Cannot Connect My Macbook 2011 to TV with Thunderbolt

I am trying to connect my Macbook Pro to my TV through my thunderbolt. For some reason it says that my thunderbolt is inactive and I keep receiving this message, "None of the member interfaces are connected. Click Advanced for details." I then go to my advanced details and see that my Thunderbolt 1 is Inactive. What do I do?

Hi s,
I don't think a basic adapter is going to do it, I think you need a transcoder such as something like this: http://www.digitalconnection.com/products/video/9a60.asp

I cannot connect my MacBook to LG Smart TV

I cannot connect my MacBook (13-inch Late 2007) to LG Smart TV (47LB730V) via "mini-DVI to HDMI" cable.
TV says that something is connected to HDMI input and then show "No Signal" message.
But when I connect my Mac with the same cable and settings to another display (to DVI or HDMI input) everything works fine.
I think I should place something to "system\libraries\displays\overrides" folder, but do not know what

HT1338 cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector -does not detect and 2nd monitor. I have a new Mini port to VGA cable made by apple. When I read online I see that many people have the same problem - Is this an Apple defect??????????????????

I cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector - It will not detect a 2nd monitor or display. I am using an Apple made Mini Display port to VGA adapter. As I read online I see that many other peple are having the same problem. Is this an Apple defect!!???? If so it just burst the bubble about how great macs are. I never had a problem with that on a PC. I hope I am wrong. What can you tell me?

Hi There,
I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Defect MacBook 2011. Problems with the video chip.

I was faced with the legendary defect MacBook 2011. Problems with the video chip. Heard about what Apple makes replacement chips for free. My friend a year ago made the change in the service center. Is this true now?

Since Apple says that some copy protected DVD's will not function with Disk Sharing, you may need to "clone" the DVD, using the MBP, to a flash drive, and use the flash drive to perform the installation of the software.
Another alternative is to download and install the Trial version from the Microsoft Office For Mac website, and then use the activation code provided with the DVD to activate the full version install of the trial.

Cannot connect 2 macbooks to the internet through AEBS?

Hi,
I have 2 Macbooks, Airport Extreme Base Station & a 320T D-link router. My ISP is plusnet who uses PPPoA settings on the d-link router. So i have set the router up and when i connect it to the Macbooks directly via ethernet i can access the internet. But once i connect the d-link router to my AEBS i cannot connect to the internet? Both Macbooks can see the base station but they cannot access the basestation. If i put the base station in bridge mode the light will go green and one can connect to the internet but obviously i want both to connect! I am unable to put the d-link router in bridge mode as my ISP does not support this as the router will only work on the PPPoA settings to retrieve the IP's etc from Plusnet. I have spent countless hours on the phone to apple and changing settings but to no success. I have spent more money to buy the d-link router as i had a netgear D111MP router previously but i read that it was a poor product to go with the AEBS. So the issue does not lie with the router?
If anyone can help i would appreciate it so much as this has become so frustrating!
Many thanks!!

Thanks Duanne, problem is that i have bought the netgear DM111P and the d-link 320T and found out that they cannot work for some reason. So i have spent £70 on both modems/routers plus the £119 on the AEBS. It's just a bit annoying when i have spent a lot of time and money on something which i was hoping would be as simple to set up as all the other apple products.
By the way i'm not having a go even though it sounds like it! The main thing on my mind is to get my AEBS working. Would it be possible to advise me on a router that will work well with my AEBS to solve this issue i am having? Also one that can use the PPPoA settings from my ISP? This would be greatly appreciated as i don't want to go out and buy another router and find out it doesn't work.
Also if i get a router that can do this what would be the setup of my AEBS?
Thank you for your time on this!

How to connect a MacBook Pro to internet with no cable, no Wifi, no ADSL?

I'll need to connect my MacBook Pro to internet in an environment without any of the above mentioned means.
1. What are the possibilities? GSM (mobile phone), a modem (express card?)?
2. Where can I find the information on how to proceed?
Thanks!

Hello,
You can use a mobile phone as a modem. This can be done manually by yourself or automatic by a commercial third party software:
Manual: you need the right scripts and connection settings and enter them manually in your network configurations. You find the right scripts and configuration hints here: http://www.taniwha.org.uk
Automatic: try the demo of launch2net at http://www.launch2net.com which features a powerful configuration assistant which already includes all necessary network settings and scripts.
The other option would be to use the XU 870 ExpressCard modem from Novatel at http://www.novatelwireless.com. If you are living in the USA and use Cingular, Apple has released a so called WWAN update with all settings. So you can use this ExpressCard in Cingular networks immediatly.
Thank you

Cannot connect to Mac 10.8.4 with Edge Inspect

I have Edge Inspect CC installed on my Computer, in Chrome and on my iPHone. I am signed in to Inspect according to the icon in the menu bar. My phone can see my Computer but cannot connect using the IP address. The Chrome Extension however says to "please start Edge Inspect" and I am not seeing the Edge icon in the Dock. So I think the thing is not activating... I seem to have the latest CC install, but I don't see a way to uninstall with the app manager and resinstall...
BTW, I don't know how or which type of port to open or find out if access is available on in Airport. I'm on a local network. The computer is connected by ethernet to the router, the phone is connected via WiFi to the network, and I've turned of NetBarrier... .

Netstat does not show anyone trying to use that port.
Here is the Console message in CHrome

HT1349 Why bluetooth cannot connect between MacBook Pro and iPhone 3? If I need how?

I'm trying to connect ipnone 3 and MACBook Pro through bluetooth for photo transfer...but unable to recongnise, please advise?

"I tried enabling Bluetooth on my MacBook Pro and iPhone, thinking I could file transfer some photographs."
This is not a feature of iphone. Never has been.
Other than tethering for internet, where provided by the carrier, you cannot connect to a computer/device/phone and do anything.
Bluetooth is for handsfree telephone devices/headsets, stereo speakers/headsets, some keyboards, some peer to peer apps from the app store and tethering where provided by the carrier.

Remove the security and see if you can connect. It may be the type of security (WPA, WEP, etc.) that your Mac isn't liking.

I cannot connected my APC40 and MPK49 controllers with Logic Pro X?

I recently bought Logic Pro X, AKAI MPK49 and APC40 but I just cannot connect them. I tried to link the controller assignment for the APC40 but everytime I log out of Logic Pro X it seems to mess the configuration up and I lose the commands. When I log back my APC40 doesnt work.
As for MPK49, I can use it in intstrument software but cannot seem to connect it as an external MIDI.
Can anyone help me mapped both products?
Thanks

X6 (via midi cable) plus good quality Audio/Midi interface (such as a Motu) = No issues with LPX or Mavericks....
In other words.. stop using USB to connect to Mac.... and you should be fine.
