Im looking to use my TV as an additional screen using my mac

Im looking to use my TV as an additional screen, can i use a mini dvi to HDMI, or must i get mini dvi to vga (i have the white macbook mid 2009 model)

Hi and welcome,
You can use this type of adaptor from mini-dvi to hdmi
http://www.macfixit.com.au/shop/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=1150
or you can use a mini-dvi to vga.
Check the specs of your model to see what reslolution it will be able to produce as an external display. I think it should get to 1920 x 1200, but check first.
Also, you will not get any audio through the mini-dvi port, so you will need to use a separate audio cable from the headphone outlet.
Hope this help

  • My daugther' iphone id under my wife's email and now all music and pictures are attached to that id.  Wife now has an ipad and looking at using the existing id for set up? Would like to establish new id for daughter and not lose or share music/photos?

    My daugther' iphone apple id is under my wife's email and now all music and pictures are attached to that id.  My wife now has an ipad and I am looking at using the existing id during set up?   Thus, I would like to establish new apple id for daughter, associated to her email account, however I do not want to lose or share her music/photos, nor share with my wife's id.  Is this possible, or is it best just to establish a new id for my wife, and then change the email address associated with the existing apple id?

    well if you establish a new apple id for your wife that would be best unless you email all of the existing photos to your email and then when you have established a new id then you log into your email on the new id and save all of your pics onto it by pressing on tthe pic for about 5-8 seconds then options will come up and you press the save to my album ..as for the music if you can copy and paste, through computer, the songs then awesome!

  • I'm looking to use Bootcamp on my iMac 24". If I download Windows 7 from the Windows website, can I properly install it to my Mac? Do I need the disks instead?

    I'm looking to use Bootcamp on my iMac 24". If I download Windows 7 from the Windows website, can I properly install it to my Mac? Do I need the disks instead?
    I'm hoping to download it from their website because I can pay $30 for the student discount instead of $119...

    When burning the .iso file to a disc restrict the burn-speed to 2x
    Otherwise the disc will most likely not work.
    It's a common phenomenon on Macs.

    I have manipulated a photo using layers etc and then flattened it and saved it under a new name.  When I use 'Preview' (mac) to view the finished photo it doesn't look right.  It's as the layers have not flattened correctly.  When viewed in Elements 12 it looks OK.  The photo looks incorrect in other software such as photo books.
    Looking at the same photo before flattening, what is being shown is only the top layer.
    How do I correct this?

    The top layer is indeed the one that is visible, unless there is/are area(s) of translucency on that layer, so that you can visualize a portion of the subjacent layer.

    Are your settings targeted to have the printer manage colors, or, to have PSE manage colors?

  • Looking at using apple TV to assist with photo editing on my MB Pro, is this a good idea?

    I have a mac book pro 13 (2011) I am looking at using the Apple TV to display my MBP to my TV for photo editing, anyone able to let me know if they either have done this before, good or bad, or if you think it would work if you have not tried it yourself. Will also be using it for TV etc not just editing.
    Thank you in advance.
    Currently have Lightroom 5 and PS CC for editing etc.

    So you plan to mirror the MBP's display via the Apple TV to your TV and edit off that image?
    Right off the bat I can see problems with color calibration between the MBP's display and the TV.  I edit in Aperture and while the images when displayed on my TV vi Apple TV look ok they are not exactly the same as they appear on the iMac.
    So I guess it depends on what you plan to do with the images once you have edited them. Is there any printing involved? That brings in another whole layer of complexity.
    For sharing on the web and with family and friends it should be Ok, for anything more professional you'll need to get everything calibrated.
    regards

    I am interpreting that to say that the detail panel is missing your develop module. If that is the case, right-click on one of the other panel headings and make sure there is a checkmark for detail.

    What is the best program to use on Mac for editing, cropping photos from my computer. Looking for a free program that is good.

    If your needs are limited to those tasks then both Preview and iPhoto will fit the bill They are already on your Mac. There is a free download from Google called Picasa available here:
    http://picasa.google.com/
      It works much the in same manner as iPhoto. For some really heavy duty work there is GIMP available from SourceForge:
    http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/  Also a free download.

  • DB Look Ups using JAVA Mapping

    Hi Frnds,
    I'm working one B2B Project, my question is,
    I have to retrieve Order ,Order Response from one Data Base,
    its already stored in DATA BASE as a CLOB Message.
    I developed one JAVA Map to retrieve Order And Order Response.
    its working fine,
    But i made a connection through JAVA Map only,
    But as Per SAP its not a good advice to perform Statefull operations through JAVA Mapping.
    My Client not accpeting this approach.
    what is the next way,
    I performed some DB Look up using JDBC Adapter And Visula Admin.
    But in this case its not a easy to retrieve the Order And Order Response.
    Because in My logic there is 5 SQL Statements there.
    Any one can provide Solution.
    Thanks ,
    Raj

    Hi,
    As you said, you have to run 5 sql statements and fetch Order and OrderResponse. Let's say all your inputs for these sql statements are A,B,C,D,E then these will be input parameters for Stored Procedure and out parameters will be Order and OrderResponse. Fetching logic should be in the stored proc.
    By this approach you will get Order and OrderResponse in the Stored Proceedure response structure. That structure you can map to your Receiver structure. (if i am not wrong this is your aim)
    You can see this sample blog on Stored Procedure scenario...
    JDBC Stored Procedures

  • Can you use a Mac Mini to share documents between several devices? iPhones, MacBooks, iPads, etc...? We are a home based business with several locations across the state and are having Google Drive issues, looking into Mac Mini options.

    We are having Google Drive issues (some files won't sync) and it's causing us trouble with our business communication. Is there any way to use a Mac Mini to share documents between two people in different areas similar to google drive? Would this just be done through iCloud?

    If you use Numbers, Pages and KeyNote it si very easy to sync those document among all the Apple devices. You need montain Lion on the Mac  and at least iOS 5 on the mobile devices.
    I show those document on my Mac, iPad 4 and iPhone 4S

  • Use the Mac OS dictionary vs. add on dictionary for spelling in Firefox

    I have a series of questions related to the OS dictionary and about looking up the definitions of words and spelling. With Safari I could use Command+: to turn on Spell checker and loved using it. I have spell checker turned on with FireFox via Preferences/Advanced/Check my spelling as I type and like the other method better. I suppose I could get used to the method FireFox uses, but don't understand why cmd: can't work too. I even went in through system preferences and added it as a keyboard shortcut for Firefox without success. I dont' see anything in the pulldown menu's using that key-combination so what's blocking it? Another important feature that doesn't work is I can't click on a word to look up the definition. That's an important feature and I use it often. Because of these I stopped using firefox and continue using Safari even though Safari doesn't work for a main site I visit. Safari is also generally slow and locks up constantly causing me a lot of grief. If the problems I wrote about worked I wouldn't use Safari again and would commit to using Firefox. I would appreciate knowing how to do what I'm trying to do. Thanks,
    Chris

    Thanks for the suggestions. I installed firefox 16.0.2 and see additional features but still can't use the Mac dictionary or spell checker. I'm going to install the latest OS on this computer then I'll be able to install the latest version of firefox. The newest OS I can use on my other computer is 10.4.8 as it's a PowerBook and doesn't have an Intel CPU. Maybe I just can't do these commands.
    How do I reset FireFox?
