Which cable connection do i use for exterior monitor for my macbook OSX version 10.7.3.

please help me figure out which port i need to use for this situation. Thank you for helping save this fail. Happy Monday.

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 input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug 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.

Hello, may I change data between iPad Air and other devices by cable connection (USB), (not using cloud) ?

Do you mean you want to sync or transfer data using a cable? Between and iPad Air and what "other device"?

Charger cable connected to the display screens has stopped charging my macbook

the charger cable connected to the display screens has stopped charging my macbook. Can you replace these cables? It doesn't appear you can disconnect the cable, like you can the power supply to the display screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

Mine did the same thing after 5 months, it is broken just go to the store and as long as you bought the phone within the last year they will replace it for free. They are well aware of the problem

I've got a MacBook pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work running Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing.

I've got a MacBook Pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work using Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing. I also tried a Mini Display to VGA lead and that wasn't much better. I tried all variations of resolutions in System prefs - Displays but nothing helped. Am I getting something wrong? Thanks all.

In addition to pixel density, you are up against the translation driver card in the TV.
If you read the fine print of computer-resolution-capability in the TV user guide, you will see a chart as tall as the manual page. At the top is the smallest resolution capable, at the bottom is the full use of the 1080p in the TV.
Mac falls into the top 25% of the page, maxing out at 1366x768 often. This is because the TV control card is expected to do too much of the work, but is not designed for computer-monitor processing.
I looked at the resolution charts on 2 TVs before deciding to buy a 1080p LCD monitor that has a TV interface/connector. Computer monitor first, TV second. But the thing is only 27 in. Good thing TV is not as important to me as it is to others.

N82 Query: Which internet connection option to use...

I have a data bolt on with O2 for 120 mb of monthly internet use. Which of these shall I use to access the web: 02 MMS, O2 MOBILE WEB, 02 WAP GPRS or O2 WAP GPRS STREAM.
Thanks for any help

Best would be to use the setting with no proxies or ports. Those work the best for internet.
Normally labeled "WEB" or "Internet" as the connection name.
Otherwise simply get your networks APN, create a new connection and simply put in the Acess Point Name you aquired and it should work perfectly.

Can an iMac be used as a monitor for a Mac Pro?

Hi all,
I'm getting nowhere looking in the search, so I'm hoping someone can clear something up for me:
is it possible to use an iMac as a display for a Mac Pro?
I am beginning to think I'd better get a Mac Pro, but I already have an iMac, for which I've been researching getting external storage so I can do Final Cut Studio editing and back up of it all... as someone suggested, might be better in the long run to just get it all in the Mac Pro, and have the option and simplicity to upgrade as and when... but then there's the need for a display for the Mac Pro, which does whack the price up... but if I could use this iMac, what a beautiful monitor...
I thought someone said that Final Cut would not allow another computer to be attached though... is that the case, anyone know?
Thanks for any knowledge and help, much appreciated... I'm learning to not rush into anything, as you learn more the whole picture seems to change!
Cheers, Syd

The current 27-inch iMac can. Other iMac models can't outside of a VNC setup or ScreenRecycler; all such solutions require a standalone monitor for setup and troubleshooting.

Can I use the i5 monitor for my Power Mac G4?

I have a powermac g4. In an effort to conserve space, I was wondering, if I can ditch the monitor for the powermac g4 and connect the desktop to the i5, so I can view everything.
Is this possible?

Not directly, no. The input on the iMac will accept only a DisplayPort output. There is one converter on the market that purports to convert DVI to MiniDisplayPort:
http://www.atlona.com/Atlona-DVI-to-Mini-DisplayPort-Converter-p-17859.html
but your G4 would of course need to have a DVI output.
The other option would be to use screen sharing to take control of your PowerMac from the iMac. If your PowerMac is running Leopard, screen sharing is built in. If it's running 10.4 or earlier, you could use the freeware VNC.

Use iMac as monitor for a PC laptop

Can i use my iMac (2009) as a monitor for a Windows 7 Laptop?

If you cannot hard wire the iMac to your PC as a monitor, you can try using Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) to connect to it if it's on the same network.
Works almost the same, except you are managing your laptop from your iMac.
You can download RDP here: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/remote-desktop-client

Not outside of Virtual Network Computing, which requires a separate monitor to set up.

Which TV technology if also use as computer monitor?

I am planning on buying a HDTV (1080p) this Fall/Winter. It will also be used as a monitor to a Mini or Powerbook or PB Pro.
Which type of technology works better with the computer: LCD (flat panel), LED DLP, or LCoS (Sony's SXRD)?
In term of usage percentage... I am guessing about 1/4 of time will be computer, the rest will be TV viewing.
iMac 17 FP 1GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 768 MB RAM

in terms of computer functionality, those 3 technologies that you listed are equally functional as a computer display.
1) they all are capable of having a digital interface, such as DVI
2) they are all more or less are not susceptible to burn in (unlike plasma displays).
SXRD or Liquid Crystol on Silicon is a hybrid technology that has formed from LCD technology... and is quite frankly very very good looking for not a lot of money. (non-Qualia products, that is... in which case it is simply expensive)
HOWEVER, these are technologies, and the individual manufacturer's implementation of these light engines into a finished product varies from model to model. it would really depend on which device in particular, how you are going to use it, screen size, etc...
for example, DLP and SXRD are almost always front or rear projection devices, so are great if you need a larger screen (mainstream direct LCD panels top out at 65" right now) and if you can control the environmental light levels.
LCD can be either direct view display or part of a projection system. When they are used as a projection engine, they tend to look worse than similiarly design DLP or SXRD engines, but as a direct view display, look very good.
LCD displays tend to have less color accuracy, poorer black level reproduction and poorer off axis visibility compared to plasma displays (which are always lesser resolution) and even more so that CRTs, but CRT or plasma would really not be acceptable for computer use.

Can i use pc laptop monitor for mac mini?

I am going to be out of the country for a year - maybe in Africa, most likely in area not well served by technology. I have to use PC for work so have a think pad. I also have an ipad and a mac mini. I really want to take my mac mini (mm) - it bridges a gap between these two. It's small enough and I can use my bluetooth keyboard for both ipad and mm. I can only take a suitcase plus backpack...so I am really not gonna haul a monitor. Is there a way to use PC laptop as display for mm? Weird, I know but I can only take so much...
thanks for any help you can give. cheers

Use iMac as monitor for MacBook Pro

I have a 15" MacBook Pro and a 21" iMac, both early 2008. I'd like to use the iMac as a second monitor for the MacBook. Is this possible?

I believe what you're looking for is Target Display Mode, but I don't know that a 2008 iMac supports this feature.

Use iMac as monitor for PC?

Is it possible to use my iMac as a monitor for a PC?
Also, if I had a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2014 MAC Elite Mechanical Gaming Keyboard...and I was able to use my iMac as a PC monitor...would the keyboard work when I am operating my the PC?
Thanks!

Unfortunately its not possible to use your iMac in that way and if it was then you would not be able to plug your keyboard in your Mac and use it with your PC. Sorry
