Which cable between 07 Macbookpro and Philips Plasma?

Which cable to use to get optimum definition from macbookpro (games, Hulu) in OSX or XP/bootcamp? Currently using very long dvi to hdmi cable but get a lot of static and shimmer on tv, regardless of settings. Tend to want to run at highest viable definition. Actually does a bit better in bootcamp/xp configuration but prefer osx. Do not want to use second mac as external screen. Want the Big Picture. Would dvi to vga work better? Firewire 800?

This was pretty much the first hit I got when researching this topic.

  • I used an ethernet cable between my iMac and Time Capsule for the initial backup.  Now that initial backup is concluded, can I simply unplug the Time Capsule from my computer?

    I used an ethernet cable between my iMac and Time Capsule for the initial backup.  Now that initial backup is concluded, can I assume I can simply unplug the Time Capsule from my computer without any glitches and Time Capsule will then run wirelessly.  Is this assumption correct? 

    can I assume I can simply unplug the Time Capsule from my computer without any glitches and Time Capsule will then run wirelessly.  Is this assumption correct?
    Yes, if the computer will be able to receive a strong wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
    I did not disable wireless.  So I assume the backups are occurring both with the ethernet and wirelessly.
    It is inot possible to have both an "active" Ethernet and "active" wireless signal simultaneously. If an Ethernet connection is established, your computer will default to the Ethernet connection. If the Ethernet cable is unplugged, the computer will revert to the wireless connection.
    I also show 2 wireless networks available through Airport.  Shouldn't there only be one now?
    You have a simultaneous dual band Time Capsule. That means that it will always be providing both a 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz network.
    I named my new network the same name as the old network.  This enabled all of our devices to continue with their connection without entering the new network and/or passwords; however, I am afraid this may pose problems in the future somehow.  Any input on this issue as well?
    Things should be fine. Devices will connect to the best signal.....either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz....based on their capabilties and location in relation to the Time Capsule.

    who can help me ?
    or what shall I do ?

    First, try another cable. If that doesn't do it, make a Genius Bar appointment and take in both the MBP and the iPad.

  • Cable Between Physical Input and Seq. Input Disappears By Itself

    Today, inexplicably, while recording routine MIDI overdubs on a cue, I suddenly lost MIDI thru from my master keyboard thru Logic to my MIDI racks. MIDI tracks played fine, but no MIDI thruput.
    Tested the MIDI interfaces, AMS, rebooted the computer and the interfaces, all the usual stuff. Couldn't find any reason why I suddenly lost thruput.
    It was only because I was at my wit's end that I decided to look at the Clicks and Ports Layer in the Environment to see if anything "somehow" got weird. And sure enough... the cable between the Physical Input and the Sequencer Input had disappeared. Gone. Vanished. Deleted.
    How this could have happened without my deliberately going into the Environment, selecting the Clicks and Ports Layer and purposely deleting the cable connection is totally beyond me. This has got to be one of the weirdest behaviors I've seen. And just remember everyone, "weird" is an anagram for "wired" which, unfortunately, proved not to be the case.
    Anyone else ever have this happen? Any ideas as to what might have caused this?

    Amin,
    I've thought along these lines too, surmising that: items (or data) which were selected/highlighted in various windows at various times were somehow still subject to such actions as Delete, Cut, or Clear, despite the fact that those windows were currently closed. Now, I rarely (closer to "never") have need to visit the Clicks/Ports layer of the Environment, let alone tinker with the connection between phys input and seq input such that that cable might ever remain in a "selected" or "highlighted" state to begin with.
    But in an effort to troubleshoot the missing cable scenario according to this theory, I deliberately highlighted the cable, closed that window, and continued working. I was hoping that at some point during normal editing operations I might lose my MIDI thruput again (because it got cut/deleted/cleared in association with a cut/delete/clear operation of another event or object) and then backtrack through the Undo History hoping to discover what operation caused it.
    Well, 1.5 days later, after intensive editing of the same sequence (which ended up becoming quite complex) the cable stayed intact! So to a certain extent I think perhaps my theory is wrong, but I'm keeping an open mind.
    But something valuable came out of this... considering LPH/David's information, I think that from now on I'm going to eliminate the physical input and sequencer input objects from my environment; they've proven to be a liability. And it's easy enough to add them to a song in the event I want to do some MIDI processing on Logic's input side.
    I'd like to respond to your thoughts on floating windows in a separate post.
    Cheers Amin!

  • The part of the power cable between the converter and the wall

    I just bought a new MacBook in Malaysia... it has the big three pronged UK wall plug, both the little one (that makes you stay close to the wall), and the long cord one.
    It also came with a US plug, but only the little, short one that just slides right on and makes you stay close to the wall or the outlet, not one with a cord.
    I am going back to the US and want more distance and was wondering if I could use my old iBook cord... only the part between the converter and the wall, so that I can have a longer reach. I have looked and looked at wattage and voltage and can't tell if that will matter on this part. It doesnt' seem like it should, because it is before the conversion to the right voltage and wattage, but I don't want to plug in and explode anything.
    Thanks so much.

    The iBook cord should work fine. There are no electronics in the tail piece of the cord, as it's just a wire, so there is no problem using them. Also, apple wouldn't allow the plugs to plugin if they weren't compatible.
    As a side note, I keep that cord from my deceased iBook plugged in at my lab so I can easily plug my laptop in there and at home. The two plugs are identical.

  • HT4623 I have an iPad 3.2 and would like to upgrade the IOS to 5 or 6. I'm having difficulty doing so, including using a cable between my laptop and my iPad. What should I do?

    I have an iPad 3 and have attempted, without success, to upgrade to iOS to 5 or 6. I've tried it wirelessly, without success, and cabled it to my laptop, also without success.  What am I doing wrong?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • Extended cable between Soundcard and X-Fi-E/A-Modul

    Hi all!
    I have no more free 5 /4 Slot on my computer and so i want to put the E/A-Modul on my desk. Does anybody know, if there is a longer (extended) connector cable between the soundcard and the E/A-Box available?
    (Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium - Fatalty Champion Series )
    For sure, i could solder some cable between both connectors, but if there is any extension available i would like to use it...
    Does anybody know the type and/or specification of the connectors itself? I could manufacture a cable if i would know the specific name/brand.
    Greets,
    Marc

    Re: Extended cable between Soundcard and X-Fi-E/A-Modul_ Hi Dirk...
    It seem's you are German, so i wil try to answer your question in German :-)
    Ich hab jetzt di'verse H?ndler und Internetforen durch und bin der Meinung, dass es dieses Kabel?nicht als "Ersatzteil" gibt. Einer der H?ndler hat sofort abgewunken und gemeint :?"...das ist ein Herstellerkabel, das gibt's nicht einfach so und nachbestellen ist da erst Recht nicht..., aber der "B?rklin" m?sste den Stecker haben".
    Ich werde mich also nun auf die?Stecker konzentrieren, zumal ich ja auch noch eine l?ngere Version haben m?chte. Entsprechende Kabel mit den n?tigen Kabelquerschnitten hat der B?rklin sicher. Die Stecker sind der Knackpunkt.
    Leider fehlt mir ein wenig die Zeit um mich intensiv auf die Suche zu machen... so bald ich was neues wei?, sag ich bescheid.
    Gr?e,
    Marc
    PS: Hier der Link zum B?rklin... leider ist die Suche etwas komplitziert auf derHomepage:

  • IWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI and PHILIPS TV

    Hi,
    Problem: Connection between MacBook Air and Philips TV via iWires MDP (Mini DisplayPort) to HMI, after a while the image became green.
    I have searched for the problem i found a lot of threads but nobody has gave an answer.
    Is it possible to solve or there is no Solution?
    Could you give me an answer here please?

    Here the solution: (from https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3382106)
    Correct Answer by Rutto_  on Oct 17, 2011 12:51 PM
    I too ran into the same problem after updating today: had the same problems in Snow Leopard, they got fixed in Lion (finally!) and returned with 10.7.2. It looks like I managed to fix the problem by copying a file from the Lion install that got removed in 10.7.2 (probably because there are multiple support topic of people whose Philips TV wasn't working at all in Lion, and they had to remove this specific file to get it to work!).
    Long story short: if you have handshake problems, try the following (of course, at your own risk):
    1. Download http://www.mediafire.com/?fdz29bgsg3zm653
    2. Unarchive it
    3. In the Finder, go to (using cmd-shift-G) the directory /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/
    4. Place the entire directory you unarchived in step 2 (DisplayVendorID-410c) in the directory /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/
    5. Reboot
    It seems to be working for me, so I hope it is the same for you all!

    Solutions?

    No, I never really found an easy solution.  I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device.  In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs.  A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup.  It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad.  But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost.  When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might.  If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
    None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it.  I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
    Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

  • I can't get a reliable wifi signal between my Airport Express in the office and Express in the house and i can't get a cable between the two. Any suggestions for getting internet connection in both buildings?

    I need to get internet to both the house and my office, which is in a separate building approx 20m from the house.  I was advised by Apple to buy an Airport Express, set it up on one or other building, and connect wirelessly to the other.  Tried that, but couldn't get a reliable signal. 
    I was then advised to buy another Airport Express and use it as an expander in the other building.  Trouble is, i can't get a reliable wireless signal between the two Expresses, so it keeps dropping the connection, and is slow when it is connected. 
    I rang Apple again and was told that i could try a third Airport Express between the two existing ones, but that is impossible as there is only outdoors between the two. 
    It would be very difficult and expensive to get an ethernet cable between the two buildings (have to cut through concrete etc), and I see from the discussion forums that an Airport Extreme has the same wireless signal as an Express, so replacing one of the Expresses with an Extreme seems unlikely to resolve the problem.  Can anyone think of any other options?

    The  Powerline adapters mentioned by edex67 are your only hope if you cannot run an Ethernet cable.
    Even if the home and office are on the same electrical circuit, you won't really know how well the Powerline adapters might work until you actually try them out at your location.
    For that reason, it would be a good idea to understand the store's return policy before you buy.
