  • Disconnected cable that runs from the mainboard to the headphone part

    Good Evening! I am looking for help with a problem with my 4th generation ipod. Since it is no longer under warranty, I decided to replace the battery on my own and in doing so, the cable that runs from the main board to the headphone part disconnected. Is there any way to reconnect it and get my ipod running again? I've looked all over the internet for the past 2 hours and have not found relavent information to my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This is the forum for the new iPod Classic, not quite the right place foy your post. However, the best source of information for troubleshooting and take-apart guides is ifixit <http://www.ifixit.com>.

    After install of Mavericks, it looks like my system kernal panics and just sits there. I tried waiting over two nights. Tried reinstalling twice, booting ro the repair partition and repairs permissions/drive/verify , with no problems. Tried reseting PVRAM(or whateverit called). Recovery partition now has Mavericks as OS. Im running a iMac i3 27 inch circa 2011. Any ideas? Can still bootcamp into windows.
    Thank you

    The file seems to create the CD/DVD/Image and USB just fine. So I used this only to create a CD image which I then wrote on a blank CD which seems to work fine. Also, I played around a bit and had some partial success in booting the partition. I've updated my original opening post with the new findings.
    Whew!! what a waste of time! Never want to do all of this again .

  • One cable to TV from iMac 2009

    Is there a cable that combines all I need to go from an early 2009 iMac to an Hdmi Cable which would go to my TV?
    Thanks

    According to the specs I found on your iMac, you have a Mini DisplayPort to which you can get a cable to covert to HDMI, But you will also need to run an audio cable for sound from your speaker out plug.

  • What is the correct cable to go from from macbook to my TV - toshiba 24V4210U

    As above, what is the correct cable, and port, to use for watching videos and photos from my macbook on my TV -
    1080p HD    24V4210U
    I live overseas where macs and their accessories are not available so I need to purchase this while on a visit to the USA. Thanks!

    Depends on what input plug you'll be using on your TV. VGA, DVI or HDMI. You'll need a Mini DisplayPort adapter and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini DisplayPort 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#/ref=nb_sb_ss_sc_2_16?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=mini+ displayport&sprefix=mini+displayport&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amini+displayport

  • Need help broadcasting A/V from iMac to TV

    Sup Apple! PC here, don't hold it against meh!
    My sister has an  iMac (27-inch, Mid 2010) w/ the i5. She wants to mirror her pc to her TV but there are considerations. I need help finding the best wireless solution.
    Here are the facts:
    No HDMI port on iMac
    Has HughesNet satellite as her ISP
    Wifi speeds vary with cloudcover
    The machine is 30 ft away not direct line of sight
    I've looked at Apple TV, and AirPlay only ccovers 2011 models and up.
    So assuming I run a mini displayport to HDMI converter from Mac to a Transmitter...I'll get pic only, how do you think the best way is to stream audio and video to the TV? I'm not familiar with FireWire 800, and I see the Optical Out, but for now I have her ordering something that will get Pic only, as she needs to showcase photography.
    There's gotta be a device I am unaware of that will handle both audio and video... with the HughesNet consideration, is it even worth it?
    This is what transmitter/receiver I'm looking at, http://www.nyrius.com/products/display.php?id=123&i=3
    Any better ideas? Am I missing anything elusively obvious here?
    Thanks in advance ,

    I've read that Airparrot works well with Apple TV for macs that don't support mirroring. http://www.airsquirrels.com/airparrot/

  • What cable to run between iMac in back house studio and airport in main house?

    I have my office/studio in a small back house (converted garage) and we keep our airport in the main house for optimum coverage throughout the house. The Airport reaches the back house just fine, but I've always wanted to get a hardwire connection between the airport and my main mac which is in the back house.
    We're having some work done and have the opportunity to replace/update cables, put an additional conduit in etc.
    My question is what cable should go in there? Gigabit ethernet? Thunderbolt? I know there aren't many thunderbolt devices out there at the moment, but in theory apple is pushing the Thunderbolt idea. My iMac isn't even thunderbolt, but I'll be getting one next time I upgrade, not sure how long it'll be till I do that.
    Thanks!

    Are you saying that Yos/10.10, as a volume located in a mounted external drive won't appear as an option in Snow Leopard's Startup Disc, in Sys Prefs? I've never heard this one before. AFAIK any mounted volume, regardless of OS, should appear there. I would think that, if it appears in the Boot Picker/Startup Manager it would also appear and could be booted to from Snow's Startup Disk. I can't test this myself, since I don't have Yos. Is what you are saying documented somewhere?

    In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access.  Is there any way to make this work for us?  We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web.  Do we need Apple TV to do this?  Or is it not possible with our old iMac?  My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor.

    Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
    There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
    You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
    Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
    If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
    If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time,  you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
    These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
    Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
    Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

  • I'm attempting to migrate files from iMac to new MacBook air. The estimated time shown on the display is over ten hours. Is that correct? Is there a way to do it quicker?

    I'm attempting to migrate files from iMac to new MacBook air. The estimated time shown on the display is over ten hours. Is that correct? Is there a way to do it quicker?

    It's quite possible, since you are using an MBA without Firewire, that it could take that long.
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate.  Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    >Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    >Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    >System Preference add-ons
    >All Unsanity Haxies
    >Browser and other plug-ins
    >Contextual Menu Items
    >Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    >Kernel extensions
    >Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard.  The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.  Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

    Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
    will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.   The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode.  It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
    If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
    1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
    2. Backup your data.  This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
    3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
    4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
    5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
    1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
    2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:

    If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the  Discussions where specific applications store their data.
    5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

  • Which external hard drive do i need to transfer my files from my G4 with OS 10.3 to my new iMac?

    I have a Mac G4 PowerPC (with: processor speed of 1GHz, 1 MB L3 cache) running OS 10.3.9.  I want to transfer my files from the G4 to my iMac (.21.5/2.5QC/2X2GB/500GB/6750M) which is still in the box, for the last 3 years.  I believe it is running OS Mountain Lion.  All the Mac-compatible external Hard drives i have looked at are for OS 10.5 or 10.7 and above. Are there any external hard drives for sale that will work with my OS 10.3.9 to transfer files to my iMac? If not, how can i do this transfer of files?

    An external hard disk drive enclosure with FireWire400/800 ports, with others
    may be able to be used; but not as an adapter from one kind of port to another.
    The old iMac uses USB, perhaps as slow as 1.1; that won't work with newer
    USB3.0; but both the newer and older computers could use FireWire; or maybe
    ethernet for computer to computer.
    Newest models have Thunderbolt data ports, so adapter cables are needed.
    And then you'll need cables to match whatever combination you end up with.
    {You may have tried something or another, but not posted back to say if you did.
    And this thread is nearly two weeks old, now. I just happened to find it here.}
    For what you suggest, you may be able to find a suitable cable, perhaps FireWire
    or Ethernet, depending on the ports available and cables still applicable to both.
    Does newer iMac have FireWire ports? You could buy a FW400 to FW800 cable where
    the ends are different, if the newer machine has FireWire800. [The old one has FW400.]
    This would have to be equipped with the protruding connectors so each could make
    the connection between each computer's built-in ports. Not all cable sets do this.
    This would be the fastest way to copy content between machines, if FW 800 in newer mac.
    Port-powered external hard drives may be under-powered and fail to work, so that is why
    I suggest  enclosed HDD with its own AC power adapter that will not rely on FW or USB
    for the power to run the drive and the electronics inside the enclosure.
    example of external enclosures with multiple ports and its own power adapter:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
    This is an image of the lesser model series with fewer ports. The FW800 and USB3.0
    are both backward compatible to their older counterparts, FW400 & USB2.0. But even
    so the old 1GHz iMac G4 with USB1.1, would not be able to use newer USB3.0; yet
    should be able to connect via FireWire400 to FireWire800 by special cable.
    If the iMac G4 is still working, that's a plus. Attempting to remove the old IDE/ATA HDD
    and access it outside the PowerPC iMacG4, is really a troublesome effort, one to avoid.
    But the PPC iMacG4 can be started in Target Disk Mode and accessed as a hard drive
    via FireWire cable, too. Then files can be seen as though the old Mac is an external HD.
    In any event...
    Good luck & happy computing!

    iMac can't read usb card, says need correct codec, how do I get correct codec?

    What Mac OS are you running (from "About this Mac" in your Apple menu).
    Codecs are usually required for viewing videos and should not affect whether the USB drive mounts. Can you tell us what kind of file your are trying to run from the USB drive? The pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers are no longer supported by most modern codecs

  • I moved from the UK to the US with my iMac. What do I need to buy for the UK iMac to work in the US? A power convertor? A plug convertor? or Both?

    I moved from the UK to the US with my iMac. What do I need to buy for the UK iMac to work in the US? A power convertor? A plug convertor? or Both?  I had previously read that you only need a plug convertor (three prong to two prong).  But I'm terrified that my iMac will blow up if I only use a plug convertor and not some sort of voltage convertor (Transformer).

    I'm not really hardware tech savy - is it easy to pop out the UK power cable and plug in the US power cable? Or do I need to get someone like an iMac support guy to do this? And because of the voltage difference, is there something built into the iMac that takes care of the voltage difference for me?  Thanks!!

  • Firewire Cable Needed For File transfer Between Old iMac & New iMac.

    I have an iMac G4 (Flat Panel) - just got the the iMac 21.5! Need to transfer files between old & new iMac.
    Is the 6 pin to 6 pin the correct cable I'm going to need to get my files transfered ???

    No. The new iMacs have FireWire 800, which is 9-pin. Older Macs have FireWire 400, which is 6-pin. You need something like this.
