Can I plug my Apple into my TV?

Does it take some special equipment?

So take my laptop to the store and ask for the proper cable right?

What kind of TV inputs do you have and what are you trying to do? Also, what model Apple do you have?

Why are you guys always ruining threads? A member asked a question which was answered and The Clique comes in and trashes it.


Jeez.


I'm sure my son who can fit almost anything into an expensive electronic device would have no problem fitting and Apple in a DVD but a TV might be challenging.

There is actually a product called Apple TV that works something like an IPod for TV. I don't really understand why one would want this, but I have seen it at the Apple store.

I have a Macbook, I'm pretty sure my TV has a coaxial, S-video, and is it component video?

paste:
Amongst other things, the s-video port got lost from the new MacBook. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as the replacement is an adapter to go from DVI to s-video. If you happen to have a Powerbook around, you may wish to plug in both the s-video and DVI out simultaneously and observe the results. I managed to thoroughly confuse my graphics chipset as to what it was meant to be driving at what resolution whilst having both plugged in (disappointing, as I’d expected a 3rd desktop to appear in Display Preferences).
The adapter seems to ’solve’ this problem by making the DVI out and s-video mutually exclusive, at the expense of convenient access to the port. It’s at least a possible explanation for the lack of s-video, although I’d have preferred to see proper support for all outputs at once enabled on graphics chipsets..

I bought a 25 foot cable from them to connect my Dell E1505 to my TV via S-Video/RCAs.
