New aluminum Macbook and S-Video

New aluminum Macbook and S-Video
It have come to the conclusion that the new MacBook's and MacBook Pro's can not output to S-video. I have tired the Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI and then the Apple DVI to Video but no luck, the two do not connect as the Mini DisplayPort to DVI is missing 4 pin holes. I have tired Mini DisplayPort to VGA and then a VGA to s-video adapter but no luck, the MacBook did not even see a second display.
Is there any hope to achieve my goal? I need s-video out for work and will have to exchange the computer for a Black MacBook if the new computer can not output to s-video.
Any thoughts?

*Mini Review - PC to Video EZ*
_*It works!*_

I, and many others, have been looking for a way to output video (composite and s-video) from the NEW Macbooks and MacBook Pro's sporting the Mini DisplayPort since Apple as yet to release such adapter. I use my computer to output video (s-video) for digital slide shows and presentations. If our new aluminum MacBook could not meet this requirement back to the store it would go.
While searching the web for a adapter, converter or whatever could help get video out of the new MacBook I quickly learned ($10 later) that a simple VGA to s-video cable would not work.

*NO GOOD!*
I soon came across the PC to Video EZ. It is sold at several online retailers but I finaly decided to buy it from NewEgg.com (links at bottom of post). NewEgg is retailer I knew I could trust and get fast shipping from. I ordered the converter box on Friday and it arrived today (Monday) with standard shipping!
Bottom line, the PC to Video EZ from GrandTec outputs video (both composite and s-video) at equal quality to Apple's own video adapters used on previous (pre-DisplayPort) computers. I, owning a MacBook Pro with DVI to video adapter, could not tell the difference.
The device itself is small. It is nothing you would complain about carrying around and it gets the job done.

*PC to Video EZ with new Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter (still a required purchase)*
The back of the unit has two VGA ports, one in and one out. You can use the VGA out port as a pass through so you can still have your computer connected to a VGA monitor while outputting to video. A feature I will never use but it is still nice to have, especially for desktops.
Also on the back is the video ("yellow" composite) and s-video out.

*Back with end of Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter*
On the right side of the unit you will find a place to plug in the power adapter. Good news, its powered by USB. Bad news, the thing needs to be powered at all... More bad news, the unit does not use a standard USB cable. You better not loose the one that comes in the box! At least there are no power bricks to lug around and a simple USB to wall power adapter (like the one used with iPod or the iPhone) should also power the device. My testing showed that power is required.

*Power in. Why no USB A to USB B?*
!http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3032/2980309856563935f1c3o.jpg!
*USB power cable*
The unit comes with every cable you would need which is a huge plus! Included in the box is a short VGA cable (3 feet, which is perfect), a s-video cable and a composite video cable.

*Included cables. All you need to buy is the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter.*
Although not as neat as an Apple Mini DisplayPort to video adapter would be it does get the job done.

*Final Product*
*The unit supports the following screen resolutions & refresh rates.*
* # 640x480@60/72/75/85Hz, 800x600@60/72/75/85Hz, 1024x768@60/75/85Hz and 1280x1024@60Hz. _On my SD TV I had luck with 1024x768@85Hz. Anything larger would not display._*
Pros:
* Power supplied from USB ~NO BULKY EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY!
* No software required! (works with Mac or Windows or any OS!)
* Composite and S-Video outputs
* VGA IN and VGA OUT for simultaneous TV/monitor viewing
Cons:
* Requires power
* Does not use a standard USB cable
* Not as neat as an Apple Mini DisplayPort to video adapter would be
* You still need to buy the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter
*Package Contents*
* PC to Video EZ
* User Guide
* Composite Video Cable
* S-Video Cable
* USB Power Cable
* VGA Cable

New to MacBook and wireless, What to do?

Help, I am new to laptops and the wireless connection. I do not even know where to begin. How do I get wireless service? Do I need to buy any other special hardware to get connected? Do I have to subscribe to a wirless provider? If so, which is a good one?
As you can see I really do not know where to begin. Please help.
Any Suggestions

if you're that much of a beginner (you don't even have internet access at your house?), i would suggest you get your local cable company come out and install high speed internet into your house and while they're at it, have them set up a wireless router. a wireless router is a piece of equipment that takes the internet and broadcasts it throughout your home. after you've gotten those two things set up, your macbook will recognize the wireless router automatically and you're online.
you're going to need a bit more help than what a forum can give you. good luck!

New unibody macbook and WD passport harddrive

I'm going to buy a unibody macbook in the new year, will a Western digital passport hardrive that is powered from the USB port owrk with it?
Thanks

I'm the same and can confirm the USB port has the power to run the drive when the Macbook's running off mains power, although I don't know if that applies when it's on battery power.

New to MacBook and need so guidence

Hi Everyone!
I am gettinga mac book (early 2008) and wanted to know so information from you all if possible. It has 4GB of memory, which is the most you can get I hear, and it has a 120GB hard drive. Can that be upgraded? Intel Core 2 Duo is the processor-is that fast?? Can you upgrade a processor?? And I know that it is running OS 10.7.3 Lion. It already has installed Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 and Adobe Creative Suite5 Master Collection (Photoshop, Dreamweaver) so I hear I will be able to manipulate pictures, movies, and stuff.
I want this lap top for me and not have to share it with hubby and kids. I know that I will be using it for pictures and itunes and office work for myself. So if you all can tell me if this will be a good "Newbie Mac" computer to get.
Thanks Everyone!

You can do the hard drive yourself if you want, OWC has on-line videos of the install.
You could also consider an external drive instead...I bought one of OWC's Mercury Eliite Pro drives in September, 2 TB that I partitioned into 1.5 TB for Time Machine backups and 500 GB for a clone of the operating system and more storage space. Disk Utility, found in the Applications/Utilities folder, is very simple and easy to use.
If you go that route, just ask and many on here would be glad to walk you through it.
When I bought mine, it was something less than $200 for the drive, and just plugs right in.
So, one more thing for you to think about, it's all about more toys, more toys

How I copied all my Outlook Express data to my new Black MacBook

Hi there!
I just made the jump to the "Apple side" buying a shiny new Black Macbook, and having already got a lot of usefull information from this forum, I just wanted to give my little contribution...
Here follows how I managed to copy ALL my Microsoft Outlook Express messages, settings and accounts from my "old" PC to my new MacBook:
I just installed Mozilla Thunderbird on my PC and let the automated "import" function transfer all my data from Outlook Express; then I installed Thunderbird to the MacBook too (skipping all the setup procedures that start at the first run of the program).
Then, on the "PC side", I located the folder where all the Thunderbird profile data is stored: it is something like "xxxxxxxx.default" (in my case "voakmfhs.default") and is stored in "C:\Documents and Settings\Windows_User\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles"
So it was just a matter of copying all the "xxxxxxxx.default" folder from the PC to the Mac (on the "Mac side" just search for the "Thunderbird" folder and then open the "Profiles" subfolder where you have to copy all the stuff)
The last step is to edit the Thunderbird "profiles.ini" file on the Mac, replacing the name of default folder that was assigned during the installation (which you can safely delete), with the name of the one copied from the PC...
For any further question, feel free to ask
Hope this is of some help!
Ciao for now

New to Macbook. How do I remove external drives?

Hi there,
I am new to Macbook and cannot remember if I need to safety remove external devices. Can someone please advise me.
Thanks

To safely eject external drives, drag them to the Trash from the Finder (if they're on the Desktop) or, from a Finder window, use the 'eject' arrow next to the name of the drive in the Sidebar.
And, yes, you need to do it! Otherwise, you might suffer data loss.
Good luck,
Clinton

What defects should I look out for on a new C2D MacBook?

Hi all,
So, here's my Mac story. I've had macs for the past 4 years, I just like working on them when I have the option. When the new MacBook came out last Spring I immediately bought one, and then 3 returns laters, I got one that wasn't falling apart and was happy. Then the C2D came out, and I was antsy to upgrade. I know it was foolish but I talked myself into a MBP C2D. I got that, about 2 weeks ago and was very dissapointed in the display, grainy and all. So I talked to apple and they're taking it back. But here I am with no laptop again. SO I purchased a new C2D MacBook, and it arrives today.
So back to the question ... what defects with the new one should be on the look out for? It's difficult to figure out which MacBook people are talking about when they talk about their problems.
Thanks for the help

To be honest, you shouldn't be looking for any defects. There were some problems with a small percentage of the original MacBooks which have since been resolved and should not appear on the new Core 2 models. Get your MacBook and enjoy it. If you discover something is not working the way you feel it should, address it then. To be on the look out for problems that you may have heard others having is only going to make you worry and probably think you have found a problem where none may exist.

Does the new white macbook have enough juice for Logic Studio?

Hi
I am planning to buy the new white macbook and Logic Studio. The macbook has 2Ghz processor and 2GB ram. Will that be enough to run Logic effectively or do I need more power? I could afford to upgrade to 4GB ram but can't afford a Mac book pro or the 2.4Ghz processor macbook. I will be using an Edirol UA-20 audio interface.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That should be more than enough, although it of course also depends on what you are going to do with Logic. If you are going to use big sampled instruments, it is a good idea to go for 4 GB RAM.
The processors are powerful enough, about 2.5 times Logics' minimum requirement.

Moving HD from old white Macbook to new white Macbook

Hi all
I've hunted around Google but haven't found a conclusive answer to my problem.
I have a previous generation white Macbook. I put in a new hard disk (320g) sometime ago, and all works like a charm.
My wife finally wants to move from a pc to a mac. She is happy to have my current macbook, and for me to get a new white macbook. All good stuff.
So what I want to do is get a new white Macbook with the standard 160g HD because that is more than enough for her needs. All I'd need to do then is swap the HDs around.
BUT as I understand it, my HD's version of Leopard won't have all the drivers for the graphics card in the new white macbooks.
Can anyone help with a simple step by step guide to how I can put my HD into a new white macbook and get it working seamlessly? Is it even possible?
I've read something about swapping HDs and doing an 'archive and install', but I'm not totally clear on what I would be left with at the end of it.
I hope I've been clear. Happy to explain further if not, and would GREATLY appreciate any help.

All the options I can think of, while they could be accomplished with two drives, would be a great deal safer with a third drive used as an intermediate. This can be any external Firewire drive (desktop size is fine), with at least as much space as you have files on your current HD.
First, clone your current system to this third HD using Carbon Copy Cloner. Boot from it and make sure it's complete.
Then, swap the two Macbook drives. The new Macbook will now have the 320GB drive. Boot the new Macbook from its installation disk, run Disk Utility to wipe the drive, and install its system from scratch. When you first boot from this system, it'll ask you if you want to transfer information from a previous Mac. Attach the external HD through Firewire, and transfer your old files back.
Now, you'll need to wipe and reinstall the old Macbook's system on the 160GB drive.

New white macbook fails to connect to TV

hi there
ok so i have just bought the latest white macbook (the one with the latest graphics card and processor) and i have just tried to connect it to y TV and it comes up with no signal
now the thing is, that i previously had a black macbook, and would connext my mini dvi cable to it and connect it to my TV. i never had any problems with it what so ever. yet i try and plug it into my new white macbook and nothing comes up. thye have the same ports and everything and basically the same machine (other than it obviously being slightly faster) so i am bemused why it wont connect
i just replaced the ram with 4gb. could it be this?
any help would be great
cheers
matt

hi
ok so i have spoken to apple and figure i will let everyone know what they said as i feel this could be an issue for a few people who have just bought the new white macbook
they confirmed that the mini dvi-s video adapter no longer works, and that there is possibly 2 solutions
firstly, to use a mini dvi-dvi adapter, and then to connect the tv to this via a dvi to hdmi cable. HOWEVER they said that they were not 100% sure that this would work and suggested i go to a apple store first to have them test it out
secondly, they said to use a mini dvi-vga adtpter and connect this to the tv via a vga to s video cable. they said this should definately work
i am thinking the vga solution will be best for me because i will also be able to use it to connect to a projector screen. however i have heard that picture qulity can be an issue when connecting via a vga cable. does anyone know anything more about this?
i would like to go to the apple store to see some demos but live over an hour away. has anyone had this issue resolved or live close to an apple store to get some answers
any info would be great, and hopefully this helps a few people too
cheers
matt

HT3819 I have a new apple MacBook Pro. All my music is on my old computer and on my I-Pod. Can I use home sharing to transfer my music onto my new computer?

I have a new apple MacBook Pro. All my music is on my old computer and my i-pad. What is the easiest way to transfer my music onto my new
computer?

apps
If you have an iPod touch or iPhone with iOS 4 or later software, or an iPad, you can use iTunes to transfer files between your computer and an app on your device that supports file sharing.
You might want to do this if, for example, you want to save files you create on your device to your computer, or take files with you so you can use them when you’re away from your computer.
You don’t need to sync your device to transfer files, but your device needs to be connected to your computer.
For information about supported apps, see the documentation for your apps.
Hide
To transfer files from your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer:
Connect your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
In iTunes, select your device (below Devices), and click the Apps button.
Below File Sharing, from the list on the left, select the app on your device that you want to transfer a file from.
From the list on the right, select the file you want to transfer, and click “Save to.”
In the window that appears, select the destination where you want to save the file, and click Choose.
The file is saved to the selected destination on your computer.
SImport music and video already on your computer
If you have audio or video files on your computer, you can import them into iTunes so that they appear in your iTunes library.
Hide
Here are ways to add items from your computer to your iTunes library:
Drag a file or folder from the Finder to the iTunes window.
If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
In iTunes, choose File > “Add to Library,” locate a file or folder, and then click Choose.
By default, iTunes places a copy of each audio file in the iTunes folder (Home/Music); the original file remains in the current location. For information about adding an alias to the file (instead of creating a copy), see Add items to your library without copying them to your iTunes folder.

I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jd

Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jdk installed. I also try to install Java SE runtime but half way through the Software Update it says cant download software because of network problem but I'm connected to the internet and i can browse stuff just fine. Can any one help with my problems. P.S. I don't know the administrator password or stuff like that. And yes we are allowed to play games and stuff on these laptops but only at home not at school so don't tell me i need to focus on school and not games.

Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.

Windows 7 install and/or environment freezing on new 13" MacBook Pro

Hello! Long post, trying to give as much detail as I can... thank you in advance for your help on this!!
I think I posted in the incorrect forum earlier -- reposting here where it's more relevant.
I have a frustrating issue I've been battling all weekend. I can't seem to figure it out.
I'm trying to set up dual boot (Boot Camp) on my new 13" MacBook Pro, installing Windows 7. I've tried x64 (preferable) and x86. This is the mid-April 2010 13" MacBook Pro. C2D 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM, 250GB HD, nVidia 320M.
The problem I'm having is the machine is hard-locking. Sometimes it locks up during install (the 2nd phase, after it restarts and is "Completing Installation" (this step: http://spsexton.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/install-13.jpg). This makes me have to restart the installation completely, which is frustrating. Sometimes it locks up at the login screen. Sometimes it locks up once I'm logged in to Windows.
I have noticed that if the installation completes and I can get to the desktop, I can generally use it OK until I install the Boot Camp Drivers (3.1, from the 10.6.3 install DVD). I had a hunch and had also read that it may have to do with the nVidia drivers it installs, so I have tried uninstalling those prior to restart. It locks up anyway at restart (during login). Note that this generally is the case -- sometimes it locks up before I even get to the Boot Camp Drivers step. I sometimes can then get in to Safe Mode without it locking (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't), and I think I had some repeated errors in the Event Viewer that appeared erroneous (certainly not errors that should cause a hard lock) -- I can post these if needed when I get home from work this evening.
I was having consistent lockups during installation (at the "Completing Installation" step I mentioned above) when I'd let the Boot Camp Assistant set up the partition for me. I thought BCA might be doing something funny, so I set up the partition myself using Disk Utility then installed, and the install went in OK, however I still had it lock up after installing the Boot Camp Drivers.
Here's the steps I've been following:
1. Partition drive, either using Boot Camp Assistant or Disk Utility. Format to FAT if using Disk Utility.
2. Boot into Windows installer
3. Format drive to NTFS in installer
4. Install
5. Reboot
6. Complete install (often locks here as mentioned above)
7. If install completes, boot in to Windows
8. Change some system settings -- temp folders, workgroup name, pagefile size, turn off UAC
9. Reboot
10. Install Boot Camp Drivers from DVD (sometimes locks before I get here)
11. (have tried sometimes) Uninstall nVidia drivers installed by Boot Camp
12. Reboot
13. Consistent locks
14. Start over, both trying a new Partition creation (delete old, expand Mac partition, recreate new partition via BCA or DU), or using existing partition
Some other details:
1. This environment seems to work fine via Parallels. I only appear to have locking issues if I try to boot natively.
2. The Boot Camp Drivers installs a bunch of driver crud for devices the machine does not have. Could this be causing an issue? Drivers that Windows is attempting to load and failing, thus causing issues?
3. I'm mainly trying to install x64 due to the 4GB of RAM -- could this be an issue with the Boot Camp Drivers and Windows x64?
4. I don't think this is a motherboard issue as the machine is completely stable otherwise -- I'd think that if it was a hardware failure, especially with the motherboard, I'd see other issues elsewhere..
Any ideas??? I'm pulling my hair out on this one. The machine is brand new (just got it Tuesday last week, just started using it this last weekend). My last MacBook Pro (previous model 13" MBP) took Windows 7 without a single hitch and ran smooth as butter.
Help?

i just got some solution for this... dunno whether it will work for u all... anyone who got the same problem... try to press power button right on welcome screen after u type ur username and password.... or if u didnt put a password, u can press the power button right on the welcome screen... and then it will automatically to the lock state... and then u login again... the windows will appear... i work it on windows 7 64 bit... if u can login for that 1st time, for next time, u dont need to press the power button anymore... for me it works...
