What kind of DVI?

I have a PowerMac G5 with the Radeon 9600 Pro. The video card has one DVI output but I'm not sure what KIND of DVI it is? My monitor has a DVI-D input and the DVI cable that came with the computer doesn't fit in this input so I can only assume the 9600 Pro has either a DVI-I or DVI-A but all I can find is that it's a dual-link DVI. Anyone know which one?

So what kind of cable came with the computer
originally if it won't connect to the monitor? A
DVI-I cable? If so, what is the difference between
the DVI-I cable and the DVI-D cable?
Are you sure the cable came with the computer? All Apple displays come with their own cables, so I didn't think Apple would provide a cable with the computer. Here are pictures of the different types of DVI connectors.
<http://www.interfacebus.com/DesignConnector_Digital_Visual_Interface_DVIBus.html> You can't always tell the type of DVI just by looking at the connector, though. Often the connector will have pins that are not connected. For example, a single-link DVI graphics board may include the pins used for double-link DVI. This would allow the use of a dual-link DVI cable to connect a single-link display (assuming the display allow the use of the connector.

  • What kind of DVI cable do I need?

    Hi. I want to run video from my PB12 to my plasma TV (I know I need a separate audio cable).
    I have the mini DVI to DVI adapter that came with the PB. My question is really, how many pins must the HDMI - DVI cable have? I see so many available with 18 (+1), but my adapter is 24 (+1).
    Do I NEED a 24 pin, or can I use the much easier to find 18 pin?
    thanks!

    I use the adaptor to transfer the signal to a VGA format and simply bought a VGA cable from monoprice.com. Very good deals on all kinds of cables.
    I recently ordered a VGA cable for a friend and they sent me a DVI to HDMI cable by mistake. I bet that would work fine too. It would seem to me that DVI is DVI, and there aren't any optional connectors that will work without all the possible pins in place.....in other words, I don't know for sure about the pin thing...I'd just get a DVI to HDMI, at the length you need, and see if it works.

  • What kind of DVI Cables does the Mini Take?

    I want to get a DVI cable for my iLo 15in LCD but I'me confussed with the type get. I know that The Mini and my monitor are DVI male but at the mini's output after the grid of pin inlets theres a horizontal and vertical inlet that makes a plus sign look along with one inlet in each space. The DVI to VGA Adapter on the DVI ( female ) side has same plus sign pins but in the large grid of pins, there a gap in the middle. The mini doesn't have that gap on the output.
    On the LCD's DVI input, it has that entire grid of pin inlets ( holes ) with no gap but next to the grid there is only one horizontal inlet. It does'nt have that plus sign look like the mini's output. Nor does it have those four inlets on each side of the cross. It's just has a horizontal inlet.
    I'm not familiar with DVI so I'm confused. Some cables on the market hace that cross and the gap in the middle of the pins, some only have the horizontal pin and the grid of pins with no gap. ( Help )!!!!!!!!!

    I'm not completely following you, mostly cause my math sklls bl0w.
    But I think you're making a distinction, perhaps without knowing it, between a DVI and an ADC connnector.
    Digital Video Input is the first connector you refer to, I believe.
    Twenty four pins in a 3 x 8 config and the section for video color you refer to as the plus sign. This is technically 5 pin.
    The other connector sounds like an Apple Disply Connector (or ADC). These are 30-pin in a 3 x 10 config plus the video color 5-pin.
    You can get picture perfect clear on this here

  • What kind of mac would I need for Nexflix, basic search and email? Also, sounds silly, but can I connect an HDMI from Mac to tv?

    What kind of mac would I need for Nexflix, basic search and email? Also, sounds silly, but can I connect an HDMI from Mac to tv?

    Just an FYI.  The Macs named PowerMac date from early 2006 and before.  Use this tip to discover where to post once you get your Mac:
    Site map of Communities and Categories
    The cheapest Mac available new is a Mac Mini.   It is no bigger than many an external hard drive.  But the screen and keyboard and mouse must be purchased separately.  They support USB and Bluetooth keyboards and mice, and pretty much any DVI, HDMI, or displayport display.   Although the iMac is certainly an attractive option if all you want to deal with is deciding on a printer.   I still recommend getting an Apple USB keyboard for the occasional times you may need to troubleshoot startup issues.  Normally not a problem, but as it gets older some issues can be fixed at startup or diagnosed at startup.

  • What kind of adapter do I use to connect a Sony display (currently part of my PC setup) to a Power Mac g5?

    What kind of adapter do I need to connect a Sony display (from my PC) to my PowerMac g5? Note that I've never used a Mac before and I just acquired a used g5, model A1047.

    If Sony display has VGA port, DVI to VGA adapter or cable works.
    If Sony side is DVI, DVI to DVI cable works.

  • What kind of input for Wrapping tool

    Hi
    I am using below command for wrapping tool
    IntuneMAMPackager -i /Users/xyz/Desktop/upload/myapp.ipa -o /Users/xyz/Desktop/upload/output/myapp_Wrapped.ipa -p /Users/xyz/Desktop/upload/xyz_Distribution.mobileprovision -c 7878200C2E4B2F892BB53E75F4042461474CD112
    What kind of input supposed to give for "-i" parameter?
    As my understanding we can give input as ".app or .ipa" for the Wrapping tool, Is that correct?
    Can we give input as "apps downloaded from apps store"?
    Can we give input as "installed apps on the mac machine(eg: App Strore.app)
    Can we give  input as ".ipa(myapp.ipa) which is created for my app using xcode from developement profile and certificate"?
    Can we give input as ".ipa(distrubitioon/enterprise ipa) which is created using xcode from distribution profile and certificate"?
    Waiting for your reply,
    Regards,
    Venkatesh Guttal

    The Mini comes with an HDMI->DVI-D adapter.  So, if your monitor
    supports DVI-D you are set.  If it supports HDMI, you just need an
    HDMI cable.
    If it only supports VGA, you will need a Display Port->VGA adapter.

    You don't need a server, you just need a web hosting package such as the ones from GoDaddy or many other hosts. You then send the web gallery directly from LR to your web space.

  • I am traveling to India, north and south, with my ipad 2, G-3. It is activated by AT and T. How do I use it in India? Do I need to purchase a sim card there and if so what kind? Would they be available in the Delhi airport or where else in central Delhi?

    I am traveling to India, north and south, with my ipad 2, G-3. It is activated by AT and T. How do I use it in India? Do I need to purchase a sim card there and if so what kind? Would they be available in the Delhi airport or where else in central Delhi?

    Also in order not to pay a fortune for the service is it better to acquire if needed a SIM card only once there?
    Check with your carrier about roaming charges.  They are usually prohibitive.  Best to get a local SIM.

  • What's a DVI-to-VGA connection have to do with sleep?

    I've been experimenting with hooking my HDTV to my Mac Pro's 5870 video card. Currently I have my 27" ACD connected to one of the mini displayports (mDP) and a VGA, connected through an Apple VGA-to-mDP (active) adapter to the other mDP. When I want to use the TV I can connect the HDTV to the 5870's DVI connection with a (passive) HDMI-to-DVI adapter. It works. Indeed it works too well! Whether the TV is taking input from the computer or not the computer thinks the TV is a third monitor which can get very confusing when the mouse is accidentally moved off my ACD on to the TV (6 feet away) and I can't find the cursor. Another minor nit is that using the DVI means no audio can be passed on the HDMI so the computer speakers are used unless of course I hook up a separate audio connection.
    I could get around the 3-monitor problem using SwitchResX but I prefer not to. I'm willing to simply manually connect and disconnect the HDMI cable on those few times I want stream stuff to the TV. But as an alternative I tried switching the TV and VGA connections, i.e., connect the TV to the mDP through a (passive) mDP-to-HDMI adapter and the VGA through a (passive) VGA-to-DVI adapter.
    This second scheme also works. However because all the adapters are now passive the VGA will disconnect when the HDMI is plugged in. Ok. I can live with that and I understand the behavior due to the 3-monitor limitations of the 5xxx cards (i.e., active adapters required).
    All the above was just background and context leading to the question I entitled this post with. Forget the HDMI connection. I have the ACD connected to its mDP and the VGA through the passive VGA-to-DVI adapter (i.e., the second scheme I described above). With this configuration my machine will not sleep on its own (i.e., at the time the energy saver specifies). I can "manually" put it to sleep ("Sleep" from the Apple menu). It just won't do it on its own (and none of the checkboxes in energy saver are checked -- wake for network for example -- and no active processes are running that would explain this behavior either).
    Experimentation has shown that it is somehow related to using the VGA through the DVI. If I put my original configuration back (VGA-to-mDP) the machine will sleep on its own at the designated energy saver preference time.
    What I don't understand is what's a DVI connection have to do with the energy saver sleep setting? The only remote possibility I can think of is perhaps the screen saver is running on both the VGA and ACD and an active VGA is sufficient to make the machine think there's activity when connected through the DVI (but not when connected through the mDP).
    Of course none of this is really a serious problem. I'm only asking for academic interest.

    I know I can do that but that's not the subject of this thread! I'm only asking why would a VGA connection to DVI keeps the computer from sleeping on its own.
    And, oh, by the way, another audio alternative is something like this,
    http://www.gefen.com/gefentv/gtvproduct.jsp?prod_id=5279
    although this requires stringing a separate audio cable.

  • I saw that I can order an iPhone and they will connect it to my Verizon but I have no idea what kind of package to get

    I have 2 lines that the contracts are expired.  I see that I can set an appointment, have them set up the iPhone of choice to my Verizon account and it even says that they will give me any product upgrade benefits.  I find this hard to beleive.  For one of the lines i have a product upgrade of $50 (Verizon calls it New Every Two which they did away with but still offer it to people who had it and did not use it yet).  On my other line there is a $35 product upgrade.  I can't beleive that Apple would give these product upgrade rewards( the $50 for the one line and the $35 for the 2nd line)
    does anybody know how to tell if someone is with a carrier like Verizon, how to figure out what kind of iPhone package I should get so Verizon can't get me for going over my ;allotted minutes, text messages, internet usage, etc.  I have never used a smartphone so I have no idea how to tell what kind of package I need for the iPhone.  anybody else know?  I saw that Sprint has a package that is "unlimited with all 4 services like text messages, internet usage, calls, etc for $99/mo.  is this still the case?  Verizon does everything they can to rip you off and charge you for going over.  I have not been able to figure out how I can tell when I am getting close to going over.  is there an app to tell this?
    Any suggestions about getting this servic where apple sets it all up, teaches you how to use the phone, gives a decent warranty and offers applecare.  any other carier that would be better?  I heard that the unlimited data transfers does not mean "unlimited" but they still put an amount on the unlinites and if you go over you get docked.  I hate Verizon.

    I should say before everybody else does I never learned how to type and barely learned how to write and spell so I probably should have done this some other way.  Sorry.

  • I need to install on macbook pro (early 2008) one hard disk 1 TB. Is it possible? What kind of HD is it better?

    Thanks

    Take a look at what is offered by Mac specialists, such as OWC http://www.macsales.com and see what drives they handle.  Their drives are all guaranteed to be compatible with Macs.  And they have on-line videos that show how to do the installation.
    Even if there are problems getting them to deliver where you live, you can get ideas of what works well with your system.

  • I am moving to the UK, What kind of charger do I need?

    I have a MacBook I got in 2009. Im moving abroad in September and Im trying to figure out what kind of charger I will need. I know you can pop off the little plug part on the adapter, and I saw on amazon that I can buy an extension that fits onto the adapter with a UK head on it. Do you think this will work? Or am I going to have to buy a completely new charger? I hope not because the adapter head on Amazon is only like $10!!! Here is a link to the adapter head which I think might work http://www.amazon.co.uk/extension-power-Adapter-Charger-Macbook/dp/B004S6VIG2/re f=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1311011961&sr=8-3
    I guess Im just wondering if anyone else has had experience with this. I know the voltage in the UK is like 220 and in the Sates its only 110, and I obviously dont want to fry my computer or the adapter, so I just want to make sure Im doing the right thing!!!!!!!
    Thanks everyone!

    Thanks guys this is really helpful! Last time I was there I just used an adapter and ended up frying a few things haha so I think I'll get a cord instead!!! Yay, I love my Mac and would never want to hurt it haha, thank goodness they make things so easy
