A client gave me this simply as a means to run my computer itunes through, so it comes out the ceiling speakers. I am not tech savvy at all, and im looking at the wall plug, 2 of them side by side with 8 ports in each. Left ones screw and unscrew for wiring, the ones on the right use the colored audio cables, and one of the ports is where the main coaxial cable attaches to. I dont even know if I have the correct wires, and I realize its an old unit; just something to run music through the gym, nothing fancy. Any help is greatly appreciated, and i apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge.

The screw section is probably for the house speakers. ( if they are still on the other end of those screw's wiring.) If you have a working speaker on your computer you need a jumper wire or sorts. Buy, build, or make it by cutting one your speaker wires a couple feet behind the speaker and stripping an inch of insulation to get to the bare wire.
Get some music on the speaker you use for testing. Cut the wire and remove an inch insulation from from the cut end coming from the computer. (you test and learn how to do this - hook it back up to the speaker wire. See if you made work again.)NOW THEN! Take the jumper wire ( there are at least two.) and start touching it to any of those two screws. If your computer was and still playing music after you cut the speaker wire or inserted a test plug with speaker wire - you will be able to locate speakers connected to that site.

This p in to that live speaker output has a lead out with 2-3 bare wires on the end to connect to the on the on the other end have the two pieces of wire with a speaker disconnected. to touch to those

SOURCE: Sound not coming from left side surround sound speaker or my right side front speaker

it is highly likely that you're TV is outputting mono sound, hence the left channel only. check your physical connections to the TV and the balance / channel volume on the television as well.

SOURCE: Connecting DVD player to AV receiver

If you've done that already and still no response from your system, I would suggest to take back to the place where you bought it and ask them to check it for you. Tell them that you follow the user's manual to the "T" but still unable to make it work.
Good Luck.

SOURCE: All my speakers don't work.

Did you press the "TEST" button on the remote? It will send some white noise to each speaker that is hooked up, one at a time.

I cant set any of my music as a ringtone

What kind of phone? Most newer phones have apps you can download for free to make your own ringtone but especially for iphones it is not easy. If you are somewhat tech savvy search your phone model in google and "custom ringtones"

If not so tech savvy its easiest to shell out the money for a already made ringtone of the music you want. Only purchase ringtones from official stores on your phone
Ex; Iphone: Itunes
Android: android market or google play.
I suggest not using your computer to buy ringtones or searching for ringtones on your computer browser in general. Theres lots of scams out there.

Hi, i 've Olympus CAMEDIA 470 Zoom digital camera. i want to use it as webcam. let me know if it can be used and how? will it really damage zoom or not/

If your has an A/V-out port and a cable that lets you output to a TV, you should be fine. If your computer already has a video input-many do, particularly ones marketed as media PCs-then you're all set: You can just plug the camera into your computer and turn on the camera.
If your computer doesn't have a video input, you can buy an inexpensive USB capture device for $5 to $10 on eBay, or a brand new EasyCap Video Capture Adapter for $15. The same device can let you watch TV on your computer, too, since the encoding hardware is the same-look for a TV-tuner-plus-video-capture USB adapter for $30 to $50 instead. You'll need to install the driver that comes with the device, but not the video-editing software. Simply run your favorite IM client; with the capture device's driver installed; the IM client should find your camera and let you use it as your webcam for video conferences.

I hooked up my Canon PowerShot to a desktop PC using a $15 video-capture dongle and simply ran iChat, selecting the video device as my input. I was videoconferencing within minutes.
With some cameras the audio will be sent along with the video. If that's not the case with yours, set your computer's audio input to its microphone.

How can i delette the progam for cyber protection it cant delette in change and remove programs

It is much safer to use the ADD / REMOVE programs option

Playing with registry unless you 100 percent know what you are doing can cripple a computer.

Such a crippled computer would need a real tech to bring it back to working condition.

D.D. please offer a more viable solution as not all clients are as tech savvy as most experts.
