New white MB connects to Philips 23PF5320 TV: works OK but .......

...the tool bar up top is clipped out (I can guess what to do. It's there just cannot see it}. The video is excellent.
My connection is miniDVI to DVI on the television. I am waiting for a miniDVI to VGA to see if that makes a difference.
I saw several posts from other users of the same Philips TV but I don't remember anyone else mentioning this clipping problem.

Overscan originated with standard TVs where people did not like to have empty and noisy edges. So only the central 90% was shown by increasing the deflection. TV studios typically underscan the picture to be sure there is not a problem at the edges.
New TVs will often have a control to adjust this and often it is only a two-way setting.
As you will be going digital to digital, there may be blurring of the edges if you get a poor match. I find it get a great match of my white early-2009 MacBook to my 56" 1920x1080 LED DLP. It is not a copy but a separate output from the graphics card. You can read spreadsheet text even. It is either a separate screen or you can mirror the MB screen--not sure of the resolution change then--away from home. Mirroring is easier to control the cursor.

    Hi. I have set up the trial versions of Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5.6 (ie the Photography plan) on a desktop that I have added a new drive to with Windows 7. Everything works fine BUT it is an old computer and I'm thinking that it may pack up unexpectedly. These things happen. I want to sign up for the Photography plan but I also have a Windows Vista laptop, and that is old too so I may want to put the apps on a new desktop and a new laptop, having already installed on my desktop. That makes three activations. Am I allowed to do this? Cheers. Paul

    You cannot have three activations. It's simply not technically possible. If and when the time comes, you simply deactivate/ sign out on one of the old systems and install on the new one. If the system goes belly up, you contact support to reset your account. No need to make it more complicated than that and overthink it.

    I bought a new mac.  My old creative suite design standard works well but acrobat reader 8 doesn't accept the serial number.
    Please, is there any methods do make this?
    All is right with my subscription. I just install the suite one time on my old mac.
    Thanks

    Was the FCS on your old machine an upgrade? You will need to enter your original, full version serial first, and then you will be prompted for the upgrade serial number.
    Hope this helps.

  • New AEBS installed, Vonage initially worked fine, but now is not.

    I recently upgraded my home network, ditching the Linksys WRT54G router I had in favor of a new Airport Extreme Base Station. everything has been working fine, but all of a sudden I noticed that my Vonage adapter wasn't connected and was spitting out error 001.
    The Vonage adapter is plugged into a 10/100 hub that's uplinked to one of the LAN ports on the AEBS (I know it's a waste, but nothing on that segment is gigabit capable…)
    I launched into full troubleshooting mode, and determined that the cabling, hub and AEBS are all functioning perfectly. I also don't think that it could be a port forwarding issue, since several days passed between the time I swapped in the AEBS and the time when the Vonage adapter stopped working. In that time, several incoming and outgoing calls took place over the Vonage line and all was fine.
    On a whim, I connected the Vonage adapter to a laptop and set it up with a static IP and attempted to configure port forwarding to it in the AEBS, but there was no change. Incidentally, with the static IP on the Vonage adapter, I was able to ping it from other computers on the network, but it still isn't able to download it's config from the outside world.
    Vonage tech support has been willing to help, but unable to tell me anything useful thus far.
    My question is, is anyone here using such a setup, and if so have you seen any issues like this? I'm really thinking that the adapter has given up the ghost, but I don't know.

    To help you with your troubleshooting you should visit https://forums.vonage.com/
    I had Vonage. Initially it worked then I had tremendous voice dropouts. After weeks of troubleshooting with Vonage (they rolled back firmware in their adapter) it worked... for about 6 months. Then the same problem reappeared. Troubleshooting with Vonage could not solve the issue this time. Since I had to have phone service, I cancelled Vonage and went to ITP. Unfortunately Vonage stuck me with cancellation fees even though their service would not work for me.

  • HT4157 My iPad. Oonnects to other wifi it used to connect to my work wifi but it will. Not connect now what is work I am connected with my iPhone but iPad will. Not connect or it says safari can not open page

    I can connect my iPhone to my work wifi but when I try to connect my IPad it will not connect. It says safari can not open page.  What's up with that I have used IPad connected to work wifi before

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • 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

  • How's is the new White Unibody Macbook display?

    I can get a great deal on the new white unibody macbook. I was wondering how it compares to the 13 in MBP?
    I am more concerned with the display. Are they equal? Or is the same display as the previous ALUM 13 Macbook?
    BB

    I was wondering how it compares to the 13 in MBP?
    FireWire is a "Must Have" for a lot of users. Spend about $175 more for the Macbook Pro, with FireWire 800/400. Then you will be "Unstoppable"!
    The Firewire port is a faster way of connecting devices to your Mac, such as hard drives, video and audio equipment. A Firewire connection also allows you to boot into Target Mode, which basically turns your machine into a hard drive.
    Target Mode allows users connect their Mac to another Mac, to access the files on the machine in Target Mode. You can also re-image or Install software on computers, using various Software Utilities through the use of Target Mode and Firewire.
    
Many peripherals are Firewire ONLY. 

When you have a mac (with Firewire) that will not boot it will most often still work in target disk mode making it possible to either fix the harddrive or at least back it up.

    I am more concerned with the display
    My advice here is to buy from someone that will let you return it if you are not happy. Some have complained of a yellow tint in various displays.

  • New white macbook, no external display option !

    I recently got my white macbook replaced with a new one. My old white macbook was great, once i pluged in my mini-vga adaptor to my macbook i hooked it up to my tv, when into display settings and set it appropriatly. Now i got a new white macbook. I plug my mini vga adaptor in, put it to the AV channel on my tv and nothing. And when i go into my macbooks display settings theres no arrangment feature! theres nothing for external displays at all ! Whats happened?!

    I downloaded that - when i click on This Mac it simply says "This Mac Model Can Not Be Found, Please Check You Have The Most Up To Date Version Of Mactracker". Then when i search for updates it says i have the most up to date version. Bahumbug! Useless!
    I've not been having a good relationship with technology lately at all! Obviously my adaptor is now useless, and unless I have a plasma/LCD TV or a new computer monitor, I'll have to deal with not having any ability to hook this up to my television. That was a feature I used on a regular basis.
    Im getting more and more frustrated - I had the opportunity to buy the new Aluminum macbook but it didn't even have a firewire connection which i rely on for my home studio, so i settled for this lesser spec'd white macbook which now also can't do the TV-out function i used regularly. Brilliant.

  • New Infinity Upgrade Connection - Again More Probl...

    I regraded my ADSL2 to Infinity 80/20 (Busines) a couple of days go. Was estimated to get 56 download and 18 upload, so chose the Infinity 80dl/20ul. At installation we got 30mb download which was quite a way short of what we was expecting!!
    Have had problems with it dropping out and demanding new usernames etc.
    BT sent an engineer out yesterday to check it, but he admitted he was actually a telephony engineer and not broadband trained!!! GO FIGURE!
    He was very nice and spent hours on it but couldnt offer much resolution.
    At one point he spoke to technical dept, and they said it could be that the Business hub 3 may be incompatible!!!!! AGAIN-GO FIGURE!!
    One curious thing is that it has period where it refuses to work, giving just 0.3 - 0.7mb speed!!, BUT, if you turn off the router, then reboot it................
    run a speedtest when the Broadband light is still ORANGE, i get speeds of 50mb-80mb !!!!!!!
    As soon as the broadband light turns from orange to blue, the speed hits a brick wall, drops to 15mb - 30mb!
    Also i usually use a simple gigabit ethernet switch (8port) from the GigE socket of the Business hub 3, then plug the pcs etc into that and its always worked great, but since we went infinity you cant connect through the switch?
    Any Suggestions!!
    Have tried calling BT - WAITED 2hr 15min to be answered only for the lady to tell me that 30mb way the best id get, even though there own tests suggested 56mb, and i have had speedtests show 50-80mb, but only when the Broadband light is Orange!!
    She basicaly said its better than what you had on ADSL and thats that!!
    I pointed out that i had opted for a 80/20 Infinity, but if i was only going to get 30 then i should be on the 40/10, but she said i should change as it could effect my speed!!, even though she said the max i would get would be 30mb!, it makes no sense at all.
    I also questioned the fact that the original engineer that intalled the infinity mentioned that it was on a '40mb bearer' or '40mb pair' or something like that. When i pointed out that i had gone for the 80mb not the 40mb, he just said that he only does what the laptop tells him, and i would have to ring up.
    I called, they just said that ' you should be on a 80mb connection', i pointed out i knew full well that i had asked for an 80mb, and that i was paying for an 80mb connection, but could they tell me why the engineer said it was a 40mb, and can someone actually physically check it!
    She didnt know!
    I asked the engineer the same thing about if i was on a 40mb or 80mb connection, and he said it seems i could be on a 40, which would explain the much slower than expeted speeds, but he didnt know how to check it physically as he is not a broadband engineer!
    ALL BT STAFF JUST KEEP SAYING THEY JUST DONT KNOW!, BUT TRY TO FOBB ME OFF BY SAYING, ITS MUCH BETTER THAN YOUR PREVIOUS ADSL
    I think its all shocking, and im really considering cancelling the planned upgrades of the other 2 ADSL line to Infinity.
    IF ANYONE CAN HELP, PLEASE TRY!!
    PLEASE HELP ANYONE

  • How to connect a Philips fidelio to airport extreme?

    I just purchased an Airport Extreme Time capsule. I cannot connect my Philips fidelio AD7000W to the network. There are no WPS button on the Airport Extreme. There is a WPS printer connection option in the Aiport app menu option but nothing for sound system. Anyone knows how to make the connection ?

    Instructions on how to connect the Fidelio to a non-WPS supported router is covered in the User Guide starting on page 13. On step 4 you would enter the specifics for your wireless network. That would be the network name, the wireless security type & wireless password. You will also want to choose the DHCP mode as enabled for these speakers.

  • Is there ANY way to do S-Video or composite TV out on the new white MB?

    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9319G/A (read the small text)
    Apparently the mini-DVI to Video adapter doesn't work with the newer white MacBooks now.
    I hope there is some way to do TV-out to an older TV that only has S-video and RCA composite inputs. Is there? Not all of us have high end TVs with DVI or HDMI inputs.
    Getting quite frustrated.
