On this episode of The Mac Attack - Connecting your Mac to a TV
Please review and digg the show: Visit the show web site at themacattack.tv for show notes and links to the software, hardware, and products mentioned during the podcast.
Apple adapters: Once you have your computer connected you'll want to set your computer to video mirroring mode via the Display Preference pane. The simplest way to get sound from your computer to your flat screen tv is to use an 1/8'' stereo audio cable (You can tell it's stereo because of the two stripes around the connector). The ends, or connectors look like what you would see on a pair of headphones. The 1/8" jack on your computer is usually marked by a headphones graphic. To get audio to your standard tv - you will probably need to use a 1/8" audio jack to rca adapter... Here's an example 1/8" Mini Stereo to RCA Mac to XBox 360 - Connect360 Mac to PlayStation 3 - MediaLink control + scroll wheel = ZOOM ------------

From the Mac Core web site: "Corey and Katie sat down with Steve Stanger of The Mac Attack and devoted a special podcast to the topic of becoming Apple Certified. This is a little different show for us, but we’ve gotten a ton of listener feedback on this topic and thought it warranted its own show. Steve and Corey talk about the reasons they choose to become Apple Certified, talk about the reasons to become certified, the different types of certifications Apple offers and answers listener questions about the certification process." http://media.libsyn.com/media/themaccore/themaccore08-0906.mp3 Category:podcasts

The show is back...
After doing 90 shows of Mac tips tricks and hints. I'm stopping production on the mac attack. I'm not ruling out starting the show again at some point in the future. When that may be, I don't know. I just feel at this time I would like to go on and try something new... Maybe bring back my music podcast, "The Loud Room" or try producing something completely different. When I do start up something new, I'll post a note on the mac attack web site. Thanks to the generous contributions from some of you the web site and show will remain online for the foreseeable future. The one thing that I didn't expect when I started TMA is the number of new friends I would make because of the show. I really enjoyed talking to a lot of you when you caught me on skype or through the emails and messages that you sent and left. I also got to know some great podcasters and bloggers during the last two 1/2 years. Not only were they helpful when I had questions about producing the show, but they became good friends outside of podcasting also. This really isn't good bye.... I'll still be popping up here and there on other podcasts and I'll have something new going soon.... |

Thanks for all of the emails. Everything is OK. It took me a little longer then expected to get settled in after the move. Plus my hours at work changed so I was adjusting to the new schedule (I know, blah, blah, blah) :-) I will have a new show out by the end of the month. Talk to you soon. -Steve Category:Announcement
