32" television

Is there a way to set the macbook to support a 32" CRT television set via S-Video? or is this just not possible with my current chipset?

Sounds like you need the mini-DVI to video adapter:

Keep in mind that the video adapter is video only, you'll need a separate audio "Y" cable if you wt to get sound out of your MacBook and into the TV.

  • How to connect my macbook pro to LDC television

    I have a macbook pro 13-inch, mid 2012 model.
    I have an LCD television of 32 inch from panasonic (TH-L32C8K).
    My TV does not have hdmi port but have vga and AV ports.
    To connect to Macbook I bought an thunderbolt to hdmi cable. Then I bought an hdmi to vga cable. So my final arrangement is like this
    Macbook<-->thunderbolt-to-hdmi-cable<-->hdmi-to-vga-cable<-->Television
    On the television i changed to AV mode to PC. But nothing is shown on the tv screen. My TV works with other thing. When i connect the macbook pro, it does not show anything. Can you guys suggest whats going wrong? Before buying this macbook, i was like dreaming about it. But now life became so hard using the mac. Everything is pricy and not compatible to outside world devices.

    That's a complete mess and I am not suprised that it is not working.
    Instead of getting two adapters, you could just get a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter and a simple VGA cable, so you can be sure it will work. Maybe you should have looked for more information before purchasing anything.

  • HT204291 Airplay mirroring. Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions

    Airplay mirroring.
    Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions.
    Firewall set correctly (allow incoming...)
    When I click mirroring to turn it on, teh Apple TV screen goes blank (from its home setting)
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi!
    I figured it out! It was a firewall issue.
    I use Handsoff and I checked it before i wrote here. There was no "user defined rule" that denied the communication but when i changed to "All rules" the program displayed several rules regarding AppleTV and its IP.
    So if anybody has the same problem make sure you see all rules of your firewall and get rid of the AppleTV related rules generated by the program itself. You dont need to update to the latest iOS on the AppleTV!
    I hope that I can help some people with this info to fix the problem.

  • How do I use my 26" Polaroid FLM-2601 Television as a montor for my mac mini?

    How do I use my 26" Polaroid FLM-2601 Television as a montor for my mac mini? I keep getting "no signal" for every resolution and refresh rate I've tried both for VGA and DVI settings (listed in the back of the manual for the polaroid tv and a few people posted online).
    I  plug the VGA cable into my old monitor, changing the settings and move the VGA input cable to the TV,  (direct to VGA in or thru a VGA to DVI adaptor) and so far thru either input I only get a black screen with "No Signal - VGA Input" or "No Signal - DVI Input" displayed, so then I go back to the old monitor, try another resolution/refresh rate and try the TV again. This can't be the best way to do this - plus I'm out of resolution options.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Go to System Preferences>Displays. Change the settings to your desire.

  • Remote for two televisions

    I have two televisions side by side that I use for computer monitors or TV as the occasion warrants. Either remote acts on both sets but I'd like to set them up so that each remote only controls one TV. Is this possible?

    It is not possible, it is already pre-programmed from the factory and there's no way to override the factory settings. 

  • I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.  I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.

    I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.
    I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.  The Photos app that comes with the phone or iPad has extremely limited duration controls.  PhotoStream seems to load everything from my phone or iPad not allowing me to just load up a set group of images.
    iPhoto for iPad is getting some terrible recent reviews.  I tried a couple other free apps but they don't use Airplay.
    I can do something like this with iPhoto and my MB Air, but it's kind of ugly to have the computer open in order to connect by Airplay to my Apple TV.  I've thought the iPad or iPhone would be a lower profile controller.
    Am I out of luck?

    Thanks for your help.  Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV.  I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air.  Thanks again.

  • How to connect my macbook pro to my apple tv to watch a DVD on my television?

    How do I use appleTV to connect my Macbook Pro to my big television? I want to watch a DVD on my television... But don't have a DVD player...
    Can I connect my computer to display on my televison!

    You can use a HDMI cable.  The adapter you need depends on the age of your MacBook Pro.

  • How do I connect my mid-2009 Macbook pro to my HDMI television and get sound?

    How do I connect my mid-2009 Macbook pro to my HDMI television and get sound?

    Use a mini-Displayport-to-HDMI adapter and a standard HDMI cable to connect the computer to the proper HDMI port on your computer — the one that is paired with the separate RCA audio inputs (see the TV's manual for this information). And connect the headphone port on your MBP to those inputs with a cable that has a 1/8' stereo headphone plug on one end and two RCA plugs on the other. You'll also need to select the proper HDMI input in the TV's menu system, and you may have to select the headphone port as the audio output in the Sound pane of System Prefs on the Mac (or it may be selected automatically).

  • Satellite L300-29X - How to connect to television?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300-29X with a mini-VGA output and would like to connect it to my television, preferably through the DVI-I dual analogue/digital input, but cannot find a cable that will do this. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I live in the UK and as such, only have access to UK based retailers and do not want to pay the exorbitant costs of importing from overseas.
    If all else fails, I could connect through the SCART input on my TV, but again, could anyone point me in the right direction of a cable that could do this?
    Cheers in advance for any help.
    C
    I've also just noticed my TV has a 9-pin RS232 input as well if that is any help?

    OK, I think I know what I need now, obviously I've been getting myself confused somewhere.
    I must have read something somewhere about mini-VGA ports and got my wires crossed, so to speak. I tried a VGA cable from an old monitor and it fits nicely, it's just that my laptop doesn't have the bits for the screws to go into, so I presume that is the only difference that makes it "mini".
    Anyway, thanks for all the help guys and hopefully once I can locate the correct cable and adapter, I'll be able to watch my new star trek film boxset on a decent size screen! Good Times! :-D

  • After connecting my Apple TV this morning, I have no sound. It is hooked up to play through my television speakers. Any ideas on how to get sound? Also, I tried hooking it up through my surround receiver, but could not get it to come up on my ty screen.

    After connecting my Apple TV this morning, I have no sound. It is hooked up to play through my television speakers. Any ideas on how to get sound? Also, I tried hooking it up through my surround receiver, but could not get it to come up on my ty screen, what can I do to correct this problem?

    Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.
    Also make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.
    Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of content? If you use optical you might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device?

  • DVI to VGA and DVI to Television

    I have a MacBook PRO. Below is the profile for display. I would like to connect an external monitor and I would also like to connect my computer to Television to watch movies. Both my TV's are over 4 years old and have S-Video as well as RBG (Y/pb/ Pr) / RCA. Please advise the two different kind of adapters/cables that I need to buy to make both the functions work.

    Based on your video card, you have an older MBP with a DVI out.
    For the external monitor, you'd need the Apple DVI to VGA Display Adapter - one came as an included accessory with your MBP, but you can also purchase one from Apple, at a retail store or online using THIS LINK.
    For the TVs, you'd need the Apple DVI to Video Adapter, which has both s-video and composite (single RCA-type jack with a yellow band) output. You can purchase one from Apple, at a retail store or online using THIS LINK.
    Note that the DVI out is only video - for the audio, you'd need mini-stereo to RCA cable - you can find those at Radio Shack, Target, etc., or online.

  • My Macbook Pro wont play sound through Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter on toshiba television anymore. The sound plays through sony or samsung television, but not toshiba television.

    I have a Macbook Pro early 2011 running on mountain lion version 10.8.2. A while back, i purchased a mini display port thru HDMI port so i could watch dvds on my toshiba television. it all worked great for a while, then the sound just stopped working. At first, I thought the mini display port connector must have broke, until I plugged it into a sony television and it worked. I also tried using it through a samsung television and it worked just fine. Why does it not work through the toshiba television anymore? The picture works fine, but the sound does not come thru the television anymore. My mac is set to play sound thru the HDMI port and it doesnt. When i switch it to built in internal speakers, the sound comes thru my mac, but when i switch it, no sound comes out. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thank you!

    I am still waiting to receive a response from them, but i dont think they'll be much help. the television still works fine and all of the ports on the back, including both HDMI ports, work perfectly.

  • Video out from MBA to non-HDMI television?

    Hello, I'm sure this has been asked in the past, but . . . Is there anyway to get video that is streamed over Wifi to my MBA 13" late 2011 to connect to my circa 2003 Hitachi plasma TV without HDMI?
    The TV is cabable of showing 780 HD video (I have an HD cable box), but right now I use component video cables from my cable box. Options would be some sort of Thunderbolt to component cable converter (if this even exists) or some way to connected a non-Wifi enabled TV to the Web. The TV has componet and composite inputs
    Someone told me that the Wii will output to composite. True?

    Hi there.
    Glad you are enjoying the wide variety of apps available on the App Store.
    To connect your non-HDMI compatible television to your iPad, you may try using a component cable for iPad (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC917ZM/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE) or a composite cable for iPad (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE).
    While the VGA adapter will work if your television supports VGA, I am not certain of (and would not recommend) using an adapter.
    Hope this helps, and good luck getting your problem solved. Let us know if you need any additional help.

  • Macbook to LG television via hdmi - can;t get it to connect

    HelloI
    I have borrowed a friend's cables to see if I can connect my macbook to my LG television. I have the apple mini DVI to HDMI cable and the belkin HDMI to DVI cable and the television tuned to hdmi1 channel - there is only one hdmi port but i've checked all the input settings,
    Should i be changing any settings on my macbook? The tv is just showing as no signal and it's driving me mad!
    Thanks
    Susan

    There is no Apple mini-DVI to HDMI adapter, so you either have a 3rd-party adapter or a different Apple adapter.
    Are you certain these cables work?
    Have you used the adapter before?
