Which mac cable for projector?

Can anyone tell me which mac cable I need for a macbook 13" aluminum, purchased mid-2008?
Many thanks!

i guess itsa standard 3.5mm jack cable, same same used for ipod headphones..
im guessing the monitor has a female connector, in which case you need a 3.5mm male-male jack cable.
should pick one up on ebay for about 2 or 3 pounds. 5 or 6 dollars

  • Which FireWire Cable for Macbook Pro to Macbook Pro Migration Assistant?

    Hi,
    I've just purchased a new Macbook Pro 15" (standard - not retina display) and am planning to transfer my files via the Migration Assistant. My question is, I currently have a mid 2009 macbook pro (2.8GHz, 4GB) and was wondering which firewire cable I need to purchase - there are so many different types!
    Thanks!

    Hold T and boot the old Mac's drive to the desktop of the new one or do so during Setup Assistant or later with Migration Assistant.
    Setup Assistant runs only once, at first startup when fresh out of the box or when freshly reinstalled from scratch. Migration Assistant is a regular application found in the Utilites folder.
    If you're going to move all your stuff over, the easiest and least problematic way is via Setup Assistant. Since the computer is in a completely blank state when SA runs, it can create identical user accounts, permissions, etc., as the original source. MA is an app that runs on an already configured and running system and, hence, can't duplicate user accounts, modify permissions that are already in use, etc.: this can cause vexing issues for new users that may not be to well versed in multiuser operating system administration.

  • Which DVI cable for my PowerMac

    Hello,
    I am almost positive I am going to purchase an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition for my Quicksilver G4 but I have a few questions first. I have a Westinghouse 22" LCD monitor. My understanding is that the Radeon 9800 has DVI-I output and the Westinghouse has DVI-D input (along with VGA). The card and monitor will work together through the DVI connection right? I believe DVI-I sends out both digital and analog signals while the DVI-D only accepts digital. Which cable should I get and where would I purchase it? Any suggestons?
    Thanks,
    Brandon
    P.S Here are links to both items I mentioned.
    http://www.westinghousedigital.com/details.aspx?itemnum=108
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ATI%20Technologies/100435068/

    DVI-D Cables are compatible with DVI-I but not the reverse ( due to DVI-D lacking the analog pins )
    A male DVI-D can plug into a female DVI-I
    A male DVI-I can NOT plug into a female DVI-D

  • Which FW cable for Transfer and Future use?

    Hi,
    Will be starting up a new imac 21.5" Intel i3 soon and have been advised to purchase a 400 - 800 FW cable for the Setup Assistant transfer.
    I have multiple older devices currently, a mini DV movie camera, a Pentax digital camera, iPod, etc, some of which use FW and some use USB 2.0.
    Should I buy a 800 - 800 cable to keep for these devices that use FW
    (movie camera) and a 400 to 800 adapter for the single use of transferring rather than a 400 - 800 cable?
    Am I overthinking this? Just want to buy the right piece the first time and not have to make two separate cable purchases ( 400-800 and 800-800 ) instead of a cable and an adapter which should be less expensive?

    So this isn't a 400mbs Firewire unit? The info in the pulldown under the Apple "About This Mac" pretty much said it was?
    Do you have a port that looks like this, if so it's FW 400.
    After going to the link and entering my serial #, all I got were instruction on upgrading memory and installing an Airport card.
    Huh, they must not archive manuals that far back from this site.

  • Which MAC Address for Wireless MAC Filter?

    I am setting up a new wireless router for my home network. I want to enable the Network to only accept a small number of devices.
    Which MAC Address should I use, the computer MAC Address or the Airport MAC Address?
    Thanks.
    -Joe

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The AirPort MAC address is the one to use when limiting wireless access by MAC address.
    Do include the computer MAC address to be certain you can still connect to the router via wired Ethernet cable in case the wireless network becomes unavailable.
    I fully configure my router with a wired Ethernet connection before turning on any wireless access.
    That way, the router is never visible and unsecured until you've completed your configuration.
    And when complete, be sure to save the router config file. My D-Link writes the config to my local hard drive.
    It's a pain to re-enter all those MAC addresses from scratch if you have to reset the router to an unconfigured state. At best, you can simple reload the saved config file.
    At worst, having a screen print of the permitted MAC addresses and device names makes re-entering the info manually much easier than running around the house or office trying to locate the MAC addresses of all the phones, pods, tablets, game systems, and printers!
    From a security standpoint, filtering wireless access by MAC address doesn't absolutely guarantee that a determined hacker with unlimited time and a 'sniffer' can't ever get in, but a casual thief simply looking for free WiFi will keep looking for an easier target.

  • Which LCD cable for Lenovo IdeaPad S12 (Series: 2959)

    Hi!
    I have a Lenovo IdeaPad S12 for three years now... and I am generally really happy with it 
    Since a few weeks, however, my display is not working properly anymore. Depending on the angle, certain colors change their appearance (white colours flicker blue-ish and dark colors show red-ish flickers). I have already stopped by a Laptop repair shop and the guy said that I need a new LCD cable and the hardware should be ok.
    Does anybody know which exact cable I need? I have found three different cables on offer:
    50.4CI11.001
    50.4CI11.002
    50.4CI12.001
    Is it possible to say only with my series number (2959) which of the three I need?

  • Which Mac mini for home server, Aperture & HTPC

    Hi,
    I'm buying a Mac mini for:
    - home / small business server
    - Occasional HTPC usage (will be hooked to my TV via HDMI)
    - Occasional Aperture / iPhoto usage (minimal iMovie)
    Which one is most suitable for this?
    I was planing to go for Server  version (with bumped up RAM to 8GB), but now I read about video card and I'm not 100% anymore.
    I will NOT use it for 3D - gaming or similar tasks!
    Thak you all for help!
    Vasja

    I went for the non-server dual core i7 with AMD GPU and am very happy with it.  Do quite a bit of Aperture work and it never misses a beat (so far).  I'm not a fan of integrated Intel graphics and wouldn't trust it for HTPC duties.
    I'm not sure how many/much of the 'server' functionality you're going to be using as it sounds more like file transfer and other tasks that could be accomplished through normal Lion.
    Unless I'm missing something I assume the two hard drives in the Mini Server are just as much of a pain to replace as the one in the non-server Mini so I didn't see the point of having a two hard disc Mini.
    For your requirements I would definitely look at how much of the server functionality you really need to utilise, and if the answer is 'not much' I'd recommend the i5 or i7 non-server Mini with AMD GPU and some sort of NAS, plus a sensible offsite backup plan for your data.

  • Which Mac Pro for print and which for web

    My department is going to be purchasing new computers in the next month. I want to make an informed decision on which ones to buy.
    We have both print and web designers. All will be getting new computers. However, I think that print and web probably have different technical needs.
    So, of the three available: Quad-Core, 8-Core and 12-Core...which is best for which medium?

    You could get along fine with an iMac.
    You could wait and be forced to use Lion compliant apps
    Do you need heavy grapic cabability you probably want 24GB RAM, not 8-12 cores  but fastest single cpu available. Or even stock 4-core 2.8 (you don't want more and slower though like 2.4 or 2.6 or even 2.93GHz models).

  • Which ethernet cable for TC

    Sorry for the stupid question: I have a bunch of old ethernet cables lying around, but want to make sure I have the fastest one to connect my MacPro Quad 2.66 to my TC. It's only a 6 foot run. What do I need to look for when buying? Cat 5e? A certain mhz? And should it be crossover?
    Thanks.

    Gigabit Ethernet operates at a frequency of only 31.25 MHz. Most Category 5e cable I've seen is labeled 350 MHz and is supposedly tested to that frequency.
    The TIA standard for twisted pair copper gigabit Ethernet cable only requires a rating of 100 MHz.
    You don't need a crossover since all recent Macs and Airports are autosensing.

  • Which Firewire Cable for my MacPro?

    I was just about to connect my new external HD to my MacPro, but found out that the Firewire cable doesn't match my MacPro.
    When I did a search for buying Firewire 800 cables, three different types showed up! Which Firewire 800 cable to I need for my MacPro 2.93GHz?

    There is only one FW800 cable type used by your MP. It's a 9-pin nearly square connector. If you have a cable with a 6-pin rectangular shaped connector, then that is a FW400 cable.

  • Which mac mini for the same price?

    Hello. I am about to purchase a new mac mini. Either the 1.24 ghz w/combo drive or the 1.42 ghz w/combo drive..
    here are the specs for the 1.25ghz model i would get:
    1GB DDR333 SDRAM - 1 DIMM
    80GB Ultra ATA drive
    Combo Drive
    Internal Bluetooth
    56K v.92 Modem
    Mac OS X - U.S. English
    1.25GHz PowerPC G4
    ATI Radeon 9200 w/32MB DDR video memory
    Here are the 1.42ghz specs that I would get:
    1GB DDR333 SDRAM - 1 DIMM
    80GB Ultra ATA drive
    Combo Drive
    Internal Bluetooth + AirPort Extreme Card
    No modem
    Mac OS X - U.S. English
    1.42GHz PowerPC G4
    ATI Radeon 9200 w/32MB DDR video memory
    Both models with the specs above will cost the same at the apple store at 774.00
    I have heard the 1.25ghz model's hard drive is a bit faster at 5400rpm. Is this a good reason to go with the 1.25ghz model? The only other difference in specifications between these two models is that the 1.42ghz model also includes the airport extreme card(I dont plan on getting the base station, but it could always be a possibilty in the future).
    The way I want these models configured costs exactly the same...the only differences being are the cpu speed, hard drive speed, and the airport extreme card.
    I have owned a G4 dual 1ghz powermac, and a g3 800mhz ibook. Needless to say, I love apple and the OSX opperating system!
    I am also considering the emac, but I am on a budget here. I will only be using this for the basic stuff(no cpu-intensive programs running here).
    I also dont want the superdrive becasue if I ever need one, I will buy an external firewire burner.
    Any and all advise will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer in my decision!

    Whether Apple are, or are not, about to release bumped minis is not something anyone who has genuine knowledge is permitted to discuss or confirm. That there are rumors is true, but there have been rumors of all sorts of Apple products before - so proved true, but an amazing number proved otherwise.
    Given the intended use the original poster described, it seems highly likely to me that ANY mini would be more than adequate. The more RAM the better, the faster the better, but where budget is tight and where there are no extraordinary user expecations or demands, a 1.25 mini with 512Mb RAM is a very capable system.
    If Airport and or Bluetooth is required, the cost of adding them to the 1.25 model is sufficiently high that the 1.412 would make more sense. If a modem is needed and yet Airport or BT is desired, the 1.42 with built to order modem would be best. If using a RAM-hungry application such as Photoshop, the 1.25 qwith 1GHz RAM will run more smoothly and faster than a 1.42 with 512Mb RAM. Where processor hungry applications are involved (video editing for example) a 1.42 with 512Mb would generally perform a tad faster than a 1.25 with 1Gb - except when it comes to rendering effects and transitions etc.
    If budget allows, the 1.42 model with 1Gb RAM and a modem added would be pretty much ideal for power vs cost. And if still considering after a week, who knows, there may be bumped up models - though the same general principles by which to weigh the options would still apply.

  • Which Mac OS for Early 2006

    Dear all,
    I just got my hands on a Mac mini Early 2006 model which was already upgraded to 2GB of RAM. Its the dual-core version with combo drive.
    Unfortunately only Linux is installed and no installation media for OSX available.
    What is the latest version of OSX I can install on that system as I want to use it as a media server.
    Thx in advance for your help.
    dvdjimmy

    I already had a look at ebay and found several retail versions.
    I hope that there is only one Snow-Leopard version to buy which includes both 32 and 64bit as I dont want any bad surprises :-)
    With "white box" version you mean the look of the dvd-box, dont you?

  • Which firewire cable for new MacBook Pro and Canon HV20?

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro and want to transfer video from my Canon HV20 camcorder (using FinalCut Express). The Canon instructions say to use a "DV cable" and I've learned that the MacBook Pro only has an "800 fire wire" port. Can someone give me the exact type of cable that I should get (even my local Apple Store couldn't help me).
    Thanks!

    I'm surprised that the folks at the Apple Store couldn't guide you. You just need a firewire cable with the proper fw400 connector on one end and a fw800 connector on the other. Here's one source for both cables and adapters:

  • Which Mac Mini for word processing?

    Hello, my partner is looking to buy a computer to use exclusively for word processing.  Since she literally only wants to use a word processor – probably either MS Word or Nisus Writer – and nothing else (not even the internet), I suggested she might get a secondhand Mac Mini.
    I was wondering if anyone had any particular advice on what to look out for – otherwise it would just be a case of seeing what the cheapest device on offer is at a local second-hand computer shop.
    These would be the requirements:
    1.  It must be able to run at least Snow Leopard, in order to run a modern word processor.
    2.  It must be secure, i.e. not liable to break/malfunction easily.  (My partner is writing a novel, so she doesn't want to lose it half way through!)
    3.  It must be able to start up quickly.
    I'm assuming these are modest requirements, so I assume I'm really asking if there's any particularly dodgy models I should look out for etc.
    Any thoughts welcome!
    Jon

    Adding an aftermarket SSD drive won't help keep the cost down though.  To some extent, often startup doesn't matter much as many people never shut their Macs down.  My MBP has not been turned off for more than a few days in 4 years - I'll sleep it when away from it, and the hard drive and screen are timed out to sleep, but I don't bother shutting it down and rebooting it often.  And the difference in boot time for an SSD versus a HDD is likely going to be under one minute on any machine made in the last 3-5 years, so is it worth the cost for that, especially if you are only rarely restarting the machine?  To my mind that answer is no, but everybody is different.
    If I/O is an actually bottleneck or high activity issue on a machine, that is when an SSD becomes worth the extra cost, to my mind.  For word processing, I/O will not be a limitation at all, even with an older 5400rpm conventional HDD, so using an SSD is largely paying for something without any real benefit.  Even in terms of reliability, SSDs are hardly error free or not prone to failure, and in real world use or MTBF type ratings, a good quality conventional HDD is just as reliable as any decent SSD (and sometimes is more so for certain types of failures under heavy use read/write conditions).
    Buying used is fine, if you know the place you are buying from and can trust them to only offer decent items.  As long as you backup regularly so you can recover, a used item may suit your budget and needs just fine.
    In the tight budget scenario though, it is hard to beat some of the available Windows PC consumer machines, and many of those are pretty good quality.  MS Word is MS Word by and large, whether on OS X or Windows.  Keep in mind for the PC route, the cost of decent AV (although many of the free tools are very good and more than enough if you are educated and savvy about what to do and not do with email or web sites&links).

  • Which Mac Pro for Bootcamp / Aperture 2

    Im planning on buying a Mac Pro from apple's refurb store. Was wondering if it is worth it to pay $400 more for the eight core 2.8 vs the quad core 2.8? I'll mainly use the computer for Aperture 2.0 to work with 10-14mb RAW files, Windows Vista on bootcamp and the usual office 2008 / safari / itunes. Will I have an advantage in terms of speed by buying the 8 core model?
    In both cases I plan to have 8GB Ram and a WD 640GB Caviar Blue drive and the ATI 3870 gradually.

    http://www.barefeats.com/octopro3.html - 8 vs 4-core
    http://www.barefeats.com/harper10.html - Motion 3 RAM Preview graphics
    If you wanted to upgrade to 8-core later, it would cost more, not supported, and you might have to buy a pair of cpus, I'd spend the $400.
