Using Apple Dvi-Composite adapter for playing S-video/Composite video on...

I was wondering if anyone has tried to use the DVI-Composite/S-Video adapter and instead of attaching it to a laptop, attached the DVI part to a monitor and then used composite/s-video out from a DVD/VCR player and hooked it up to the monitor direct? I have a 24" monitor that I was hoping to attach a DVD/VCR to and turn it into a tv.

DVI-HDMI Adapter for hooking up a HDTV...Few problems...

I have a spare 32" Sharp HDTV with HDMI, so I placed this next to my Mac Pro and used a DVI-HDMI adapter. Here are the problems:
With my standard GeForce 7300 GT you cannot use both connectors, as they are too close together - so I could not even test to see whether both DVI outputs can work at the same time. So I have to disconnect my 23" cinema display. Now, the Macpro recognizes the TV - in the display preferences - but the resolutions are not good - the only one that works is 1280x720. Other resolutions listed, ie, 1344x756 and higher are listed as interlaced and all cause flicker. This means I do not see the OSX top menus.
I wish to be able to show clients samples of edited movie clips on a HDTV both in FCP and standalone QT. I doubt that appleTV is the answer, as this only works in iTunes - plus, my Mac is next to my TV anyway.
Any thoughts on making this work better? I am trying to not have to buy a new video card. Maybe the Black Magic Intensity card for HDMI output is the answer?

I can live with the lower resolution - the TV is actually 1366 x 768, but the most annoying is not being able to use both DVD connectors on the card at the same time - they are too close together, how stupid is that?
Ideally, I would like to see both the cinema display and the HDTV running at the same time - or least not having to manually switch over the adapter at the rear.
I see no way around this, unless I change video cards but for $250 I can get the Black Magic HDMI card which outputs DV via HDMI to HDMI.

Apple digital AV adapter for the ipad 2 or a Apple TV

What should I get a Apple digital AV adapter for the ipad 2 or a Apple TV?
Wanna use it for showing photo and movies:)
thx

Assuming that you already have the iPad 2, you're looking at a $99 purchase versus as $39 purchase. Why to spend over twice as much on the AppleTV?
Another thing it would depend on is how often you plan to use the connection. If it's going to be an everyday constant thing where you're likely to find yourself wanting the surf but the iPad is connected to the TV (so you have to disconnect then re-connect each time), then maybe that will be enough of a hassle to get the AppleTV. If you only want to use it every now and again (like after renting a video from iTunes, or to share content when people come over), then you may just get the Digital AV adapter and be fine.
Actually, I just thought of a third option. You want the connection to be more convenient, but would still rather not have the AppleTV sitting there unused most of the time, you could add the iPad 2 dock for $29 which would be $69 dollars and you're still under the $99 of the AppleTV.
Oh, and one MORE thing to think about If you've got a computer connected to your network (that's connected to your media library) you may find that having the AppleTV is an easy way to get all that content to your TV, so it would be an additional benefit to the whole situation above and beyond just the iPad.
For me, I purchased the AppleTV, I have one stationary computer (a Mini) that serves all my music and videos that are in my iTunes library, plus an iPad which I can use as a remote control to control the AppleTV, or I can use AirPlay to push video/audio to the TV from any connected device. I like being able to freely switch between modes at any time without disconnecting and reconnecting cables and this setup allows that (also allows making my TV's sound system a broadcast station for all my music!)

Apple MagSafe Airline Adapter for MacBook and MacBook Pro

Does the Apple MagSafe Airline Adapter for MacBook and MacBook Pro work in cars to in the cigerete lighter and how does it work on a airoplane cause in airoplanes there is only a mike connection thats about it ?

This is an alternative solution that works great for me. I always carry a small and lightweight DC to AC converter with me in my case when I'm on the road. It's a Wagan Tech Smart AC 100 USB that I picked up at Costco for under 20 bucks. 100 watt capability and allows me to use all my electronics and chargers on the road. I can use it to charge the cellphone, laptop, ipod, etc.
Even includes a USB port on the side for charging USB based products and also includes the aircraft adaptor (and of course a cigarette lighter adaptor) and everything fits into a small cloth bag (included).
http://www.wagan.com/htmls/detail-2382.html
The link is for the newer 120 watt version but it looks identical otherwise. If you don't have access to Costco then check the link provided for either direct purchase or the availability of other resellers. There's a "where to buy" tab at the top of the screen. Cheers!
P.S. I just noticed that you are from the U.K. I'm sure this will still work as your MacBook charger should autoswitch down to 110v input, you'll just need to make sure you have the North American plug installed. If not, I'm sure there are similiar DC to AC adaptors available in the U.K. Hope that helps!

Restore the phone using iTunes. First time restore your backup. If the problem is not fixed restore again, and this time set up as New.

Can i use my macbook pro adapter for my air

Hello i have a few macbooks and wanted to check if I can use macbook pro 13 inch power adapter to charge my new macbook air 13 inch?

"Power adapters for Intel-based Apple portables are available in 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. Although you should always use the proper wattage adapter for your Apple portable, you can use an adapter of a higher wattage without issue.
For instance If you have a MacBook (13-inch Late 2009) that normally uses a 60W adapter, you can also use an 85W adapter with that computer. You would not use a 45W adapter with that computer; it would not provide enough power for that MacBook. Using an adapter of higher wattage than the adapter that came with the computer will not cause the computer to charge more quickly or otherwise operate any differently than using the adapter that came with the computer.

Apple digital av adapter for ipad 2

Yes.

No, only audio streaming is possible with apps that support audio playback of video content in background (e.g., the stock YouTube client). As soon as you tap the Home button, display mirroring kicks in. (On the iPad 1, where there's no mirroring, the stream pauses.)

Nope.

Yes (assuming you have a quality HDMI cable), and with videos over XGA resolution (the iPad 2 only has an XGA-resolution screen), even better.

Which codec is needed for playing vp6 videos in Windows 7 (32 bits)?

I'm still trying to solve the media corrupted error, could you recommend me a codec for Windows 7 (32 bits) for playing vp6 videos?
Perhaps I'm not using the correct codec...
Thanks!
Noelia

Thanks for your answer, I'm doing this question here because I have Media problems with my JAVAFX 2.0 application since october.
I posted many questions about the error "media corrupted" and I couldnt get an answer for my problem. My application change videos all the time and I'm trying to solve the error.
I think that I was wrong choosing JAVAFX 2.0 because it's too new. I have to finish my app because my client is waiting...
I don't know what to do, I spent lot of time... I tested a lot of codecs and the problem persists. I hate vp6 videos.
Thanks

How can i change the default application to vlc player for playing any videos on my macbook?

How can i change the default application to vlc player for playing any videos on my macbook?

1. Control click the file you want to open.
2. Click Get Info.
3. Under open with, pick the App you want to be default.
4. Click Change All Button.
5. Confirm your decision.
You have to do this with every file that has a different extension. You can't change the default for every file with a different extension in a single operation.

Anyone able to play Amazon Instant Video using Apple Digital AV Adapter

Amazon just released the Amazon Instant Video app for the iPad July 31, 2012. Version is 1.0
It's not a great app yet. I can get it to play on the iPad (by itself). When I hook up the iPad to the TV using the Digital AV Adapter, the app gets very unstable, crashes at times, doesn't load shows....basically doesn't work. Virtually everything else on the iPad displays fine on the TV using the adapter. I've tried Safari, Netflix, and a couple of games just to see if the problem was with the iPad or the app. The problem is with the app.
I emailed Amazon support via feedback within the app, and got responses back similar to this:
"I'm so sorry for the trouble you facing with the Instant videos which you want to play on TV.
I understand now a days all the TV's are HDMI connected but I assure you that we are working for the improvements required on this field.
The Amazon Instant Video app for iPad does not support playback on HDMI-connected TVs.
Customer feedback like yours helps us continue to improve the service we provide. I've forwarded your feedback to our Amazon Instant Video team for consideration as we make future improvements."
I find it hard to believe they designed it to not work that way-I replied and asked them if it was...have not heard back yet.
Has anyone been able to view Amazon Instant Video on their TV from an iPad ? If yes, how did you do it.?

<"The makers of the app tell you it does not work that way, you think they are lying to you?">
Where did you read that the app doesn't support this? Their app description says it does not support AirPlay. I'm not using AirPlay. It doesn't mention anywhere that it doesn't support iPads connected to TVs with HDMI, except in a support email response back to me.
With the iPad hard wired to the TV with the Apple Digital AV Adapter and an HDMI cable, on all of the other apps I've tried, the TV mirrors the iPad display. Even the few free games I tried would do this. This app falls apart when you hook up the HDMI to the iPad. To me that's a bug. I find it hard to believe that they designed it to not put out compatible digital video from the iPad. I would rather have seen their email response say that this is a known bug and that they are working on a fix. Maybe they are just beginning to understand the issues with version 1 and told the poor people answering the support emails to just say that it's not supported.
I'm not particularly upset with them, as it is v1.0 of a free app. It's got plenty of other shortcomings. I was hoping that it would work somthat we could take advantage of the Amazon Prime stuff we're paying for without having to go out and buy another set top box or Blu-ray player that was compatible with their stuff.
I would have gladly paid some money for a well designed app. Wish they had gone that route.

Can I use Apple DVI to Video Adapter to import video to my macbook pro?

I was wondering if i could use the Apple DVI to Video Adapter to import videos from my camcorder that don't have usb or firewire but have a S-video. to my laptop? and import them to iMovie

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you mean without internet, then yes, providing it isn't a purchased video (The Apple TV may need to verify authorisation). If you mean without a network, then no.

DVI to ADC Adapter for GeForce 6800 video card?

Do I need DVI to ADC Adapter for Nvidia GeForce 6800 which I just installed on my G5 to be able to run ADC 23" Cinema off the GeForce 6800 card?
I want to run a new 30" Cinema and old ADC 23" Cinema from GeForce 6800. I ran the old 23" from the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
Thanks,
Milan

Hi Milan,
If the Geforce 6800 does not have an ADC output, then yes, you do.
You need to check to see whether or not that the card has DVI-I output, as some of the DVI to ADC adaptors use a DVI-I plug which will not fit into a DVI-D output due to the extra pins in the plug.
Cheers!
Karl
