good luck. I've had pretty good luck with the Apple DVI adapter, but Other World Computing makes very good equipment and add ons. On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 12:05 PM, Bruce Sorge wrote: > > Ya I'm going to exchange it. I'll also bring my laptop with me and try it out > on some monitors they have a

Ya I'm going to exchange it. I'll also bring my laptop with me and try it out on some monitors they have at the px. Sent from my iPhone 4S. On Nov 21, 2012, at 12:02 PM, "Larry C. Lyons" wrote: > > That's what I'm thinking right now. Hey Bruce can you get another > adapter and see if that

That's what I'm thinking right now. Hey Bruce can you get another adapter and see if that works? On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 11:51 AM, Jim Campbell wrote: > > You don't need a Thunderbolt monitor. I've had a Thunderbolt -> DVI > connector (and a cheap one, at that) hooked up from my iMac to a Samsun

You don't need a Thunderbolt monitor. I've had a Thunderbolt -> DVI connector (and a cheap one, at that) hooked up from my iMac to a Samsung 2343BWX for more than a year - no problems at all, and it worked immediately. Very likely just a bad adapter. - Jim On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 10:27 AM, Bruc

Yeah. Well I figured out that the monitor sees the adapter. When I unplug it, I get a message that says no DVI-D cable, and when I plug it in it says entering power save mode. Weird. On Nov 21, 2012, at 11:21 AM, "Larry C. Lyons" wrote: > > Unfortunately Cam and some of the other Mac users

Unfortunately Cam and some of the other Mac users don't seem to be available. You may want to check with JJ though. On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 11:16 AM, Bruce Sorge wrote: > > I can assume that the monitor works because when I turn it on the display > says entering power save mode, so it shows so

I can assume that the monitor works because when I turn it on the display says entering power save mode, so it shows something at first. I am going to assume that this particular model won't work with my mac. I will exchange the adaptor though just to rule that out. On Nov 20, 2012, at 10:11 PM

It could be the monitor, or the connector. wish I could help more but I'm thoroughly burned out. Have a good night. On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 10:06 PM, Bruce Sorge wrote: > > Unfortunately I can't because none of my other windows laptops have DVI > connectors, only VGA. To be honest I have not us

Unfortunately I can't because none of my other windows laptops have DVI connectors, only VGA. To be honest I have not used this monitor since 2010 when I got rid of the desktop it was hooked up to, but it worked fine then. On Nov 20, 2012, at 10:03 PM, "Larry C. Lyons" wrote: > > Have you tr

Hey Mac folks, So today I bought a Thunderbolt to DVI connector and tried to power up my Dell LCD monitor I have, but no joy. System preferences says that there is no device plugged in. Googled this but could not find my exact issue. Does anyone know if there is something that I have to do to m
