[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1290072, member: 56379"] Can't you return the cable if it's the wrong one? Especially since the "Curry's" folks were the one's responsible for recommending the wrong cable? I'm very familiar with that video adapter you linked...and that's why I knew that it wasn't for your computer. In fact...the mini-display port didn't even show up in Macintosh computers until around 2008. Your computer is from 2005 or before...so you can see why it wouldn't work (the cart BEFORE the horse sort of thing)!;) You still didn't verify what video ports you have on your Powermac G5...but my educated guess is that you need a "full-sized" DVI to HDMI cable (you choose the length). The "audio-out" port on your Powermac G5 is just a standard "mini-jack" the same connector you find on any pair of headphones for an mp3 player. You need to check your TV for what sort of "audio-in" connector it has. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
