IPhone to Sony Bravia

Hey people,
So, I have a Sony Bravia Smart TV...
There's a mode called 'wifi direct mode.' I CAN connect my iPhone to the Bravia with no problems and it comes up with... 'Device Connected.' So, it obviously recognises the iPhone and talks to it so to speak.
However, I can't seem to send anything to the TV from my iPhone via WiFi to view Photos, Videos and Music etc.
Does this mean maybe Apple are blocking that and I need to get an 'Apple TV' and do it that way? Or, is there an application that could maybe crack this?
Thank you.
David

Hi there!
Perhaps the problem is, that Sony doesn't allow all non-sony-data to get on the screen.
My Bravia has a card slot, identifies a photo-card and shows no! files. Something to do with the file-formats?
I think you should go to a Sony Bravia-forurm with that...
Apple TV is a nice little thing.
cheers, mum

    The only way to stream directly to your TV would be if it is an AirPlay-enabled device.
    There are many AirPlay-enabled devices but I am not familiar with Sony's products. If yours do not specifically indicate AirPlay capability, then you need an AirPlay-enabled device such as an AppleTV connected to your Sony TV or Sony AVR.

  • How do I connect my I pad to a Sony Bravia TV so that I can watch live tv on it

    Hey wrend123,
    You can use AirPlay Mirroring to mirror exactly what’s on your iPad to your HDTV via Apple TV. You can read more about that option here:
    iOS: Use AirPlay Mirroring

    You can also use TV out, which you can learn about here:

  • Apple TV or Sony Wifi Dongle for Sony Bravia TV??

    Hi,
    I have just recently bought a Sony Bravia 40" TV.  To access the internet capabilities i need a Sony Wifi Dongle.
    I already have a Macbook Pro and 2 iPhones that are used within the house on the wireless network.  Was wondering if i should get the Sony Wifi Dongle or skip that and get Apple TV which is about the same price??
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks
    Andrew

    I have a similar set up.  However, before getting my ATV3, I had gotten a
    ZyXEL 300 Mbps Wireless N Access Point, Ethernet Client, Universal Repeater, and Range Extender (WAP3205) to use as a wireless Ethernet bridge to my TV.  It's about 1/2 the price of the ATV, but it is only a bridge--no subscription service, etc.
    Having said that, the ATV is amazing!  The only shortcoming is that it doesn't offer Hulu Plus service at this time.  The upside is that you will be able to access services through your iPhone and mirror them to your TV through your ATV--and you can get app on your iPhone.  (Lastly, you WILL eventually succumb and get the ATV.)
    Hope that helps your decision.
    (BTW, I did not hook the ZyXEL directly to my Sony Bravia, but to my Sony Blu-ray player.)

  • Which smart tv (SAMSUNG U46F7000 or SONY BRAVIA W8 46'') has the best communication and functionality with apple devices?

    Which SMARTTV (SAMSUNG U46F7000 or SONY BRAVIA W8 46'') has a better communication and functionality with apple devices (i pad- iphone).
    Since the above manufacturers do not give me a straight answer and it is very important reason for me to make a choice please advise!

    Sorry but I must correct about SONY!!!
    The question was for Bravia series W9 and not W8.

    Thanks for sharing, but you are not addressing Apple here. This is a user-to-user forum.
    You can leave feedback for Apple at:

    Maybe you should make an appointment at the Genius Bar, my iphone works just right.

  • Macbook to Sony Bravia - Problems

    Hey -
    So I'm trying to connect my Macbook (I got this back in like 2006-2007?) to my Sony Bravia TV. I have the current set-up:
    VGA Cable connected from the back of the TV to a Mini-DVI-to-VGA connector to the MacBook. When I plug it in, the Macbook detects it (since I can see the MacBook screen adjusting to it) but when I go to find it on the TV (Input/Source), the "PC" option is grayed out. I've been trying everything (Detect Display, etc) for the Bravia to detect it but no dice. Any help would be great.
    For the time being, I'm using a S-Video to Mini-DVI-to-S-Video adapter to the MacBook but the quality is really poor (except when watching movies).
    Is there something else that I need to do?
    Thanks!
    Albert

    hello, people.
    I'm trying to sync my mac to Sony Bravia as well.
    And it was tough.
    But on my last try I find a way.
    You have to put a resolution 640 x 480 on your mac
    and 1920 x 1080 on Sony TV.
    After that, you have to go on menu of your TV and follow the steps:
    ajustes > canais de entrada > controle de entradas
    I know the names in portuguese.
    But in english should be the same.
    And set you PC from AUTO to "SEMPRE"
    The TV is already set on AUTO (automatic)
    It works and I really happy.
    I wish it works for you too
    Good luck

  • Cannot Connect Imac 24" via mini dvi to HDMi adapter cable to Sony Bravia 3

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm having the worst time in trying to connect the following:
    1. Imac 24" 3.06 dual with dvi connection
    2. Mini dvi to HDMI adapter (this mac with this connection was produced only for a short while!).
    3. 10' (foor) HDMI wire
    3. Sony Bravia 32" model KDL32L-5000 with 3 HDML connections
    i.When I wire everything up, I keep getting"no signal" on my Sony Bravia TV.
    ii. It doesn't matter whether I connect the HDMI wire to HDMI 1,2, or 3 on my Sony
    iii. On my Imac Hard Drive>>Applications>>System Preferences>>Displays
    all I get is a list of different resolutions. There is no mention or mirrors etc.
    Nothing happens when I press "Gather Windows" or Detect Displays"
    Can someone out there please help!!!!!
    Can you also give any solution in very simple and small detailed steps!
    Thanks,

    Majortrout, there is a major disconnect going on here.
    1. You are showing an Ebay link with a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter.
    2. You report that you have an Early '09 24" iMac.
    3. That iMac does not have a mini-DVI port. That iMac has a mini-DispayPort.
    4. You need a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
    It is physically impossible to attach the adapter to which you link at Ebay to your iMac. So you need to take a step back and figure out what you really have; which iMac, which adapter, etc.

  • How to connect a Sony Bravia TV to the internet through your Airport network

    Since it took me a lot of time to figure out how to connect my Sony Bravia TV to the internet through my Airport network, I better share how to do it. Hopefully saving others a lot of time.
    My 32EX600 Sony Bravia TV is Ethernet connected to my Mac Mini, which is part of my Airport network, together with another Mac, an Airport Extreme Base Station and an ADSL modem/router. Moreover, the Mac Mini is connected to the TV by HDMI.
    Whatever I tried in the TV’s Wired Network Set-up (Auto, or Manual with manual IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS IPs), I couldn’t get it right. Cable Connection and Local Access were mostly OK, Internet Access always Failed.
    The solution lies in the Sharing panel of the System Preferences of the Mac Mini. In the Internet Sharing item of that panel, you should choose to “share your internet connection from WiFi to computers (the TV in this case) using Ethernet“, and NOT (as I had chosen before and seemed so obvious) “share your internet connection from Airport to computers using Ethernet“. After that change, the Bravia Network Set-up, using the Wired and Auto options, flawlessly connected to the internet. No expensive (Sony) WiFi USB dongle needed.

    I have now had a detailed reply from Sony Europe and the way to do this is to:
    1.       Press Home on the TV Setup
    2.       Use the right and left arrow to select Setting.
    3.       Use the up and down to select Network, press Enter.
    4.       Select Network Setup.
    5.       Select Wireless setup.
    6.       Select Scan
    7.       Select your network
    8.       A new screen will appear asking for entering the security key.
    9.       Enter your WPA2 key.
    10.   Select Enter.
    11.   It will take you back to the same screen asking for entering the
    security key.
    12.   Press the right arrow.
    13.   Select Auto.
    14.   Press the right arrow.
    15.   Select Save and connect.
    These instructions are not the same as shown on the TV but they worked fine for me so they may help others with a similar problem.

  • How do connect my sony bravia tv as a monitor screen for mac pro

    How do I connect my Sony Bravia tv as a monitor for my MacBook Pro? I have an hdmi lead with an adapter to the computer and get a picture of factory setting cosmos with some of the folders of my desktop going off the side of the tv screen.

    If you have the right cable, and have set the right input on your Sony, then you need to adjust one thing.  Go to System Preferences>Displays>Set Mirroring.  I think you've got it set to Extended desktop, which means the Sony is just a HUGE extension of your Mac OSX desktop.
    That should fix your issue.

  • I have a 2008 black macbook and access UK tv through a purchased proxy site. I want to buy a sony bravia internet connected tv to watch the channels in more comfort. Sony tell me this won't work - that the tv cannot capture my macbook content. Any advice?

    I have a 2008 black MacBook and acess UK tv through a puchased proxy. I want to purchase a Sony Bravia internet connected tv and stream the site through a tv - Sony tell me this won't work - that a latest model tv cannot capture content and sites from a MacBook - is this true???? Surely there is a solution? Any help or advice welcome.

    They are correct.  The only stream you can wireless connect the TV to a Mac is through an AppleTV, and that's purchased content on iTunes, and your own homemade content that is H.264 MPEG-4 that is 1800kbps.   Conversion of commercial video to that format is illegal, and hence how can not be stated on the forum.    Alternatively, as long as the TV is HDMI, you can wired connect it to your MacBook using the same advice here:

  • How do I wirelessly connect my iPad 4 to a Sony Bravia TV?

    My Sony Bravia KDL-32W653A recognises that my iPad4 is on my LAN. But I just can't get the iPad content ( videos ) to show up on the TV screen.
    The iPad Settings shows the " direct -GC-Bravia" other connection, but it wants to revert to my (John Lewis wireless connection.
    If I tap on the other, Bravia panel I am asked for a password. I don't have a password for it and never have had. If I try to use my Apple password or that of my Sony support log-in or even my LAN home group , the iPad just messages:-  "Unable to connect to Diect-GC-Bravia"
    I seem to go round in circles and get nowhere- Can anyone out there who has an iPad 4 (retina display AND a Sony Bravia TV help me please?
    Maybe even a Sony employee? who owns a similar iPad?
    Davidthebass.

    You dont.  Apple won't allow widely used standards and Sony is so behind the times in this area it's painful and almost as bad.  Apple forces you to buy an Apple TV whereas Sony forces you to own an android phone to do this natively.  Surprise!
    disappointed I started my smartphone tenure with Apple; had no idea how badly it was going to burn me in about 100 different ways over the years.  All they have on android these days is more efficient hardware...: and since they don't take advantage of it... It's a moot point at the price premium.
    as for Sony.  I just spent more than I did on my last car for their flagship and id be satisfied if it costed about 75% less and wasn't a "smart" TV.  Since it is - and this is 2015; the cost coupled with the inability to properly stream or mirror from.... Meh.  Not gonna waste another word.  If neither get it by now, they never will.  Talk with your wallet guys, it's the only language they understand.  Unfortunately they are wise enough to know the sheep outnumber dramatically so it's in vain anyhow.
