Using Iphone 4s as primary monitor via vga

I want to use my iphone as a monitor to review video FROM my Security camera DVR via VGA. So I want to plug my iphone directly into my dvr and review recorded video.
Is this ppossible. If so how? If not it should be...

No, it's not possible.
The iPhone does not accept video input.
Connect a monitor to the system or purchase a system that allows remote viewing from a mobile device.

Hooking up Flat screen tv to Macbook pro with a broken monitor via VGA

My monitor on my Macbook Pro recently went out. I am trying to hook it up to my Toshiba flat screen TV via DVI to VGA. When everything is hooked up, my TV just displays a screen saying "No Video Signal". I think this has to do with my display setting not being set to Detect Monitors on my Macbook. I also know there is a hot key (fn + f7) buuuuuuuuut, my laptop is password protected. So I think this may be causing the hot key to not work. My Mac is pretty old and I'd rather just hook it up to a spare monitor and use it as a desktop, and just save up and get a newer Macbook. Does anyone have any advice on how to get around this little problem I have seemed to run into?
By the way I am guessing at my operating system. I customer built my laptop back in 2007 so i'm not sure what I have in there haha. I do know I have a **** ton of ram

Seeing this is rather old give this a try, it can't hurt.
Connect the DVI to the VGA, both devices powered off.
Power up the Mac, then power up the monitor, wait a couple minutes.
If no results, go to system preferences, select display, and click detect displays.
You can also try F3.
Good luck

T530 - 2 external monitors via VGA Splitter

Is it possible to connect 2 external VGA monitors to my T530 via a VGA Splitter? If not; what would I need to make 2 external VGA Monitors possible?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In which case (and if you want to keep the internal LCD on even with 2 VGA LCD connected).
Cheapest solution: get a usb2vga converter.
More expensive but better responsiveness on large LCD, get a series 3 dock with 2 displayport and get 2 displayport to vga converter (one dp2vga converter and run one LCD from your onboard vga may also work, but never tested it).

Connect your cable to a DVD player or something like that and check it...

New monitor not recieving signal via DVI, ok via VGA

Hello,
I have one of the original minis (1.25 GHz, 512 MB, etc) purchased back in early 2005. Until now I've been using an old CRT display connected via VGA. This past weekend I purchased a new 20" AOC LCD monitor from Costco. I attached it with the supplied VGA cable and it worked great. The next day I picked up a DVI cable, attached it and after a minute or two the monitor found the signal and displayed a beautiful image. After five minutes the monitor lost the signal and I haven't been able to get it back since. I exchanged the DVI cable for a new one, but still can't get a pic displayed. The monitor itself is self switching. It knows if the connection is via VGA or DVI.
What am I doing wrong? Could it be the mini? The monitor?
Please help.
Thanks
Dave

Yes, it is a display specific issue. If you look at this Apple spec page for the original mini and do a search on the word "coherent" it will take you to the part of the spec that deals with the issue.
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP65
Apple displays are not a problem because they have always used coherent receivers. But any other monitor is a roll of the dice, especially with the original mini. The newer mini with GMA950 graphics appears to be much less affected by this even though Apple left the wording in this part of the spec unchanged between the original G4 mini and the current Intel ones.

TS2756 When trying to update ITunes on my pc using my Iphone 4 personal hot spot via usb connection the download interups and will not install.

When trying to update ITunes on my pc using Iphone 4 verizon personal hotspot via usb connection the download fails.

I called this problem into Apple and they solved it for me. The problem is in the downloader associated with iTunes. Skip that step and go to Apple.com and download the new iTunes softwere update (Version 11.1) directly. I did this and installed it successfully. After restarting the computer iTunes recognized my phone and all was well. Then I updated and installed the ios7 update without any problems. No charge. Full cudo's to Apple!

Second monitor randomly becomes primary monitor

I've got a 2011 Mac Mini that is being used in a church for projection. There are a number of secondary monitors connected via splitter boxes. Until recently I was using the HDMI port for the primary monitor and all the secondary monitors were connected via VGA. However, I have just upgraded all the secondary monitors to HDMI (and changed the primary monitor to VGA) but I am getting some strange effects when I connect them. It seems that as I connect and disconnect HDMI monitors the Mac Mini randomly decides to switch the primary monitor from VGA to HDMI. Is there any way to fix the assignment of what is the primary monitor and what is the secondary ?

Hi Brian,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You can mirror the displays or make whichever display you want the primary in Extended Desktop mode. See this article for details:
How to use multiple displays with your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019
The white bar at the top of the left blue box represents the menu bar and determines which display is your primary display. To change your primary display, click the white bar and drag and drop it on the blue box representing the display you would prefer to be your primary display.
Cheers,

Connection Help via VGA without apple's VGA adapter

Hi, I just bought a brand new mini online today. I deglected to purchase a mini-dvi to vga adapter thinking i do not need it with my current setup.
--Windows pc with a dual DVI out graphics card(1 dvi-vga adapter connected to a vga cable--->to the monitor)
Can i simply take that DVI-VGA adapter off my pc and throw it on apple's DVI.. plug my monitor cable into that and get video? OR... do i need to run to microcenter when i get my mac just for a 30$ adapter to VGA?
I planned on getting a TV within the next month or two using a DVI-HDMI cable anyway.. so i was trying to make due with what i already had.
Thanks in advance,
-Joe

I understand that the mini comes with a mini-DVI adapter, and that would be put to use connecting it to a DVI-VGA adapter that comes with most graphics cards now-a-days. which then would essentially a VGA out port for the mac mini.... in turn being able to connect it to my monitor via VGA cable... correct?
Here is an example of what im talking about: http://img.tomshardware.com/us/2005/11/23/pcinterfaces_101/vgadvi1.jpg
If i connect that to the included mini-DVI to DVI adapter that comes with the mini TO that adapter in the picture TO a basic VGA cable.. technically it should work?
A bit hillbilly rigged but its better than wasting 30$ on a brand new cable i'd never use again after like two weeks.
I've got a day or two before the mac actually comes so I'm just trying to head off any problems ahead of time.

T61p and 1920x1080 via VGA?

I have Thinkpad T61p (6457-CT0) with NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M and internal LCD with 1680x1050 running on XP SP3, and now I bought Samsung SM2333HD 23” external LCD monitor with 1920x1080 (HDTV) resolution and I want to use dual view (int. 1680x1050 + ext. 1920x1080). The problem is when I connect ext. monitor via VGA with 1920x1080 - picture on ext. monitor is cropped from left, smaller and positioned beyond borders of visible area. Picture adjustments aren’t helping at all. When I lower resolution to 1680x1050 it is ok, but the image is blurry because it’s not native resolution of ext. monitor, so I don’t want to use it. When I try only ext. monitor with 1920x1080 with disabled internal LCD, there is still the same problem, and on 1680x1050 picture is ok, but blurry. Resolutions higher than 1920x1080 are not possible in Display Properties/Settings/Screen Resolution settings or in NVIDIA Control Panel.
I have borrowed Thinkpad Advanced Mini Dock with VGA and DVI output, and when I use DVI to connect ext. monitor, everything works fine and picture is ok, but via VGA on docking there is the same problem.
I have latest drivers for NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M from Lenovo 6.14.11.7715 (2009-01-08), and latest IBM Presentation Director 4.03 (2009-02-12), but I have also tried with older drivers and Presentation Director, but it’s all the same, only picture is differently cropped, smaller or wider. Also, strange thing is when I, , try to make a new Display Scheme in IBM Presentation Director on internal LCD + ext. monitor via VGA, it offers max. resolution of 1680x1050, which is not the case with DVI.
Just to be sure, I connected T61p via VGA to LG 32” full HD LCD TV, the picture has identical problems, so it’s not up to monitor. I have also tried to connect HP 6710b laptop via VGA to same Samsung SM233HD monitor and there are no problems, it can produce 1920x1080 with clear picture. I have also connected T61p via VGA to Lenovo L220x monitor, and now Display Properties/Settings/Screen Resolution settings (other than 1680x1050) offer 1920x1080 and 1920x1200 resolutions. When I set 1920x1080 the problem is identical, but when I select 1920x1200, picture is ok.
So my conclusion is that T61p is not capable of producing 1920x1080 via VGA correctly, although it can produce 1680x1050 and 1920x1200. The main difference is that 1680x1050 and 1920x1200 are 16:10, but 1920x1080 is 16:9, so I am guessing that VGA output on T61p has problems with 16:9? Or is there problem with sending analog signal via VGA when it exceeds internal LCD native resolution (1680x1050) only for some resolutions? I have tried searching Internet and forums, but there are no answers. Maybe it is the problem when internal LCD is 16:10 and external monitor via VGA is 16:9 and I use dual view? I think there should be no problems with Quadro FX 570M and I don’t want to buy Thinkpad Advanced Mini Dock just because 1920x1080 only works with my monitor via DVI which is present on casing of T61p (and because it’s firm’s laptop, not mine). Do you have any suggestions what is wrong with graphics adapter, drivers or VGA output or how can I solve it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Through NVIDIA Control Panel, which you should have if you installed drivers.. You can get it via Display Properties -> Settings tab -> Advanced button -> Quadro FX 570M tab -> Start the NVIDIA Control Panel.
In NVIDIA Control Panel on the left side in the tree select Display, Manage custom resolutions, select external display on the right and click Create...
In the Custom Resolutions window click on Advanced >> and (in Back-end parameters section) in Timing Standard select Manual. You'll be able to enter (in Advance Refresh Rate Parameters) under Desired refresh rate value from 59.500 to 60.499. I have tried 59.500 and it worked... You can also try to change other settings, if you understand the meaning. There is a Test button in the upper right corner.
Hope it helps...

Resolution via DVI lower then via VGA

Hello,
I need your support for my new HW composition.
I have a new DELL Latitude E5440 and the fitting DockingStation DELL PR02X.
Connecting my monitor via DVI I get a max. resolution of 1440x900.
Connecting my monitor via VGA I get a max. resolution of 1680x1050 (max of monitor).
With my former laptop of FSC I could use the monitor via VGA in the highest resolution.
Can you please help me to get the high resolution via DVI?
Thank you very much for your help in advance,
Scorino

Hello,
the Docking station is using dual link DVI.
The docking station has two Display Ports...one under each DVI port.
Currently I don't own a display port adapter and no display with a display port.
Furthermore DVI dual link should be able to get a resolution of 2048 x 1536 Pixel, not 1280 x 1024.
I would like to use this docking station with DVI and high resolution (Full HD).
Currently I don't understand why this is not possible.
My last laptop was able to produce Full HD to my displays via the same cable.
Just the Laptop and the docking station changed. I'm sorry that I cannot connect DVI directly to the laptop, because there is no port available.
Thanks for your answer in advance.
Scorino

I want to use multiple iPads as external monitors from a PC using the iPad VGA adapter (wired)

I want to send a VGA signal to a couple of iPads using them as monitors. I currently use a pair of regular 13" VGA 1024x768 lcd monitors looping thru an LCD projector displaying the same signal sent to the projector.
I want to use the iPad VGA adapter and WIRE them in just like a convention LCD monitor. Yes there are apps like air display and others but they don't allow cloning and have latency issues and must be networked. I need an app to use the VGA adapter and actually wire them in using a VGA signal from my existing VGA distrubution amp.
The size of the iPad is perfect for my application however I cannot find an app to let me send a signal into the iPad via VGA adapter.
Any ideas?
thanks,
the Sherm

DreamColor Monitor from PC via VGA: Color-Space & Settings?

Context:
Premiere CC on a WIndows 7 laptop with an external DreamColor monitor connected via VGA port (for convenience rather than bit depth).
What color space is appropriate in the DreamColor settings, i.e. what is the VGA likely to be supplying? DreamColor's config options are: [ Full | AdobeRGB | Rec.601 | sRGB | Rec.709 | DCI P3 Emulation ]. I'm guessing sRGB, but is that reasonable e.g. is it the Adobe kind?

Several questions spring to mind ... first, are you calibrating this with an actual "real" calibration tool, such as the i1Display units, anything? Because ... if the answer is no ... well, the output isn't set to any particular "there" before you even start, is it?
Next ... what are you going to be outputting for? B-cast TV? Critical web use? Your own YouTube/Vimeo channel for the heck of it? Family records? Whatever is going to be the "heaviest" output (meaning demands on color space) sets the minimum from what your choices can offer. Critical web work or such, you would either want the Adobe RGB or the Rec.709 I would think. For just fun stuff, the sRGB would work ok.
Fwiw ... Adobe RGB is a wider color space than "standard" sRGB. Rec.601 & Rec.709 are "broadcast" standards that include specialized base/gain/gamma settings. Rec.709 is the newer and far more common one of the two ... and it sets "black" as at value (in 8-bit terms) of 16 and "white" at 235. Data outside those values are used for technical purposes within the "system". Some modern video cams record in Rec.709, btw.

If you use Lion, go to Applications/ Mission Control and, if you have more Desktops, as attached, it means you have more, and you must select the one you need for a certain app. If default settings has not changed, this is Control with left / right arrow
If in Snow Leopard and earlier, you have these settings in System Preferences only. In Lion, you also have some settings in Sys Prefs.
