Does this work on an older Mac G5 tower? I see this connection appears to be more square and the connection I need is the more rounded DVI...

Sorry, I don't know about older Mac G5 towers. This was exactly what I needed to connect my older MacBook Pro 4.1 to projectors for PowerPoint presentations. To find out what I needed to replace my lost adapter, I called Apple. They only sell the newest adapters themselves, but they will look up the information for you if you give them your Mac's serial number.

I believe that this adapter cable does work with the older G5 Tower. The square connector looks like the older style. Many of the newer connectors are smaller (before Thunderbolt) and not as square.

Dirk. I know nothing about the MAC...I'm a PC user and I can't find the paperwork that came with the monitor so I can look up the spec info you need, so I really don't have a clue if it is compatible with a MAC or not. Why wouldn't it be? Maybe if you check online with Samsung with this model number, that might give you your answer. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Yes, this is the same computer as I have. I paired it up with more modern cards such as the GeForce 670. Other sires that discuss the video card updates suggested pairing this card with newer one.... allowing one to see boot up while the newer... non-Mac Nvidia came on line. I have a lesser monitor running the single card while the new card drives larger monitors.

I am sorry to say I can't answer it because he cable in question did not work. There seems to be issues on forums with this being a common problem between Mac / VGA. I only had luck with a direct hdmi to hdmi connection.

The monitor uses DVI input, so you need a DVI cable that can connect to your Mac. I'm not familiar with connecting DVI to Mac, but see cables for that purpose on the web. My Crossover is attached to a Windows computer.

My impression is that it works with PC mainboards with PCI slots. Don't know if Power Mac G4 has same board architecture.

I don't know if there's a limitation for 10.5.8. If you have a much older Mac, you might want to check to be sure the graphics card supports this monitor.

That's a question you should put directly to EVGA. If your Mac uses 8800GTX's, I'd say yes. But, why take a chance.

I think so. The device is looking for VGA/resolution signals only, nothing about OS as long as you can convert Mac's signal to VGA output.

To answer this question to my ability I'll say that you can hook this card up to anything that has a PCI card (Not a PCI-e which is a PCI express card) I don't own a Mac and never have, but If you had a method to do this then yes you could. Then you would of course have to meet the Specs 400watt min power supply, and 500w recommended for duel monitor, and updated drivers supplied by the AMD. In theory that is all you'd need to make this work. There are some that use "Hackintosh" computers that seem to be Apple OS on regular non apple PCs that seem to overcome this, but I'm not a professional on any of this, I'm just a regular consumer as are most here. Hope that helps. ***Edit**** Could you give me your specs(PCI 2.0?)/model/Mac OS version? I might be able to find a model that is made for your mac-book that is close enough to the specs of this one.

If your Mac accepts dual monitor output, which I'm not sure of, then it should be able to. Are you planning to connect a notebook or desktop?

I have one here for that purpose but have not had time to connect them. I have run a Mac Mini into the Dell and it looks fine except for some issues in the top menu bar. Take a look at the article on the diglloyd blog (Lloyd Chambers is a noted photo reviewer and mac guy) where he tests this exact set up and gives it two big thumbs up as well as set up instructions which are pretty much plug and play.I assume from this that the MacBook has a better graphics card then the Mini.Anyway I just did a 2 second fire it up test to see and yes the image came right up and the menu bar was perfect.

I think it may be model dependent - Most Mac products that I am aware of have switched to "micro-dvi". So Yes this cable will work for you - but you will also need to buy an adapter "mini dvi - hdmi". This one is only a few bucks : http://www.amazon.ca/Mini-DVI-female-Adapter-Cable-Apple/dp/B001T4EDZO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1403045263&sr;=8-1&keywords;=mini+dvi+to+hdmi

When models indicate PC input, what they are general talking about is VGA input (RGB). I don't work too much with macs either, but if your mac is able to have a VGA output (or similar video output where you can use a cable that will do X to VGA) then it should work fine. The OS shouldn't matter, it just needs to output a video signal.My personal thoughts on this is I would mainly use a PC input to watch download videos and such. Well if you have a PS3, Xbox 360, or dvd player with a USB connector you can just put the video on a USB drive from your computer and throw it on one of these systems and watch it on your TV. Plus there is always HDMI to DVI cables. When models indicate PC input, what they are general talking about is VGA input (RGB).

&lt;http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20043524-263.html&gt; Go read this good article. Turns out Apple caused some confusion (but in a good way as far as functionality) by making the newer Thunderbolt port the exact same physical connection type as the older Mini Display port. But here is the good news, for newer Macs for which this port is advertised as Thunderbolt, the port is "backwards compatible" as a Mini Display port. It is also useable as strictly a Thunderbolt port. So yes, this cable will work for hooking up your Mac Mini 2012 to a HDMI TV via the Thunderbolt port. Thank God Apple did this. Especially since the 2012 Mac Mini uses the Intel 4000 GPU which has a flaw that manifests itself in the Mini's HDMI output. This cable provides a nice workaround until Intel/Apple issue new drivers to fix this problem (which has been publicly acknowledged by Intel/Apple). Enjoy!!!

Yes, I am using one at work that is connected to 2 of 24" monitors at 1920 x 1200. I think I have one connected via DisplayPort and the other via HDMI. At work I am using a Dell PC M4700. I had some trouble with compatibility between Nvidia and DisplayLink driver (in addition to the 24" monitors I have a 30" connected to the laptop's DisplayPort output). I ended up going back a few revisions of the Nvidia driver to get things to work reliably. At home I have a Mac with also with 3 external monitors, except with the Mac I am driving them all with USB connections. I have a 30-inch connected to the HP 3005pr and two 1280 x 1024 smaller displays each connected via its own older USB to video Displaylink box.

I'm afraid I can't answer your question, but it sounds like you might be able to answer mine. I connected the monitor to a DVI to DVI cable, and connected that to a DVI-Mini-display adapter to my 2011 MacBook Pro. But the monitor isn't recognizing that there's a digital connection and the computer isn't recognizing any external display (and I rebooted both and disconnected and reconnected all cables). Samsung tech support told me that if I wasn't having any luck, then it meant the machines weren't compatible but they couldn't confirm that for sure -- they essentially shrugged. It sounds like you had success with the connection (even if not calibration). Can you confirm and describe your set up? Thanks in advance.
