What connects do I need to hook up a 2nd LCD monitor to my p7-1380t HP computer?

My current monitor is a Samsung Starlight LCD monitor hooked up to my p7--1380t (approx 23 inches). I want to set up a 2nd monitor which is a DELL LCD (unable to find monitor model #).
Can you advise me which ports to use on the back of my computer and which cable type I should get for the Dell monitor?

Okrafarmboy, welcome to the forum.
We don't have information on Dell monitors. However, I believe that it will be either VGA or DVI (D or I). It depends on the age of the monitor.
Here is a guide to help you connect the two monitors to the computer.

What EXACTLY do I need to hook up a 2nd LCD? (24" iMac)

Hi. I have a white 24" iMac. I recently bought a Cintiq 15x LCD tablet. It has a combination DVI-I, and DVI-D connection, and a USB connection. The USB connection is obvious, but the multiple flavors of DVI are not. What do I need to get from my MINI-DVI port to the Cintiq? I know that a mini-dvi to dvi adaptor is needed, but I am unsure as to which freaking cable I need, and I'm kinda ****** that the people in charge of 'standards' have made this so god **** confusing.

The Apple mini-DVI-to-DVI adaptor provides a DVI-D connection (only). You must use a DVI-D cable to connect it to an external monitor's DVI input (Apple's silly adaptor won't accept a DVI-I cable.) It makes no difference whether you use a 'single-link' or 'dual-link' cable
It also makes no difference whether the monitor's connector is DVI-I or DVI-D; the iMac isn't capable of driving a dual-link monitor, so the dual-link wires in the cable (if any) will be unused.

What cables do I need to hook up my vcr to a minidv

Hi, I want to take my home videos (currently on vhs tapes) and transfer them to my mac mini computer so I can create dvds using imovie and idvd. I have the Sony DCR HC32 minidv (that has the "pass-through" feature). What cables do I need in order to hook my vcr up to the minidv, and what cables do I need to hook my minidv up to my computer? Thanks.

VCR to Digital Camcorder using whatever the highest input interface the camcorder has in common with the VCR (be it S-Video, etc.).
You need a FireWire cable to connect the Camcorder to Mini most likely if its a Sony unit. Check the manual. You will need a Mini-FireWire (probably 4-pin) to 6-pin adapter (this side plugs into your apple mini).
That should do it, most likely iMovie will detect the Camcorder and start sucking down video.

What cords do I need to hook up my mac book pro to a Toshiba 32 T.V.

I'm trying to find out if anyone can help me with finding out what accessories I might need to hook up my mac to my toshiba 32 T.V. I could probably use a little guidence when it comes to istallation as well.

Assuming you have a recent MBP, i.e. purchased new in the last couple of years, and that your TV is modern one with HDMI inputs then you need a mini-displayport to HDMI cable. Apple have one:

Installation involves connecting up the cable, then it's pretty much plug-and-play. The MBP should auto-detect your TV and you're good to go!

What do I need to hook up an external DVI monitor to Thunderbolt?

I want to hook up an external DVI monitor to my new iMac.
It has a thunderbolt connection.

Is the above link what I would be looking for? I notice this is for "Mini DisplayPort" and not Thunderbolt?
Just a little confused Thanks.

You are quite correct. That's the device you need. Take a look at your plug and the plug in Amazon's picture for a final check. If that looks good, click "buy"!
ThunderBolt supports "mini display port".
Since adapters have been around for a while, they typically don't say anything about ThunderBolt - it's too new. They talk about "mini display port" only.

I have 1 Internet Connection and I need to hook 2 wireless routers help.

I have one internet connection. I need to use 2 wireless routers. What model of linksys router should I purchase and how should I hook them so we can use both at the same time.

Remember that both wireless routers will not communicate wirelessly you will have to connect both the router's together with Ethernet Cables...
What will be the approximate distance between both the routers ?
Do you wish to establish communication between the computers connected to Router 1 and computers connected to Router 2 ?
Do you wish to have a separate network for both the router's ? Look at this link
You can go with Wireless - N draft Router's(WRT310N, WRT320N, WRT350N, WRT400N, WRT600N etc) as they will give you a good range to connect to a distant wireless clients...

What cords do i need to hook up my macbook to my tv?

what cords do i need to purchase in order to watch movies from my macbook to my tv?

You'll need a Mini DisplayPort adapter and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini DisplayPort adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_sc_2_16?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=mini + displayport&sprefix=mini+displayport&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amini+displayport
If you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI. Check your TV manual to see if it has audio plgs that work with one of the HDMI ports.
With the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.

What connection do I need to transfer music from my Ipad to a tablet?

I'm attempting to find out what connection I need to transfer music from my IPad to a friend's tablet.

This cannot be done. If the music exists on a computer in your iTunes library, or in a folder for that matter, you can transfer it that way. Otherwise, there is no way to perform this kind of action.

You will need the mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter cable, here.

What cable do I need to hook-up my laptop to my HDTV

I am purchasing my new MacBook air tommorow and I just want to know what cable I need to buy to hook-up my MacBook air to my HDTV, preferably using the HDMI connection if possible.

You'll need to purchase a MiniDisplay Port to HDMI adapter. Apple does not make one, but many retail stores carry an aftermarket one from Moshi.

There are other ones, much cheaper ones.

What cable do I need to hook up a mac pro to a composite tv?

I have a newer version of the Mac Pro that has the Thunderbolt connection. I want to connect my laptop to an older tv that contains composite inputs. What type of cable do I need? I already have the thunderbolt-->VGA adapter, however, the TV does NOT have a VGA input, only composite cable inputs. Is there a VGA to composite video split cables available?

minidisplayport to composite video adapters do exist.

Macbook Pro - What Equipment do I need to hook my Macbook to speakers for a banquet hall?

Hi Everyone!
I was asked to be in charge of music at my Aunts Wedding Shower in a few weeks, I was going to make Playlists on my Macbook Pro, I just need to know what type of equipment I need. I will prob rent a speaker from a music store, but is there a specific plug in I need? Or some sort of mini switch board that connects from the laptop to the speaker? Or a cable?? please advise
Its going to be held in a banquet hall for about 90 people...
Hope to hear from someone soon!
Thanks!

Your Macbook Pro can not fully provide enough sound for a banquet hall unless you're using speakers with a built in AMP.
Here's what you do - get a normal AMP or Receiver and connect your speakers on the audio out of the AMP/Receiver. Now with the image you see below - connect the 1/8" jack to your headphone jack of your Macbook Pro and connect the RCA jacks in the Line In or AUX in of the AMP/Receiver - on your AMP/Receiver, there is a selector in from that selects CD/PHONO/Line in - select Line in so you can hear the sound/music from your Macbook Pro.
It is however, much better to use a Mixer as Adam93T states. But you will need more cables unless you use a mixer with it's own AMP built in.
Good luck
