How can I use a 5.1 speaker system? Logitech X-540 5.1

I am looking into buying this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-X-540-Multimedia-Speaker-System/dp/B000LBHFMO
Although, I am aware there aren't enough ports in order for it to work on my laptop.
How do I go about getting these ports externally? I mean like, an external sound card? Does such a thing exist?
Thank you

I imagine there is, but I can't recommend one. It will need an optical audio input through which to receive a 5.1 digital signal from the MBP's headphone port, and a digital-to-analog converter to provide the analog signal that the speakers evidently require.
I wasn't able to find specs for the speakers to see how many channels of input they expect.

    I am not positive what you did is going to work, but it seems like you did the equivalent of imaging a small disk on a bigger disk. In that case, the first thing to do is update the partition table with fdisk. Start with fdisk -l in the vm for general information about the disk. Hopefully, the additional space will show. Then, work with fdisk to use the extra space. The easiest is to add a partition, then a file system on it. It is also possible to expand the last partition (you might have to delete it first), then expand what is on it (may be RAID, LVM, or the file system), layer by layer. As usual with fdisk, you run the risk of thrashing it all, so you may want to practice on a copy first. Obviously, the extra space can only be added to the last partition of the small disk.
    If the situation is more complex, you may have to boot a VM with both the small disk and the big disk at the same time. If you boot the VM off of an iso DVD image, you can then shell out, then run fdisk to partition the big disk the way you want, then use dd to copy the partitions you want in the order you want from the small disk. I am pretty sure not all combinations will work, but you get the idea. You can then take the small disk out, and boot off of the big disk.
    Come to think of it, you might just be better off with adding more space as a second virtual disk. You would then be free to partition/format it the way you want without messing with the first disk. Linux is so good with disk management, so many options.
    As a general statement, though, I like to put some distance between the high level file systems and the low level disk partitions, so I use LVM (Logical Volume Manager).
    Best of luck, keep us posted.

  • How can I use Servlets on Sun Java System WebServer 6.1

    Hi
    This is Khurram,
    I have just downloaded, and installed "Sun One Java System Web Server 6.1" on WindowsXP. This is installed and working properly on my system. But I want to use Servlet technology on this server, even I did download it just for working on servlets. Before it, I was using typical JavaWebServer2.0 for this purpose.
    Any ways.
    Can any one tell me, how can I do this on "Java System Web Server 6.1".
    Thanks
    any help will be appriciated
    regards
    Khurram

    Thanks for your such action.
    Actually I have installed it since 2 days, and have read throughly the documentation of WebServer, But Only the Link for this purpose is provided "Programmer's Guide to Web Applications", Now I have just searched for it and found only "Programmer's Guide" .PDF format. I have just read it out now, But here also provided a small refference to see "Programmer's Guide to Web Applications". Now I have just the problem that where to find it.
    Please, tell me if you have some solution to my problem
    or atleast tell me where to find the refference "Programmer's Guide to Web Applications". I tried but only found "Programmer's Guide" for Sun Web Server 6.1.
    Thanks any way to give some time.

  • HT4145 How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? I get a message saying it cannot be extended. Thank you. Arup

    How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? As we live in a rural area and our landline broadband speeds are awful, I have moved on to a 3G provider in the UK (EE/Orange) and set up the wireless modem which is working very well with an iMac. I have an Airport Extreme base station which was previously connected with an Ethernet cable to the landline router, and two Airport Express stations as Range Extenders. I would now like to use the Airport Extreme and the two Express stations to extend the range of the Alcatel WiFi device. I have tried automatic and manual set up with the Airport Utility but at the crucial step for selecting a network to extend, although the WiFi device is recognised, I get a message saying it cannot be extended.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.
    Arup

    This is a problem with a lot of cheap end wifi hotspot like devices.. sometimes you can just swap the sim out to a real 3G wireless router.. that is a better approach IMHO than wireless repeater ever will be.
    In the meantime..
    Have a go with the suggestion.. place the express as wireless bridge. With a computer connected to the wifi from alcatel unit.. (I am amazed Alcatel still are in domestic market.. I thought they sold out). Set the express to join the wifi.. you do this in the airport utility.. old one is easy.. but in v6 you have to trust to luck so to speak and hope the auto setup works.. tell us if you have trouble.
    With the Express bridging.. you can then plug it by ethernet into the TC.. which will be in router bridge..
    ie
    You can then run the connection from wireless or ethernet on the TC.. and it will relay back to the alcatel for internet.. all a bit dodgy but who knows.. it may give you what you need.
    Wireless repeater is never particularly reliable in my experience. I would avoid it if possible.

  • HT5953 How can I speed up the "start speaking" feature in iBooks? (System Preferences Dictation and speech does not do anything to the speech speed.) The rate is a bit to slow.

    How can I speed up the "start speaking" feature in iBooks? (System Preferences Dictation and speech does not do anything to the speech speed.) The rate is a bit to slow.

    Hi, I had the same problem you described, and I noticed that there are two ways of activating text to speech on iBook for Mac, with different speed results (at least on my MacBook Pro Retina display)
    On your iBook you can select the text and and then click on > More> Start speaking,  and you will get a certain speed, which tends to be too slow.
    But you will get the speed you had selected with "Go to System Preferences>Dictation and Speech>Text to speech. In there is a slider to adjust the speaking rate." if you use the TOP MENU (next to the black apple)  under Edit>Speech>Start Speaking. I also learned that under System Preferences>Dictation and Speech>Text to speech, there is an option for a shortcut which is very helpful. And you can change Key. Hope this was helpful.

  • How can I use my software CD to fix operational system's problems?

    the cd that came with the MacBook, how can I use it to fix problems with the OS, but not deleting the files that I have ?

    You can boot up off of the CD and run Disk Repair including Repair Permissions or Verify Disk. Other than that, there aren't many choices From Apple for "fixing problems" from the CD as such.. unless you call reinstalling the OS "fixing problems".
    Alternatively, if Safari is slow you can "reset Safari" from the Safari pull-down menu.
    You can also download the 10.6.8 Snow Leopard Combo upgrade and reistall that from your desktop.
    You can also let you rmachine run over night and let the S/L utilities run automatically at night.. no intervention on your part.
    Genreally speaking there isn't really that much a user can actively do to "fix things".. however, suggest you keep all the software on your machine current. You can go to support and see all the 10.6.8 software updats availale. Be careful nto to download the "server" software for 10.6.8 though.
    Niel gave a great suggestin... always back-up your user files.

  • How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

    How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

    how can i use my account without the billing info, as i do not have a credit card. and my shipping and billing info is under US. i'm in singapore. how do i change this?

    If you are just visiting Singapore, then leave the account as it is. If you have moved there, then view your account using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC and change the country/region to your current location and address. If you do not have a bank card, you can fund your account using iTunes gift cards if available in Singapore.

  • How can i use microsoft word on ipad 2

    how can i use the microsoft application on my ipad 2?

    The Pages app is also compatible with MS Word. Unlike some of the others mentioned, the document is actually stored on the iPad as opposed to 'the clouds'. Again, most of those mentioned are cut down versions of MS Word.
    Stand back and look at this constructively; do you need to regularly access to the document from more than one computer/device without the need to keep amending your document on your computer and sending it to your iPad? If so, Documente to Go etc may be the best choice.

  • How can I use the credit on my account instead of credit card to buy apps?

    I have a gift card credit on my account but when I want to buy an app it takes me to my credit card details. How can I use my credit on my account instead of credit card?

    You shouldn't have to put in a credit card, no, but from time to time the iTunes Store seems for some reason to try to insist on one. If just confirming your mailing address doesn't stop it from complaining, go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • How can i use one SQL statement to solve problem?

    How can i use one SQL statement to solve the question below?
    For a Table named A, there is a column named F(char type).
    Now select all the records where F like '%00' and update their F value to '%01'
    Just one SQL statement.Do not use PL/SQL block.
    How to do that?
    Thanks.

    What is the data volume for this table?
    Do you expect lots of rows to have '%00' as their value?
    Following two statements come to mind. Other experts would be able to provide better alternatives:
    If you have index on SUBSTR(f, 2):
    UPDATE A
    SET    f = SUBSTR(f,
                      1,
                      length(f) - 2) || '01'
    WHERE  substr(f,
                  -2) = '00';If most of the rows have pattern '%00':
    UPDATE A
    SET    f = SUBSTR(f,
                      1,
                      length(f) - 2) ||
               DECODE(SUBSTR(f,
                             -2),
                      '00',
                      '01',
                      SUBSTR(f,
                             -2));
