How can I get video out to my TV from my old G4 AGP 450mHz?

Hi all,
just wondering if anyone has any idea how to get video out from my old G4 tower? It's an AGP model (1st gen), 450mHz. All I've found so far is a link to very expensive Radeon cards, well beyond what I need, which is:
- S-video or even RCA out so I can see my computer on a TV screen
- Solution for under or around $50
That's pretty much it. I can't seem to find a VGA to S-Video adapter anywhere out there - does it exist? I don't have DVI on this machine either.
I've Googled this all over, and I saw plenty of stuff to get a Mac Mini out with a DVI adapter, but this obviously won't work (no DVI)
Any ideas?
thanks

Hmm... not a bad idea! I even checked and apparently an ATI Radeon 7000 supports video-out. Gonna see if I can get one for cheap - maybe on ebay. This will work fine with Panther or Tiger?
I've even considered buying a PC version of a Radeon card and flashing it to work with my G4, but that is very sketchy, even for me.
Will let you know how this turns out. Any other ideas are welcome

The not very expensive but also discontinued ATI
Radeon 8500 Mac Edition AGP card has VGA DVI and
S-Video out. Maybe you could try to find a used one
on the market... I bough one through other world
computing within the last year for not very much...
Just an idea.

How can I get video out from my iPhone 5?

With my iPhone 4, I was able to watch videos on the exercise machines at my gym that were equipped with 30-pin connectors. They piped the video to their display screens, and the audio to a jack for my earpods to plug into. Now that I have upgraded to an iPhone 5, there is no way to directly connect to these machines (they don't have the new "Lightning" connectors). So I bought a Lightning-to30-Pin adaptor at my Apple Store, and sadly learned that it doesn't pass through video, only audio. This is a huge step backwards for me. What is a reasonable solution for this?

Get the Lightning USB Camera Adapter:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD821ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter?fnod e=3a
and attach your iPhone to your iPad Mini as a Camera.
or use an App which can transfer the video via WiFi like Photo Transfer:

How can I get rid of calendar events initiated from my old email address?

I have a bunch of old reoccuring calendar events created using a previous email address. I now cannot delete them because "I" am not the originator of the event. The email doesn't exist anymore. I can decline all future occuring events, but it still doesn't take it off my calendar.
thanks

Scott,
NP. What I did last time and will try again is:
1) Attached the Touch to my PC and from within iTunes I select the Touch icon.
2) From the SUMMARY tab, I choose to Restore.
3) Under the INFO tab I only have "Sync contacts with OUTLOOK" and "Sync bookmarks with INTERNET EXPLORER" checked. Nothing is checked in the Calendar area.
Last time I did this it downloaded the 1.1.2 software too. I thought I already had this, but it downloaded it anyway. Regardless, the majority of the time was reloading my 13.34G of data (this is the real number, I estimated before). That took about 2+ hours. In the process, I could see that my storage usage bar did clear completely. So this process did restore all of my date. But again, how could the clock information still be there? That proves that the restore does not clear all information.
Will let you know how it goes.

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

How do i get video out to connect to aprojector

How do I get video out of my Ipod touch(4th gen) to connect to my projector. I have the correct cable and the projector work fine when connected to my laptop, mirrors the creen correctly But I cannot get an output from my Ipod.Cheers

hi
I think I have found the app, I was not seeing the obvious, so I can now play videos on the Ipod itself. With regards the cable it is a Dexim unit which plugs into the long Ipod socket on the base.From that unit there is a cable terminated with jackplugs.One end into the dexim unit another into the projector. As I said it worked fine on a 2nd generation, I just played the video on the 2G Ipod and it came thru onto the projector. Hence my thought that it was a setting and/or app on the 4thG Ipod.
Again many thanks for all your help, at least it is improving my knowledge of Ipod
Cheers
PS started with the ipod download guide but the problem isnt addressed hence my plea on this forum.
PPS I've emailed Dexim to see if just in case the unit I have isn't compatible with 4thg Ipod for some reason

Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media. You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else. As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC. Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
Here is what I have tried...
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.

Hold down the mouse button when shutting down, If that doesn't work, try holding the Mac sideways and shaking gently, then if you see the edge of the disc, use tweezers to pull it out.

Go to the Music section of your Library (very top-left corner) and see if your songs are there. The "Purchased" playlist may have been deleted or gotten corrupted, but if that happens it's not a big deal because your music should still be in your main Music Library.
If your music is NOT in the Music section of your Library, then go to the iTunes Store homepage and find the Quick Links list on the right side. At the top of that list, click Purchased and you can redownload all of your previous content that you might have lost.
