VGA adapter for touch and battery

I read that using VGA adapter with iPod Touch 4 apparently kills the battery in a very short time.
Anyone has experiences using VGA adapter with iPod?
I plan to use it for presentations, which usually take long time. If VGA really kills battery quickly I will stick to my laptop for presentations.

That is because of the DRM that is on the movie. VGA is good quality and can be copied.
You can either use a DIgital AV adopter since it can't be copied.

Or an adopter with less resolution than the VGA.
You can also display the movie on TV using the iPod and either the Apple iPod AV cable or the Universal Dock with an S-video and audio cable (see iPod: TV Out support for more information).

    Thanks in advance.

    The VGA is for the 4G iPod only. The 2G can use the composite and component cables.

  • VGA adapter for Itouch 4th gen

    I bought a VGA adapter for my Itouch to use on computer monitors. I have one at home and one at work. When I try to play a movie off my Itouch, I get the message "The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies".  Is there some way to authorize my computer monitors to play these movies?  I would use my laptop (HP) but it skips and freezes up when playing movies in Itunes, hence the adapter and Itouch. 

    That is because of the DRM that is on the movie. VGA is good quality and can be copied.

  • Fake Apple Macbook Pro Air VGA-Adapter for mini DisplayPort

    Hello everybody,
    in November 2009 I ordered a VGA-Adapter for my MacBook Pro at Amazon.de. I used it occasionally over the last year. But today it didn't show anything before a presentation. I went to a local Apple service provider and he said it's a fake one. I didn't see another one the last year, but he's right. I made some pictures you can see here:
    http://www.abload.de/img/img_09276ay7.jpg
    http://www.abload.de/img/img_09283len.jpg
    I'm not sure but I thought I would get an official one when I bought this. I checked my feedback at Amazon (because it's from a third party seller) and I mentioned that I was wondering why the adapter was in an official DVI for mini DisplayPort packaging. It was 10€ cheaper than the regular one. Not too much to think it's not official.
    It's way over warranty time, but I'm ****** it's not working after using it only 10 times over the year (just for presentations). What can I do after buying a fake one? Go back to the seller or not?

    Going back to the seller would be your only recourse, although Amazon might be able to assist if the seller advertised the adapter as a genuine Apple part and sold you a fake instead. After this much time, though, there's probably nothing Amazon can do, and it's doubtful the seller will do anything either since the adapter apparently worked without problem for over a year. Even if the part were genuine Apple it would be out of any warranty at this point.
    Time to just buy a new adapter, it would seem, if you haven't already.
    Regards.

  • Apple MagSafe Airline Adapter for MacBook and MacBook Pro

    Does the Apple MagSafe Airline Adapter for MacBook and MacBook Pro work in cars to in the cigerete lighter and how does it work on a airoplane cause in airoplanes there is only a mike connection thats about it ?

    This is an alternative solution that works great for me. I always carry a small and lightweight DC to AC converter with me in my case when I'm on the road. It's a Wagan Tech Smart AC 100 USB that I picked up at Costco for under 20 bucks. 100 watt capability and allows me to use all my electronics and chargers on the road. I can use it to charge the cellphone, laptop, ipod, etc.
    Even includes a USB port on the side for charging USB based products and also includes the aircraft adaptor (and of course a cigarette lighter adaptor) and everything fits into a small cloth bag (included).
    http://www.wagan.com/htmls/detail-2382.html
    The link is for the newer 120 watt version but it looks identical otherwise. If you don't have access to Costco then check the link provided for either direct purchase or the availability of other resellers. There's a "where to buy" tab at the top of the screen. Cheers!
    P.S. I just noticed that you are from the U.K. I'm sure this will still work as your MacBook charger should autoswitch down to 110v input, you'll just need to make sure you have the North American plug installed. If not, I'm sure there are similiar DC to AC adaptors available in the U.K. Hope that helps!

  • Weak support of Nokia and Suppliers for Touch-and-...

    Hello friends!
    After a long time of recherche, searching information, reading test reports and opinions in forums and testing lots of mobiles, I finally came to the result, that my e52 is the best solution in my case although it is not perfect - with its calender (s40-calender was much better, with better items and simpler parameters) and its T9 (typing on my s40-3120c is double time quicker than on the e52).
    The c3-01 for sure is a brilliant phone, also the x3-02 - the concept of Touch-and-Type is top, combined with the quick s40-operating-system. The combination of Touchscreen with 12-keys-keyboard was very interesting for me. The first test with this phone was also great - top feeling, easy understanding, quick system, good browser, great WLAN functionality, the good "old" calender and T9 behaviour.
    BUT:
    Then I read, that this phone doesn't support Google Maps or any other navigation tool, because the navigation buttons are now solved as touch behaviour.
    Then I searched for apps for this phone, but barely found some.Only themes, sounds etc. - everything, which is compatible to these phones.
    The problem is in the end, that Nokia forgot to implement a possibility to simulate cursor keys with the touch pad, e.g. "left" is pressing left area or moving from right to left. Tapping in the middle would be th Nav button.
    With such a adapter/converter it would be possible to use every tool for S40 and QVGA screen on the c3-01 and x3-02.
    So actually those mobiles are great ones - but without apps and without maps But IMHO it is not that important e.g. for pedestrians to know the own position, but it is important, WHERE somebody can find WHAT, e.g. where is that restaurant? With a browser you can find out the adress, but then again one has to hask somebody for the way to that adress.
    I used a normal simple s40-phone before, but it hat Google Maps, and only today I looked for a watch service, and I could find the place and the way to that service. With a c3-01 there would have been NO WAY.
    Maybe somebody at Nokia reads this proposal - Touch-and-Type is a brilliant idea, but something very essential is still missing.
    Best regards,
    Schlaumy
    "Two beer or not two beer?"

    Sorry to hear about the lack of navigation on the C3-01. I was looking at this phone to replace my E51, but I do not want to give up navigation (which works OK on the E51 with the not-approved-by-Nokia version of Ovi Maps posted on this forum, coupled with Maps Booster, only available for purchase outside the USA!). The E52 does sound like the best, but there is no North American version.
    Isn't it incredible how Nokia willfully conspires to not quite make the candy-bar phone everyone would want? They so cleverly avoid the obvious home run that I suspect they are afraid it would cannibalize sales from higher end models.
    Is Nokia so distracted by the iPhone that they have failed to notice that they are the only contenders for a small, unlocked, international, one-handed phone with long battery life that can nevertheless do Internet, Email, navigate and play music--all without incurring expensive network-connection charges (ie. able to use WLAN)?
    Here's what I want, and I am sure many others would too:
    unlocked
    all international frequencies, voice and data
    long battery life
    one handed operation: nice T9 keyboard with T9 Nav built in
    all frequencies of WLAN
    bluetooth
    Ovi Maps
    Maps Booster built in
    SmartConnect built in
    sturdy candy-bar form
    screen as large as C3-01
    sunlight readable display (as E51)
    USB charging
    USB data access
    MicroSD card
    3.5 mm stereo
    Internet browser as good as E51
    IMAP email as good as E51
    Come on, Nokia, we know you can make it!
    For goodness sake, you're already making the iPhone Nano--now do you understand?

  • What is the correct part number for dvi to vga adapter for macbook pro model A1260

    Can someone tell me the Apple part number for the DVI to VGA adapter that came with a Macbook Pro model A1260? (Early 2008)
    My adapter has reached the end of useful life.
    Thanks!

    You have a MacBook Pro 15" Early 2009 (MacBook Pro 4,1)
    The Mac's port is a Dual-link DVI (VGA, Composite and S-video with adapter)
    The DVI connector  connects to the Dual link-DVI port,thus you need a DVI to VGA adapter.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Micro%20Accessories/DVIVGA/
    You also can search the Apple store online for the part, but it's so basic and simple that paying more for Apple's version is just for looks.

  • Apple Micro-DVI to VGA Adapter for a White Macbook

  • Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter for new MacBook

    Hi,
    I have an old MacBook (2 years old) and am planning to upgrade to the new MacBook.
    Can my current Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter be used for this new MacBook as well?
    This is so that I don't have to order another Adapter if they are the same still.
    Thanks!
    QF

    A two-year old MacBook will have a Mini DVI port on it, not a Mini DisplayPort. So you will need a new adapter. Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter.
