How would I display my mac on a tv?

I've been wanting to display my mac on a tv for awhile now, but I don't really know how. I'm guessing that I would use a cable with the mini display port and a hdmi on it.
Is there anything else that I need to know? If you know anything about this, please just post what you know.

Hi
What model Mac do you have ? If it's a unibody Macbook or Pro then yes it's the mini display port - eBay have these for under £10 in the UK - mini display port adapter with female HDMI then you just connect a standard HDMI cable from that to your TV
I running like that - HD movie downloads look great
Hope that helps

How would I display paper report, called from forms?

I want to call reports 9i, from forms 9i, and display the paper report on the screen. How would I do this? So far I have gotten forms to call the report and give me a status back of FINISHED, but I don't see anything displayed on my screen.
Thank you.

Hi,
you use the Forms Web.Show_Document() built-in for this. Please read http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/frm9isrw9i.pdf

How would I partition my Mac so I could run Windows to play games on it ?

I would like to play some games on my new Mac such as Total War Shogun 2 and Mount and Blade however they do not exist on Mac and I was told ParrallelDesktop isn't extra for gaming so I was also told that it would be possible to "partition" my hardrive to run Windows just for the times when I'm gaming.
However, I've just been told theese things so I'm not sure of anything and I'm just spitballing here and I would love some advise from people who know what they are talking about.
Thank you very much for having read my post and thanks if you can help me or even add info to my post, contradict what I've said because I'm really just walking in the dark here, and even if you want to add your question that would be great as well.
Thanks a lot,
Sincerely.

Partition your drive with Bootcamp in preparation for installation of Windows. You will need a retail version of Windows. Insert the disk when the prompt comes up. Bootcamp is in your Utlitiles folder.

How would I re-install Mac OS X Lion, if I have to?

I thinking of upgrading from Snow to Lion, but before that I've a question.
If for any reason I need to re-install Lion OSX, would I need to install Snow Leapord first and then upgrade to Lion?
Thanks.

Thanks Thomas,
Does it download to any conspicous place on my hard drive or do I really have to dig it out?
What format does it download to e.g. iso file, dmg file (I really don't know the difference between them though)?
I went through some earlier discussions saying that there was some hidden file and need to find that and copy/paste it to external hard drive to avoid future double-installation process i.e. Snow first and then upgrading to Lion. Is there any step similar to this? If yes, then can you spell it out for me please?
Once I do manage to copy the download file to external HD, will future RE-installation of Lion avoid Snow re-installation step, and go on straight to re-installating Lion?
Thanks once again.

I originally set up my mini with the included HDMI -> DVI adaptor to connect to a Sycmaster monitor. The graphics were very good.

Can I use a MacBook like a Mac Mini? How would I power it on?

Is it possible to use a MacBook like a Mac Mini when I'm at home, with it plugged into a monitor? I've seen pictures of people using theirs when the MacBook is closed, but how would you power it on? If it's turned off, can it be powered on with the remote? And if not, how would I turn it on without opening it? I don't much fancy leaving it in sleep mode all the time.

Basically, you have to use sleep mode, either
with a USB keyboard and/or mouse
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286
or with bluetooth
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1308
You can use the Energy Saver preferences to set up schedules for automated shutdown (at night), startup (in the morning), and sleep (when idle) settings.
If it's powered off, just open the lid and power it up, then close the lid again, or get a laptop stand and use both the built-in display and the external display at the same time in extended desktop mode, if you have the desk space.

How can I reset my Mac to default settings? Or how can I reset it to a prior date? My Mac has a virus and I would like to get rid of it. I would appreciate your help concerning this matter.

How can I reset my Mac to default settings? Or how can I reset it to a prior date? My Mac has a virus and I would like to get rid of it. I would appreciate your help concerning this matter.

To restore it follow these instructions: What to do before selling or giving away your Mac.
Before you do the above check out the following;
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

If I charge 100% battery I would to khon how many hour for using mac book retina? I use Hard dish 750 gb Ram 16 mb.

It depends on the uses you give to your computer, because the battery will have capacity for less time if you are using professional apps than using Safari. Theoretically, the MacBook Pro with Retina display battery should have capacity for 7 hours, but as I said, this will decrease depending on the apps

How to connect a 23" Cinema display and mac mini to an AV Receiver?

I am trying to get my 23" Cinema display and Mac Mini to a Yamaha RX-2700 AV Receiver. I am on first name terms with the guy in Maplins because I tried to get an Xbox 360 working with this display before and gave up in the end. The AV receiver has upscaling capability so I thought I'd try again. I tried connecting a HDMI - DVI adapter to the HDMI Out on the receiver and a HMDI to DVI cable from the Mac Mini to the HDMI in with a optical cable for the sound. The sound works fine but I get no display - the LED on the monitor flashes three times with a blank screen so it can't read the signal. Another option suggested was to use a VGA Converter connected to a VGA - HDMI cable but I would like to find out if that would work before going down that route?
I am looking for some advice about whether this type of configuation is possible with the 23" ACD and if so what do I need to buy to make it work? I love the quality of my ACD to avoid having to replace it with a TV to get my multi media life in order.
Many thanks

I asked how I could display my bookmarks permanently.
This answer does not address that issue. Instead, it tells me how I can display my bookmarks temporarily.
While this is nice to know, I wanted to find out how to display my bookmarks permanently - not temporarily.

I made a big mistake to change the setting of my Mac book pro to "me only". Now ofcourse It cannot open the login page, for how would the mac know it is me? How can I change the setting back to "everyone"?

I made a big mistake to change the setting of my Mac book pro to "me only". Now ofcourse It cannot open the login page, for how would the mac know it is me? How can I change the setting back to "everyone"? I have back up in the past but the last month I have not. I really want to keep the data.
So how can I go in and change the setting, It stays ofcourse at the apple screen with wheel. All info is there and the computer works fine, just cannot use it or have been able to log in.

wjosten is spot on. If you really want iCloud, then you will need to acquire a new or second hand MBP that can run Lion.
Ciao.
