I don't know what's wrong with it.My ipod touch connects just fine and yet when i try to connect my new macbook it won't allow me to connect.I've never owned a macbook - so i have no idea how to fix this.
I currently have the network setup assistant running and configuring - but it's been about an hour and it hasn't done anything.Is there something else i need to do?
I started up my macbook like every morning and tada, the external screen was black, I thought thats strange so I unplug the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter and plugged it back in, the macbook screen turned blue for a second like it does when it recognizes a monitor being plugged but still stays black.
Complete Apple newbie actually. Just recently bought a MBP and want to get a large independent monitor while im using it at home. As much as I love the Apple display, I cant afford it at this time. I found a really nice Dell LED monitor that has DVI, VGA, HDMI outputs. Â
How can I hook it up to my MBP? What connectors must I purchase to make it work?Â

I am looking to buy a Wii but don't own a TV due to the ridiculous TV license fee you have to pay here in the UK to own one without being harassed by 'The Man.' Anyway, I own a mac pro which is hooked up to a Belnea 19" LCD monitor - resolution: 1024 x 768 @ 75 Hz. The mac pro uses a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphics chipset - don't know if that matters. I have looked at other threads that address this or a similar issue and I am still confused about whether I can connect a Wii directly to my LCD display via an adapter. What I have found in my searching is a box device called the Gadmei TV5821GXGA Gamebox for Wii which claims to allow audio and video feed to a monitor and speakers from a Wii.
I'm trying to connect my whitebook so I can watch iplayer on my TV. I've got a mini DVI to video adaptor and from that I've run an s video cable to the back of my tele. Audio is from the audio out to a phono adapter and into the tv. The T.V. is an oldish panasonic crt.
Now the audio is working so I know I've got the right channel on the tv but my comp doesn't seem to be recognising that it's plugged into the tv. Is what I'm trying to do posable, basically using my tv as a monitor?
The monitor came with the VGA cable, but not a DVI-D cable. Should I get the DVI-D cable and adapter instead of a VGA adapter? Why do I ask, because the adapters both cost $34 each (I'm Canadian) but the catch is for DVI I would have to add an extra $20 for the cable and I'm not sure if it's worth it or not since I'm tight on money.
Should I worry myself over getting a DVI adapter AND the additional cost which is the DVI-DVI cable?Already answered:Just like Windows which makes it super easy, I tried searching but didn't find the right solution... Does anyone know how I can extend the my MBP's monitor to my external as I can do this on my PC -> External but can't get it to work from my Mac.Just to clarify, I want to do this via Leopard, not XP, Vista or 7.
So I was just wondering, which cables would I need to get the best picture quality out of my soon to be new baseline 13in MBP, and onto my 24in ViewSonic Monitor. [URL]. And where is the best place (online) to buy the cable(s)?
I just got a used PowerMac G5, but I just realized my TV doesn't have a DVI connection, how do I control it remotely/screen sharing?It doesn't show up in the finder. What can I do to gain access to this?
What is the best way to hook up MBP to Syncmaster B2430? Everything looks great but the text. It's not sharp and there are random white dots that are on each letter. The pictures and videos are great. The color is nice and bright. But the text bugs me. I currently connect with an HDMI cable. Isn't DVI the same as HDMI, minus the audio?
I own a g4 quick silver which has a "formac" flat monitor. This monitor connects straight in to the g4. I have just bought a g5 but it will not connect, I have looked at adaptors but cannot find the right one. Does.
I want to connect my macbook pro to a monitor. the monitor has an HDMI and RGB inputs. which cords would i have to do to connect my macbook to the monitor?
But is there a preferred brand of adapter to connect a monitor with a DVI port to the Mini DisplayPort on my 15" MBP, like Monster? Or what do you all recommend?
I am looking for a monitor that can connect to my Macbook Pro, PS2, and Xbox 360. I have looked over various monitors and I cannot find one with all of the ports that I need. I am looking for a monitor that is around 22'' and no more than 200.00 USD.
Have new MacMini... need to connect both a display VGA and a separate digital projector but there is only the HDMI to VGA port. Could I use the Thunderbolt port for that purpose, and if I can, do I need a special cable and connector to VGA?
I have an old PC monitor that I want to connect to my new 27 inch iMac, it's the latest edition, the one that doesn't have any mini display ports.All I have are four USB 2.0 ports and two Thunderbolt ports. No mini display port of any kind. So is there an adapter for me? My old monitor can use either VGA or HDMI and I'm not really fussed which one I use. A link would be most helpful, surley that are more people with the same problem.
