MacBook Pro :: How To Make A 2 To 3 Prong Adapter Ground With My 2 Prong Only Outlets
Nov 5, 2010I have my macbook pro in my bedroom, & a power strip, but all the outlets are 2 prongs. I dont have any knowledge of electrical wiring, so any suggestions on just changing the outlet to 3 prong wont work for now, nor do I have alot of money to hire an electrician.
I live at home with family, I dont own the house, so I cannot be drilling holes in the wall, running long wires outdoors or doing anything that will blow out our breakers. I need something simple that will not require a major upheaval.
I read that one can attach a wire to the little metal part of a 2 to 3 prong adapter & run the wire to a pipe.
the best that I could do would be to attach some sort of wire to the 2 to 3 prong adapters metal piece, & attach or wrap the other end of the wire to something metal in my room, maybe bring in a small piece of pipe & wrap the wire around that. The outlet is awkward to get to, it is behind my desk. Would this work? & how do I do it to avoid shock or circuit blowout? what type of wire could I use?
right now, I have had the power strip plugged into the 2 to 3 prong adapter with is plugged into the outlet, & it had 2 lights on; one red for not protected, the other green; for grounded, they both glow on at the same time.

(and instead of using 3rd party programs like VNC etc)

View 15 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Directly Plug Into Router Via Ethernet - Use Mini DVI To HDMI Adapter?
Nov 17, 2010I'm struggling to find the best approach here. Here's what I got:
1) Mac Mini 2.0Ghz running Snow Leopard
2) Mac Book Pro 2.53Ghz running Leopard
3) Mac Book 2.0Ghz running Leopard
My wife and I each use a laptop as our regular computer. The Mac Mini we just picked up and are looking to use it as a home server (although it doesn't have Snow Leopard Server). We use a program for our business called Daylite that hosts a database that we share between laptops - this is being hosted on the Mac Mini, which will always be powered on so we each can access it. There are also a couple folders that we would like to share on the Mac Mini. This Mac Mini will also sit next to our HDTV to be used for streaming, HULU Netflix, etc. My problem is that I don't know the best way to configure the Mac Mini on the network. I have a Verizon Actiontec Router and Comcast Internet (Dynamic IP, although it has been the same for some time). My questions are:
1) Does it make a difference if I have the Mac Mini directly plugged into the router via ethernet vs wireless? Right now, when we try and File Share between the Mac Mini and laptops, it takes forever to connect, navigate, save files, especially if I am saving to the Mac Mini, from a laptop using Photoshop or even Word.
2) Do I gain anything from running the cable modem directly to the Mac Mini and the enable Internet Sharing from the two laptops, as opposed to using the router?
3) I transferred 1 gig worth of files from a laptop to the Mac Mini and it literally took an hour. I retried it using a direct connection via eithernet between the two computers and it took 10 minutes. I'm hoping that optimizing my setup will speed up my local network transfers. Yes, no?
4) Can I used a Mini DVI to HDMI adapter from my Mac Mini to my tv? If so, does this also send audio signal? It's an Early 2009 Mac Mini.

Mac Mini :: Unable To Get Display Via Tv / Connected Mini DVI To Video Adapter
Mar 28, 2009Just a warning, I bought a Mac Mini (2009) and wanted it to hook it up to my TV. My TV does not have HDMI or DVI inputs so I bought a Mini DVI to Video adapter from Apple.But I could not get it to work, then I googled for it and it seems this adapter does not work with 2009 Mac's since it does not output an analog signal anymore!

So anyone that wants to hook up his new Mac to an older TV set with the Video adapter, you are warned.I guess i'll have to buy a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter and then a VGA to SVIDEO converter..

Mac Mini :: Unable To Connect Mini Display Port To Vga Adapter
Apr 12, 2010So our church just purchased a nice refurb iMac to use for media presentations during weekly worship services. We have a projector with a VGA cable, so I bought a mini display port to VGA adapter from apple so that we can connect our shiny new iMac to our big screen.
However, when we attempt to connect our VGA to our adapter, they don't fit together properly. It's like the screws on the VGA cable aren't long enough to screw into the adapter...thus, the cable won't stay connected to the adapter (it just falls out).
Someone suggested getting an S cable to replace the VGA cable, but Apple tells me there's no adapter to link the S cable to the iMac. I'm absolutely clueless...surely there is a way to connect my wonderful new iMac to the big screen.
Any ideas?

May 4, 2012I'm getting overheating at the point where power enters the computer (the little cylindrical device that plugs into the magnetized power port.) The transformer feels fine, as does the cable, but that cylindrical plug gets way two hot to touch. Other answers relating to this subject indicate that charging an almost exhausted battery while also using the computer will cause overheating in the transformer, but the transformer feels fine. It's that little cylindrical plug that collects an amazing and worrisome amount of heat.

Mac Pro :: Finding X190XT Power Connector Plug?
Feb 21, 2008picked up an Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 for my X1900XT card. Got tired of hearing the stock fan kick up every month or so needed to be vacuumed out as the fins got clogged. Anywho, the cooler is designed to work alone without a fan and is working great, however I would like to install the fan module for the cooler to give it just a bit more cooling power, especially with hot Alabama summers on the horizon. Does anybody have a spare stock X1900XT fan 3 pin power plug available or know of a source of one? My Mac Pro is still under Applecare, so if anything happens and I need to get it back to Apple I need to return the video card to stock form, thus not allowing me to use the plug that is on the stock fan I removed.

Mac Mini :: Can I Plug Into My HDTV
Jan 2, 2009I'm really hoping for an update to the Mini at Macworld. With a new mini, I'd love the ability to connect it to my 36" HDTV and connect wirelessly with a keyboard and mouse from my couch. I would love to be able to use the Mac from the comfort of my living room for both work and pleasure. (I'm a bit of a gamer as well)
So my question is, is this a pipe dream?
Will the new Minis support an output to a HDTV? (Or for that matter, do the current minis?)
How far is the range for a standard bluetooth mouse & keyboard? Would it be possible to put the keyboard and mouse on my coffee table (about 6-8' from the TV)?
And most importantly, if this is all possible, will this make me the ultimate couch potato, and will I ever see daylight again?
OS X :: Plug And Play With Mini DVI Port And TV
Nov 26, 2010I searched and could not find my exact situation. I have:
MacBook (2008)
Intel 965GMA
OS X Snow Leopard
Windows 7 Ultimate
MiniDVI to HDMI Connecter
Sanyo LCD TV
Under Mac OS X, I could plug and play with the Mini DVI port and my TV, and everything ran smoothly. Under windows, however, the TV is not even recognized. I have updated the graphics driver, rebooted, and of course googled for a while. I installed all the drivers when I first used bootcamp, and have been keeping up to date with it.
Power Mac G5 :: Seems To Break Any Hard Drive - Plug In It - Via USB ESata Or Internal HD
Dec 3, 2007I get unexpected problems with a dual 1.8 G5 (2 GB RAM, 2 disks inside, both 320 GB). In fact, the machine seems to break any hard drive I plug in it (via USB, eSata or internal HD). The internal hard drive hosting the system is clicking every five minutes or so, and two external hard drives are now mostly unsable (they unexpectedly unmount when copying, or they just don't mount at all). I checked them all with DiskWarrior. Some times, they can be repaired, sometimes not.
The problems appear with Tiger and Leopard as well. I lost Time Machine backups form an external hard drive (Seagate 320GB, got "keys out of order" error message in DiskUtility). The other external HD I have to put my photos (750 GB Seagate) can be used in both eSATA via Lacie PCI card and USB. Both USB and eSATA fail unexpectedly (unmount while copying) and everytime the hard drives seems to fail more and more everytime I try to use them.
I used Apple products since years '80 (SE30) and did not have problems whatsoever with previous machine and my actual macbook Pro. This G5 is getting me crazy, and I don't want to put hundreds of dollars repairing since it is worth less than 800$ actually... Is it the power supply, the logic board, a problem with electric voltage up and down? I always found solutions to problems but now, it is the first time I don't see the light... I feel like everytime I plug a hard drive in this G5, I play with fire and may loose my backups and archives!
