No S-Video and composite video cable adapters from Apple?

Hello.
Is it me or does Apple's http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/mac_accessories/cables/cable_choo ser not carry any video cable adapters that go to S-Video and composite inputs (an old Panasonic projector TV from Y2K) from MacBook Pros (2008 and 2012 models)? This is just for watching fullscreen videos.
Thank you in advance.

Might want to canvass Mom & Pop computer stores in the area, that usually don't have such a furious inventory turnover rate as the big chains, and maybe you'll find what you need. Or look in eBay, Amazon, etc. Note that you don't NEED an Apple-labeled adapter, just one that will plug in whatever ports you have left and gives the required output.
OK and thanks. I tried to find on big retailer stores online like Best Buy, Fry's Electronics, Office Max, Radio Shack, etc. but had no luck. Or maybe I am not searching correctly (DVI S-Video and DVI composite keywords as two examples)? I did find Apple's on Amazon.com based on the model number from someone on comp.sys.mac.system newsgroup: http://www.amazon.com/APPLE-M9267G-DVI-Video-Adapter/dp/B0000ACOBL/ ...

  • My Late 09 Macbook has a loose video cable. Will Apple fix it for free?

    The screen randomly freezes up unless I push the screen slightly forwards or backwards. I'm assuming that this is due to a loose video cable. Will Apple fix it for free? I've tried disassembling it but I can't seem to locate the right screwdriver for some of the screws.

    And even if it was in warranty, disassmbling it may have voided it.

  • Purchased Mountain Lion about a week ago and still cannot redeem it from Apple Store. Getting a "please try again later" error?

    Guys,
    I have Lion. I have software that is not yet ready for Yosemite and I need to download video editing software that will only run on Mountain Lion and above. With this in mind, I purchased Mountain Lion online LAST WEEK. I received the secure email/pdf and tried to redeem it from Apple Store. I keep getting this message: "This item is being modified. Please try again later". That was about 6 DAYS AGO. I gave it some time and tried today and I am still getting this message.
    What is going on? Called customer service and got disconnected twice (I don't think intentionally though). The third person had more info on this and it seems that Apple is just finding out about this and it may be related to the Watch rollout. Why don't Apple people say something? I check online and my order says "complete" but I have not received what I paid for and there's an error occurring. Now I am just here waiting to see if and when I can get this software.
    Can someone provide more info on this? Is there another way to get Mountain Lion? Is it available on disc?
    Without the OS upgrade I cannot use the video editing software.

    App Store support. There is troubleshooting and a contact link.

  • My touch died and I got a replacement from Apple.  I restored from backup, and it installed all my apps.  My iBank and Docs to Go will not set up to sync.  In both cases, when I enter the numbers it says they are incorrect.  They aren't.

    My iPod Touch died, and I received a replacement from Apple.  I restored it from my last backup, using iTunes.  This reinstalled my apps as well.  These included iBank Mobile and Documents to Go.  I have the desktop versions on my MacBook.  When I attempted to sync I was directed to install the device.  OK.  In both cases, I get to the point where I am instructed in type in the numbers from the iPod screen into the desktop to set up the sync.  When I do, i get an error code in Docs to Go, and "the number is incorrect" from iBank.  I tried deleting and reinstalling the mobile app for iBank with the same results.  Help please.

    When you restore one device from a backup of another device, keychain items like passwords are not restored unless you used an encrypted backup.
    Try logging into the two apps. Next I would try deleting the apps and redownload resetup the apps.

  • I am new sto Lightroom and have also just changed from Apple to PC.  I cannot figure out how to download photos from the Photoshop library to a file that will be sent to MPIX for processing.  Also, does Lightroom have an easy access to a photo processing

    I am new to Lightroom and have also just changed from Apple to PC.  I cannot figure out how to download photos from the Photoshop library to a file that will be sent to MPIX for processing.  Also, does Lightroom have an easy access to a photo processing capability such as MPIX?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Microsoft Word and Excel Hang When Pasting From Apple Applications

    I have had a problem ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard. Word and Excel hang when pasting from Apple applications like Safari and Pages. Pasting to OpenOffice does not show the problem. Pasting from Firefox does not show the problem. I have resolved font duplicates, got rid of input managers, reinstalled Office removing plist files and normal templates but the problem persists. Microsoft is saying it is not their software after looking at the crash dump created from force quit. Besides, sticking to open source software , I am at a loss for what to try next besides reinstalling Mac OS X 10.6 (I am on 10.6.2 now). Any help appreciated. I have crash dumps and snapshots of the hung process if anyone can read them. Word is using close to 100% of the CPU when hung.

    Microsoft is saying it is not their software after looking at the crash dump created from force quit.
    If their software is freezing up, it's certainly nobody else's fault. If those Apple apps are for some reason creating bad clipboard data, Microsoft's apps should be able to gracefully recover and report the problem. Error handling is probably one of the most important, and most difficult, aspects of programming, but you can't blame poor error handling on anyone but the developer. I suspect that, rather than bad clipboard data, it's more likely to be a case of Microsoft's apps simply not understanding something about perfectly valid clipboard data, because they haven't properly followed Apple developer guidelines.
    Of course, that's not a solution. I can't really provide you a solution, other than to ask what version of Office you're using. If you're using too old a version of Word, you should update. You should also let us know what kinds of stuff you're copying. More info always helps to get better answers.

    Hi..
    Try a reset...
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Then restart your iPad.
    Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears.  Slide to power off.  After it is off, press the power button to turn it back on.

  • Old Apple dock and composite AV cables

    My old iPod with Color display (circa 2005) recently died, so I'm getting a new iPod Touch 4G.
    the old iPod could display pictures on the TV as well as play music. I had it in an old style genuine Apple dock and used a genuine Apple Composite AV cable to connect the dock and my home entertainment system so I could show the pictures on the TV and play music through my surround sound system. That old Apple AV cable did not connect through the dock connector but is connected to the dock through a headphone like 3.5mm plug. That old Dock also has an S-Video out
    All the original stuff was bought years ago when I made good money... but I lost my job over a year and half ago and just got another after being out of work that long that pays significantly less than I used to make ...
    As my old iPod died, after living on shoestring budget so long with NO frills, even though money is still tight, I decided to give myself a gift for the holidays and replace it with a Touch.
    I knew i would have to replace my old Apple Firewire chargers (I have 2) and my old 3rd party firewire car charger (in the car I had a line out cable from dock connector as well which I connected to a cassette adaptor for my 9 year old car)..
    But figured I could find USB chargers cheaply and could still use the old dock and AV cables (as those were - and still are- outrageously expensive)...
    But I've started reading things which I think are saying is that I might not be use my old Apple Dock, and Apple Composite AV cables which is making me nervous.
    So ... can I use the old Apple Dock and AV cables for video with the 4g Touch????
    There should be no TECHNICAL reason for it not to work... but maybe Apple has gotten a bit more greedy...
    If it does not work for video, will at least the audio part of the cable connected to that dock and the s-video out work? I can make that work with what I already have to get audio and video.
    If not then I need a lot more new stuff I can't really afford... and will be very very disappointed and angry with Apple... There is no good reason those things should stop working other than purposely sabotaging them to make me have to buy new over priced accessories! I PAYED my apple tax on those already!
    Thanks for any info...
    A worried karen

    Apparently there are at least 3 different Dock model numbers.
    The Model number is the most important and can be found on the bottom of the dock.
    The part numbers may change due to several things like boxing an AV cable with or without a wall charger. You would probably get the same cable but the part number on the box would be different due to possible other contents inside the box.
    1. *iPod Photo Dock* Part# M9868G/A, Model# ?????
    with iPod AV Cable or S-Video cable Part# M8765G/A
    2. *iPod Universal Dock* Part# MA045G/A, *Model# A1153*
    with iPod AV Cable or S-Video cable Part# M8765G/A
    3. *Apple Universal Dock* Part# MC746LL/A, Model# ?????
    with Apple Composite AV Cable Part# MC748AM/A
    or Apple Component AV Cable Part# MC917ZM/A
    I had both items in #2 above. I still have the iPod Universal Dock and it came in its own box.
    No remote, No cable(s), but did come with 5 dock adapters.
    I never tried my iPod Touch through the Dock to the TV. I did try the iPod Touch using the older iPod AV Cable to the TV but that did not work and the link above tells us it doesn't. That's why I bought the newer Composite Cable which does work when directly connected to the TV and the iPod Touch.
    I gave my older cable away to a friend so I can't test if it would work like the document says or not but like you said, in theory, it should work.
    According to the document given above and below, the iPod Touch should work with your Dock you have now even though it doesn't list the 4th generation. (I don't think they have updated this yet)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454
    If you buy a new iPod Touch 4th generation, then I guess the only way you will know for sure is to try it out and let us know here.

  • IOS 8 Update and Composite AV cable

    I have an Ipad 2. Before the IOS 8 update I was able to use an Apple brand composite AV cable to connect my ipad to my TV and watch videos from the internet (like youtube). Now that I have updated my Ipad I am no longer able to do that. The sound will come out but the video will no longer play on my TV. Any one know how to fix this??

    Hi wright44taylor,
    If you are having issues with your TV not getting video from your iPad through your Apple Composite AV Cable, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How do i delete a video or playlist from apple tv without removing those items from itunes

    I don't know how to control content on apple tv. The only way i know to remove a playlist or a certain video from apple tv is to remove the corrisponding playlist or video.
    how do i manage files on apple tv

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Depends which Apple TV you have.
    On the Apple TV 1 you can uncheck it in iTunes, on the Apple TV2 you can't remove it, you can however give the content a parental rating and manage what content is restricted for playback using parental controls.

  • Loading video to website from apple Quick Time Streaming Servers (QTSS)

    Is anyone currently doing this? What advantage does it have for videos on websites?
    Thanks

    If you're talking about just using the DVD as a storage medium to be played on a computer thru QuickTime Player, the drawback I see is the bitrate or bandwidth requirement staying within the ability of the DVD drive to spin it out. Other than that, does a CD have enough storage for the size of your file? Reading off a CD is generally faster.
    As to a website, a .mov file will play properly, A .mp4 doesn't always invoke the Quicktime player...
    Or am I misunderstanding you?
