Using Monster iTV Link to connect to 42" Plasma

I have a 12' G4 iBook bought in October 2003.
I want to use the Monster iTV Link cable to play DVDs from te iBook and display them through my Panasonic Viera 42" Plasma TV.
Are there any issues I should be aware of, or is this a straightforward
process?
Any advice at all would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kieran

Check out the resolution of your plasma. As i can assume it is wide screen... Also try to connect it via regular monitor cable. Besides this adapter goes with your laptop. It will be much better. DO NOT FORGET THAT YOUR iBook IN STANDARD MODE COULD WORK WITH EXTERNAL TV OR MONITOR IN MIRRORING MODE ONLY. To unlock possibility to work in extended desktop mode you could use SSD (Screen Spanning doctor). Suggesting you to use it as resolution of your laptop monitor and plasma is different.
Ask if something is not clear.

Monster ITV Link

HI guys
after seeking advice from apple over the phone as to the best way to connect my macbook to my TV they advised I get a Monster ITV Link cable with a scart adapter. The picture displays by using this but in black and white, is there anything I can do?
Thank you for your help

hey there & welcome to Discussions.
i have a Monster iTV link w/ miniDVI> S-video. also has a 1/8" stereo mini plug to stereo RCA plugs. 10 foot cable made for a 12" P'Book G4. works. has come in handy.

IPhone 32 GB 3GS TV output with Monster iTV Link

I have used my Monster iTV Link cable http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=3897 to connect my 80GB 5th generation ipod (through the dock port on the bottom) to my Chevy Avalance's AUX Video input via left, right audio and video plug. When using my old ipod and selecting a video it will automatically ask for "TV out" on or off. I switch it to "TV on" and my ipod plays through the cable into my AUX Video input with great video and audio quality in my vehicle. I tried the exact same thing using my new iphone 32GB 3GS and nothing happens. It does not ask to select "TV on" It plays through the iPhone speakers as if it wasn't connected to anything.
When using the mini jack input from my 5th generation iPod and my new iPhone 3GS into the vehicle AUX audio jack input the result is the same. Both play through the vehicle speakers. However, the mini jack audio quality is noticeably inferior to the dock port on the bottom of the devices.
Why don't both play through the AUX video input?
I tried changing the settings in my iPhone (NTSC & PAL) with no luck?
The website for Monster says the cable is for "iPod Video" is it possible the cable is not iPhone compatible?
How do I get my new iPhone to play through the bottom dock port to my left right audio, video, input?

Older video cables are not compatible with the iPhone. The Apple A/V cables are:

Monster iTV Link for Macbook- Mini-DVI ports different...

I have been watching movies etc. on my TV through my 14" G4 iBook for the last year using the Monster iTV Link with the mini-DVI end. I recently bought a Macbook and expected to do the same with it, but the mini-DVI ports are a different shape!
I have scoured the internet for some information on different mini-DVI ports but have come up short. Can someone explain why Apple would install a different mini-DVI port on the Macbook? Or not install an S-video?
Regardless of why they did this, I now need a new adapter or Monster needs to make a new iTV Link cable for Macbook. Has anyone seen an iTV link for Macbook? Is there one out there I can use?
I am assuming my other option is to buy the mini-DVI to video adapter, use the audio part of the Monster cable I currently have and get a S-Video cable. However before I acquire more cables and adapters...
Can someone confirm that the the Mini-DVI end of the Mini-DVI to Video adapter is the correct shape (version) for the MacBook.
THANKS

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It would appear the Monster guy is confused what cable you got. The iTV cable I bought up on Google has the standard round-din S-Video connector found on 15" and 17" Powerbook G4s of the same generation, but I don't think that is found on the 12" Powerbook. What you need is a DVI to S-Video connector to hook up the iTV cable from all indications.
This may be what you are looking for:

Monster iTV Link for 13-inch MacBook and 12-inch PowerBook

Does anyone knows or the Monster iTV Link for 13-inch MacBook and 12-inch PowerBook even work with the imac intel-based mini-dvi port?

I went with the crucial 512 SSD. It will push your budget just a tiny bit more as with tax and shipping it came to about $834 but oh man what a difference this makes! My MBP sprang to life with this SDD... Everything simply pops open instantly.
www.crucial.com
On transferring, I suggest the following:
Get a copy of SuperDuper
Buy an external case for your internal drive.
Install SuperDuper on your current HD (before swapping)
Perform the HD/SSD swap, so your SSD is in the MBP, your HD is now in the external case.
Plug in the external HD and power up holding down option. You should be presented with a choice of boot drives (DVD and your external). Boot off your external. Once OS is loaded, use Disk Utility to format and initialize your SSD. BECAREFUL that you initialize the SSD and NOT the external HD!!!
Now run SuperDuper, clone from the external to the internal SSD. It might take an hour or so to do this. When complete. Power down, disconnect the external and reboot. If you've done everything right your computer should come up on the SSD but basically will look exactly like your old drive.
You're good to go. Use it a few days and make sure everything is good, then you can format your external and use it for general purpose storage!
I'm not sure this will work on the 13" but these guys: www.mcetech.com make a bracket that you can remove your internal DVD and install your old HD inside. This way you have your SSD + your old HD installed at all times. You move your DVD to an external case. I did this in my MBP 15 so now I have basically a 1 TB laptop. My main drive is the SSD but for storage of stuff I don't use all the time I have the HD which is also 512gb. Pretty cool. For me I didn't use the internal DVD that much so having it in an external case was just fine.

Monster iTV Link Cable

hey there all,
just been reading some posts & thought i'd pass this along. i've been using a Monster Cable to connect my MacBook to my Olevia 26" 16:9 LCD HD monitor/TV. it's the iTV Link cable for the old 12" PowerBook, which also had video out over a mini-DVI connector. the cable is 10 feet long, has a mini-DVI + 1/8" stereo plug on the Mac end & an S-Video + 2 RCA plugs on the TV end. i've set my MacBook for extended desktop & use the external monitor w/ Final Cut Express to display the Canvas. i know it's not the greatest for "real serious work" but to be able to be in bed & work on a project from an external FW hard drive as opposed to going downstairs & firing up the "Big Mac" it's pretty cool, also for watching a DVD on the bigger screen. & once i set the extended desktop it's easier to work in FCE as opposed to sending signal over firewire to my cam/deck then to a TV, because the MacBook sees the TV as 2nd computer display(it shows the desktop wallpaper). the TV is set as follows: resolution 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz(NTSC), millions of colors. the TV is also set @ fullscreen from it's menu. the MacBook is set @ max native resolution 1280 x 800, millions of colors.
i got 2 cables from CompUSA($15.00/ea.) less than 1/2 the original list price. probably because there are no more 12" P'Books & they think they have no market for them & want to get 'em out of inventory. iTV Link cable might also work for MacBook presentations using a Projector.
hope this helps someone.

IPhone TV out w/ iTV Link Monster Cable

Purchased the Monster Cable iTV Link, how do I set my iPhone to use this for watching my movies on my TV? I cannot find any info in the user manual. Please help.

Yes, that is what you need (they also sell a similar, component out cable. I have both of them and they work great).
If you feel like spending another $50 (g) you might want to consider the universal dock as well:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=5B5 90630&fnode=standard/home/shopipod/ipod_accessories/cablesdocks&nplm=MB125G/A
When you plug in the composite video cable to this and then dock your iPhone you can control the playback via the supplied remote. It only does stop/start and FF FB, but it's still very handy for controlling what you see from across the room. It's also easier to simply dock the phone rather than try and connect the composite cable to it.
I bought two of them to pair with my composite and component cables, and it's very very cool to watch videos from your phone on a large TV (I have one connected to a 38" TV and the picture is every bit as good as DVD). The slideshow also works, along with YouTube (but nothing else, so don't think you can simply view Safari through this).

Monster cable itv link

Hi
I was just wondering if I can use the MonsterCable iTV Link wire to connect my MacBook to a television like I used to do with my iBook G4 14"? Do I need some sort of adapter?
Thanks.

Hi.
I have problems with connecting the cable.
The cable i have used to connect straight into the audio jack and mini-VGA (as I've learned here) of my iBook. which looks like this:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/2b/Mini-VGA.jpg/300px-Mini-VGA. jpg
My MacBook has a port, but I understand it is a mini-DVI port like in this picture
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Kobushi-mini-dvi.jpg/30 0px-Kobushi-mini-dvi.jpg
So I guess I need some sort of mini-VGA to mini-DVI adapter.

Using database link to connect to two databases

Hi guys,
Here's my question. I need to give a contractor Select rights on tables located in two schemas located on two different servers. One server is dev and one is prod. Let's say we have schema user: EMPLOYEE on dev and schema user: DEPARTMENT on prod. The outside contractor needs select rights on all tables in DEPARTMENT schema but only needs select on a few tables ( 4 to be exact) from EMPLOYEE schema.
My initial train of thougth is: CREATE a user named: TEST (random name of course, just used for an example) for contractor on prod. Give user TEST select rights on all tables in DEPARTMENT schema.
Create database link to dev server so user TEST can access EMPLOYEE schema.
How do i go about limiting the user TEST via the database link to only view the 4 tables from EMPLOYEE instead of all teh tables?
Should I also consider doing this scenario in reverse? Creating user TEST on dev, giving TEST rights to the 4 tables in EMPLOYEE, then creating the database link to connect to department schema on prod database??
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You have to explicitly grant privileges anyways, and since there is no GRANT SELECT ON <SCHEMA> ability it should not be that difficult.
Should I also consider doing this scenario in reverse? Creating user TEST on dev, giving TEST rights to the 4 tables in EMPLOYEE, then creating the database link to connect to department schema on prod database?? Are you creating database links as the EMPLOYEE and DEPARTMENT users? If so, I would caution against that. Create a "current user" database link for TEST. I think you can manage privileges better that way.
HTH!
HTH!

Used to be able to connect to home Wi-Fi network, but no more

Used to be able to connect to home Wi-Fi network, but all of the sudden my IPad has stopped connecting. I have verified that the Wi-Fi network is operational (IPhone, smart TV, laptop) and also that the IPAD is operational (Wi-Fi hot spots). I have tried forgetting the network and adding it back in - but IPAD just sits and spins. Have also forgotten network and intentionally entered incorrect password, and I do receive an immediate reject so I know the IPAD is talking to the router.
Any ideas?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) 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. 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.

HELP! Try to set up bluetooth using a D-link 120 on a Dual 1.8 G5

I have just got a Apple bluetooth keyboard and am trying to pair it to my dual 1.8 G5 using a D-Link 120 USB adapter. I have search the forms for hours trying to see if I can find the answer with no luck...
Here is what seems to be taking place.
Plug in D-link 120 USB Adapter, power on keyboard, open bluetooth setting set-up assistant, select keyboard as my device, it shows that it sees the Apple keyboard and I click continue, gives me a passkey number to type in and hit return and say it should pair but after 45-sec. I get "Pairing attempt unsuccessful"... what could I be doing wrong?
I am new to bluetooth and my goal is after pairing it to the D-Link 120 adapter I will move the D-link to my IOGEAR KVMP switch and plug it into the USB port where the keyboard plugs into so I can use it with both my Macs (this G5 and a new Mini i have connected to the KVMP... if possible?)
I understand that I might not get it to work with my KVMP (I have read that others have used this adapter with a KVMP) but right now I cannot even get it to work with my G5 like it says it can?
Any assistance that I can get with this would be helpful! please keep in mind that i am new to bluetooth so please try and keep an possible solutions low-tech.

i steered away from the USB adapters for bluetooth... i tried one from best buy that was 1/2 the $ of the d-link 120... had crazy problems happen?!?! i actually had USB components drop out on me! i use eyeTV and every time i tried to use the bluetooth it disappeared?!!? i assumed it was pulling too much power through the USB ports and subsequently the other devices got dropped due to lack of power...
i was told the d-link was the best one for our macs, but i never tried it again... i want to get an airport card with the bluetooth adapter on it... you can find them on line and peeps in these forums have posted links for them (can't remember where at the moment).
japamac uses it and has no problems... maybe he can chime in and help!
SITE FOR COMBO CARD
try that and look for your mac...

Variable database name in SQL Server query using Oracle database link

Hi All,
I have an ApEx 4.1 app running on 11g x64 (11.2.0.1) on Windows Server 2008 x64, and I have some data integration points with a SQL Server (2005 and 2008) that I need to establish. I have configured the database link with dg4odbc and it works beautifully... I can execute queries against the SQL Server database without any problems using the database link.
However, there is a scenario where the SQL Server database name is dynamic, and I need to generate it on the fly in a PL/SQL block, and then use that in a dynamic SQL query (all of this in ApEx). This is where I run into problems... when I am querying the default database based on the ODBC connection and I don't have to specify the database name, there is no issue. But when I need to access one of several other non-default databases, I keep receiving the "invalid table" error.
This runs fine:* (note that "fv" is the name of my database link)
v_query1 := 'select "ReleaseDate" from dbo.Schedules@fv where dbo.Schedules."SchedID" = :schedule';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_query1 into rel_date using schedule;
I then take that rel_date variable, convert to a varchar2 (rel_date_char), and then use it as the database name in the next query...
This returns an error_ (Error ORA-00903: invalid table name)
v_query2 := 'select "PARTNO" from :rel_date_char.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID" = :schedule and "UnitID" = :unit
and "MasterKey" = :master and "ParentKey" = :parent';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_query2 into part_number using schedule, unit, master, parent;
I have also tried using all of the following to no avail:
'select "PARTNO" from ' || :rel_date_char || '.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID"...
'select "PARTNO" from ' || rel_date_char || '.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID"...
'select "PARTNO" from ' || @rel_date_char || '.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID"...
'select "PARTNO" from @rel_date_char.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID"...
Is there a way to do this in PL/SQL?
Thanks for any help!

=> instead of executing the statement using "execute Immediate" we have to use PASTHROUGH package to pass the statement to the SQL Server.

Hi Guys,
I am using the Oracle 11g release version.
Following is my question,

Using that DB link, i can access the required table using SELECT statment.
When i tried to create the materialized using that DB link.
I am getting the error SQL Error: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist.
Can anyone please find the root cause and provide the solution for this?
TIA,
