Help connecting T60 to HDTV

Hello, I need help to understand what I should do to connect my laptop T60 (1951-bs7) to my Panasonic HDTV (capable to display 1024x768 resolution.
I just purchased a cable from VGA to component video (Y, Pr, Pb) but when I connect it to HDTV I don't get the video shown on TV, I tried all the resolutions (obviously after doing Fn-PF7 to also have the video signal on the VGA output) I can't get things to work other than a few green dotted lines for the lowest resolution.
Are there any drivers I should update on my graphic card to allow component to be managed appropriately through VGA ?
Last but not least, I'm waiting for the T60 advanced dock (I just ordered it), which also has a DVI output: can I expect at least this to work with a connecton DVI-HDMI ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Paolo

you could also try to see if there is an option to configure your laptop for that in Presentation Director.
Ignorance is no excuse!

How connect T60 or T61 to HDTV?

In our house we have a T60 and a T61. Would like to connect to our HDTV to play video in high def.
Please let me know the best way to do this. We are willing to buy a reasonably priced PC card or USB device to provide the necessary high-def outputs; would be nice if you could recommend a setup that works.
Thanks!

On a T30 with the mini-dock, I used the DVI output on the dock and a $16 10ft. DVI to HDMI cable:

with good results on my HDTV (but slow CPU). This is one approach that wouldn't require any special 3rd party device or device drivers, just a thought.
Another approach, at the other end of the spectrum, is something like this (but I haven't tried):

My own luck with a T41 with and a VTBook
http://www.villagetronic.com/e_products.html
didn't go well, nuisance driver issues on XP, and slow (PCMCIA limitations), but I did hear a while back that this company may be working on an expresscard version.
I also tried PCI graphics cards with the T41 in a full dock, major hassles with Nvidia and ATI cards I tried (not to mention heat).
Tried PCI Express video cards in full dock on T61p, even worse problems with Vista given some changes made to different vendor chipsets, and couldn't undock without shutdown, gave that up.
I hope this info helps!

Help w/ connecting MacBook to HDTV

I want to be able to connect my macbook (black) to my LG HDTV. I am using the DVI adapter to VGA (RGB). All I get is "no signal" on my TV. When I tried it out w/my Dell (didn't need the DVI adapter since my Dell has a VGA input), it worked right away. Anyone know why I would be getting "no signal?"
Thanks -
Jen

I used to have the same problem. I opened up the settings on my laptop while it was connected to my HDTV and under the Display menu I played around with the resolutions. Eventually one of them gave a signal to my HDTV. Hope that works.

HDMI Issue connecting laptop to HDTV

Hi Guys - I had my laptop connected to my HDTV via HDMI. I had unplugged the HDMI to take the laptop on vacation. It's been awhile since I connected it. Now when I connect the HDMI, I am getting the visual but not the audio on the tv. What am I forgetting or do I need to change a setting on the laptop (Toshiba Satellite C855 S5350)?
Thanks!

I believe that you need to go into your audio settings when the laptop is connected to the TV and change the default audio device from the built-in laptop speakers to the entry marked "HD audio" or something similar.
P.S. The cake is a lie.

Often lose wireless connection when using HDTV as monitor

I have an unusual wireless networking problem when using my Samsung HDTV in my living room as a monitor for my MacBook (when watching Internet TV shows, for example). Frequently when I switch URLs, networking freezes, even though the connection appears strong, with the Airport symbol at the top of my screen showing all bars. To re-establish the wireless connection, I have to go through the process of re-joining my network through the “Join Other Network" option. The signal holds as long as I don’t try to change it, as in selecting another URL.
I connect to my HDTV via HDMI cable, using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter from my Macbook’s video-out port. The audio connection is a mini-plug from the Mac’s headphone out jack to stereo RCA plugs associated with the TV’s HDMI port.
The wireless connection is through a Lynksys Wireless-G 2.4 Ghz, 54 Mpbs Broadband router.
I’d appreciate any solutions the Apple user community has to offer.

I'd say this has nothing to do with your display. The problem will likely lie in either your router settings, network settings or a simple signal strength issue. Try first changing the broadcast channel on your router, and make sure all settings are correct for your desired network.

I'm looking for some help connecting linksys IP Cameras to my home network to monitor my property when I'm travelling. I used to do this with linksys WAPS, but since I've discarded all my old linksys networking and standardized on airport, I can't get these things working. I know that I have to identify my camera through the DHCP table and set up port forwarding and there is the problem.
My network consists of 4 base stations set up in a roaming network - same network name and passwords. I need to do it this way so I don't have to switch network when I move from one side of the house to the other, go to the cabana, or my shop in the barn. The network works pretty well since I went to a roaming set up. Good performance, yata, yata, yata.
However, the roaming network requires the AEBS's to be set up in bridge mode, rather than sharing an ip address. When the AEBS is set to bridge mode, you don't see a DCHP table or have the ability to identify your IP Cam through the AEBS - and hence, no port forwarding.
I am able to identify and set up my Linksys IP Cam by locating the ip address on my FIOS router, even though, it's plugged into an AEBS. I set it up, see the video, remove the ethernet cable from the IP Cam, restart - and I can't get to it from an AEBS. In researching this, it appears, I should be setting up the AEBS to "share an IP Address", going to the DHCP table and identifying the camera's IP address and setting up port forwarding. However, you don't see any of the DHCP or port forwarding options in Airport Network Utility when configuring in bridge mode.
I'm hoping I'm missing something here and that the solution isn't to set it up at the FIOS router level, but I'm beginning to think that's my only hope. What concerns me there is that I should be able to see the IP cam on the network without port forwarding since I'm not coming from outside, and I can't even do this unless it's connected hard wire.
I'd appreciate any insight into this that anyone might have. I've hit the wall with what I know.
Thanks.

In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926

In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.

Connecting Mini to HDTV

I've got my Mini connected to a HDTV via a DVI to HDMI cable and it seems I can't get the display size to exactly match my TV's display size. If I enable overscan then a noticeable amount of the screen is cut off on all sides. If I disable it, then the image is too small for the screen.
If I connected via VGA then the image fits pretty closely, but there is still some overscan. Suggestions?

Is your TV a rear projection TV by any chance? RPTVs are, by design, set to overscan the image to some degree and hence are not very good when used as computer monitors. They really don't have a way displaying full screen and native.

How do I get rid of "echo" lag on my Airport express when playback when I play music on my MacMini, connected to my HDTV?

I have a MacMini connected to my HDTV; Whenever I am playing music from my MacBook Pro music library (via Homesharing through the TV) and airport express I get a one second delay on the airport speakers. Is there a way to avoid this?

Not unless your sound system has a delay setting. Some do, to compensate for TV (for example) which can be slow at processing sound.

Need help connecting to my home Wireless Network

I need help connecting my LaserJer M1212nf MFP to my home wirless network. I would like to use Apple's AirPrint, and be able to print from my iPad.
I've spent a few hours following the directions I found on the manuals through hp.com and I've had no luck. I've already unistalled and reinstalled the printer. I've also updated the firmware. If anyone can provide assistance I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

This is NOT a wireless printer (see product spec: http://www.shopping.hp.com/shopping/pdf/ce841a.pdf), you can NOT add the printer to the wireless network. This printer do support LAN connection, so if your wireless router has LAN ports, you can added it to your home network by connecting a network cable from the printer to a LAN port on the router. You need then reinstall the printer as a network printer, to use airprint.

I need help connecting my iPhone to computer

Howdy sprinklemk,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Take a look at the iPhone User Guide, it answers your question about how to connect your iPhone to your computer and provides additional information that you may find helpful.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
You may need to connect iPhone to your computer in order to complete activation. Connecting iPhone to your computer also lets you sync photos and other content to iPhone from your computer, using iTunes. See Sync with iTunes on page 18.
To use iPhone with your computer, you need:
An Internet connection for your computer (broadband is recommended)
A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, and one of the following operating systems:
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
Connect iPhone to your computer. Use the Lightning to USB Cable (iPhone 5 or later) or 30-pin the other device.
Cheers,
-Jason

Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c

Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c. I need assistance on connecting these together so I can run a report. I am not an IT person so if someone could dumb it down it would be great.
Thanks,
NBGHealth

Hello,
I assume GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c is some sort of database or data source? If you have an ODBC driver then create or use a System DSN to the database. Then you can create a report using that DSN.
Otherwise I suggest you contact the makers of GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c and ask them how to connect to the database.
Let them know CR is ANSII 92 ODBC 3 compliant.
Thank you
Don
