I've just got a new 2nd hand widescreen CRT TV with an RGBHV input. I'm curious to know whether I'd be able to connect an iPhone 4 to the TV using these two devices: http://store.apple.com/au/product/MC552ZM/B http://www.digitalconnection.com/products/cables/scvm5r.asp KingEup fucked around with this message at 08:26 on Aug 26, 2011 |

japtor posted:In theory that should work. Keep in mind you'd be limited to videos and stuff that works with external displays, i.e. no mirroring like on the iPad 2. What resolutions can the CRT display, 480p and 1080i or just an older 480i one? I have the VGA and HDMI adapters, but I've never tried it on anything other than 720/768p and 1080/1200p displays. I have no idea what the actual resolution of the tube is but apparently it accepts: Total scanning line___Effective scanning line___fV(Hz) 1125i_____________1080i________________50/60 720p______________720p________________50/60 625p ______________576p________________50 625i_______________576i_________________50 525p______________480p_________________60 525i_______________480i_________________60

I'm in the process of getting rid of as many wires/cables as I can from my iMac. The only peripheral that remains tethered to my iMac now is a FW800 HDD dock. I was hoping to get rid of this cable and replace the dock with something like the Time Capsule (but it's a loving rip off) and I don't think has a user replaceable drive. Is anyone making a mac compatible wireless HDD docking station? KingEup fucked around with this message at 14:12 on Sep 15, 2011 |

The My Passport Studio boasts an all aluminium enclosure and two FireWire 800 ports. Use the second FireWire port to daisy chain an additional drive. I'll take 10. But seriously, how many can I daisy chain before bus power is insufficient?

mediaphage posted:If you do find that the glare is a problem for you, both HP and Dell make 27-inch displays with the same panels, and I believe both are finished with a matte surface. I don't actually understand this. I have a glossy and matte screen side by side. At certain times of day the reflection on the matte display renders it completely unusable - you cannot see anything on the screen at all. The glossy display, whilst it has some reflections, at least remains readable. I posted a photo in the last thread as evidence.

coldplay chiptunes posted:The whole glossy/matte debate really doesn't deserve to get posted about as much as it does. There's nothing anyone on the internet can tell you to sway you one way or the other. It's simply a personal preference thing and you'll just have to try it out yourself and see if you're okay with it. Most people transition to the glossy display just fine, while others seem to really freak out at the slightest reflection. Either it will bug you or it won't. Try it yourself and find out. I totally agree, but as someone with a glossy and matte screen, the claim that glossy screens are bad because in some lighting circumstances the screen is hard to read totally ignores the fact that, in some lighting circumstances, a matte screen is harder to read.

The keyboard/mouse are connected to the Mac, and the when I type on the PC, most of the buttons like the alt and ctrl keys don't work. The documentation and support for synergy is totally lacking and I eventually just gave up. I plain couldn't get it to work.

I am one of many who would like to use an MBA as a portable machine, then crank out some Skyrims or Battlefields, etc. at home. I would love to know the answer to this.

wheez the roux posted:So I finally made the plunge and ordered a 2.3 rMBP with 16gb RAM to replace my 2007 2.2 C2D MBP. I was pretty excited since I'd read all kinds of positive reviews, but then I got to this part in Anandtech's review. loving seriously? The latest greatest computer from Apple can't scroll down webpages without pegging the CPU and sputtering? How in the hell is it getting such a positive review when it can't even do something my phone, cheap netbook, and even the Retina iPad can do just fine? Is the rMBP even worth it if the hardware isn't where it needs to be to drive the display? It sounds incredibly halfassed and is making me seriously reconsider my purchase. Makes the 16GB of ram a tad redundant.

I thought is was running in 1440x900 hidpi.

So I marched into the Apple store today and used SetRes.app to change the resolution on the RMBP to 1440x900. Defintely fixes the FPS issue but looks godawful. I hope ML is Apple's version of Project Butter.

I'm probably going to buy a new base level mac mini to replace my early 2008 iMac (which died). I want to add an SSD myself. Can anyone tell me whether the base mini has room enough for a second HDD? Are the internals layed out exactly like the server model? Do they have caddies or will I have to buy these seperately? I heard somewhere that adding a second HDD requires a complete teardown but if you just want to replace the HDD with a SSD it does not. Is this true?

They really need to fix this scrolling issue. I checked out the retina pros today and god drat, it's an embarrassment. The 15 inch is not as bad as the 13 inch but, there's no way I could cope with what I saw at the Apple store. I want butter smooth web browsing and I don't think that's too much to expect.

Electric Bugaloo posted:Part of me thinks that the Thunderbolt-hub design of the new Mac Pro is for cost cutting. It'll likely cost more to outfit with the same amount of storage as the old internal bays, but I bet the standalone machine's cheaper. This is part of the reason I love this thing. It just does compute. I don't store anything on my computer anymore, everything is in the cloud (music) or on my NAS (wdtvlive hub).

flyboi posted:Edit: and to be honest after my experience with this iMac I have 0 care to buy into Apple desktop hardware ever again. The superdrive failed within the first year of owning it and it's already starting to fail completely less than 2 years after getting it. In hindsight I wish I had opted for AppleCare but this is below even most PC manufacturers in terms of quality. I'd be perfectly content if I could use the iMac as an external display but from everything I'm reading it pretty much will only work with Thunderbolt macs in OSX which is pretty disheartening. What country do you live in? Some countries have statutory warranty legislation. In Australia you would get this replaced by Apple even though it falls outside their own manufacturers warranty.

Splinter posted:Anyone have experience with this Logitech wireless solar keyboard? Any issues? I'm looking for a wireless keyboard for use when my MBP is 'docked', and am leaning toward this one since it has the number pad unlike the Apple wireless and I like the idea of not having to worry about batteries. I use this with my mac and I love it. As someone else mentioned, it would be even better if you could pair it with more than one device like some of their newer models.

Wow, I cehcked out the retina imac in store today and mission control is basically a joke. The choppyness is obscene. There was either something really wrong with the imac or it's a product nowhere near ready for market. The actual lcd panel is a sight to behold. It shits all over the NEC 4k display that was set up next to it. KingEup fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Oct 25, 2014 |
