Connecting L500/025 to a CRT Telly

Yep, I'm still living in the stone age with my CRT.
I have a HDMI & VGA TV-outputs on the new lappy.
On the Telly I've got RCA, Composite, and S-Video.
What are my options?
Cheers in advance.

Hello
Please have a look on [such adaptors|http://www.yoreparo.com/foros/files/vga_to_rca.jpg] . You can connect it to VGA port on your notebook and they offer Composite and S-Video connection possibility to connect your TV.
If you Google for VGA to RCA you will find a lot of online shops they provide such adaptors.
After connecting, use FN+F5 key combination to switch between the monitors.

Connecting a new iMac to a telly

Hi all,
The college I work at is going over to Mac from PC editing systems. What's the cheapest way to connect a new intel iMac to a television so that you can monitor video editing in Final Cut? (I don't want to go via a camcorder).
Thanks,
Sean

Hello Sean
For televisions, projectors or VCRs that use S-video or composite video connectors, use the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter (M9319G/A) and a S-Video or Composite (yellow RCA) cable.

It is best to run that type of setup in Extended Desktop, running in Mirror mode "monkey's up" the iMac's display resolution.

Screaming Laptop!?!? L500/025

Hi,
My laptop (Satellite L500/25) occasionally makes this extremely loud, high pitched noise. The first time this happened was about a month ago, when I was turning it on. Nothing I could do to stop the sound as the laptop was loading up except force shutdown. It happened again today, but much softer when I was playing music on Windows Media Player and changing output from headphones to speaker. This time the sound decreased when I decreased the speaker volume...
Anyone know what's going wrong and how to fix this?

Satellite L500-1R0 (PSLS0E-06901TPL)
As I said above, it sounds like a hardware malfunction. But can't hurt to reinstall the audio driver.

An adapter for connecting a 2.5 GHz dual-core Mac Mini to a VGA CRT monitor?

This question concerns the 2.5 GHz dual-core Mac Mini from Mid 2011 (Intel Core i5-2520M) (Macmini5,2). Is there an adapter for connecting it to a VGA CRT monitor?

Thunderbolt port is physically identical the miniDisplay port and can pass video for a monitor.

How would I connect my Macbook to a new Plasma tv?

I have an Intel Macbook which has a mini-DVI output, and I can connect it via a mini-DVI to DVI cable into the plasma telly I already own. This gives me a 1024x640 resolution on my plasma.
However, I have been looking to upgrade my plasma to a new HD one, and have been looking at the Pioneer pdp-4280xd. This has all the usual connections (3xhdmi, component, s-video etc) as well as a PC input, which is SXGA. According to one website, SXGA can throw out a resolution of 1280x1024. However this telly only has a pixel res of 1024x768. Regardless, according to the Apple website, it states my Macbook mini-DVI connection only supports DVI, VGA, S-Video, and Composite (blahh!!). So I am assuming then, that my Macbook won't be able to send a signal through the SXGA port, correct?
If that is the case, how else is best for me to connect my Macbook to a new telly like this one? Can I connect via a HDMI port? I have read S-video is not as good as using a DVI input, but there doesn't seem to be much choice if there isn't a DVI or VGA input available. And if I do connect via S-video, in this telly's case, I am assuming I can only get a max res of 1024x768 (the tv has rectangular pixels to give it a widescreen aspect).
Is it best for me to wait for a 42" plasma which has full HD resolution so I can have better res with my Macbook connected? And how is best for me to connect it with all these new tv ports?
Thanks for any advise.

Hi,
Maybe the Apple TV would be the most elegant solution. However you have posted your question in the wrong forum so not likely to get any answers here.
best of luck,

Connecting macbook to tv

Ive been looking around to see which cable i need to connect my macbook to the tv. im pretty sure i need this one "Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter" but obviously it doesnt give me vga cables. so what adapter do i need after this one to be able to connect it to the tv?

I have an Intel Macbook which of course has the mini-DVI output, and I can connect it via a mini-DVI to DVI cable into the plasma telly I already own. This gives me a 1024x640 resolution on my plasma.

Macbook to CRT (RGB SCART)

Hi,
I have a Macbook (13inch-mid 2010) and I'm wanting to connect to a SONY Trinitron CRT 4:3 with a RGB scart on the rear. So I can use MAME OS X and get those arcade perfect pixels
If I get a mini dvi to vga then a vga to scart cable would it work?
Mini dvi to vga>vga scart>RGB connector on tv
OS 10.6.8
Kind regards,
Retro Gamer

I never even heard of SCART until this post and had to look it up in wiki to find out what it is. That wiki article had a reference to this article. And if what it says is true, no, it will not work. The pertinent comment is near the bottom of that article:
A video projector with only VGA style RGB connector might be a good candidate to try, but a normal PC monitors are out of questions (in SCART the HSYNC frequency is around 15.6 kHz but VGA monitors want at least 31 kHz). Video projectors can usually handle the HSYNC rate used in normal video (15.6 kHz) without problem even on their VGA connector (check technical data or tech support to make sure of that).
...or make that a big maybe it won't work. Since your monitor uses that SCART, not VGA, you would think that the higher frequency signal put out by the macbook would be more than what is required by the monitor. So in the end, I am not sure. The "fun" part about connectors/adapaters is stringing them together and seeing if they work. These adapters aren't too expensive so you might as well give it a try.

Powerbook G4 15" screen blank, can't connect to external monitor

Hi,
I've had a 15" Powerbook G4 for about 2 years now, but about a year ago, I switched it on and the display was white. I could hear the startup chime, and everything seemed to be working fine underneath, but the screen was just white.
So, recently I took it to an Apple store and in the end, they told me that the LCD was broken and that they would have to replace it for the Powerbook to work properly. As this would cost over £400, which I can't afford, I just decided to try and use an external monitor with it, as they had done in the store to check it.
So, I bought a DVI-VGA adapter from eBay, received it this morning, and tried to connect the Powerbook to my CRT monitor using the adapter.
Basically, I plugged the VGA cable from the monitor into the adapter, and plugged that into the Powerbook.
However, the external monitor just stays blank, as if it isn't connected to the Powerbook.
Please, can you tell me if I'm doing anything wrong, and if not, suggest why it might not be working.
Thanks,
sharkofmirkwood

hi i did this as posted by yan pb15 i had everything back internal and external monitor it is a wonderful trick!!!
thanks yan pb15
This "last" solution worked for my PB15 osx 10.4.11 (somebody can help you; it is at your own risk!)
1. set in Quartz Debug: a) Quartz 2D extreme disabled; b) Automatic Beam Synchronization
2. turn off PB and unplug everything
3. remove battery
4. remove all memory modules (your 1GB RAM)
5. plug AC power
6. turn on PB ( beeps; white LED blinks)
7. turn off PB
8. reset PMU (my PB model: shiftctrl+altpower)
9. turn off PB
10. unplug AC power
11. install all memory modules
12. install battery
13. plug AC power
14. turn on PB and pray
Good luck.

Powerbook G4 as HTPC to 4:3 CRT TV / app and box recommendation?

Hi--
My first post here. I've done quite a bit of research here and elsewhere, and I still can't figure out the best solution for my particular setup.
I'm getting a new MacBook Pro very soon, and my 1.5 Ghz Powerbook G4 is still alive and (sort of) kicking. I intend to use the PB for a HTPC/media server, with the media coming from a LaCie 7200 RPM FW drive.
The monitor is a late 90s, 4:3 Sony CRT TV that I like (I'm not ready for HDTV upgrade).
For sound I plan to use an old MBox 1 as my D/A converter out of the PB into my 70s Pioneer stereo amp/receiver; I'm not terribly interested in 5.1 etc at this point.
My questions are:
What app/software do you recommend for organizing/navigating the media? XBMC, Plex, etc?
How should I go about connecting my PB to my 4:3 TV so that wider-than-1.33 aspect ratios show up properly letterboxed on my TV? I should note that my TV only has composite and S-video inputs. I tried just hooking it straight up from the S-video output on the PB using the S-video- to - composite adapter (I didn't have an S-video cable handy to try that direct connection), and it looked awful no matter how I set the resolution.
If there's no way to connect the PB to the CRT directly with decent picture quality and correct fomatting, what box would you recommend to help make the conversion? Or is a box just a good idea in general? I do have a first-generation Roku, which does not have the USB jack. I'd also prefer a wired connection of some sort.
Is there anything else I should be looking at within the confines of my setup?
Sorry if this is a bit long-winded, just trying to give all pertinent info...
Thanks for any guidance, and I'm sorry if this has been covered elsewhere.

Have you tried a PRAM reset?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information.

Connecting to TV scart

Hi
I'd like to connect my MBP to a CRT TV via scart, so I can use it as a DVD player. Please tell me what I need to accomplish this...
Thanks.

You could use a DVI > S-video adapter or DVI > AV component, then feed the S-video/component video into a SCART adapter, but I don't think a DVI > SCART cable exists.

Does studio display CRT work with any new machine at all??

My old G4 just died. I got a mini but can't figure out how to connect it to this 17" CRT. Is there any new machine compatible with this old CRT? Do I have to find another G4 to work with it or do I have to dump it?
Please help

Thanks hsurfer. The link you have provided gives a helpful insight. Those with the macbook pro are able to switch from their 9400 graphics card to the better 9600 graphics card, which resolves the issue, at least with the samsung monitor. We who have the macbook however do not have the option. The problem does seem to clearly emanate from the macbook graphic card, lets hope that a fix is still around the corner, the latest firmware update clearly did not resolve it.
Im still looking for success stories, anyone who can say that their specific external 22'/24' monitor works fine with the new macbook?
kind regards
allan

Attaching a CRT

I am using a standard DVI to VGA connecter that works fine with my PC. It's not the apple-supplied one, but it should in theory work (tell me if I'm wrong).
The monitor I'm trying to connect is a 21' Sun CRT. It takes VGA input. It works fine connected to my DVI gfx card on my PC, via the dvi->vga adapter.
The Macbook recognises the CRT, and the CRT appears to be getting a signal (if it wasn't, it would sleep), however I am only getting black. I can move windows from the macbook's screen over to the other screen, but I still only see black.
How can I fix this? Is it just a problem because I'm not using the Apple adapter?

I think I figured out the problem. The Refresh rate is too low. How can I change the res / refresh rate of the other monitor?
My monitor says "Out of Scan Range". I usually run at about 120Hz, 1600x1200 in Windows. It's set to 1600x1200, 75 Hz here, but I can't figure out how to increase the refresh rate
I can change my macbook's resolution and would be able to change it's refresh rate if it was a CRT.. but there is no where to change settings for the secondary monitor!

ZiiO7 VPN connectivity

ZiiO7 VPN connectivity doesn't work. Tried two VPN providers with different type of VPN servers for Androids and connection options. Tried all ZiiO 7 VPN connection options except L2TP/IPSec CRT VPN. Tried with both firmare, version 2. and 2.2.
ZiiO support have advised that the VPN servers I tried were not?L2TP/IPSec PSK VPN as claimed but would not suggest VPN provider that they know connected ZiiO 7.
Does anyone have same experence and is there a solution? Does anyone know a VPN provider with a VPN server that ZiiO 7 can connect to and how?

Thank you for all the pointers!
Here are my results:
[root@localhost ~]# cat .xinitrc
exec startlxde
[root@localhost ~]# vi .xinitrc
[root@localhost ~]# cat .xinitrc
exec gnome-session
[root@localhost ~]#
I had installed LXDE earlier, couldn't configure the font DPI, so i tried GNOME, but forgot to change .xinitrc
Thank you !

X/XFCE broken after recent upgrade

I just upgraded, and I am having some issues with X that don't match up with anything else posted recently. I am running XFCE on a GeForce 9800 GT, and I have a dual-monitor setup.
When I run
startxfce
both screens start up fine, but the mouse is the X 'X' instead of a pointer, and when one window is open I cannot interact with other windows, or change between them with alt-tab or the like. To get a terminal I am sshing in from another machine.
I have tried downgrading xorg-server and the nvidia package, with no result or I lose the ability to start X entirely. Here is my xorg.conf:

I'm not sure what else to play with/downgrade, and I'm not sure what caused these problems, they started after a reboot. Any ideas?

I tried downgrading xorg-server-common along with xorg-server (both from version 1.13.0-3 to 1.13.0-2) and rebooted, with no change. I do not have an older version of xf86-input-evdev.
I notice that xfce4-settings has been upgraded recently (10/20) but I do not have an older version of that either.
