I am curious if anyone has used the Hauppauge HD PVR with a MAC and an Audio Receiver.
I would like to know if i can plug the component 'out' from my HD PVR into the component 'in' on the receiver and have the video still go out my HDMI, on the receiver, to the tv.
How do I connect my macbook pro to my older tv with component connectors?
Info:
Mac Pro
I'm wondering if it's possible to play my Xbox on my MacBook display instead of on the terrible standard definition 13" TV I have at school.
Would it be possible to find a component to mini-display adapter?
does macbook pro mini display port connect to component video?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to get component video out (HDTV) and am trying to get a video card that can do that. This is for a Quad 2.66 Mac Pro, currently with a 7300GT. Is the HD 3870 it? Since it's a Mac & PC edition and the PC cards have had Component Out via adapter for some time, I am hoping that this card might do it. Naturally I don't want to buy just to find out it isn't. Their website is useless, as usual.

For those of you who aren't, this is a jack splitter; basically, it lets you plug two sets of headphones into one jack.My question is, does something similar exist for either HDMI cables or Component cables? I'm in the process of redoing my room, and I'm planning on connecting my MacBook, Wii, PS2, and Xbox to an HDTV. The Wii, PS2, and Xbox all use Component input, and I would like to be able to switch between them without having to unplug and replug a bunch of cables. I'm planning on hooking up my MacBook via HDMI, but I'm also looking into getting a Blu-Ray player later on, which will also require HDMI.

Recently acquired an iMac G5, first time booting up I got the question mark of death screen.
Reinstalled the OS and now it is a 50/50 gamble that it will either boot up or give me a kernal panic message.
Question:Is there a way to tell what is the bad component? If it's the HD or Ram, I think I can replace them easily enough.
My TV doesn't have DVI or VGA inputs, so I can only use component video input to plug my mac mini(mid 2007).
But I have serious problems with it. I have bought a Dvi to component video cable on eBay but it doesn't work with mac mini(it works with old PC).
QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component for Mac OS X, is it installed?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI bought & downloaded MPEG2 QT component in order to use for editing video from a DVD with home movies that had been converted from tapes. When I put on computer it was .cdr which could not be used in iMovie. I need to convert to one that will work. I also got MPEG Streamclip, both on advice from a forum discussion. where did it go on my computer? I have searched with Spotlight & it wasn't found.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2), files from Windows XP PC
Just bought this and I keep getting the error that it was designed for a previous version of Mac OS X.

I purchased a new MacBook Pro. Reinstalled all my applications from my MacBook. But for MPEG Streamclip, it is asking for The Apple QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which I bought back in 2009. The Apple Store isn't letting me download it again so I need to find the .dmg on my old MacBook. What is the filename?

I am using the Dynex mini-DVI to video component. I plugged the component into my mac and the extension cable to the tv.
Once the mac was on, the only thng the tv did was display static.
I tried searching through the display options to reset the resolution and and refresh rate, but was unsuccessful.
The tv I am trying to set up is a Sony 40" HDtv.

I have several Mac computer in my office and I have a problem to see my .mov files in them all. I think there is a component problem for quicktime, but I don't know why other third party application are not working with them. Especially My iMac can not show the File
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get iMovie HD running on a Mac here as a matter of urgency. However, I get the above error message when i try to launch it. Its really important I get it up and running today, but I don't have the Install disks for Tiger here at the moment. All I have access to is another Mac with a working install of iMovie on it.
Does anyone know if there's a hidden directory or the like that might have these components stored in it? I've copied across the Quicktime directory from Library, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
I lost a quicktime component in I Movie and I can't watch the video
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo last December my laptop got smashed and everything works except for the backlit screen. In fact I can still use this laptop it is just extremely hard since the screen does not light up. The person that smashed it ended up buying me a new laptop so I have this beat up (and I mean the shell is destroyed) laptop with quite a lot of functioning parts.
Now a few weeks ago my girlfriends Grandad spilled a beer on his brand new 2010 Macbook. The logic board is shot so it is almost cheaper for him to buy a brand new laptop.
Would it be possible for me to take the logic board out of my 2008 Black Macbook and put it into his 2010 White Macbook?
By far the most interesting benchmark trend coming out of the latest Macbook Air tests is that of the 320M GPU - is this thing somehow clocked differently than in the Macbook/Macbook Pro?
From:
[URL]
The latest Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 Ghz gets 33 FPS in Call of Duty 4, whereas the Macbook Air 13" (using the same 320M GPU) gets 40 FPS. Even the 1.4Ghz 11" gets 37! So obviously we're not talking about a CPU limited game - the only explanation then is that the GPU in the Macbook Air is clocked differently than in the 13" Macbook Pro, no?

Again the Macbook Air clocked at 2.13 ghz is beating the 2.4 Ghz Macbook Pro in World of Warcraft and Portal! And in WOW the 11" 1.4ghz still manages to beat the 2.4 Ghz 13" Macbook Pro.
Anyone have any additional insight into this? Anand did a terrible job of testing these for gaming performance, unfortunately, so he may not have even noticed this trend.
Is the white one the same size as the 13" aluminum that now went pro?Pretty much, I want to know if I buy a case for the original 13" Metal uMB from InCase, will it fit on this plastic one? They don't have blue for this, but they have blue for the original aluminum one.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a 2008 13" white, plastic MacBook. Its a bit slow, but adequate. Thinking of selling it and paying the difference to get the 11" MacBook Air. I've heard it is similar in speed and has the same processor.
The main problem I have with my current MacBook is that its heavy - I need something lightweight to easily carry to school and class for note-taking and such.
How is the Air better or worse, and would I be losing anything significantly by replacing the 08 plastic MB with a MBA?

I just upgraded my daughter from last year's MacBook to a new 2009 MacBook Pro (my mother will get her old one) by cloning the drive using SuperDuper. Everything works fine except it doesn't detect the audio hardware in the OS. I see that the new macbook pro has different audio hardware according to system profiler. Is there a way to copy the driver off the install DVD or should I just go ahead and reinstall everything.

My MacBook Pro was stoen this weekend and I need to know if the Find My Mac service can help locate it. Its a summer 2009 model 15" Macbook Pro. I have the computer's serial number, and the computer is registered to my Apple ID.

I just bought a macbook as a replace for my five year old iBook. I was planning on purchasing a second power adapter. I like the size and more rugged connector on the Macbook Air power adapter.
I have searched around and it sounds like the Air adapter will work with a MacBook but I am not completely convinced. I understand that this adapter will only charge or power the unit but not both.
Has anyone tried their Air adapter on a MacBook? Could an Air owner tell me the voltage and current rating (outputs) on their adapter?
I currently play warcraft on my older macbook pro. I am attracted by the latest macbook/macbook pros. But will the latest macbook still play warcraft well, or do I stay with the latest macbook pro?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wanted to know if I can replace the upper case of a Core Duo white macbook with that of a Core 2 Duo black macbook? The white one has the distinctive yellowing of the rev A macbooks, so i'd like to make it better whilst making a black/white frankenMac.
If not, can I at least replace the airport card?
I'm putting a computer in my kitchen that anybody in the house can use (kids & parents). It will be hooked up to a 24" LCD and also act as a small file server, dvd player and perhaps eyetv dvr.
I like the mini because it is small (can hide in the cabinet where spills won't get it), is cheap and uses only 13W when idle. But when I think down the road, 4 year old laptops seem a lot more useful than 4 year old mac minis. So I'm a bit torn.
So my questions are:
- Does anybody know how much power the macbook uses when "idle" (just running finder).
- Can the macbook be run with the lid closed? (I know old powerbooks used to vent hot air through the keyboard.)
(Then again, I have the computer in the kitchen so I can watch my kids on the computer. In 4 years they'll be 5 years old and probably want a laptop they could have in their own room - exactly what I want to avoid. And I'll probably upgrade my macbook pro by then anyway.)
I have a late 2009, white unibody MacBook which is 7 months old, and I have been noticing that the battery life is getting less and less, and am rather confused.I reset the SMC as per Apple instructions, and then followed the battery calibrating guide to the letter from apple.com, and tonight it seems to have lasted... 3.5 hrs! Hardly the quoted 7 hours that Apple spec, and I am simply doing light web browsing, nothing else.Am I doing something wrong? The machine sits connected to magsafe 90% of the time, but I cannot envisage that would cause any problem, as it knows when it is charged, so afaik no more current can get to the battery to damage it
