13" MBP to TV (Wirelessly?)

I've searched around and haven't really seen any solid answers to this. I'm looking to set up a 13" MBP so that a Samsung LCD TV is used as a monitor with audio. I could probably use a wired setup but I'm interested more in a wireless solution that involves maybe some sort of transmitter/receiver. Any suggestions?

You need a DVI to HDMI cable.
I had an early 2008 MB Pro until recently and I used it with my 47" HDTV all the time. Worked great.
I don't know what your tv is. If you don't have HDMI available on the TV then perhaps you'll need something like DVI to Component cable.
Here's a link to DVI -> HDMI

    Hi buddy,
    > I kept O.S. original for a week and the problem was the same
    If you had the same problem with factory settings you should test another router. Maybe its a malfunction of router or something else (not compatible to your WLAN card).
    Furthermore ask the manufacture of your router if they know something about this.
    In worst case its a hardware malfunction of your notebook. You should contact nearest service centre. I believe they can fix it under warranty, because A660 is pretty new notebook.
    Good luck! :)

  • How can I tell if my MBP is 5GHz wireless compatible?

    I am not able to get my MBP to see my new Airport Extreme Base Station (n) when the AEBS is in 5GHz wireless configuration. When I change the AEBS to 2.4GHz (802.11b/g compatible), the MBP sees it and connects with it. Could it be that my MBP does not have an Airport card that is 802.11n (5GHz) compatible?
    My Airport Card info is:
    Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x86)
    Wireless Card Firmware Version: 1.1.9.3

    Does your MacBook Pro have the Intel Core 2 Duo processor? ... or just the Core Duo? If the later, you will not be able to enable your MBP for "n". However, third-party vendors, like QuickerTek do offer a "n" wireless upgrade option.
    To verify your MBP's processor type, use the System Profiler utility and look at the value for Processor Name under Hardware Overview.

  • MBP intermittant (broken) wireless with WEP after airport update 2007-003

    First, my 24" imac works just fine with the current settings. My MBP hasn't connected to a WEP protected network since the 2007-003 airport update (or maybe 10.4.9, I installed it at the same time).
    Checking the console while it's trying to connect:

    The airport icon is turning on while this is happening, then reads the SSID, then disconnects, over and over again.
    The keychain was broken after the last update and so was ssh (again!). Those are fixed. But this wireless issue really is a problem for me. The latests updates with 10.4.10 didn't do anything to help out.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks!

    Reinstalling OS X from the install DVDs restored wireless connectivity. Then installing software updates didn't seem to break the wireless, or all of the dictionary entries.

  • [Hardware] MBP 13" Mid2010: Wireless card turning off when computer is moved

    Hello everyone !
    I have been incrementally fixing my mid-2010 (1278) 13" Macbook Pro for the past 8-9 months. I'm almost done, but sadly I can't figure out what's causing the last issue, which concerns the wireless, and I would *really* appreciate your expertise!
    Background: My MBP sustained heavy damage last December. The casing was carved in and the hardware was so busted it could not power on. Apple replaced the logic board, bottom and top cases. I also replaced the hard drive and reinstalled the OS as new. I then  cleared all but one of the  remaining problems including a faulty left palm rest temperature sensor (fault caused by loose battery electric tape contacting with the sensor).
    Symptoms: It first starts with an immediate loss of the wireless internet and network connections: all websites are unresolved. A few seconds later the list of available wifi networks in Network preferences is being reduced to the one I was last connected to while still searching for new networks. Apps requiring internet connectivity start to report, well, the lack of connectivity. A few seconds later the MBP wireless is still displayed as connected to the last known network, except that it really is not connected to anything as per pings. At this stage, going into Network Preferences show the Wifi as "Off". Pressing "Turn Wifi-On" does not do anything, turning on en1 with the terminal does not do anything either. At some point the wifi icon is updated and shows the wifi as being "Off" too.
    Temporary and only fix: Restart the computer.
    How to reproduce: When the laptop is lifted or moved, such as when you relocate from the desk to a couch. Having the computer on my lap triggers the issue too.
    What I did so far: I assumed there could be a problem directly with my airport card, so I replaced it. The wireless was working fine up until I reproduced the steps above, triggering the same issue.
    It is definitely a hardware problem, but what could be causing it now that the airport card is replaced?
    Thank you very much for your help !
    Regards,
    Kahss

  • MBP crashes WRT54GS wireless router

    I have a new MacBook Pro, which I can't get to work with my wireless router, a LinkSys WRT54GS. In my debug of the problem, I tried cabling the MBP directly to my DSL modem which works fine. Then I cabled the MBP to the WRT54GS (which is cabled to my DSL modem). After 2-3 minutes of switching between various websites (using Safari), the connection goes down, and the wireless router is dead - it must be power cycled to recover. The WRT54GS has always worked (wired and wireless) with our Dell XP laptops. Since I'm seeing the router crash when connected via ethernet cable, it's not a wireless (AirPort) issue, but must be something IP related. Anyway, others are seeing this also (see http://forums.macnn.com/92/networking/305303/mysterious-crashing-with-linksys-wr t54g/). Any suggestions?

    My MBP is also crashing the router, Mines a netgear 108mps I have tried everything, disabled every feature, on both the laptop and the router, dropped its speed to the slowest possiable upgraded to the latest firmware everything. I'm sick of this. I'm heading to the Apple store right now and buying an airport extreme, and see if I have problems with it also. if so, then I'm going to have them replace the hardward in my laptop. I have written more about this in other threads and it's not limited to just my router but local hotspots freeze if I try to use them... this is an issue with the laptop for sure, but I don't want apple to try and use the excuse that I'm mixing hardware hence the proble.. I'm going to try using all their stuff and finish the testing that way. Sad that we have to deal with this. I have also updates all the drivers on the MBP so everything as current as it could be.. will keep everyone posted.

  • MBP C2D - no wireless networks show up: possible soultion

    If you can't see any wireless networks, one possible solution is to change the channel of the network.
    I've got a quite old Netgear MR314 wireless (802.11b) router. Yesterday I got my Macbook Pro C2D and tried to get connected to my wireless home network. Airport was turned on, but no wireless networks showed up in the list. My Ibook could access my network just fine. I tried to disable all wireless security such as WEP and access control based on the MAC address of the Airport card, but it didn't help. Sometimes I even saw some neighbor's network, but not my own.
    Today I logged in to the setup page of the Netgear router and played around with channel setting. By default it was set to 1. Channel 2 didn't work, but when I tried channel 6 or 11 (didn't try all of them), my network showed up in the list and I now get full reception!
    Hope this helps someone.
    MBP C2D 2,33 / 2 GB   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I had the same problem, turned out my airport card inside the macbook was fried. Apple replaced it and while they were doing it they fried my MB and RAM. So after 2 days I have pretty much a new computer. Buy the extended warranty.

  • MBP shutting down wireless

    My macbook pro will repeatedly shut down my wireless router causing me to have to reconfigure it every time i connect to it... my friends can use their pc's on it with no problem... i am completely lost on the wireless part... please help

    It's not the battery. Many of the Mac Books have a far more serious problem with their internal hardware.
    The first thing i suggest is repair your permissions.
    Secondly, make sure you have updated firmware.
    Thirdly, try reseating your ram.
    Last, alert Applecare. Tell them your problem, and the steps you have taken.
    It is likely that you will need to:
    a.) have your logic board replaced (it will take about a week, including shipping)
    or b.) need a replacement.
    I just went through all of this. If you want me to walk you through anything, just let me know.

  • MBP 2007 thinks wireless router password is incorrect

    Yes... I have checked the password a BILLION times. I do have the password right but it thinks I don't.
    I've been connecting to this router for 8 months problem free. Now it says I have the password wrong. I have reset it loads of times to try to fix it but no matter what the computer the router is connected to says the password is, mine won't connect.
    The router is a D-Link wireless N router and I configured the router on a PC because the D-Link CD ROMs won't run on the Mac.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    I have the same problem with a Dlink DIR-655... I connect to it from my Vista machine... You can try installing Firefox on your Mac to see if that will do it.

  • MBP 2011 dropping wireless connection

    my wifi connection drops every 2-3 minute and reconnects in 15-20 seconds.when I connect to the internet with my neighbor's modem it works fine.
    Although I made a very wide research i found nothing helpful about this issue. Can you help me to solve this dropping problem?
    i tried to delete /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder and restart computer.. it didn t work
    i tried to change my modem/router channel.. it didn t work(i tried 1,6,9,11 channels).

    Hey Stewey,
    I have a similar problem with my iMac G5. My roommate, who has an HP, bought a Linksys WRT54G when we moved in to our place and it gives me trouble with Airport sometimes. We use G only and WPA Personal. I updated the firmware in February and I swear it got a bit better, but it still goes out sometimes. If I move it just a few inches in any direction, generally it will start working again. Resetting it also helps sometimes. I don't know if its the fact that it doesn't say it's compatible with any Mac on the box, but it's annoying as all ****. My roomie rarely has problems with it (our rooms are the same distance away from the router), but my friend brought his PB over to do some work and he had trouble in my room as well. Is it Linksys, or is it Airport? I have no idea. Our router is out in the living room, next to the TV and Xbox 360, so it might be interference. If possible, try moving the router to higher ground and away from other electronics.
    I tried looking up your router online to see if I could find anything else out. Didn't find too much info, but it says that you get free 24 hour tech support. You don't see that too often. If you can't figure it out, give them a call.
    Good luck!

  • Losing wireless connexion from a TC with a MBP

    I don't understand why from time to time I open my mbp and the wireless connexion with my tc can't seem to work. I took a look at the logs in the TC and here is what shows each time I close and open again the airport on the mbp:

    This goes on and on and I can't have my connexion back. I must connect with an ethernet cable for a while and some time later (minutes or hours, it doesn't seem to be a constant) I get back my wireless connexion. I have another computer that seems to be working wirelessly, but I don't know if it has the same problem, I don't use internet that often with the other one. One sure thing, it is working on the other computer while it's not with the mbp. I ruled out the network adapter of the mbp because while I can't connect with my tc, I can connect with any non secure wireless router around.
    I am running OS X leopard 10.5.4 with all the available updates at the time as for the tc, every updates have been made.
    Tell us if you have the same problem or if you found something to fix it.
    Thanks a lot!

    I don't have 10.4.x so haven't tried. With 10.2.8 and 10.3.9, after setting up the Airp. Expr., I had success printing wireless with the driver that shipped on the printer CD. (I found the 1320 showed up in the list under Rendezvous printers. You do have to be sure the base station is configured for a USB printer.. there's a tab for base station options--I think, don't have it in front of me now--when you configure using the Airport admin utility.)
    I also noticed HP has an update for the 1320: HP LaserJet v5.5.2.051. I downloaded and updated to that. Then, I did have a problem, I think because I also installed an updated driver for Classic after running the installer for OSX.. got no error messages when I tried to print after that but the printer never flashed and no paper ever came out(!). So I re-ran the OSX installer and then it all worked fine again.
    Good luck!

  • WRT54GX2 slow wireless 5.5 mbps speed help please

    So I just received my WRT54GX2 and got it hooked up. Here are some details of my equipment which are all experiencing the same issue while connected via wireless.
    1 Dell Inspiron wireless G. (updated latest driver)
    1 Toshiba laptop wireless G (not sure on driver yet)
    1 custom tower with wireless G (updated latest driver)
    WRT54GX2 ver 2 with firm ware 1.00.08 (just updated)
    Comcast 6 Meg cable internet service with Motorolla cable modem
     Here is the problem I am experiencing.
    After configuring the WPA2/TKIP settings and getting everybody logged on, the wireless connectivity speed (reported via the windows XP wireless utility) indicates connection speeds of 5.5 Mbs. If I disable the adapter and re-enable it, it connects and is at 54 Mbps for about 1 second, then rapidly drops down to the 5.5 which is where it stays. This problem is replicated on all 3 PC's on the wireless. I have tried adjusting the beacon interval down to 50, even went down to 10 with no result. I changed the RTS threshhold to 2304. Tried setting the transmission rate from auto to 54 Mbps. I tried adjusting the RWIN settings on my PC as suggested in another post here where somebody was experiencing a similar problem. I have installed the Microsoft WPA2 patch (893357) and that made no difference either. I have switched to G only instead of mixed mode. Tried channels 1, 11, 7, 6, and probably most of the others. Moved the router around to different locations in the room. Even sitting within arms reach of it, I still only see the 5.5 Mbps (I have full signal strength BTW). I ran netstumbler and found very few wireless networks within range. And the ones that were had very weak signals. Short of unplugging my cordless phone, I am at a loss of things to try. I may reset the router and try a new config from scratch, but if there is any help on this subject it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch.  If you have not done this since your last firmware upgrade, please do this now.   If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    There are many causes for poor wireless connections, and many solutions:
    First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
    Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
    In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
    Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
    Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
    If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for all your wireless cards.  Note that often the speed of your wireless network is determined by the "weakest link" in your system.  You might want to try to isolate the problem by turning on each wireless computer separately, then two at a time.  You might be able to tell which computer is bringing down your wireless speed.
    If you still have trouble, try the following.
    For wireless g routers, try setting the "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps. For wireless n routers, try setting the "n Transmission Rate" to 162 Mbps, and the (wireless g) "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps.
    Hope this helps.

  • 70 mbps through wired, BUT 18 mbps through wireless? (WRT300N v1.1 )

    Hey I just got my cable speed upgraded and was doing some speedtests. My equipment is
    Netgear CMD311 Modem
    Linksys WRT300N v1.1 Wireless N Router
    When I test ethernet, it gets very good like 75 mbps, but through wireless it gets 20mbps on my laptop and more like 13 mbps on my desktop wireless.
    Both computers were in very close range to the router (like 20 feet)
    I know wired is much better but it shouldn't be losing THIS much should it?
    Both computers have wireless N adapters
    Any ideas on how to fix?
    Thank you

    Hi, does the figure you have posted correspond to the actual internet speed or to a link/card speed? It does seem though that there is big discrepancy with the figures, so you need to optimize the router’s wireless settings. Upgrade the router to the latest firmware and reset the router afterwards. You can then improve the signal coming from the router by using a non-overlapping channel. Use a wifi analyzer like http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ to help you select the best channel. Another way to improve the signal is by relocating the router to a more central and elevated location. Do not place the router in a glass or metallic surface to avoid wireless interference. Lastly, change the router’s advanced wireless settings (using these values: beacon 50; dtim 3, frag 2304, rts 2305) to help improve the router’s transfer rate.

  • E2000 max wireless-n speed 72 Mbps?

    I just bought a refurbished E2000 wireless-n router with 1 Gb LAN ports (from Cisco online).
    This router is meant to replace my Netgear wireless-n router that only have 100 Mb LAN ports.
    I have 10 devices in my home network, 6 of them are using wireless (1 'g' and 5 'n') and 4 are interconnected with cat5e cables (trough the router).
    The devices have some different operating systems and their network adapters are from different brands.
    When I set up the Netgear router I didn't have to adjust anything for the wireless network to work fine.
    All wireless-n devices worked at 150 Mbps (sometimes going down shortly to 130 Mbps).
    The wireless-g device worked at 54 Mbps.
    For the last 2 days I've been trying to set up the E2000 to achieve a wireless-n speed higher then 72 Mpbs... without success.
    I tried all the suggestions that I found in the Cisco Knowledge Base.
    - Upgrading the firmware to the latest version
    - Trying different channels and channel widths
    - Different wireless security methods
    and many others.
    Also trying different settings on the different devices doesn't help.
    Changing the distance between router and devices as well as changing the location of the router don't affect the results.
    Switching on only 1 device at a time doesn't change anything either.
    It looks like the E2000 is set to not transmit on a higher speed than 72 Mbps, when it's actually supposed to achieve a wireless-n speed of up to 300 Mbps. I would be lucky if I get the half of it, but not if it's only one fourth.
    Is there some hint somebody can give me?
    Thanks!

    According to the information that you provided in your post that after upgrading the firmware you didn’t reset the Router to factory default and configured again…. So reset the router power cycle the whole network and then reconfigure it again… As well as update the drivers of the WLAN card installed in the wireless computers….
    So if you want to configure the Router with the help of the Cisco Connect Software then…
    You need to uninstall the existing Cisco Connect Software from the computer if there...
    Reset the Router and power cycle the network...
    Make the following connectivity: Connect the Modem with the Router on the Internet port and then connect the Computer with any one of the Ethernet port of the Router (Numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4)... Then install the Cisco Connect Software...
    It will help you in configuring the Router...
    But if you want to configure it manually the follow the following steps…

  • When bootcamping, MBP(Retina 15") does not have wireless capabilities.  What do I do?

    I used bootcamp with no problems on my iMac (2008), booting into Windows 7 32bit.  However, with my recently purchased MBP Retina the wireless card seems to be missing a driver or something, and will not even show when I go to wireless help on windows 7.  I installed the Windows 7 64bit. 

    After installing Windows you must immediately install the drivers provided by BC prior to installing Win. The operations BC does are: 1. create Windows partition; 2. create drivers to be either burnt unto a CD or copied to a USB flash drive; 3. install windows. When Windows is ready, use the product created in step 2, otherwise you will have a lot of problem running Windows, from resolution, to wireless and bluetooth.
