I am trying to play a DVD on my MacBook Pro and transmit it to my TV (using my TV as the monitor) utilizing a VGA cable and adapter for the Mac but the only image that shows up on the TV is the MacBook wall paper, any ideas on how I can transmit the movie from my MacBook to the TV? I also tried an HDMI cable and had the same issue.

I have a new Macbook Air, 6 months old, and for the last few days the fan had run continuously, this is the first time it has ever run, and now it won't stop, the fan starts up as soon as I turn it on and the computer seems to running more slowy.The computer is not hot but I am worried it may burn out,.Any ideas on how I can fix this please ?
Hello dwb,
Here is the screen shot, just the top half, there are another 10 pages, but I guess this should enough for you to have an idea of waht is going on, bit small I am afraid. No, I don't have any apps setup to run when I open my computer, the kernel, varies between 290 and 305 per cent ish.
Would that PRAM thing help ? I think it may be the computer itself, well something inside, as this the first time that the fan has ever started running since I have this computer, even when I have 3 or 4 apps running.
Thank you again for your advice,
Regard,

I've been working on our church website and all of a sudden this week, my computer will not connect to the site. I keep getting a message saying that the the connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can fix this?
The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.

When trying to Airplay from my Macbook Pro Retina, to AppleTv3 it plays for only a few minutes, and then jumps back to the Mac. It seems to do this no matter what I play, music, movies or pictures. I just bought a new router. This could affect it.
I have been playing whole movies before from VLC without problems.
Any Ideas?Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes it's network issues or settings that cause these types of problems most of the time.
The following article(s) may help you.

my airplay from my MacBook Pro to my tv through my apple tv is fuzzy- it just started being fuzzy about 2 months ago- it used to be clear- anyone else have this problem? How can I fix it?
Hi freezebri,
The following steps may resolve your issue:
Apple TV: Basic troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1551
If your TV screen appears fuzzy or black (you see no video)
Make sure the television you are using supports the Apple TV resolution requirements. Please see the Apple TV technical specifications.
When you connect power, check to make sure the LED turns on. If the LED is not on, then verify with a known good power outlet or connect something else to the outlet you're using for Apple TV and make sure it works (such as a lamp or clock).
Make sure you're using the correct video cables and that they are connected firmly to Apple TV and to your TV.
Connect the HDMI cable directly into the Apple TV and your television, remove any third party devices or adapters.
Make sure the input setting you've selected on your TV matches the input you have your video cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your TV for more information.
Change the Apple TV resolution by pressing and holding the Menu and Up button for six seconds. The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals. Pressing the Selectbutton will immediately cycle to the next resolution.
If you are connected via HDMI, try unplugging and replugging your HDMI cable.
If HDMI isn't working on an Apple TV (1st generation), try component cables instead (and disconnect the HDMI cable temporarily). Read more about HDMI vs component video.
Hope this information helps ...

A Headphone jack got stuck in my iPad. Any ideas on how I can get it out?
I was listening to music, and I forced the headphone jack inside, and when I try to get it out, it snapped. any ideas on how I can fix this? can Apple replace my iPad for another one, or can they fix it?
You are the second person tonight that has done this and reported it on here. I would not tell them that you "forced it in" or that could be considered misuse of the iPad!
If there is enough of the "metal part" sticking out of the opening, maybe you could remove the piece with a very small pair of plyers or tweezers - but - if you are not at all comfortable with doing that - then don't do it. Take it to an Apple Store and ask them to remove it for you.
If you do try to remove it - pull straight out from the opening - don't pull out on an angle. -

You can transfer the games but you will lose your game progress. now if you've played through game center you might keep something, but I'm not sure, I turn that off. But when I transferred my angry birds from my touch to my ipad i had to replay the levels over

I cannot print in color from my MacBook Pro
I cannot print in color from my MacBook Pro to my hpdeskjet 6122
hi FalconMom,
EWS stands for Embedded Web Server. You will be able to access the printer EWS if it is connected to the same network as your PC or notebook. Here are the instructions to connect to EWS.
Open the embedded Web server
You can access the embedded Web server via either the network or Wi-Fi Direct.
To open the embedded Web server via network
NOTE: The printer must be on a network and must have an IP address. The IP address for the
printer can be found by pressing the Wireless icon or by printing a network configuration page.
In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the IP address or hostname that has been assigned to the printer. For example, if the IP address is 192.168.0.12, type the following address into a Web browser:
http://192.168.0.12.
To open the embedded Web server using Wi-Fi Direct
From the Home screen, touch (Wireless) and then touch (Settings).
If the display shows that Wi-Fi Direct is Off, touch Wi-Fi Direct and then switch it on.
From your wireless computer, turn wireless on, search for and connect to the Wi-Fi Direct name,
for example: DIRECT-**- HP Officejet-5740 (where ** are the unique characters to identify your
printer). Enter the Wi-Fi Direct password when prompted.
In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the following address: http://192.168.223.1.

Any ideas on how I can reasonably priced get two decent smartphones with one upgrade?
I have 4 phones, 700 shared minutes and unlimited text. Already costs 160 bucks. Would love to make 2 phones data package leave other 2 talk/text; only one upgrade available. any ideas on how i can make this happen without having to sell my first born?
are you asking about purchasing the 2 smartphones, or about the monthly plans? because both will be fairly expensive. the new share everything plans would cost you $190 (prior to taxes) per month just to share 1 gig between the 2 smartphones....$210 to share 4 gigs (prior to taxes). you may be able to keep your current plan and add 2 data packages at $30 each. that would be $220/month (based on you stating that you currently pay $160). if you only have one upgrade available, then your best bet would be to call and ask verizon about a certified preowned device (usually about half price of the full retail price) or check out ebay. i believe the cheapest smartphones start at $400 (and they are the very low end smartphones). you can find pretty nice ones on ebay for $200-300.
