i want to connect my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) to my Hisense LED LCD TV, ModelNumber:40H3E  and getting digital audio sound from my TV as well as video, but have no clue on how or where to even start to successfully pairing the two and getting sound.
I own a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) this MacBook model doesnt support an HDMI port. My MacBooks model has the Mini Displayport which supports video out but does not support audio out. Can someone help me by telling me exactly which Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with audio will support my model MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) and exactly what HDMI wire do i need to buy that will successfully preform digital audio and sadisfying quality visual through TV?

im not familar AT ALL with any of this so i hope me giving you my MacBook Pros make and model and my TV's model number will be enough information for someone to help me.
just please give me anything you can on this topic
thank you so much,

With a 2009 MacBook Pro, you need to use two connections to your TV: one for video and another one for audio.  The miniDisplayPort on the 2009 models does not support audio, so you need a separate audio cable:
miniDisplayPort adapter for video - I use the Apple miniDisplayport-DVI adapter + a DVI-HDMI cable like this one
audio cable for audio - use a 3.5mm male stereo-to-2xRCA male cable like this one
Connect the miniDisplayport adapter + DVI/HDMI cable to your MacBook Pro's miniDisplayPort output and the HDMI input on your TV
Connect the audio cable to your MacBook Pro's audio out and your TV's audio in
The only potential gotcha is if your Hisense TV requires audio via the HDMI cable when you use an HDMI cable.  The H3e user manual is unclear about this.

    Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
    If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
    and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
    Good luck Derek

  • Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter by Belkin for iMac 2009 failed to work

    This is an SOS message. I have purchased another Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter and I have iMac (27-inc, Late 2009) running OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10.1).  I have carried out the connection of Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to LG Plasma TV Screen, but there is no sign of any of the equipment reading or aware of the connection.  Is there anybody out there who can help me make it work?  Also, why is that Yosemite - System Preference, click on Displays does not contain - Arrangement?  I'll greatly appreciate any useful tips from the community or apple support team.

    Eric has helped in providing in dept understanding around the subject matter, but unfortunately, it has not provided the solution to the problem.
    The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter when connected to the external Plasma TV screen, nothing happens.  The System Preferences was accessed -and the Displays monitor sign was clicked, but it only showed - Display/Colour, which according to the instructions / descriptions contain in the - Video Troubleshooting Internal and External Monitors literatures and video, there seems to be missing - Arrangement / or AirPlay from my OS X Yosemite version. 
    The above is the version of OS X Yosemite - showing on my *iMac when clicked on System Preferences, and as result I have not been able to make the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter to LG Plasma TV Screen to work.
    My *iMac is -
    iMac (27-inch, Late 2009)
    iMac10,1
    (10.10.1)
    MB952XX/A
    Running OS X Yosemite
    When the above image is compared with the following image below, there is definitely something missing and it’s probably affecting the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter to work in my connection.
    Questions:
    How can I make my iMac 10,1 (27-in, late 2009, currently running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1) to have the above AirPlay mirroring or Arrangement to activate the connection? 
    Are there other ways I can make the connection to work?
    Is there any body who has a similar iMac specs and OS X Yosemite who has overcome connecting to external Plasma TV Screen?

  • Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with sound

    There are 2 Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters that combine sound into the HDMI signal, http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802&pid=5969&seq=1&format=2 (one that uses USB for the audio) and http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802&pid=6331&seq=1&format=2 (one that uses the mini TOSLink for the sound). The USB sound one is cheaper, but does it output a true 5.1 signal? I know the more expensive TOSLink one will, but if possible I'd like to get the cheaper adapter. If it outputs a 5.1 signal, I can get the USB sound adapter, otherwise I'll get the pricier TOSLink one. Thanks, Zach

    Only the adapter with Toslink can supports the 5.1 Channel audio. You can get the product through the Link: http://www.cablematters.com/pc-56-26-mini-displayport-male-and-toslink-audiousb- male-to-hdmi-female-adapter.aspx
    There is more helpful information on its site and has Youtube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc1zI7LMlls

  • I bought the mini displayport to hdmi adapter with the cable

    (the ethernet high speed one that connects to the mini displayport) to connect to my sony bravia...and all I see is the Apple purple sky....why won't it work?

    What are you expecting to see? The same images you see on the notebook screen or something different?
    Sounds like you have the external screen set to act as a secondary screen (extend the desktop), but want it to mirror the main screen. You can control that in System Preferences > Displays.

  • Hdmi with audio for MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009)

    Hi
    Have anyone used aa cable to send video and hdmi on this particular model? I'd use a displayport-to-hdmi cable (male-male). but, i've read that this particular model won't send the audio signal over.
    this is my computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP541
    thoughts?

    Mini display port on that model does not carry audio. To get audio you must also use audio cable as well as hdmi cable.

  • Airdrop gone with Yosemite on MacBook Pro mid 2009

    Why was Airdrop removed on a MacBook Pro mid 2009? It worked just fine under Mavericks and before. How do I get it back?
    Steffen

    After several restarts of the older Mac, they now see each other in the Airdrop window. I forgot to write that I already set the Airdrop window on the newer Mac to show older Macs before. The restarts helped in a way. I don't know what was wrong.

  • Mac is not connecting to TV after using Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Cable?

    Macbook Pro is not connecting to TV after using Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Cable. 2010 Macbook Pro, just purchased Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Cable from Amazon. Link here: http://www.amazon.com/Mini_Dis-HDMI-CB6-Mini-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B003OC 6LWM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406238976&sr=8-2&keywords=mac+to+tv --When i connect both ends of the cable to the TV and to the laptop, the screen will blink, but then afterwards it will not mirror on the TV. I have tried going to display setting but cannot find the arrangements tab. When i searched "arrangements" a message said, "The Arrangement tab of Displays preferences is hidden because you only have a single display attached to this computer." Not sure how to fix this problem. I have connected this laptop to a TV before, but with a different cable other than the one i just purchased. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Found the fix.  Still don't know if it was Windows, iTunes, or Norton 360, but this worked immediately for me:

    I found a solution posted from Rodfromnework for PC users. It worked for me and easy to do.
    Start --> Programs --> Accessories (Right Click on Command Prompt) --> Run as Administrator
    then type in:
    Netsh winsock reset
    Hit enter, restart PC, open iTunes, go to Store
    Hope it works for you too. 

  • Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter plays video but does not do Audio

    Ok I was told by someone at the Apple Store durring my one to one secession that I could get a mini to HDMI cable and the video and audio from my laptop would be displayed on the TV.
    This was the cable I was told to get http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0025V2VO0/ref=oxya_ohproduct

    Now it displays the video on the TV but no audio.

    Apparently it's the current range of MBP's that's the issue. In theory, the displayport standard supports audio.

  • Mini displayport to HDMI adapter? or cable?

    which would be a better connection for macbook pro to HDTV, a mini displayport to HDMI adapter with cable? or a mini displayport to HDMI cable??

    I would opt for a single cable such as this eliminating the adapter.  The less connections, the better:

    You can connect the audio from your iMac to your TV using a mini jack (like headphones plug) to rca (regular red and white audio connectors used on every TV,DVD, etc) cable.
    On your TV, you need to be able to set the audio for the HDMI input you will use to "analog" and connect the rca end of the cable to the analog inputs on your TV.

  • Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter... no audio

    i just purchased a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter for my MacBook Pro 2012 and have connected to my TV. I have video, but no audio. Does anyone know how to get the audio to work?

    I might be wrong but the MBP 2008 does not have audio supplied capability over MDP to HDMI.

  • No audio via Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter

    I have a late 2008 model (MB470LL/A) 15" MacBook Pro running 10.6.7.
    I purchased a Dynex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter that's not picking up the audio signal. The video plays  fine via HDMI to our TV, but no audio.
    In looking online I've seen this is a known issue. Has anyone discovered a work around other then running a separate audio cable from my computer to the TV?
    I'm really surprised there is no audio this way. Someone dropped the ball on this one.

  • Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter ... yes or no

    Hi
    Is it possible to use a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter like this one to connect the HDMI out port on my Nokia N8 to my 27" imac?

    Thank you

    You are right: Thunderbolt supports both Mini DisplayPort cables and adapters without any problem, but Mini DisplayPort does not support Thunderbolt cables.
    If you have got an Apple display with Mini DisplayPort, you can use it with the new Mac Pro. Just use the Mini DisplayPort cable or adapter you need. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#22
