Lenovo G450 - Want to connect VGA to Plasma TV with HDMI inputs

Hello Community
I was hoping to get some verification on this from someone that owns a Lenovo G450 Model 2949. I want to understand if I can connect this notebook to my older plasma TV through the VGA output connector. My TV supports S-video, HDMI and Component. Can I purchase any one of those types of VGA to S-video/HDMI/Component connectors and it will work? Will there be any loss of quality when you push the laptop video signal onto the television?
Here's one off amazon for a VGA to HDMI converter:

Thanks in advance.

Hi
Welcome to the forums
The quality of the display would remain like a normal vga connection as your laptop does not support hdmi/no hdmi port. So it is better hooking up via a vga cable.

For the "Arangements" option to appear, the external display must be turned on with the correct input selected and connected to the computer. Then close system prefs, reopen, go to "Display" and "Arrangement" will be along the top.

Well not had time to really play about, but I thought that miracast was based on widi and I was wondering if the software update would upgrade the widi version number.
Funny thing is that they can see each other and I'm allowed to input the auth code but it seems as if it tmes out on trying to establish a connection.
Could my router be preventing the connection? There doesn't seem to be many config on the TV or tablet on set up.

There are a couple of other pay-for apps that do this, but they're not as good... some people have had success.

The BT profiles on the iPod do not support direct iPod-to-iPod use. There are apps that support peer-to-peer gaming between iPods and maybe transfer like for photos. Also see:

Want to connect an older Amplifier to AEX. Input data is 200mV for the amp. When I connect sound level is very low. What is output on AEX?

Want to connect an older amplifier to AEX. Input (AUX)data is 200mV. The soundlevel is very low. What is output from AEX? Phono input is 2,5mV and gives too high soundlevel as well as a strange sound(Isuppose some preamp is there)
Anyone to give some good ideas?

The analog output of the AirPort Express is approximately the same as a CD player. It is definitely compatible with a millivolt input. Don't use a phono input.
Make sure the master volume in iTunes is at its maximum setting. Remote speakers can have their own volume setting in iTunes, so check that also:
Try another audio cable.

Welcome to the Apple community.
The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC..

What cable do i need to connect my macbook pro to the hdmi input on my tv?.

what cable do i need to connect my macbook pro to the hdmi input on my tv?.

hi Sam
It's actally an HDMI adapter that Apple sells.
You hook the small adapter up to your MBP and then HDMI cable to your TV. Please note adapter is for HDMI compliant for HDMI rev 1.3 and above:
My TV, which has DVI port also, besides HDMI gets its best resolution by DVI of which also sell at Apple store for the MBP.
Bottom line is check w/ your TV manufacture to be sure your flat screen supports 1920 X 1200.
Let 'er rip and...

Want to connect to client's server with ARD, and run ARD on the server.

Hi, I have Apple Remote Desktop and use it to monitor, update and service clients servers. I also have client's buy ARD to use internally to access, update and maintain computers on the network.
When I try to access/sign-in to a server with ARD, when it's running ARD, it will not connect.
What is the proper way to ARD into a server and still be able to run ARD on the server to connect with and work on other computers on the local network?
Thanks in advance.

On the client server install of ARD, open ARD, select preferences, select security tab, and make sure "allow control of this computer when ARD is running" is selected.

Can't connect Macbook Pro to TV with HDMI

I have a Macbook Pro (osx Lion) and I can not connect it to my tv. I am using a mini display port to HDMI adapter to connect to my Insignia TV. Whenever I connect it the screen on my laptop goes blue for a second but nothing shows up on the TV. When I check for displays nothing happens and the TV says no signal. I have tried using other cords and have had the same result. When I try to use the same cord and adapter on a different TV it works just fine. The TV model is an Insignia LCD TV NS-L22Q-10A. Please help, I have tried various methods and still can not get it to work.

Hello Alley-cat,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I found an article to assist with troubleshooting external displays connected to your mac that should prove helpful.
Named Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays you can find it here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573.
No video or no signal, image distortion, "snow," or flickering
Check connections
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
All the very best,
Sterling

Connecting to LCD Monitor with HDMI input

The Macbook Pro Comes with a DVI Cable(Haven't got it with me).Can anybody tell me if I need to get a DVI to HDMI cable to use a 32 Inch LCD Monitor? Thank You
Macbook Pro 2.16Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8) MacBook Pro

Hi J.Charles,
You've actually posted in the forum for the Mac Pro Desktop machine, but that's ok
The MacBook Pro doesn't come with a cable, you'll need to buy one. The MacBook Pro has a DVI port. DVI is a subset of HDMI, so you can either get a DVI to DVI cable and a DVI to HDMI adaptor, or a DVI to HDMI adaptor.
With regards to the question of if your LCD TV requires HDMI, since you haven't mentioned the brand/model, only the manual can tell you

That will only work if you can set up your BB as a wifi hotspot. If so just connect the iPad to that wifi hotspot as any other wifi network.

Connection to Apps EUL fails with Disco 4

Hi all,
anyone has a hint for me what the problem might be?
- I want to connect to an applications EUL with Discoverer 4
- I checked the 'connect to Oracle Applications EUL' box
- I filled in GWUID en FNDNAM
- I checked the user and password works in applications itself
Still, when i try to connect, i get the error message that user/password is incorrect.
I am out of ideas.
Any help is highly appreciated

Hi Sandra
Are you using Desktop or 4i?
I am going to assume that you are using Desktop and that you have everything setup correctly inside Tools | Options.
In order to connect to Apps you need to have a secure folder on your machine and place a copy of the dbc file for the Apps server into that folder. The file is usually named after the instance so that if it is called PROD the file will be prod.dbc. Your DBA should be able to get it for you.
Next, you create a folder called c:\oracle\secure on your hard disk and place the dbc file into that folder.
The final step would be to create an environment variable called FND_TOP which points at the c:\oracle folder (not the secure folder). On an XP machine use this workflow:
1. From the Start button use Start | Settings | Control Panel
2. If in Category mode (pretty icons) switch to classic view
3. Double-cick System
4. Click the Advanced tab
5. Click the Environment Variables button
6. Click the New button in the top half of the screen
7. In Variable Name enter FND_TOP
8. In Variable Value enter c:\oracle
9. Click the OK button twice
If you try connecting again you should be able to authenticate.
Best wishes
Michael
