G4 mdd display on a tv on the cheap

Hi,
I have a g4 mdd with the default radeon 9000 pro. Since the dvi-->s-video/component doesn't seem to work, what's the cheapest way to get this mac to display on a tv screen (using either s-video or component plugs)? I really would rather not have to spend 150-200$ on the radeon 9800, because i just don't need that graphics power. Is there some other route I can go?
Thanks for your help!

You could use a VGA to Video Adapter, such as

  • Unable to display data no entry in the table without using Model clause

    Hi,
    I've an urgent requirement described below :
    The previously posted Question has been answerted using Model Clause:
    Is there any way out to solve it without using Model clause:
    I've a table named as "sale" consisting of three columns : empno, sale_amt and sale_date.
    (Please ref. The table script with data as given below)
    Now if I execute the query :
    "select trunc(sale_date) sale_date, sum(sale_amt) total_sale from sale group by trunc(sale_date) order by 1"
    then it displays the data for the dates of which there is an entry in that table. But it does not display data for the
    date of which there is no entry in that table.
    If you run the Table script with data in your schema, then u'll see that there is no entry for 28th. Nov. 2009 in
    sale table. Now the above query displays data for rest of the dates as its are in sale table except for 28th. Nov. 2009.
    But I need its presence in the query output with a value of "sale_date" as "28th. Nov. 2009" and that of "total_sale" as
    "0".
    Is there any means to get the result as I require?
    Please help ASAP.
    Thanks in advance.

  • I've got a MacBook pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work running Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing.

    I've got a MacBook Pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work using Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing. I also tried a Mini Display to VGA lead and that wasn't much better. I tried all variations of resolutions in System prefs - Displays but nothing helped. Am I getting something wrong? Thanks all.

    In addition to pixel density, you are up against the translation driver card in the TV.
    If you read the fine print of computer-resolution-capability in the TV user guide, you will see a chart as tall as the manual page.  At the top is the smallest resolution capable, at the bottom is the full use of the 1080p in the TV.
    Mac falls into the top 25% of the page, maxing out at 1366x768 often.  This is because the TV control card is expected to do too much of the work, but is not designed for computer-monitor processing.
    I looked at the resolution charts on 2 TVs before deciding to buy a 1080p LCD monitor that has a TV interface/connector.  Computer monitor first, TV second.  But the thing is only 27 in.  Good thing TV is not as important to me as it is to others.

    The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. VGA displays that use higher refresh rates (such as 85 Hz) at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or greater may not generate video properly until you lower the refresh rate.

    How can I detect displays?
    If the detect displays option is not available, hold down the Option key while you are in the Display pane.
    How do I select additional resolutions on my display?
    You can use the Display pane of System Preferences to specify how your display works. Not all options appear for all display models. By default the best resolution for your display will already be selected in System Preferences.
    To select a different resolution, use the Scaled option. Some additional resolutions may be available when you hold the Option button.

  • I am going to buy myself a MacBook Pro in the near future and was wondering if the new Retina Display model would be worth the extra cash. I will mostly be doing photo/video/music editing.

    I am going to buy myself a MacBook Pro in the near future and was wondering if the new Retina Display model would be worth the extra cash. I will mostly be doing photo/video/music editing.

    if you're not in a big rush - why not hold off until Adobe and Microsoft releases an update to support the Retina Screen.
    Don't get me wrong - the Macbook Retina is a good and videos look great - but when it comes to Photoshop, it's a little blurry and the fonts in Excel and Word is pretty blurry too.....I own one....
    In any event, if it's something you can live with - then by all means - go for it.....
    Otherwise - get the non Retina Macbook Pro - it's cheaper, and it's user upgradeable in both RAM and Hard Drive.
    Good luck.

  • Report not displaying data from one of the infoproviders

    Hi Experts,
    Issue: Report not displaying data from one of the infoproviders
    I have a report 'ReportA' which has multiprovider MP1 as the source.
    MP1 has two Infocubes IC1, IC2 in its design.
    Now, when i execute the report, data from IC1 is displayed. But no data from IC2 is displayed.
    Is there a setting i need to enable in MP1 ? or is there anything else that needs to be enabled ?
    Please reply.
    Regards,
    Suraj S Nair

    Hi All,
    When i display data directly from the multi provider, without any restrictions, i cannot view the data from infocube IC2.
    I feel its not an issue with the Query. It must be a problem with the setting in the Multiprovider MP1.
    Infocube IC2 is a copy of Infocube IC1. Multiprovider MP1 first only had IC1 in its design. It was recently IC2 was also included.
    I checked the Characteristics, all of them are assigned corectly.
    Now, this issue sure has something to do wiht the setting of Multiprovider or please correct me if wrong.
    Regards,

    Hi Jim Ji
    The report can be displayed from the java infoview, no doubt, so the report itself works.
    But the report cannot be seen from the "SAP Infoview" (:/businessobjects/enterprise115/sap) which is the infoview, I reference from the Folder iView (through the system in the SAP portal). And since the SAP Portal Integration Kit seems very old - the Folder iView was created 12-08-2004 by Ingo Hilgefort - there might be an old version of the jar-files somewhere in the installation.
    I guess I should check the version of the jar-files in WEB-INF/lib of our web application (Tomcat) folder, and see if they have been overwritten by the SAP Portal Integration Installation or are an older version of the files in Program FilesBusiness Objectscommon3.5javalib? And also check if somewhere in the .../sap installation there are some old jar-files?
    Kind regards,
    Martin Søgaard

  • How does iCal, or Calendar, order the display of multiple events for the same time?

    I can't for the life of me figure out how iCal orders the display of multiple items at the same time.  Does anyone have a clue?  It's not alphabetical.  It's not according the the order of the calendars in the left pane.  Is it just random?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    In the focus lost eventhandling start a thread which does
    the actual handling.
    the new thread waits for a little time (0.1 seconds)
    the click event of the button checks for a thread like the one above and tells it not to execute
    This way you execute the for the lost focus event only if
    the ok button isn't clicked in the same process ... not
    realy good, because it kind of relies on the ordering of threads ... but maybe it still works for you?

  • How do I get the Adobe toolbar to display above a pdf in the web browser?

    Hi guys,
    I'm just having trouble with locating the grey toolbar, it's not displaying when I open a .pdf in a web browser.
    I can open the .pdf fine, (within Safari), and usually (on my old computer) there was a grey toolbar above the .pdf & there's a print icon on it - that's what I'm looking for, so that I can print my lecture notes straight away.
    The toolbar won't display on the web browser above the .pdf, but if I save the .pdf & open it with Adobe Reader, then the toolbar displays there with all of the icons etc.
    So I was wanting to know if instead of saving them every time, if there's an option to get the toolbar displaying above .pdfs in Safari?
    Has anyone else encountered this problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately, iOS does not provide a way to install "plugins" to Safari so there is no possible way the Reader can do this. You can use the "open in" functionality to launch Reader from Safari.

  • Is there a way to view video via the display AND TV out at the same time?

    Is there a way to display the video output for supported apps on the display as well as through the TV out at the same time? To explain my setup briefly, I'd like to have the front seat passenger in my vehicle be able to hold the iPad and watch video while the A/V cable runs through the car system and displays on the ceiling mounted TV for the back passengers.
    As of right now, it seems as though it will only allow for one display at a time, and in this case, only showing video through the TV out. I don't know if the iPad has the processing power to mirror outputs to the display and the TV out at the same time, though I imagine that it should.
    So, does anyone have any ideas on how to make this possible, if it's possible at all?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Is there a way to display multiple iPad screens on the same television screen simultaneously?

    Is there a way to display multiple iPad screens on the same television set concurrently?  The idea is to let multiple individuals do something on their iPads in a timed window and then display the results of each iPad users answer concurrently on te same television.

    Devices that display two, four, or even eight video signals on a single monitor are available in the video security market. Maybe you could find something there that would do what you want. A quick search on "security tv screen multiplexor" (without the quotes) yielded millions of pages; several on the first page looked promising if you don't mind composite video.

Maybe you are looking for
