Can I view slideshows via an USB cable on my television
I would like to watch my slideshows on my television, can I do this via a USN cable between the Apple Mac Pro and the televison's USB port
Sorry, but this is not possible. If you use your iMac as a "base station", you cannot use an Airport Express as a "wireless-to-wired" adapter.
The best solution for you problem is to buy at your local computer shop (a) a wireless router (which will share your DSL modem connection and provide a place to cable your iMac to) and (b) a wireless network adapter card for your PC. The wireless router will cost you around $50, the wireless adapter for the PC around $20-30.

Can I watch my slideshows on my television via a USB cable and if so how
I'm new to Apple so still learning! I wold like to view my slideshows on my television via an USB cable is this possible and how do I do it ?
I'd ask that on the forum for your model of mac. The video out capabilites vary from model to model.

I have an iMac running OS X 10.8.3 and have connected an Epson Workforce 2540 printed that is allegedly Airprint enabled. I can connect and print with a USB cable but can't connect via Airprint. My colleague running 10.7 can. Is this a feature of 10.8? Any ideas for a fix?
iOS devices use AirPrint to connect to a supported printer. OS X will use Bonjour to locate and connect to the same printer.
With the Epson connected to your wireless router, when you open Print & Scan and click the plus button to add, does the Epson appear in a small box with a heading of Nearby Printers?
If not and a window appears showing Default, Fax, IP and Windows in the toolbar, do you see the Epson with the Default view selected? -
I just got an HP Stream 8 tablet with Windows on it. I have a Mac desktop running 10.6.8. I set up Home Sharing by making sure both had the same version of iTunes and I authorized the new tablet (desktop already was). (I haven't exceeded the number of authorized computers.) I would like to take some of the playlists I have on my desktop Mac and copy them into iTunes on the tablet. I hooked up the tablet to my desktop with a USB cable but wasn't able to get it to copy. I do not have WIFI....is there a way to do this by just having the tablet hooked up via the USB cable? If so, can someone please talk me through the steps necessary to do that? Thanks!
Did you erase the machine and set it up with your accounts or is the previous user still on it?
Please note that Mountain Lion is far from being an app, it is your Macs operating system.

My computer can not recognize the new Apple iPod touch when it is connected via the USB cable (that goes with it) attempt to attach it to the computer.
You do have iTunes installed right?

OK, the videoformat may be changed (PAL, NTSC) by plugin a specified cable to be connected the iPhone to the TV, but how can I force to have PAL-format instead of NTSC to be send to iMovie via the USB-cable? Al this transcoding afterwards takes a lot to much time. Is there a solution before sending the clips?
Well, thanks a lot. iMovie '11 is similar, but not identical and unfortunately I don't seem to find any "Frame Rate Pop-Up menu" when I generate a new Project. Do not find an "Aspect Ratio Pop-Up" either. Also the help does not speak of this options. I just have to choose a Theme and that's it. Also the "Settings" Menu for the Film does not help.
I also checked the general settings for iMovie:
So I would dare say, there is actually no possibility anymore, to set the output format. And also when I create the output file, there is nothing more than a short list of resolutions.
I do not understand why all options were taken away. I admit, I am a little disappointed.
Best regards

How can I tether my Blackberry over USB cable (to sync info)? [SOLVED]
Firstly, I have to thank all of you for making this such a great community and excellent guide to getting almost anything working on Linux - this is what makes Archlinux the best distro IMHO. I have hardly ever needed to post anything here because the answers are almost always either in the wiki or the forums.
Lately though, I received a Blackberry 8310 and wanted to tether it to use its data plan here in Ecuador. After following http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Blu … GPRS_Howto using a small USB bluetooth adaptor, this has worked well and the connection stays up nicely, though very slow (to be expected). Blueman is a great program! Looking at improving my connection speeds (and reducing my latency), I am now trying to get the phone tethered via a USB cable to the phone, rather than over-the-air (Bluetooth).
The problem I am having is that I cannot establish which device exactly is the USB port connecting to? Before this phone, this worked fine on my Nokia E51 setting the modem to be /dev/ACM0. On Nokia, I would connect the phone, select PCSuite mode and 'sudo wvdial movistar' or my /etc/ppp/peers/movistar script would work fine. Blackberry however is a whole different kind of animal. I connect it with a standard USB cable, select 'no' to mass-storage-mode on the phone, and can see it in lsusb fine but the only device I seem to be able to use is /dev/tty2 but modem not initialising.
How can I be certain which device I am using? Will post some lsusb and dmesg.log out put when I get home to give you more info.
thanks for any guidance you can give me,
Last edited by minimal (2010-11-16 16:18:48)Well, haven't got much further here unfortunately, though I have more logs and debug information now:
First, I connect the blackberry to the USB port and run 'lsusb':
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0fca:0004 Research In Motion, Ltd.

so I have my blackberry device listed by the looks of things..
I then run (for more info):

Maybe the blackberry required 'usb_modeswitch' - though I could not work out how to use this command
Any ideas out there? Is there a simple way for me to probe USB devices in use? As far as I can tell it IS /dev/tty2 but I need to confirm this.
Many thanks,

Connecting my Touch via the USB cable
I am connecting the Touch to my car via the usb cable as it has a built in ipod app. The car recognises the Touch and I can access all the menus and songs, select what I want to play and play the song, all from the car controls. The only problem is that the music plays from the Touch instead of through the car. Any ideas? It is a 32Gb Ipod Touch running 3.1.3. Any help appreciated.
What Carolyn says is correct. You can, however, share an Internet connection with your iPhone wirelessly by turning in Internet sharing (found in System Preferences > Sharing.) If your MacBook Pro is already using a wireless connection, you can just connect to the same wireless network it is using.
Best of luck. -

apple tv showing wire to connect to itunes via mini usb cable which i dont have?
You need to get the cable to restore the ATV to factory settings, following the procedure here.
USB mini cables are available from many different sources; often even from local stores like CVS or Walgreens. They are inexpensive, as little as a few dollars online & around $5 from some local discount stores. -
I have a Lexmark printer which is a little old. So when i connect my iphone to it via the USB cable my printer doesn't recognise it. If i bought a bluetooth adaptor for the printer would i be able to print photos via bluetooth?
The only way to print from an iPad is to have a printer that supports AirPrint. Here's a link to an Apple support page on AirPrint.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
AirPrint is way to print wirelessly via Wi-Fi but it requires that the printer supports AirPrint. The iPad cannot use Bluetooth to print and it will not print when connected via USB. -
I have iPod apps (from the App Store) like ABC player, NBC player and Facebook. Can I view these via Apple TV on my tv?
This is app dependend. From each app, look for the AirPlay icon (square with the triangle). You may see it or not or you may also see only an audio icon (like probably for ABC and NBC) as some app prevent video AirPlay.
For Facebook, the anwer is no. In order for it to work, you need AirPlay mirroring which isn't supported on iPod. -
Sir,
Since I downloaded the latest version 5 to my I-Phone and I-pad the quality of the photo's that I download from my computer is poor and grainty, prior to that it was perfect, I downloaded these via a USB cable and not via Clouds: is there a problem with version 5 or am I doing something wrong ??

Can I use a compatible Nokia USB cable?
It seems like an obvious question, but I want to avoid making a fatal mistake!
Please note: the only reason I wish to do this is for convenience (1 cable permanently attached to my pc/ 1 cable permanently attached to charger).
I can see the Sony & Nokia micro USB cables are "identical".
I have plugged in my Sony charger plug to the electricity with the Nokia micro USB attached.
When I then connect it to my Sony z1 the device appears with a message “Go Connect”…
I have not continued until I get some advice please.
Should I initiate “Go Connect”?
Should the Nokia USB cable work? [note: as I am only attaching the cable to the Sony charger plug, then the voltage should be controlled by the Sony charger plug, no?]
Do I have any risks in using it? [I understand “it is recommended to use Sony original chargers”]
Will the phone still recognise both the charger with the Nokia USB cable and the Sony USB cable on my pc without any conflicts?
Would it also be ok to use it as the USB cable on the pc?
I really appreciate help – it will simplify my life!
Phone: Sony Z1 Compact
Android 4.4.4
Sony Charger plug: EP880
Sony USB/ charger cable: EC801 [micro USB data cable]
Nokia cable: CA179 [micro USB data cable]
Solved!
Go to Solution.A cable is a cable - Some cheap and some not - The use of a standard fit is to stop manufactures claiming part of the market for themselves however there are some manufactures that are exempt - So yes the cable will be fine - If using it froma mains plug then the output should not exceed 5v and 1.5a or 1500ma

PDF from a MacBook Pro to my iPhone via a USB cable
Hello!!!!
How can I transfer pdf files from my mac to my iPhone using a usb cable? All I want to be able to do is email files off with my iPhone. I'm going away for a few days so don't really need to get mobile broadband for my mac but I can imagine a client calling to ask if I can send them a rough design layout!
Hope that makes sense!
