Old MacMini 2006 and New Samsung LCD 2010 TV

I am NOT tech-savvy.
I want to purchase a new MacMini, but want to use my
old Mac Mini in some fashion.
What will this do for me if I somehow connect it to my
newer TV?

When you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI. But check your TV manual to see if it has audio plugs that work with one of the HDMI ports.
With the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.

If you need to extract the drive's content you can remove it and install it in a $10 USB enclosure. It will be readable by any recent Mac.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the link to download Acrobat 9 Standard? I found the link to download 9 Pro but not standard. Old computer crashed and new computer does not have a CDR/DVD rom drive.

Hi,
Standard or Pro would be licensed through your serial number, the download link and downloaded file would be the same for both of them.
Pro or Standard would be determined after you put in your serial number.
Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
Thank You

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Connecting my old iMac G4 to my Samsung LCD TV

I have an iMac G4. The monitor went out years ago and I have been using an external monitor via the display port and adapter. The resolution on the iMac is set to the highest available on the display preferences. The monitor has always worked fine; however, I thought I would connect the iMac to my Samsung LCD TV (it's a few years old - 5 Series 1080). When I connect it to my TV via the "PC" connection option and select "PC" as the source, I see the splash screen (gray), but when the OS boots my TV says "Mode not supported." Anyone have any sage advise for me . . . I would love to utilize my old iMac for renting movies from iTunes.

TVs have very specific resolutions, and your iMac predates widescreens in anything but movie theaters. So long story short, since your iMac can only mirror your built-in (well, attached in the case of the G4 models) you basically have a choice. Either the monitor runs at a resolution the TV can support, which is probably going to be 720x480, you get a special converter box, or you just come to the conclusion most do, and decide it's really just not worth the effort.
If you had one of the newer iMacs where it's either a native 16:9 resolution or you could at least set an independent resolution, this would be much easier. As it is, you're pretty much screwed, sorry.

Connecting Macbook to new Samsung LCD

Apologies if its been asked before but I cant figure out the technical mumbo jumbo
I have a C2D Macbook with Leopard and now want to connect it to my new Samsung 26 LCD to watch videos which have been stored on my mac.
I know I have to buy a chord for that (which one) but will the picture quality be okay? The Samsung model is LA26A450C1 and it has a resolution of 1366 x 768. Do I have to plug it in AV or HDMI and is my LCD compatible with the macbook?
Again, sorry for such a basic question.

You have three optional adapters to get the video signal out of the MacBook through the built-in mini-DVI port:
mini-DVI to DVI, chained with an additional DVI to HDMI adapter/cable, for the best digital signal. (recommended option)
mini-DVI to VGA, for an analog signal with a VGA/Dsub15 computer monitor cable.
mini-DVI to Video (either S-Video or Composite) for an analog signal, usually for PAL or NTSC equipment.
you will also need to run an audio cable from the little headphone jack on the MacBook to a AUX line-input on your stereo or TV.

Connecting my Macboook late (2008) to my new samsung LCD TV

So I have a aluminum unibody macbook late (2008) and Im trying to connect it to my new samsung TV. I purchased the hdmi cords along with the hdmi adapter to plug into my macbook. I can get the display to show on the TV, but the sound is missing from the hdmi port. I also tried using an RCA cord for the audio, but the sound only works on the tv if i dont switch the source to hdmia and just leave it on TV. It's as if the hdmi and the audio are kept separate. Does anyone know how I could get it working?

When you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug.

Displays in System Preferences blank with new Samsung LCD

On my G4, which has an ATI Rage Pro 16 MB AGP card and an ATI Rage PCI card installed, I now get a blank displays control panel since connecting a new Samsung SyncMaster 730b monitor to either card. The second monitor is a Gateway EV700. If I disconnect one monitor, I get the displays panel back, as soon as I reconnect and restart, it is blank again. I obviously cannot rearrange monitors, although I can change resolutions in my displays icon in the menu bar.
I purchased the AGP card and installed it after installing OS 10.3.9, although when I had an old Apple 720 monitor connected the displays panel worked fine. I have tried connecting the Samsung with both a DVI and a VGA cable (has both options) and nothing works to fix the problem.
Short of re-installing the OS, does anyone know a fix?
G4 500 MHz (AGP graphics) Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thanks Grant.
I tried this as well, still no luck though, I still get a blank panel.
I took a chance and put the ATI Displays software on the machine, and still the displays panel is blank. The ATI cards still see the monitors and identify them correctly in the ATI control panel installed in system prefs.
At this point I think I just have to live with it, or try installing Tiger, which I have been contemplating. I am a little hesitant though as Tiger hogs a bit more ram and is a larger installation; plus the G4 is an old machine and other than this problem runs everything very well.

How to synchronise Mac and new Samsung i8510?

Hallo, I have a new Samsung i8510. When i try to synchronise it, iSync says "This device is not supported by iSync". What to do? Just waiting? Thank you.

It's a shame you didn't check for Mac compatibility before purchasing, as unfortunately, there's no sync support for this phone on the Mac.
It's highly unlikely that Apple will support this phone in a future iSync update. The unusual S60 over Symbian OS is not directly supported by iSync.
Your only hope is for either Samsung to release their own iSync Plugin (which they've done a few other models, although not ones running that OS combination) if it's possible, or for Mark/Space to add support for this phone in their recently released Missing Sync for Symbian, again if its possible.

Old Apple TVs and new Macbook

I have 3 gen 1 apple TVs and a new MacAir. It works fine for sharing movies, but I can no longer access the disk space on my apple TVs to erase movies or add movies. I take my laptop to work everyday, so my kids cannot watch new content when I am gone. How do I regain access to the hard disk space on these apple tv models and erase old movies and put the new ones on so they can be watched when my computer is at work.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your library may have been changed from a (primary) custom syncing library to an automatic syncing library or to a (secondary) streaming library. See this.
To revert to a custom syncing library from an automatic syncing library, simply check the 'Custom Sync' radio button under the summary tab in iTunes.
To revert to a primary library from a secondary library, disconnect from the Apple TV (Settings/Computers/Your_Library) and reconnect again (Settings/Computers/Connect_to_iTunes) - You will need to re-sync previously synced content.

My old mac crashed and new hard drive has new Pages on it but I cannot open any documents. Says to save on 09, I had 08 but it crashed when the computer crashed. Now what?

Open with new Pages and it says my documents are too old, must be opened and saved in 09, but I don't have 09, just fragments of 08 from my crashed hard drive. What do I do now?

Do you still have your installer DVD?
Reinstall iWork '08 and upgrade it to v3.03:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?t=432&mforum=iworktips ntrick
Then open your documents and Export them to Word .doc/x to open in Pages 5.2.
You can also ask Apple to supply you with iWork '09 so you can access your work.
If that is unsuccessful, since Pages 5.2 is a severe downgrade, missing 110 features, get the iWork '09 boxed set from Amazon for $19.99.

Old outlook file and New one...Same Job, different computer.

Hey Everyone -
I got kind of a unique situation (I think?) that I couldn't find an answer for.
My old work laptop (just for work email) had a graphic card meltdown and so I had to purchase a new computer. I was able to pull the hard drive out of it and salvage everything, including the outlook file.
Now on my new pc, when I set up my email (POP3) that is linked to some webmail website, I have everything that was online (at that website) in my current outlook.
I was thinking I could just take my old outlook file (7gb worth), bring it into outlook and combine them but I had no such luck. The other issue is, its still referencing the old outlook file off the old hard drive I have and it happens to be the same
exact name as the new one because its my name @ company name.com
Is there anyway to combine them or maybe even just import the new one, and THEN link it to the website?
Here's some screen shots:
They won't let me post screen shots.... If I can get "verified" I'll post them up...
Thanks!
AJ

What happens when you try to combine them? How did you try to combine them?
Copy the pst file to your new pcs hard drive. It can go in any folder - backing it up is easier if its in My Documents - rename it if the new data file has the same name. Open it in Outlook using File, Open, Outlook Data file. You could set it as default
and move all of the mail that arrived in the new pst into the old one or you can use both pst files.
