Will this cable work for connecting the Mac Mini's optical out to my audio system?

Mac Mini's optical out to my audio system's Toslink optical in using this cable?
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/297015-REG/Hosa_Technology_OPQ_210_Toslink _Male_to_Mini_Toslink.html
Or must I use an adapter/Toslink cable combination?
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/516240-REG/Hosa_Technology_GOP_490_TOSlink _Optical_Female_to.html + Toslink cable
If both works, which one is better in your opinion?

The cable in the 1st link should work fine. (Toslink to Mini-Toslink)

  • Will this cable work for watching movies from my laptop in my HDTV?

    Does anyone know if this works, I want to use a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable http://bit.ly/6BT6W3 to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony LCD HDTV via HDMI to watch movies from my laptop in my TV? I read that there were problems with the audio using the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.

    I brought a iPhone (A1429) unlocked, sent it as a gift to my mate in Arizona, she is on the Verizon Network which in CDMA Will this phone work for her or have I just wasted $900 :/ I have done all the research and to me it looks like it should work.
    Can anyone give me a difintive answer please.

    Yes but I have brought the A1429 where as the information you provided states that it's the A1428.
    The unlocked iPhone 5 is model A1428. For details on LTE support see www.apple.com/iphone/LTE. The unlocked iPhone will not work with CDMA carriers such as Verizon Wireless or Sprint. Learn more about the unlocked iPhone

  • Will this battery work for my laptop?

    I have a laptop from like 2009. It's going to crap and I recently got a new one, but it still runs, albeit slowly on startup and everything, and I think it's because of the battery, as it says "Consider Replacing Battery" and when I unplug the charger it just shuts off, and it only charges to 51%. So what I want to know is will this battery work for my laptop? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007W1QBO4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AF7ENLFPN87DK
    The battery right now says "Replace with HP Spare 593550-001 and says 2010/10. This battery says 593553-01, but it looks almost identical to my current battery. So will this get the job done?

    Hi,
    What is the model of your computer ? (HP 2000 is a series, not a model). Please check the compatible list:
       http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?SearchText=593553-001
    By the way, slow booting up may not due to weak/faulty battery. Can it boot faster using AC ?
    Regards.

  • Does the Mac mini have optical audio in?

    Hello!
    I have been looking at a lot of forums that say that the Mac mini has optical audio or "Toslink" out and in if you use this adaptor:
    http://www.amazon.com/Recoton-Fiber-Optic-Toslink-Adapter/dp/B0002MQGRM
    I was wondering of this was true. I want to connect my Xbox to the Mac mini so I can monitor the audio coming from it because my display dosen't have speakers.
    Please help me clear up the confusion.

  • Will this ram work for the original MBP?

    Got a MBP and want to upgrade to 4g ram, will this one work?
    http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0926INGFS10101436&catid=2036 1&logon=&langid=EN
    thanks

    Yes, that RAM module will work, but the original 2006 Core Duo model has a maximum of 2 GBs of RAM. You would need a Core 2 Duo model in order to install 4 GBs. If you have the 2006 C2D model you can install 4 GBs, but only 3 GBs will be available for use.

  • Will this Ram work for S10

    Does anyone know if this would work for the S10?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    ok, that's better.   while non-ECC memory supposedly works in the S10, i believe it's set up to normally accept ECC memory.   also keep in mind that if combining memory, you can't use non-ECC with ECC as the S10 won't boot past POST.
    part of the benefits of having a proper workstation is error checking.   in my opinion ECC memory is the best way to go, even if non-ECC memory works.

  • Will this configuration work for CS5.5?

    Will this Dell work? Intel i7-2600? 16 GB dual channel DDRS SDRAM at 1333Mhz, nvidea geforce gt530? Want to buy Production Premium but have limited budget, don't need top of line computer performance, just workable ... All advice greatly appreciated. (I couldn't find in tech specs which video cards are supported.) Am also looking at Canon XF 100, which i think is supported by CS5.5, right?

    John,
    The GT 530 is very slow. It has only 96 cores, crummy DDR3 video RAM, only 128-bit memory bus. Basically a GT 430 with a new OEM-only name on it.
    The Quadro 4000 is a ripoff as far as Premiere Pro CS5.5 performance is concerned: It is basically similar in performance to the GTX 460 SE (not the regular GTX 460): Only 256 cores on the Quadro 4000 versus 288 cores on the GTX 460 SE. Worse, the Quadro 4000 costs five times more money than the GTX 460 SE.

  • No sound from tv speakers connected to mac mini (toslink/digital out)

    Hi there,
    I followed this guide: http://www.tuaw.com/2009/08/21/ultimate-mac-mini-htpc-guide-hardware/ and bought a toslink to get audio from the mac mini to the tv speakers (sony bravia kdl40v5100). However, I can't hear any audio coming out from the tv speakers. What's up?
    On a side note, I got the mac mini display connected with hdmi to my tv, which works well.
    Let me know, thanks.
    Message was edited by: sputskee

    According to the specs of your display, the kdl40v5100 does not allow you to make a digital audio connection between your mini and the TV, and therefore you can not use the TOSLINK cable you purchased to do this..
    However, you can make an analog connection. At the back of your TV, you will notice that one of your HDMI inputs has 2 plugs next to it- a red one and a white one.
    Here is a picture of the back of your set. Look at number 5. This is where you will make the connection.
    http://www.retrevo.com/r/23482dj787/9/LocatingInputs+and+Outputs#q=SonyKDL-40V5100
    This is where you will connect the mini audio, by using a cable that looks like this...

    (and of course, if the HDMI for the mini is not plugged into the neighboring HDMI port you will have to switch things around to do so.

  • Will this enclosure work for the hard drive on my G4 laptop.

    I am looking for an enclosure that will all me to connect my G4 Laptop Hard drive...will this work?
    http://www.sourcingmap.com/brown-usb-sata-hdd-aluminum-external-hard-drive-enclo sure-case-p-18880.html

    Pre-September 2003 Powerbook G4s without a PCMCIA slot will be limited to USB 1.1 speeds with this enclosure.
    PCMCIA and Post September 2003 Powerbooks can use the hard drive with reasonable speed as USB 2 if there are no other USB 1.1 devices connected to the USB port. PCMCIA powered USB adapters exist that can be used for those Powerbooks with PCMCIA.
    Neither series Powerbook will be able to boot Mac OS X from that enclosure. A Firewire enclosure would be needed to boot the the drive as an external drive, and know you have a reliable clone, if your purpose is to make a clone backup.
    Note, you posted this question in the iBook G4 forum, yet your profile indicates you have a Powerbook G4. We can ask a moderator move your thread if your question is regarding Powerbooks. No iBook has PCMCIA slots. Look beneath your screen on the screen's frame, but above the keyboard to determine which machine you have. Powerbooks can be identified here:

  • I am looking to purchase an Apple G4/500 to submit graphics etc. across the internet for an independent newspaper. Will this tower work for this purpose ?

    I am looking to purchase an Apple G4/500 to submit graphics etc. across the internet for an independent newspaper. Will this tower suit my needs to start ?

    Thank you for helping me consider all of this. I am a novice at this newspaper project so I am unsure of what all I need to consider. I will find out and go from there. I do not have a lot of revenue to start with so when I found a deal, I thought it may be a consideration to start with.

  • I have a 2009 Macbook Pro and the charger stopped working. Will this charger work for it, or do i have to find an old 1 online?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    That charger is perfect for your MacBook Pro, so you can buy it and use it with your computer. If you want, you can buy the 85W one, that provides more power and makes the battery charge faster, at least for the 15 and 17-inch MacBook Pro

  • Will this idea work for recovering a hard drive? Please assist.

    My parents Mac stopped working this week. Specifically their hard drive seems to be down. (Flashing ? on startup). They have a beige PowerMac G3 300MHz with an 8GB HD. The HD is formatted into two partitions. They run OS 9.2.2. They have done little if any preventative maintenance in the last 2 years.
    What I have done so far:
    1) Booted from OS 9.2.2 CD
    2) Partition 1 (with the System Folder) does not mount. The
    computer said it did not recognize the disk and asked if
    I wanted to initialize it. I declined.
    3) Partition 2 (no System Folder) does mount. Files are
    visible.
    4) Ran Disk Utility on Partition 1. Disk Utility found
    problems but was unable to correct them. Restarted and
    ejected 9.2.2 CD.
    5) Attempted to boot DiskWarrior 2.1.1 CD. Did not work -
    perhaps the old machine has difficulty with burned
    disks. It has been known to happen.
    My Diagnosis: Since Partition 2 mounts, but Partition 1 does not, I guess that the directory on Partition 1 is corrupt, preventing the computer from finding the System Folder.
    Prescription: rebuild the directory.
    Problem: how to rebuild the directory if DiskWarrior CD doesn't boot?
    My Proposal: I have a slot loading iMac 500 G3(summer 2001, I believe). I also have a iMac 800 G4. My plan is to remove the ailing Hard Drive from their machine, and put it into the iMac 500 G3. I will then start the iMac 500 in Target Disk mode, and connect it to the iMac 800 via FireWire. I will then use DiskWarrior 4 on the iMac 800 to rebuild the directory of the drive in the iMac 500. Does this sound like a plausible plan? Please comment if you see any holes in my plot (ie - will DW 4 even work on a drive with only 9.2.2 and has never seen 10.x on it at all, or will it just mess it up more?). If you have any helpful suggestions or easier ways to do this, please let me know! Thanks.

    I have one of the beige beauties, a 300 also. By today's standards they are a little slow in OSX, but in Os9 they really cook! One of the real beauties of these beige wonders is that they are so flexible. You can actually run two ATA/IDE drives on the same buss in a Slave/Master configuration and there is plenty of room, cabeling, and power connectors already installed for the job. If you have a spare 50 pin SCSI drive hanging around you can stuff that in also.
    My suggestion would be to leave the iMacs out of the repair loop, get a spare drive (they are dirt-cheap on eBay), put OS9 on the spare, or even the 2nd partition of your present drive (you are still within the boot partition requirements of the 8GB drive in the 2nd partition), and do the repairs on the beige using its own drives.
    The suggestion of getting a firewire enclosure is a good one. They really come in handy. Get a good enclosure, ie-pay some money for it. The cheap ones tend to loose their power supplies. The drawback is that the beige won't boot from it like it will from an internal IDE.
    Unless there is information on the boot partition of the 8GB drive that they positively have to access, I'd abandon that drive and start over. It's just too much fussing and time spent otherwise, and Disk Warrior occasionally comes up short.

  • Will this setup work for Color Calibration / Matrox / Enzio Monitor

    Hi, I'm getting conflicting answers from Matrox forum and DVinfo.
    I'm wondering if this setup will work for editing wedding films as well as doing color correction...
    I'm using FCP 7 / FCS 3. I have a DVI input as well as a DisplayPort input on my Mac Tower which is about year old.
    Monitor: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/687611-REG/Eizo_CG223W_BK_ColorEdge_CG223W _22_Widescreen.html
    Converter/Capture Card: (This is where I'm confused.) I'd also like to keep it under $800 if possible and be compatible with FCP X
    http://www.sharbor.com/products/MTXN5010167.html
    Can I also use a displayport to HDMI to connect my Mac tower to the Matrox as well as a HDMI to DisplayPort to connect the Matrox to the monitor or will this ruin or downgrade the signal?
    Or is there another card that I could use that is simple to install?
    Thanks for you help!

    >Can I also use a displayport to HDMI to connect my Mac tower to the Matrox as well as a HDMI to DisplayPort to connect the Matrox to the monitor or will this ruin or downgrade the signal?
    No.  The Matrox MXO2 line connects one of three ways: PCIe slot in MacPro, Express34 for MacBook Pro, and Thunderbolt (additional cost for the adapter).  If you have a MacPro..you put the MXO2 adapter card into one of the PCIe slots, then connect that to the MXO2 box.
