How to connect MBP to MacAir in target

My cursed 15" 2011 MBP has had a disk fail and won't boot. I tried repairing from a disk but it said to back up my files and reinstall. I have a MacAir but is there a way to connect the MBP to the MacAir in target mode so I can run a back up? I know the MacAir doesn't have a ethernet connection which is how I used to do this.

You will need an adapter such as this to utilize Firewire 800:

How to connect MBP to Philips HD ready TV with DVI-I

I've managed to connect my Macbook Pro (bought Jan 2013) to my Philips HD ready TV (model number 37PF5520D/10) with the following cables:-
1) Cables 4 ALL Supreme 2M DVI-I Cable / Dual Link 24+5 Pins / Gold Plated / HDTV
2) Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter cable by Neet® - ( for Unibody MacBook - Pro - Air etc. )
Getting picture no problem - but no sound.
I understand that I need a separate audio cable. I tried a 3.5mm cable from MBP into DVI audio socket on TV - but NO sound.
What cable to I need to be able to get sound along with vision?
Thanks if you can help,
Knightonday

You need to set the Audio in on the TV. This is from page 16 of your TV's manual:
Audio Selection: to choose the sound

HT4124 How to connect MBP to projectors?

How do I connect a 15" MacBook Pro (mid-2012) to a projector?

Ok, this is the way that it has worked with Mac Book Pro's for the past 3 years, except ( and I still don't know why) with some 13" Macbook Pro models. All mac book pro's, output a digital signal that is HDCP compliant, this means that they only native support digital signals - - - VGA, S-VIDEO, RCA, Component (RGB), DVI-i are all Analog signals. A straight adapter will not work, period... What you need is a converter -- a digital to analog converter, or a HDMI to VGA converter (search for ones that are HDCP compliant up to 1.3) some may work that are not HDCP, but there is also a chance that they may not. www.HDFury.com makes higher end professional converters, from th $100 to $500 range. Or you can look at Amazon and find a multitude of converters from $25 - $70 and up.
So you need a mini-display port to HDMI adapter (or DVI adapter that comes with some mac's if so find DVI-D to HDMI converter). $15 - I wouldn't pay $49 from apple. Rockfish has a solid one.
and you will need a digital to analoge converter box ($50) or so.
It is not just apple, people who have PS3, Xbox, and pretty much any newer apple TV or Microsoft equivalent will have the same problem.
How do I know this? I have the same problem and have been doing my research for the past hour.

How to connect U3014 to MBP Retina?

I have MBP with Retina 13" and I just bought Dell U3014 from amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-30-Inch-PremierColor-Monitor/dp/B00C2RPW8O). This monitor comes with 3 different cables:
* One of them seems to fit DP in/out ports in the monitor and the other end to the thunderbolt port on mac;
* Dual Link DVI Cable. It is not use, because I don't have compatible port/adaptor on mac;
* The 3rd one seems to fit to SS port in the montor and the other end is just a USB which, of course, fits on mac;
I tried many combinations to connect them, but no success so far. Mac does not recognize the monitor, and the monitor keeps showing "No DVI-D Cable. The display will go into Power Save Mode in 5 minutes." I run OS X 10.9.2 (13C64).
1. How to I connect them?
2. I also have Windows 7 x64 installed as a Boot Camp. Same issues there, and I would like to know how to connect them in that case too.

How to connect my macbook pro to apple TV ?

I bought an apple TV and its work perfectly with my iPhone and iPad, I would like to know how to connect it to my macbook pro as i tried but i couldn't ?

Have you enabled Home Sharing in iTunes?
Clearly the MBP and AppleTV need to see each other on the Local Network.
Presumably they are all connecting via the same router.
Check if you have any security software running that might be blocking communication if you have already enabled Home Sharing on the MBP.

If the CD player has audio line outputs, you could tap the audio input port of your MBP. I do question the practicality of doing so.

How to connect macbook pro to panasonic tv with hdmi cable

How to connect macbook pro to panasonic hd tv with hdmi cable

Hi m,
It depends which MPB you have and the inputs on the TV. The following assumes your TV has an HDMI input which will work with a computer.
This is if your MBP is from April 2010 or newer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241
First connect the adapter to the MBP and the HDMI cable from the adapter to the TV, then go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > select HDMI.
Or if your MBP is older than that and you have a Mini DisplayPort, you can use something like this: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CBLMDPHDMID/
If it's older than that, for video you need a DVI or mini DVI to HDMI or whatever input your TV has. For audio, you need a 3.5mm stereo mini plug to RCA or optical (Toslink), depending on what audio input your TV has.

When you have connected the monitor or the TV to the MBP, open System Preferences>Displays and it should show a category called Arrangement. These links should give some of the details:

How to connect with a cable box

I cannot seem to find any information on how to connect up an Apple TV in a system that has an external cable box. I live in NY City where you cannot get cable TV without the external cable box. Where in the set up (along with my DVD player and component audio) do I fit the AppleTV?
PowerBook G4 15FW800 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1GB RAM

I've used a 5 X 1 HDMI switch from Monoprice.com and it works just fine. I only have two HDMI inputs on my TV and use one just for the cable box and the other has the 5X1 switch hooked to it. The five ports are: a Toshiba DVR, a Mac Mini, an Apple TV, a DVI to HDMI cable for my MacBook and a spare port hopefully a HD-DVD some day.
One problem is if you calibrate the HDMI port on the TV to a device on the switch, when you switch to a different device the picture may not be optimal for that second (third, fourth or fifth) device. This is not the fault of the switch, rather a function having different devices on one HDMI port.
Rarely, very rarely, when switching to the Apple TV you need to tell it the resolutions for the TV.
Finally, if you are impatient, it takes three seconds or so when switching between devices. Otherwise a switch works great for me.

Display problems when connecting MBP to LG 30FS4D HDTV

Apologies if a similar post has been asked before. Most questions related to this are with LCD TVs.
Problem description :
1. I connected my MBP to my LG 30FS4D HDTV ( this is not an LCD ). Both handshake and I can see the output on my TV. MBP display the tv control panel. But the output is just like s-video...probably not as good as that either !
How I connected it to the TV :
2. miniDVI to DVI adapter ( $19 )
3. HDMI ( $10 )
What I have tried so far :
4. I changed the resolutions on the MBP tv display from 720p to 1080i, also other resolutions....but none of them is good quality !
Questions :
5. What kind of output should I expect on my tv - I was expecting at least a DVD quality output...but it's no where close to that ?
6. Do I need to get expensive HDMI cable for this ?
7. Is my TV the culprit ?
8. Should I try this on someone's LCD TV ?

For anyone who's facing a similar issue :
Some of these slim TVs switch off other audio input when you connect the HDMI cable ( HDMI is after all, audio and video ). But there is another audio input - the digital optical audio input. In order to get the sound, get a toslink cable ( with optical audio male at one end and a simple headphone male at the other end ) and connect it from your MBP to the TV optical audio input.

How to get RMAN catalog information from Target database?

Hi,
How to get RMAN catalog information from Target database because i don't know about catalog database? is it possible?
Thanks

If you run RMAN backups of a target database using a Catalog schema in another database, the target is not aware of the catalog.
The RMAN backup script would have the connection identifier for the Catalog.

OSB how to connect to SAP?

Dear experts,
Could you give some hints about how to connect to SAP using OSB(ALSB)? Using oracle's adapters?
Further, pls. give some docs(gudies) about how to config it.
One of our customers is hurrying to do a POC to verify OSB is suitable for integration with SAP.
Thanking you!
michael

Michael,
You can talk to your sales or mail to PM ([email protected]) to get a early access bits if urgently required.
ERP adapters that can work with OSB/weblogic will be shortly released and so will be the documentation.
Install ERP adapter (separate installer)
Deploy adapter to weblogic JCA container (after configuring ra.xml)
Use iwae to create target/channels and generate WSDL.
Publish wsdl to OSB project.
Create BS/PS as required using JCA transport.
Cheers

How do you log values from RT target to the computer?

Hi,
I am using sbRIO 9633. How do you log values from RT target to the computer?
I created a shared variable on the RT target and used them on the log VI created under "My Computer", but I get error.
I get this error..
\\192.168.1.140\temp deployment failed (error: -1967357949, IAK_SHARED: (Hex 0x8ABC8003) Unable to query Measurement & Automation Explorer for the Shared Variable Engine. Make sure the Shared Variable Engine exists on the RT target and check that the network connection is valid.).
kdm

What are your data rates? If you are producing data "continuously", you might find that Network Streams are easier and more reliable than Network Shared Variables. In any case, you need an "engine" on one side (Host or Target) or the other. I'm streaming 24 channels of 16-bit data from a PXI controller to a PC this way, with three other streams handling two-way messaging and transmission of "occasional" time-stamped data to the PC.
