How can I tell if my Mini DisplayPort outputs sound?
I bought my MacBook Pro 5,5 in 2010 but I don't remember when exactly. I can't find anything about the Mini DisplayPort info in System Profiler.

If you have a mini display port on your mac than it does support audio out but you have to use an hdmi cable as mini display port to dvi and all other besides HDMI don't carry the audio signal through. Just make sure you are using HDMI and it will work out.
That is only true of MBPs produced since April 2010: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241

If it's a post 2009 Mac it supports audio on the HDMI port. See:

Hi
How can I hook up my DVI Adapter onto my new MacBookAir if the machine does not have a mini port (but only 2 USBs and 1 Thunderbolt)?
Is there a DVI adaptor already for Thunderbolt?
Thanks,
JFRThe Mini Display port and Thunderbolt port use compatible connector bodies. Your current Mini Display to DVI or VGA adapter will still work as before on the newer Thunderbolt capable machines.

My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more. Was working while watching a movie but when I pulled it out from the computer and put it back in the system would no longer mirrorr the screen on the TV.
The best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be for FREE!

How can I tell if replacement LCD is "good"?
Hi everyone
I bought a used 20" Intel iMac that supposedly only needed a hard drive and a new LCD panel in order to work. The hard drive was easily installed. I ordered a replacement panel off eBay and installed it, but I'm seeing a grey screen with lots of tiny black rectangles on it. I figured that maybe there's a problem with the video card, so I scrounged up a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter, and connected an external monitor. However, nothing ever displays on that external monitor. If there is truly a problem with the video card (the logic board?), I'm going to stop buying parts and sell the carcass....
Anyway, how can I tell if the replacement LCD is good? Does the weird pattern I'm seeing on the display indicate a problem with the panel or with the video card? And shouldnt the iMac automatically output to the external display when I connect it via the adapter?
Thanks!Hello, does it sound like it's booting up at all?
If we could get it to boot, we could take a screen grab & that would tell us, if the screen capture was indentical to wahat you're seeing then it'd be the graphic card, since it captures it from the card/VRAM, not the screen actually.
As far as the adapter I think you have to have it at least booted up part way for a second monitor to even light up, not positive though. -

To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

How Can I Tell if My iPad Air Replacement is New or Refurbished
I'm getting a replacement iPad Air because mine had a problem with it, there were loose magnets in it. I've heard that people have another person's data on apps they have just downloaded and that makes me really uncomfortable.
How can I tell if my replacement is brand new or just refurbished? Is there info in the serial/model number?
Thanks.You might hear a lot of things on the Internet but that doesn't make them true.
If you got a refurbished iPad from Apple it would be completely empty.
Refurbished iPads are identified on the packaging.
You can see the model number in Settings > Genera l> About > Model. The model number has a two-letter code, a number and some more letters. The last part stands for the country/region. The first letter can be "F" (refurbished), "M" (normal retail), or "P" (personalized / engraved). -
How can i tell if my iphone 4 has been hacked into?
Here is the situation.....a friend of mine is in a bad marriage. She found out her husband bugged her laptop and her phone and is finding out all of her conversations. The other day, we were all at a buffet restaurant and he was sitting at the table with us, without thinking anything of it, I left my purse with my phone at the table while all but him went up to the bar. Later on that night, I was in the car with another friend and we were talking in detail about our friends situation. The next day my friend whom I was talking to in the car, checked her answering machine, and our conversation was on her machine. I checked my call log AND detailed billing from AT&T thinking I may have butt dialed her house, but there is no record of me calling her house. The same with her, she as no record of calling her house and her home phone does not have caller ID. This guy is very tech savy and is the manager of 4 AT&T stores. Is it possible for him to have hacked into my phone and put some sort of bug in it? If this is possible, is it also possible for my phone to be able to record our conversation without a call being placed? If it is possible, how can I tell if my phone has been hacked?
ThanksIt would be extremely difficult for someone to be able to grab your iPhone out of your purse and hack into it without having a laptop computer with him with which to jailbreak the iPhone and time to work on it. I can't say it would be impossible, though. I'd suggest as a precaution you perform a Restore on your iPhone; if it restores successfully that would clear any jailbreak and remove any hack.

How can I tell which machines need a given patch?
So when I run WSUS and view the Updates Report I can type in the specific patch I'm working on (MS14-066) and it tells XX computers have it, YY computers need it, etc.
How can I tell which are the YY computers that need the patch so I can go fix them up? Is there an easy way to do that?
Thanks.How can I tell which are the YY computers that need the patch so I can go fix them up?
Run the Detailed View version of the report. There will be one (or more) pages for each update. The detailed pages list each computer, the approval status, and installation state.
However, the conventional way to address this question is to create target groups based on some classification of how you would approve updates (e.g. Desktops, Win2008R2, .NET4) and approve the updates for the *groups* of computers that should install the
updates.

How can I tell if programs are running in the background.
iPod touch version 4.2.1, how can I tell if programs are running in the background. Battery is dead quickly and time/date reverts to Dec 31, 1969. can see thin silver frame around screen like something is running in background.
You really can't tell unless you hear music or similar. Many are always listening for notifications and other things.
To preserve battery life see the following:

My ipad does not have the amount of GB on the back and in the settings it says 56gb! Also there is no setting called regulatory. It is an ipad 4 retina w wifi that i got as a Christmas present. Could it be a fake? How can i tell?
The amount of storage that is shown on the box and in Settings are calculated differently - the package uses 1 billion bytes as a gig (i.e. decimal), whereas in Settings it's shown as the binary definition : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2419
Also some space has been used for iOS, the built-in app and some space is lost due to formatting.
