Can I use a Sony all-in-one PC/TV as a second display for the G5?

I'm trying to build a pro music system out of my G5, which means that it should only have music software on it. I have an aluminum 20" display hooked up to my Radeon x800T video card, which has one DVI and one ADC jack on it. A pro music rig needs two 20" displays, at least, to display all the mixers, processors, instruments, etc. I have to use a PC for my financial stuff and need a new one. The new Sony Vaio VGC-VA 11G is their version of the i-Mac G5, it's all-in-one plus it is a 20" LCD TV with S-video and composite video in, not VGA in. If I get an ADC-to-VGA adaptor and hook that up to a VGA-to-S/video & composite adapter (all on ebay!), can I plug the output of the G5 to one of the video ins on the Sony Vaio and then use the Sony Vaio's TV as the second display (not simply mirroring the Apple display)? I guess it would be the same as using an LCD TV as a second, non-mirroring display. If it works, it's going to be cool!
Power Mac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.2)   Dual 2 Gghz (not quad), 3 Megs Ram, ATI Radeon x800T 256

By reading the user's manual, it appears that is possible. Download the User Manual from this link:

With the computer off, turn on the monitor, button farthest to the right.
Next button to the left of the on/off button, controls the input. Cycle it until you see HDMI in.
I don't have B520, but I have an A310 and it works the same.  I hope that works for you.
Good luck!

  • Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Not via Time Machine.   It cannot back up from a network location.
    The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives.
    EDIT:  And, if you're going to do that, you could back up from the Time Capsule to a USB drive connected to the TC's USB port.  Second TC not required.

  • When using disk utility to copy one drive to another is it common for the screen to go black

    I have a G5 and the main HD is making a little noise. I installed a new HD and was using disk utilities to copy the old to the new. The message came up that it would take 5 hours to copy. The screen went black ... is this common? How do I know it's doing it's thing?

    I always set the Energy Saver settings to "never" whenever I do things like volume cloning, software (especially OS) downloading and installing, or using Disk Utility for most anything.

  • Use of HP All-in-one C6280

    Hey @all
    I have a MacBook Air and I want to use my HP All-in-one C6280. I downloaded a software from the HP homepage, but It doesn't work. If someone have a software please help me.
    Thanks!! Stefanie

    There doesn't seem to be any software for your OS on the HP site.  It looks like everything you can get for the printer installs through Apple Software Updates (ASU).  All you need to do to get the printer installed can be found in the document below.  Let me know what happens.

  • I have an older Ipod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new Ipod Touch and cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?

    I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?  It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!!  THANKS!

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • I can use iMessage with all iPhone uses except for ONE person.  That person can use iMessage with all other users, but not with ME.  What's the problem???

    I can use iMessage with all other iPhone users that I communicate with, except for ONE person.  When I send to that person, it always goes through as a text message.  This person can use iMessage with pther people, but when they send me a message, it always goes as a text.  Why can we both communicate with other people using iMessage, but not with one another?

    Hi Russell,
    1) If you have OD set up and "editor" has UID 1111, then when they log in to any machine that's bound to OD as editor, they will get UID 1111. Therefore, there won't be any of these permission errors. This is typically the recommended approach.
    2) I assume you mean "You'd prefer to not using open directory?" Whatever the case, OD isn't mandatory with Xsan -- it's just that with multiple user accounts, managing them centrally tends to be easier. For 3 or 4 accounts and 3 or 4 machines maybe it's no big deal. If you go larger, it could get a lot more complicated. That said, if you set it up such that each machine has the exact same set of users (as you said, Mary = UID 502, Fred = UID 503, William = UID 504), then you can do what you want. Mary can log in from multiple machines at the same time, and in general you won't have permissions problems. Of course, if you try and read and write the same file from multiple workstations at the same time, you will get file locking issues, which will prohibit somebody from successfully writing the file.
    File locking issues are different from general permissions errors. The former basically says "hey, someone else is editing this file. Therefore I won't let you edit it right now... you can read it if you want though." Permissions means somebody saves it, and Xsan thinks you saved it and own the file, when you really don't.

  • Just updated to '09 and can't use Garageband at all

    I keep getting error messages that say "required software extensions are missing" and "garageband has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party MIDI or audio drivers." I don't have additional drivers anywhere, and I'm pretty sure the upgrade from the iLife 09 DVD was complete.
    If gb does manage to fire up, I can't use it at all. I click on one thing and the multicolored ball spins for two minutes. I've tried restarting, doesn't help.
    Anyone know what's going on?

    isteveus, yep, I'm using 10.5.6. MattiMattMatt, thank you for the suggestion--I took out the two GB-related files I found in preferences (com.apple.garageband.cs & com.apple.garageband.plist) and repaired permissions (which took about an hour...is that normal?).
    Still having the same problems. Any other troubleshooty things I can try?
    Just to confirm: when you removed the preference files, did you throw them out? It's probably a long shot, but just to make sure, you should throw them all the way out.
    Repairing permissions does take longer in Leopard than it used to in Tiger, although an hour sounds like a long time even for Leopard, (after all that time, I hope it at least found a few permissions it could repair).
    Other than that, if you're sure you didn't install any other drivers, perhaps it needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled (just guessing)?

  • Can i Use two qery hints in one SQL(Oracle)?

    Hi,
    Can i Use two Query hints in one SQL(Oracle)? USE_HASH and No_Merge
    Thanks

    user10916886 wrote:
    Can I use like
    /*+ USE_HASH(X,Y) NO_MERGE(X) */
    will this work?Not really: NO_MERGE relates to mergeable views, not base tables. So whilst the USE_HASH may result in a hash join between the tables X and Y, USE_MERGE will be ignored for X.
    As hoek says, however, HINTs should be a last resort only, and if they're to be used at all you're best to stay with those that don't involve explicit objects, like ALL_ROWS, FIRST_ROWS_10, etc.
    user10916886 wrote:
    Im my database, if i don't use query hints. The expalin plan uses Nested loops, hence the query takes a lot of time.You would be better trying the ALL_ROWS hint here, instead of USE_HASH.
    Edit
    The optimizer, however, will have chosen NESTED LOOPs where it did because it believed that to be the most efficient data retrieval path with the information that it had to hand. So, if your statistics are comprehensive and up-to-date, yet the optimizer is continually opting for the less efficient plan, there's something else wrong, and HINTs are only masking that problem in the short-term.

  • It used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    it used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    You can print to the Adobe PDF printer, but that only creates links that Acrobat or Reader recognize as such. That is the reason for needing the entire URL on one line. It is not actually an embedded link, but one created by Acrobat on the fly. With OFFICE 2013 you have two choices: 1. create the PDF with the print to Adobe PDF and then add the links in Acrobat so that they are complete or 2. I think the WORD save as PDF or XPS will create the PDF with links, but not sure. If so, that would be the quickest solution for you, but be aware of potential problems with the MS plugin.
    Of course, the third option is to upgrade to XI which can be done with AA 9. You will probably not be eligible for a for an upgrade to whatever the next version will be.
