Need a cable adapter to connect up SB card to front pan

I currently have a Sound Blaster card SB0350 (Audigy 2 ZS). This card connects to my computer's (Dell Precision 670) front control panel via a small cable. The connector on the card is a long thin one (Single row). I cannot remember how many pins. I was hoping to replace the card with a new sound card. I went to the store and bought a SB-073A Extreme gamer X-FI card (The card itself says SB0730 on it). That card uses a 2 row 0 pin connector to connect to the computer's front panel. Is there an adapter cable I can buy to convert the two? If not are there any other Sound Blaster cards that also use the same single row connector as I currently have?

The front panel connector on your new card is the Intel HD standard connector, called AZALIA. You might have more luck replacing the front panel connector entirely, the two may not be compatible. I don't know which standard your's uses, a single row means it's not AC97, but I do know that using an AC97 connector on an AZALIA connection can cause damage to the sound device. Which is a problem since the AC97 and AZALIA connectors look the same. The point being you may want to contact your computer manufacturer and see if they make a front panel connector with the Intel HD standard connection. And change your front panel connector.

Do I need to purchase adapter to connect to bluetooth headphones using the newest i pod nano?

Yes. There is no bluetooth hardware built into the iPod itself. Here is one such adapter.

HDMI cable/adapter causing feedback interference in studio monitors

Hi I just bought an HDMI cable/adapter to connect my MacBook Pro to my LCD tv and as soon as I connect my studio monitors through my MBox interface, I got really loud CPU feedback through my monitors. Any suggestions? really trying to have a nice studio set up here lol

Thanks for trying to help me out, rsannie. I had actually figured it out earlier, didn't get a chance to post. Under Sound, click Recording tab, click the device, click Properties, click Advanced tab, uncheck Enable audio enhancements. This was what was causing the interference/feedback type noise.
Just for the heck of it, to get better acquainted with the settings, I went to where you suggested but could not toggle that feature on/off. This feature looks like it deals with the external mic (the ones by the webcam) and not from a source fed through the minijack anyway.

Is there any esata extender cable adapter for Mac Pro 3.1?

I have a Mac Pro 3.1 with two Quad-Core Intel Xeon @3GHz, and G-DRIVE0G00204 2TB External Hard Drive.
I was told the speed of sSATA cable is 3 times faster compared to firewire 800, but the Mac Pro doesnt provide eSATA port. Is there any solution to make connection with Mac Pro via sSATA cables?
Thanks.

You do this with a pci slot. Either the following,
Newer Technology eSATA Extender Cable Adapter
or a eSATA pci card. For example,

What cable/adapter do I need to connect my MacBook Pro to a Sharp Aquos TV?
I want to watch videos on youtube or read articles on my laptop, and I want a cable/adapter that will hook up the Macbook to the TV and display the webpage that is on the laptop.

Of course it doesn't. But you can buy an adaptor from HDMI to the Mini-DisplayPort port on the computer.

I have connected them via the Ipad to a LIGHTNING DIGITAL AV ADAPTER-ZML connected to a APPLE HDMI TO HDMI CABLE (1.8 M)-ZML, and to the HDMI port on the PC. But now I don't know how to show the Ipad screen on the PC, as if it was a monitor / screen, so that I can then use Lync and share my PC screen with people virtually.
Thanks for any help! Regards

Hi Rob - thanks so much for your help! Could you tell me what "air sever or reflector apps." are? and where can I look for information about them?
Do you use them on the Ipad or on the PC?
Do I need a cable too and which one?
Sorry... I am not very technical as you can see, thanks for your help.

The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine. I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? The mac turns on the screen freezes as bright blue. Is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

There is another option if the Macbook will start up in Target Disk Mode.
Restart the computer while holding down the T key. If you see the firewire symbol moving around on the screen you can connect this one to another one in TDM. You will need a suitable cable to connect the two Macs.

No audio with HDMI cable connect - need optical cable?

I have just connected my AppleTV 2 with my Pioneer ELITE 910 HD Plasma TV system. I have a hard wire ether net connected. I have a great picture coming out of the HDMI connection from AppleTV plugged into my ELITE 910 HDMI Media Receiver. But I am not hearing audio. I have gone through the 'settings' menu on the AppleTV screen and have every setting correct (I believe) It might appear that I may have to purchase an Optical Digital Audio Cable that would input into my Pioneer ELITE VSX-54TX receiver (that does have an Optical Digital Input that has not been used.)
Am I on the right track? I was hoping the video AND audio would travel through the HDMI connection. I don't want to spend money on the cable if I don't need it.

Re: No audio with HDMI cable connect - need optical cable?
Yes, audio and video should go via HDMI.
Do other peripherals work ok with the pioneer over HDMI.
My LG BlueRay player works fine. My TIVO works fine -- good audio and video
AppleTV is a bit odd with audio at times.
Does the pioneer media box handle doilby digital and linear PCM?
I don't know what "linear PCM" is. All the specs on this 2004 system are here:
http://plasmatvbuyingguide.com/plasmatv/pioneer-pro910hd.html
If you have Dolby Digital set to Auto I'd expect you to get some audio - if set to On and media box can't decode DD then you may get no sound.
Try cycling those settings as well as the one for audoo bit depth.
Have done all this. Still no audio

Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D Dual Cable/Adapter for mid-2010 iMac?

Hi . . .
Sorry to pester with a question that's been covered from various angles before, but I'm new to the Mac world. Am a musician in BC, Canada doing a project remotely with people in Ontario. Decided to ditch my PC-based recording rig and went with a 2010 iMac and Logic Pro X (hallelujah!) because the other people are using Logic Pro X. So . . . I'm just learning the ropes.
Anyway . . . I have a spare monitor I want to run in dual setup extended desktop, and I'm not 100% certain of the cable and/or adapter I'll need. I'm also not sure why the adapters are bigger and seem to contain more internal components, whereas the cables just look like a simple "Plug 1" connected to "Plug 2" cable in a variety of lengths (in the same way you'd have a XLR to 1/4" phono cable).
Here's the info on my system, and any help would be greatly appreciated (will a cable suffice or do I need an separate adapter, DVI type, etc).
My iMac (mid-2010 21" Core i3 with Firewire running Moutain Lion 10.8.5):
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-i3-3.06-21-inch-alumi num-mid-2010-specs.html
My monitor I want use as an extended desktop (Acer 22" X223W LCD):
http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/acer-x223w-lcd-monitor/4507-3174_7-32627876 .html
So, it appears I'll need a male Mini DisplayPort to a male DVI-D Dual adapter and/or cable. Do I need to specifically buy a DVI-D Dual cable? Will a simple cable function properly or do I also need an adapter? I'm pretty sure a DVI-I cable won't work because it would have extra pins that aren't present in the DVI-D.
Thanks again . . . the assistance is appreciated.

You are overthinking this.
"DVI dual link support" is concerned about the resolution of the display, not the number of displays.   A dual-link adapter or cable basically has double the number of wires to carry extra data to support higher resolutions than a single-link cable. Of course, both the computer and the external display must also support the higher resolutions in order to take advantage of the capabilities of dual-link.
You want to use two displays ... your iMac's buit-in display + your Acer display as a second monitor (what you called "dual monitors"). You can do this, as I explained earlier.
Your Acer monitor's maxiumum resolution of 1680 x 1050 is not high enough to require a dual-link connection.
"In single-link mode, the maximum pixel clock frequency is 165 MHz that supports a maximum resolution of 2.75 megapixels (including blanking interval) at 60 Hz refresh. For practical purposes, this allows a maximum 16:9 screen resolution of 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz (1915 × 1436 at a 4:3 ratio).
To support higher-resolution display devices, the DVI specification contains a provision for dual link. Dual-link DVI doubles the number of TMDS pairs, effectively doubling the video bandwidth. As a result, higher resolutions up to 2560 × 1600 are supported at 60 Hz [via dual-link DVI]."   (See Digital Visual Interface, Wikipedia)
You can connect almost any VGA, DVI or HDMI display to your iMac, using the appropriate cable and/or adapter. Of course, you always have to make sure that your cable has the correct gender plug on each end.   The Apple adapter I recommended has a female connector, so you will need a cable with a male DVI-D plug on one end. As for the other end of the cable, check the input on your Acer display to see what it has and select a cable that has an appropriate gender connector on the end that will plug into your Acer monitor.
In extended desktop mode, you can set separate (independent) resolutions for your iMac display and your external Acer display, taking advantage of the maximum resolution of each.   (For example, that's why the MacBookPro example you cited works, it's because that model MacBook Pro can support higher resolutions on an external display than it's built-in LCD panel can.)

In need of some special adapters connection soundcard to double speaker

I'd need a two male-to-male ,8''x,8'' cables (3,5mmx3,5mm). One with a lenght as short as possible, 5 inches (5cm) or shorter, a 2" long adapter without a cord would?even do the job better. And a second cable with similar single ,8'' connectors in both ends measuring 33 feet (0m), or slightly more if?one can not be found mesuring that on the dot. If you'd know where to get one's like that online, would you mind helping me and posting a link? It were?easier if the online retailer would be located in Europe, but overseas is not excluded if it proves difficult finding them inside EU. Where do I need such cables? I'm planning on connecting my X-Fi ExtremeMusic onto two S750 speaker systems.

Miix 3 1030 - The battery discharges slowly when adapter is connected

Just as the subject says, the battery level slowly discharges over time even when the adapter is connected while the tablet is running.
But when I turn the tablet off, the battery appears to be charging fine.
This happens all the time, and it doesn't matter if I play a game or if the tablet is just idle with no programs running.
I used to be able to play a game with the adapter connected at the same time without the battery being discharged, so this issue has started recently.
I've tried different charging cables, but same issue.
Bios is up to date (v25).
The folio case keyboard firmware is also up to date (v10).
The windows power settings is set to power saving, and I've tried to decrease the brightness.
I am usually very busy during the day so I might not have time to call the support, so I was hoping that someone here could assist. Any suggestions?

It is actually both the "mains power" and (with some delay) the "battery" icons flickering (the latter sometimes turning red even though it should be blue as per the full charge status. This seems to be due to the plug of the AC-200 power supply /charger shipped with type RX-72 Booklet 3Gs which is NOT making proper contact, being longer than the socket's depth and having all-too-literal radial "wiggle room" (as if of insufficient diameter) at least on the units of several reviewers at http://hukd.mydealz.de/deals/ebay-wow-nokia-booklet-3g-349-euro-versandkostenfrei/8751#un96854 - moreover I have heard one of these netbooks (not just the PSU itself) make a high-pitch hissing sound (as from switching PSU or LED backlight transformer coils) only while the mains charger is plugged into the Booklet 3G. In fact it needs to be firmly plugged in to make contact at all, but it just does not fit tightly into its wider than expected socket - actually whatever little vibrations are caused probably by the slow hard disk suffice to disconnect the plug and drain the battery after a few hours unattended in an empty room. I do very much hope that this is just a problem of the charger rather than an engineering defect in the Booklet itself, and that Nokia will indeed take the opportunity to offer me another one with a better plug to try.

What non-adapter power connections to use for Boeing 777 business flights?

Hi!
My client would like to know what type of NON-adapter power connections to get for his 15" 2.4 Ghz MacBook Pro on his Boeing 777 business flights. He doesn't want those adapters since they clutter up and are heavy. Also, where to buy them (Costco, Best Buy, Apple stores, etc. in CA, USA).
Thank you in advance.

Thank you.

The specific type of power port depends on the airline (for example, American's 777s have cigarette lighter-style power ports, whereas United's 777s have EmPower ports).
What is needed is the MagSafe Airline Adapter:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB441Z/A
That will work with both EmPower and cigarette lighter-style power ports. It does not have a 'power brick', merely a cable with plugs on both ends (and a small adapter for the cigarette lighter-style port). Note that this will not charge the battery, but it will power the MBP during flight.
The above adapter will not work on planes with standard AC connections. In that case, the only solution is a power-brick type of adapter - one would have to use the 60 W MagSafe power supply for a MacBook (or 13"/15" 2.53 GHz MBP), since the 85 W adapter that comes with most MBPs will trip the fuse on seat power (it's limited to 75 W).

Cable Advice for connection to HDTV

I am waiting for delivery of a Pioneer LX5090 and a new MBP but I am confused as to the type of cable required to connect these two up.

For the video, you need a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter like THIS ONE from monoprice.com, and an HDMI cable.
For the audio, you need a mini-stereo to RCA cable like THIS ONE from amazon.com (these are commonly available). The TV you list does not seem to have digital audio input (though it does have digital audio output).

Cable adapter

what cable adapter do i need to connect G3 to a current cinema display?

What video card do you have have in your G3? You need one with either an ADC or a DVI output to use the current Cinema Displays unless you're willing to purchase a pricey VGA to DVI converter. The new Cinema Display will only work with the new MacBooks that have Mini-DisplayPort, so you can't use that one with your G3 at all.
