I want to connnect my early 2012 MBP to my LG HDMI. I have the HDMI cable. What connector do I need for the laptop?

Please give me the name of the connector for the laptop. Is it a "display port"?

Note that you'll find two alternatives: one that has a TB plug at one end and a little box with a female HDMI jack at the other or a cable that has male TB and HDMI plugs at both ends. First one gives you the flexibility of using a standard HDMI cable of whatever length you need, at an extra cost. Second simplifies things and eliminates one connection (and possible point of failure), but may limit how far away you can place the computer from the display.

  • I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog.  Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's do-able, but I don't think it's a great idea.
    DVI
    Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
    Analogue
    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)

  • What chords do i need for a data migration from macbook 2008 to  macbook air 2012

    My 2008 macbook has a firewire port and my new macbook air 2012 has a thunderbolt port. I have a thunderbolt cable but i can't find an adapter to firewire or the firewire cord? Should I return the thunderbolt cable and surrender the 100 bucks for one-on-one or go through the tedious process of using my external hard drive as the 'messenger boy'?

    There's all sorts of ThunderBolt to FireWire adapters out there. Here's one on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Thunderbolt-to-FireWire-Adapter/dp/B008RXYOKY/ref=sr _1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1346277186&sr=8-11&keywords=thunderbolt+firewire
    You'd also need a FireWire 800 to 400 adapter. http://www.amazon.com/elago-FireWire-400-800-Adapter/dp/B002TF0ZDQ/ref=sr_1_8?ie =UTF8&qid=1346277133&sr=8-8&keywords=thunderbolt+to+firewire

    Morning AndreD86,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    These articles explain exactly what is backed up by using their method.
    iTunes: About iOS backups

    and
    iCloud: Backup and restore overview

    Also we want to double-click the Home button and swipe the Task Bar to the right.
    Then make sure the button on the far left of Task Bar is not muted.
    Best of luck,

    You'll need to get a SIM card. It can be an old one.

    I need help Syncing my ipod to my mac. It has music on the mac currently but I want both my ipod music and the mac music together but it says i have to delete my ipod and only have the Laptop music on it. is there anyway to have both?

    I got a Mac and started buying music on it, and My PC has all of my whole Itunes library which is like 1000+. Well I want to put all of my music on my Mac, But everytime I plug it in and ask it to sync all music it tells me that I have to erase my Ipod and sync in with the music on my Mac... Gosh its so confusing.

  • MBP to TV via HDMI cable

    I have a problem. my MBP won't come up on my TV. I have done everything. I connect my MBP with kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support. it connects to 26" Dynex TV. It work a few times before and then all of a sudden it's not working now. I have done everything turned mirroring on and off, reconnected to the TV. Is there something that I am doing wrong?

    MacBook Pro 5,x and later have DisplayPort
    MacBook Pro 4,x and earlier have DVI
    MacBook Pro 7,x and later support audio over Displayport
    Macbook Pro 6,x and earlier you need speakers on headphone port, or cable into audio input on TV if TV has audio in. x can be any number.
    Only 1080p TVs support full display of computer screen. 1080i can be hacked with DisplayConfigX or SwitchResX, but likely you will see only TV safe area if no 1080p is there. Horizontal X 768 are not 1080p resolutions. Go to Apple menu- About This Mac - More info to find which model you have of MacBook Pro?
    Get the model number of set, and we can tell you your options.

    I have an old Mad with OS X 10.6.8.  I just got a new MacBook Air.  I want to transfer my Office 2011 to the new computer.  I have the product ID number.  How do I do this?

    You may get a dialog box indicating you need to contact Microsoft to activate it if you've used up all your activations (2 for the professional version or 3 for the home/student version). Don't worry - you won't be hassled, just explain that you just bought a new computer and you are transfering the license.

  • How do I clone my hard drive, I want to replace my early 2008 MBP 15"?

    I want to know what is the correct way to clone my early 2008 MacBook Pro hard drive, I own SuperDuper. I want to clone the original hard drive and then replace the hard drive with a new 7200 rpm, I have heard the best way to this is to clone the original hard drive, and then once the new hard drive is installed migrate the clone back to the new hard drive.
    Can some either give me the steps to this or point where I can get detailed information on how to do this.
    As always thanks in advance.
    Kindest Regards,
    Sebastian

    Since you have SuperDuper already, it's simple.
    1) Connect an external drive, launch SuperDuper and run a backup (SmartBackup is fine, too).
    2) Swap out the drives in the MBP.
    3) Connect the external drive to the MBP and boot from it (hold option key at startup).
    4) Launch SuperDuper, click the Restore tab, and Restore from the boot drive to the new internal drive.

  • 2 issues concerning early 2011 mbp:screen no reaction after turn on the lid and airport

    the first issue is more serious.Ive read other posts related to this and still cannot figure it out.I dont why the screen wont turn on as i open the lid-the black screen.I turbulently press the keyboard and still no reaction.what i do is to mandatory press the turn-on button and make it shut down,restart it following.and im sure the battery doesnt run out.moreover.my college's wireless is wpa2 authentication.as long as i close the lid and reopen it,the airport requires the password.the PROBLEM is i enter the correct one but i dont have access to network.i have to "disconnect" it and reconnect,thus render me make the network available.you see the main reason is the lid.literally as i close the lid,something goes wrong...
    any ideas would be appreciated.thx

  • HT201272 It doesn't make sense if I want to re-download previous purchases it is because I no longer have the pc used at the time or it has been reformatted Somehow I lost my earlier purchases in 2006 -07-08 how can get those files back?

    How can I re-download previous purchases  2006-07 if I do not have the same PC?
    Thanks

    The ability to redownload past purchases is tied up to your iTunes account, not your computer. I don't know how far back in time Apple will have kept your purchase history. Presumably they now aim to keep it indefinitely but that may not have been the case in the past when you were only entitled to a single download.

  • HT5648 The App store wants me to update to Java 1.6.0_41 -- but I already have the latest Java 1.7 ver. downloaded from Oracle.

    How do I remove the Java 1.6.0_41 update from App Store updates list without actually installing it? I don't want to revert to an older Java than what I got from Oracle just a week ago (Java "1.7.0_11").
    PS, I thought Apple was no longer doing its own Java version anymore and that maintenance for Java for Mac was now in Oracle's hands. What gives?

    You should not ignore it as that will leave you with an unsafe version of Java SE 6 integrated into your system. If you shoud ever need to revert from Java 7 to Java 6 (which many users have found necessary for compatibility reasons) that would leave you open to attack. It's very difficult to remove Java 6 so you might as well keep it up-to-date.
    I thought Apple was no longer doing its own Java version anymore and that maintenance for Java for Mac was now in Oracle's hands. What gives?
    The agreement was that Apple would continue to update Java 6 and Oracle would take over at Java 7.  Both can exist on your computer, though in general, only one will be active at any given time.  Oracle's public support for Java 6 ends this month and without it Apple will be hard pressed to continue after that date, but we'll all just have to wait and see how that goes.

  • You want to print how many pages? I don't think we have the memory for that Dave.

    Printing lots of pages? XAML might not be the right choice. Find out more here:

    Windows SDK Technologies - Microsoft Developer Services - http://blogs.msdn.com/mediasdkstuff/

    I still have bitter feelings about printing in metro app. The MS team has made it extraordinarily difficult to print in metro. To give you an idea, if you want to print out a simple string of text in wpf, it takes 3 lines of code. If you want to print out
    the same string of text in metro, it takes 100+ lines of code and pray that the app doesn't crash.
    It took me months, yes months, to fully figure out how to print properly more than 1 page in a metro app.
