Which Toslink cable?

I'd like to connect the optical digital audio out port on my Mac Pro to two audio jacks in my wall, which will in turn drive my amplifier and speakers. I've done this before, but had to disconnect when moving, and managed to lose the cable. Now I can't find information on the specific kind of cable I need.
Can anyone help me? Thanks.

I don't mean to sound patronising, but you're sure you were using the TOS link optical out on your Mac Pro? TOS Link carries a stereo signal through bursts of light and I can't see how that could be split into the two channels, let alone changed to any other format without a powered converter.
Are you sure you're not looning for something along the lines of this?

If not, I'm sorry, but I'm out of ideas, though I'll keep checking this thread to try and help in any way I can.
Good Luck, Ed

Mini-toslink cable for Lower East Side speakers?

Hey,
I have my iMac teamed up with a pair of Audyssey Lower East Side media speakers and I recently bought this mini-toslink cable from Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003UU7XQQ/ref=pe_385721_37038051_pe_217191_31005151_ M3T1_dp_1).
The problem I am having is that the toslink connection into the rear of the LES's seems exceptionally lose and I have to fiddle with it to get it in a position where the sound stays solid without cracking up or disapears altogether.
When the connection is stable they sound amazing but I didn't expect a standardised connection type to be so lose!
Can anyone give any advise? The guys at Audyssey are saying that it is "common" for different optical cables to fit differently which to me sounds a bit odd?
Is anyone using a mini-toslink cable with these speakers that fits snuggly into the speaker? If so I would love to hear which one so that I don't end up having to buy a multitude of them to find one
Many thanks in advance!

An optical connector if fitted correctly should never be loose. Ask to test other cables in a shop that sells them, if you get a good fit buy it, if they are all loose, take the speakers back and get a refund.

Does the new Macbook Pro 13" support TOSLink cable (audio out)

I just bought new Macbook Pro 13" (April, 2010) and I want to connect my Macbook to AV receiver or home theater to decode DTS digital sound. Can I use the TOSLink cable (mini 3.5mm jack to Optical) with Macbook Pro 2010 audio out ? (My AV receiver does not have HDMI input but have Optica).
Example of the cable :

Yepp - the MacBook Pro 13" (current and previous model) is equipped with a "Combined headphone/line in (supports digital output)"

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 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 Firewire Cable to Connect Drobo S to 24" Early 2009 iMac? Thank you.

Hello Support Communities,
Which Firewire cable do I need to connect a Drobo S to a 24" early 2009 iMac?
Firewire 800? Firewire 400? 8 pin? 9 pin? 6 pin?
Thank you.

The iMac has Firewire 800 it is a 9 pin connector as shown…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_1394
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/Firewire800.jpg
Wikipedia also says the Drobo S has Firewire 800 & USB2
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drobo
A Firewire 9 pin to Firewire 9 pin cable should be fine, otherwise you could use USB2 but it is slower & less reliable than FW 800 in my opinion.

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

I have tried the composite and works fine. The iPad will show a secondary screen during the slide show when the cable is conected, you will notice the play icon will change. I have tried it with two different projectors and one TV.

DAT-- Toslink cable-- MBP--- Logic

Hi, folks... Need some help with direct recording.
I've got lots of DATs (digital audio tapes) that I want to convert to aiff or mp3s. My DAT deck works great (Fostex D-5), the Toslink cable feeds the digital audio stream just fine to my MBP (@44.1kHz) and I know I've got signal coming in because QuickTime can record it, but how do I tell Logic Pro 8 that I want the new channel strip to pipe in from my input jack that's getting the Toslink cable feed signal from the DAT deck, rather than my iSight MBP mic?
If anyone knows how to change this input setting form iSight mic to optical input jack on the left side of the MBP, it would be really helpful. Thanks!

Audio/midi setup: change input from built-in mic to built-in optical
in Logic preference-audio, change input from built-in mic to built-in optical

Which usb cable version do i use on my imac

How can i find out which USB cable version to purchase for my imac, as my printer needs to be installed

Impossible to answer if you don't let us know what Mac you have and what printer you have. However the chances are ANY standard USB 2.0 cable should work fine. One like:

"Which Firewire cable should I purchase to connect a late 2006 Intel-based iMac with a 400 port to a Mid 2010 IMac with an 800 port?"

“Which Firewire cable should I purchase to connect a late 2006 Intel-based iMac with a 400 port to a Mid 2010 IMac with an 800 port?”

To connect both iMacs, you need a FireWire 400 to 800 adapter, and a FireWire 400 cable, so you will be able to connect both Macs

True 5.1 surround sound from headphone port over a Toslink cable?

http://support.apple.com/kb/SP690 page regarding the headphone port simply says: "Support for audio line out (digital/analog)". So, in planning a purchase I have the following 2 questions:
1. Does the newly released 15" MacBook Pro w/ Retina display have the ability to output true 5.1 surround sound or is it only able to output simulated surround sound? In other words, does the newest MacBook Pro decode the 5.1 signal (separate outputs front center, fronts, rears and subwoofer) over a Toslink cable pluged into the side headphone jack?
2. Using the above confuguration will the new MacBook Pro be able to play true 5.1 surround sound on HD movies purchased or rented from iTunes?

Probably: http://osx411.com/index.php?/topic/38-hook-your-macbook-pro-up-to-your-surround- system/

Just set up an apple TV device to stream music from my laptop to my DAC then into my pre-amp. Set it up on the Tv but then unplugged it and plugged it into the DAC via a toslink cable. No output. The streaming icon is blue on menu bar. That right?

I've just set up an Apple TV device to try and stream audio from my laptop Pro to my DAC, then into my pre-amp. Set it up using the TV screen
but then disconnected it and plugged it into my DAC via a toslink cable. But no output. I don't need it for TV, just sound streaming.
The streaming icon is showing blue on the menu bar - is that correct? Any ideas? Thanks

Need toslink cable for my X

Hi, my PC has the Creative [url="http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=&subcategory=208&product=5854 ">Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatalty Pro Series[/url] and was wondering if a [url="http://www.divinecables.co.uk/audio-interconnect/084/imagecomingsoon">Van Den Hul Optocoupler Mini Toslink to Toslink Cable m[/url] would work in connecting my card to an optical device.
Basically, I want to know if my card is able to use Toslink-to-mini, or would i have to buy the I/O module and just have toslink-to-toslink.

That card does not have mini toslink. The only way to use the digital out is with the digital i/o adapter.

Which Firewire cable to buy?

I need to buy a firewire cable for my new iMac. I have a Sony FX1E camera which uses a 4 pin Firewire I think!.
Which Firewire cable do I need - there are so many different ones in PC World.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The iMac has a 9 pin Firewire port, so you would need a 4 pin to 9 pin cable. I would check with the camera manufacturer because the camera may require a special cable that they manufacture that prevents the iMac from sending to much wattage and burning out the camera.
