Can't figure out how to connect my Macbook Pro to my TV...
I bought a Gigaware Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter from Radio Shack. Hooked everything up but still nothing.
I watched a couple youtube videos and realized I need to turn my "Mirror Displays" on under the "Display" tab. But I dont have the "Arrangement" tab...it says it is "hidden because you only have a single display attached to this computer"
What do I need? Or is my computer not detecting the adapter therefore my adapter is not working?
HELP PLEASE!
My macbook info:
Mac OS X
Version 10.6.8
Processor: 2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo
Memory: 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Pardon, for some unknown reason, i was thinking of Ethernet to mini display adapter
Apples are 3rd party on the HDMI to MDP adapter and are $35

pardon my error, .......so many adapters out there
Try the video instruction first before returning the adapter.

Living in Japan and I'm an American who just signed up with Soft Bank the phone service here and spent a TON of money on an iPhone. I can't figure out how to connect my bank account at home to my app account so I can Skype my family. Please help!!!! I don't have a credit card nor do they gove debit cards to foreigners here, or at least it's really hard so I'm using my bank at home and still have a debit there. My phone number is 8 numbers plus the country code which is strange! Another thing is I was given a phone email that I was told to use for texting but I'm not sure how that works!! It's so frustrating too because no one speaks English here and I'm not very tech savvy. God bless you if you can help :)
whichever app store you are connecting to, hyou need a credit card with an address in that country. Also, itunes gift cards must be in local currency too.
If you are in japan, you need to use the japan app store -

I can't figure out how to make my MacBook (videos, etc.) show up on my TV. Help?
I am attempting to connect my MacBook to my TV. Unfortunately, I am trying to make new technology and old technology talk and they don't seem to like each other (I think my TV is about five years old and I have the current MacBook). I have the cords to hook up the two devices (Component cords, Component to VESA Adapter, and Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter) courtesy of the Apple tech staff. However, when I hook them all up, it still isn't showing up on my TV. I'm on the correct setting for my TV and I know that the cords are not broken or anything. It's really frustrating. I don't want to have wasted my money on the cords...Any suggestions? Thank you!
I have the same problem - but the other way round i.e. the macbook is a few years old and the TV is only a few months old - so I'm hoping for some helpful pointers. The cables bought in the Apple shop on their advice added up to around £45 - worth it if it works, of course, but a big waste otherwise. One website I found suggests putting the macbook to sleep when all is connected then powering it up to get the TV to recognise it - yet to try that out.

I've tried for three days to hook up my wireless router.. I have a WRT54G and a Wireless G USB adapter and DSL modem, when I hook up the router like the setup tells me, I do not get internet access.. I have no clue what I am doing wrong, according to the setup everything should be working, but when I run the setup cd for the router it says that the router is not supported... I've downloaded the updates off the website too.....

I am connecting my new iMac to my Buffalo router. I forgot my router password so I pushed the reset button and my computer was able to connect. The problem is, I can't figure out how to set my new password and lock the router. I went to the Buffalo website and downloaded the CD, as I can't find that either. I can't open any of it because it says it is Windows and can't open it. I am new to Apple!

Ah, new to routers too.
Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
To explain everything would require writing a book here.
But this is what you want basically.
Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
(guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
3: Guest access on devices and computers only. Passwords written down and stored.
4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution. -
I can discover the headset, but soon after discovery it disconnects. Haven't been able to figure out how to try to re-connect. And the help section titled "Use BlueTooth has absolutely no information on how to use it. All I can do is re-discover it. Every time I rediscover it, it disconnects shortly afterward. This headset works well with both my iPhone and iPad and has for quite some time. But it won't stay connected to my Mac.
Tried with another headset that works fine with iPhone and iPad. An LG HBS700. Same problem. It connects for maybe 10 seconds and then disconnects. So it must be a problem on the Mac. But this Mini is out of warrentee so taking it into an Apple store to get it repaired isn't a good solution. Maybe as a last resort.
Is there a way to select connect on the Mac? Everything else I've connected a BlueTooth device to has both a command for pairing and a command for connecting or reconnecting. I can't figure out how to select connect on the Mac. -

Also, when you get a chance, backup your iTunes purchases to an external drive or burn to CD's.

I want to transfer an audiobook and a movie from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4S, and can't figure out how. I went to "Help" and it said after connecting the two devices I should "Click Apps," but I can't find anything labeled "Apps" to click. Help?!!
If you have iTunes 11 on your Mac then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S, that might make it easier to navigate.
Connect the phone to your Mac and select it on that left-hand sidebar, and on the right-hand side of the screen there should be a series of tabs which you can use to select what to sync to the phone. If it's an audiobook then it should appear on the Books tab for selecting/syncing, and films will be on the Movies tab. When you've got the audiobook on your phone you should get an Audiobooks option in the Music app (you might need to tap the '...' tab at the bottom of the Music app to see it). -
And how am I supposed to answer my own question?
I can't figure out how to respond so ill go this route. I can't seem to find the button/place to which I can choose, to turn on a hot spot. I have been through every option and searched to no avail. Could it be that my iPhone 4 is not hotspot capable as I was led to believe by the apple sales associate? Is there an app I can find to make my phone a wifi hotspot? So I can get on the Internet to view the pages I want that require adobe which this piece of **** software monger won't even support?

How do I use GarageBand as a amp/speaker to listen to my Electronic Drum set? I have a MIDI-USB cord already but I can't figure out how to listen to my set through the software using my computer speakers?
If you want to listen to the sounds of your drum set, you should use an audio cable and connect it to the computer's line-in, then create a real instrument track.
If you use a Midi/USB interface, you'll have to create a software instrument track and select one of GB's drumsets as the instrument. Hopefully your drumset's midi notes are mapped to the right sounds in GB. -
I can't figure out how to sync my songs I downloaded to my itunes?
I downloaded songs to itunes on my computer. I can't figure out how to sync them to my ipod. It says to click devices and pull up my ipod, but there is no "devices" listed, though I have registered, etc.?
Connect your iPod to the computer with the provided cable.
Open up iTunes.
You should see your iPod in the Device list.
Click on it.
Choose what you want to sync to your iPod and then click Sync.
