What wire to use to connect to my TV?

I have an old white macbook non unibody and I was wondering what is the cable that I have to use to connect my mac to my sony tv to watch movies?I tried the macbook pro adapter and it seems that the port is different and it doesn't fit my old mac.

Depends on what input plug you'll be using on your TV. VGA, DVI, Composite or HDMI. You'll need a Mini-DVI adapter and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini-DVI 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
(Composite is the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs.)
You'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs for VGA, DVI or Composite. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV 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_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macbo o k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable
If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI 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 system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA or 3.5mm input plugs for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.

What I.Link wire is used to connect my Sony Handy Cam to my iMac Mountain Lion?

What I.Link wire is used to connect my Sony Handy Cam to my iMac Mountain Lion?

Hi,
If I remember correctly it is some while since Sony used iLink (Firewire) which would mean it is Firewire 400.
This would be the smaller 6 pin at the camera end and a 400 9 pin one at the "computer" end.
However we would now be looking at needing a 400 to 800 adaptor/link cable for newer computers.

What accessory to use when connecting to Harman Kardon AVR

Hi,
we use a Harman Kardon AVR 145 for our audio at home. Please can anyone advise me what accessory to use for connecting the iPad? We have the bridge for our iPod, but that is no good of course. Please advise on a cable to use. Thanx!

Sorry, but you'll have to either wait for someone owning that equipment to show up or for someone to take the time and trouble to look it up and see what sort of connection options are provided on it. Or, if you want to perhaps move the process on a bit more quickly, and seeing as how you have it right there, you could always provide that info.

What RapidMart is using to connect SAP R/3?

Hi, We used Data services for mostly OLTP system and now we are thinking of using it for SAP R/3 system. I read that the most efficient method for large amount of data is to use SAP ABAP call using SAP R/3 Data flow. We can create ABAP program from DS and load in SAP system. We want to know what rapidmarts are using. I don't think rapidmart is using ABAP method to connect SAP R/3 and get data.
Can someone clarify?
Thanks,

I got no reply so closing this thread.

New Mac Pro: What are You using to connect your eSATA external drives to you nMacPro?

Hi,
I have some eSATA external HDs that I would like to use with my 2013 New Mac Pro.
I was just wondering what other have been using to connect their nMPs to eSATA devices and how well it has worked. I have seen a USB3 to eSATA cable from NewEgg.... which seems like a good idea ... if it will work.
Thanks!

LaCie TB HUB has two TB ports which is good for daisy chain. Has two esata ports also. I connect a Voyager bought from OWC to one sata port and that's where my bare 2.5 and 3.5 hard drives reside when I need them. The other sta port has a Pioneer 207 blu ray drive. When I sleep my 2013 Mac Pro I turn off the power to the Voyager and the Pioneer. All work flawlessly.

What can be used to connect Panasonic Full HD SD/SDHC Camcorder to the iPod

I am thinking of buying the Panasonic Full HD SD/SDHC Camcorder which uses the new SDHC/SD Memory Card to store the movie clips. What I would like to know is there anything in the iPod accessories range, that I can connect to a Fifth Generation iPod so I can store all the clips from either the camcorder or the SDHC/SD Memory Card, so I can re-use the memory card. I understand that I will not be able view the moive clips on the iPod as the camcorder uses the AVCHD format.
All I want to do is use the iPod as a storage unit as I will be taking the camcorder on hoilday and I don't want to buy a lots of the 8Gb Memory cards nor take a portable hard drive with a card reader.

-I already read entirely those threads, but nothing about stereoscopic 3D AVCHD movies through USB port, on Panasonic TVPlasma3D.
(Also, Sony said me that is not possible to play 3D videos on your 3DTV through USB port).
I tried to made a H.264 videoclip, with .MP4 extension, at 960x1080p side-by-side layout, but nothing was displayed, and black screen.
I think that just the AVCHD movies, with .MTS extension, that comes from Panasonic consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", can play the 3D videos via HDMI cable, not USB port.
But not the exported videos from PremierePro via USB port.
I seen this tutorial from David K Helmly:
http://www.youtube.com/user/dhelmly#p/a/u/1/_YtF0c2bmkw
Dave export the video from PremiereProCS5 as "MPEG2-bluray" format with "Match Source Attributes (HighQuality)" Preset, and build the Bluray Disc in EncoreCS5, with the footage as MPEG2 with .m2v file extension:
1) Anyone tried to play correctly in 3D, those MPEG2-.m2v side-by-side files, in Panasonic3DTV, with BlurayDiscReader?
2) Why MPEG2.m2v side-by-side?
3) The official standard stereoscopic 3D format, is not the .MVC (MultiViewCoding) for Bluray3D Disc?
I am confused!
Help!

What do I use to connect my PC to my TV?

I have a Toshiba Satellite L505. This computer has 2 USB Ports on one side and on the other side has a RGB Monitor Port, a Network Port and an eSATA/USB Combo Port. I would like to connect my laptop to my Toshiba TV that has a S-Video Port with the Yellow, White and Red Ports (which I believe to be the RCA Cable Ports, correct me if I'm wrong). Which Port on my computer do I use and what cable do I buy that will turn to a S-Video cable for my TV? Also is there anything else that I would be required to do or buy to finish this step so I could play my movies and or play my music through my TV? Thank you very much for your time.

Connecting an SVideo connection to a SVGA connection is.. troublesome, to say the very least. The chances of getting a good picture are nearly null, and even then, that's after using an expensive converter box. It's possible, but not something i'd really attempt, myself - and I know how to do it. I'd simply switch to a flat panel TV with a SVA port already built in.

What cables to use when connecting Airport Extreme and Windows XP?

I have a DSL modem and Airport Extreme. Right now I am getting Internet with the cable plugged into "Ethernet" and is connected to my computer. If I want to connect my Airport Extreme to my computer, where do I plug in everything?
Thank you for your help - I am a complete wireless newbie!

Jgreene19
You don't seem to be making much sense, please can you clarify your network and your computer.
You have a DSL modem with an Ethernet port?
Do you have an Airport Extreme Base Station?
What computer do you want to connect by Airport, your iMac listed in your profile (or as this is an Airport for Windows forum) a Windows PC?
Does this Windows PC have a wireless card or not?

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.

HT201180 What type of Fire Wire cable to use to connect MacBook Pro 2009 to tape-based Sony TRV720 camcorder

What type of Fire Wire cable to use to connect MacBook Pro 2009 to tape-based Sony TRV720 camcorder

USB is the slowest. Firewire is faster. eSata is the fastest (and will be superceded by Thunderbolt). The old Fire was 4 pin (Firewire 400 and is essentially obsolete), new is 9 pin, Firewire 800. All of the will transmit data, simply a different speeds.
For eSata connectivity, you MBP must have an express card slot (and the appropriate eSata connection card) and you external enclosure must have an eSata input. eSata cables will only transmit data, therefor it will require power by Firewire or USB cables.
Ciao.
