VGA on laptop to HDMI on TV needs connected.
I have an HP 2000 (HP 2000-329WM Notebook PC) With the AMD Radeon HD 6310 graphics and only an VGA connector out. Will someone please tell me what it is EXACTLY that I need to get to connect it to my HDMI 1 (PC) input on my TV. TV manual shows that I will need a headphone out to RCA cable for input on TV for audio, and I know that works (and great at that) but what do I need for the vidio portion of the madia. I have read a lot of posts (not just in this forum) and it seems there are some idiots out there that don't know in from out. I just want to know EXACTLY WHAT WILL make this conversion work. Tired of watching Netflix on the notebook when I have this great larger screen that I should be able to use.
Thanks in advance for any sensible knowledge about this. (Notebook was a gift or it would have had an HDMI output on it so I can't bitch about an othwewise good notebook).

Hi,
Already mentioned on the following post:

You need a CONVERTER, not ADAPTER The setup:
The following list may help:

Laptop (VGA) ---- Converter from VGA to HDMI ------ TV
You also need sound, you can buy a converter with sound OR connect sound directly from laptop to TV.
Regards.

I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.
VGA is an analog signal HDMI is digital. A simple cable would not work you would need something that converts the analog signal to digital.
A search of VGA to HDMI turned up a few possibilities but nothing specific. In any case the picture on the TV will not be very good given the source.
You should check to see if the TV has a VGA input. Some TV's have a computer connection port and this is usually VGA.

VGA Windows laptop to Apple LED Cinema Display...?
Attaching VGA Windows laptop to Apple LED Cinema Display...? Is this possible? I have a personal MBP that'd work fine, but need to connect a work laptop as well. Any insight would be great. Thanks!
As mentioned, the biggest issue is that the VGA signal is analog, and the Apple Cinema Displays only accept digital signals. Does your laptop have any other videop output ports? A DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort would be the easiest, of course, but if you have an HDMI connection, you could get something like the Atlona HDMI to Mini DisplayPort Converter and Scaler. Not exactly cheap at $170, but if you really need it, and you have the port, maybe it is a solution for you. The only issue, it seems, is you would be limited to 1920x1080 resolution.

One year ago i installed Elements 12 on my PC with a serial number and it was OK.
Today i have installed Elements 12 also on my laptop.
But,...there is a problem with validation of the serial number on my laptop. Is there a need to validate Elements or will this program real disapeare in 7 days?
HansHi,
Since you already have one copy activated the serial number must be logged in your account details - I would first check that the one logged and the one you are attempting to enter are the same.
You can check your account details by going to www.adobe.com and clicking on Manage Account. You need to sign in with your Adobe Id and then click on View All under Plans & Products. Next click on View your products and after a while it should produce your list.
If there is a problem with the serial number, only Adobe can help you there (we are just users). Please see the response in this thread
First of all, I would have to say that getting in touch with you is a nightmare and I am not at all happy that I can't just email or live chat with someone who can help! I am not a technical person, I just want to be able to use Photoshop Elements and ge

my LAPTOP is broken and I need to SINCRO my iPhone to a new PC. ANY HELP?
The right way is to restore the backup that you should have kept of your broken laptop before it was broken to your new PC.
As a much more complex and expensive alternative, see: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive -
My laptop crashed completely and I need to authorize a new laptop to enable it sync with itunes. I have 5 computers authorized so I am unable to add another one so I need to unauthorize the bad laptop that is no longer working. How do I authorize new Laptop?
You can only deauthorize everything to do that. Click on Account under Quick Links. You can deauthorize all five there. But you can only do this once a year.

Hello Melophage,
Thanks. Done..:)
BTW, I got another issue, hope can help me, I'm updating my OS X maverick to new one 10.9.2, while updating I need to restart my laptop to update, however i got this error message, "Install Failed! OS X could not be installed on your computer. The installer encounter an error that caused the installation fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. Click Restart to restart your computerand try installing again." I did that so many times, unfortunately, nothing happens. This is the 1st time Ive ever encounter that issue while updating my Mac. Now, i cannot even go to my main menu, coz everytime I turn on my laptop it's shows the updating process and go back to failed installation. Thanks. -
My laptop was stolen and I need to be able to connect my iPhone4 to the new laptop and transfer content (photos, mp3's, apps etc.) to the new laptop. I'm afraid to try a sync in case it deletes all the content off the iPhone. Any suggestions?
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

Check your Adobe account online. If you registered the software when you first installed it then the serial number might be available there.

What does it say for 'Properties for Built-in Output' ?
I connected a Mac Mini to my TV and the audio was intermittent - i found the setting was changing from outputting optical to analogue and back all the tiem.
The output should auto-select but I think something about the cable plug I used was causing the issue - when I plug in headphones audio is fine. I get the impression the socket may be a bit fussy about the 3.5mm plug - in theory they should be all the same but theer may be slight differences in shape/size of both sockets and plugs. -
Which sort of HDMI cableis recommended for connecting Apple TV to aTelevision? Does it need to be a normal HDMI cable? or one which supports Ethernet capabilities?
no need to go for an expensive HDMI cable as Varjak Paw rightly suggests.
Pretty much all of them come with 1.4 standard these days.
The difference in price is made by additional shielding and material used for the wire - hardly ever needed at home installations - unless you get interference from other devices.
on the other note.
one HDMI in your TV is obviously not ideal as well as using HDMI splitter or hub - but it should work.
Also I know cases that some LG TV models do not work with Apple TV - which was confirmed by LG technical support.
Those are rare cases and i do not want to worry you at this stage. -
I have macbook 13 2009 i need connect mini displayport to hdmi
hi i need connect this macbook by mini displayport to hdmi how can i do this?
If you have a DVI input plug on your TV a better solution would be to use a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY with a DVI to DVI cable to the TV for video with headphone jack to RCA sound plugs for audio
HDMI is a badly designed interface developed for the purpose of controlling content not a superior signal. Since control could not be done with analog or DVI connections, HDMI was a new digital alternative to allow whoever wanted to control the content with HDCP.
By definition, a HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) connection includes High-bandwidth Digital Copy Protection (HDCP). HDCP was developed by Intel, but it is the brainchild of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and it's purpose is to prevent copying of HD material.
HDCP is licensed by Digital Content Protection, a subsidiary of Intel. In addition to paying fees, licensees agree to limit the capabilities of their products. For example, high-definition digital video content must be restricted to DVD quality on non-HDCP compliant video outputs when requested by the source. DVD-Audio content is restricted to DAT quality on non-HDCP digital audio outputs (analog audio outputs have no quality limits). Licensees cannot allow their devices to make copies of content, and must design their products in ways that "effectively frustrate attempts to defeat the content protection requirements." -
Mirror macbook to other laptop using HDMI?
hi , I want to mirror my macbook pro to other laptop , like showing macbook's screen to other laptop. using HDMI only.
if anyone can have any solution/how to , then please kindly share your views.You can't. What you are suggesting is Target Display, and it's only supported on iMacs through Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3924?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Instead, you can use an app like ScreenRecycler, which allows you to mirror the Mac's display to another Mac or PC through the network -

KamalWelcome to the Apple Community.
You must restore from a computer.
Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
