Cant get full HD on my LED TV using a MBP 13 inch late 2011.

Hi!
I tryed to connect my MBP to a full HD LED TV and I cant get 1080p res. In fact, I tryed differents resolution but no one seems to be the right one.
A friend connect her MBP 13 inch mid 2009 (NVIDIA GeGorce 9400M) and has no problem. Both computers were connected to the LED TV thru a HDMI-Thunderbolt cable.
Is there any app that can resolve this? Does my computer supports full HD res?? Do I have to change the Graphic video card?
PLZ HELP!

Hello yainfarbman,
Thank you for all the information you provided about the issue.  If you look at the Technical Specifications of your MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011) (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP645), you can see that your computer should support the 1080p resolution:
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors
If you are using mirroring, your Mac will attempt to match the closest resolution between the primary (or built-in) and secondary displays.  You won't have to change any hardware on your computer, but you may need to set it up as an extended desktop for the 1080p resolution to be available.  You can find the steps here to set the resolution when using the TV under the section titled "Extended desktop":
How to use multiple displays with your Mac

I hope this article helps you take advantage of the 1080p resolution of your HD LED TV. 
Best,

  • Hi I just got my new Apple TV and I cant figure out how to connect it with My MacBook Air (11-inch, Late 2010- Processor  1.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) OSX Version 10.8

    Are you referring to mirroring or you just unable to set up homesharing.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

  • Cant get full volume

    After putting my phone back to restore settings ( only way i could get it off headphone setting) I cannot get full sound out of it it is showing it is on full volume but you can hardly hear it ring. It's a 3gs

    This is an interesting subject .... I recently got a Sansa Clip (great MP3 player for the price) but the volume at max was pitiful. A search on the internet showed that due to an EU directive (I think) the volume was capped.  I found instructions to reset the device and instead of Europe enter USA during the setup process. I did just that and now the volume is fine - much louder. So ... this may be a legal requirement imposed on us (and Nokia) by our elders and betters (HAH).
    Extract from another website;
    "Finally, your comment on European Union iPods. You are correct, all iPods (and all other makes of mp3 player) sold within the European Union (EU) countries have lower volume output than those sold in the rest of the world. This is because the EU has decided that we should be protected from ourselves."
    So iPods seem to be subject to this as well - from my knowledge it applies to any device capable of playing sound - and I suspect this includes mobile phones.
    The regulations have been introduced as listening to 85db for more than 40 hours a week, or 89db for more than 5 hours per week have been shown to have long term damaging effects on hearing.  Given the fact that on public transport I can regularly here the music (from so-called personal devices) of half a dozen young people round me, I wouldn't be surprised if half the population currently at teenage is deaf by the time they are 30.

  • Cant get open nat type for PS3, it use to be but wont go back

    im on Fios with the verizon router. I had the DMZ set to an ip with the PS3 also on it. the nat type was open and all was ok. I dont know how long its been this way (guessing not long because I have sucked at COD this week!) but I noticed im not at moderate. I checked the DMZ and the ip was still there. looked at PS3 and it was empty for some reason, so I put the ip back. ive restarted and tried other IPs andit will not go back to open. ive looked at youtube tutorials to be sure that im not missing anything but the vids seem tobe older because I have more options on the router settings than what the vids show, guess I have newer firmware. Any suggestions?

    actually, Open is what you want. you have a lot better preformance online when dealing with fast paced games like COD. you will really notice a difference. generally you just designate an IP in the DMZ settings of the router, then tell the PS3 to only use that IP, and thats it. just seems now on my end thats no longer the case and cant get it to go 

  • Cant get full screen...

    I am running a mac mini on an LG 42" plasma TV and have tried all the various screen resolutions. My problem is that I have videos which are 624x368 (close enough to accurate 16:9 widescreen video) and these display as a full frame image (no black bars) within the Quicktime viewer. However when i make it full screen Quicktime adds black bars to the top and bottom of the image, therefore squashing it. I assume it is doing this as the macmini thinks the LG TV is 4:3 and needs the black bars to look correct.
    The only 16:9 resolution available on the macmini appear to be 1024x720 but this looks wrong on my TV and you lose the dock and menu bar. I have also tried 1920x1080, but the resolution is too high for the television and the text becomes illegible. So it would seem that the macmini knows it is in the wrong aspect for a widescreen tv and is compensating by adding the black bars top and bottom. But although the resolution is not correct it is fine for computing, and if I could fill the screen with the video image it would then be in the correct aspect.
    So how can I get Quicktime to fill the screen and ignore the fact that the macmini thinks the tv is wrong?

    *Not sure if this will work. May depend on the model of the TV.*
    When I am watching a movie either from a DVD or from the 52" screen non plasma TV itself that has those black bars (top & bottom) I just use Zoom mode to get rid of the bars. My picture is not distorted in any way.
    On my 42" screen plasma TV, I use *Movie Theater* mode to get rid of the black bars. No picture distortion.
    Check your TV manual. Should be some instructions in there for what you are trying to do.

  • Cant get full screen photos

    Although my photos will appear full screen in slideshow, they won't otherwise. I have selected show full screen in Preferences and tried the icon for full-screen- but no good. I ger a black screen with a small photo in the centre. Is this simply because the original photos were of a small size and can't be stretched to full screen?
    I have today had to rebuild the i-photo library because of another problem (photos wouldn't load). That's now fixed. And, if it's relevant, most of the photos were transferred from my old i-book, although I have without problems imported photos from a camera to this machine and they behave in the same way - eg won't enlarge to full-screen.
    imac(intel)   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   i-photo 6.0.2

    look down at the bottom of the screen/window. There are several icons. a + to add albums, an "i" to get info, etc. The last one is a screen with arrows pointing in on the corners - try clicking that.
    Does that solve the problem?
    Its a great view, and I didn't even know it existed.
    Thanks!

  • How to get full path of a file uploaded using file control on a jsp ?

    Hi all...
    I have a jsp on which i am using a file element (input type="file") to upload files present on the physical file system.. Thats working fine.. But i want to retrieve the full path of the file uploaded for further computation.
    What are the possible ways which can give me the full path ?? (e.g. "D:\data\text\Output.txt" )
    Thanks all for attending the question..
    Regards
    Prasad

    Some browsers send the full path. Some do not.
    You can not affect this in any way shape or form.
    All you can count on receiving is a filename - no path information.
    So you will have to have some other way for the user to pass along this information.
    If they are uploading to a "remote web site" they could specify a folder to put the uploaded file in.
    You could classify it and put all image files in "images" and all script files in "scripts" etc etc by default, and let the user deal with it in their own HTML.
    Hope this helps,

  • Cant get airplay and remote to work again.

    So im currently having problems getting airplay to work and remote to connect to my itunes again. I have the iphone 5 and iv been using airplay and remote on it since i got it untill couple of days ago i cant seem to get the airplay icon to show up when my reciever is on and i cant get it to connect to my itunes using remote. I already try restoring the phone but i dont think that was the problem. I get get airplay to work from itunes though. Bascially all the hardwired things can access airplay but not the wireless stuff like my iphone 4 and 5.

Anyone having the same problem as be cause i dont know why is just stopped working all of a sudden when i didnt even change anything.
