I need a DVI to RCA video adaptor that works!

I need to buy a DVI to RCA composite video adaptor for a Powerbook G4 15 inch.
I purchased one from the local Apple Store a few weeks back, and all I get from it is a non-synchronous/grey-squiggly image.
I have been told that the current new adaptor (Apple DVI to Video Adapter) only works with Macbooks with the Intel processor. Is that true?
Where can I get one that works???

The specifications here:
http://support.apple.com/specs/powerbook/PowerBookG4_15-inch_1_67-15GHz.html
Under Video accessories say that an "S-video to composite adapter" and "DVI to VGA adapter" were included if you bought it new. NTSC Composite Video is the one that uses the RCA jack, and will show up on a TV set or a VCR. It looks like someone at the Apple store was trying too hard. Ask for the 922-3421 (black) or 922-4200 (ice) described and pictured in this document:
33001- Monitor and Display Adapter Table
Note that the adapter pictured has a Female RCA jack, and you may need a male-to-male patch cord to complete the circuit to the TV or VCR.
If what you really want is 15-pin VGA, there are some other things to try, depending on what your display/record device is, and what its capabilities are.

Need Sceptre TV Remote Control code(s) that work with VZ P265v3RC -- the '335' code does NOT

Recently upgraded my TV's in my house with new Sceptre 40" and 50" TV's - thank you WalMart. Purchased in September 2014. (new / current Sceptre TVs).
All of the Verizon printed, online, and other documentation for the P265V3 RC (model RC2655005/01B) for Sceptre shows to use code '335'. I have tried the '335' code on both of the TV's and no worky at all.
Following the 'Quick Setup Guide-Verizon FIOS remote' steps (paper/PDF instructions with RC Manual):
I can successfully enter the '335' code as outlned in step 4... and 'The RED LED will blink twice and then stay on'. occurs. So far, so good.
Step 5 states, "5. Press and release the <CH +> button repeatedly until the TV turns off......." This happens perfectly... I can press the <CH+>> button a few times, and indeed, my TV turns off.
Now, onto Step 6: "Test that the remote control is programmed for your TV"..... can't get Mute, A/V, other keys to activate /. be recognized - even though I'm followijng "press and hold that key. Release it as soon as it works"
Does anyone have a working code for Sceptre TV's ??? The Verizon '335' code doesn't work for me.
I need the 'best code' anyone has found that works with new Sceptre TV's.... the 335 code that VZ recommends... no worky.

Robertop,
have you tried the following? The info below is found here
Turn on your TV and the FiOS TV Set-Top Box.
Make sure you can see live TV.
Press and hold the OK and FiOS TV buttons together then release both buttons.
The red LED light blinks 2 times and then stays on.
Press and hold the Play button.
The remote control tries a new TV code every second.
The red LED light blinks each time a new code is sent.
When the TV turns off, release the Play button immediately.
NOTE: Some TVs may respond slower than others. If necessary, you can press the Ch+ and Ch- buttons to go forward or backward one TV code at a time.
Test your remote to ensure it is working properly:
- Turn on the TV by pressing the TV button on your FiOS TV remote.
- Press the Vol+ and Vol- buttons to ensure that you can control the volume.
- Press the Mute and A/V buttons to ensure they work.
If any of these buttons do not work, press and hold that button. Release the button as soon as it works.
If all the buttons work, press OK to this TV remote code.
The red LED light blinks 3 times and then turns off. Your remote control is now programmed.

Mini-DVI to S-Video doesn't work

I connected my MacBook to a TV using a mini-DVI and everything worked fine. The resolution of my computer screen changed automatically after putting in the mini-DVI connector, and everything appeared normal on the TV.
However, the next day after doing the same, the resolution of my computer screen didn't change, and on the TV I could see my desktop picture, but every program opened way to the left of the screen and I could see only the margins of the window. The TV now displays only certain things that are on my computer.
What's wrong? Somebody help, please!

Try plugging your computer into the DVI-video adaptor again and going to your display settings. Inside the NTSC/PAL settings, is your "mirror displays" (or something like that) box checked?

Why does my DVI to S Video adapter not work on my Macbook Pro since installing Snow Leopard?

The Apple DVI to S Video Adapter worked before installing Snow Leopard. Now I just get a blue screen.

.wpl appears to be a Windows Media Player playlist. I can find no conversion software for that, and Windows Media Player is not available for Mac anymore.
If you can persuade him to download iTunes and create the playlist as mp3 in a iTunes playlist, or even just burn the base mp3 files to CD as a data disc, that's about the only solutions I can suggest.

Help needed getting a USB to serial adaptor to work

I have a new Mac Mini but an not getting my serial adaptors to be seen by the OS (10.7)
Any ideas please

Here’s a way to get you PL2303-based Serial-USB adapter working with OS X Lion (10.7). Based on the osx-pl2303 project on github, I’ve built a kernel extension that works with OS X Lion. You can grab the kext file here or from the link below.
Installing the kext file can be done in a few easy steps:
download and extract
cd /path/to/osx-pl2303.kext
cp -R osx-pl2303.kext /System/Library/Extensions/
next you need to fix permissions and execute bits:
cd /System/Library/Extensions
chmod -R 755 osx-pl2303.kext
chown -R root:wheel osx-pl2303.kext
cd /System/Library/Extensions
kextload ./osx-pl2303.kext
kextcache -system-cache
Good luck!

DVI to S-Video adaptor and Calibration

Except for one step, the brightness (right adjustment in advance calibration) is all the way down when trying to calibrate my JVC Broadcast CRT. This makes the apple disappear and the color adjustment impossible. Please advise.

What are you going to be viewing on the JVC broadcast monitor? Your desktop, or did you plan on using it for video editing on your Mac?

Video Cameras that work with Mac software...

I am a new Mac user (3 months and still learning) and My wife is a photo freak. She is wanting to get a new camcorder and start editing some of the footage she gets. Which camcorders out there have people had success with on the Mac??? We currently have a low end Sony that will not work. It does not have a USB connection and burns footage to miniCDs. We're looking for something that we can plug in and get to editing. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Any DV or HDV camera will work (writes to MinDV casettes and has a firewire port for DV video transfer). Prices range from about $175 to $6000.
Other than that, cameras that record MPEG4 and can be accessed as USB mass storage devices will work too. With those, you are sacrificing quality of the video for the speed of transfer to the computer (DV and HDV transfer 1 minute of video in 1 minute). With MPEG4 video, the data has already been compressed and encoded with some quality loss.
There are also DVD/MPEG2 recording cameras. These have very similar properties to the MPEG4 ones but require additional software on the Mac, and, if mini-DVD, require an external DVD drive.
Personally, for home video I use a Canon ZR100 -- very small and simple camera. Quite basic, but I get pretty decent results (particularly outdoors). I'd prefer a nice 3-CCD model but that just wasn't in the budget at the time (maybe soon).

A video clip that works fine in windows media player but not in Premiere

I have an AVI video clip file that I recorded from an old VHS tape many years back. The file plays just fine in Windows Media Player but when I import it into the latest version of Premiere Pro CS6 the video portion shows nothing but a green screen. The audio track plays fine. I've tried using Adobe Media Encoder to change it into a variety of different formats. Some don't even produce a file and some do but don't work any differently than the original within Premiere. Any suggestions?
thanx a bunch,
mike

I need to Find a Version of IE that works on a Mac

I am a realtor and have several real estate apps that only work on IE. I've heard that there are some old IE versions that will still work on a Mac but I don't know where to find them and need help. Thanks!

Some modern browsers allow the user to change settings
in the browser's preferences so as to have these appear
as other browsers, so as to access web sites which are
made to limit users who are not running MS Windows...
Some to try, & look in to see if they offer the equivalent
of an emulation or identity shift to fool those sites, are
out there. Not sure if the newest Opera does that...
Safari offers a 'User Agent' in the Developer menu and
it can allow the browser to appear as some other one.
This may or may not work, depending on the site itself.
If a developer menu option does not exist in your Safari
you may be able to enable it through use of tools in
a utility application such as OnyX, a free running utility.
Good luck & happy computing!

Problems with music tracks on Video Ipod that worked fine on ipod mini

Just got a video ipod on Christmas. Have owned an ipod mini for two years.
Transferred music and playlists from Itunes Library into the new video ipod.
I'm finding that some of the audio tracks that played fine on the ipod mini are
experiencing problems on the Video ipod. The commonality among the problem tracks are that they were custom tracks I made through Final Cut Pro and exported out as AIFF's. I then used the "Convert to AAC" function in ITunes to change them to AAC before putting them on the ipod mini. Again, these all played fine on the ipod mini. These problem tracks also tend to be long....50 minutes or more...they're comedy albums transferred into Final Cut Pro from off-air VCR/DVR tapings and are one long track.
These same files, while AAC, have problems starting up on the video ipod,
freeze the display and menu controls for a few seconds, or won't play at all. Other normal tracks from CD's or the Itunes store are fine.
Any correction ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Need a form filling program for firefox that works like roboform

when i use internet explorer i have roboform to fill the open data fields but in Firefox i use the automatic form filler, but it seems to only save data and want to reuse it if i have at least been on the site and filled out the fields at least once. roboform has my information and will fill any sites fields so i don't have to re-enter the data over again. so does Firefox have a similar program that can do what roboform does? thanks

Roboform works fine with Firefox, as long as you have the correct Roboform adapter for Firefox.

I need to find a powered usb hub that works with my Macbook pro

It only works if it is plugged directly in to the Macbook. So is there a powered usb hub out there that can handle having an ipod and and ipad plugged into them and actually charge these devices. Thanks in advance.

Yes. Google...

Mini DVI - DVI to DVI - S-video adaptors

I want to connect my new Macbook with an older TV with SCART input.
I guessed a Mini-DVI<->DVI hooked up to a DVI<->S-video adaptor, finally connecting a s-video to Scart cable, would solve this.
I bought the two first adaptors from Apple, but the DVI:s wont fit!? They seem to be right looking at them, since one of them is male and the other one is female...
Please help.
Regards,
Ann & Daniel

Thanks!
Anyone looking for Mini-DVI<->DVI or DIV<->Video adaptors?

ATI dvi to component video adapter?

I have an older HDTV that only has component video inputs (for HD signals anyway). The macbook pro has an ATI graphics processor, so I took a chance and ordered the ATI dvi to component video adapter:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&tag=replaylink-20&camp= 1789&creative=9325&path=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB00068NSZA
I know it doesn't work with the old ati single-link dvi macs, has anyone tried it with the new x1600 based macs?

I have the same problem. I have found out that RGB output from computers is actually RGBHV, which includes vertical and horizontal sync signals. Therefore conversion from Macbook Pro DVI or RGB to plasma component (YPrPb) requires more than just a simple converter like ATI DVI to Component video adaptor, unless Apple can output component video from the video card (that's theoretically possible, but it depends on how Apple integrated the chipset into the motherboard, according to ATI).
The alternative is to use a processor to convert the signal. Key Digital produce a signal transcoder, KT-VTCA3. http://www.keydigital.com/ProductDetail.aspx?categorycode=500&itemno=KDVTCA3&pro ductname=Video%20and%20Control%20Adapters. I have ordered one of these and believe it will work, in lieu of Apple providing a means for outputting component video directly from the Macbook Pro.
This is also available from a seller in UK over ebay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Key-Digital-ClearColor3-VGA-To-Component-TRANSCODER_W0QQit emZ9700214677QQcategoryZ22610QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem.
