Can a MacBook (Early 2008) Support both sound and video to 1080p HDTV by Mini-DVI to HDMI cable?

The mini dvi on the MacBook will only support video, in order to get audio you'll need to a cable from the sound out port to the sound in port on the TV.

Mini DisplayPort to support both audio and video coming soon?

So I notice that Apple updated the MacBook Pro Mini DisplayPort implementation to support BOTH audio AND video.
Think this will make it’s way to the Mac mini soon, or an update still a long way off?

Probably in the next refresh, but the mini was refreshed twice last year, so another refresh in less than a year would probably be too much for which to hope!
There is always this US$49 wonder;

MacBook 2007 black 13" would a mini-DVI to HDMI cable send audio to the TV?

I attached my macbook (2007 black 13") to my TV with a mini-DVI to VGA; would a mini-DVI to HDMI cable allow my audio to play through the TV? Wanted to ask before I purchased it. Thanks.

No. The black MacBooks don't send audio through HDMI, so you'd need to connect the audio separately.

No sound on TV with mini DVI to HDMI cable. Macbook, white, 2008-9 13"

Picture is fine, mirroring turned on, using mini dvi converter into HDMI on a new Samsung flat screen. Want to avoid using additional cable from earhone plug to RCA plug in TV. Thanks

Thanks for the prompt reply; it saved me going through 16,000 permutations for nought. BTW, although it seemed to be working well yesterday, today the computer is failing to load new sites, etc. when the DIVI is plugged in, and proceeds fine when unplugged. Also, when I plug in the DVI, the screen image on the computer and tv flickers between black and then blue screens before the image stabilizes. My TV and internet are both on Comcast cable, if that makes a difference. Thanks for you help; I wish the folks who sold lme the cable knew as much. Also, no one seemed to know that you have to turn on the "mirroring" function for it to work at all.

Will DVI to HDMI adapter on MBP carry both sound and video ?

I have an older Duo Core 3.1 MBP 15". Will the DVI to HDMI adapter carry both the video and audio channels for TV viewing ?
Thanks,
RL

DVI does not carry audio but there are adapters that add digital audio DVI to connect to HDMI.

You will also need to convert the optical to coax digital

and optical Mini-Plug to Toslink

It would be cheaper to use a cable from the computer's audio output to audio input on the TV.

Does MacBook Early 2008 support 5GHz wifi?

Hi everybody,
I just want to purchase the new AirPort Express dual band to improve wifi domestic network, but I don't know if my MacBook is using 2,4 or 5 GHz....
TNX

I don't think this model does. Only 2.4GHz is supported I think.

Automomous AP not broadcasting SSID and can I get it to support both WPA and WPA2?

Ok, I am playing around with a 3702i that has been converted to Autonomous running ap3g2-k9w7-mx.153-3.JAB
I have 2 issues I have not been able to solve yet.   I have basically set it up using the web interface....
First, I can't get the SSID to broadcast -- the SSID is active, because I can type it in manually.
Second, I have an HP 8600 Pro All-in-One printer that I normally connect over WiFi. Basically, it does not seem to support WPA2...I spent most of yesterday pouring through HP forums and WPA2 support seems to be a issue. My old Linksys router had a setting that supported WPA/WPA2...does anyone know how or if I can support WPA / WPA2 simultaneously on this Autonomous AP?
Here is my config:
Thanks....

Hi
You have to add "guest mode" command to broadcast your SSID. Also if you need WPA/TKIP support then remove version 2 keyword under SSID & add TKIP option under radio interface encryption config. Also get rid of "infrastructure SSID" command under SSID config.

Queries on Macbook to Sony Bravia TV using a MINI DVI TO HDMI cable

Write, im probs going to get told to read up or research before posting, but I've connected up my Macbook (late 2009) to my TV using above said cable, and it works fine, great infact, but my problem is, if i drag say iplayer to my tv and watch a program in full screen, when i click on my macbook screen, it reverts to normal playback.
Is there a setting to get around this?? Ive tried playing with settings but im new to Macs and still have tings to learn! I've also turned on side by side not mirror.
Also, I've read about closed displays, but when i shut mine, it turns off, and I've clicked the lin in a previous post about this subject but it only talks about wireless keyboard/mouse working while closed...
Cheers

When you try to use the MacBook in clamshell mode you need an external USB keyboard & mouse. When you close the lid the MacBook goes to sleep and you need to strike a key on the keyboard to wake it up.
That's why the previous talked about wireless keyboard/mouse working while closed.

I can't get my iMac (mid 2011) to connect to my tv using a mini dvi to hdmi

How do I get my iMac to connect to a toshiba tv using a minidvi to hdmi cable?

You may need to try a higher quality cable, here is a an Apple article about them and I've had good luck buying Apple's cables and I have had good luck with Mono Price. Try About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adpaters.

How do you get sound and video from a macbook pro (before 2010) onto a 2010 toshiba 40" tv?

Any help on connecting a macbook pro (late 2009) to a 2010 toshiba 40" for both sound and video? I have the mini-hdmi cable, but have no idea about running sound through the tv. I can use the headphone jack, but don't know where to connect it to on the back of the tv. Am I supposed to change any settings on the tv or computer to allow the sound to go through the tv? thanks for any help.

You need a stereo mini to RCA break out cable.

I am trying to connect my Macbook 4.1 Black to my Samsung UE50F6400 using a mini DVI to HDMI adaptor

I bought the UE50F6400 samrt TV. It has 4 HDMI ports. HDMI 4 is HDMI/DVI, HDMI 3 is normal, HDMI 2 is (ARC) and HDMI 1 is (STB).
reading the connection diagram it shows Laptops are to be plugged in to HDMI 4 (HDMI/DVI). But when I plug a HDMI cable in and the other end to the adpator while the mini DVI connection is in the Macbook DVI port. All that happens is the Macbook (4.1 black) screen just flashes blue. This is the same for HDMI 1 & 3, however when it is in HDMI 2 (ARC) the Macbook screen displays. I tried switching TV of and rstarting macbook but still no display on TV. I tried changing display setting such as resolutions and refresh rate on the display preferences and still no display on TV.
Please can someone help?
I am think I may have to return the Mini DVI to HDMI cable and get a HDMI to DVI > DVI to mini DVI and do it that way, means buying 2 adaptors.

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.

MacBook Pro Mini-DVI to HDMI problems - not consistent

I have a MacBook Pro and I'm trying to hook my LG LCD up from the Mini-DVI to HDMI cable. Sometimes the TV is recognized no problem, but sometimes the TV doesn't receive the signal, any thoughts on how to make sure the TV is always recognized?
I saw a post once about having the macbook boot connected to the TV to recognize it, and it worked, but I think I'm missing something again because I can't seem to do it again! I'm looking for the post but can't find it!

Just to add, i think the cables are all in working order as when i plug in the adapter to the macbook the screen temporarily goes blue then back to normal desktop. This only happens if the cables are plugged into the back of the TV. However they two still wont recognise each other.

Can I install a 1TB SSD on MacBook Early 2008 model?

Hi,
I have a MacBook Early 2008 model running on Lion 10.7.5. Everything worked perfectly until recently I noticed that the HDD has been making some weird clicking sounds. I spoke and showed it to the local repair shop and they suggested that I have my HDD replaced asap as it could crash anytime.
Now I was wondering if I could just install a SSD on it as those run quite faster than HDD's? I did ask the local repair shop this question but they seemed not to know anything about the MacBook's compatability with the SSD as its an old model.
A quick answer would be very much helpful.
Thanks
-Mustafa

• What I really wanted to know is, are the HDD and SSD connectors same? And would the MacBook be able to handle it?
Yes. Should work very well. I've done this on an old Macbook and a new one. Not difficult, but you will need a # 8 torx screw driver and a #1 Phillips.
The connectors are standardised.
You can google for "how to" videos, there are many on line.

I am currently running OS X 10.5.8 on my MacBook (early 2008) and want to know if I can upgrade to a version that will allow me to use iCloud to sync with my new iPad?

I am currently running OS X 10.5.8 on my MacBook (early 2008) and want to know if I can upgrade to a version that will allow me to use iCloud to sync with my new iPad?

I believe to use iCloud you need to run at least Lion (10.7). (Only the Find My iPhone or Find My Mac parts of iCloud work with OS earlier than 10.7/Lion).
I think you can run Lion but you should check each of the following:
"To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
7 GB of available disk space
2 GB of RAM
If your Mac does not meet these requirements, you will need to upgrade your Mac before installing Lion"
You have a Core 2 Duo. You can upgrade to 10.6 and then install Lion, or use the thumb drive approach mentioned above (thumb drive Lion costs about $70 I think). You need to check your RAM to see if you have enough.
Folks have reported that 4 GB RAM is really a minimum for a decent experience with Lion.
For Mountain Lion, see this ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444 ) for what you need to have to install OS 10.8. I don't think you can use Mountain Lion (10.8) with your early 2008 Macbook.
