Good way for MacBook to drive a TV

I have a macbook 7.1, and I want use the mini-dvi port to drive a TV. So, I need to buy a either a mini-dvi to S-video cable or a mini-dvi to HDMI cable. My question is whether my MacBook requires a separate audio cable? Obviously, I prefer one cable.
If it supports one but not the other without a separate audio cable, which one works.

kwillard62,
This desktop has a HDMI and VGA port. If you only have VGA, you can try and find an adapter or a VGA to HDMI cable.

Good Hardrive For Macbook

does anyone know of a hardrive for the macbook maybe 100GB or 120GB? and sometihng not to expensive? and maybe a good brand for 1GB memory upgrades? thanks for the help in advance!

Any 2.5" SATA hard drive in that size range isn't going to be CHEAP...but make sure that the drive is 5400RPM to be safe, as that's what's listed for the 60 and 80 gig drives. Beyond that...can't really say, presumably all should go well if the new drive "fits the bill" in terms of specs and whatnot, but keep your original around just in case.
If all else fails I have had people say that a local apple retail store actually installed/upgraded the drive in store...so that may be another option if you want to know you're getting something that'll work.
In terms of memory, there are some manufacturer's out there that actually brand their memory as "apple memory". OCZ is one of them, and I have had a lot of people say they've had luck with Crucial SO-DIMM's. Again, as long as they're 667MHz PC2-5300 SO-DIMM modules you're more then free to give 'em a shot...but if you start to have what seem to be memory issues there's not much apple'll do to back you up.

Wrong enclosure (IDE type) for Macbook hard drive?

i got a 320 gig WD Scorpio drive and noticed it didn't look like it'd fit w/ my StarTech InfoSafe enclosure, which made we worry that my Macbook's drive wouldn't fit either b/c i read the WD drive made a good swap w/ the Macbook drive, then i noticed i got a IDE type 2.5 enclosure and i think i need a SATA type... which is what i thought i was getting, but wasn't careful enough when ordering...
is it that simple? if i get the SATA verision of the same enclosure am i good to go for using my 320 gig WD drive in it to copy from the Macbook and then later use the Macbook drive in it as a backup external?
one concern: is the size (320 gig) of the WD drive going to be an issue for working w/ a external enclosure? the manual w/ the StarTech IDE enclosure states: drive capacity support: 120 GB.....

+how can i mount this hard drive in an external enclosure?+
Check the OWC web site they offer a range of external cases for Mac drives.

URGENT. Good place for Macbook repairs?

My Macbook hard drive has failed. When I try starting it up, it doesn't go past a white screen with a "no trespassing" symbol on it. I have tried using the reinstall disks but nothing happens and the disks just get stuck. The data may or may not be recoverable.
The Genius Bar could not handle my case, so they recommended me to Tekserve.
I went to Tekserve and they told me they would try to get the desired data off and place it onto an external hard drive. However, they said that if they got everything off that I wanted, then the charge would be something over $800. Also, they asked me what specific data I wanted off (and I would ideally want everything off). Based on ratings (e.g. google map ratings - search for "tekserve nyc"), I figured that this might not be the best place to go.
So, +*for those who have needed something repaired on a Macbook, particularly regarding failed hard drives, what places would you recommend*+ (preferably describe just how successful the operation was, and around how much it cost)?
Thank you very much for your help.

Thanks for the replies.
For a wrap-up to this thread, does anyone know how data recovery works exactly?
Any number of different things. The simplest is to use heavy-duty drive recovery software. Worst-case scenario is that some drive hardware is so bad that it has to be taken apart in a clean room and the drive rebuilt.
To narrow this question down, I'm wondering specifically about two things:
(1) Why can't they just automatically get all of my data off, instead of asking me what specific data I want off?
Part of the problem would be that failed hard drives may only last so long before they completely go and/or the amount of time it takes to do this costs a lot of money/time. You could have crashed hard drive where the data can't be completely recovered. If it's in bad shape, there's a good chance that recovery efforts are destructive to the drive data in the long run. You're really looking at getting the most important stuff off the failed drive before it completely dies.
(2) How secure is my data (can I trust that they won't be opening files, or even looking at file names that may suggest important private information?)?
You could do some research on it. There's the off chance that you private information is snooped, but if it's that important to you, what choice do you have?

Is this a good way for loading and handling an xml file?

I'm new to xml files, but it seems to me that a good way to handle them may be this:
- create an xmltype table with a unique xmltype column
- load the xml file in the xmltype column of the table
- writing a procedure for scanning the whole column of the table by using the extractvalue built-in function for inserting the different nodes of the xml file (just loaded) in the final tables (to link correctly the father and son tags with foreign keys)
Does it seem to you a good way to load the nodes of a xml file in a relation database?
Thanks!

Is this the 10gR2 Express Edition you mentioned over in How to load a XML file into a table or a different version?

What is a good way for a heavy iMovie HD user to learn iMovie'09 ?

Hi Guys,
I have been using iMovie HD to edit my videos since mid 2005. I understand that Apple will, sooner or later, stop supporting iMovie HD with updates etc (it may have done so already).
I'm doing event and safety videos for the company I'm working for. I tried to edit a video in iMovie'08 and found it too different from iMovie HD and it was difficult for me to "unlearn" iMovie HD.
What would be a good way to learn iMovie '09 ?
I would appreciate any tips & pointers. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Azman

I think the best way is to jump in and make a movie. If you get frustrated about something you know you should be able to do, there is probably a way to do it and you can ask here.
Also, there are some [very good video tutorials here|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies>
I recommend you start with the iMovie 08 videos because they cover some of the basics, and Apple has not gotten around to doing some of these topics for iMovie 09. Especially watch the videos for handling audio and keywords. Then watch the iMovie 9 videos.
The biggest thing is getting used to a different metaphor. iMovie 6 uses the timeline, scotch tape and scissors metaphor, while iMovie 09 uses a storyboard, copy and paste metaphor more like a word processing program. Both metaphors work. Both do the same thing. But it can be frustrating making the switch. Good luck.

Good Stand For Macbook Air

Hey,
I'm looking for a good stand for the MBA. One not to large.
Anyone currently using any of the following (or suggest others)
Logitech Alto Connect
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/notebook_products/stands/devices/3074&cl=roeu, en
Concern, the back end it might stick out too much behind the MBA.
Plus, built in USB Hub.
Raindesigninc.com MStand
http://www.raindesigninc.com/mstand.html
Like the simplistic design, goes well with MAC setup, curious how it looks with cables.
Looking forward to your opinions helping me make a purchase decision.
Cheers!

I don't like either of these because neither of the stands can really be adjusted. My favourite stand of all time is this (which is better than any stand I have seen sold in the U.S.)
http://www.powersupportusa.com/products/ergo-mbpro.php?category=mb
This stand is made by a Japanese company. However, it may not work with the MacBook Air because of the location of the power plug. I could be wrong though. I own the stand but I don't own a MacBook Air so I can't say if it does or doesn't fit.

A good SSD for MacBook Pro Early 2008

I have a MacBook Pro Early 2008 and im looking at replacing the hd to speed. What is a good SSD for me to get?

I was looking into the same thing. If you Google "Early MacBook Pro 2008 SSD" you'll find gobs of info-- including several informative threads here and on MacRumors.

Good stand for Macbook pro 15"

I am looking for a good stand for playing live. Tired of using whatever I can muster up at each show.
Cheers

what do you mean by a stand? a keyboard stand kind of thing that goes on the floor? or a laptop stand that you can sit on a table?
I use an icurve stand on my desk for my MBP, which is perfectly fine for putting the screen at eye level. I use a wireless keyboard and wireless mighty mouse, so for all intents and purposes, my MBP pretends to be a desktop machine. but, this kind of thing might be dicey for live use cos the MBP just sits on it, in a live concert environment it could maybe fall off, depending on how hardcore the mosh pit gets and how many stage divers you encounter.
what about straps so you can hang it in front of you from your shoulders like an accordion?...
ok maybe not. but I did see another brand of laptop stand thingy other than the icurve in a store once, that was made of metal and seemed quite ok. you could probably get something like this and then get a keyboard stand and put it on top of that. or, you could use a keyboard stand and get a plank of wood or some kind of table top to put on it, so you can put your MBP and mixer and whatever else on it.

Good Deal for Macbook 2007?

A friend of mine is selling me his 2007 white macbook. I'm not too familiar with macbooks, so I wanted to get an idea if its worth $500. Here are the specs:
13 inch white macbook
intel core 2 duo
2.13 ghz
320 gb hard drive
1.5 gb ram
running os x 10.6 snow leopard
price : $500
Is this a good deal? Thank you guys so much for the help

Legally, in order to run the Mac OS on any Apple computer, the owner of the computer must also have the corresponding discs for that machine. All Apple computers come with 2 installation DVDs (except for the recent MacBook Airs, which have the OS on a USB stick) which are machine-specific and cannot be used with another Mac. The 2007 MacBook would have had Tiger or Leopard installed originally and then would have been upgraded to Snow Leopard.
If you have further questions or need more clarification, let me know!

Good projector for macbook pro?

Hi there, looking for a good projector that will work with my macbook pro, connectivty, or wireless would be great. I'm going to project my desktop onto canvas, i have vector layers to do some trace painting. so really just need hi-def still shots. But if i can get a good one that i can use in the future for video that would be nice as well, or something compatible with apple tv. just a good, small projector. thanks!

It works fine with my Macbook Pro.
Someone may want to know the video playback. It can play video smoothly and clearly.
It is wonderful that it really plugs the USB cable only for projection (no VGA cable, no mini display port cable, no charger), that is convenient for me to do my presentation.
If you are interested, you may find the details in the following:

TS3090 Is there any good way for using a network account locally on the server?

We have a bunch of macs at home. I want to be able to login to a laptop and have my account (home dir) in sync with de desktop account in a noninvasive way.
For achieving this I thought promoting one imac to be a network profile server would be a good solution.
This way we can work on any machine and sync portable home directories (phd) with our laptops.
The server should also be usable as a workstation.
One problem is: is possible to login on the server (locally) and work in a network account?
I know it is possible, but this article describes issues.
Also i am concerned about perfomance because files wil be mounted over afp rather than being on the harddisk. (one workaround would be to have a phd on the desktop, this would however not be possible on the server itsself (unless you have two copies of the home directory there))
Does anyone have any experience with a simular situation or perhaps some other helpfull insights.

Sorry, you must have edited your message. When I saw it, only the title showed .
Embedded is what you want. You can change the windows apperance (e.g. hide the scroll bars) by changing the VI properties.
Uncheck "request control" in the web publishing wizard, and it will be read only.
Works fine here in LabVIEW 7.1. I don't remember if 6.1 had any limitations.
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

Good game for MacBook?

I know its kind of a vague qustion, but is there any game for the MacBook that runs really well, is fairly new and adicting? I know I'm being too broad here, but if anyone could point me in a good direction, that would help me out a bit. Thanks!

I have been playing "Hot Potato" with mine!
HAHAHAHAHAHA sorry I couldn't resist.
WoW would be a very good game if you didn't mind the monthly subscription.

Good book for Building a Driver?

I'm looking for a book that focuses on JDBC from the point of view that will help with building a driver. How about JDBC API Tutorial and Reference, Third Edition? I would just like one that explains the API in a manner that will help understand how to implement the many methods which need to be subclassed for a Connection, Statement, and ResultSet.
Any ideas on any good books?

I have vague recollections that one of the mainstream Java book series had a title on JDBC a few years ago that sold itself as being for driver writers rather than users.
Presumably it was from either O'Reilly, or the Sun Java series from Addison Wesley, but I 've been wracking my brains but can't remember the title. Unfortunately I didn't buy it whichever it was.
Any idea what I'm talking about? Did it exist, and if so, did it not live up to its backjacket claims? It would have been JDBC 1.0 oriented if it did exist, but if it's still available (even if not in print) it might make a good starting point.
Hopefully I'm not talking complete rubbish here...
Dave.
