If your video is currently hooked up to your TV with the standard composite cable (red/white/yellow) included with the system, then you can opt for either an HDMI cable (as Milk84 suggested) or a component cable (red/green/blue) set to HDTV. Best to make sure what inputs your TV supports first.



After you make the new connection, go into the grahics menu (from System Settings) and make sure it

What are some tuners and/or metronomes that you would suggest?

I need a metronome at least, but I would like a combination metronome and tuner if possible. I play a Bb trumpet. I would like a tuner that can go 120 bpm or more, as I currently need to practice jazz music, and have a few problems counting. In addition, I also need to work on marching band music, specially keeping a certain high passage in tune. So far, I might buy one of the following:

Wired or wireless controller?

for an xbox360, does the wired controller have a faster response time? also, does it need batteries?
The wired has a faster response time. Also did you know that the wired controller can be used for certain computer games to. So if you game on your computer to that can come in handy. Also it does not need batteries to use it just plug into your xbox and enjoy. There are two cons when using a wired controller: 1. Depending on where you put your xbox you probably wont have enough cord to move around. 2. it uses the usb port on your xbox so if you have a lot of things pluged into your xbox like music players for example or usb ports thats one more less port to use.



Now for a wireless controller. I think this is a good option to cause you can move around more or sit far back from your xbox as long as your still 30 feet near your xbox so it can still be found by the xbox. This type of controller uses batteries, but you can use rechargeable batteries. Retail stores like walmart or gamestop for example sell recharegeable batteries you can use and devices to charge them with like plug and play( it uses a cable that hooks up to your xbox that use the power from the xbox to charge the controller while your using it or have the xbox in stand by mode or you can use it on your computer to charge the controller) name a few.



So bottome line is that it all depends on your taste and which one is better with you.

HAPPY GAMING
Yes. No!
response is the same. wireless needs batteries, wired doesnt
Response time is so short you won

How do I get my pics off my iphone and onto a pc?

im trying to put my photos onto my old hp pc and it says there are no photos on my phone and i know there are. im also trying to get a profile pic but that part is easy.
u either need a usb transfer cable for ur phone or if ur computer has an sd card slot and ur pics are saved on an sd card on ur phone use an sd card adapter to make it fit in ur computer, then look through the folders to find ur pics. if u use the tranfer cable, u might need to download ur phones software from the makers website or from a link from google.
just email all the pictures to your email and then open them up on ur pc

Ipod touch shipping help?

I ordered my ipod touch on Friday and it shipped the sameFriday at about 6-7pm, its coming from Memphis, TN and i live in Sebastian, FL. i decided to choose Ups standard 3-7 as my shipping speed. So will i get this ipod be at my house by tomorrow on Monday?
UPS does not work on the weekend. There is a good chance it will not leave Memphis till Monday morning. If you got a tracking number and you should have; it will give a rough idea of where it is. It will also give you an estimated delivery date and they are normally on the money.

WHY IN THIS MODERN DAY CAN WE NOT HAVE A M/PHONE AS WE CANT GET A SIGNAL , NOT EVEN HALF A BAR ????????
It depends upon where the mast is and how many trees and hills are between you and the mast. my sister in law lives in Sussex and to get reception i have to go to a corner of her garden. three paces away and no reception.

I used to go to a Campsite near Ormskirk and if I stood in one place in the car park i could get good reception but the same again one pace away and I got none.

Given that you mobile phone relies on radio signals and a fairly small local mast it is not a great surprise that you have difficulty in getting reception in a rural area

NOOOO, MODERN WARFARE 2!!!!!?

Ok, my xbox fell over while I was playing and the disc tray scratched a clear circle on the bottom of the disc. Solutions? This is my MW2 disc, so this is REALLY important. Can you like, get someone elses disc and install the game on the xbox or something or pave over the scratches with something or am i ****** and i need to get a new disc
Well if your Xbox 360 cannot read or even recognize the disc after getting that scratch, then installing your friends MW2 will not work. The 360 has to at least recognize the disc and if it cant get past that scratch, youre out of luck as far as that disc goes. Your only options are to go to Gamestop and buy a new or used copy, get the game from one of your friends, or to wait for the game to be released on the Xbox Live Marketplace for Games on Demand. And next time, place your 360 flat (horizontal) so it wont fall over.

Do I need to unlock MMS features (SMS) for LG KF350 (Ice Cream)?

- My carrier is T-Mobile

- I live in U.S.A.



Basically, I heard sometimes you need to manually put in MMS features. I only need SMS (texting). But can I do that on my own, is it already enabled, or do I have to go to T-Mobile?
SMS settings will usually require a message center number. If you know what is that number, you can go to the SMS settings in your phone and enter them. You can call up T-mobile for their message center number or if you have a friend that uses the same operator, you can ask them for it.

How do I change my Volume Limit combination on my Ipod Nano (5th generation)?

You would have to set your overall combination. Ask your sister how she did it, and then you can go back to that place and change it either to something easy (1234) or make it so that there is no password. I think it is in the settings.

If your sister does not remember the code, you will have to call apple. You don

Can you buy full games using the Playstation Store?

Say if i want to buy Red Dead Redemption (full game, NOT TRIAL), would i be able to buy it and download it on my built-in memory on the ps3 without any disks? (and with Playstation Plus, can you get a discount)
Yes you can buy full games. Not all disc games are available for download there so check first.



Playstation Plus does give you a discount... BUT...not on every game, they choose certain games and change them every month. Some are 20% off and some are 50%...but they choose the games that are discounted and only a few of them are.



Also the games you buy are stored in the PSN in your account history so if your system ever crashes (or you buy a new PS3) you can download them again for free, forever.
