Does no one make a Firewire to HDMI breakout box?

Back in the day I used a small inexpensive ($200) analog breakout box to get SD video from my PowerMac G5 workstation to a broadcast NTSC monitor. Firewire ran from the mac to the box, and Final Cut treated the box as if it were a camera or a deck receiving signal. The box had component out which ran to the monitor. Relatively inexpensive and worked great.
What I'm wondering is why I can't find a similar solution for HDMI in today's HD digital world? With a Mac Pro you can just send an HD signal directly to a second or third monitor, but with a MacBook Pro you can only connect one display so if you're already using an external display there's no way to also send a signal to a video monitor. Are there no options that don't involve $2,000+ AJA boxes? Thanks.

Well thankfully the Macbook Pro to which I am referring is in fact a 17" model with expresscard slot. So what I'd need is this $449 Matrox MX02 Mini?

That's actually not too bad. I mean it sure beats having to buy a $2,000 breakout box.

Why does no one make this cable?

Common problem: If you have your iPhone in a case, you won't be able to dock it to external speakers.
A simple solution would be an extension cable, 30-pin female to 30-pin male. I finally found one made by CableJive, which I bought from Radtech. However, it won't work because I'm using an Otterbox Defender case (which is excellent), and the case is designed to accept an Apple cable. While the electronics probably work, the plastic piece that surrounds the female end, which should be able to plug into the iPhone is not the same shape as the original Apple part, so it interferes with the case. It makes no sense to my why CableJive, who must know that their product will be almost exclusively used with iPhones and iPods, would shape that piece differently than Apple did.
I have no confidence that a second party product will work. I will probably use the original Apple cable on the iPhone end, but it's a male USB on the other end. Now, I have to figure out how to convert a male USB to a 30-pin female.
Can anyone help me?

Hi Dan,
I have a competitor to the Cablejive: the Sendstation Dock Extender, and am trying to use that with an Otterbox Defender case. This Dock Extender also has excess plastic that interferes with it connecting to my iphone with the Otterbox case. Can you please give me details about how you filed off the corners of your extender?
Thanks,
Nancy

Does Apple make a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter? Not an off brand one, a legitimate Apple product.

I have a new Mac Mini and I want to connect a second monitor through the Thunderbolt port. I have not been able to find a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter that is made by Apple. I know there are some adapters made by other companies but I would prefer to have an adapter made by Apple. So does anyone know if Apple does in fact make an adapter that is Thunderbolt to HDMI???

I use this one - it has much better reviews and you can buy five of them for what Apple charges for the Moshi:

Which sort of HDMI cableis recommended for connecting Apple TV to aTelevision? Does it need to be a normal HDMI cable or one which support Ethernet capabilities?

Which sort of HDMI cableis recommended for connecting Apple TV to aTelevision? Does it need to be a normal HDMI cable? or one which supports Ethernet capabilities?

no need to go for an expensive HDMI cable as Varjak Paw rightly suggests.
Pretty much all of them come with 1.4 standard these days.
The difference in price is made by additional shielding and material used for the wire - hardly ever needed at home installations - unless you get interference from other devices.
on the other note.
one HDMI in your TV is obviously not ideal as well as using HDMI splitter or hub - but it should work.
Also I know cases that some LG TV models do not work with Apple TV - which was confirmed by LG technical support.
Those are rare cases and i do not want to worry you at this stage.

No.

Does any one know how can I make reflowable book?

I wanna make a reflowable book on iBook Author.
But I can't find the solution.
Does any one know??

Not sure what you mean by "re-flowable" in iBooks Author if you copy a few pages of text from Word or pages and paste into a flowing text template - it will flow and open pages..ditto import from Word or Pages. But once in place... its fixed to the reader.

Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???

Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???
I would expect that it would make an unusual noise if plugged into a generic USB charger that does not have enough oomph to charge a pad to alert you - otherwise, you might think the noise is reassuring that you are actually charging it.

I guess my question was actually more of a comment on the (lack of) design! It is unusual that something like this would still be in an Apple product. There are wall chargers that have a USB port on them that do not have the required oomph to charge the iPad. I have one that has two USB ports, one for my iPhone (it won't charge an iPad), and one for an iPad with greater amperage rating. I accidentally used the wrong ones for a while yesterday, but noticed before being "surprised" the next morning by an uncharged iPad. The iPad is smart enough to say "Not charging" by the battery icon when it is plugges in to one of these, so it "knows" - seems like it would be fairly simply to have the iPad make a different or additional noise wehn it puts up the "Not charging" text icon. Failsafe user experience?

HT4623 Every 10-12 minutes my I-phone 4 comes on automatically and the screen is the one where we enter password. When it does that it makes just one beep.

I have multiple problems with my i-phone 4S.
Every 10-12 minutes my I-phone 4 comes on automatically and the screen is the one where we enter password. When it does that it makes just one beep.
Sometimes, it just shuts down and comes back on by itself.
I am downloading the 6.1.3 update as I write this.

Many thanks for responding and helping me, it is really appreciated. I have done exactly as you suggested and used your link to run the hardware test. It advised that I do have a Hardware problem.
The error was: 4SNS/1/40000001 : IDOR.0 .000
I have done some searches to see if other customers have had this problem and there is a lot out there about the black screen with the macbook pro and retina display. I am not very technical, I undestand some people say to reset the PRAM but I honestly have not a clue about where to start to see if that helps but perhaps I should as I am nowhere near an Apple shop.
It just seems odd to always revert to this old screen saver image no matter how many times I have changed it in the last 6 months it shuts down and goes back on a daily basis.
Would you say that now I have a real error number does it mean I need to pack it up and FedEx it away to an Apple Store before it shuts down and never comes back?

I updated Imovie and now it crashes, I haven´t been able to start it. Does any one know how to solve it? please.

Hi I will really apreciate your help. I have try all I have seen posted.
1) unistal/install again imove
2) Verify and Restore all disk permitions.
3) I dont Have the 3ivx file. only the 2 files that should be in the quicktime folder.
4) I have move.. deleate all projects from preferences, and also from the i movie folder..
So far are all the solutions I have seen. Does any one know about something I have miss??.. Please I really need to make a video. I dont have time machine (my mac is kind of new) 100 days.. so not cover the apple phone call. .

Same thing is happening to my iMovie. It just crashes after opening. I don't know why, but I was able to use it a few weeks ago.
I hope we can both get an answer. Otherwise I may have to take it the apple shop.

Sales order does not allow make-to-order production

Dear Friends,
I am trying to do do planned order for sales order in MD50 it was showing the error message as
"Sales order does not allow make-to-order production"
Can any one solve this
Shakthi

Hi Shakthi,
It is also possible to set the priority for Requirement Type determination like
0 Material master strategy, then item category and MRP type
1 Item Category and MRP Type
2 as 1, with check for allowed requirement type.
The transaction for this is same as "Requirement Type Determination :
Sales and Distribution --> Basic Functions --> Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements --> Transfer of Requirements --> Determination Of Requirement Types Using Transaction
Look for "Source".
In this transaction, Please, check "Requirements".
Please, make sure of the following 2 things :
1. If you do not set an indicator for maintaining the requirements class: Transfer of requirements is not carried out, irrespective of the specification you make at schedule line level for the transaction.
So it is necessary to mantain the setting first at the Requirements Class. As mentioned in my earlier posts, the requirement class for the material can be found out from Planning Strategy / MRP3 view --> Main strategy (defined in the strategy group) --> Requirement Class for Customer Requirements.
The IMG path for "Define Strategy" is Production --> Production Planning --> Demand Management --> Planned Independent Requirements --> Planning Strategy --> Define Strategy.
2. Once the "Requirements" indicator is set in Requirement Class, the requirements indicator at the Schedule Line decides whether or not you require transfer of requirments for the relevant transaction.
I hope this should solve your problem.
Regards,
Sandeep

How much sound does a RMBP make

I'm planning on getting my first Mac. The $2,799 MacBook Pro with retina display 15". I have a student discount so it will be $2,599 instead.
I am going to wait for the next generation of MacBooks to be released, also I have a question about its sounds. Will it make a lot of sound like fan noises? It needs to be COMPLETELY silent. Because I will be using this next year in class when I'm a sophomore. And does the keyboard make any noise either? Thanks!
Also, if I get something like "it depends on what you are doing" here are some examples.
5-7 tabs open and a text editor for notes, some system settings and misc things. No gaming. How much sound does this make?
Thanks in advance!

I have one and it is totally silent, unless I am mirroring video to my tv, then the fans kick on.
For example, I routinely have ten or more tabs open and it is silent. Video or video editing may make the fans be audible. The keyboard is quiet.
I am a low income person who loves the retina display. It makes ordinary photos seem professional. The extra size from the 13" is useful.
Best to play with the choices at an Apple Store to check out your preferences, if possible.
Text on the retina kind of spoils me for any other computer.

Does time capsule make duplicate copies of the files those are already exist in it?

Does time capsule make duplicate copies of the files those are already exist in it?

It's not clear just what you mean.
If you're backing-up your Mac, via the Time Machine software, to a Time Capsule or external HD, then yes, by default, Time Machine will copy everything the first time. Subsequent backups will copy only what's new or changed.
If you mean, can you back up other data on a Time Capsule, no, not with Time Machine. It can only back up TO a network location, not FROM one.

Does and one know if you can change the navigation menu at the top of the iWeb template pages?

Does and one know if you can change the navigation menu at the top of the iWeb template pages? I need to make the background a little wider.

It depends on which template you use.
You can also hide the default navigation and build your own which allows more freedom of design and is better for search engine optimization...
