Help! TV Connection.

Hi, hope somebody can help me.
For the past four years i've been using a 12inch G4 Powerbook and for the last two years i've been connecting it to my TV to watch films etc via this cable - http://store.apple.com/uk/product/T4503ZM/A - with zero problems at all, plugs straight into the s-video and audio ports, change channel to av and bob is officially you uncle.
However, i've now upgraded to a spanking new 13.3" MacBook and was wondering if there is an easy way to connect it to my TV, much like my previous method? or do I, as i've read on a few different websites etc need about 3 different cables? I got very confused whilst researching - Composite, HDMI etc etc and couldn't really make any sense of it all, specially as one site was saying about 1080 HD resolution which like i said is not required its just a standard TV.
Hope somebody can clear this up for me and thanks in advance
Rich

If it were me I would simplify my video connection somewhat by using this adapter instead of the hookup you have now...might clear up the signal..

As to the audio you will need to connect the TV to the MacBook's headphone port with a separate cable for the audio

    Can anyone help me connect my Macbook Air to a SAMSUNG TV.  When I follow the basic instructions (Thunderbolt to HDMI connection) the screen on my computer goes grey and an error message appears inviting me to press any button to restart the Macbook.  When I do this nothing happens.  Only when I disconnect the computer from the TV does the Macbook allow me to login. The TV does not receive any signal from the Macbook even though I know the HDI port works fine.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?  Do I need to enable something on the Macbook?

    An update...
    I downloaded Apple's (rather large!) list of software updates today, and I was finally able to recognize my iPod again. I did a restore using the iPod updater from 06-2006, and all seemed to work OK. (I'm afraid to try the new one again!)
    Then I tried to re-load my music library from iTunes, and got stuck. It froze up after a while and wouldn't go any further.
    When I disconnected my iPod from my computer, I find 2 podcasts and nothing else, though iTunes told me it had transferred 600+ songs. Those 2 podcasts do play fine, and the basic iPod software all seems to be intact.
    So -- anyone get through this connection problem and have any ideas to share??

  • TS1398 I need help getting connected to our home wifi.

    I need help getting connected to our home wifi. I've reset network settings, iPhone, and router  but the error "unable to join network" keeps coming up. I also double checked the password. Please help

    Other possibilities:
    Your router firmware is out of date. Check the manufacturer's website for an update
    You have MAC (Media Access Control) filtering enabled on the router, that restricts access to "known" devices and the new iPhone is not on the table of known devices
    Your router has a setting limiting the number of simultaneous allowed devices
    Your routers SSID ("name") is still the default (e.g., LINKSYS, DLINK, NETGEAR, etc). Your phone has encountered other routers with the same name as you have traveled, and the phone is confused as to which router is the real one. If your router's name is still the default you should change it.

    Dear Brian:
    Create a Play List in iTunes.
    Control-Click and open "Export" in the highlighted Playlist in iTunes.
    With "Export" opened:
    1. Click on "Format" and choose "M3U";
    2. In "Save As" name your "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u"; and
    3. In "Where" tell the program where to send your "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u".
    You are done creating the Playlist.m3u in iTunes.
    Open "Subsonic Web Page".
    Left hand column open "Import playlist".
    In "Import playlist" click "Choose File" and open the "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u"; you created in iTunes.
    The "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u" should now occupy the space between "Choose File" and "OK".
    Click "OK".
    The file should now be in the "Playlist" on the left.

    Help mein connecting iphone to my pc

    Hey Hvdrhee,
    This is most likely caused by old software or drivers on your PC. Does your PC have Logitech QuickCam/Webcam, Lexmark scanners, or a media card reader software or installed?
    Try uninstalling the software and/or updating it.

    Hi,
    When you use something like "CONNECT BY LEVEL <= x", then at least one of the following must be true:
    (a) the table has no more than 1 row
    (b) there are other conditions in the CONNECT BY clause, or
    (c) you know what you are doing.
    To help see why, run this query
    SELECT     SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH (dname, '/')     AS path
    ,     LEVEL
    FROM     scott.dept
    CONNECT BY     LEVEL <= 3
    ;and study the results:
    PATH                                     LEVEL

  • Looking for help on connecting Airport Express to Belkin F5D7230-4

    I have been reading post after post with a similar problem with help. From other post, it sounds like this Belkin router will work with Airport Express(AE), but I have not found help on how to make it work.
    Here is the problem.
    I need to extend my internet signal from my office to my living room. The Belkin router is connected to my cable modem in my office. The Express is in my kitchen (between the two rooms). I set it up for expanding the signal and the light on the AE continues to flash yellow. I have called Apple and they were able to help me set it up, but it only works for AirTunes (and I am guessing anything plugged into the USB port), but NOT for internet.
    Here are some of the things I have tried.
    ~~ I have connected the AE to the cable modem to check that is does work, and it does.
    ~~ I have moved the device closer to the router and still not working.
    ~~ I have made sure the Belkin settings are set for WDS, which it always was. I have reset the router and the AE.
    What am I missing? Do I need an updated firmware? I have read on another post about a D-Link that needed DHCP and NAT disabled, but I don't understand how to do that and on which device? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the article. I have read that before.
    The WDS was already enabled on my router so that did not help. There is something else missing somewhere on these steps that I am not understanding.
    I assume that the AP direction is meant if I plan to use the Belkin router as an AP not the main router? Where in this case the AP is actually my Express, and my express does not have a similar interface to change things to the settings mentioned.

  • CS5.5 need help with connecting to wsdl

    Hello,
    I'm new to Dreamweaver CS5.5 and i'm looking for a simple way to connect to a CFC wsdl web service.
    Basically need to pass 1 parameter to the webservice and have it return a string result from our database.
    Is this possible to do from dreamweaver, using javascript ?
    thanks.

    Those crosshairs are controllers for an effect. The first thing to do is to start turning off layers (eyeball) until you find the layer with the crosshairs. Once you've isolated the layer make sure that it's not a pre-comp, press F3 to reveal the ECW, and check the effects. If you can't turn the effects on and off then or access any of the settings the layer is locked. What would really help here is a screenshot. I can't tell much from the photo because I can't see what's under the hood.

  • Help needed connecting Iomega Minimax Ext HDD to Airport Extreme 802.11n

    Would appreciate if someone can help me with the following task. After researching and trying several things, I have not succeed in resolving the issue.
    I want to connect a Iomega MiniMax Ext HDD (for Mac) to my (Airport Extreme 802.11n + Time Capsule) box using the USB port at the back of my Airport Extreme. Then I want to access the Ext HDD wirelessly as a drive on my Macbook (snow leopard OS). I was told this was possible at the Apple Store...but have failed so far.
    Any suggestions so far

    Hello smitra. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The following are the basic steps for sharing an external USB drive attached to either an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) or a Time Capsule (TC):
    o Plug the hard disk into the USB port on the back of the base station.
    o Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Mac, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows
    o Select your base station, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click Disks in the toolbar, and then, click File Sharing.
    o Choose “With a disk password,” or “With base station password” if you want to secure the shared disk with a password, or choose “With accounts” if you want to secure the disk using accounts. If you choose to use accounts, click Configure Accounts, click the Add "+" button, and then enter a name and password for each user that will access the disk. For simplicity, I would recommend using the "With a disk password" option.
    o Choose “Not allowed,” “Read only,” or “Read and write” to assign guest access to the disk.
    o Select the “Share disks over Ethernet WAN port” checkbox if you want to provide remote access to the disk over the WAN port.
    You should now be able to find this drive within Finder under the SHARED category.
