How to Play Wii on My Mac (3 Steps)


Place the Nintendo Wii next to the iMac 27 inch desktop. Plug the console connector at one end of the HD Wii cable into the A/V output on the back of the Wii. Plug the red, green and blue cables at the other end of the HD Wii cable into the red, green and blue connections of the DVI-to-Component cable.

How to Synch an iMac and iPad to iTunes (6 Steps)


Click the 'iTunes' icon in your program dock to start iTunes. Click 'iTunes' in the menu bar at the top of the screen and choose 'Check for updates.' Install the latest updates if you haven't already, or click 'OK' to close the dialogue box.
Connect your iPad to your iMac with the included USB sync cable. Agree to the iPad Software License Agreement if this is your first time connecting your iPad and click 'Continue.'

Click the option button next to 'Set up as a new iPad.' Click 'Continue.' Name your iPad on the next screen, and click the check box next to each of your choices for syncing your iPad with your iMac. Your options are to sync songs, photos or applications -- or any combination of the three.

How to Erase Free Space on an iMac (5 Steps)


Quit all running programs and empty the Trash. To empty the Trash, right click on the 'Trash' icon in the Dock and select 'Empty.'
Click on the 'Applications' folder in the Dock or open a Finder window and click 'Applications' in the left pane under Places. Double click the 'Utilities' folder to access the contents of the folder. Double click the 'Disk Utility' icon to launch the application.
Select the iMac's internal hard drive by clicking on the 'Macintosh HD' icon in the left window. Click on the 'Erase' tab and click 'Erase Free Space.'
Choose to have zeros written over the free space once--seven times or 35 times--by clicking the radio button next to the option. Depending on the amount of free space on the hard drive, choosing the '7-pass' or '35-pass' option may take many hours to complete. Click 'Erase Free Space' to start the process.
Quit Disk Utility once the erase process is complete by hitting 'Command' and 'Q' on your keyboard or by choosing 'Quit' from the Disk Utility file menu.

How to Connect a VCR to a Mac


You'll need an Apple DVI-to-video adapter for your Mac. Some MacBooks and older iBooks and PowerBooks were shipped with the adapter, so you may have one available. The DVI-to-video adapter is a small device that essentially makes it possible to feed a signal to the VCR or any device with an S-Video port.
Different Mac models require different video adapters. The good news is that the adapter is relatively inexpensive. iMac models have a mini-DVI port and will use the Apple Mini-DVI-to-video adapter. The MacBook and the 12' PowerBook G4 also use this adapter. The Mac Pros have a standard DVI port and require the Apple DVI-to-video adapter. MacBook Pro, Mac Mini and Power Mac G5 computers will also use the latter adapter.
Connect the DVI adapter to your Mac, then connect the S-Video cable to the S-Video output port of the DVI adapter. If you have a VCR with an S-Video input, simply connect the S-Video cable to the VCR's S-Video input port. Most new VCRs are S-VCRs. Your S-VCR is now ready to record input from your Mac.
If you are using an older VCR without an S-Video input, you will need to purchase an S-Video-to-component video converter. You also might be able to use a digital camcorder as a pass-through device, connecting the S-Video to the camcorder while it is paused in record mode and running S-Video out to the VCR.
