What cable should I use to connect my g4 to a 19'flat screen hd  tv?

Whats it called?
Is it widely available?
Want to watch DVD and maybe use it as a second monitor
Thanks!

Your Powerbook has a DVI video-out port, and the best video quality will be obtained by connecting that port to the HDMI port on your television, using an adapter cable with the appropriate male/female ends. Google "DVI to HDMI adapter" to find suppliers online, or go to your local electronics big-box store (take your Powerbook along) and find one there. Note that DVI and HDMI cables don't carry audio, so you'll need to cable the audio from the Powerbook to the TV set separately.

    What cable should be used to connect a macbook pro, 13 inch, early 2011 model to an external projector so the project displays the image on the computer screen?

    You will need a cable or adapter with a minidisplay connection for the MBP.  That will be inserted in the Thunderbolt port.  The other end is dependent upon the connections of the projector which you have not listed.

  • What cable should I use to connect an old iBook G4 to a MacBook Pro in order to transfer files?

    I'd like to transfer files from the iBook G4 to my new MacBook Pro.  However, I'm not a "pro" at using a computer and I'm not even sure what cable to use to connect the two laptops.  I welcome your suggestions!

    The Y is FireWire and the MBP has a FW800 port. On the iBook you should find a FW400 port shaped like an arrow (see below, left pic). So for speediest transfer, you need a Firewire 400 to Firewire800 cable that will allow you to plug both Macs together (right pic).
    Once you have gotten that, place the IBook in Target Disk Mode (see here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661 ) and connect both with the cable. The iBook's hard disk drive will appear on the MacBook's desktop. You can either drag stuff across or use the Migration Assistant found in Utilities to ensure applications get transferred correctly.

  • Connecting 2 Cisco 3560 using GLC-SX-MM SFP, what cable should I use?

    Hi,
    Should I use LC/PC to LC/PC MM diameter 2/2C/L 2meters fibre cable?
    InsLoss 0.05dB
    RetLoss 36.5dB
    Thanks a lot!
    Regards,

    Hi All,
    Problem Resolved!
    I notice the arrows indicated on the SFP and i swap the cables making 1A to 2B and 1B to 2A instead of the previous 1A to 2A and 1B to 2B.
    How I do it? Took the risk of breaking the cables and took out 1 side of the fibre cable encasement on the LC connector from just 1 end and swap it. Fix it back and plug back to SFP.
    Green LED shown! Console shows "01:10:28: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/2, changed state to up" and "01:10:30: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet0/2, changed state to up"!
    Great! I'm done!
    Thanks a lot for all the suggestion and knowledge!
    Regards,

  • HT3924 What cable should I use since my MacBook Pro only have Thunderbolt instead of Mini DisplayPort?

    Should I use a Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable? The article did not include this.

    I have to assume you are connecting your iMac to your MBP and running the MBP in target display mode.  So you would need a mini-displayport to mini-displayport cable for that.
    If it's the other way around I don't think it can be done since a TB device can only be connected to a TB source.

  • How to use iPod shuffle in the car. What cable should I use

    When I connect my shuffle to car.  It says ipod authorization failed. What can I do now?

    If you are talking about a small, 3.5mm round hole, which looks like a headphone jack, it will accept any standard audio input. This is standard on all Seats.
    Many companies label these as "mp3 port" or "aux-in" because it sounds cooler and more "sophisticated".
    Just use a standard 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable.
    From http://www.seat.co.uk/
    "The Seat is available with either a connection which allows an iPod to be integrated into the vehicle or a special connection for all USB memory devices and MP3 audio players with a USB port. _There is also an Aux-in audio connection as standard, which allows external audio sources to be plugged into the standard headphone socket and the sound played through the vehicle's speakers_."

  • What driver should I use to connect my GPIB-SCSI-A box on a Win2000 PC ?

    Win2000 recognise my GPIB-SCSI-A box when I startup my PC but I can't find any driver to make LabVIEW and MAX recognise it. Previously, I was using my GPIB-SCSI-A box on a Macintosh.
    Please tell me where to find that driver for Win2000 (if any exist).

    Francois,
    Unfortunately, National Instruments does not have a supported driver for the GPIB-SCSI-A board in any environment other than MAC.

  • What cable do I need to connect my 27 inch iMac to my Cinema Display

    What cable do I need to connect my 27 inch iMac to my Cinema Display to have two displays?

    It depends on what type(s) of video input you have on your TV. If you've an open HDMI port on your TV, you can use a Thunderbolt (Mini DisplayPort) to HDMI adapter and it will carry the sound also. See -> here.
    Good luck,

  • What cable do I need to connect an i-pod classic to a Boze Wave machine?

    What cable do I need to connect an I-pod classic to a Boze wave machine?

    If you're trying to transfer the music, from the Nano to the Air, you have to either download your purchased songs again in the purchased tab of iTunes or sync them to the Air, using iTunes on your computer.
    Its been a few years since I've used a Nano, but IIRC, the only way to get the music on the device to begin with is by syncing with iTunes, so the songs have to be in your iTunes library.
