How do I convert my laptop into a desk top? What cables do I need.

I have a 13" macbook  and want to convert it to a desktop on occasion. In addition to a monitor and a keyboard, what cable(s) do I need.

You need:
Macbook to monitor - you will need an adapter. Monitors usually ship with at least one cable.
Keyboard - can be wireless or connected via USB. If the latter it comes with the cable.
Mouse - as above.
The real tricky part is the monitor. Typically a monitor will come with one or more cables. For example, look at #29 in this description: http://www.i-inc-usa.com/Product/ih202hpb.htm. In this case you will need an adapter to connect a VGA cable to the port on the Macbook.
Therefore you need to know the port on the Macbook, the cable(s) that come with the monitor. That will tell you the adapter you need.

  • How can i convert 3d movie into 2d to watch it in mac

    i have a movie with mkv file playable on vlc how can i convert the movie into 2d

    There are now a bunch of them out there. Do a Google search for "mac 3D conversion" They tend to be around $35. I have been using iSkysoft products, which have been fairly easy to use. They have a "iMedia Converter Deluxe for Mac" that besides the 3D to 2D conversion, will also convert video to 70+ formats, has a 1-Click Video Downloader, and a single click Rip DVD and Burn to DVDs feature. Also claims to be "Ultrafast" all for the same price others apps are that only do the conversion.

  • How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?

    How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

    Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.

    how do i convert a pdf into a word file, i have tried doing save as?

    Hi Jack,
    What version of Acrobat are you using?
    You might need to go to File> Save As Other> Microsoft Word or choose 'Adobe PDF printer' from the File menu.
    Is save as option not functioning correctly? Do you get any specific error?
    Please let me know.

    How do I convert à PDF file into my dairy?

    If I understand whatnyounare asking (and not sure I do), you may have a difficult time accomplishing that. Calendar app doesn't store documents and I don 't know of an app that will extract text from a PDF and place it in a calendar entry automatically. Check the app store - I could be wrong - but you will have to handle that manually.
    Many apps that read PDF will allow you to copy text, including GoodReader mentioned above.

  • How can I convert a layer into a smart object with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10?

    How can I convert a layer into a smart object with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10?

    That feature is only in PS. Elements as you buy it has only limited support for smart objects. If you use File>Place to add something to your image it will come in as a smart object (within the limits to which PSE understands smart layers). However, if you know someone who can write an action for you in PS you can install it in PSE, or you could look into something like elements+ from simplephotoshop.com.

  • How can I convert page points into document points??

    Hello,
    How can I convert page points into document points? any API?
    I have found 2 APIs
    AIDocumentViewSuite::ArtworkPointToViewPoint( ) and
    AIDocumentViewSuite::ViewPointToArtworkPoint( )
    but I dont know what is view point and art work point.
    I think artwork point = page points and view points = document points. am I correct ???

    What do you mean by 'document points'? Do you mean document units? Like centimeters or inches? If that, there's no API to do (well, kind of in AIUser.h, but that gives you back a string with a unit suffix). Frankly, its pretty easy to just figure out the conversion values for each type of ruler unit -- there are only five or so you need -- and then write a dinky function that takes a value in one or the other, looks up the current document unit and uses that to convert the value (one function for each way). You just need to figure out everything in terms of points (since pixels == points) -- in that regard, it probably helps to know that 72 pt == 1 inch. From that you can figure out pointer-per-inch|centimeter|millimeter|pica.

  • How can i convert my song into .mr4 for making it my ringtone, just renaming it is not working?

    how can i convert my song into .mr4 for making it my ringtone, just renaming it is not working?

    Here's how:
    If you are using Windows, make sure you are able to view the file extension.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219
    1. Select a title (.mp3 or .m4a) in your iTunes Music Library
    2. Do File > Get Info on selected title (Windows do Edit > Get Info)
    3. In the dialog choose Options tab
    4. Set Start Time and End Time (no more than 35 secs otherwise won't work)
    5. Close dialog.
    6. Now control click the title (right click) and choose Create AAC Version
    Note: If you don't have Create AAC version, switch in menu File > Preferences...(Windows do Edit > Preferences...) > General > Import Settings... > Import Using: AAC Encoder.
    7. When it is done, drag the newly create title to the desktop.
    8. Delete the newly create title in iTunes. <-- This step is important
    9. Rename the title on your desktop from ringtone.m4a to ringtone.m4r
    10. Drag and drop it into iTunes
    Now you have a ringtone.
    Make sure it is selected in iTunes > Tones for syncing with your new iPhone.

  • How do you convert a quotation into a purchase requisition?

    How do you convert a quotation into a purcahse requisition?

    Hi Ganesh
    But from ME51N in shows selection varaint it show RFQ for creation of Requisition but when you drop the RFQ to header for creation , it is not working..
    Chek again.
    Kishor
    Hi Christopher
    See Purchase requisition creation can happen without vendor and price details as well.
    so once you have finalised your vendor and price ,you can put the vendor and price details  in PR and then PR can go further for approval...there will be some manual work ,,but I do not think any more option available.
    hope its logical,.

  • How do I convert a .gif into a looping Quicktime .mov? I have Quicktime Pro

    I want to know how do I convert a .gif into a looping .mov? is this even possible?
    Thank you in advance for your reply to my Post,
    Sebastian

    Yes and no.
    It was easy to assign a "transparency" color in previous versions of QuickTime Pro. Just open the "Color Wheel", pick your color and QuickTime Pro would use it to mask your .gif file.
    In version 7 you only get to use a "mask" (useless on a motion graphic like an animated gif) or pick either a "level" of opacity (also shows the background).
    Open the Movie Properties window (Pro only) and highlight the video track.
    Click the "Visual Settings" tab and you'll notice "Transparency" options (lower left under the Mask).
    Older versions of QT Pro also allowed "blends" of this transparent color.
    I used to use a gaudy Pepto Bismol pink as my transparent color. Now I must be sure to include an alpha channel (black or white) in my imported images. This means your .gif must also either black or white as the transparent color.
