How do I get my projector to recognize a mini DVI to s-video connection? (2007 iMac)
I purchased an adapter to display my (mid-2007) iMac screen through a projector. With the adapter attached to the mini DVI port, and an S-video cable attached to the projector, I get nothing (the projector says "no source found"). I tried "system preferences--->displays--->detect displays" and nothing happened (the only other option in that window is "gather windows" which also does nothing). I guess it's possible I could have gotten a defective adapter. I know the s-video cable is good since it works from my DVD player to projector. I'm trying to play a movie file on the iMac and project in onto a screen through a projector. Any thoughts? Thanks.

hey, thanks for those links! But, do you really it's a defective adapter?
You are welcome..! It most likely is incompatible.
I'd be bummed out if the OEM one didn't work either.
That is the problem with needing or having to buy outdated hardware that no one makes or supports.
What if it's the DVI port that's the problem?
The only way to find out is to test it with one of the following Mini DVI Adapters.
The Mini DVI to DVI adapter, a DVI cable and a DVI monitor.
The Mini DVI to VGA adapter, a VGA cable and a VGA monitor or VGA projector.
The Mini DVI to Video adapter, an S-Video or composite cable and an old TV or projector.
Several posts suggest selecting "mirroring" in the displays section, but that option doesn't show up)
The Extended Desktop and Mirroring options only work if a second monitor or projector is detected by the display preferences.

How do I get my itunes to recognize my account, it seems to be stuck on my friend account even when my ID show up as sign in, only when I try to update an App, that my friend account appear. I try to reset it on the computer and the phone itself, but no luck. Please advise
Many thanks lllaass,
The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.
Cheers

I recently got an Iphone and after I installed it on my computer my 2 ipods are no longer able to sync to the computer how do I get the computer to recognize the 2 different ipods so I can still use them?
Since you already had two iPod before getting the iPhone, what exactly did you need to "install" to use the iPhone? Doesn't it use to the same iTunes installation you already used with the iPods?
So, I guess my question is, what changed on the computer when you started using the iPhone?
What happens now when you connect the iPod? Is the iPod still seen in Windows device manager? -

How to I get the iPad to recognize a number beginning with 0 without it cutting off the 0
How do I get the iPad to recognize a number beginning with 0 without dropping the 0. And how do I get the iPad to recognize a 4 (birth year) or 5 (zip code) digit number with adding a comma delineating it to thousands?
Hi,
Because the iPad requires more power than from a normal USB port can supply therefore you can not charge an iPad using ONE USB port on a laptop/PC. Please try this free utility, many HP users say it works:

Do you have an uninstaller available to you in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder? If so then please run the uninstaller.
If you don't then please utilize the uninstallers available in this folder to remove all currently installed Adobe Creative Software. You will then want to follow this by running the CS Cleaner tool. You can find details on the use of the CS Cleaner tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html. -
