How much/what needed to hook up PB to a TV?

Hi guys!
What will I need and how much will it cost to hook my Powerbook up to my television?
Thank you!
Alec

It depends on what kind of TV you have and what kind of ports are on the TV.
If you have a new digital or HDTV, it could have a DVI port on the back. That directly works with the DVI port on your PowerBook 15-inch. If it has an HDMI port, you get a DVI-HDMI adapter. Either way gets you a full quality digital signal.
If your TV is not quite so new, it might have a VGA port. You can connect to that using the DVI-VGA adapter that came with your PowerBook, assuming you didn't lose it. That is a high-quality analog signal.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel: S-Video, already covered above, a direct link to your PowerBook's S-Video port. If you have a somewhat old TV, that only has one composite video port, you must use the S-Video to Composite adapter that also came with your PowerBook.
So, you have four choices depending on how new your TV is. DVI and HDMI are the highest quality.

  • HT4623 I lost my apps and iTunes after a restore, but it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone 4. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos, but I'm still getting the same message.

    I did an iphone 4 software update. It then asked me to do a "restore" in order for me to be able to use the latest iTunes. I did a "restore" to "factory settings" (this was the only option listed) thinking I'd be able to sync later and get everything back and ended up losing all my purchased apps and iTunes. When I open iTunes, "Welcome to your new iphone" and it says I can re-do the "restore" and choose my lastest update. I assume this will give me back my apps and iTunes. When i choose to do this, it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos from the phone, but I'm still getting the same message every time I re-try. I don't want to delete everything, but I don't know what to do...? Thanks!

    Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...

    It isn't that risky. You may be reading hundreds of posts here about problems, but that is out of MILLIONS of iPhones that have been upgraded. Percentage-wise, that means most people have no problem.
    However, as with any major change to your system, you should back up everything your iPhone first. Just right-click it in iTunes to get the backup menu. That will be your safe fallback position in case something goes wrong.
    I still use an iPhone 3GS. That's older than your iPhone. But iOS 5 works fine on it.

  • How much RAM needed for the DB box

    Hi,
    Can someone share with me the technical way to do calculation of how much of RAM needed for a new Linux box with estimation of 500 users. I hope this calculation can also allow me to breakdown how much MEMORY needed for each session.
    Please recommend any site that I can refer to if any. TQ.

    My project start with Oracle 9i R2 (9206) on Linux (not yet confirm on the platform and etc). Just assume I will use Linux Red Hat Adv Sever latest version.
    Hence how many GB of memory for the box is sufficient to handle 500 connections. Pls guide me the formula to derive the calculation. TQ

  • How much i need pay for ipad 2 screen ?

    How much i need pay for ipad 2 screen ?

    Out of warranty replacement costs start at 249 and go up for an ipad 2.
    You can find replacements cheaper as non-authorized places, but once you use them Apple will wash their hands of your device so if it has any warranty left, that warranty will be void.

  • How much storage needed? or how do I find out?

    I've been using Macs for years but feel as though I don't really know them well.
    I'm upgrading my son's MacBook (white, mid-2009) to Snow Leopard and before I do so I want to back up the computer. I have a 500 gb external hard drive available (it isn't full but I'm not sure w
    My questions are:
    1) how can you find out how much space you'll need for a backup?
    2) what is the easiest and/or fastest way to perform the backup?
    Thanks!

    Click on Macintosh HD and press Cmd-I.
    Under 'used' it will tell you how much data is on the disk.
    This is the minimum space needed.

  • How much money needed to replace the iphone ?

    Hello all,
    I have a iPhone 4s with greyed out problem. My phone had a water damage but it did not cause anything on the phone. However, 2 weeks ago my wifi just greyed out. I cannot use wifi anymore. What I am wondering is, how much money do I need to replace the phone ? I saw 150€ and 150$ to replace. I suppose Apple gives the "0" phone to customers after the payment but I want to be sure on the amount of the money ? Does anyone has an idea on that ?
    Thank you.

    We are all fellow users on here and not Apple employees so cannot speak for Apple or what they will do.  That said, I would be very surprised if a US Apple store would be willing to do any replacement for this iPhone as it is not a US version.  Your friend can certainly visit an Apple store genius bar and see what they will do, there is no harm is asking.
    A new one will still have the problems I noted above, no warranty outside the US, LTE service will be for the US frequencies, locked to a US carrier unless you pay the premium price for a factory unlocked iPhone, on the order of $600.

  • Download a movie on iTunes how much space needed

    I want to download the dark knight rises but I don't know how much space I need to have open

  • How much space needed

    I want to upload movies on my iPod touch. I like to that how much one movie takes room or what is the movies size in GB. Please help me.

    If the movie is already in your iTunes library, look at the size column in list view. If you don't have a size column, add it from the View menu -> View Options.
    If you are looking to download one from the iTunes Store, the size is shown in the details above the "Buy" button:

  • Adding storage to 9980 how much cache needed??

    Hello, i'm not sure where to find this answer so i'm asking here we are currently at about 15TB of storage and are planning on adding another 10TB how much cache should be added to the system? I believe the system has 8GB is there a general rule or algorithm to use to determine this?

    The amount of cache is really dependent upon your applications. For example, on a web server, you want to keep the web pages in memory because most of the pages get accessed frequently. You don't want to keep re-reading the same page from disk. For applications that stream video and the video is rarely reused, more cache is not that helpful. However, for 25 TB, 8 GB is on the low side. You should be in the 32 GB range. Also, you might have to increase shared memory for the 2 MB min to 2.5 or 3 MB max depending upon how many luns you create.

  • How to/what needed

    Hello, please bare with me and my lack of knowledge.
    I have an SA 500 with the optional port configued as the DMZ. The LAN ports are running the 192 range and the DMZ is the 172 range.
    I have seperate offices (A few hundred feet apart) that have been connected  with 2 unmanaged switches uplinked with a single wire. The 192 range stuff runs over this. I need to get the DMZ out to the second room and was asking about how to do this over the single uplink and switches. (Trying not to run a second wire)
    My lack of understanding had me draw up this diagram attached as a picture, to ask about. What it shows is me trying to get the DMZ through the uplinked switches to the other room. I thought of using 2 routers, one on each end. I've been told this is incorrect and wont work.
    Maybe a purchase of a second hardware and eliminate the switches? (uplink the SA 500 to another device?) What should that device be?
    I would appreciate any comment on this. Thanks, Burr            

    Thanks Elton,
        Yeah, the SA 500 is our firewall device. Controlling a VPN. Internally, I just need to get the DMZ up to the other room without running another wire (running another wire is optimal, just less optional).
    I didnt originally care for the juniper stuff I looked at, thats why we got the SA 500. But not opposed to it now.
    Elton Babcock wrote:    Any switch that is manageable and do VLANs is ideal in my opinion.
    Yeah, that sounds like it. I just need to start the research on what all that means, why and how, so i buy the best option for us.
    Maybe someone that knows the SA 500 and looks at what i am trying to do can suggest the 2 switches from Cisco?
    I suppose the real roadblock for me is if the suggestion is 2 x 2000 dollar switches.
    Maybe just 1 more SA 500 on the other end, and uplink those? Then just expand the lan with the switches from those?

  • How much time need the update to be full installed?

    I got the OS X Mountain Lion from the apple store two hours ago - and for free because I bought my mac just a few weeks ago. but it's still loading... when will it be finished?

    The download itself is just over 4 Gigs so it depends on your connection speed.  Figure on another half hour for the installation to complete after download.

  • How much storage and ram does a Mac need?

    I'm thinking about buying a Macbook Air as a present for my Mum, however I've always used Windows and have no clue at how OSX works. For example I know that Windows requires 8GB of ram and 500GB of storage at least for it to run well and be future proofed for the next couple years. I'm guess OSX uses less resources since all the models seem to be really low on storage and ram, the models with more are way more expensive but you cannot add more later which *****. So I'm just wondering how much does a modern Mac need these days?
    Just an extra question...
    I'm mainly making this purchasing decision on battery life, every Windows Laptop I've come across seems to only last about 3 hours. Will OSX be able to do everything Windows generally does? My Mum isn't a heavy user with specific needs but she uses Microsoft Office a lot and her work requires for her to have Flash Player in the browser and I know IOS doesn't support that, does OSX?
    Thanx.

    How much she need depends on what she wants to do with it. I am perfectly happy with my mid-2012 Air with 4/128. The storage issue might be most easily answered by seeing how much space she has filled on her current computer.
    You can install Flash Player with OS X.

  • J2ME to personal Java, how much need to change

    I have an appilication that is written in J2ME. Now i'd like to experiment how it runs on PersonalJava devices, such as Nokia Communicator.
    How much I need to change. The app is small pop-mail program, that fetches emails from my mail server. It uses HttpConnection. The Gui is build with few Form.
    Am I right when I assume that just the GUI parts have to be re-written (using AWT), mostly all the rest works. If I compile existing code with Jdk 1.1, are the errors I get the changes I need to do... Or is there something else too ?
    Thanks in advance,
    P_trig

    The Idea was not to test the app on Desktop, but to convert it to PersonalJava and I wondered how much there is to change before J2ME app runs in PersonalJave Device.
    My app runs fine, I know that already, but I need to make another version of it for PersonalJava. IE, which elements of current versions have to be rewritten, that's my question, not how to emulate J2ME on desktop.
    Thanks,
