I have want to connect my laptop to a projector but it dosnt work, how do I do it?
Hi! In order to connect a macbook pro to a projector you will need to purchase this cable and attack it to the cable from the projector. This way you have a connector that can be plugged into your computer:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
If you already own this cable and are having problems mirroring the display from your computer on the projector screen, go to system preferences>displays and then hit arrangement tab (note: this will only appear if the projector or external monitor is attached) and then hit the checkbox that says mirror display.
If you are having other problems, please elaborate so that I can provide a better answer. -

There are a couple of other pay-for apps that do this, but they're not as good... some people have had success. -
I want to connect to a Profile database using the Sanchez JDBC Driver.
I want to connect to a Profile database using the Sanchez JDBC Driver. Is that possible? Would I need to create an extension?
You can't do it directly - only those databases listed in the help under third party databases are supported.
You may well be able to write an extension to connect to an additional database, but it seems like a lot of work. -

I am trying to activate Firefox on my Ipad. I saved the download file. When I opened it and tried to drag the icon into my application file, I got a pop-up message saying that a newer version of Firefox existed and did I want to replace it. Should I replace my Firefox 5 or is there something else I can do?
I'm afraid I'll lose my browser.* Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.
* Install the new version that you have downloaded.
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data. -
So I have a ipad min. I want to connect it to my Apple TV. There is no option on my ipad for home sharing which my Apple TV is telling me to do.
Can somebody please just explain it to me in simple terms where I can find the home sharing and what I have to do to connect my Apple TV to the ipad or vice versa.
Everything I have bought from apple in the past month has been a complete let down its taking far to long to connect things and the people who sell the products to you lie about what the product does and can do.
Can someone help me please
ThanksAirPlay isn't anything to do with homesharing. (Home sharing lets you share the iTunes libraries on computers)
Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Restart your mobile device. -
I was given this address from the Apple customer support team.
I have an active existing iTunes store account and use the same Apple ID for signing into my iTunes Connect Account that distributes Apps.
I have created some books using the iBook author and in order to distribute content on the iBookstore I have been told electronically that I need a new Apple ID and password that is different to iTunes store account which I have already activated and completed contracts, tax information and bank information valid until 2013?
I want to create a Paid Books Account using the same email address, tax information and bank information. This has been most frustrating, as I cannot get passed the sign in section and there is no contact person I can speak to. I was of the understanding the iTunes connect account and the Developer programs which I paid good money for is all what I needed to be paid for selling iBooks on the iBookstore???
I only have one email address and wish to also use it for the Paid Books Account. I have books ready to be exported and published.
I am also having trouble locating and downloading iTunes Producer. I understand I need to have the Paid Books Account active to access the iTunes Producer program. Please help.
See additional information below:
What device did you use to connect to the store? Mac computer
Which operating system is installed? Mac OS X v10.7.x
What version of iTunes is installed on your computer? iTunes 10.6
Choose the iTunes Store or App Store for your country: Other
Please select your country: AustraliaHi Lrwill,
If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
Cheers,

New iMAC - want to connect PC Laptop to Internet via iMAC Airport
Hello - I have a new IMAC and the Internet connection to the IMAC is fine but I'm having trouble establishing a wireless network.
The store told me that I could use the Airport built into the MAC as a wireless router so that my PC laptop can access the Internet as well. My PC laptop is running Windows 2000 - and I have used it with a wireless router previously.
I can see the iMAC wireless network connection in my laptop's available network; however, I'm unable to connect to it.
Also, my IMAC system properties for Airport indicate that the wireless network is unavailable.
I've not selected any security settings - unless there's some default settings that I'm not aware of.
Advice or suggestions please???The store told me that I could use the Airport built into the MAC as a wireless router so that my PC laptop can access the Internet as well.
That's correct. You will be using your Mac OS X's Internet Sharing feature to share your iMac's wired Internet connection wirelessly, using the iMac's AirPort, to your PC laptop. However, you will not be able to use wireless security, as the only option available (WEP), for Internet Sharing, will only work with other Macs.
To setup for Internet Sharing (Wired to Wireless):
Enable Software Firewall - iMac
System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
- Click Stop to start the software firewall
Setup the Network
Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] iMac > (wireless) > PC laptop
Setup Port Order - iMac
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that "AirPort" and "Built-In Ethernet" are enabled.
- Verify that "Built-In Ethernet" is at the top of the list, followed by "AirPort".
- Click "Apply Now."
Configure the Internet Connection - iMac
System Preferences > Network > Show > Built-In Ethernet > TCP/IP
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Enable Internet Sharing - iMac
System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
- Share your connection from: Built-in Ethernet
- To computers using: AirPort (checked) (Note: Uncheck all other entries in the list.)
- AirPort Options
-- Network Name: <anything you want>
-- Channel: Automatic
-- Click OK

How can I connect my laptop with window to Apple TV
Hi
I'm just wondering if I need to airplay some file from my laptop is as a Dell xps with window operation system what should I do, is it possible.
TnxWhat kind of files do you have and what error are you facing while transferring them to your iTunes Library?
As Homesharing allows you to stream contents to your Apple Tv only if you have the file available in your itunes Library and both the computer and Apple Tv is connected to the Same Network and Home Sharing with Same Apple Id. -
BTN200 loses connection to laptop if not used for a period of time.
Is there a way to turn off or increase the inactivity time out on this headset... seems it is too short of time... i keep having to power on the devices... it is fully charged as i received the item on Friday, charged it on Sunday and using it today for the first time so battery cannot be dead... please help it is annoying to keep having to hit power button to connect.
Actually, working more with the device what happens is if i move away from my laptop, the connection gets lost and then the power goes off after a while in which case i have to hit the power button for few seconds to reconnect the headphones... so my question is there a way to increase the power off timing?
well i ran some timing and the headphones will lose connection after 7mn if not within range of laptop, then shut down after 5mn... but if headphones is always near the laptop it will never lose connection so it's all good.
Device is working great i just needed to learn how it is working.... Great device!!!!! love it!!!Settings/General/Reset/Erase all Contents and Settings
Then your brother can set it up as a new iPad.
If you do this, you will lose non-iTunes-purchased music, photos, documents, saved progression of games, saved settings on other apps, etc. unless they are backed up somewhere else such as on a computer or through iCloud. After all, you are erasing all content and settings. It won't affect your iCloud stuff such as apps and music you bought through iTunes; you can re-download all that through iTunes. You can also redownload iCloud mail from the iCloud server. -
I'm fed up of my laptop and windows but am concerned about the AMAZING music library and playlists that I have on the itunes on it. Will this all be on the cloud too so that when I use my ipad, iphone and ipod that I can access it?
I'mk so used to just syncing all the time.
Cheers

Only purchases made from the iTunes Store will be available from the cloud unless you use iTunes Match -
I BUY MOVIES THROUGH ITUNES AND WANT TO WATCH THEM ON MY TV IN THE LIVING ROOM USING MY APPLE TV. IT TAKE S ALONG TIME FOR THEM TO DOWNLOAD. EVEN PREVIEWS TAKE A LONG TIME. WE HAVE AN INTERNET SPEED OF 10MBS. WHAT IS WRONG?
Depending on the type of connection you have, most likely you're sharing that connection with your neighbors and if everybody is using it all at the same time you are probably having some reduced bandwidth. Second, depending on the quality of the movie you're downloading (SD, 720p 1080i/p) it could be several gigabytes of data and that may take a long time. Ten megabits per second isn't really that fast anymore when we are moving such large amounts of data.

It downloaded and asked if I wanted to replace my current version, which I did. Then when I tried to open Firefox, it said I couldn't use this version. I guess my old version was overwritten. When I go to the Mozilla page, it doesn't say I can download anything that is compatible with my OS. Is there a way to get an older version?
Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor ('''''which you have''''') '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.5 or higher ('''''which you do NOT have''''').

Connecting iPOD classic to TV using Apple Component cable
I have a 80g ipod classic and an apple component AV cable. I am trying to connect this to an TV with component video inputs. This TV is not an HDTV. I have attached the bl gr r cables in the correct position. I am getting a scrambled picture for NTSC and a split picture for PAL. based on my location I am sure that I should be using NTSC.
I brought my iPOD into a local apple store and he was able to plug it in to an HDTV there with no problem so I'm pretty sure that niether the ipod or the cable is defective.
My question is:
Is the ipod classic only compatible with an HDTV using the component cable? If so, will it work using the composite cable?The dock is only good so you can use the remote. I don't know what the problem is with your Standard TV's with Component Inputs ... I've tried two different ones, also different brands, and they worked. I did make sure to change the iPod Video Settings to "TV Size = Standard". If it's set to Widescreen, that may account for the problem.
Otherwise, I'd suggest returning the Component cables and getting the Composite ones ... or just get the Composite ones as well. Personally, I think Apple totally screwed us all over by not just adding ONE dang Composite Video out cable to the AV Cables and allowing the Component Out to have a HD/Standard switch, much like most of the Game Console AV cables available. I don't know why they didn't do this, especially since we've got about 2 years before EVERYONE starts upgrading to HD. I guess they're just hoping to rake in some extra money by not making the Component AV Cable more capable.
