Do I need to purchase better cables for a Bose Cinemate Series II

When I bought this product last year, the salesperson was trying to sell my seperate cables because he said the cables in the box from Bose were not as good.  Is there a difference in sound?  Do I need to upgrade my cables?  I'm still curious a year later.

rwillen is correct you dont need the separate cables. He just wanted to make a bigger sale. Because the profit margin on the over priced cables such as Monster are HUGE! Better cables do come in to play when doing long runs of like the speaker wires, and some of your older analog inputs. But on a system like that you would NEVER notice any difference. Even on larger systems it takes a true audiophile to detect any difference. Monster and companies like them can post all the lab results they want. Lab results do not reflect real world results.
Even with long runs of speaker wire all that's necesarry is a heavier guage wire.

    if purchase iWork  for mini mac do i need to purchase iWork again for iPad and iphonee

    Yes. Mac mini runs OS X, iPad and iPhone run iOS - different operating systems
    that require different versions of Pages, Numbers, & Keynote to run. Like
    the iOS version, once you purchase the version for your Mac mini, you may install
    it on as many OS X desktops/laptops/minis that you own.

    Yes.  Numbers for the Mac is a different program than the app for the iPhone and iPad.  It can be purchased from the Mac App store.

  • Need the AD Link cable for SB X-Fi and other models. Anyone have an unneeded one?

    Need the AD Link cable for SB X-Fi and other models. Creative is out of stock & discontinued. Anyone have an unneeded one? TIA.

    This will do it perfectly. http://www.cableyourworld.com/prodde...?prod=CYW-1755
    I once swapped such a cable with the one supplied by Creative because I needed a few extra inches of length. Therefore my recommendation is no gamble, it is a certainty. The only reason I would anticipate failure is if the PIN 1 matching is not performed on both the sound card and I/O bay. I have also seen people turn the cable upside down as well.

    These are user to user support forums and Apple doesn't respond here,
    We users can't speak for Apple about your free Lion status or problems downloading, reissuing a download.
    It's possible Apple could be spacing out the downloads as not to knock theservers offline. So be patient.
    If after a week or so when the initial rush is over, and you still haven't gotten your Lion, I suggest you contact Apple.
    Mission critical
    If your using Mac's in a mission critical type environment or have third party hardware or software you must rely upon working correctly. It's advised to wait until all the bugs, driver updates, third party software and other issues are resolved before upgrading. This might take several months. Then if you do so, do one machine at a time andcarefully test everything before full deployment.

  • Do I need to purchase 2 licenses for my computers in different platform?

    1. Do I need to purchase 2 licenses for my computers in different platform? One is desktop in windows, another is macbook pro.
    2. Is it possible for me to install cs6 on more than one computer by using one license?
    Thank you.

    If you buy the perpeptual license then it would be OS specific , in that case you would have to buy 2 seperate license however If you go for the Creative Cloud then in that case it would be OS independent , you can install with creative cloud on 2 Windows or 2 Mac or 1 windows and 1 Mac.
    Also , with each license you get 2 activation hence 2 can use the software on 2 machine but not at the same time.

  • Need Touch pad ribbon cable for Satellite L350

    Hi!
    I'm running an L350 bought last September and it's been quite troublesome. The ribbon cable for the touchpad broke somehow, generally stopped working.
    I need a replacement cable but my local IT shop has been unable to get anywhere.
    Has anyone got any idea where I could get one? Anyone got an L350 or compatible laptop for spares/repairs they'd consider giving away/selling? Any help much appreciated!

    In my opinion it will be problematic to find such small parts in IT shops.
    I can just recommend you to contact nearest authorized Toshiba service provider.
    They have exact part numbers for all Toshiba notebook parts and they can order them separately.
    Check also eBay but chances to find parts for this new notebook model are not so good.

  • Do you need to purchase mountain lion for two computers

    i'm upgrading to mountain lion on my iMac and my Macbook pro. Do I need to purchase it twice?

    No. As long as Snow Leopard  10.6.8 is installed you can redownload for free. Or you can save the installer application to your Downloads folder BEFORE you install it the first time. You can then copy it to the other computer using a flash drive or other external drive. Then run the installer on the other computer. You can also do this:
    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
        Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
        Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
        the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
        must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
        installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
      a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      b. After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left
          side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.     
          Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
          the process has completed.
      d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
          list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
          button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
      f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
         drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
      a. Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
      b. Open Disk Utility.
      c. Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
      d. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      e. Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
      f. Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
      g. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
    As an alternative to the above (you still have to do your own download of Lion/Mountain Lion) you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process of Steps 2 through 4.

  • Do I need to buy extra cable for my macbook pro 2011 and cintiq 12WX?

    Hi every one,
    I want to buy a cintiq 12wx for my macbook pro 2011 and just wondering if i need to buy extra cable to connect them together. Thank you very much for your responses.

    For output from your MBP, you will need to tap either the DVI, mini display port or Thunderbolt port, depending on its age/model.  This will connect to the cintiq 12wx via whatever input configuration that they have.  I do not know if they supply and cables or not.  If it is a VGA input, there are a multitude of adapters available.  OWC or Newegg would be good sources to get the proper cables or adapters.
    Ciao.

  • Need to replace broken cable for recharger

    I have a recharger and the cable got broken. The cable was 6 or 8 feet and it worked well.
    Went to the local Verizon store and they said they didn't have a replacement cable and had to sell me an entire unit. When I got home I found out the new charger had a really short cable. It is way short.
    Went down to Best Buy and they don't have long cables for android.
    This website seems to be designed so the customer doesn't bother Verizon.
    The sales people at Verizon are really keen to get me on a new contract. I am not getting an new phone and contract.
    I don't like poor service.

    Have a Look here at these 2 Link as they might narrow down a Cord for ya.. The 1 Link is to Droid Life and there online Store the other no.2 suggestion you could Try is Android Central and there Store.. Hope this helps b33
