Using TV for monitor of MBA wirelessly?

I was wondering if i could use a TV as a monitor wirelessly using the MBA? the tv is connected to a yamaha YSP-400 sound bar. is it possible to connect to a other monitor wirelessly at all? thanks

I've seen at least one wireless monitor adapter, from Teq Gear. It doesn't seem to be Mac compatible at this time, and it's just under $1000 US, so at this point it would have to be a very special and critical circumstance before it was worth the money to me. Undoubtedly we'll see such solutions come down in price over time.

Using sensors for monitoring messages

Hi All,
Is it possible to monitor messages using sensors on an exposed service in SOA Suite. Basically I want to monitor if any request messages have hit the web service for the last 5 minutes, else raise an email alert. The SOA composite I have is
Web Service ---> Mediator ----> DB Adaptor
Please suggest, how to achieve this.
Thanks

Airport Express - want only to use it for connecting a printer wirelessly

Ugh... have opened up a brand new Canon printer and plugged it into a new Airport Express and hoped that it would somehow talk to my iMac across the room but no luck. Apple Store boy said no problem - click and plug and play... but alas no. Right now, my internet modem is plugged directly into my iMac, so I don't need the Airport Express to assist with anything that has to do with my internet connection, and I wanted Airport Express to solely link my printer to my iMac. A) Hope I am explaining my plight here properly. B) Hope that what I want to do is entirely possible. Am fearful that iMac can only process wired or wireless but not both. Anyway - if anyone can assist - very much appreciated.

Hey, Duane, that's actually incorrect.
You can be connected to the internet via ethernet and the non-internet wireless network created by your Airport Express simultaneously, and thus be able to print and browse at the same time. The iMac will have two IP addresses, one for each connection type, and it will definitely work.
To the OP:
Setup will be as easy as leaving your modem/ethernet setup as is and plugging the printer into the Express, plugging the Express into wall and opening Airport Utility on your Mac. You'll want to "create wireless network" and give it a name and password. Make sure Airport is turned on, join the network, and add a printer in the Print & Fax preference pane. Print a test page. Done.
You could also connect the modem to the Express, and not plug anything into the iMac, and run everything off your wireless network.

Using tv for monitor with Mac mini

Using my 46 inche sharp as my screen for Mac mini. But sitting on couch it is hard to see things on the screen. Is there a setting to change the size view?

Change to a different progressive (p) resolution on Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays. The higher the (p) value the smaller the text. Use the zoom functions on Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Universal Access if you want to maintain the resolution and temporarily zoom on items to make them readable.

Using MXO2 for monitoring fcp

I'm looking to monitor HD out of a MacPro with one video card, and wondering if the MXO2 mini will allow me to have 2 computer monitors hooked up to my video card, and export HDMI to a LCD/TV (3 screens). From what I'm seeing, it looks like I'm going to have to send video to it from one of my video card ports and I don't want to loose my second monitor for editing.
Am I confused here, will I need a second video card, or is there something more to the MXO2 mini that I'm missing.
Thanks...

+Am I confused here+
A little. The MXO2 connects to your MacPro through a PCIe card that you install in the tower, so you won't lose a display port. (You are probably getting confused with a different Matrox device, the original MXO which connects via DVI).

Anyone use Spector for monitoring kids?

Specifically, can the software monitor other user accounts?

Catfish,
Yes, that is for what it is designed. Why would one wish to monitor one's own account? Have a look here for more information.

HT3131 how to sleep a macbook pro when using an external monitor and a wireless keyboard and mouse

I have a mid 2009 13" macbook pro and want to use an external HDTV with the MBP in clamshell mode. What are the steps to do this?

Here's the apple article:

Using TV for monitor

I have my desktop computer connected to my Samsung 61" HDTV and the resolution looks terrible. What do I need to do to get a better resolution?

How are you connecting it? SVideo output is not really that good no matter what resolution you hook into. I reccomend HDMI or DVI if available. Your TV should also have VGA inputs and that should work as well.

How to secure my internet network so my neighbor can't use it for free

I have a cable modem Motorola with a Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO router, with G5 desktop connected to wire and laptop wireless, I set up the Router with it's CD installation it takes me step by step, and at the end my network is connected and ready to go but it never asked to secure my network, according to my wireless laptop Macbook my network is not secured I see other people's network lock sign, but mine is missing, How do I lock it, and where do I start from, I've been using Apple for 20 years but wireless network is new to me.
thank you in advance for your help

In addition you want to;
a) Make the network closed. This means that it won't show up using normal means when somebodys computer does a network search. Sometimes you'll see an option for not broadcasting the SSID, that's the same thing.
b) Use MAC address filtering. This means that even if you know the password you won't be able to connect if your MAC address does not match that which you have entered into the routers configuration.
c) Also as has been mentioned by Matt Clifton, WPA is the way to go. Choose WPA2 though if it's available.
d) Once complete, make a copy of the configuration settings if the router allows it.
Again, a really determined hacker will be able to breach, but most people are not really determined hackers. Basically make switch on every available security feature you have. If you forget the password and can't get on it's easy enough to press the little hard reset button on the back of the device and reload the copy of the configuration settings you made earlier.

I cannot afford an iMac, can anyone recommend a widescreen Monitor for my 15" MacBook Pro. It would be used mainly for iPhoto and Aperture.

Pair a wireless KB with the laptop and all should be well when you attach the laptop to the iMac and invoke TDM. But as Denny mentions, it does seem like the waste of a good iMac to use it in just this configuration. Why is the laptop primary?

HT2589 We have purchase 5 apple minis and would like them all on one account. That way we can monitor the use of these units. they will be used strickly for a business application. can I use one account in itunes or must i have multiple.

Not going to happen the way you want it to.
When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

I've got a MacBook pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work running Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing.

I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing. I also tried a Mini Display to VGA lead and that wasn't much better. I tried all variations of resolutions in System prefs - Displays but nothing helped. Am I getting something wrong? Thanks all.

In addition to pixel density, you are up against the translation driver card in the TV.
If you read the fine print of computer-resolution-capability in the TV user guide, you will see a chart as tall as the manual page. At the top is the smallest resolution capable, at the bottom is the full use of the 1080p in the TV.
Mac falls into the top 25% of the page, maxing out at 1366x768 often. This is because the TV control card is expected to do too much of the work, but is not designed for computer-monitor processing.
I looked at the resolution charts on 2 TVs before deciding to buy a 1080p LCD monitor that has a TV interface/connector. Computer monitor first, TV second. But the thing is only 27 in. Good thing TV is not as important to me as it is to others.

I have an IMAC that runs OS 10.6.7. I use Netgear for wireless. My computer keeps losing the network, so I can't use wireless.

I have an IMAC that runs OX 10.6.7. I use NEtgear for wireless. I have a laptop and Ipod that I use on the wireless. Recently, my desktop computer shows that it is searching for the wireless system (on the router). I contacted Netgear. They talked me into buying another router and their technical contract. Nothing is working. I can plug my 5200 modem directly up to my desktop , and the network is fine, but the wireless, of course, is not plugged in. When I go to connect the wireless, it doesn't work. This is not a computer program per se, nor is it a router program because sometimes it will work. It seems to me that the computer and router are not working together to hold the settings.
I have attempted to download the latest software for my computer, i.e., Imac graphics fireware. Each time I try, it says that the extensions are not valid for my computer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Vicki

Imac graphics fireware.
Did you mean to say firmware? You should only install firmware updates when offered to you via Software Update; other than that, whatever is offered is not appropriate for your model.
As for your Netgear router - I have a Netgear and set it up manually on their web interface setup site (the address should be in your manual). Did you call your ISP so they will recognize that there is a router involved? Sometimes my iMac also does not want to communicate with the router; however, my Macbook and printer have no problem. I solved the problem by connecting things this way:
cable from wall to modem > cable from modem to router > cable from router to iMac. The other things are wireless.

Can i use pc laptop monitor for mac mini?

I am going to be out of the country for a year - maybe in Africa, most likely in area not well served by technology. I have to use PC for work so have a think pad. I also have an ipad and a mac mini. I really want to take my mac mini (mm) - it bridges a gap between these two. It's small enough and I can use my bluetooth keyboard for both ipad and mm. I can only take a suitcase plus backpack...so I am really not gonna haul a monitor. Is there a way to use PC laptop as display for mm? Weird, I know but I can only take so much...
thanks for any help you can give. cheers

How can I use a windows netbook as a wireless hard drive for a Macbook Pro?

I have an old Acer Aspire One netbook sitting around and a 2TB WD hard drive that I use with my Macbook Pro 15" running Mavericks. I was wondering if anyone had an ideas how I could wirelessly access the netbook with the WD external HD attached from the Macbook Pro. Furthermore does anyone have any ideas how I can use the netbook as an airplay client so I can stream my Mac, iPad, or iPhone to my netbook which would be plugged via VGA into a TV?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Download and install the airport utility for windows.. it isn't strictly necessary but the bonjour service makes life easier.
The request for username and password is correct. Username is whatever you like.. but windows needs it.. so admin.. being the common router one.. password by default is public unless you changed it.
Now to get the TC to work properly..
1. The names should be SMB compliant.. by default they are wrong.. use short names, no spaces no special characters.. pure alphanumeric. That is for TC name and wireless names.
2. Wireless passwords should also be same use WPA2 private.
3. In the disk sharing page.. manual setup.. put in the windows workgroup name.. ie WORKGROUP.. this helps the discovery process.
4. In the same area, turn on the guest account to read and write.. not necessary but helps with later versions of windows particularly.
5. Access the drive by using the direct IP address. ie in Windows Explorer address bar, \\10.0.1.1 (or whatever IP the TC is at).
