Can't use svideo as tv out.......

Hi guys, this is my 2nd question in this forum.
I have a problem using svideo as a connection to my samsung crt tv. I'm using my old dell svideo to composite cable and a yellow rca cable to connect my pb g4 to my tv. Unfortunately, after I connected the cable, and hit detect display, there is nothing happen. I have try command+F2 and F7 to no avail. I have try to shut down my mac and restart again but still no effect. Finally I try to use reset-all in startup using command-option-o-f, and nothing happened.
Please let me know if there is something that I haven't done yet.....
I'm a newbie in mac, so it's possible that I miss some simple step.
Any help will be appreciate......

Hi, here is a partial slice of my PB G4 550 manual, and part my advice: Usually I just mess around until something pops up, and that has never failed me, but you seem to have tried a lot of options. Here goes:
-switch off the TV set with PB started up.//-Plug in the cable to the TV//- Switch on the TV//- Push Command+F2, external device should be recognised.//- Open System Preferences>Displays, uncheck
the Mirrored Display box so as to get an extended desktop, and in the window that is not called colour LCD, choose a resolution. You should get some kind of dektop, but in order to see a DVD image in it, you need to drag the window onto that extended desktop.Whether that be up, down, right or left depends on your choice within the "arrange" window. Same window also serves for dragging your menubar to the TV if you so wish. No need to restart after applying changes.
Apps like Keynote and Quicktime Pro have very neat presentation modes which will give you a very clean fullscreen videoscreen on the extended desktop, whereas DVD Player will leave you with at least the controls on your TV.
Of course, do not forget to manually select the external input into which the PB is fed on your TV, since only SCART will autoselect your source.
If this does not work, I will try and duplicate your setup whenever I find the time and if I can, given my hardware. Please let me know which PB and OS exactly you are running in that case.
The best of luck!

  • Can T420 use 3 display with out a dock.

    Can T420 use 3 displays with out a dock.
    One on a laptop display, one via VGA port and another one via DISPLAY port.
    I use T420  4178-BYT with Intel HD Graphic 3000 (no nvidia).

    You have to re-activate it with the original sim card, or one from the same carrier it's locked to (unless it's not locked, then any GSM sim card will do).  The sim card itself doesn't have to be activated, it just has to be the correct one and be inserted.  After that you can use it as an iPod Touch.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406.

  • How can I use widgets as applications OUT OF DAHBOARD ?

    Hello dear friends,
    How can I do to use Widgets as applications *OUT of Dashboard* ?
    I know there is a way, and I've noticed TinkerTool can do it, but how to proceed ?
    I think I should ask them directly, but I didn't for the moment,
    and I'd rather prefer to proceed with an Apple solution
    than with a third party software.
    Does anybody have the solution ?
    Thank you for responding
    With my kind regards

  • Can i use keypad without cutting out speaker?

    When I need to use the keypad to input numbers while I'm in a call, the speaker cuts out. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for the sound to return, so I lose the answer, usually from an automated system. Other iPhone users say this should not happen. Any way I can fix this, or is the phone broken?

    Can I use MainStage without owning Logic?
    If you buy it from the AppStore, YES
    SASPro wrote:
    For a $29 download, does MainStage also come with all the content (sounds, etc.) for its built-in instruments, or is it assuming you already have those b/c you presumably own Logic?
    All the instrument and FX plugs are included, and a (massive) additional free download within the Mainstage application will get you all the extra content.

    This question may need its own separate thread, but: Ideally, my keyboard setups for a "concert" may need as many as five VSTs per song
    Caution: Logic/Mainstage will only work with Audio Unit (AU) plugins, NOT VST. Most 3rd party plugs are available as AU plugs, but you need to make sure you have installed them.

    Has anyone tested this more-complex and memory-taxing sort of a setup out in a live situation?
    Yes, and memory/CPU issues not withstanding, Mainstage generally works extremely well for this.

  • Can I use my iPhone 6 out of the box to take photos, before syncing it with my computer?

    I will be receiving a new iPhone 6 at the beginning an upcoming trip and would like to use the great camera on it to take photos. The problem is I won't have my computer with me during this trip. Will I be able to use my iPhone right out of the box to take photos, and when I sync my iPhone for the first time will I risk losing those photos? Thank you for the help.

    Will I be able to use my iPhone right out of the box to take photos
    Once you have activated the iPhone with a sim inserted
    when I sync my iPhone for the first time will I risk losing those photos?
    Yes unless you transfer Photos off iOPS device to your PC/Mac

  • Can you use objects as "cut outs" for other objects when they are only bitmaps?

    Hi, If this is possible, this would help me a TON.
    I am using Flash CS4 professional
    I will explain the issue. I have made a tree with a tree trunk and on top of the trunk I have made steps. I am making a Flash Game and you have to go up this steps to continue on the level, while being able to collide with the parts of the tree that aren't the steps. To do this, I would have to cut out the parts on the trunk that are the steps. I have already made the steps. It would take a long time to remake them when the trunk is isolated as a selection and delete the part. If there is a way to just put the already made steps on the bit map and then use it as some kind of cookie cutter-like thing, it would be VERY useful for many things. If something like this exists, or if there is any way to do something like this, PLEASE TELL ME !

  • Can I use the iPhone 5 out of the box as a wifi device?

    Can I buy an Unlocked iPhone 5 from Apple when it is released and use it out of the box as a wifi device without needing unlock codes and sim cards? I do not plan on getting phone service right away and would like for the device to be functional (basically like a real expensive iPod) until i'm ready to get service.

    Meg is correct, unless you activate it using a microSIM if it is a GSM phone (and starting service with a CDMA phone) you will not be able to do anything with your new phone except call 911.
    Why not just wait and buy it when you can afford service?

    MTU,
    The ePrint Services are not designed to double side "duplex". 
    I hope this helps you.

  • I need help! how can i use my phone with out sim

    how could I manage the fact my iPhone 5s wont activate with out sim card? I just want to use it as a ipod!

    You can use old iPhone as iPod, but first you need SIM card to activate it.
    Insert a SIM card into the phone and connect it your computer with iTunes open and follow the activation assistant to activate the iPhone. Once the iPhone have been activated, remove the SIM card.

  • Can I use the LAN port out of the network?

    I just bought an Express to use with a neighbor. They have a desk top PC and a DSL modem. If we plug the modem into the extreme, can I just plug his PC into the LAN Port without having to configure it to the Extreme (we don't want to create a linked network, we just need the signal to pass through like a router)? Ideally, this is what I want, for them to not have anything to deal with, just me setting up my own laptop and leaving their system be.
    Will our computers be linked at all if the wireless aspect of it is only being used for my g4 ibook?

    cactus101, Welcome to the discussion area!
    You mention Express and Extreme. I'm going to assume that you are connecting the PC to the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
    Yes you can plug the PC into the AEBS's LAN port. The PC will be configured to use Ethernet and DHCP to get an IP address. The PC doesn't won't even know that the AEBS exists. It will only know that a router exists and it is connected via Ethernet.Will our computers be linked at all if the wireless aspect of it is only being used for my g4 ibook?Yes they will be on the same network subnet.
