Determining which Audio Cable I need...

I have the following 27" iMac: Intel Core i5 2.66GHz and just upgraded from a Powermac G5. I'm having trouble determining what type of cable/adapter I need to run my Klipsch speaker setup that was connected to the Powermac G5's digital audio port. Any advise on what type of cable/adapter I need and where I can purchase it would be much appreciated.

I'm not sure what your old iMac or speaker setup uses, but the iMac's Audio Output connection has not changed in a long time. The new iMac's uses either a standard Digital Optical (Toslink) cable with a 3.5mm end or adapter on the iMac's end or a standard 3.5mm to RCA cable for analog output.

How to determine which archive logs are needed in flashback.

Hi,
Let's assume I have archive logs 1,2,3,4, then a "backup database plus archivelogs" in RMAN, and then archive logs 5+6. If I want to flashback my database to a point immediately after the backup, how do I determine which archive logs are needed?
I would assume I'd only need archive logs 5 and/or 6 since I did a full backup plus archivelogs and the database would have been checkpointed at that time. I'd also assume archive logs 1,2,3,4 would be obsolete as they would have been flushed to the datafiles in the checkpoint.
Are my assumptions correct? If not what queries can I run to determine what files are needed for a flashback using the latest checkpointed datafiles?
Thanks.

Thanks for the explanation, let me be more specific with my problem.
I am trying to do a flashback on a failed primary database, the only reason why I want to do a flashback is because dataguard uses the flashback command to try and synchronize the failed database. Specifically dataguard is trying to run:
FLASHBACK DATABASE TO SCN 865984
But it fails, if I run it manually then I get:
SQL> FLASHBACK DATABASE TO SCN 865984;
FLASHBACK DATABASE TO SCN 865984
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-38754: FLASHBACK DATABASE not started; required redo log is not available
ORA-38761: redo log sequence 5 in thread 1, incarnation 3 could not be accessed
Looking at the last checkpoint I see:
CHECKPOINT_CHANGE#
865857
Also looking at the archive logs:
RECID STAMP THREAD# SEQUENCE# FIRST_CHANGE# FIRST_TIM NEXT_CHANGE# RESETLOGS_CHANGE# RESETLOGS

How can I determine what archive logs are needed by a flashback command? I deleted any archive logs with a SCN less than the checkpoint #, I can restore them from backup but I am trying to figure out how to query what is required for a flashback. Maybe this coincides with the point that flashbacks have nothing to do with the backups of datafiles or the checkpoints?

Determining which audio channel a timeline clip came from

Hello,
How can you tell whether the source of an audio clip in the timeline came from channel 1 or channel 2 on the master? I've tried Clip Properties but that only shows which timeline track it's in (which is fairly obvious if you've just selected it).
Many thanks!!
-- Sean

Sean, its a very good question that sadly has an hopelessly inadequate answer.
Of course FCP does know exactly which specific channel of audio (from a multi-channel source) that it's referencing, but there's just no easy way of determining which channel that is after the edit has been made. In some situations I can see exactly how and why that would certainly be very useful, just as it would be useful (especially in fast turn around editing) to be able to simply reassign an edit instance's audio source channel after the fact eg to be able to target an audio clip instance and simply switch it's content from say ch1 to ch2 of the source.
As it stands, although it's possible to do this in other NLE's its not yet possible in FCP. As always, you can send feedback to Apple's FCP development team at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/finalcutpro.html
Ok, heres what you can do If its absolutely essential that you correctly identify your edit's audio clip's channel sources: you need to export your sequences as XML files (File > Export > XML). The exported XML will contains the full make up of your edit, including every clip instances audio channel sources. Its not especially human readable but neither is it encrypted, its just a plain text file .... so you can open it up in Text Edit and figure it out.
Cheers

How do I determine which app. I need to open an attacment

Cannot open attachments. How can I tell which app. I need to open it up?

Based on the type of file you are trying to open.
If its a PDF you want a PDF reader, if its a Word file you need some type of compatible Writing App etc...

How Do I determine which model ipad I need?

I initially thought buying a baic 16GB Ipad with the 9.7" screen would be simple and inexpensive. But, the more I have looked, the more confused I am. I am so technically challenged that I do not understand the "specs", let alone how to use them. I have a basic nebook that I only use for emails, chatting, shopping and research. And that is because I do not know how to use all the features available. And I love my Kindle 3G Wi-Fi e-reader but it is not color and has the external typing key pad, which has been ideal for me . I do not even know how to text on my cellphone so I had the service removed since I did not use it. And I only use the Kindle for reading but was glad got the 3G Model but their is no additional monthly usage fee.
But, now that I have been looking at the Apple ipads, I do not know if their 3/4G capabiliy service is worth the extra cost, as well as the high monthly serive fees? I am hoping someone can better explain why it cost so much more and just what the benefits will mean to me? Also, there any many benefits and added features but I do not believe I will ever learn t use many of them. And could someone please explain the advantage of "Bluetooth" and just what it means? And what other items or features will cost extra per month to use? Also, are none of the printer compatable? Is there no accessory to allow you to use a wireless printers? This was one of the most disappointing thing I have learned about the tablets. Aso, how is the quality of sound system? Mine on the netbook is very poor and even with the volume on high, it is difficult to get good clear speach. So, I never watch moveis on my computer. And I am afraid it may be the same problem with the iPads? But, maybe with an external speaker or earbuds, it could enhance the sound? If so, at least I could listen to music.
In the beginning I was not concenred which model but now after reading more about the latest Apple, I feel the new easy to read screen is something I need. So, I hope someone can help me select the right model without my buying much more than I will ever need or use. I look foward any assistance you great tech savvy users can provide. I believe it always helps to be an informed buyer. So, trying to do my homework to prevent buyers remorse.
If it is permissable, you may email me with your information and suggestions on just what features I need to look for.

Varjak paw:
I don't think you can purchase the 3/4+ wireless service unless you pay the extra for one that has the capabilities. So, if we are not certain we will need it, it is a tough decision. It it has the capablities, you are not required to purchase a monthly contract. You can just use as needed.
I do not know why this has become such a major decision for me but the more I hear, the more confused I am. The problem is it would be nice to have the special wireles service available if needed but I think it may be more beneficial to me to pay the extra 100.00 and get the 32 GB instead of the 16? But, my granddaughter says I will not need that much.
My initial plan was simply to purchse the 16GB wif-fi and keep it simple. But, after learning the advantages of the Newst model and the improved screen, I thought I should get it since I have vision problems. Another problem is these things are outdated before we can decide which one to get. And some have suggested it will be more diffucult to get parts and have them repaired with an older model. Howeverm from what I have seen with these new electronic items, they are dispoable. Usually, if something does go wrong, it cost more to repair than to replace them.
I am just experienceing this with my Kindle 3G/Wi-Fi. It is only a couple of months out of warranty but it is now freezing up. Also, it is loosing my place, and skipping pages and even paragraphs. It was working perfectly until about a week ago and of course, no one can help. You have to return it for them to check it and let you know what the problem could be and If it can be repaired. This is very disapointing to me since I was just planning to buy the Ipad. And now, I may have to replace the Kindle, which I wanted to keep for just reading. I have so many books on it and they are all in order and organized. So, this has put damper on what to do about the Ipad. If I were sure I would like to read on it as well as I do the Kindle, I would just the the Ipad and not get another Kindle. But, I will need to see what the problem is first. I really enjoy the Kindle and wanted to keep it just for my books. It is so fast and convenient to use. At least for me since I like the typing pad on the outside rather then the touch pad. But, I suppose I will learn how to use the new one? I am just so illierate when it comes to using any electronics. I cannot use a remote control,.:) I only use my computer for email, chatting and surfing since I do not know how to use many of the functions and applications that are available on it. I do not even have text on my cell phone. I have kept my electronic to a minumim. But, I thought I might enjoy the Appple Ipad and could learn to use it online so I would not have to have the computer on all the time? But, I cannot beleive how expensive it is compared to a netbook or laptop when they will do much more than the Tablet. I suppose the Ipad is a luxury for those who can afford all the lasted new technical items available.
I did try a Pandigital Tablet before I bought the Kindle and did not like it at all. So, I returned it and got the Kindle and was so pleased that I could use it so easily. And I did not need the color screen, I just hope the Apple Tablet will be easier to use than the Pandigital or I am afraid, I will be to hard for me to learn to use it and be able to take full advantage of of getting around on the internet, I had a problem with the ohter touch screen scrolling back up before I had finished typing in all the information I needed. And I had to download from Barnes and Nobels and there selection was not nearly as good as the Kindle and they were much higher.
So if anyone is patent enough to read all this and can understand what I need and could provide your expert advice, suggestion and opinions, I would love to hear from you and any or all the issue in which I need help.
Thanks - Sunny in SC

Which audio filter is needed to remove breathing?

I've got some audio on the groom (wedding), and he's standing close to the minister, but breathing right into the lapel mic I have on his jacket. Is it a "low pass filter" that I put onto the track, or is it "high pass filter"? Also, which settings work best?
Thanks guys!

When certain audio frequencies must be dealt with, I sometimes overlay another, quiet music track. When that doesn't work I export to ProTools and work with the Equalizer filters to find the exact frequency of the breathing and to bring it down. I now tell grooms to stop breathing until the ceremony is over. They faint, and avoid the trauma of going through with the ceremony while conscious.

Which FireWire Cable for Macbook Pro to Macbook Pro Migration Assistant?

Hi,
I've just purchased a new Macbook Pro 15" (standard - not retina display) and am planning to transfer my files via the Migration Assistant. My question is, I currently have a mid 2009 macbook pro (2.8GHz, 4GB) and was wondering which firewire cable I need to purchase - there are so many different types!
Thanks!

Hold T and boot the old Mac's drive to the desktop of the new one or do so during Setup Assistant or later with Migration Assistant.
Setup Assistant runs only once, at first startup when fresh out of the box or when freshly reinstalled from scratch. Migration Assistant is a regular application found in the Utilites folder.
If you're going to move all your stuff over, the easiest and least problematic way is via Setup Assistant. Since the computer is in a completely blank state when SA runs, it can create identical user accounts, permissions, etc., as the original source. MA is an app that runs on an already configured and running system and, hence, can't duplicate user accounts, modify permissions that are already in use, etc.: this can cause vexing issues for new users that may not be to well versed in multiuser operating system administration.

Which LCD cable for Lenovo IdeaPad S12 (Series: 2959)

Hi!
I have a Lenovo IdeaPad S12 for three years now... and I am generally really happy with it
Since a few weeks, however, my display is not working properly anymore. Depending on the angle, certain colors change their appearance (white colours flicker blue-ish and dark colors show red-ish flickers). I have already stopped by a Laptop repair shop and the guy said that I need a new LCD cable and the hardware should be ok.
Does anybody know which exact cable I need? I have found three different cables on offer:
50.4CI11.001
50.4CI11.002
50.4CI12.001
Is it possible to say only with my series number (2959) which of the three I need?

How to determine which chipset my Satellite L300/700 has?

I have a SATELLITE L300/700 (PSLB8A-047004). The User Guide covers several models. It indicates that the chipset determines which memory modules I need for a memory upgrade. How do I find out which chipset I have, please?
Kev.

Go to the device manger and click on IDE Ata/Atapi controllers:

Which is better for AUDIO: HDMI or the Digital Optical Fiber Optic Toslink Audio Cable?

Is there a difference in Audio performance between your standard HDMI hook up (for my Blue Ray Player) or adding the Digital Optical Fiber Optic Toslink Audio Cable. Which will sound better????
Please help...
Thank you for your time!!!

Well that is huge debate here. My opinion is HDMI cables are WAY over priced for what they are. Do not be lead to believe you have to have a 100 dollar hdmi cable, I think 50 is crazy high myself. My only concern is getting one so cheap that it might have poor connections or not last. Also if you run it in a wall it has to be rated for that.
I have a Rocketfish cable and it works fine. My guess would be the dynex cables are fine too. And if your not buying it from Best Buy there are other options as well.
Something else to keep in mind as well. If you only have one HDMI device and you hook it up to your reciever using HDMI you will need two cables for one device. The one that runs to the Reciever and then the one from the reciever to the tv. If you use an Optical cable you only need the one HDMI cable. Run the HDMI cable from the blu ray to the tv, and the optical line from the player to the reciever. This will give you 5.1 dolby or dts through the reciever and also sound through the tv since HDMI carries sound as well as video.
But if money (for cables) was not an issue the HDMI cable supposedly can offer the best sound quality of the two.

Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset Need Audio Cable

Lost both audio cables for my yellow Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset. Does anybody knows where can I get a new one? Wpold prefer the one with the volume control.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, my point exactly. Forgive me, I should have used the word common, instead of standard.
When you go to a store and want to buy a headset for your mobile, which "standard" are you most likely to see supported? Of all the headphones available today for mobile phones, what percentage of them support Apple vs OMTP? An not those $4.95 cheap things, I'm talking about a decent headset.
The headset that worked with my HTC Titan no longer worked with my 920, in fact after a great deal of searching I only found one decent headset that did, the above mentioned Nokia Purity. So what if it supports a new open standard that no one uses, how did that help me?
The worst thing about this headset is that they were cheap plastic with a terrible mic that suffers from too much wind noise - problems fixed in other manufacturers a long time ago - and because they were made by Monster, they were twice as expensive as they needed to be. I used them gingerly a handful of times and still they broke on me - which was expected.
So a year later, I want to move on and I am here to find out what I can move on too. Neither my Spyder True Voice or my NOCS work. I tried the converter route, didn't work. When I go to Amazon and type in OMTP or AHJ Headset nothing decent shows up. Now the only set that did work are discontinued - so back to my original question, what do I do now?

I have a MacBook Pro 6.2 and a Samsung HPT5054 HD TV. Can I play a DVD from my Mac to my TV with an adapter and an HDMI cable or do I need an audio cable also?

Can I watch a DVD o my TV from my laptop with an adapter and HDMI cable or do I need an audio cable as well?

A seperate audio cable isn't required for your MBpro model. It will send audio over the HDMI cable if you use the proper MiniDisplay port to HDMI adapter that supports audio.

As there is no sound only picture when connecting my ipad, do I need to also use the audio cable from Apple TV to an older Philips TV?

I have just bought a black Apple TV and it works fine when connecting my iPad to a modern TV. However on an older Philips TV, there is no sound coming through. Do I need to use an audio cable from the optical digital audio port in addition to the HDMI cable? The TV's HDMI does not appear to support sound.

Thanks. However no luck with this TV so far. I've purchased a converter to give a digital audio signal from the optical digital audio output port. The TV has an input audio digital port, but I've had no success in getting sound so far.
Is there any setting in the Apple TV menu that may affect the signal. I've tried the setting for 16 bit signal, without any success.
Perhaps this Philips TV may just not be compatible with the new black Apple TV. I have talked at some length with Philips support desk, but they've offered nothing new.

Which cables are needed to connect macbook 13" to HDTV

Can you clarify whether you're using a MacBook Pro or a PowerBook? Your post is ambiguous. For good measure please tell us when it was purchased new.
