How to connect living room Tv with upstairs iMac...RGB cable or what??

the problem is that the TV isn't connected to the upstairs iMac yet. What is the best way of doing that? Via a RGB cable connection or Airport express with airtunes? pardon the ignorance.
Also once the connection was established, would i be able to browse the contents of my hard drive using a wireless keyboard and mouse?
Thanks.
Sharad

An Airport Express with airtunes won't work for you ,as it carries audio only. I would use a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter if the TV supports it,otherwise I would use a Mini-DVI to S-video adapter. As far as the wireless keyboard and mouse goes, I would think they wouldn't have enough power to transmit through the floor.

  • Satellite A205: Dynadock - How to connect to LCD TV with HDMI to DVI cable

    I recently purchased this product and had a problem when connecting it to my LCD TV.
    I used a HDMI to DVI cable to connect it to the TV. Only a small portion of the full display shows on the TV.
    I have adjusted all setting on the laptop (Satellite A205) but it only adjusts the laptop screen, not the TV.
    I also used the adaptor to VGA, plugged it into the computer input on TV, same effect. I can use VGA output on side of laptop to TV ok.
    Any ideas on how to adjust dynadock output settings?

    First of all it would be interesting to know what dynadock you have exactly; one with DVI port or one with VGA port?
    >I have adjusted all setting on the laptop (Satellite A205) but it only adjusts the laptop screen, not the TV.
    You should know that the dynadock has a own built-in graphics controller and video drivers to control the video stream.
    Therefore you should change the settings directly in the dynadock settings and not on the laptop!!!

  • How to connect 2 iPod classics with bluetooth

    I am trying to sync photos between 2 iPod classics, iPad4 and iphone 5 with blue tooth. The only devices that are seeing each other is the iPhone and iPad but still hasn't' synced the photos. Why re the apple devices not able to see each other?

    Havilah Farm wrote:

    Because that's the way Apple have designed it. They have used a particular Bluetooth protocol that is designed to allow audio to be transmitted to Bluetooth headphones or Bluetooth speakers (for example) and some peer-to-peer gaming between the devices, but not the transfer of files.
    To transfer photos, Sync them via your iTunes programme. If you took the photos on the device, transfer them to your computer first and then Sync them with the other devices. For photos that were not taken on the device, they presumably were Synced from your computer originally, so simply Sync them to your other devices from the computer.
    By the way, your subject question: "how to connect two iPod Classics with Bluetooth"...
    You cannot. The Classic does not have Bluetooth.

  • Connect 2 external Displays with a iMac 27''

    Hi,
    is there a way to connect two external Displays with a iMac 27inch. Eyefinity? Its a Radeon 5750 inside the iMac isnt it?

    Hi,
    For the first screen is no brainer you use the Apple adapter to have video out to HDMI or DVI, but the second screen is where it gets tricky...
    There are USB to DVI out external video cards that should work with the iMac and OS X 10.6 but I have changed. Honestly I have tested 6 so far and none of them works as advertised, you can not even set minimal resolution on there and some wont even work ( all of them come with OS X 10.6 drivers )
    So I will recommend to stay away from the small $70 or $90 external USB to VGA/DVI cards...
    (maybe someone has luck with them but i have tried like I said 6 so far different brand and no luck..)
    Now recently online I tripped over a nice external video card that takes the MiniVideo Port out from the Mac and then takes it to another 2 monitors price was $249 i think, and you could hook up 2x30" monitors with hight res... I will try to find this link and post here later on.

  • How to share contacts from ipad2 with older iMac running 10.6.2?

    How to share contacts from ipad2 with older iMac running 10.6.2?

    Well I guess I was too optimistic. Since last posting I have had three hang events, one during reboot. When the login dialog box came up I clicked on it and it hung.
    However I do have a new data point. I have enabled the remote login (sshd). I have discovered that when the system hangs like I described above, I can still log in via SSH from my Windows system. The shell appears normal, but when I tried a "killall Safari" command the OS crashed hard. After a hard reset, the system hung during the login process. Again I could login remotely, and that time I executed a "sudo reboot" via the remote session. That cleared the display to all-blue but did not successfully reboot.
    Can anyone suggest what to try via the remote login to help diagnose what is happening? I am familiar with typical Linux architecture but the differences in Mac OS X are leaving me a bit disoriented.
