Cannot play audio from macbook pro 2009 to tv using hdmi with adapter

MacBook Pro 2009. I cannot get audio from my my macbook pro to tv using an hdmi adapter

That is because the 2009 MBP does not support audio via the minidisplay port.  You will have to tap the audio output port for audio and use the RCA audio input connections on the TV.

  • Since Yosemity and new iTunes i cannot play movies on macbook pro (missing HDCP ability)? Why is that?

    Since Yosemity and new iTunes i cannot play movies on macbook pro (missing HDCP ability)? Why is that?
    regards Peter

    Yesterday I had Apple phone support, they could partly solve the problem. At least I can use my Mac again to view movies but the problem of less resolution in itunes only is still there. My brother has the same macbook, same yosemity and same itunes. It works. Obviously it has to do with other SW on the Mac. Yesterday we removed Displaylink SW (i believe that was the name of the SW?) from my Mac. Perhaps it is not yet compatible with yosemity?

    I cannot print wirelessly from Macbook Pro: this is the error message I receive /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpII failed. Can anyone help. I have been able to print on this printer for months, then yesturday out of the blue I get this error.

    "/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpII failed"
    I also saw this same error message above the Print Queue, ever since allowing the Epson Printer Software Update (August 2013) to install. After this update installed, I was able to print a basic Test Page from the Print Queue, but when printing from any application I only got "Looking for printer..." displayed above the Print Queue, which would stall and never print.
    2008 MacBook, 10.7.5. It used to print to my Epson WorkForce 845 wirelessly without problems, before this software update was installed.
    Changing the driver from "Epson WorkForce 845" to "Epson WorkForce 600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3" was a workaround that did allow me to print, but I wasn't satisfied with that.
    Found this better solution in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5233149?start=0&tstart=0
    (with thanks to Yuengdog1983):
    This issue may be a result of the Computer Name being left empty:
    Open System Preferences and choose Sharing.
    Enter a name for your computer.
    Even without restarting the MacBook, I was able to now change back to using the Epson WorkForce 845 driver v9.0 successfully. I never would have guessed that a Computer Name is required in order to print!

    The latest version of Migration Assistant is version 5 and should have been installed in you Utilities folder when you upgraded to version 10.8. Use the 10.8 version machine to migrate to and you should have no problems.

  • Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook Pro OSX Mavericks

    I cannot get my new MacBook Pro (using OSX Mavericks) to communicate with my HP Officejet4500 Wireless.  I can print when I use a connecting USB cable, but cannot print wirelessly.  All of my Mac software updates are current as of 4/20/2014, which included an update for HP printers.  When I used the disk to install the printer software, it did not have a screen for entering my wireless router ID or passcode.  In the Mac System Preferences for Print and Scan, my Officejet 4500 G510n-z is listed, but to no avail.  What do I have to do to get my Mac to print wirelessly?  Thanks.

    OK, thanks for that.  It may indeed may be the problem, but let's check a couple of things first.
    1. On the printer: Setup > Network > Print Network Test.  Is the printer connected to the network?  If it is not:
         a. In the Network menu, Restore Defaults
         b. In the same Network menu, run the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your network.
    2. On your Mac, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
         Restart your Mac.
    3. Reset the printing system:
    - Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
    - Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Cannot Update IPhone from MacBook Pro

    I had to restore the system software on my MacBook Pro the other day, and now MBP finds the 3G, but tells me that "ITunes cannot read the contents of the IPhone", and to go to the summary tab in ITunes preferences to restore the software on the IPhone. When I click the Restore button, I get another message that says "Software for this IPhone is not currently available. Make sure you have the latest version of ITunes and try again". So, I dutifully click on "Check for Updates" in ITunes, and it tells me I have the current version (8.2). I also have a 3G S (32gb) and the problem manifests differently with that IPhone--it doesn't see/find it when I plug it into MBP. What can I do to resolve both (related) issues? Thanks.

  • HT4072 Can I play audio from movies in the DVD player using iTunes or Airplay?

    I would like to play audio from movies in the MacBook DVD player using iTunes or Airplay? Is this possible?

    Is it important that the music come from a video, or are you just looking to listen to music in the background, while doing something else.  If the later, you can certainly play music from the Music App, Pandora, or iHeart Radio, etc., and with the music playing, tap your home button to go to your home page and open anything else you want and the music will continue.
    I don't have any videos to try out right now, but you try the same thing out and if the music continues, it works.  If it doesn't, it doesn't.

  • Apple 20" CD connects fine to MacBook Pro 2009 via DVI to Mini displayport (adapter) but not to Radeon 5770 (either MDP ports) on MacPro 2008?! Have Eizo CG223 on DVI to 5770. Any ideas?

    Here's the setup:
    Eizo Coloredge CG223 DVI to DVI on MacPro 5770 interface (ACD works fine on this too, naturally).
    Apple Cinema Display 20" have the DVI connector. I have a Mini Displayport to DVI adapter on this, into one of the 5770's MDPs, neither of which seem to work.
    Plug the same ACD via DVI (with DVI to MDP adpater) into my MacBook Pro 2009 MDP and it works fine as a second screen.
    So what's up with the 5770 MDPs? I've seen online that the card should at least support two displays, either MDPs x2 or MDP and DVI. I've seen there may be an issue with three, not two.
    Any ideas please?
    Thanks,

    Striped down to bare inputs - monitors and keyboard/mouse. Works! Dimerising must have interfered with it. Phew!

  • Is it possible to play audio from video in the background while using a different app?

    I would like to be ale to play audio from a video file in videos (or av player hd) in the background whie using a diffent app in my iPad 2. (ie watching a video while taking notes on the content or highlighting an e-textbook).
    Is this possible? Either through the original iPad functionality or by downloading a separate app?
    Thanks,

  • Best way to play movies from MacBook Pro to HDTV

    I have some hi-res 1080p movies on my MacBook Pro which currently runs Lion 10.7.4.  Planning on upgrading to Mountain Lion but my hardware will not support Airplay Mirorring (it's a mid 2009).  I will soon be buying an iPad 3rd generation also which of course does do Airplay to an HDTV.  Somehow can I get the material off the MacBook Pro directly to the HDTV though maybe the new iPad or even an Apple TV?  I will be running the audio through an external stereo receiver/speakers, so just concerned with the video.  Also had read that my model of MacBook Pro only supports video from the minidisplay port to HDMI.
    Best solutions?  I may get an Apple Tv if necessary or anything within reasonable cost including any programs for the Mac or iPad.
    Oh NOTE:  My movies are just avi or mkv files and NOT in iTunes.

    I believe you can do Back up to Disc and burn them as Data Discs. (Be sure to check your burning preferences first.) You won't be able to view them from the burned discs, but you can use them to restore to your library. Burning the movie itself....I doubt you can get it to fit on one CD. Another option would be to invest in an external drive. I hear they're pretty affordable.

    i'm currently downloading a blue ray movie...i know mac's cannot play blue ray, although it is a .m2ts file, and i hear you can play those files with VLC
    because my laptop is 15', the movie aspect ratio is later than the screen itself
    i'm using an hdmi to dvi cable to link my computer to my hdtv...
    how would be the best way of playing back this video, retrieving the highest video quality?
    i feel if i make it full screen on my laptop and mirror the exact screen to my tv its not going to be full 1080p, althought if i make it dual monitor mode and then play it from the tv's monitor it will be able to be full rez?
    any suggestions would be great
    thanks

    hello,
    thanks for the reply,
    i go to film school, and it is someone's original content he is sharing.
    that's nice to hear that it will push out the 1080p.
    i suppose when i'm in extended desktop mode i just have to set up the menu>video>full screen from the tv and not the laptop monitor?
    also i have tried to just close the laptop lid and move my wireless mouse around but my hdtv's screen remained black
    one last question if that's alright! - have you heard anything on VLC playing m2ts files? i heard from somewhere it can, but havent found much info on it
    thanks so much

  • Wireless adaptor to amp to play music from Macbook Pro?

    Hey
    I hope I am not repeating lots of posts on this topic.
    I am looking to stream music from my Macbook Pro to my amp in the living room. I am aware that airport express does this but is there a cheaper option? Maybe something that justs plugs into the amp and does not act as a router etc..
    If such a device exists then i could attatch them to the other amps in my house, woo hoo wireless music! Thats my dream anyhow (looks like I will have to buy several expresses at the mo).
    Cheers
    Mark

    Mark,
    there are other wireless audio bridges out there, the Roku M1000 comes to mind, another is the SqueezeBox. I think Phillips may make one too, but I'm not sure on Mac compatability for that one.
    The catch is... it depends if you wish to stream tracks purchased from the iTMS as none of these products can play the protected files - the usual DRM workaround applies. (I am not condoning the practice) Obviously, the Airport Express can stream these files.
    You mention cost, I don't know the price of the other units, but I think you may find the added functionality of the express - USB print server and self-contained portable wireless base station make it a fair price. The limitations being,
    1) You may well never instigate any of the other functionality.
    2) No pretty display next to your stereo to enable you to browse/select/control audio playback locally. (There is the Keyspan Express Remote)
    Bottom line. Hassle Apple to licence out FairPlay

  • Cannot stream music from MacBook Pro to Airport Express

    Hi, I have an Airport Express. But with both my computer (imac and MacBook Pro) if I try playing music from itunes, it cannot connect. An Airplay pop up window opens and trying connection to airport for ever...
    On the other hand, it works when streaming music from iphones or ipads.
    I have tried changing settings...but it never works....
    Can anyone help please
    thanks

    Hi thanks for your answer.
    I am afraid it still does not work.
    Now, when I select the Airport, it tries connecting for a long time "connecting to "Airport Name"...but never connects.

  • How do I get audio from MacBook Pro to Samsung monitor?

    MacBook Pro - I've just bought an S27b550V Samsung monitor to connect to the MacBook Pro but even with hdmi adaptor and usb connection can only get video. I set sound control to recognise the usb output but still nothing but a faint muted sound from the monitor. How do I get audio to work?

    I don't think that a USB connection is going to do anything - as you've a Mac with a Mini DisplayPort that, I don't believe, will carry audio over HDMI, you'd need to use the 3.5-mm analog/optical combo jack optical jack to get video to your Samsung monitor.
