VIZIO 55" connection to old Kenwood Speakers

I really want to be able to hook up my old speakers threw my amp/tuner to the new Vizio smart 55 inch TV I just bought. But it appears the input on the TV has a new Digital/Audio connection. When I went to check and buy the new connection the ends were both the same new connection. I would need a old RCA connection one one end or something like that to be able to attach to my old amp, or at least find a Digital/Audio - RCA adapter connection to connect both the lines together to be able to attach the old speakers threw the Amp to the Vizio 55" smart TV. I really would like to hook up my Speakers but will settle for the $89 Sound Bar and a reasonable Sub-Woofer. (My Speakers are Two Kenwood Model KL-7080 Multi-Channel 5 way 6 speaker system power 80 watt max. impedance 80 ohmes. Cross Freqs 600 2000 5000 10000 Hz.) That is a big difference!
Someone please help. It has been quite some time since I dealt with enertainment systems and I am lost.

I had this exact problem, while trying to hook up my new Sony BDP B510 blu-ray player to my old Sony STR-D610 receiver. I bought a digital to analog converter as was receommended to you here in this forum.
But know this: the sound is rather different with the converter in place, rather than using a sound-bar or upgrading a receiver (as I am about to do). By different I mean, with the converter: you are taking a sound signal of multiple channels and squeezing them into 2. Some of the details WILL GET LOST and there will be noticible loss of what I will call 'sound completeness quality'. It isn't surround: it's a mono/bi-aural left/right signal only with no depth.
I'm loyal to Sony: my H.T. receiver (STR-D615) which I bought over 15 years ago still works great! But I also want to enjoy my blu-ray movies with the sound that completes the picture; -so as soon as I find a price of $498.00 or less on a new sony STR-DN1040, I'll be retiring the old vestigaes of my college days and bring in something that better enables my 10 year old niece to BLARE her One Direction throughout my home?!? This is what getting older is all about. . .

So my phone a 4s is less than two years old, the speakers do not work, and it will not connect to wi-fi, so my question is on the 1st of august why should I re-up my contract and purchase a phone that taken care of did not last the distance of a contract?

Where to find adapter: old iMac speakers to MacBook Pro

Was a great set of Speakers on old iMac, but the plug is too small for MacBook Pro. Tried Radio Shack, but their's didn't work.
Not a geek, but frugal and I hate to just discard some decent speakers. Anyone else deal with this or suggest a source to get a working plug adapter?
Thank you for your consideration and any advice you can provide.

I know which ones you mean. I have a set if these as well.
Unfortunately, there is no way to use these with newer Macs.
All of the G4 line of Macs were the only Macs hat had the special connection to utilize these speakers.
They do not work with any other newer Macs or other computers.
Another " Apple proprietary" connection plug.
Other users have asked about these in other Apple forums and its the same answer.
No way to use these with newer Macs. There are no adapters either.
Griffin technologies use to make a device called the iFire which enabled use of these speakers on newer Macs, but this device has since been long discontinued and if you can find one, the sellers are asking a very expensive amount for one of these as it is cheaper or equal inmprice just to purchase a set of new, compatible speakers.
Sorry.

Bluetooth Connectivity For Music With Speakers

I have altec Lansing bluetooth speakers.
They work with lots of old phones playing music over bluetooth.
I've unpaired and deleted all old pairings with the speakers.
My 8520 connects to the IMT525 speakers fine.
It even has sound WHEN MAKING A PHONE CALL But as soon as i try to play a music file there is no sound from the speakers.
Only sound on the phone itself.
I have tried to 'Activate IMT525' whilst in the media/music player. that gives no error BUT STILL NO MUSIC PLAYED on the speakers.
Is there some special bluetooth setting i need to make?
again to re-itterate...it all seems to work with no error messages...just no sound from PLAYING MUSIC ONLY

Airport Express won't connect - Is it the speakers?

I have just bought a new iMac4 and bought an airport express at the same time. Despite connecting to my chosen speakers in the same room, the airport still only flashes amber. I've reset the modem, dowloaded new firmware, checked with my ISP whether it's wireless compatible (it is) and read through the various relevant topics in this forum plus used the help on the mac itself, but still can't get it to work. Could it be that the speakers aren't compatible? They are powered ACS90 speakers I used with my old pc.

It won't be the speakers.
Is it a cable modem?
If so blank it, leave it off for at least 30 minutes or even overnight before connecting the Airport to it.

What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro (it has been taken out of the computer) to my new macbook pro? I need to transfer files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.

At the apple store they said I needed an esata to usb wire. But looking at wires on line has been confusing. Is sata the same as esata? How do I know if I need a usb 3 or usb 2?

How to connect my old 20in Cinema Display to my thunderbolt new MacBook Pro?

Hi everyone, I just brought a new MacBook Pro to replace a older model(brought earlier 2010), and a new thunderbolt Cinema Display. I have a old 20 inch LCD Cinema Display all the way from 2005 and brought a mini display port for my old MacBook Pro, worked just fine. However with the new Thunderbolt Display, I noticed there's another thunderbolt port behind and was thinking to connect my old Cinema Display as a secondary monitor. I've brought a thunderbolt port from amazon (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007KB0EGC/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_1 ), but my old monitor still shows black. What did I do wrong here? Thanks!

So currently there are two displays and you expect there to be three?
Can you swap the displays just to make sure there is nothing else wrong?
That is confirm:
1) MBP -> Display A works
2) MBP -> Display B works
Then try:
MBP +-> Display A
|
+-> Display B

How can I connect an old macbook pro...

How can I connect an old macbook pro with that does NOT have a Thunderbolt connection to a new 27 inch iMac? I only need to do this for one specific purpose, to be able to see the work I'm doing on the laptop in InDesign on the iMac's larger screen (at a larger size as it were, so I can see a double page spread (or even a whole page would be an improvement) in one go)? I gather it might be possible to get an adaptor but note that Apple don't seem to sell one. I know I could do this with the cinema screen but would rather do it with a new imac as that will have more use to me overall. It's a work laptop which I don't own so I don't own the Indesign to just be able to use that on an iMac. I have tried to connect monitors to the laptop in the past, but with no success at all. I hope someone can help . Thank you.

Im pretty sure you are talking about the M8536 which has an ADC Adapter.
you will have to daisy chain a thunderbolt to DVI adapter with an DVI to ADC Adapter.
the first adapter:

The second adapter is old so you may find used ones on ebay like this:

I installed 10, iTunes no longer connects to airport Remote Speakers

Boy, this is real irritating. I just use iTunes to stream internet radio to my stereo. It was all working fine, then I updated to v10 and nothing works anymore.
BIG PROBLEM...the option to choose computer speakers or remote speakers DISAPPEARED. Well, it was there for a second after I ran iTunes 10 for the first time, then the option DISAPPEARED.
Heck, I even unistalled everything and went back to v9.2.1....But the same problem...ITS GONE!
Now even I can't get iTunes to even connect to my Airport Express at all to even play music on the computer speakers.
Grrrrrr. I was all bloody working till v10 came along!!!
BTW, I'm using Comodo firewall. It was all working before, like I said.

Well I uninstalled Comodo and turned on Windows firewall. I re-installed iTunes.
I went into firewall settings and iTunes was checked off (allowed) for both home & public networks. Didn't work. I saw Bonjour on there and just 'home' was checked off, so I checked off 'public' to see if it mattered.
It did work. iTunes connected to the remote speakers....but for some reason, only for a very short period, then I get a network error.
This is freaking unbelievable. It was all working fine till I stupidly updtated to 10. Grrrrrrrrr

Hi mshields1162,
Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:
iTunes 10: Sync to your iPod

How do I connect an old Time Capsule to look for data from a previous OS?

Hello. I replaced my old Time Capsule with a new one a few months ago, and broke in the new Time Capsule with a fresh backup of a clean 10.9 install after migrating my user account.
Today, I noticed that there were some folders full of personal data that are neither on my MBP, nor in my Time Machine backups on the new Time Capsule. I am hoping that these folders still exist on my old Time Capsule which I used with 10.8.
I'm wondering how to search through my old Time Capsule and its Time Machine backups. Specifically, I'm wondering how to connect it to my MacBook Pro, and whether I will be able to search for my (hopefully not) lost data through the Time Machine interface, or through the directory structure contained in Backups.backupdb.
Can anyone help me out with a plan to proceed?
Thank you very much.

1. Turn off Time Machine in System Preferences
2. Unplug new Time Capsule
3. Turn off Wi-Fi in the menu bar
4. Attach old Time Capsule to power
5. Attach old Time Capsule to MBP via ethernet
6. Wait for old Time Capsule to appear in Finder > Sidebar > Shared
7. Select old Time Capsule in Finder > Sidebar > Shared and Connect to old Time Capsule
8. Select the Data directory
9. Double-click on the .sparsebundle file that represents the volume that was backed up on the old Time Capsule
10. Hold down the option key and click on the Time Machine icon in the menu bar and select Browse Other Backup Disks...
11. Select the Time Machine backup disk you would like to browse and choose Use Selected Disk
12. Browse old Time Capsule backup in Time Machine environment, restore data as normal, exit Time Machine as normal
13. Eject old Time Machine backups (the .sparsebundle you mounted) under Devices in Finder > Sidebar
14. Eject old Time Capsule under Finder > Sidebar > Shared
15. Disconnect ethernet; disconnect old Time Capsule from power.
16. Plug in new Time Capsule (it boots); turn Wi-Fi on (reconnect to network, if necessary); turn Time Machine back on in System Preferences

How can I connect an old external FDD Model# M0130 ?

I have an original Macintosh 128k with an external FDD DB-19 connection. Now I have 400k diskettes and I would like to get the files from these diskettes. Is there a way to connect this old External FDD that has an db-19 connection to a Quadra 650 or Powerpc 7600 so that I can get the files from the diskettes.
Or is there another way to be able to access these 400k diskettes from a Quadra 650 or PowerPc 7600.

400 KB diskettes are physically readable in any Apple 800 KB or combination 800KB/1.44 MB diskette drive. 400 KB diskettes are double density (2D or 2DD) media, but are written one one side only.
Support for 400 KB MFS diskettes was removed from the System Software at System 8.0, when HFS+ Extended was first introduced (but not made active until 8.1).
So you need an older Mac, like your Quadra 650, running Mac OS before Mac OS 8.
Do not try to fool the drive by using HD media -- the oxide is different, and the data will decay and become unreadable in a matter of a few minutes. Both types of diskettes are still available from the catalogs of major office supply retailers.

Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule? It used to work with old Airport Extreme with updates thru Snow Leopard but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA.

Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule? It used to work with old Airport Extreme network, run from a intel iMac with updates thru Mavericks but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA and can't connect to Time Capsule. Airport Extreme Base was controllable from either computer up through Snow Leopard (I didn't do any of the Lion upgrades). Then when I upgraded to Mavericks I lost the ability to use Airport Utility with this hardware on the Sunflower but could still connect wirelessly to network without any problems. But now with the Time Capsule upgrade the Sunflower is blocked from network by a dialogue that requests ony WEP password, not WPA pwd used by Time Capsule. Neither can I use the old airport extreme base to extend the time capsule network since I can't input the correct password/encryption approach to join it. Is there a work around? Would a newer but old Airport Express be able to extend network to Sunflower? Or maybe a third party wireless (such as Netgear, Dlink, etc) that has browser type control rather than special utility?
Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network. Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this--so is it true now that the only access control is via WPA2 pwd now (which appears to be the encryption pwd and not the time capsule pwd)?

I can’t claim to completely grasp the issue(s) you’re describing, but the underlying problem is presumably your iMac’s obsolete AirPort card. Whatever the case, an obvious (if not particularly helpful) answer to your stated question would be to connect your iMac with an ethernet cable, using powerline adapters as an alternative if you don’t want to have wire running all over the place.
My still fully functional clamshell iBook, with an original AirPort card, connects wirelessly to my 4th Generation TC network by means of a cheap 802.11b/g/n USB Wi-Fi adapter. This might be an option for you too.
Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network. Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this
When you edit your TC's settings the access controls appear under the Network tab, don't they?

Old Apple speakers (M2497) not working with 27" iMac

I have a much loved pair of old apple speakers, model M2497.
They worked fine with my older intel G5 tower, but won't do anything with my new 27" iMac. System prefs show the sound output device as being headphones (although the machine's built-in speakers aren't muted).
Any suggestions?
Tamasin

You could try this and see if this solves your issue.
