  • Problems connecting MacBook Pro to Apple TV

    not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but my macbook pro won't connect to my apple tv via airplay anymore. My college has really spotty wifi and it's extremely selective sometimes (one time it wouldn't let me log into the site that i put in my schedule for work, it just kept refreshing the site after i would hit submit) so i'm not sure if this is a software problem or if its my wifi. I can still connect on my iphone just not my laptop.

    That would be a wifi issue, mirroring requires a lot more resources from the network and will need a stable/consistent connection. There would likely be a lot of other activity occurring as well so that will impact performance.

  • How can I connect My MacBook Pro to Apple TV?

    I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to Apple TV but without success. Any ideas?

    How old is your MBP (year and season)?
     > About This Mac > More Info...
    Apple TV is supported on a early 2011 or newer MacBook Pros with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later.  If your MBP is older than that then you can use AirParot to connect to Apple TV.

  • How to connect macbook pro to panasonic tv with hdmi cable

    How to connect macbook pro to panasonic hd tv with hdmi cable

    Hi m,
    It depends which MPB you have and the inputs on the TV. The following assumes your TV has an HDMI input which will work with a computer.
    This is if your MBP is from April 2010 or newer:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241
    First connect the adapter to the MBP and the HDMI cable from the adapter to the TV, then go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > select HDMI.
    Or if your MBP is older than that and you have a Mini DisplayPort, you can use something like this: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CBLMDPHDMID/
    If it's older than that, for video you need a DVI or mini DVI to HDMI or whatever input your TV has. For audio, you need a 3.5mm stereo mini plug to RCA or optical (Toslink), depending on what audio input your TV has.

    having problems connecting MacBook Pro 2010 TO vizio 60 " tv using mini displayport to VGA adapter
    non support warning appears pn tv monitor

    However, I still don't get a view of anything on the desktop except for the standard Apple swirl.
    Can you drag windows to the other display?
    In the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference, you can drag the display pictures to match the actual arrangement, drag the menu bar to the other display, or enable mirroring.

  • Update: audio problems connecting macbook pro to insignia TV: resolved

    There have been posts from users who have expressed frustration that they cannot get audio when they attempt to connect their macbook pro to an Insignia TV.
    http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=10830387
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2192206
    Insignia customer service also attempts to state that the pre-April 2010 macbook pros cannot get audio output to the TV, because the units are designed to get the audio on the same HDMI and no alternative audio input is available on the TV.
    http://community.insigniaproducts.com/t5/Televisions/Connecting-MacBook-Pro-to-T V/td-p/5564
    For the Insignia models (from 2010 onwards and possible some from 2009 as well), there is a simple workaround that does not seem to be published elsewhere on the internet (as far as I can see):
    Use the HDMI port 1 only (audio does not work with port 2, port 3 or port 4) to connect your macbook and you will receive 1080p video signal.
    Use a mini stereo audio cable (example link below) and connect your macbook audio output to a designated green color coded audio port on the TV located right next to the VGA. You will receive full stereo audio.
    Example link for mini stereo audio cable:

    I recently acquired a new Insignia TV and had sound trouble.  I went to Best Buy to inquire about the cable in the link above and the sales manager had doubts.  He recommended a RCA cable with a male connection at both ends.  The RCA jack is on the bottom edge of the TV display next to the VGA connection.  The sound worked perfectly using the RCA cable from the headphone jack on the Mac.  I connected the video with a HDMI adapter from the monitor mirroring port.

  • Best stand for MacBook Pro and Apple LED Display

    I am buying a MacBook Pro and Apple LED Display tomorrow. I want to have a two display setup, similar to what I have seen in the Apple Store. I believe they used a Griffin Elevator. I want to make sure of two things: that the stand is sturdy enough so that my laptop won't slide off of it and that I can adjust the stand/monitor so that the tops are level (so that moving my mouse from the laptop to monitor and back is smooth - i.e. the cursor doesn't jump up or down.
    I like the fact that I can use this setup to go mobile very quickly, but what about my direct Ethernet connection. I wish there were a stand/dock such that I could hook everything up to it and then just undock the entire machine.

    How did you solve the problem of closing the Macbook Pro when it was connected to the display and preventing it from going to sleep?
    I am thinking about buying one. When I went to the local Apple Store the tech guys told me that it would be necessary to keep the laptop open slightly when connecting it to the display. They said it was something to do with cooling. It didn't sound right to me. I'm sure that Apple didn't solely intend for the Cinema Displays to be used by Mac Pro and Mac Mini users.
    There must be a simple way to "dock" or connect a Mac laptop (Macbook Pro or Macbook) to an Apple Cinema display or any other display with DVI input while keeping the laptop closed with an external keyboard and mouse connected and still be able to use the SuperDrive.
    I'm very curious about how you handled this.
    All the best for now,
    Ambrose

  • Trying to connect Macbook Pro and IMac...suggestions?

    Trying to connect Macbook Pro and IMac with Apple Remote desktop or a cable.  They do share a wifi router.
    Thanks much!

    not sure if you found an answer to this.  I just got a mb pro and want it to connect to my imac (late 2009).  I set up sharing on hte imac, file sharing and dvd/cd sharing.  from the mbpro i simply went to finder>go>connect to server.  I entered the name as on my imac (xxx.local) and immediately connected.  This was a massive help to me as I had some software (aperture, office for mac) that were on drive and the new mbpro doesn't have a disk drive.  through sharing I could access the disc drive remotely via my mbpro and load the software that way.  worked beautifully on my wifi (which is apple airport extreme). 
    Hope this helps.

  • How to connect MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50

    Any experience with cables for connecting MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50 (or similar)?

    It depend upon the model (age) of you MBP.  If you have a Thunderbolt or minidisplay port, then you will need a minidisplay/HDMI adapter.
    eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CBLMDPHDMI/
    Or you can get an all in one:

    If you have an older mac with a DVI port, you will need something like this:
    http://www.amazon.com/DVI-HDMI-Cable-6ft-Male-Male/dp/B0002CZHN6
    Note that audio is supported via HDMI for MBPs 2010 and later.  Earlier ones require tapping the audio output port.
    Ciao.

  • Can't connect macbook pro to internet with airport extreme

    Can't connect macbook pro to internet with airport extreme

    If you have ethernet still on your MBP plug it in by ethernet and tell me if that works.
    Tell me how the Airport is setup.. what broadband modem and router you have.
    What OS on the laptop? Yosemite I guess.. since it is the most troublesome.
    Did it work before whatever change was made? Has it worked in the past? When did it stop and what did you do that coincided with it stopping?
    Upgrade to Yosemite??

  • I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.

    I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.  The movie plays fine on the macbook if I'm not trying to airplay.  The airplay works fine if I'm not trying to play a movie from the superdrive.  I think my apple TV is Gen 2.

    If you get a checkerboard pattern it's because Apple block Airplay Mirroring of protected media.
    VLC Player may work.

    Having the exact same problem with connecting ML and Snow Leopard machines to a Windows 8.1 machine. Oddly enough, connecting and copying to/from works perfectly from a Mavericks machine, despite the problems reported about Mavericks regarding the exact opposite. An old thread, but did you find a solution?

It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.
