  • Connecting unknown, unfamiliar projectors and TVs to MBP

    Connecting unknown, unfamiliar projectors and TVs to MBP
    Hi:
    I am going on a business trip to Europe and will be connecting my MBP to unknown projectors and/or TVs.
    Which cables should I take for the "just in case" scenario?
    Thanks for your help.

    This forum is for the Mac Pro, the desktop, no the MacBook Pro, the laptop. You might have better luck in that forum.
    That being said, I would make sure you have a DVI cable, a VGA cable, and the DVI->VGA adaptor that came with the MBP. I personally would also bring/buy the DVI->Video adaptor (P/N: M9267G/A) along with a s-video cable and composite video cable (standard RCA cable, usually yellow) just in case. Also, I would test all your cables before you go to make sure they work. Nothing is worse than getting there and then realizing that you went through all the trouble to lug around a cable and then find out it is faulty.
    Generally any new projector will allow either a DVI or VGA connector, with DVI being the preferred choice. But there are still some old projectors out there that only accept s-video or composite or maybe their other inputs don't quite work right. Also, you might be forced to use a TV if you get there and find that the projector is broken or something and those other connections will come in very handy.
    Probably a bit overkill. But I like to be prepared, especially if I'm going all the way to Europe to give a presentation. The extra cost/time is negligable compared to not having what you need.

  • Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

    Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

    My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

  • WR110 and Windows 7 + Im connected to Internet but Icon in system tray shows red X

    Hi all,
    I just upgraded both my notebook and Desktop, both of which are wireless.  The Notebook connected just fine, and the system tray shows connection bars.  However my destktop is also connected, but it shows the red x.   Not sure what I need to do to stay connected and have Wireless strength bars reappear.  When I click the connection it says " The settings saved on this computer do not match the requirements for the network".  Also when I click on the red X in the system tray, the connections pop up, and I see the green bars and it says connected, but a few seconds later it goes to the red X, but Im still connected to the internet.  I have ATT DSL and they recently bridged the router to the DSL modem using PPPoe, but that was before I upgraded both PCs to 7 and I did not have this issue prior to upgrading. 

    Quack,
    I gave that a try, and changed my SSID.  On my notebook, it of course lost the Internet connection, I saw the new wireless network, and typed in the PW and it connected without issue.  However the DT which is where I am having the issue, is still doing the same thing.  I am connected to Internet as that is where Im typing this email from, but the 5 bars in the lower are still show that X even tho Im connected.  It does say the Security types do not
    match, so I would go in and change to WPA Personal, TKIP, and type in the password, but still nothing.  I have noticed that when I enable and disable my Wireless adapter in the Desktop, 2 icons come back, one for the adapter, and one called. Microsoft Virtual WiFI miniport adapter, which I have disabled, but it does not make any diff if its enabled or not.

  • Connection Between SAP GTS and Legacy systems

    Hi GTS Experts,
    Could you please let me know how to connect between SAP GTS and Legacy systems.
    This is for transfer of Customers, Vendors,Materials(Products in GTS),Transaction Data.
    Could you please provide any documentation on this and is it PI team will do or functional guy.
    One more question:
    Customer created a sales order with sold to and ship to(both contains same address) in legacy system.
    Then it will be sent to SPL screening in GTS.
    Now he will change ship to address and this should not be passed to SPL screening-- how to do this.
    Regards,
    Murali

    Hi Murali,
    Apart from what Dave mentioned as above, although there is no such document available apart from SAP Standard content document but its something that is very standard to other modules as well.
    Actually, you need to have a middle ware like SAP PI or any non SAP Product between SAP and Non SAP Legacy system. Also, mapping should be defined well in advance in this. Then it will also involve the EDI at the SAP GTS system end and Web skills( or applicale connection skills) at the Legacy system end to ensure appropriate mapping and interchange of realistic data.
    Here, I would like to know if your legacy system had already some SAP system connected to it?.
    Regards,
    Aman

  • When I connected iPhone 4,5 and 6 it's showing connected and working, only not showing wireless icon on top of screen

    As per attached wireless design I have two outdoor access points connected to cisco 5508 controller, everything is working fine only problem is that when I connected iPhone 4,5 and 6 it's showing connected and working! only not showing wireless icon on top of screen (see the attached icon), but when I connected to Android like Samsung it's showing connected and showing icon as well top of screen.
    Advanced thanks and highly appreciate

    I have an iPhone 4, 5 & 6 and when successfully connected to the controller all does have the wireless icon on the top left. I don't think they are connected to the wireless... Might be associated, but not authenticated. Look at the client on the controller and see if they are in the policy state: RUN  If they are not in the RUN state, then they are not connected.

  • Connect laptop to tv with sound

    Hi! I have a HP Pavilion dv5-2129wm. I want to watch videos from my laptop to my tv. My tv has hdmi, vga, and audio outputs. What cords do I need?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Your machine has the following ports:
    5-in-1 integrated Digital Media Reader for Secure Digital cards, MultiMedia cards, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, or xD Picture cards
    3 Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0, 3rd port shared with eSATA
    1 HDMI
    1 eSATA + USB 2.0
    1 VGA (15-pin)
    1 RJ -45 (LAN)
    1 Headphone-out
    1 Microphone-in
    A HDMI cable/cord should fit the bill. It carries bothe video and sound. You can go to any computer/hifi systems store and ask for an HDMI cable. Deepending on length, the cost can be from $8 to over $100. Sale persons may say the more expensive ones are better than the cheaper one, it's up to your choice.
    Regards.

  • HT3310 Connecting new iPhone 5 to sound system.

    I just got new iphone 5's.  i also have several "computer sound systems" throughout our home we connect our phones and iPads to.  The new 5's wont play when connected.  Is there an adapter now required for this? 

    These are computer amplified speaker systems you would hook up to you desktop computer using a mini audio cable usually supplied with the system.  The mini cable ends plug into the old iPhone 4's and the iPads and allow the music to be heard like a good stereo system.  The cable fits into the new iPhone 5, but no sound is played.  Is this any clearer?

  • Connecting home theater projector and monitor in kitchen

    I just ordered a refurbished 2.0Ghz mac mini so I can use it as my home theater computer. I would like to connect it to my receiver's HDMI input so I can display the video on my projector. I also want to connect it to a monitor in my kitchen so I can use it on a daily basis for basic emailing, surfing, etc. It appears that I can connect the mini's mini DVI port with the included mini DVI port to DVI adapter and then attach a DVI to HDMI adapter which will in turn connect to my receiver's HDMI input. Another option is that I can purchase a mini DVI to HDMI cable and avoid the DVI to HDMI connector. Audio would be fed to the receiver from the optical digital output jack to the receiver's optical input.
    In order to connect it to the monitor in my kitchen which has a DVI and VGA input, can I use the mini Display Port? I believe I can just attach a mini display port to DVI cable and attach to my monitor's DVI input? The run is about 25 feet. Will the mini mirror to my projector and monitor this way? Also how can I send the audio to both the receiver and the monitor in the second room. The monitor has a regular mini Jack audio input. Thank you.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I use the enclosed mini-DVI to DVI (D) adapter with a DVI (D) to HDMI cable and it works just fine. There is no DVI to HDMI converting the signals are compatible. And I am using an analog patch cable for the audio as you propose with the digital.
    On the kitchen monitor, Apple makes both a mini-DisplayPort to DVI (D) adapter and a mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter. But you need to know what DVI input the monitor requires, the mini is DVI (D) only. If the monitor uses DVI (D) then you can use a DVI (D) to DVI (D) cable with the mini-DisplayPort to DVI (D) adapter. If you go with VGA, then a VGA to VGA cable with the mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter.
    Audio for the kitchen is another story. The mini's audio port is either analog or digital. It cannot do both at once. There are USB audio dongles, but I do not think that the Mac is capable of doing both digital and analog audio at the same time, even out of different ports, but I do not know for sure.

  • Connecting wirelessly to projector and speakers.

    I have my projector connected wirelessly to my ipad with Apple TV and Airport Express. I also have a JBL wireless speaker that I would like to connect wirelessly.  On the ipad I have to select either "projector" or "JBL speakers" using bluetooth.  Is there a way to connect to both?  Thanks.

    Both the projector and speakers show up under airplay.  I have to select one - just wanted to know if I could use both.

  • How to restrict users working on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2

    Dear All,
    We are having an infrastructure setup of around 500 client computers managed through group policy.
    Recently the domain controllers have been migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2.
    Since this account requires extremely strict environment, we need to figure the solution for restricting the users from access anything locally.
    It would be great if you can assist me with the following query.
    How to restrict users logged on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and browsing other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2 ?
    Can we disable Network Tab on the left hand pane ?
    explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the Windows Explorer by clicking on the name which is visible on the Start Menu.

    You cannot block explorer.exe when you do not replace the shell - the
    desktop you see effectively IS explorer.exe...
    Your requirement sounds like you need a custom shell:

  • HT4108 I have a projector and I want to show output video all the time,but I can only get it to work on safari

    I have a projector and I was looking for an app that would allow output video all the time

    The one you are looking at I believe is an older model and does not have very good reviews for working with an AppleTV2 / iPad 2 setup.
    Here is the one that has worked for our district:
    http://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Component-Converter-Support-Surround/dp/B004F9XVBC/ ref=pd_cp_e_2
    I can't say if the one you are referring two works or not, however I can say that based on the reviews, it looks like you may run into problems with the $45 version.

  • Connect to the computer a sound system 7,1 with one jack ??

    hello everybody, i want to buy?the speakers system T7900, but i have only one jack slot on my computer. i have read that i can connect a system 7,1 with this slot, but i don't understand how is possible? to connect a 7,1 with jack slot. For information, i have a fujitsu siemens m3438g 75005 thank you to answer me

    I think there's no problem in connecting a 7.1 system with one jack (if so always with the green one)But you have a cheap solution that allows you to have sound on all speakers:Buy two of these http://img.mercadolivre.com.br/jm/im...65_670.jpg&v=P
    And in one of them insert the yellow and black jack and this adaptor will insert in one of the holes of the other adaptor along with the green jack having something like this.yellow/black | | adaptor/green | | adaptor | sound card
    But, although it woks you won't have the same surround sound that you could have if you connected the speakers with the 3 jacks to a sound card (without adaptors). Hope you understand, and sorry for the bad english, I'm portuguese

  • Connecting laptop to WRT350N and wireless security

    Hi, I have the following problem. I need to connect a laptop to WRT350N router. Everything works OK if I do NOT use wireless security. If I use PSK (WAP) then at the Preferred Network screen I set the settings to WAP/PSK and enter the shared key. However, this setting is overruled again and again. I can not save it. If I select my network from the networklist, many times the laptop doesn't even ask for the shared key. And if it does then it acts as if I have installed WEP on the router (which isn't the case!). I use Windows XP Home. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to solve it? Many thank, JFX

    I have a second laptop connected to the router which works ok with both the non-secured and the WAP/PSK-secured environment. The one that is not working is a Sony Vaio with LAN-express AS 802.111g card for which I have the latest driver installed. For the WRT350N also the latest firmware installed (WRT350N v2 firmware 2.016) JFX
