CONNECTING MY TV TO MY COMPUTER

I have an old Toshiba CF27F50 television. I have my internet service through my cable company (Time Warner Cable) with an Arris TM402G/100 cable modem. I want to connect my TV to my HP Pavilion Elite HPE 380T computer as a second monitor, but I also want to still be able to use it as my cable TV. My computer appears to have two DVI inputs. One is being used by my current monitor. I have a Yamaha HTR-5760 receiver that I use for my Home Theater. My TV has a cord with a yellow connector (I believe it may be called an RCA Video Cable) going from my receiver to the TV. There is an S-Video input open on the TV. What is the easiest and cheapest way to do this?

There's no simple way to convert DVI to s-video, which is what you'd need to do here. A simple cable isn't going to convert it. You'd need some sort of middle-man device.

HP 6700 all in one wireless printer, got the latest Comcast router. None of which connect to my computer wirelessly. Which do I throw away the printer, router, or Mac? Help

Contact HP for support.
Explain that you are using a Mac, anticipate the inevitable groan, and wait patiently for their resident Mac expert to return from vacation.
Until then download and install its driver here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=5058338&cc=us&dlc=en &lc=en
Otherwise return the printer and purchase one from a company that visibly supports OS X. HP isn't on that list.

I want to use an old 3 GS iPhone that is no longer in service as a phone now as just an iPod to play music. When I connect the phone to the computer with iTunes running, iTunes says it can't connect to the device because it didn't get a valid response from the device. How can I get the system to recognize the phone, and let me rename it as my iPod, instead of my phone?
As an aside, the current installed operating system on this old iPhone is 4.2.1, but that wasn't one of the selectable options in the operating system list dropdown below. Don't know if that makes any difference.

Can anyone help me connect my Macbook Air to a SAMSUNG TV. When I follow the basic instructions (Thunderbolt to HDMI connection) the screen on my computer goes grey and an error message appears inviting me to press any button to restart the Macbook. When I do this nothing happens. Only when I disconnect the computer from the TV does the Macbook allow me to login. The TV does not receive any signal from the Macbook even though I know the HDI port works fine. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to enable something on the Macbook?

An update...
I downloaded Apple's (rather large!) list of software updates today, and I was finally able to recognize my iPod again. I did a restore using the iPod updater from 06-2006, and all seemed to work OK. (I'm afraid to try the new one again!)
Then I tried to re-load my music library from iTunes, and got stuck. It froze up after a while and wouldn't go any further.
When I disconnected my iPod from my computer, I find 2 podcasts and nothing else, though iTunes told me it had transferred 600+ songs. Those 2 podcasts do play fine, and the basic iPod software all seems to be intact.
So -- anyone get through this connection problem and have any ideas to share??

Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues: First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".

Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues:
First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services". I'm not sure what this really means...
The second issue is when I try to select "Manually Manage Music"
The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes libary on "MY-PC". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
So... I don't want to do that, but I do what to be able to Manage my music. I'm not sure what it means by being synced to another iTunes unless it means to an older version of itunes?
Anyone have any ideas?

I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

I connected my iphone to my computer, and somehow my apps downloaded to itunes, and erased from my iphone, i re-uploaded them to my iphone and now all the game data is missing, including extra levels that i have paid for.

After i connected my iphone to my computer to upload some pictures, the couple of apps that i had synched to my itunes, later i noticed that this deleted them from my iphone, therefore i re-connected my phone, dragged that apps back onto my phone and all seamed okay. Till i went to play an app (dinner dash) and notice that now only was all my data (scores and level beaten) erased, but i had also purchased extra levels and these are no longer available, they are asking my to pay for the levels again. I know they weren't expensive, but i already paid for these and obviously still want them without having to pay again? Any help would be great, i can't even seam to find a email address that i could write to on the apple site for help!! I either want to get these levels again, or my money back to download them again.

Hello johnohuk,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

Hello jbsarts,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with a connection error.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I have also located a document that deals with A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning. The document may have "Scanning" in the Title, but it will troubleshoot the issue just the same.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

My iPod touch screen says it is disabled. Connect to iTunes. When I connect the device to the computer a window pops up and said that the iPod is locked and I need to enter the passcode on the iPod..... I can't get it to do anything. Any ideas?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

It doesn't quite work that way. Transfer your music from the old computer to the new one. Then, sync the iPod.

What am I doing wrong that I can't connect to a very remote computer?

Maybe I just don't understand the definition of "remote" but I can connect to computers on my local Ethernet network, but when I attempt to connect to my dad's computer a thousand miles away, I get a "disconnected" or "offline" comment. He has Safari and Mail active, and we are looking at each other through iChat, so I KNOW he's online.
He's 84 years old, and the communication is killing me, but I've had him turn on all the permissions in Sharing, so I can't figure out why I can't get on his machine. He's got a new iMac/Intel box, and I'm running a G5; we're both running 10.4.7.
When I "edit" his information, very often the address turns from the number I've entered to "0.0.0.0." and I can't change it. Our IP numbers are only different by 50 in the last set, which seems odd to me, but I'm ignorant!
According to the Sharing panel, the IP address is supposed to begin with "afp://" but that gets stripped out when I enter it - in fact, sometimes (but not always) it won't let me enter the slash marks.
I'd appreciate any info you guys can give me.
Thanks!

what's this about 'consumer hubs'?
i've tried almost every trick i've read, short of doing a complete dump and re-install of all software. i just can't get connected to someone over the internet. could it be their service provider doing the blocking?
as i've only tried connecting to one other person's computer in one area of the globe it's difficult to say what the problem is.
here's a thought for apple - have a dummy site (for us dummies) that we can access using ard, thusly allowing us to test our own settings to make sure the problem doesn't reside with us.
any help would be great.

Helpppp My Ipod Will not connect to itunes via my computer, but when i plug it into my laptop it connects but doesnt have all my songs on the itunes library. How can i add songs to my ipod via my laptop

Nothing should be lost.
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
See the Using iTunes Section Here...
How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
NOTE:
The 2nd Gen iPod Touch can only go to 4.2.1

Hi Terri 4514,
If you are having a "free space" alert when you try to sync, you may find the following article helpful:
