Will 10 meter HDMI cable work without dropouts with Intensity & MacPro?

Has anyone had experience with a 10 meter cable and capturing thru HDMI using an Intensity card and Mac Pro dual core?
Unsure if I can get away with a 10 meter cable.
Also, curious if I can capture to ProRes without issues onto a non-RAID Western Digital Caviar RE2 WD7500AYYS 750GB.

could I add two drives to my Mac Pro dual core and use them as a striped RAID - just to capture?
Capture, edit with...everything. As your MEDIA drives...where you store the media...not just for capture. And RAID 0 is always risky....which is why I back up all my media onto cheaper firewire drives. OR, you can get a Raid 5 solution (if a drive dies, your media is still fine).
what is the sustained write speed I'd need in case I moved to a RAID card?
Depends on the ProRes setting you choose. BUT, err on the safe side and assume the HQ setting. 25MB/s, so a simple 2 drive raid stripe will get you 65MB/s for firewire, and 80MB/s if internally. A single SATA drive might handle this, but it won't have a lot of head room (extra speed in case of...something)...so it might drop a from on occasion. That is why a Raid is good.
Apple does make a RAID card, but it doesn't do RAID 5....AFAIK. No, for RAID 5 you need an external drive case.

How do I stream video from my macbook pro onto my tv? Will an HDMI cable work?

I'm trying to get hulu to play on my television but I'm confused about what I need to hook my macbook pro up to my television. My television has a spot for an HDMI cable but I don't know what the macbook requires to make this happen. Googling it just confused me more. I'm looking for the simplest way to make it happen. Thank you!

Why doesn't facetime on iphone 4 work without wifi with straight talk?

why doesn't facetime on iphone 4 work without wifi with straight talk when other networks can?

Hardware requirements of the iphone 4 do not meet the specifications needed for FaceTime over cellular data.
4S and up do not require wifi for FaceTime.
this is exactly as intended.

Will regular USB cables work with my macbook pro?

There could be a number of reasons I am having problems, but I have a Line 6 UNX interface that is compatible with Macs. The software is installed but the mac doesn't seem to recognize the device via the USB port. Will the USB cable from the Line 6 device work or will i need to purchase a firewire cable?

Googling "Line 6 UNX" produces no hits, so I have no clue what sort of device you're talking about. To the best of my knowledge, "regular USB cables" are the only USB cables in existence, so if you have such a cable that's known to be in working condition and your device is also in working order, it should be detected by the MBP. Have you tested another USB device (e.g. a flash drive or printer) in the same port on the computer, to make sure the port is active? If it isn't active, try resetting the SMC to bring it back to life:

If the device also has a FireWire port available and you have a FireWire cable, you can certainly try connecting it via FireWire and see what happens. That may be an effective short-term workaround if you have one or more bad USB ports on your computer, but you will certainly want to remedy that situation before long.

MacMiniServer (late 2009): Will this HDMI adapter work?

I have a mac mini SNL server (late 2009) model.
Currently, I have it hooked up to my Samsung 42" DLP
via the mini display to vga adapter I bought the same day I got it,
and a cheap VGA cable I picked up at BestBuy for >$15.
But now, I'm thinking I should go with HDMI, simply because:
a. the TV supports it, and
b. The Cheap VGA cable doesn't screw into the adapter, and occasionally
while plugging in / out an iPod, the VGA cable will come loose
from the adapter.
I'm looking at this adapter via NewerTech that is on sale right now at OWC.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/CBLMDPHDMI/
that, & a cheap HDMI cable ( >$12) at Walmart.
Would that work? What else might I need to do?

Yes, that cable combination will work.

HDMI cable - Plus Pay TV with HDMI cable. How to correct?

Today i purchased Apple tv and was told to buy a HDMI cable which i did. My problem is my tv has 1 input and that input currently has HDMI cable connected to the Austar unit (pay TV). Any ideas how to correct this please? i.e. double adapter etc.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The cheaper option is an HDMI switch, if you get one ensure you can exchange it if need be, not all will work as they should.
You might also want to consider a receiver and sound system, modern receivers tend to have multiple HDMI inputs which would solve your problem.

My thunderbolt to hdmi cable worked once but then stopped

so i bought a thunderbolt to HDMI adapter and it work great but when i took out the hdmi and put it in my console id didnt work when i checked if it would work with the adapter is didnt so this adaper stoped working a broke my HDMI cord

Hi, how did you solve your problem? Im having the exact same issue.
"When connected to the TV via the Thunderbolt-HDMI cable, a blue screen briefly appears on the Macbook. However, when looking in System Preferences/ Displays, there is no trace of any external screen. Many of the forums I have read say there should be an "Arrangement" tab, but this is not appearing on mine."
plus the cable works on my boyfriend's Macbook Air, which is an older version than mine.
I have the Macbook Air Version 10.8.4, bought July 2013 (newest version).
Can someone help me?
Thanks

Will a firewire cable work with a mini display port?

I recently upgraded to a new Macbook Pro and I need to transfer my files from the older macbook pro.
Can I use a thunderbolt cable to transfer files from my 2008 Macbook Pro (using a mini display port) to my new Macbook Pro thunderbolt port? It would be great if this could work. Otherwise, I will have to return this (still unopened) cable for another option.
The older notebook is running SnowLeopard (10.6.8), and the new one is running the most recent version of Mountain Lion (10.8.2).
Any feedback or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thunderbolt was introduced in 2011. So, while the ports looks the same, they are not functionally the same. You'll need to use another interface (firewire, USB) to transfer files between the two computers.
Personally, I'd hold on to that cable though. I never know when a cable's going to come in handy. But that's just my personal preference, not shopping advice :-)

Will incase lightning cables work with the ios7 iphone 5s

Im paranoid now that I have an iphone 5s and some of my lightning cables dont work
incase is running a sale and I wanted to know if apple supports the mfi incase lightning cables.
They are way to expensive to buy one and find out that ios7 will not allow the phone to charge

Completely depends on whether Incase have licenced from Apple the use of the lightning technology in their cables .
If they have they will work ,if not it is a cheap ripoff copy ( maybe they were unlicenced and are being dumped as they now are effectively useless )
Buy genuine Apple or any brand that is sold on the the Apple on-line store

Will any vga cable work with all mac minis?

They should, but you will need a VGA to DVI adaptor. I thank that adaptor ships with the mini.

Will McAfee work without conflict with Mosilla 6 upgrade.

Early on I thought I read where there were problems using McAfee security with the 6 update. Is that the case?, or does McAfee have to be disabled only for the installation process?

Apple TV Would a Ethernet/HDMI cable work in boosting the HD signal when watching or downloading rented films?

I have a Apple TV which is about a year old. There is a new type of cable on the market. This cable is both Ethernet/HDMI. This cable will boost the signal for both HD and a 1080 television. At present Sky, will work with this new type of cable? Therefore, I was wondering if The Apple TV will also support this new type of cable?

No one here (we are all users like yourself) would know what Apple's plans are. Not sure what the advantage to this cable would be to the AppleTV.
