VGA monitor and TV switchbox with Mini

I have recently purchased the EyeTV for DTT box for my Mac Mini. I currently use a Dell VGA monitor for my work but would like to watch TV broadcasts from the EyeTV through my TV. However, I don't want to keep unplugging the monitor and then plugging in the TV (via the DVI - S-video adaptor) each time I want to view EyeTV stuff. Is there some kind of switchbox available which would enable me to have both the monitor and TV connected and where I could just flick a switch to send the video signal to either the monitor or TV (note: I don't need the video signal to be displayed on both the monitor and TV at the same time).
Thanks in anticipation.

Sorry I misread your post.
One option would be an eyeHome which would connect to the ethernet port of the Mac mini.
Another option is a VGA Splitter.

  • VGA monitor and a 2010 Mac Mini - HELP PLEASE!

    I just upgraded from the early 2009 model where all you needed was a VGA to mini DVI adapter. With this 2010 model, Im not sure if thats possible (for cheap anyway). I have a VGA monitor and all I want to do is hook it up to the new mac mini ...but how? I've heard that because VGA is analog and HDMI is digital that it cannot be done for under $100 ..is this so? why oh why couldnt apple have stuck with mini dvi. Please someone advise how to do this ..or am I forced to buy a new monitor with DVI/Mini DVI/HDMI connections

    Forget the HDMI port. There's the Mini DisplayPort available, and all it takes is the right adapter:

    That should solve your problem.

    You can upgrade to Snow Leopard, Lion or Mountain Lion (coming next month), but you need Snow Leopard to upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion. Check this web to know how to add memory to your computer and the memory that it supports (probably, 3 GB).

    How do I plug a VGA monitor into a new mac mini?
    Why do Apple change everything all the time?

    You need an adaptor, HDMI to DVI is included in the package, take HDMI to VGA or thunderbolt which, in case of monitor, is the same as minidisplay port to VGA. Apple has always upgraded the best output port, unfotunately monitor manufacturers have not done the same.

  • I backed up all of my data on my laptop and uploaded songs as well, I then plugged my wifes' phone to upload the music to her device, my laptop then erased all her data (photos, videos etc) and replaced it with mine, is there a way I can restore it all?

    Good day
    I synced my iPhone4s with my laptop and loaded music on it, I then tried to upload the music from the same computer to a different iPhone4s and it deleted all the photos and data and replaced it with mine, is there a way to recover the lost data and photos?
    Please help!?

    You can only sync to one computer at a time. Changing the computer will erase all data on the device and replace it with the content of the new iTunes library. Only if you can restore from the latest backup of your wife's phone, you can get the data back.

  • My husband wiped out the library on his itunes account and replaced it with mine.  Any ideas on how to get it back?  Our laptop does not have his library either.  only mine.

    How exactly did this happen? Were you using separate iTunes libraries on separate user accounts on the laptop?

  • I synced my sisters phone with my itunes and now all her contacts have disappeared and been replaced with mine and also photos... she has never done a back-up is there any way we can get all her contacts and pictures back?

    I synced my sisters phone with my itunes and now all her contacts have disappeared and been replaced with mine and also photos... she has never done a back-up is there any way we can get all her contacts and pictures back?

    Look under iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is there a backup listed for her phone? First thing done when you sync is an iPhone backup. If you have not synced since screwing her phone up, restoring from that backup(if it exists) should restore her content. Do not sync after you restore her phone, eject it. So, first disable auto-sync on that same device pane in iTunes before you proceed. If this doesn't work, is your sister bigger than you? If so, run 'cause her data is gone .

  • Both Monitor and TV use with 1 adapter?

    I have a 13" MacBook. I also have a nice 19" Samsung flat screen monitor lying around here. Since my laptop sees most of its duty on a table during the summer (no school), I'm thinking of getting the monitor and a keyboard and hooking it up, even though it's enormous.
    Now, I know all I need is a Mini-DVI to VGA connector (apple sells it for $19).
    But the thing is, I'd like to also be able to connect my laptop to a TV (meaning I need the mini-DVI to Video connector, $19 again).
    I could buy both, but I don't want to spend $40 on just connectors. What's my best option? Is there any other way?

    Some TVs have VGA connectors on them, but I'm guessing yours does not. In that case, I think you are stuck buying two adapters.

  • Two VGA monitors don't work with two different G4s, but both work with G3!

    I recently acquired two used Power Mac G4s (one of them is a mirrored-door dual-processor that I got from school and was told should work, the other is a Gigabit Ethernet model, and should also work), from two completely different sources. They both turn on (I get a power-on light, I hear HDDs churning, and I get a power chime from one of them, and they react to the usual Mac stimuli, mouse and keyboard light up, reset button works, etc.) but I get *absolutely no video*. The monitor syncs for a second, like it gets a quick signal, then goes immediately back to the "CHECK SIGNAL CABLE" message.
    I have tried them both with two generic PC VGA monitors (though they were both kind of old and crummy ones, they work on my G3 and other computers. I've tried the working PCI video card from my G3, that doesn't work, nor does swapping their video cards. They both have Apple-supplied ATI AGP video cards, both with Apple's proprietary ADC interface, though one has only DVI out (with a DVI to VGA adapter that came with it) and the other has a straight VGA port.
    The weird thing is that, even though these computers have never, er, met before, they have the exact same problem. The only thing these things have in common is the monitor I'm using. This leads me to believe
    The only thing left I can think of is to hook them straight from the DVI port to my HDTV, but I don't have a DVI cable, much less know ANYTHING about DVI. Could it be that these particular VGA monitors don't like AGP video cards, or some sort of weird incompatibility that isn't well known?
    I figure if anyone's seen something like this, you guys have. Here are the AppleHistory entries on these machines, if it helps:

    The software on the hard drives may be set for a video setting that won't work with your monitor. A few things to try (in order):
    1) Reset PRAM. Hold down Cmd-Option-P-R when booting until you hear the third Boing.
    2) Hold down Option when booting. Should show symbol of hard drive, plus a couple of arrows.
    3) Boot from a CD (Install disk or, preferably, Hardware Test Disk).
    4) Safe boot. Hold down "S" just after the boing. Release it when (if?) you see the turning gear.
    If it is a scan rate problem, one of these should show some video.

  • Anyone else having trouble connecting MBP with thunderbolt port (TBp) and 27"iMac with mini display port (MDp)

    I have a 27" Imac.i7 with mini displayport and MBP13 i5 with thunderbolt port. Some time ago I tried to connect my old MBP with miniDP  to The 27"iMac I Failed so did the apple centre they refunded cable costs and said I'd be contacted by Cupertino. That was 9 months ago, now replaced MBP with 13 inch(**** I can use my iMac as display!). Does not work phoned Fast Lane very helpful guy called JIM emailed me some software/firmware update links.  Still no display linking. One of the links was for a couple of updates for a TBp equiped 27" iMac mine is only MDp equiped. Failing to find any MDp updates in apple support.  Anyone have any Ideas!  My lad has a later 27"i5 he uses Xbox 360 no problem on his but it wont look at my MBP.
    Beginning to feel like some of the kit that went with a fully loaded 5500 worked eventually. Computer and FM radio, Photography kit fine, video capture audio capture forget it.  Too many crashes and resets made it impractical.

  • Silent Monitor and Call record with voice vlan

    We are pretty new to CCX, and want to get silent monitor and call recording working. I've read a bunch of troubleshooting docs, and a bunch of the discussions here, but I am still unable to get it to work the way that I want.
    Heres the setup. The phones are all set to the recommended settings, and the agent pc is plugged into the phone. The data vlan is 111 and the voice vlan is 222. When I run the nicq prog on the agent pc, it can not find the phone, but I can enter the ip in , and it sees the phone. The supervisor laptop can not monitor or record.
    If I change the voice vlan to 111, nicq still can not find the phone, but the supervisor can record and monitor with no problem. Is is an issue with 802.1q and perhaps my nics do not support it?
    CCX Ver:
    8.5.1.11004-25

    Hi
    It could be, but it's pretty rare.
    Have you enabled 'PC Port Voice VLAN Access' and 'SPAN to PC Port' on the phone?
    Have you tried alternate PCs/laptops on the back of that phone?

  • Monitoring and recording problem with midi vs audio firewire

    I'm trying to record my Roland synth via Inspire firewire box into Logic express. I'm able to record and monitor thru the output of the inspire box. However If I'm using firewire, I can't hear other midi file tracks and vice versa. I keep switching input and output sources in the control settings but it seems like I either have to use all midi tracks or all audio tracks. Same situation with playback. I know this is wrong but am totally stumped. Any advice would by awesome.

    Dave, You might need an external DAW to do this, I got it working and I'm an idiot. There is only one I/O for logic and if you use it for the audio recording it's not available for the sounds you want to have coming out of logic. I have Roland Edirol UA-25USB2 and it works like a charm, If I understand what I did correctly, the sound and MIDI messages are routed via an Aggregate Device in the audio/MIDI set-up [you configure the device in the audio half] to the Edirol, and there are many extra functions to choose from-I avoid the 3.5mm audio out headphone plug by routing audio out through the DAW Edirol-much better sound quality than the mini stereo jack.

  • Wish a bigger led hd monitor and  the battery with longer standby time

    wish a bigger led hd monitor ,the battery with longer standby time and can be separated from cellphone , and less weight

    Sounds like you want a bulkier phone that weighs less or maybe since you want an HD monitor, you want a laptop instead .

  • Can I use my monitor and external speakers with apple tv

    I have an extra computer monitor (DVI input) and external speakers (3.5mm male audio jack.) Is there  some combination of adapters that I can use to hook up an apple tv to them in order to stream from netflix, and my itunes library?

    no but you can get tons of solutions where you connect something to your tv's minijack headset connector and then it wireless transfer the audio signal to a headset
    there are both bluetooth solutions belkin have one I use and there are also solutions where the headset is included and they use their own custom protocol
    but mind you there is no way to keep such setups in sync in terms of video and audio so if the system is poor in quality or pre-process the audio signal too much it cause audio and visuals to get out of sync

  • CCMS Configuration - Central Monitoring and Email Alerts with Solution Mgr

    I am trying to configure my CCMS alerts on my satellite systems to be linked into the Solution manager system (acting as the CEN monitoring node). If I have already setup my RZ20 alerts, is there a way I can just link these into Solution Manager.
    Thanking you for your suggestions

    Try setting up the monitoring RFC connections in SMSY. Once those are setup, you can pull the CCMS data in and view within tran SOLUTION+MANAGER.
    If you need more detail, just update this message.
