How to hook up Wii, DVD player, using a Sony Bravia TV and Time Warner Cable Box
Does anyone have any insight? Do I need to buy a component cord to hook up the Wii? Should I run it through the cable box or dvd? The TV doesn't have enough hookup spots for everything so I have to reroute things and just trying to figure out the most efficient way to do it. I am clueless and the Time warner person that hooked up my TV was no help (as usual).
Thanks!

You don't HAVE TO run a component cable from the Wii to the TV, but it will look better if you do. You don't run game system "through" your cable box or DVD. Each source should have its own input.
If your TV is a modern HD set, you should have more than enough inputs to accommodate a Wii, HD cable, and DVD player.

How do I connect a DVD Player or game console to the X-Fi Platin
Perhaps the answer is simpler than I think, that's why I didn't find the answer anywhere. Sorry if it's a stupid question. So, how do I connect my DVD Player, PlayStation 2 and Gamecube to the X-Fi Platinum. I use optical cables for the first two and analog stereo cables (Red and White) for the Gamecube. I plug them in, but I can't get any sound out. What do I do? Thanks in advance.
months later and I still can not get the sound from the tv to sync with the sound from the pc over the digital link.
edit to say I just saw this post
"The Audigy features BUILT IN decoding, you are almost talking like it is being done through software, this is a built in hardware function of the audigy"
It is being done in software on the host CPU. No Creative soundcard has hardware based decoding. If you don't believe me try it yourself. Check the CPU utilisation in SPDIF mode and DVD playback software decoding mode. There won't be any difference in CPU utilisation between the two modes. In fact on my machine with the X-Fi doing the decoding the CPU utilisation is higher than the nVidia audio decoder.
no there's something else I didn't check before buying. there goes blind faith in a company you have used for over 8 years.
The way that the x-fi is being marketed is very aggresi've. I will know not to trust anything this company say on their box, especially until I have read second and third opinions online. Vreati've, you have just lost this customer. Next year I will buy a card that just does what I need and not one that looks like something I should have and at a ridiculous price for a sound card that doesn't actually do hardware decoing that a ?50 piece of plastic can do.

My DVD Player in my MabBook Pro, System 10.8.2, has stopped accepting discs and is no longer recognized by the DVD driver. I purchased an external Blue-ray Disc player/writer. It is a Samsung. I downloaded their driver so the drive shows up on my desktop. But how do I switch the DVD player over from my internal to my external drive?
In addition to RRFS's advice, please post in the correct forum. This forum is for iMac's, you mentioned you have a MacBook Pro. They're similar but still pretty different hardware.

HT4072 Can I play audio from movies in the DVD player using iTunes or Airplay?
I would like to play audio from movies in the MacBook DVD player using iTunes or Airplay? Is this possible?
Is it important that the music come from a video, or are you just looking to listen to music in the background, while doing something else. If the later, you can certainly play music from the Music App, Pandora, or iHeart Radio, etc., and with the music playing, tap your home button to go to your home page and open anything else you want and the music will continue.
I don't have any videos to try out right now, but you try the same thing out and if the music continues, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. -
How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?
How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?
We are two people using three difrent Macs, 1 Iphone and 1 Ipad with separate USERS on each Mac but sharing the same Apple ID: xxxxxx
I set up the first user to iCloud and it was OK but when I set up the second user to use iCoud the first users's info gets mixed with the second user's info?
Do we have to set up a diffrent Apple ID for each other?
Sometime ago I added my friends E mail (yyyyy) to the main Apple ID (xxxx) as for using his E mail account (to separate our e mail accounts, and it's working ok) but now when I try to create a new apple ID whith the same friend's e mail (yyyyyy) it says that his mail (yyyyy) is already an apple ID when the Apple ID is really my E mail (xxxxx)... any clue?
ThanksI believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps -
I deleted all my photos and videos and then delete the deleted files but the photo app is still taking up 12 GB of space and I have no room for new stuff. How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos? I don't know why the photos are still taking up space and if I will have to reset my phone to get rid of the problem.

My HD TV has two HDMI inputs which are being used by a home theater system and my RCN cable box. i want to be able to use my appleTV as well as those but do not have another HDMI input. How can i connect it so that i can use any 1 of the 3 at any time?
Get an HDMI switcher. Plug in the ATV directly to the TV and then use the switcher on the other input.

Connect HDTV to VCR DVD combo device and Motorola 7101 Cable Box
Hi all, first post. Am not too saavy re: new technology. Iam trying to connect my Panasonic VCR DVD combo to my TV: Sony HDTV and Verizon 7101 Cable box. Should be fairly straightforward but being technologically illiterate it is very challenging. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jergen
There are usually several choices. If your DVD/VCR has S- inputs and outputs, the preference is to run S-Video cables from the cable box to the DVD/VCR, and from the DVD/VCR to the TV set (that will be another input on the TV). The S-VHS connections will provide the best standard definition video quality.
The audio is more complicated. I ended up using Y cables so that I could split L and R audio outputs into two L and two R audio outputs. , one set runs to the TV, the other set to the VCR/DVD audio inputs.. You will need to run Audio cables from the DVD/VCR from the audio outputs on the VCR/DVD to the audio inputs that correspond to the S-video input you are using for video from the VCR/DVD to the TV.
Generally you have to enable the S-vide input on the DVD/VCR if it has one, and it usually an option with an Aux input.
If you DVD/VCR unit doesn't support S-Video input, then you run a cable from the composite video output on the Cable box to the composite input on the DVD/VCR. You still have to split the audio. If it doesn't have S-VHS input, it may not have S-VHS output, in which case you run composite video to the TV in addition to the audio cables.
IF neither of those are appealing to you, the cable box also output SD TV on either Channel 3 or 4 (your choice), and you can just run a coaxial cable connection from the cable box to the DVD/VCR instead of the Audio and Video cabling, you can also run a coaxial cable from the DVD/VCR to the TV's antenna input and tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (your choice, determined by whatever channel the DVD/VCR is set to output on). If you use Coaxial cable, whatever links you use it with do not need the AV cables, however the picture quality will be substantially lower than S-Video, and somewhat lower than the composite video. -

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

Using airport express to extend Time Warner cable modem wifi signal
I just today got a Time Warner Cable Arris modem with built-in wifi. I'd like to use my 802.11n Airport Express base station to extend the TWC network wifi signal to other parts of my house, but I can't get the Airport Express to shake hands with the TWC modem.
In Airport Utility, under the "Wireless" tab, I've selected "Extend a wireless network". I am able to select my TWC network under "Wireless Network Name." Wireless Security is set to "WPA2 Personal." But when I click "update" the airport express fails to join the TWC network, and my Airport Express signal disappears; I am only able to get the signal back by resetting the Airport Base Station with a paperclip.
Applecare tells me that I might be able to use the Airport Express to extend my TWC network, but they do not support that process. Is there any way to do what I'm trying to do? Are there settings in Airport Utility I need to change? I'd appreciate anyone's help.
Thank you.
ToddYou need TWO Airport units, one to function as the main radio and the other to function as an extender. I used two Express units.
Configuration is simple if you start from a factory default condition. Then connect the main Airport to AC power and finally to the Internet modem (or modem/router). Open Airport Utility on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations. After confirming that it works, insert your desired administrative and WiFi passwords.
Then connect the extender to AC power. As before, open Airport Express on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations. No need to add password info.
Do not expect the Airport to respond instantly to the configuration commands. BE PATIENT!
