I want to connect my Samsung LCD Television to my G5 computer

What cables or devices do I need to do this?
Has anyone else done this?
Thanks sooooooooo much for any help.

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
If your TV has HDMI connection, use a DVI to HDMI cable to connect the Mac to the TV.
Sound will need to go through the Macs speakers, or, go through a home stereo.
Use a Toslink cable from your optical out, or, use a stereo minijack to RCA for connecting the Mac to the stereo.

'09 mac mini connection to Samsung LCD

I just purchased the new mac mini and am trying to hook it up to my 42" Samsung LCD using the mini display port and a VGA cable. The TV is not recognizing the hookup (PC is not an option in my list of sources). If anyone has any ideas or suggestions on things to try I'd appreciate it! I purchased my TV a little less than three years ago. It's an HD set - model LN-S4092D - in case that helps! Thanks!

tbrodi,
I do have the same stuff. only a newer version of the Samsung and an older mini.
I use a DVIHDMI cable, connect the cable into port 2 on the tv and the audio jack from the mini straight to the input on the tv, the audio out from the tv is going to the recever/amplifier.
At least, that works for me all in full HD

Connecting powerbook & samsung LCD

I recently bought a Samsung 40" LCD TV with 1360x768 pc resolution. I was assured I could connect my powerbook to it with a HDMI-DVI cable.
I went to the Apple store in SF to buy the Belkin cable but they didn't have it in stock. They sold me an XtremeHD HDMI-DVI cable (which incidentally is $100 cheaper than the Belkin and no one in the store could explain why the radical difference in price).
But when I connect the powerbook to the TV, the only thing that displays is my screensaver image. No toolbar, nothing. Advice anyone? thanks!

You don't have to mirror displays, but doing so shows the same thing on both displays, sometimes with some funny business on the size on one of the displays. Note that you can "span" displays, by not mirroring, and using the "arrangement" tab to move the virtual arrangement of the displays in relation to each other, as well as dragging the menu bar to the display you wish to have as the "primary" screen.

Lenovo flex 2 can't connect to samsung LCD tv by HMDI

I got a problem te connect my Lenovo flex 2 to my Samsung T200HD tv. wen i connect it says no signal... and yes i know i need to activate it from my computer. the thing is t doesnt find it. it says connect to screen by VGA... I dont have a VG poort, and i have no option to change it HDMI. The support desk of samsung say it my laptop software.... The thing is.. when i connected my laptop with the same HMDI cable to a other Samsung tv it works instantly. I have tryed all kinds of things and lloked on forums.. nothing worked... not updating the drivers... not reinstalling them.. i think its the combination between the useless Intel HD software and the Geforce software... Does anyone has the same problem and a fix!

Update:
I can connect through the IE Tabs extension on Chrome. In other words, when Chrome simulates an Internet Explorer browser tab, I'm able to connect. I'd still like to find a fix for this problem since I can't configure Outlook. Can anyone help me out?

Need help want to connect ipod which was set up on another computer to mine

I use an ipod for work as I am a dance teacher. My boss set the ipod on his computer and downloaded all the songs etc as at the time I did not have a computer. I would like to now manage it myself but how do I go about it as it will be a brand new itunes and I have heard if I connect it to my computer I will loose everyting???
Can someon please explain how I do this without loosing everyting please??

Yes you can. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

I want to connect my personal iPhone 4 to my work computer as my original computer died. I do NOT want the dates or contact from the Outlook Calender on my phone though it says I need to make a contact or it will delete what I have on my iPhone. ?? help!

So how can I sync and not lose my contacts/calendar, I am confused.

Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
It would depend however on the age of the child.
Good Luck

Connecting iMac G5 to Samsung 40" LCD television.

Hi folks,
A friend of mine is about to purchase his first Mac, an iMac G5.
He currently owns a 40" Samsung LCD television, the exact model can be seen here:
http://www.samsung.com/uk/products/television/tftlcd/le40r51bxxeu.asp?page=Speci fications
He would like to know if it's possible to connect the iMac to his television and if so, which of the numerous cables available in the apple store would be best for him to purchase? I've tried my best to advise him but there's simply too many on offer to make a guess.
Could anyone replying, if possible, provide a link to the cable required (if possible).
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

I do not think it would be a good idea to connect an iMac G5 to that TV. First reaosn being that the signal coming out of an iMac is VGA, which is analog, and turning analog to digital is not exactly a good idea. That TV has DVI in, (Digital Video Interface). You would not be getting that great of quality if you ended up splitting the VGA into composite video, the yellow white and red cables. Your friend's best bet would be to get either, a Mac mini, Powermac G5, or a Powerbook. Keep in mind if he gets a Powerbook 12 inch he will need a mini DVi to regular DVI adaptor, which does not affect quality. Quite frankly the iMac is the worst choice for this application. If you could find a TV that utilizes VGA, that would greatly improve the situation, but since he owns the tv already that would not exactly be conveniant. The iBook would also be a bad choice, because it has VGA out. If you do not want to dish out the crazy amount of money for the PMG5, then get a powerbook, the performance isn't much different compared to the G5 iMac. If I were your friend, I would wait for an update to the iMac line, or Powerbook. I have an IMac right now and I have ran into weird little minor issues. This probably isn't the best computer Apple makes right now. Powerbooks are very good.

Hey guys. I want to connect my MacBook to my Samsung television and don't know what cable to purchase. It's a five year old machine and I presume a fairly simple solution but would appreciate it if someone could link me up to the correct cable to buy.

Depends on what input plug you'll be using on your TV. VGA, DVI, Composite or HDMI. You'll need a Mini-DVI adapter and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini-DVI adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13
(Composite is the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs.)
You'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs for VGA, DVI or Composite. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macbo o k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable
If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.

How do I connect my iMac to my Samsung LCD TV?

I want to connect my 2009 iMac, Mac os x version 10.5.8 to my 2008 Samsung LCD TV, model LN32A450C1D. Does anyone know what cords I will need so I can watch videos from my computer on my TV?
Thanks.

Your mac has a mini display port so you'll need to adapt that to HDMI on your TV. I have a mini display port to DVI that I bought from the Apple Store, then a DVI to HDMI adapter. Be aware that this will only carry the video signal, you'll need seperate audio cables to carry the audio signal. You can buy adapters for cheap but I've read of some people having problems with no name adapters working with their Macs, so I spend a few more $$ and shop at the apple store.

Connecting Macbook to new Samsung LCD

Apologies if its been asked before but I cant figure out the technical mumbo jumbo
I have a C2D Macbook with Leopard and now want to connect it to my new Samsung 26 LCD to watch videos which have been stored on my mac.
I know I have to buy a chord for that (which one) but will the picture quality be okay? The Samsung model is LA26A450C1 and it has a resolution of 1366 x 768. Do I have to plug it in AV or HDMI and is my LCD compatible with the macbook?
Again, sorry for such a basic question.

You have three optional adapters to get the video signal out of the MacBook through the built-in mini-DVI port:
mini-DVI to DVI, chained with an additional DVI to HDMI adapter/cable, for the best digital signal. (recommended option)
mini-DVI to VGA, for an analog signal with a VGA/Dsub15 computer monitor cable.
mini-DVI to Video (either S-Video or Composite) for an analog signal, usually for PAL or NTSC equipment.
you will also need to run an audio cable from the little headphone jack on the MacBook to a AUX line-input on your stereo or TV.

Connecting a Macbook Pro to a Samsung LCD TV. Can anyone tell me where to find information on what I need and how to do it?

I want to connect my 2009 Macbook Pro to my Samsung LCD TV. I am afraid to go somewhere and ask and get bogus information so am putting it out here to see if anyone can help with the how tos and the types of cords/adapters I might need to purchase.

You might profit from a visit to a Minneapolis Apple store. With a brand new Mac, I think they will be most helpful - not just with transferring files, but with other advice as well. And I strongly recommend you invest in a back up drive. The Apple folk can help with that as well.

Connecting my new sony str hd800 to my Samsung LCD.

I want to make sure that HDMI out from the receiver to HDMI in on the TV is the way to hook up my receiver (Sony str dh800) to my Samsung LCD TV (think it is a 52" lcd 650) I don't remember now but when I tried it (looked at it but didn't connect it) last night I didn't think it looked correct. If I didn't need to help with the kids I probably would have tried it. Just want to make sure! Thanks!

right now I have it connected to the rca audio input on the tv

I am using a mini display port to VGA adapter. I have sucessfully hooked up boh devices but it stopped working after a handful of times. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the problem or is my cable broken?

Trouble connecting Macbook to Samsung LCD TV

Hello,
I tried connecting my Macbook to my Samsung LCD TV (through a DVI to HDMI cable) but I only got a black screen and "No signal". The macbook detects the Samsung and even displays "SAMSUNG" as a detected display.
I checked the TV manual and there I found "Don't connect a PC or laptop computer to the HDMI/DVI connectors (it will result in a black screen)"
Does anybody know why? Any solution?
Will this happen with a MacMini too? I had the intention to connect it to my TV and use it as a media center

Sorry to tell you that DVI does not support sound. You either have to use a HDMI cable (with the appropriate adapter) or tap your audio output port with a 'Y' type cable configuration for sound.
Ciao.
