Firewire, USB, Ethernet, DVI - none of the side ports seem to work

hey guys, just got this macbook and whenever i plug anything into the side ports, the mac doesnt seem to recognize anything. usb, ethernet, firewire, anything. Any suggestions? Im relatively new to mac os so i dunno if im missing something simple, i thought this system was plug n play?

Make sure the device you are connecting to your Mac is turned on
If that doesn't work, you should definitely take it to the apple store and have them repair it

Apple Tv (3rd generation) says it is connected (via ethernet), but none of the app, or channels, will work. They all say they are unvailable, try again later. The only thing that seems to work is iTunes. (I live in a dorm if that helps)

Its not properly connected to the network. Most school networks require login via webpage, which isn't possible as ATV has no browser. You will need to contact the IT dept or the network provider.

Same ol' problem, none of the suggested remedies seem to work

I've seen this issue numerous times in discussions, but after trying all of the suggestions, I'm still up a creek.
FCP 4 quits on me everytime I try to open it. It quits right after "Loading Audio Filters" and I have done some software updates in the past week, so I think it has to do with those. I just updated to the latest iTunes, would that affect FCP?
Here's what I've tried:
1. FCP Rescue
2. Prebinding (docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93984)
3. Repair Disk Permissions
4. Rebooting
Any other suggestions or resources to point me to? Any help much appreciated!

Connecting DVI Monitor to the ADC port

I have a G5 with dual video ports. One is an ADC Port and the other is a DVI port. I want to get rid of my Apple display and connect two Dell monitors both of which have a DVI connectors. How do I connect a DVI connector to the ADC port? The DVI to ADC adapter is for connecting a ADC Apple display to a DVI port. Is there an adapter for doing the opposite--a DVI plug to a ADC port?
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

The ADC to DVI adapter is for connecting a DVI LCD to the ADC port. It cannot be used with a DVI to VGA adapter to connect a VGA display to an ADC port. For that you need an ADC to VGA adapter, such as:
<http://www.mac-pro.com/s.nl/it.A/id.230/.f?sc=2&category=128>
These are becoming scarce as the ADC is no longer being manufactured.
Your Sun monitor should work from the ADC port using the ADC to DVI adapter, and the Fujitsu from the DVI port using the DVI to VGA adapter.

I have 15000 photos in my 1Phooto library in 58 events. I have also made 27 slide shows from some of these events. When opening iPhoto, the photoscome up slmost instantly but the side bar seems to take forever to come up. Is there s limit to the amount of photos yu can have or to the amount if items in the side bar?

Try this basic troubleshooting technique: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - reboot
4 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

I am also providing you with a screenshot of what appears! I need photos on my iPad2
Message was edited by: angana

You don't see it on the left-hand side of iTunes - you need to connect and select the iPad on the left-hand side, and then one of the tabs on the right-hand side that you use to select which content to sync to the iPad should be Photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You will need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from it.

How can I sum up raws? the sum function seems to work for columns only and right now I have to create a separate formula for each raw

How can I sum up raws? the Sum function seems to work only on columns. Right now I have to create a separate formula for each raw

Hi dah,
"Thanks, but can I do one formula for all present and future raws? as raws are being added, I have to do the sum function again and again"
You do need a separate formula for each group of values to be summed.
If the values are in columns, you need a copy of the formula for each column.
If the values are in rows, you need a copy of the formula for for each row.
If you set up your formulas as SGIII did in his example (shown below), where every non-header row has the same formula, Numbers will automtically add the formula to new rows as you add them.
"Same formula" in this context means exactly the same as all the formulas above, with one exception: the row reference in each formula is incremented (by Numbers) to match the row containing the formula.
Here the formula looks like this in the three rows shown.
B2: =SUM(2)
B3: =SUM(3)
B4: =SUM(4)
That pattern will continue as rows are added to the table.
Also, because the row token (2) references all of the non-header cells in row 2, the formula will automatically include new columns as they are added to the table.
Regards,
Barry

Dead B&W G3 ? Only the power supply seems to work...

Hi Everyone...
Here's my setup:
Powermac G3 B&W Rev.B
Processor: Powerlogix G3 750FX (1Ghz)
Ram: 1GB (4x256Mb)
OS 10.4.9 (latest OS supported by Powerlogix)
HD: IBM desktar 120MB
DVD-Rom: Samsung DVD-/+R
PCI 66Mhz -> Radeon 9200
PCI 33MHZ -> M-Audio 2496 Audiophile Audio Card
PCI 33MHZ -> Sonnet Tango 2.0 (USB/FW)
PCI 33MHZ -> Sonnet Tempo ATA133 (my main drive uses this card)
The B&W G3 has been one of my hobby machine for a year (I mostly use it as a jukebox to listen to AIFF disc images in PCM / uncompressed sound).
Anyway... it died on Saturday night... just after upgrading to a Sonnet Tempo ATA 133 card...
As I've been a Mac user for a long time (and I've been there before with a Gossamer MB in my beige G3 which died out of the blue once), I completely did empty the motherboard... adding one element at a time to isolate the issue but the fact is that:
a) no startup sound
b) black screen (nothing comes out of the Radeon 9200)
c) only the power supply seems to work
d) even when plugging the HD into the MB IDE socket, the HD doesn't even activate itself (no boot).
Of course, I went through the CUDA switch, tried to reset the PRAM, checked the jumpers on the HD (master position)...
I also tried to boot the system off the OSX Tiger Install DVD but nothing...
I have a feeling that my MB may be DOA.
What do you think ?
If this is the case, since I'm using a Tempo ATA 133 PCI Card, does it make any difference to replace it with either a REV.A or B MB ?
Thanks for your help,
Pierre André.

Hi Grant,
I posted the following on another thread, but I haven't gotten any response.
I'm having a similar problem with a B&W 350 MHz (rev 1 I think). I get the start up tone and nothing appears on the monitor. Not sure if the machine is actually booting or not.
I am trying to repair this machine for a friend. They had been having a problem with the machine booting into a blue screen. I suspected a corrupt directory, so I ran Disk Utility (from another machine) and also Disk Warrior. Both Disk Utility's Disk Repair feature and Disk Warrior found problems. Disk Warrior was able to successfully rebuild the directory.
I had removed the hard drive from the machine and put it in an external casing in order to run Disk Repair and Disk Warrior. Upon putting the hard drive back into the B&W and booting the machine, I was able to successfully boot the machine into Tiger. I tested the machine for a few minutes and it seemed to work fine.
Next, I ran software update and installed a new version of Safari and then after the required re-boot, tried to repair disk permissions. During the repair of disk permissions, the machine froze up completely. The clock stopped ticking and there was no mouse or keyboard response. I tried using the re-boot button on the front of the machine, but the machine would not fully re-boot. I get a boot tone, but no video.
I tried re-setting the CUDA chip by pressing the re-set button on the logic board, but to no avail.
Finally, I did take the battery out and had it tested at Radio Shack. The battery is showing a good 3.6 volts.
I have a second B&W (300 MHz) that is basically doing the same thing. Do you know what could be causing the lack of video signal?
Cheers,
Thomas
PS: I tried re-setting the logic board as described in another post (unplugged machine, pressed power button, removed battery, waited 10 minutes). I have tried the CUDA reset several times, but I only press the button for a second, not 15 seconds. I have re-seated the RAM. I have removed all the RAM and tested each. Nothing seems to work.

I've got a 7 year old 30gb video ipod and the headphone port no longer works! Please help :)

I've got a 7 year old 30gb video ipod and the headphone port no longer works.
I went to the Apple shop and they said it is now vintage and they can't fix my baby they offered me 10% to trade her in for a new model...
what else can I try to save her? I've tried cleaning and wiggling and restoring. Everything looks and feels ok.

I've just found 'iPod Dock Connector Headphone Jack' on ebay it as an adapter that will connect my earphones via the wide ipod port better than 10% of something new

I'm having trouble communicating with a transducer (Keyence LS-3100 laser scan micrometer) via the serial port. It works in Hyperterminal. Any suggestions?

Its not a simple baud-rate or parity error. If I issue the command to send data (X1) in hyperterminal I start to get data. If I then switch to Labview I still get data. However if I try to issue the send-data command via Labview I get nothing (i.e. I can read from the device, but not write to it).
I am on a Windows 98 (version 2) PC, running Labview 5.1.1

Try adding a carraige return to the end of your command.

My System Preferences>Soundoutput screen does not have the "Use audio port for" field.
Does your MBP have two separate audio ports - one for line-in and one output port? Then you wan't see that selector.
but the port has started to work again....Reason???
Perhaps there was dirt or something in the jack and the contact was bad.
(or you accidentally put the plug into the line-in jack instead into the audio-out; that happened to me once ).
