    Do not get me wrong as Lexmark's are a decent printer, however they do have the highest cost per page in printing ever known to the world. If you need to do several copies of something, it may be cheaper for you to make a printable page and photocopy the remainder. Lexmark also doesn' t rely much on Chooser's configurations as they are somewhat a native Desktop USB printer. They can be configured also as a USB Network printer out of the box.

  • What video cameras are compatible with mac without having to download software

    What video cameras are compatible with mac computers without having to download software?

    Did you try connecting your camera to the computer USB port via the supplied USB interface cable instead of plugging in the SD card directly?
    No driver is needed to connect your computer to your camera.
    http://usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/camcorders/consumer_camcorders/consu mer_camcorders/vixia_hf_r52#DriversAndSoftware
    Regardless of whether or not you 'like' downloading and installing software on your computer, Canon DOES HAVE software available for your specific camera and it IS compatible with recent versions of the Mac OS X operating system. Maybe try that instead of whining here about it not being compatible.

  • Is a Sony camcorder High Def model SR11 compatible with Mac?

    Now I have another question...I just bought a Sony camcorder HD SR11 (High Definition)...via email through BestBuy and I was told that I would not be able to import my movies to my IMac using iMovie because Sony's software does not support Mac so they told me to buy Adobe Premier Elements 4.....so I did..I have not tried it yet because I have not received the camcorder but I do not want to open it and pay a restocking fee if it is not going to work.....Is it going to work or should I just exchange the camcorder for another one that is compatible with Mac...and if so any brands I should keep in mind??????

    i too just bought this camera.
    iMovie doesn't see the camera? everyone on these forums says it does though, any ideas why mine wouldn't. I'm not really familiar with iMovie as i use FCP but... " command i" should recognize the camera should it not. it's in USB mode on the camera.
    iMovie 8 updated latest
    Dual Quad Core 3 Ghz Intel
    also running FCP Studio2 which doesn't recognize usb cameras
    i thought buying a hard drive camcorder would eliminate the hassle of tape. so far not so good!!!
