I want to connect a Mac mini to a Samsung 40" LED tv to use as the monitor, whats the best way of doing this?

Understand that there is one HDMI port on your TV that is specifically designated for PC connectivity. The order that the TV or Mini are powered on may determine your results. For your specific TV model, check buyer reviews on Amazon or elsewhere that can include optimum TV/Computer settings adjustment for improved viewing results.

  • I want to run Quicken through Windows on my macbook pro, whats the best way to do this?

    I want to run Quicken 2012 through Windows on my macbook pro, whats the best way to do this?
    I have been looking at Parallels or VMware in order to use Windows but then I will also need to get a Windows license. Just looking for the most inexpensive way possible as this will probably be the only Windows app I run.
    Also looking at this CrossOver software which says you dont need Windows license. Anyone used this before? had success?

    CrossOver's website has a list of software it has certified as working or working with known issues - Quicken 2012 has a bronze rating meaning it runs but with enough issues that it isn't recommended. In other words, "Run away!"
    Get a copy of Windows 7 OEM from Amazon or New Egg and give it a try with VirtualBox (an open source virtualization program). If VirtualBox doesn't cut it you can always buy VMWare or Parallels.

  • Hello, Help needed! I want to add an extra 4 bars of a new track in the middle of my project but I need all the remaining tracks to move over 4 bars if you know what I mean. Whats the best way to do this?

    Hello, I need to add 4 extra bars in the middle of one of my projects. Therefore all the tracks need to be split at that point and moved 4 bars further along. Is there an easy way to do this? I cant see a way without painstakingly splitting each track at that point, trying to move each of the tracks individually along by 4 bars and trying to line them all up exactly again. Ive tried this a few times but their not in exact sinc. Any help at all greatly appreciated! Thanks Declan

    Use the arrangement track. If you define arrangement regions, you can move sections of your song around, across all tracks.
    See this help text on how to add arrangement markers and to move arrangement regions:

    I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

    Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
    To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?...  or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

  • How do i connect my mac mini to a kvm switch using the hdmi to dvi adapter?

    I want to connect my Mac Mini using the HDMI to DVI adapter to a KVM switch cable. I have an Iogear KVM switch. The cable from the KVM switch has a male VGA end connection. I have been trying to determine the right adapter to connect the female DVI connection to the male VGA connector. I will be using the Mac mini and a PC running through the KVM switch. This is doable as the iogear switch is compatible with both a PC and a Mac. Any ideas out there? Thank you.

    You would need to get  HDMI or DVI to VGA CONVERTER, not a simple adopter. The converter requires USP connection for power. HDMI is only digital while VGA is analogue.

    If your MIni has a mini displayport or Thunderbolt port yu can get a les expensive mini displayport to VGA afopter.

  • Whats the best way to connect mac mini to my DAC

    I want to connect a mac mini to my DAC to then connect to my home stereo. The input options on the DAC are usb (b), coax digital & toslink optical. What is the best way to get the digital audio out of the mac & then into the DAC?

    IAW these specs:
    Features:
    USB: 24/96 up sampling to 192 Hz
    Toslink and coaxial: 24/192Hz
    Galvanic Isolation: ADuM 1250 chips
    Asynchronous Burr Brown Chip AD1896
    DAC Chip: PCM 1798
    R Style Transformer
    State of the Art Components: ESA Clarity capacitor filters, gold plated RCA jacks
    (Although this was copy pasted from your DAC maker's web site, it should be 192 kHz not 192 Hz.)
    The Toslink would be a better choice because the USB would have to use up sampling to reach 192 kHz. The USB would work though. Use a USB cable from the Mac to the DAC. Then use the Mac's Audio Midi Setup to select your DAC.
    The audio output jack on the Mac is a combination Line Level Analog output and a Laser Toslink digital output. You can buy Toslink cables that have a miniature phono laser plug on one end and the more standard Toslink on the other.
    Or, you can buy a miniature phono to Toslink adaptor.
    plus a cable
    Note: If you don't have any digital source material above 96 Hz, then the USB and Toslink connection would be toss up, sic.

  • I want to upgrade my Imac from tiger 10.4.11 to Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. What is the best way to do this.

    I have just purchased an iphone 4 and it needs me to have the latest itunes on my computer.  I have not upgraded by computer for some time and thought this is probably the time to do it. My computer is an imac intel with Tiger 10.4.11. I want to upgrade my Imac from tiger 10.4.11 to Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or higher.  What is the best way to do this?  Appreciate any help as I am out of practice. I used to be an old hand at this, but things have moved on since I didn't upgrade or use my computer as much!

    The best way, really the only way, is to purchase Snow Leopard.
    Online (UK): http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Elsewhere: call the phone number in the Apple Online Store.
    Apple's price is $19.99, £14.00, €18.
    Snow Leopard is not available to download from any legitimate source.
    Once you install Snow Leopard, upgrade iTunes to version 10.7 or the latest, iTunes 11.
    iTunes 10.6.3 is the last version of iTunes to support Mac computers with Mac OS X 10.5.8 with either Intel or PowerPC processors, but since you have an Intel iMac, the best solution is to purchase Snow Leopard. Leopard is no longer available from Apple and prices from aftermarket vendors can be unreasonably high.

  • TS1314 I have lots of organized photos on my PC and I want to keep them organized to sync to ipad.... how is the best way to do this?

    I have spent a lot of time saving, organizing and arranging photos (for the last 7 years) on my PC, and would like to know the best way to transfer these, AND MAINTAIN THE ORGANIZATION OF THE FOLDERS, to my new ipad (and later, my iphone). I have a really good system, and I do not want to have to do it all over again, on the ipad. I DO NOT want to subscribe to another monthly service fee (i.e. the iCloud) but DO have iTunes on my PC.
    What is the simplest method to do this ?  I have tried synching, but, each time have lost photos (on my ipad) OR have had NO ORGANIZATION AT ALL to the photos once synced.  I have all these photos (5.6gb) in the My Pictures folder, then subdivided into years, then subdivided into events and months within the years.  So, my transfer of the My Picures folder, completely transfers all of them, but with NO further organization.  Again, I have spent years doing this, and don't want to have to re-invent the wheel. 
    Can someone advise (or even better, lead me to a youtube video) that accurately shows the best way to do this ?
    Thank you, in advance, for your help.
    p.s.  I particularly enjoy Dan Nations very informative articles on how to get the best from my products.  And, wish Apple would explain "how it works" regarding the syncing methods on the Operating System.  It is the only thing I "don't get" about using my iPad..... meanwhile I LOVE my new mini ! ! ! ! ! ! ! thanks Apple, for keeping things simple.... Please don't change that !

    Correct, it will only be one-level, the Photos app doesn't support sub-albums - the sub-folders photos will be included in the parent's album.
    If you select My Pictures at the top of the Photos tab when syncing, then you should get an album for each folder that is directly under it - so if I understand correctly what you described then that would mean an album for 2013, one for 2012 etc. And each of those should include all the photos in the subfolders under it - so 2013 would include the photos from the events and months subfolders under it.
    You can't sync them separately, only the contents of the last sync remains on the iPad, by not including a folder in the next photo sync you are effectively telling iTunes that you no longer want that folder/album on the iPad so it will be removed and be replaced by the contents of the new sync (you can't delete synced photos directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync).
    The app that I use, Photo Manager Pro, allows you to select and copy a folder (via FTP), but you would need to select each subfolder individually, which if you have a lot would be time-consuming (I think that if you select '2013' it would ignore the folders beneath it).

  • Using final cut studio what the best way of getting a mini disc in to FCP?

    I do some weddings and record some audio on to a mini disc recorder ( the small ones . On my avid liquid edit suite I just used to run it in live or ingest it on a 2 hour timer, and just record audio.
    What the best way to do it with final cut studio and final cut pro?

    Is there a reason you can't do the same on your mac system? What outputs does the audio recorder have?

    Your image history (if I understand you properly) is stored in your catalog file, and nowhere else, and so it is only on a single drive.
    Do you mean you have edited photos on multiple drives? This isn't a problem for Lightroom at all, the software doesn't care, and you can leave things just the way they are. But if it bothers you for some reason, you can move the photos to a single drive if you want. In Lightroom select the desired photos or folders (it's easier to do this using Folders) and drag them to the desired drive.
    Alternative if you will be moving lots of folders: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

  • HT4413 I want to transfer about three thousand photos on my MacAir to my iMac. Any suggestions on the best way of doing this?

    I want to transfer about three thousand photos on my MacAir to my iMac. Any suggestions on the best way of doing this?

    Are the photos in iPhoto?
    If they are, you can simply copy your iPhoto Library (located in your Pictures folder) to a thumb drive or external drive and then copy it over to your other Mac. This will only work if the iMac has the same version (or later version) of iPhoto as does the Macbook Air.  Then on the iMac, if you want to combine this new library with the existing one over there, use iPhoto Library Manager (a free download program).
    If you want to copy over only a portion of that iPhoto library, iPhoto Library Manager can create a smaller library containing just the photos you want to include. Then copy that smaller library.
