I have an IMac 10.6. EyeTV3 is software for watching tv on the Mac. I don't have cable or satellite on my regular tv. Can I still watch tv with that software on my Mac? [URL]
View 4 RepliesI have satellite TV.. Sky. We are upgrading our package and having Multiroom now which means we will have a box downstairs for our regular satellite and box upstairs which will be able to change channels etc.
Now, I plan on buying an iMac for my bedroom. But I have a decision of buying a LCD TV or using the iMac as a TV as well as a computer. Now it would save me money (as I'm definitely getting an iMac) and I would certainly be happy if it was possible to use the iMac as a TV and hook up the satellite to the TV. Is this possible? If so, please could you direct me to anything I would need to do this?
I was looking into Apple TV, but it just seems to be a Wifi gadget that allows me to watch iTunes movies/music etc on a TV. What I want is clearly different.
I'm currently on Satellite broadband (unfortunately no other option where I live) and the latency is, as expected, very high. While downloading files is no problem, loading pages like NZHerald and using Google is awful. Generally it takes forever (slower than dial up) and often Google fails to load.
Can someone suggest some third-party software so that I can make this bearable?
I've heard of using software to somehow optimise broadband so that it requests sites differently.
I wonder if it's passable to hackintosh my Toshiba satellite pro S300 laptop with MAC os 10.6

i've got an imac with an air-tunes express, and i'm trying to find away to play sirius satellite radio through itunes so i can run it through my home stereo.

I do appreciate it when posters also reccommend other speaker brands in the thread, but i would like to warn that I need to purchase from the apple online store as I have a decent sized giftcard, and i sorely want better speakers (currently have bose companion 3s) for my new imac 27inch
A friend of mine, who's new to apple computers, is using an old powerbook g4 (15" inch) running OS 10.4.9. Everything was normal (except for the screen which is screwed up in the bottom half. But suddenly now as soon as it boots up, it doesn't show the apple logo, but shows a blue screen with a yellow satellite kinda looking graphic, floating around. I can hold the shift button and boot into safe-mode, but I have no clue of what to do, as I don't know what went wrong.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was wondering how I could file share, or make the whole Hard Drive (HDD) accessible to another computer. The two other computers I have are a Toshiba Laptop with Ethernet and USB, and a iMac Intel with Firewire, USB, and Ethernet. Putting these to use along with:Three Ethernet Cables Now how do I get the whole HDD visible to the others computers (either/both) and be able to write to it? Also, I do not want to use CDs and have no CDs that came with the computers. I want to put Xubuntu on the eMac and Debian on the iMacs and erase the rest of the Hard Drives. The computers getting this are the iMac G3s and the eMac G4 in my Signature.

I cannot connect both at he same time. I use broadband cable from Cable Vision in New York. I was told about a router. Can anyone give me advice on the name of good router and whether on not it will slow down the access speed on the internet?

I bought a cable and connected it to the Mac Pro, but the receiver(where I want to plug the line in) is old and only received optical. Is there some sort of adapter that would convert the connect that doesn't cost $200? I was able to connect an analog cable from the front of the mac pro's headphone jack into the back of the receiver, but the sound isn't really the greatest.

Can I split the cable line in my room so that I may watch TV, or would this cut my download/upload bandwidth in half?

Is there some kind of cable or connection that would allow me to have my cable tv play on my Mac? In my den/home office I basically have a tv and a Mac sitting side by side - seems kinda crazy since I can watch movies and such on my Mac, just thought maybe I could eliminate the tv altogether.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just bought a new 24 inch LCD monitor. It has a VGA, a DVD-D and a HDMI Port. I have a G5 Mac with a DVI-I and an ADC port. The monitor came with a VGA cable. The sales person sold me a DVI to DVI cable (single link, 18+ 1 pin), but I get this message on the screen - "check signal cable." Is this the wrong cable? I just moved so am thinking it might be that something's loose in the tower. Perhaps there is there a better way to connect the two. When I got home I read in the manual "Mac adapter For Apple Macintosh use, a separate plug adapter is needed to change the 15 pin high density (3 row) D-sub VGA connector on the supplied cable to a 15 pin 2 row connector." but that seems weird since neither of my ports are 2 rows. perhaps I should try DVI to HDMI? I do web design and video. Also, can you get these cables at Futureshop? I am now in a rather small town and don't have a Mac store.

I cannot find this extension cable, which is unfortunate because I just picked up a second Cinema Display on eBay, and now I can't use it! (Unless I want to crack open the plastic on the DVI connector end...)
I called Apple, they no longer make or offer this cable, and are unable to locate one for me at this time. Does anyone happen to have theirs? If so, are you willing to part with it?
When using PC, WINDOWS warned about not to disconnect USB/FW connected hardware until you ask the system to do so and the system confirmed it was safe to do so. However, I've been told that with Mac you can directly connect/disconnect the cables without any previous confirmation from the system. I'm confused, since I can not find how to get confirmation form the MAc that it is safe to disconnect the USB/FW.
View 6 Replies View RelatedAbout a week ago, I ordered an ATA to USB cable for my old internal HD that was in my MBP. I was hoping to turn my old internal into an external for something like Time Machine.When I got it, I tried to hook it up... and of course it doesn't fit (you can see on the attached pic). Quoted from the OWC site where I bought it: "Compatible with any 2.5" IDE device!" Well, my HD is a 2.5" ATA and what do you know, not compatible.

View 4 Replies View Relatedmy company has been given a PowerPC, which I believe is a Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver). It's Model number is M8493. For video output, it has a ADC and VGA connections (both female).
We have a Cinema Display, and it's model number is A1081 that has a DVI-D (male) cable.
Anyway, basicly I was wondering whether if I had a VGA cable to connect to the PowerPC and then used a VGA to DVI-D converter if the display will work.
I've looked under the ACD to DVI adapter router but I can't find any in the UK so I'm wondering if the VGA to DVI converter will be the answer.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow to determine what I need to get to connect my 10.6.2 Mac (2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) to the analog TV set.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have two VGA cables. My first is simply a cheap one which I have been using for the past few months on my full HD (1080p) TV. I use a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter on my 17" Macbook Pro and have been able to get full HD output to my TV.
However, this cable was poorly shielded and I got some wavy lines from other TV inputs.
I've just got a new VGA cable, and this has far greater shielding (so that problem is fixed), however I cannot get it to go above a resolution of 1400x1050 - going to 1920x1080 @60Hz as I did with the other cable gives me a message from my TV - "Unsupported signal. Adjust your PC output."
When I try and use the 'Detect Displays' button in System Preferences, I don't see anything happen as a result...
Edit: After a bit of research, my new cable is actually an SVGA cable. It has the same pins, layout etc and as far as I'm aware it should work. Why doesn't it!?
Edit2: Tried another VGA cable, and that works. So my findings are that 'Super-VGA' cable doesn't work, at least by default. Any way I can fix this?
I've reached a point where I cannot fit any more HDDs into my Mac Pro. The computer is packed to the gills.
The issue is the cabling is a mess and I can't even close the cover anymore. That's annoying as my apartment is dusty, so I have to clean it often.
I'm also trying to add one more drive, but I have no space.
I have a gateway 24" flat screen that I am trying to hook up via VGA to my i5 macbook pro. I have hooked up this computer to projectors before with no problem, but for some reason when I plug it into the monitor it says no signal even when I refresh it in system properties. I thought the cable might be weird, but it works with a windows computer that I have.
