how to get screen content onto external VGA screen? Do have thunderbolt-VGA adapter but only get screensaver across

VGA and DVI do not carry sound. Only HDMI.
Use a minidisplay-to-HDMI adapter. Then when the TV is connected to the system use "System Prefences > Sound > Output" to select the TV for sound.
Or connect speakers to the output port of the MBP.

Having trouble using my new touch with my tv. Have the lightening adapter, but only get sound, no video via the cable I used with my touch (4)

How do I use my new touch (5) on my tv. My touch (4) used a cable attached to my tv, so I got a lightening adapter, added to end of cable, and plugged in new touch. Sound came through on tv, but no video. Do I need a new cable that supports this video content??

Hello krnsrts2013,
For more information on which Digital AV adapters are compatible with which iOS devices, you may find the information outlined in the following article helpful, in particular this portion:
Apple AV adapters cannot provide video output when used with Lightning to 30-pin Adapter or Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m) adapter.
About Apple Digital AV Adapters for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Per the article, for an iPod Touch 5th Gen, you would need either a Lightning Digital AV Adapter or a Lightning to VGA Adapter, depending on your connection type.
Sincerely,
- Brenden

External video projector - How can I hook up my Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter onto my new MacBookAir if the machine does not have a mini port (but only 2 USBs and 1 Thunderbolt)?

Hi
How can I hook up my DVI Adapter onto my new MacBookAir if the machine does not have a mini port (but only 2 USBs and 1 Thunderbolt)?
Is there a DVI adaptor already for Thunderbolt?
Thanks,
JFR

The Mini Display port and Thunderbolt port use compatible connector bodies. Your current Mini Display to DVI or VGA adapter will still work as before on the newer Thunderbolt capable machines.

How do I get my old contacts onto my iPhone 5? Have tried with iCloud, but no luck.

How do I get my old contacts onto my iPhone 5? Have tried with iCloud, but no luck.
I backed up my old iPhone on iCloud, ensuring that contacts was 'on' and then backed up my new iPhone 5. I have surely missed a vital step, but I can't figure it out.
I'd really appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Laura

I have also realised that my contacts are not in iCloud. I have backed up my old iPhone several times (today!) and they are simly not getting there. Any ideas?

If this is on your computer's iTunes then does the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option find and download the other two films, or do they show via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for downloading ?

You can recover purchases by installing the latest version of iTunes to your laptop, then select the 'purchases' tab under Store in the sidebar and look at the lower left of the iTunes window for a link to: 'Download Previous Purchases'

I want to install a mac monitor to a Dell Latitude PC. I bought a VGA adapter but it still won't activate.

I want to install a mac monitor to a Dell Latitude PC. I bought a VDI to VGA adapter but it still won't activate.

Easiest thing I found was to manually expand any open window you're dealing with; including a webpage. To do this look at the bottom right hand corner of the window pane itself. Just below the Up and Down scrolling arrows is a corner with 3 diagonal lines. Grab that and drag in the direction (up, down, right, left, diagonal) that resizes the window to meet your needs. Once you've done this the size will be remembered when you open the window in the future. I've learned Apple doesn't like "full screen" mode. Just as well since filling the screen with an open application hides anything else you have open. And the Dock doesn't highlight or display the open Apps. Hint: I've learned to use the F3 key a lot. That way I can see everything that I've opened and change applications.

I believe you will need to uninstall and re-install the correct version. See this link: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/change-installed-language.html

How can I remove viruses off my computer? I have mac OS X, but I clicked on a website on google and it didn't open. Instead the security program popped up and said that my computer is at risk of a crash and has detected several viruses!?!?! AAAAHHH!?!?!

It's probably the MacDefender scareware trojan horse. If you have this here is how to remove it.
1. Open Activity Monitor look for MacDefender process double click on it and hit quit or force quit.
2. Go to System Preferences, Go to accounts, Go to login items look for anything related to MacDefender hightlight it by clcking on it once. Then hit the minus sign to remove it.
3. Go to applications folder and drag MacDefender to the trash.
4. Open finder and do a search for Macdefender and remove anything you see related to MacDefender.
5. Open Spotlight (the little magnyfing glass in the menubar far right corner) and do a search for MacDefender.
6. Restart your computer and empty trash.
7. If you feel you need to have virus protection for your Mac use ClamXav. It's the recommended AV program for MacOSX. Hope this helps.

How to display smartboard content onto a ipad?

Hi,
I want to display content on the smartboard onto an ipad, so that a student can view the smartboard content in front of them.
I know that you can use air play to display ipad content onto a smartboard, but how do we show smartboard content on to ipad?
Any help would be much appreciated.

How long can the Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter last?

Hi,
I've been using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (genuine) for a year now but not everyday. Yesterday I bought a new display that needs this adapter, so now is the time that it will be used everyday. I was wondering how long can it last (or operational hours) if it were to sit in the same place, not unplugged, with an average use of 4 hours a day?
Thanks
PS. This one: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/B/mini-displayport-to-vga-adapter.

This is impossible to predict.
Sometime cables last a lifetime, sometimes they fail in short order.

The Firefox screen lies slightly to the right od the desktop since installing v5, how can I centre it so as not to lose the right hand part of the screen, I have tried dragging it but it wont move

The FF screen is about 20mm from the left hand edge of the desktop and I can not move it so that I can read the right part of the FF screen

I tried the zoom thing but it still didnt resolve my issue Im gonna try to clarify my issue a little bit more, before the change, my screen when I would surf the web would have the apple logo and safari and file and edit and view buttons at the top left hand of the screen and the upper right hand screen would have the time and the wifi strength and my name and the spotlight box and a volume control but now they dont show while Im browsing the web unless I take my arrow and move it to the very top of the screen then those boxes will drop down like it used to be but when I take my arrow and move it from the top of the screen it disappears again and ll I get is a back and forward arrow and the url input bar. Anyone else have any ideas of what I did to mess this up?

I had my laptop that my iphone was backed up onto repossesed so now i have a new computer but i dont know how to put my music photos and video and apps on my new computer can somebody help??

I had my laptop repossesed and it had all my bak up from my iphone 4 on it i have a new computer but i cant put all my pics vids apps and songs on my itunes i really need help with this because alot of the photos and stuff i have on my iphone are sentimental as are the songs which all havnt been purchased through itunes please tell me there is a way to do this??//

Set the iTunes to prevent automatic syncing before you plug it in the first time. You should be able to extract any photos in the camera roll as you would from any other camera. You can transfer purchases to get anything you actually purchased from the iTunes store off the phone and into iTunes. Made sure you have at least 1 contact in whatever application you intend to sync contacts to. This will give you the option to merge them. If you don't, the phone will be overwritten with the blank address book from the computer.
As for extracting anything else, media sync is meant to be 1 way only. Computer>iPhone.
As for media that wasn't purchased on the phone, you can try a 3rd party program that 'may' be able to extract it, but this isn't sanctioned or supported by Apple in any way. Technically, you're out of luck if you don't have a backup from the computer that was repossesed.
