  • How do I connect my MacBook Pro to an LCD TV (with HDMI and S-Video ports)?

    How do I connect my MacBook Pro to an LCD TV (with HDMI and S-Video ports)?  I assume I would need to use the DVI to Video adapter that came with my computer to connect to my LCD tv.  I'm just not sure which port I should use on the TV.  The HDMI port is being used for digital cable.
    Also, does anyone know if this can be done wirelessly? 

    For a 2010+ MBP you can connect with a Displayport to HDMI, which will include Audio.
    With older MBP you will need a displayport to HDMI, if you want audio to the actually TV, then you will need to get a cable with either digital out from MBP to the HDMI, or USB audio mixed into the HDMI

  • Hey guys. I want to connect my MacBook to my Samsung television and don't know what cable to purchase. It's a five year old machine and I presume a fairly simple solution but would appreciate it if someone could link me up to the correct cable to buy.

    Depends on what input plug you'll be using on your TV. VGA, DVI, Composite or HDMI. You'll need a Mini-DVI adapter and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini-DVI adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13
    (Composite is the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs.)
    You'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs for VGA, DVI or Composite. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macbo o k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable
    If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.

    how do I connect my macbook pro to my tv?

    You can also go with something like this:
    Thunderbolt to HDMI Adapter w/Audio Support
    You'll need the hdmi cable to connect the adapter to your tv.
    Not all MBP's support audio over the minidisplay port. 
    These computers supply multichannel audio (up to 8 channels) and video signals over Mini DisplayPort:
    MacBook (Mid 2010) and later
    MacBook Air (Late 2010) and later
    MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) and later
    Mac mini (Mid 2010) and later
    iMac (Late 2009) and later
    Mac Pro (Mid 2010)

  • How do i connect my macbook pro to a tv

    how do i connect my macbook pro to a tv

    Well, since you gave absolutely no information on which model of MBP or which model of TV, it's pretty much impossible to help. No one here can guess what kind of equipment you have, so a lot more information would be needed. You need to look at  your TV manual to find out what kind of port it has and then check on your MBP to see what is needed. This article will help once you figure out the cables/connections:

    And, for future reference, your question is about an MBP but you posted in the iMac forum.....

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have the cable, just connect it to both and the desktop will show up on the external display. Then, you can select different modes, changing arrangement in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement, or using shortcuts > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5019
