What do i need to use my mac as a tv

i want to put my mac in the kitchen and get rid or the tv i have there. is it possible to run my directv into it and us it as a tv also?

Yes, you have to buy a USB tuner from a company like Elgato. They have an EyeTv product that will do this and even has the DVR function.

Appreciate your support and if possible , how to do this?

If you want to work with Mac OS X, you need one computer per simultaneous user.
What you are describing, " Multiple simultaneous logins to a single computer" is not avialable on a regular Mac of any description, unless you decide to use Unix tools instead of Mac OS X.
Server will happily store files for many, many users and provide them to multiple (up to hundreds) of computers at "near hard Drive" speeds over Gigabit Ethernet. It can make the File Sharing part easy.

HT1338 do i need to use the mac book cleaner ?

do i need to use the mac book cleaner ? my computer is working fine i think.
Is it safe and is it required ?

What exactly do you mean by "the mac book cleaner"?
You don't need to use any third party maintenance tools, cache cleaners, etc. if everything is working fine, & you are unlikely to need one to fix most issues anyway.

What do i need to connect my mac book pro to the tv with the thunderbolt on the mac to hdmi? I have the newest macbook pro. I'm wanting to have the best picture I can get from my 1080p tv. thanks

what do i need to connect my mac book pro to the tv with the mac's thunderbolt port to hdmi? I have the newest macbook pro. I'm wanting to have the best picture I can get from my 1080p tv. thanks

Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
High regards to everybody

In what case, we need to use PI for vendor replication in MM-SUS?

Dear Experts,
In what scenarios, we need to use or configure the PI settings for vendor replication between MM and SUS? The SAP configuration guide for SRM 7.01 mentions about the PI settings for vendor replication from ECC to SUS.
However, we are able to replicate the vendor from ECC to SUS using the program BBPGETVD in SUS client?
In what circumstances, we need to configure the PI settings for vendor replication when we are able to do so in a much simpler way?
Thanks in advance,
Ranjan
Ranjan Sutradhar

Hi Ranjan,
In all circumstances you need to replicate vendors from MM to SUS via PI. BBPGETVD is not the right way to replicate vendors to SUS because the information like vendor class, assignment of this vendor class to an object and the vendor classification cannot be transferred via BBPGETVD.
Hence you will have to use PI. You can try sending a PO from MM to SUS and the PO will fail in SUS with a message like 'Vendor not present in SUS' if you use BBPGETVD.
Regards,
Nikhil

What do I need to use sun.jdbc.odbc.jdbcOdbcDriver

hi there
what do I need to use sun.jdbc.odbc.jdbcOdbcDriver to access MS Access database?
String sourceURL = "jdbc:odbc:mysource";
String sqlQuery = "select ComsumerAccountNumber from EDS5";
//getting a connection
try {
Class.forName(driverName);
Connection databaseConnection = DriverManager.getConnection(sourceURL);
Statement statement = databaseConnection.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(sqlQuery);
while(rs.next()){
...some code to do with the results
catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
System.err.println(cnfe.getMessage());
catch (SQLException sqle) {
System.err.println(sqle.getMessage());}
I got error and caught it in catch( classnotfoundexception). no driver. is this the correct way to use a driver. I have created a data source.

make sure the driverName is "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"
I noticed you typed in your message "sun.jdbc.odbc.jdbcOdbcDriver" with a lowercase 'j'

What do I need to connect my Mac Mini to a TV using the S-video jack?

Radio Shack didn't have anything in the store and suggested
that what I needed (something with an S-video connector
at the adapter end and a co-ax/F-connector at the TV end)
would cost $100.
What should I be looking for? I'd like the option to connect
my Mac Mini to a TV (with enough resolution to read text,
which isn't the case with a video-RCA cable), especially in
a hotel room (using the Mac Mini as a laptop!).

The DVI to video adapter
<http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/6454000/wo/jP1F dznaaoNs2dPRALa1K0FqrB2/3.0.21.1.0.8.25.7.11.2.3>
will give best results using the S-Video. Next best is composite video. If your TV set does not have either of these, you will need a RF modulator to connect to the TV antenna connector. For best results get a modulator that takes S-video. It should cost a lot less than $100.00 Radio Shack has one for $25
<http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103095&cp=&origkw=rfmodulator&kw=rfmodulator&parentPage=search>
No matter what connection you use, a standard TV will not give you better than 640 x 480 resolution, so it will always be hard to read small text.

Hey, I don´t know why or what but while I was using my mac, the icloud locked my mac and now asking for a PIN lock with 4 numbers that I never set up before... What a need to do to fix it??

Hey I just want to use my mac but I can´t sign up it because asking me for a PIN LOCK that I don´t have any idea...
Case ID: 471327240

If your Mac was locked with Find My Mac, you'll have to take it to an Apple store or authorized service provider to have it unlocked. You will need to bring the necessary paperwork to prove that it is yours. From http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4006:
"Only Apple retail stores or Apple Authorized Service Providers can unlock computers protected by a firmware password, such as passwords set with Find My Mac.
If you cannot remember the firmware password for your computer, schedule a service appointment with either an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, make areservation at the Genius Bar (only available in some countries)."

Can some one please tell me what leads i need to connect my mac book pro to my tv

Hi i have a mac book pro can someone tell me what leads i need to connect it to my tv
thanks scott

If your TV has HDMI, and if your MBP is compatible with this adapter, I highly recommend:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1824ZM/A/Moshi_Mini_DisplayPort_to_HDMI_Adapt er
It sends the audio out through the mini DisplayPort into the HDMI cable, but only if your computer has that capability. On that page, scroll down and look for a comment titled "How you know if it is supported w/o guessing."

What kind of authentication is used on .mac accounts ???

does anybody know what kind of authentication Apple uses to protect the Sites folder on a .Mac account?
Is it "modauthbasic" or "modauthdigest"

Hi
I believe it's black plastic. Or at least feels like it's not painted but plain black plastic.
Please note that if you paint it, you will void warranty. Unless you remove all paint before RMAing if you'll ever have to send it back for warranty (hopefully never).
Duly noted, thanks for your help!

What do i need to use?

hi, i am new in jsp and i want to know what do i need to work with jsp and Where can i find that programs...I have worked with eclipse and the J2SE 1.5 SDK. Can i make web pages using eclipse?
Do you know were i can find easy manuals to learn this topics?
I wait to your answers...
My e mail is: [email protected]
Thanks!!

I got started with JSP using Tomcat. It's free, which is always a big point for me. You can download it from tomcat.apache.org. The installation and configuration instructions are not necessarily extremely complete. I found it pretty easy to get a "default" installation up and running, but any time I had to tinker with settings, I found the documentation inadequate. Perhaps there are better-documented products out there or products with whiz-bang config programs: I haven't looked.
I believe an excellent introductory text on jsp is "Core Servlets and JSP", available for free -- there's my second favorite price again -- at http://pdf.coreservlets.com/.
