How to hook up a Sharp Notevision PG-M20X projector to a Mini DVI output.

After this has been discussed on a few forum discussions before, but without a solution being provided, I have found myself in the same situation. I tried connecting the above mentioned projector on my Macbook and only got a black screen, even though the Display settings could find the projector with the correct product name and resolution settings. I tried all the various adapters (Mini DVI to DVI, both with DVI-D and DVI-A cables and the Mini DVI to VGA adapter.
In the end I got it to work with Apple's Mini DVI to Video adapter, using an S-Video cable to connect the adapter to the projector. The resolution is not quite as good as it was when I used my trashy, ten year-old PC on the projector, but I guess that's the price you have to pay when you are buying a fancy hi-tech laptop like Apple's Macbook for over £ 1000.
The staff at the Apple helpline as well as the Apple store were as clueless and unhelpful as usual when it comes to anything outside of the ten most FAQ's.
Hope this helps a few of you out there and saves you from going berserk in the Apple store.

Hi There,
Whenever I hook up a projector that doesn't work with my MacBook (when it shows just a blank, black screen), the first thing I try is going to System Preferences > Displays and setting the resolution of my desktop to 800x600.
Nine times out of ten, the projector starts right up and works perfectly.

First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.

How to hook up the Qosmio G20 to a TV?

Hi, I posted here a long time ago and I still haven't found a solution to this problem.
I want to hook my laptop up to my TV. I'm always in a different room so I'll be either hooking it up to a 21" Toshiba, or a 32"Sony or a 51"Toshiba - I don't know if hooking up to different makes of TV's will create a problem. I've tried hooking the laptop up with an S-video cable and a DVI cable (both of which have a scart connection at one end).
I just can't get the thing to work with a TV!! Here's exactly what I'm doing when I try:
* I click start then I click on Control Panel
* I click on "Appearance and Themes"
* I click on "Display"
* I click the "Settings" tab
* I click on "Advanced"
* I click on the "GeForce Go 6600" tab
* I select the settings so that I get a clone view on the digital flat panel and a TV.
* I click on "Device Settings" to make sure that all the settings for the TV are correct.
* I press "Apply" and NOTHING happens!!
Can anyone help me out?! I got this laptop ages ago and I still haven;t got this feature to work! Any help will be really appreciated! I am eagerly waiting for ANY replies.
Many thanks!

Thanks for the reply Markus77.
Since both the S-video and D-video cables have a scart connection at one end I always check through the scart channels on the TV when I hook up the laptop. However, nothing is ever displayed - I've even tried to scan for new channels, but nothing seems to work.
Also, I know about the Fn hotkeys, but it doesn't allow you to go through the different display settings (such as Ntsc or Pal settings and screen resolutions - all of which I've tried changing to get this thing to work).
Have you (or anyone else) got any other suggestions? Before I posted on the forum I checked through all the posts to see if anyone had any similar problems. Someone had the same problem and said that his BIOS setup had only HD working and so this disabled his S-video and D-video connection from working? How do I check the BIOS setup - maybe this is what's causing the problem?
Please help me out - all suggestions are welcome here!!
Many thanks.

How to hook up Power Mac G4 to my i.Mac

Been browsing through discussions and Apple stuff, talked to support techs at Apple Care (with less than desired results), but still need help on how to do this.
Here's what I want to do: Get step-by-step instructions on how to hook up an "old" (think it was made in 1999) Power Mac G4 to my i.Mac computer.
a) primarily to serve as back-up for my documents, pictures, music, etc., even programs if that can be done, and;
b) actually use some of the old programs that are on that old G4 (i.e. Adobe Pagemaker)
Here's what I have:
1) a flat-panel i.Mac, 1 GHz PowerPC G4, 256 MB DDR SDRAM, using Panther;
2) an old Power Mac G4 (the rather large, vertical hard drive) of which I know nothing about the specs....like memory, storage, or system it has, etc......at least until I can get into it. It's been sitting idle for about four years;
3) a three-foot, 6-pin to 6-pin cable (Belkin) which I am told is what I need to connect the two computers via FireWire jacks.
So, presuming I have all that is needed to hook these two machines up, how do I proceed. A "1, 2, 3 instruction would be very much appreciated.
For example, should both computers be turned on "before" inserting the FireWire cable, or......should just the i.Mac be turned on, then insert the cable, then turn on the old Mac?
Once hooked up, and powered up, it's my understanding I'll see on icon for the old Mac on my i.Mac desktop. To copy files, I'm supposed to just drag and drop to the old Mac icon. Is that right?
Then to actually use the old Mac, I'm supposed to reboot my i.Mac, then hold down the "t" key just after the reboot "sound," or little circling icon, and I'll be in the old Mac? The screen will show everything on the "old" Mac? Is this right? Sounds simple enough, but.
If this is right and I'm actually in the old Mac, can I then sort and arrange documents I've dragged and dropped, and can I use programs that are already on that old Mac......like Pagemaker?
And, how do I get "out" of the old Mac and back into my i.Mac?
I see through discussions that I can apparently backup my entire i.Mac hard drive by going to the HD finder window and dragging and dropping my user folder icon (the little one that appears at the top and in the center of the Finder window, to the old Mac icon. Does that sound right?
I surely would appreciate some help on this. What I've got so far is piecemeal tidbits, nonsequential, and often, unclear.
Thanking anybody and everybody who might be inclined to help me out.

Thank you A Brody,
This is all very helpful to a guy like me.
I guess the first thing I'll have to do is get an ethernet cable. Presumably, the FireWire cable will not be needed now. Correct?
The same questions still seem to apply. I did print out the "Connecting two computers using Ethernet" that you forwarded to me.
1) But, do I power up both computers before installing Ethernet cable?
2) After following instructions on the"Connecting two computers....." will an icon appear for the old Power Mac?
3) After hooking up the Ethernet cable, do I have to re-boot, use the "T" key, to get into the old Power Mac?
4) After fiddling around on the old Power Mac, how do I get out of there and back onto my i.Mac?
5) Or, because it would be hooked up via Ethernet, could I simply go back and forth between the two computers?
By the way, after checking out your info on how to identify my old Power Mac, this is the info I've been able to glean, I think:
The old Power Mac is:
• A Power Mac G4 (PCI Graphics)........and therefore, it says, not able to serve as a target computer backup with my i.Mac
• Apparently made in 1999
• System, apparently, is OS 8.6 (my i.Mac is OS X 10.3.9...Panther)
• Model number either M7631 or M7826 (can't find it on the computer)
• Memory: PC 100 SDRAM, up to 1 GB (don't know how much it has now)
• I have no idea how much storage is available (i.e. my i.Mac is 74.5 GB (I think)
Thanking you again

Am considering buying a Time Capsule. But all specs I read about it (re: printing) is how to hook up a printer via USB connection. Need to confirm...that a wireless printer will work with the router feature of the Time Capsule. I assume yes...?

A wireless printer connects to the network just like your computer, or iPhone/iPad, etc. connects using wireless.
The printer must be set up intially to scan to "find" available wireless networks, then your specific wireless network needs to be selected. Then the password for the network needs to be entered.
Once the printer is configured to join the network, it is always connected to the network. No further configuration is required.

How do I add a sharp to chords in Notation

How can I add a sharp to the chords for example C7(sharp9)in the notation. I do not have a sharp sign on my Mac keyboard. Somehow the notation program in Logic is not as user friendly as Cubase. Can one change the amount of bars per leger line and is one able to adjust individual bar lengths. Also, how does one increase the size of the accidentals on the stave.
thanks
Carlo

Hi Carlo
You can drag a sharp or flat sign from the Inspector on the right of the Score. Make sure you open the Part Box and experiment with the different categories
You can change the amount of bars per line with the Layout Tool, depending also on the Setting for maximum number of bars per line in the Project Settings ( see snapshot below lower left hand box)
You cannot adjust individual bar lengths in Logic - ( this is a severe limitation of the Score Editor)
You can adjust the size of accidentals in Chords but not in normal use of - however this is something I have never needed to do. It is one aspect of Logic Score Editor that is pretty acceptable.
You can change the distant of Accidentals in relation to each other ( very useful when you have a complex chord with many accidentals) and also the distance from the note. This shrinks or expands the bar slightly ( which therefore gives you some opportunity to adjust bar size).
You can change the distance from the beginning of the bar to where the first note is set.
Look closely at the options in Project Settings
Hope this helps

How to hook video cameras to macbook air 11"

Are you referring to mirroring or you just unable to set up homesharing.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.
