What adaptor do i need?

I was given a Power Mac G4 tower and an apple studio display, the transparent case display. As I am use to all in ones, I have no idea what adaptor I need to hook up the display.
This is the info I got from the back of the tower: Manufactured in 1999
400 MGZ/64/10/DVD/56K/KB/1MB L2 cache
40 GB HD
OSX 10.3
It has a DVD-D port and a VGA port.
The display also has 2 USB ports.
The best way to explain this for me is, the plug on the display has 10 pins and the DVD-D has 8 holes. I know this sounds pretty elemental, but I am an idiot when it comes to this.

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
Is THIS your monitor?
If so, you need an ADC port equipped graphics card. There is a DVI to ADC adapter, but it only works with LCD monitors, and won't work with the 17" Studio Display CRT (ADC).
One further problem- the G4 that you list, a 400mhz AGP graphics aka "Sawtooth", doesn't have the power to the AGP port that is required to run the ADC port.
There was a 400mhz Gigabit Ethernet, but your production date is too early, and, the graphics card would have an ADC and a VGA port.
That particular monitor will only work with an ADC graphics card equipped Gigabit Ethernet, Digital Audio, Quicksilver, or MDD.
Confirm your graphics card ports HERE.

What adaptor do I need to attach my cinema LED monitor to my MacBook Pro ?

what adaptor do I need to attach my new LED Cinema monitor to my MacBook Pro? of course the salesman assurred me it would owrks - well it does with my last year's mac book pro - but I want to use it with my old MacBook Pro - what is the adaptor name or even the model number would be good..

thank you for your comments - after visit to apple, est buy and then a call to MacDoc store
I have purchased a Kanex C247DL cable adaptor - thru amazon for about $90.00 -
this allows for me to connect to a Non Unibody MacBook pro 15" laptop to a Apple 27' LED Cinema monitor
I needed a Female minidisplay port to a Male DVI adapter.
This Kanex made adapter allowed for the monitor ( which is one long cable with 3 plugs - 1 for power, 1 USB male and the 1 male mini display port- only 3 usb female ports in the back of the monitor itself)
to plug its USB and the minidisplay port from the monitor and then plug directly into my macbook pro thru the older styled monitor ( female) plug on the right of the computer + plugging into a USB port (which I have on both sides of my unit) - problem solved - i guess i will find out when the adaptor arrives -
The Apple store said there is no such thing..Best Buys Mac rep said we dont carry them and maybe fryes - fryes did have it online..and this local culver city, La company MacDocs didnt carry it any more but sent me to the manufacturer website...
I know the Thunderbolt monitor would not work - but the MacMail employees assurred me this monitor would...wrong..Well I guess I can too be a computer sales person....good thing I didnt give up ...

What adaptor do I need for MacBook Pro A1226?

Hi, I have a MacBook Pro model number A1226 - from late 2007 I think. It's a 15". I need a power adaptor for it as I got it second-hand and it didn't come with an adaptor. Can anyone help me out with what adaptor I need, and ideally including the adaptor model number?
Thanks heaps
Anna

Hi!
It's this one:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA348LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDEwMQ&mco=MTA4NDE2NDk
in the U.S. online Apple store. If you go to the online store for your country, you should be able to back into the proper model using the description of this one. What they call it should be the same. Just make sure the "15-inch" box is selected.

Have DVI monitor - want to add VGA monitor - what adaptor am I needing?

Well, Ii am at my office - not at home where my PowerMac is and I am wondering what adaptor I need to purchase in order to connect a second monitor to my G5?
I am already using my DVI port for my 19" monitor.
Surprise! When I tried to use my DVI - VGA adaptor (reaching behind desk scenario) it wouldn't work and I quickly realized, "Hey! That's not a DVI port :-|"
What kind of port is it and where is the best place to get the adaptor?
Thanks guys

I don't think there are many companies making these, but there is no reason another brand shouldn't work. If you can't find an ADC to VGA adapter, you could buy an ADC to DVI adapter
<http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/2.RSLID?mco= E1A673E1&nplm=T2774G%2FA> to connect your DVI monitor to the ADC port, and use your DVI to VGA adapter to connect your VGA monitor to the DVI port. Don't try an ADC to DVI followed by a DVI to VGA to connect the VGA monitor to the ADC port. ADC to DVI adapters may not pass through the analog signals needed by a VGA display.

What adaptor do I need to connect from mini display port to a dvi monitor

I want to connect a 2nd monitor to my mac mini via the mini display port, will the Apple adator do this ok or will I need an active adaptor

I had trouble with different Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapters, including a couple of Apple branded ones.
When I mentioned the problem to the Apple rep. at Fry's. He walked straight over to the rack, handed me a > Kanex Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D Adaper grined and said, I've never had one of these baby's come back.
After that my 2010 Mac Mini has been very stable running Dual 21.5" Samsung DVI monitors. One in on the Apple Supplied HDMI to DVI adapter, the other now on the Kanex Adapter has been rock solid for over a year.

How do I connect my MacBook Pro to my Network using Ethernet as there is nowhere to plug the Ethernet cable in? What adaptor do I need? then how do I keep everything, docs and emails, synchronised daily?

I have just bought a MacBook Pro and want to synchronise all data (excluding photos and music) and emails currently on my desktop iMac.
First question, how to I plug in an Ethernet cable to the MacBook so that the two can be connected to the same network via the ethernet? Step one of the Apple setup wizard has me flummoxed!
Second question, once I have that sorted, how do I keep the two devices synchronised (data files and email) and how do I keep the email synchronised to my iPhone?
Help!

Hi,
Already mentioned on the following post:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/VGA-on-laptop-HDMI-on-TV-needs-connected/m-...
You need a CONVERTER, not ADAPTER The setup:
The following list may help:
http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/sis.html?_kw=HDMI+To+VGA+COMPONENT+Adaptor+A+V+Digital+Converter
Laptop (VGA) ---- Converter from VGA to HDMI ------ TV
You also need sound, you can buy a converter with sound OR connect sound directly from laptop to TV.
Regards.

What adapter do I need to connect my Macbook Pro to my Samsung Series 4 4000 led tv?

I bought a PNY Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter but when I plug it in nothing happens. I am guessing that the tv isn't recognizing my Mac. What adapter do I need?

Of course it doesn't. But you can buy an adaptor from HDMI to the Mini-DisplayPort port on the computer.

I want to use SKYPE... what mike do I need & what Prefs are needed?

My G4 has a mike input plug ... But the mike I was using on my old Graphite sys will not fit.
Can anyone recommend a mike to use for SKYPE on my machine and please explain what Sys prefs are needed?
Thanks in advance.
Jim B

You didn't say what kind of G4 you had, but bear in mind some Macs have a mic-level input and others have a line-level input. Those with the latter (eg the latest G5 dual core Macs) don't pick up enough sound from a normal microphone without an amplifier. It's confusing because both inputs use a 3.5 mm headphone style plug and they look identical.
So if you're buying a headset that you might want to use if/when you change Macs, USB is the way to go.
I use the Logitech 350 USB headset and avoid the mic input altogether. It's best to use a headset rather than a mic, because the incoming audio from your caller won't 'feed back' into your microphone. You can use non-usb headsets coupled with Griffin's iMic USB adaptor as well, but that's an expensive solution.
Hope that helps.

What adaptor to use in S. America?

I´m in Argentina, trying to use a US Macbook. What type of plug adaptor do I need, specifically, so that I can SAFELY plug in and charge my Mac? Thanks!

hi there and welcome to Apple Discussions!
The adapter that comes with the MacBook can handle any amount of voltage between 100 and 240, so you should be fine. what you'll need is something to convert the US plug into the one used in Argentina. these are easy to come by. your best bet is one that is a multiple plug converter. they're usually black and relatively inexpensive. they don't convert the power, but only convert the type of plug needed. the MacBook charger will be able to handle the amount of power used in a standard plug in Argentina.
hope that helps!

What All Do I Need If I Want To Upgrade My Macbook Hard Drive?

hey guys.
i've tried reading up a little but i was hoping someone (or a few people) could give me some straight up answers.
if i want to upgrade my macbook hard drive what all do i need? just the hard drive? or are there other pieces?
also.. whats a good 250GB one? i found this one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-2-5-Western-Digital-250GB-SATA-Harddrive_W0QQitemZ220271 134397QQihZ012QQcategoryZ158853QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
is that one any good? i just know the name (Western Digital) and have heard good things about them...
any comments are welcome.
thanks!
beau

I got a 320GB sata 2.5" hard drive and installed it myself, its easy. I also got a caddy so I can use my old 120GB drive as a back up. Make sure u have everything backed up! Seagate and western digital drives are most popular. I asked similar q and got this answer"
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
If your backup is bootable, then boot from the external drive and use SuperDuper to clone it back to the newly installed drive.
Mac Pro 2.66 Ghz; MacBook Pro C2D 2.33 Ghz; MacBook Pro 2.16 Ghz Mac OS X (10.5.4) Intel iMac C2D 17 "; MacBook 2.0 Ghz.

Now, to install the hard drive, follow http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/MacBook-Core-Duo/Hard-Drive-Replacement/86/5/

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's exactly what you need. A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US
This is the only way to view a video on the TV. After connecting your MacBook Air to the TV, image on your TV should show immediately. Then, press Command and F1 keys to mirror your MacBook Air display, and open the video
