Av connection using standard AV cable.

This website shows you how to use a standard (cheaper) AV cable to watch your videos on though the tv. It works, I've tried it.

The iPod sends the audio and video signals out of different jacks than say your camcorder, so if you want to use a standard AV cable you have to plug it in differently so the right signals are going into the right port. It's a standard cable, and if you have a camcorder you would've gotten one. It's a 1/8 in plug for the output and standard inputs. Very sneaky on apple's part. I'll probably buy the kit anyway once i've got some spare cash though. They've got me hooked!

I have a Sony handycam DCR HC46E I also then have IMovies version 10 I am trying to transfer movies from my tapes to I Movies. I am connecting using an ILink cable 9 Pin to 4 Pin. The camera is not appearing in IMovies?

I can see DV in Link in th top right of the camera screen so it appears that the two are connected (if I remove the cable then this disappears). I have tried turning off the Mac and then turning back on with the camera turned on and connected to the Mac, still not being seen?
Not sure where to go?

I have a "P-menu", and a "standard set" but I cannot see an a/v button. It seems to make sense in a way though because the ILink says DV in, not out which is what I am looking for. So I cannot change it to DV out.
Hope you get yours sorted.
Thanks

6230i connection using DKU-2 cable

I have just purchased a DKU-2 cable and am trying to connect my 6230i to my laptop using Nokia PC Suite v6.5. When prompted I connect the phone using the cable and everything appears fine. I reject the "Use phone as data store device" and the laptop finds the new hardware, seems to find all the drivers and then tells me that it is ready to use. However the connection wizard doesn't move so I'm stuck on the Connect Cable screen with the "next" button disabled. I've trued reinstalling and repairing Nokia PC Suite, and tried various usb ports on the laptop but nothing works. Can anyone help?

Forgot to add that I am running Windows XP SP2 and Nokia PC Suite version 6.5

Cannot connect using Wireless WRT54G

I use windows vista and I can connect using an ethernet cable. But whenever I try to connect using wireless, it says "the settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network" How can I fix this?

The wireless settings on your Vista computer must match the ones on your router.

Connecting iPOD classic to TV using Apple Component cable

I have a 80g ipod classic and an apple component AV cable. I am trying to connect this to an TV with component video inputs. This TV is not an HDTV. I have attached the bl gr r cables in the correct position. I am getting a scrambled picture for NTSC and a split picture for PAL. based on my location I am sure that I should be using NTSC.
I brought my iPOD into a local apple store and he was able to plug it in to an HDTV there with no problem so I'm pretty sure that niether the ipod or the cable is defective.
My question is:
Is the ipod classic only compatible with an HDTV using the component cable? If so, will it work using the composite cable?

The dock is only good so you can use the remote. I don't know what the problem is with your Standard TV's with Component Inputs ... I've tried two different ones, also different brands, and they worked. I did make sure to change the iPod Video Settings to "TV Size = Standard". If it's set to Widescreen, that may account for the problem.
Otherwise, I'd suggest returning the Component cables and getting the Composite ones ... or just get the Composite ones as well. Personally, I think Apple totally screwed us all over by not just adding ONE dang Composite Video out cable to the AV Cables and allowing the Component Out to have a HD/Standard switch, much like most of the Game Console AV cables available. I don't know why they didn't do this, especially since we've got about 2 years before EVERYONE starts upgrading to HD. I guess they're just hoping to rake in some extra money by not making the Component AV Cable more capable.

Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

Please take the Mac to Apple store to have it checked out.

Can you open a terminal and invoke the following commands:
ping -c 10 localhost
and
ping -c 10 google.com

The DKU-2 cable is no longer supported and so cannot be guaranteed to be compatible with current PC Suites, you should be using either your current CA-53 or the CA-70.
Have you had the chance to connect any other phone with the PC using this cable? This would test if thr cable itself might be faulty.
Otherwise remove PC Suite, PC Connectivitiy Solution and Connectivity Cable Drivers from control panel, run the PC Suite Cleaner program that you can get from the PC Suite support pages on the web site, then reinstall everything.

I would like to connect my Apple TV to my receiver using an HDMI cable and pass thru dolby digital. I do not have optical inputs on my receiver.

I want to connect my Apple TV to my receiver using an HDMI cable. This should allow me to pass thru high definition video and simultaneously decode Dolby Digital material with an HDMI connection from my receiver to my TV without the use of an optical cable (my receiver does not have an optical input). I am unable to decode 5.1 material and don't understand why this is not working. In the audio setting I have Dolby Digital output turned on.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you sure the content you are playing has Dolby Digital.

I can't get a picture on my toshiba tv when I connect it to my Mac Book Pro using an HMDI cable

In 2010, we bought a MacBook Pro 7.1. We also bought an HDMI cable that connects directly to the MBP’s mini display port and to the HDMI port in the TV. The TV is a Toshiba. We made the connections and selected the correct ports and got nothing on the TV, except a “no signal” message. The Display window on the MBP recognized the Toshiba TV. We tried the same hookup with a different TV (Phillips) and we got video (no sound) on the TV with the same mini display port to HDMI cable. We borrowed a mini display port to VGA adapter with a VGA cable. The adapter also had a separate audio cable that connected to the TV’s audio port. That worked. We got both video and audio on the Toshiba (but the video was not HD). We connected my Kindle Fire HD to the Toshiba using an HDMI cable, and that worked. We got both video and audio on the Toshiba. So, we proved: - the mini display port works - I can get video from it to the Toshiba with a VGA adapter - the mini display port to HDMI cable works – I got video through it from the MBP to the Phillips - the HDMI port on the Toshiba works – I got video / sound from the Kindle and its HDMI cable What do I do to get video from the MBP to the Toshiba using the HDMI cable I have?

Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?----------------------->
Read the tv user manual. I have a Toshiba which has detailed instructions for tv to comp hookup. If necessary call Toshiba. Especially, if you are still under warranty w/them.

I have a new Macbook Pro - trying to migrate files etc from my Macbook Air using a Thunderbolt Cable between the two. I follow the directions but the two computers never "discover" each other. WiFi connect works but 70 hours is a rough deal.

I am trying to connect a Macbook Pro to a projector for a Powerpoint presentation. When I use a VGA cable, the color of the projected images are not good. When I use a USB cable, the projected image includes the presenter notes on my computer screen?

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

I will be using a HDMI cable to connect an Apple TV box and a Comcast cable TV box to my TV. My TV has only one HDMI port.

I will be using a HDMI cable to connect an Apple TV box and a Comcast cable TV box to my TV. My TV has only one HDMI port.
To do this I will need a 2x1 HDMI splitter or a 2x1 HDMI auto switch (preferred).
?Is there any Apple TV HDMI port voltage?
When using a HDMI auto switch to connect two devices to a HDMI TV, the
Auto switch cable box only works for components that do not output continuous voltage over HDMI port when turned off.
Do you know of any other solutions? Componets? Actual expierances?

Cable : HDMI switches expand the number of available HDMI ports on a high definition television allowing connection of cable boxes, Blu-ray players, and game consoles. A side benefit is that cable clutter is also eliminated by running a single HDMI cable to your HDTV from a switch and relocating the HDMI ports to a concealed location. The problem with most HDMI switches is that you have to either get up to push a button, or hunt for the remote control, to switch sources. The true mark of any great switching component is an ability to perform its function and remain transparent in its operation. This automatic HDMI switch is a plug-and-play away from offering everything you are looking for in an HDMI switch. Select a single output from up to three devices for signal delivery to your HDTV. Smart operation provides complete control for connect-and-forget operation. Powering on a device gives it output priority over the other devices. By powering down the device in use, output priority is returned to the last powered on device. Note: Auto switch function only works for components that do not output continuous voltage over HDMI port when turned off.
Here is a typical HDMI 3-in 1-Out HDMI Auto Switch

Thanks for any help. Sincerely,
HDMI auto switch?

Hi Erico,
I tried what you said again but without success. I even updated the driver so that that audio driver is the same as the graphics driver i.e.. NVIDIA but this has not helped either:
Do you have any other ideas?
Many many thanks,
Louise
