Using Mini DVI How can I join a television network in work?

I am currently trying to connect my macbook to the network of TVs in one of the pubs that I work in, this is for video graphics within software I use to DJ (serato scratchlive). I have tried to link the Mini DVI to VGA to a VGA to s-video/Composite lead and get nothing on the screens but blurred black & white scrolling. I have linked up to the projector just using VGA extension leads and it works fine but there is no VGA input in the video matrix system that the bar use's. The current connection I have to use are; Composite & BNC. For now i'm just using the main dance floor projector but I need to be able to use all the screens and this has to go through the matrix. Anyone with a similar problem or if you know how I can get around this, any help would be gratefully received.

Hello All,
I had the same problem has everyone else on this forum and I had google the problem in question. I found tons of posting about the issue and saw many different solutions. Here are few link to other site with similar postings on the internet:
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r18562030-2Wire-2700HGS-Santa-Rosa-MacBook-Pro
Here are the common solutions I saw:
1. Use $ in front of the wep password
2. Use 0x or 0X in front of the wep password
3. Make the 2wire public
4. Change the 2wire channel to 7
5. Disable WEP key and use WAP
I have become an expert with wireless by end of this problem. I even learn how to heck the wep key. I even use a network monitoring tool to figure out what was going on with the issues. The bottem line is that the two vendor should work together to reslove these issues for end users. Apple and 2wire should come up with a soultion for all these users having issue with network connection. That's my 2 cent and professional opinion. They are selling a product that does work out of the box with each other product. You have to change setting many different way to reslove this issue base on the hardware models. And it's different for each situation.
I found that the security setting on 2wire and apple is not compatiable out of the box for my situation. I had to play with the authentication methods. I also found out, within my situation that Macbook Pro didn't not like WEP-Shared on 2wire. It wanted WEP-Open. In my case, the public with no security did not work from the get go. I had to reboot the MacBook using commandoption+PR and let it boot 3 times for the no security to work with 2wire.
anyways, have fun! This is very hard problem for your average Joe. You just have to make single change at time. Don't make too many chage to fix the issue.

My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more.

My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more. Was working while watching a movie but when I pulled it out from the computer and put it back in the system would no longer mirrorr the screen on the TV.

The best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be for FREE!

But does this delete the whole account from the cloud, or just from my device. I must make sure my husband doesn't loose all his business contacts which are in the iCloud device. Thanks.

You need to set up the accounts in System Preferences/Accounts, then activate Fast User Switching.
That way you can quickly log in to your own account - then back to his.
You should obviously have different passwords.

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM. My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore. Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc. I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads. Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system. I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system. But are there other options to connect the new TC. Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above. after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working. Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
Now a rant. I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work. The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network. Are we going backwards?
Thanks!

Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
I think this is mistaken.
Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC. the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
Thanks again!
You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

My wife and I each have an iPhone and an iPad Mini. We have separate iTunes accounts. She just finished reading a book on her iPad Mini. Now I want to read it on my iPad Mini. How can I get the book on my iPad Mini?

Thank you for your reply Domingo. Your suggestion worked as far as sending me a link to buy the book at iTunes. But it did not allow me to download the book from my wife's account. I did finally get an answer from Apple. It took an entire day of emailing back and forth and the final answer was relatively easy once Apple finally decided to give up the solution. Basically, you have to open ibooks and sign out. Then you have to sign into ibooks using the book purchaser's Apple ID and password. Then you can download the book onto your device. Not too bad, huh? It only took a whole day of Apple people sending me wrong instructions before they figured it out. Geez. What a disappointing experience.

Using Mini Dvi port as input

Okay I need your help guys. I have a 2008 Imac, which means it uses Mini-DVI output.
what i want to know is, can i use this as an input for my PS3 using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter so i can play PS3 on my imac display?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-Mini-DVI-HDMI-female-Adapter/dp/B004RZ2YXU/ref=sr_ 1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1311369816&sr=1-4
I also realise that Mini-DVI doesn't transmit sound so i will probably need a 3.5mm audio jack to red and yellow composite cable.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Stereo-Jack-RCA-Phono/dp/B001711TW4
Is this possible? i know it can be done easy on the 2010 imacs
Also i am not running Snow Leopard so will the F2 thing still work?

No, it can't. Only the Mini DisplayPort and Thunderbolt ports on the newer iMacs support input.

On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive, On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive

On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7pm bootcamp without an optical drive. I watch lots of football on sop cast and other such windows based programmes but can't work out how to do it.

Actually Windows can be installed and booted from an external drive if the drive is connected eSATA (external SATA), since the drive is treated as if it's an internal HDD. I used the same method previously to dual-boot from 2 different HDD instead of partitioning.
Most PC motherboards come with them as standard so it's pretty much plug and play but I don't recall seeing a recent Mac with eSATA connectivity though, so that might not be an option for you.

I have music on my iCloud that is not mine. How can I get rid of it?

I recently synced my ipad mini with my laptop and now there is music on my ipad which is not mine. How can I get rid of it and more importantly, how did it get there? Thanks

Tap Settings > iTunes & App Store
Tap the Apple ID then tap Sign Out then sign in with your Apple ID.
Perhaps you have more than one user account on your laptop and iTunes content was synced using another Apple ID from that account.

How can I Join song?

I want to create a slide show and not have the music loop. How can i join multiple track so they appear as one and then put it in my slide show?

You use "Join CD Tracks" from the Advanced menu when you are importing. The function doesn't work after the tracks have been imported: Adding Songs from CDs to your Library
If want to edit and splice tracks together you can download the free open source program Audacity which has Linux, Mac and Windows versions at this link: Audacity

Unfortunately, such option does not exist directly in Skype. However, if you are not afraid to use a SQLite database editor, you can try to delete this message from the chat database.

How can i join more than 20 tables which contains more than 5 lacks records

how can i join more than 20 tables which contains more than 5 lacks records

If you're trying to join 20 tables I would check:
- Are all the joins necessary. It's easy sometimes to just join to another table because you're unsure as to whether it's required.
- What sort of application is it? 20 joins seems a lot to me. Are you trying to achieve too much with one query? Is it possible to break the problem down?
- If it is necessary to join so many tables then force the use of hash joins in the query, especially if you're processing a lot of data and want the best throughput. If you want a quicker response, this will not be a appropriate.

How can I join up my home videos in order to see them together rather than in short bursts? IN SIMPLE TERMS PLEASE.

How can I join up my home videos in order to see them together, rather than in short bursts? In simple terms please?!

You can research into the iMovie app and see what it'll do. I'm afraid I've never used it. But I know it does have a section on this forum so maybe someone there can answer your question.
The only other way I can think of would be to get your files off your iPad and onto a computer and then get a video editing program (there are several that are inexpensive) and use that to put them together.

How can I join/merge audio in 1 step?

How can I join/merge audio in 1 step? Or... 2 in Logic X.
I want join all the audio in this track(image)

I see only three steps, and one of 'm (3.) should not be necessary unless you've created a take folder or folder track somehow?
In step 2. you are not joining tracks, but regions (on the track).
I do understand why Apple does not "fix" this: nothing's broken, that's why. If the Logic dev team would listen to all these "it's too complicated" complaints, Logic Pro would eventually end up being iTunes with a record button.
Two tips: learn the terminology (knowing the difference between tracks and regions, for starters) and use the search function in the manual. If that still doesn't get you anywhere, ask us.
Have a nice day!

Trying to update an app from appstore list,but requests a pass for an apple id that is not mine! how can it be?

The app must have been downloaded by somebody else that used their Apple ID on your iPad, since purchases are always tied to the ID that was used to make the purchase. Unless your iPad is glued to your side 24 hours a day and nobody has ever used the iPad but you, then anybody that has ever used your iPad could have done it.
