Which cable for pc laptop to apple monitor

Hi-
I have a PC laptop, which has a VGA output
I have an Apple monitor, that I think is a thunderbolt display...it has one of the thunderbolt (lightning) icons on one of the empty ports in the back...there's no writing on the monitor and I don't have the box or receipt so I cannot say for sure this is what it is.
So would this be the right cable to get my PC to display on the monitor? -->

I noticed my laptop has an HDMI port as well. Would that work?

HT1338 Power cable for Macbook not working / Apple Care discount?

My power cable for my Macbook stopped working. I went to the bookstore at my school and at first they told me I could get a discount on a new one ($29 instead of $79) because I have Apple Care. Then they told me that was a mistake and I have to pay full price even though I have Apple Care... True/false????

It appears your Macbook is at least 2 years old. If you have the extended warranty and there is no physicla damage to your power adapter, then you "might" be eligible for a free replacement.
Have you tried replacing the duckhead adapter yet? That's the part that normally fails first.

Cables for MacPro and Dell 3008WFP monitor

I have ordered an new MacPro with 8 core processor with the ATI 5770 video card. The display will be a Dell 3008WFP.(30 inch lcd). Dell suggests "dual-link DVI-D compatible graphics card that supports this resolution" I think the ATI 5770 card works for this application but would like to know the appropiriate cables that need to be purchased. Thanks

Apple 5770 product page:
ATI Radeon HD 5770 includes three video ports: two Mini DisplayPorts and one dual-link DVI port. This allows you to connect the 24-inch Apple LED Cinema Display plus another Mini DisplayPort-based display, and a DVI-based display such as the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display. Display adapters are available to connect VGA displays.
*Does the mini display ports support the new 27" monitors from dell? These monitors require dual-link dvi.*
DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort only differ in connector size. Electrically they are the same. DisplayPort easily supports 2560 x 1600 resolution.
The Dell U2711 has a DisplayPort interface.
All you need is an adapter from standard DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort (the U2711 ships with a DisplayPort cable) or you can use a 6 foot (2m) DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable. The same goes for the U2410, 2408wfp, and 3008wfp.
Also,
If you're referring to the u2711, it also has DisplayPort, and you can use a simple MDP-DP adapter instead of getting a pricier MDP-DVI converter. That's what I would do.

I need help finding a replacement hard drive/IR sensor cable for my laptop.

I have a 17" Macbook Pro from September 2009, and the hard drive cable has ripped at the junction where the hard drive cable and the IR sensor cable meet.
My brother needed to use my comp to try to transfer stuff from the hard drive from his broken laptop to an external hard drive, and the cable ripped the second time he was fiddling with it.
Here are some pics:

When searching for "macbook pro unibody 2009 17" hard drive/ir sensor cable" it doesn't come up with any for the 17" but it comes up with a bunch for 13" and 15" and it seems like the 15" ones would work for my computer.
(Like the one in the picture on this page: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+MacBook+Pro+15-Inch+Unibody+2.53+GHz+Mid+ 2009+Hard+Drive-IR+Sensor+Cable/1520/1)
I'm having no success finding a cable that looks just like the one in my comp that's specifically for the 17" that goes to the hard drive AND the IR sensor. For example, all I've been able to find so far are things like this:
http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Pro-17-Inch-Unibody-Hard-Drive-Cable /IF162-015
which does not appear to be the cable I need, as it doesn't seem as though I could attach the IR sensor cable to it.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Which cable for USB Power Adaptor

This Nano is my first ipod and I recently purchased a USB Power Adaptor, from ipods4less, to use in the event I didn't have access to a computer to charge it.
I thought the cable that came with the Nano would work but the USB end of the cable is a little too big to plug into the power adaptor.
Would someone be able to tell me exactly what cable I should buy that will plug into this power adaptor?
Thanks.

I'm wondering - is there such a thing as a firewire adaptor? I'm wondering if instead of a USB power adaptor, which I ordered, ipods4less sent me an adaptor that needs a firewire connector. Since the hole in the adaptor is smaller than the USB plug but it's similar then maybe a firewire is needed.
I sent ipods4less an e-mail and I'm waiting for a response to see if that's the case.

Which cable for the add-on HDD for Split X2?

Does anyone have an idea about which HP cable is used for the extra HDD that is installed (by the consumer) in the keyboard dock?
It looks like a DV5 series cable.
I ask, as these cables are only about $5 of $6 dollars, whereas the "kit" (cable and chassis for the HDD) is $50 from HP.
Thanks,
Garrett

I tried many things until I eventually bought the kit. Sorry not to be able to help.

Which cable for 8800GT Component TV-Out?

Hi all,
I just wondered what kind of cable you require to utilize the Component TV Out plugs of the connector shipped with the card. I know you have to use a Male / Male plug for the S-Video, but I can't find the Component equivalent. What would that be called?
Thanks in advance.

Are you referring to this cable? :
If so it's an S-video to HDTV cable.

Which cable do i need for dell monitor Dell Ultrasharp U2713H - macbook 13' retina?

Which cable do i need to attach monitor to macbook pro for optimum display resolution?
thank you

The resolution is supported, whether at 60 Hz, I do not know.
Here are the Monitor Specs:
http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/monitors/en/dell_ultrasharp_u2713h _specs.pdf
In order to obtain the resolution that you require, it seems that you will need a minidisplayport - minidosplayport cable such as this:

I do not know the answer to that. Experiment or call Dell technical support.

Laptop as 2nd monitor

A bit strange, but... I've got a new mac pro tower w/ a 23" Apple cinema display... by chance is there a way to connect my old Titanium laptop to the second (empty) video port in order to use the Titanium LCD as my menu monitor while I retouch on the main cinema display screen?
Thanks in advance.

It is technically possible.
There are a few windows only solutions available (see http://www.maxivista.com/ for example), but X has supported this via xdmx (http://dmx.sourceforge.net/) for quite some time now. See this article as well: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/os-mltihed/index.html
Not sure if an osx port exists for xdmx, but a quick google for "use laptop as second monitor" returns a lot of results.
Not saying it's a practical solution, just that it is possible.

Hello,
Please could someone help me decide which cable I need to buy to connect my bt hub to the bt set top. Eg I know I need an RJ11 cable for the bt hub to the phone socket but which cable for hub to set? I have an older hub, about a few years old, ithat a makes a difference to the type of cable.
Many thanks.

Thanks for your help. Sorry for not explaining properly but the cable kit original kit is damaged as it was chewed by my rabbit and it'sthecable from the hub to the bt vision box I'm looking for. I don't want to go into a shop and get ripped off with an expensive cable so just looking for a cable I can from online (but need to know what I'm looking for, which I don't! I am so clueless!).
Thanks again. Hope you know what I mean now.
Ah, my bad. I took it you were either coming back to BT or was explaining to us that you were already a BT customer and was thinking of taking out BTVision and was wondering what cables were needed. The reason I mentioned scart and hdmi was purely to let you know that the only additional cost would of been an HDMI cable.

I'm in the market for a laptop. Which of Apple's laptops will I best connect 2 external monitors/displays?

I'm in the market for a laptop. Which of Apple's laptops will I best connect 2 external monitors/displays?

I've just bought a Pro Retina. As far as I know this is the only one which will connect 2 external monitors running different programmes ie not cloned.
You use the 2 thunderbolt ports for the DVIs (if they're not Apple monitors)
You need 2 thunderbolt to DVIs. MiniDisplay port to DVI might work too (MIGHT WORK! Not sure yet) and these are a lot cheaper.

Want to use my laptop as a monitor for PS2. Component cables connect how?

Since the big fancy TV townstairs is not exactly my personal one, I would like to play whenever, and wherever I want. I know I can connect HDMI cables via an adaptor, but this is component I am dealing with.
What exact adaptor do I need to connect component AV cables to my laptop, and how make it work as a monitor?

Buying another HDTV likely would be the better choice as it's a larger screen, easier to play games and watch movies than prematurely burning out your expensive laptop and wearing out the port connecting and reconnecting.
A PS2 is really a console designed to be more or less pernamently connected to a HDCP compliant HDTV for high quality content, not a non-compliant laptop computer.
But I guess if you want to screen record PS2 games for some reason, this should work.

Which cable to use for 2 external monitors on MacBook Pro?

Hy there,
I'm currently using one external monitor on my MacBook Pro via a mini display to VGA cable from apple.
I would like to hook up another (second external monitor) one using also VGA.
After doing some research I've learned that I should use some sort of adaptor cable for this. I'm just wondering if there is any way of getting one of there for a decent price in europe? (decent is sub €100).
Thanks a lot!

Which cable should I use for a MacBook to external VGA monitor

Hello everyone
Having just come back to Apple, last having used a Apple 2E way back in the 70's, I've got to get used to non-IBM compatible stuff!
Please advise which cable is needed to hook up to a standard IBM compatible VGA screen/cable.
Also, will the same cable do for an overhead projector with a VGA input port.
Thank you

Hi and welcome to Discussions and welcome back to the Apple world,
this are the tech specs of your MacBook http://support.apple.com/kb/SP579 so you need a MiniDisplayPort to VGA adapter like this one http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4MzU1NDg for connecting your IBm display and your projector.
