MAC to HGTV OUTPUTTING SUGGESTIONS

Hi
I used to stream online movies from my Power mac to my HGTV via the DVI to Video Apple adapter.
Just upgraded to the new Mac Pro with the NVIDIA 8800gt card and realized the adapter is no longer supported (it only works with a couple of ATI cards)
Basically I've been researching into getting some sort of - USB/Firewire based or VGA/DVI based, etc hardware which will help me output my desktop (mirroring or extending it) onto my HGTV. Possibly there is software which helps in the process and maybe substitute the rather obsolete "video mirroring" process.
Any suggestions?
There are so many option to turn you Mac into a TV but so hard to do the opposite
Thank you

Hello,
i'm also a new Mac user (Vista did the trick , and i found this article on the Apple support website.
Below information can also be used to do the inverse... Mac to PC.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302392
It explains how to do a backup to CD/DVD. When you have a large library, multiple DVD's will be used.
It tried it out with a portion of my lib, burned a backup with my PC, and imported it on my MacBook. Works great! All but last played information is copied over...
Even Podcast, Movies etc are taken into account, also music not residing within the iTunes folder. After the restore on Mac, everything is properly placed within the iTunes folder you assigned.
Enjoy,
Roger
PS: in fact this article is "on the top" of the following list: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ :-))

  • Is there a way to connect the Apple TV as a second display without it automatically changing my Mac's audio output?

    Is there a way to connect the Apple TV as a second display without it automatically changing my Mac's audio output? I would prefer to use an audio interface for playback and the apple tv as a third display. I know I can go back to system preferences and swap my output back manually, but it is getting to be really inconvienient. Thoughts?

  • How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline via HDMI

    How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline in FCP 7 (yes, I have X, but I'm using 7 right now). I have two monitors running from TB2, but want to have the third for a client monitor.
    If I use all three via TB2, it's literally three monitors, and I want to edit on my CineDisplay. I only want the client to see the timeline video on the third monitor. When I hook up HDMI I get no signal, in fact, I can't have the HDMI cable hooked up for TB2 to work with the third.
    Thanks,

    If you use all ThunderBolt displays, or stick with DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort (free conversion between the two with only a cheap cable) you can have up to six displays.
    If you attach "legacy" displays with "any-old adapter", you can have up to two, and the built-in HDMI counts as one if you use it.
    Any more requires ACTIVE Adapters.
    The US$100 Apple ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter works in every case, even displays over 1920 wide.
    StarTech and Accell make US$35 ACTIVE adpters that work for displays up to 1920 wide.

  • .  It's not clear to me if the default sync for calendar is the iphone or my mac (shows 82 modifications).  I want it to default to the mac but the wording suggests the iphone.  Also, I don't see any way to do the syncy

    I'm having trouble with a sync alert.  It's not clear to me if the default sync for calendar is my iphone (3G) or my mac (shows 82 modifications).  I want it to default to the mac but the wording suggests the iphone.  Anybody know the default device and if it can be and if the other can be selected if desired
    Also, I don't see any way to do the sync on an individual entry basis for calendar.  Looks like it will only do all of them at once.  I'd like to go through them one by one to confirm which entry is correct.
    Thanks
    PS This message ("Syncing with [OWNER'S NAME] iphone will change more than xx% of your calendars events or todos on this computer) only started when I recently updated my OS.

    Maybe you should get new friends.
    I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
    If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
    iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
    This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

  • My iphone wont connect to itunes on my macbook after I have already synced it. I am running the lastest itunes 10.4 and I have tried restarting both phone and mac. Can anyone suggest what I can do?

    You will have to put your phone into recovery mode and restore the phone as new. Since you don't have a back up, you will lose all the data on your phone but you will be able to use it again.

    Why would you say that LiveCycle is the only thing to recommend (but isn't available for Macs) then bring up InDesign?
    If it can't be done by the Mac OS (she hasn't mentioned what she has) then it can be done with Acrobat. She asked about a program to create PDF files. That's pretty much what Acrobat does.
    where is whatI said.
    Being That LiveCycle designer is not availble for Mac. That would be about the only thing to recommend. InDesign Maybe but more pricey.
    The part I've underline refers to Acrobat.  InDesign Maybe but more pricey referes to, Indesign being more expensive than Acrobat.

    I need a wireless usb adaptor for a Power Mac G4... any suggestions? (needs to be compatible)

    With Mac OS X 10.3 or higher, a number of USB Wi-Fi adapters would be possible to use. However, for an earlier operating system, a wireless Ethernet bridge (such as the examples below) can be a better (and sometimes the only) option. A wireless Ethernet bridge does not normally require special drivers, and can thus be used with almost any Ethernet-equipped computer.

  • Just purchased an hp all in one and I can't download software called apple and they suggested either epson or canon as hp always causes trouble to mac's can anyone suggest a good ebson or canon all in one.

    I just purchased an HP All-In-One and when I went to download software it said my Mac didnt support it to contact HP.  When I contacted HP they wanted me to pay to set up my computer so the machine would work.  I contacted Apple and the agent told me to take it back and get either Epson or Canon as HP is not always Mac friendly can anyone suggest a good Epson or Canon All In One.  Thanks for your help..this HP is going back.

    You will probably value these features:
    1. Decent speed
    2. Reliability
    3. Low cost of operation
    4. Wireless usage
    5. Strong printing quality
    Epson withdraw support for my old printer, so I've stayed with Canon - who regularly updates its drivers. The Canon MX 892 has been getting strong reviews for print quality, speed, and special features. Refills, through a third-party vendor, can be very reasonable; so the liberal use of ink probably won't be a major concern (unless you choose to stay with the Canon-branded ink).  Price is as low as $139, new, and about $100 used.

  • Second monitor has a 50Hz refresh rate; my mac's lowest output is 60. What can I do?

    I'm trying to get my 13" Late-2011 macbook pro to work with either of two second monitors so I can use logic more easily. One's a DELL thing with a screen res of 1280x1024 (though does work on some higher res') which I had working yesterday till I accidentally knocked the adaptor the slightest bit and now I can't make the second screen stay on for more than a few seconds whatever settings I try. Usually the monitor is on (ie not in power save mode) but just displaying nothing, and my mac behaves as if the second monitor is there.
    The other one's a Toshiba 20WLT56B Tv with VGA input. The prob with this one is that it's refresh rate is 50Hz and the lowest option I have for my mac is 60Hz. Is there any way to allow me to output at 50Hz instead?
    Cheers
