How do you hook up a TV monitor to a second GFX card?

hi - after i learned that the Nv7800GT GFX card I ordered with my G5 dual core doesn't output to S-Video, i ordered and installed a 6600 card (which allegedly does). However now that it is installed, i can't seem to get it to recognize the TV monitor i've hooked up using the apple DVI to S-Video adapter. the system profiler just tells me "no display connected" on both of its ports.
Can someone please help me to set this up correctly? I want to use the 6600 to drive an external monitor or beamer.
thx for any help in advance!

Did you hit "Detect Displays" ?
yes. i notice that in the sys prefs only my cinema display (the one connected to the 7800GT) is shown. in my experience of using "extended desktop" mode, i would see a second display listed, along with several resolution options.
but in this case, i am not using a single gfx card with a second monitor hooked up. so why do i not "see" the second card in the control panel? (it shows up in the system profiler)

How do you hook up a fire wire video camera to the 13 inch aluminum macbook

I have a 13 inch mac book with only USB, but a video camera that only has a fire wire output jack.
How can I hook up the camera with fire wire out to the USB in on the new 13 inch MB?
Is there an accessory I can buy that will do this? Link to the product?
Thanks!

There is no option/accessory to do this. You'll need to get a different camera, or use a computer with firewire.

How do you properly disconnect a vga monitor?

I use a vga monitor at work about 2 to 3 times a week. I have a MBP 13, 2011. I use it for powerpoint presentations.
I was wondering how do you properly disconnect it once I'm done?
I normally close out the application; turn off VGA, and then just disconnect.
I feel like this may not be the proper way to do this. I've looked for some sort of eject, but haven't found anything.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

If you are switching between a monitor and a projector and the display resolutions are not the same as the MBP's then you should turn off the computer as well. I have found when using a projector that things tend to work best if the computer's display resolution is set to the resolution of the projector. It may not turn out to be necessary, but keep it in mind.

How do you hook an iPad 4 to a tv

How do I hook an iPad 4 to a tv?

Thank you for a very quick response! Much appreciated.
However I already have an Asus wireless router which gets the iPad out to the net ok. That isn't my problem. We have wireless security issues here, and as I don't want to spend half my life checking that I'm not being hacked, I prefer to use hard-wired connections wherever possible. Hence my question.

How do you get a table to flow onto the second page?

Since upgrading to Yosemite, I cannot figure out how to get my table to continue on to the second page. If you look at my screenshot, you can see that my table was so big so the whole thing was moved to the next page. I want it to remain on the 1st page and have additional rows continue on to the second page. In the previous version of pages, the column titles would also appear on the second page. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi F.AD.;
Go to View > Show Invisibles (Shift+Command+I).
This will display Paragraph marks (¶) at the end of each paragraph.
Delete the paragraph mark (¶) that is at the end of the paragraph before the table, i.e. just between the table and the paragraph.
This will bring the table surely just beneath the paragraph (text), I suppose.
Hi BePositive26;
You didn't mention whether my suggestion made easy to solve your problem.

How do I hook up Acer G236hl monitor to my macbook pro?

I recently purchased a macbook pro (non retina display) and an acer G236HL monitor. I would like to hook the monitor up to the macbook for a dual monitor display. There is no port on the macbook to go with the cables provided with the monitor (DVI cable and HDMI cable). How do I make this work? Is there some sort of adapter I can get or am I out of luck?

Use a MiniDisplay Port to DVI or HDMI adapter.

How do you hook up apple TV when existing TV has one HDMI already in use for satellite

How do I hook up a PC monitor to my Mac?

Five years ago, when I was young and foolish, I bought a PC. Last evening I dismantled it and the thought struck me that maybe I could use the perfectly good monitor as an adjunct to my FCE movie making. Perhaps I could display the browser on it and have all that prime acreage for my actual editing.
The monitor has two cables and at the end of one is a three point plug which even I can recognize is the gizmo one shoves into those ubiquitous sockets around the house to encourage the flow of (I think its called) electricity. The other cable end is a different matter. I tried to find it on the 'net so that I could name it for you, but no luck. The business part of the plug is a rectangle slightly narrower on one longer side than the other (you may guess that I never took geometry) and recessed inside it are 15 fine metal pins in three rows of five. This was attached by means of two screws into its female receptacle on the console.
You can see where this is going.
Given what I have, is there a way to connect this to my Mac, and if so, how do I do it?

That sounds like a good idea. Some people put the browser and timeline on one screen, and the canvas and viewer on the other. Or just the browser on one screen, and keep the rest of the windows on the other like you said. Really, you should align it in the way that is most conducive to your editing.
When you have both monitors connected, you can just drag the windows between the two monitors, and change their sizing by dragging the corners.
If you find an arrangement that you especially like, and want FCE to remember it for next time so you don't have to manually align it, you can save a custom window arrangement. For more information on how you do this look at [_*this preview*|http://books.google.com/books?id=2lMK4BCRvt8C&pg=PT34&lpg=PT34&dq=customwindow+arrangement+final+cut+express4&source=bl&ots=-mm87pX5Sw&sig=mHdSYSYSINOpopM-Bafkdfj82yM&hl=en&ei=3m8MSrOVLpms tgeO4Y2FCA&sa=X&oi=bookresult&ct=result&resnum=4#PPT34,M1|click here for preview] of Tom's FCE4 book on Google books, under the section *Window Arrangements.*

How do you center dialogs with multiple monitors. code, best practices

My existing code will take the pixel size of the java app, and using the size of the dialog, it will center dialogs perfectly in the center of the application. This is great for single monitors, but when multiple monitors are introduced it is a problem. With dual monitor, the dialog is split in half between the two monitors.
I should be able to determine which pixel/frame initiated the user's action; and then i am hoping to get some code or direction on:
1. how to determine which monitor the user initiated the action on (knowing the px or frame location, how would i do this)
2. how to center dialog on that monitor
if possible, it would be appreciated if you can provide some code; i cant find anything on determing pixel size of monitors and this seems to be a little bit of a project to do from scratch. open source, 3rd party, insight, guidance, all is appreciated. thanks !

This code may help:

public class OptionPaneDemo {
    ActionListener al = new ActionListener() {

            showDialogInUpperRightCorner(f);

How can you hook up multiple camcorders for video shoot?

I'm making plans for my wedding and I was interested in recording it with stationary camcorders and my Macbook Pro's webcam of the event. I've hooked up my camcorder before as a additional webcam, but I have't recorded from multiple camera's before. This is importabt because I was also thinking of streaming the video from all 3 cameras online so friends and family could watch the event from out-of-town.
I was thinking I could use my Final Cut Pro software to bring the Camcorder footage in using firewire, but I'm not sure about the computers webcam.
I would really like any opinions and suggestions that don't require additonal purchases.
Any past experiences would be appreciated.

Hello JamieLG. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
First, let's double-check your AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) settings...
AirPort Express Base Station Setup (AX) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
Setup the AX
Connect to the AX's wireless network, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility, check these settings:
AirPort tab
o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
o AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
o Create a closed network (unchecked)
o Wireless Security: <your current wireless security setting: None, WEP, or WPA>
o Channel: Automatic
o Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
Internet tab
o Connect Using: Ethernet
o Configure: Using DHCP
o WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Network tab
o Distribute IP addresses (checked)
o Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
If you have wireless security enabled, which type is it: WEP, WPA, or WPA2?

How do you hook up wireless headphones so you can listen to Apple TV and satellite

Currently I have a direct tv satellite receiver and an Apple TV box. I'm trying to hook up sony wireless headphones so I can hear both of them. I watch Netflix on the Apple TV and normal TV viewing on satellite. I'd like to be able to toggle between the two, and for the life of I cannot figure it out how to wire it up. I have no issues getting them to work on the satellite receiver, but it's a no go for the Apple TV.
I have two audio ports on the back of the TV (one red and one white - doesn't specify in or out) and one optical port.
I also have a port a 3.5mm jack could go into and it says "services"
