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.

Yes it will work but you will sacrifice quality. VGA is the old video standard. If you are using an HD Mac and want the picture to show up HD then you need to use the other port on the monitor which is a DVI port. So if you want HD then you must get a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adaptor. Hope this helps!

This monitor has BOTH VGA and DVI, and I am currently running it on a Mac Mini via DVI. If your iMac supports an additional DVI out I can't see why it wouldn't work.

Could depend on the age of the Mac. But I would assume that if you can use a DVI connector with your Mac then you can use this display with your Mac.

it uses a dvi and vga cables, so as long as your macbook/desktop have the proper jacks, I don't see any reason as to why you couldn't.

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.

Mine has been used connected to a couple of different Macs, a Windows laptop and a couple of Linux boxes. It "just worked"... But it doesn't do VGA, so beware. You need HDMI or DVI.

First off - I would recommend getting a better Asus monitor like the 246 or 248 - the one with LED. I sold this one already. Answer to your question is yes. You can connect macbooks to any monitory but you need the display port converter (for hdmi/dvi). As for mac tower, if they take display port, it should not be a problem. Check at the apple store.

&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!!!

As with any periprial, this will use a VGA cable. It is compatible to the MAC, should be visible upon connection and power up. YOu can change the resolution to 1024 x 768, as this is the native resolution on this device.

Yes, this worked for me. It was an expensive fix but it worked. I had an old 2004 G5 and a 23" ADC cinema display. The G5 went out on and got a great deal on a used Mac Pro. The ADC screen and Mac Pro plugs are not compatible, found out the hard way. This unit made them compatible and allowed my to be able to use my old cinema display.

I am not sure how your MacBook conects to external monitors but a standard VGA cable works just fine when conecting to a PC. I hope this helps

You will need a converter! It might be an Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, but I apologize that I cannot remember exactly - I bought one, and it looked very much like this: http://www.showmecables.com/product/Mini-DisplayPort-to-DVI-Adapter.aspx?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=2914&zmam=49733141&zmac=5&zmas=1&zmap=2914&gclid=CMWt0KeH_L4CFbRj7AodaB8AEg. Check to make sure I'm not telling you the wrong thing! I also looked into HDMI converters, but I don't think so fit. I was able to check one out from my local library, because they keep HDMI converters to connect Macs to overhead projectors, and that allowed me to try and find out that it didn't work.

It should be. You can hook them through either dvi ports on the card, use a mini display port -> dvi adapter to hook your dual link cable to. I currently have it hooked up with a mini to full display port running a 1920x1200 monitor. But i had it hooked up with a DVI I cable using a mini DP to DVI I dual link adapter ( the macbook ones) before I got the cable. any more questions , feel free to ask

This worked for me. My monitor has a DVI out on the back and my Macbook has a thunderbolt slot. It is exactly what I got it for.

Here is the adapter to make it work with the Mac Mini, via USB (DisplayLink DL-165 Chip) or you can do a VGA to DVI or VGA to HDMI, there is so many adapters to make this monitor work with anything and everything.

Mine came with a VGA cable. If your MAC has VGA connector, it will hook up to it directly.
