Connect mac book pro to tv
What additional cables are neccessary in order to connect a macbook pro to a television?
Depends on exactly what model MacBook Pro you have and what kind of video inputs your TV has.
If yours has a miniDisplayPort video out, then you will need the Apple miniDisplayPort -> DVI adapter plus a DVI -> HDMI cable. Ditto if your MBP only has a Thunderbolt port.
Here is more information about the Apple adapters
If your TV only has composite or s-video inputs (not DVI or HDMI) then unfortunately you're out of luck. At least for any cheap solution.

How can i connect mac book pro to appel tv3
How can i connect mac book pro to appel tv3
To do what? It's not clear from the question.
If you want to play iTunes library content on the unit you need to enable Home Sharing on both, have them on the same network and then look for your iTunes library under the Computer icon - iTunes must be running of course.
Communications can be blocked by firewalls or security software sometimes.
To factory restore a black AppleTv2 or 3 you connect it to the computer running itunes with a USB to microUSB lead alone and start itunes.

Connecting mac book pro wirelessly with hp printer
I am unable to connect my new mac book pro with my hp G85xi wirelessly. I am able to connect utilizing my other pc computers (laptop and desktop; this is my first mac). Could anyone provide help with this?
Right now, it's impossible to diagnose your issue. First, I would want to see if your MBP works on another monitor. I'd bring it to an Apple Store, I'm sure they'd let you try. Bring your own cable, just in case that's the issue. If it works there, then you know it's your LG monitor.
Something is wrong with either your monitor or the cable. I don't think it's your MBP. -

Is there a way I could connect my mac book pro to my LCD TV? I could not find any adapters? I am sure there is a way. I would like to connect using my HDMI slot. Composite or component are fine.
Yes, and it is very easy assuming you have the right cable. The MacBook Pro is the best example, because it uses a standard DVI connection right out the side. What you need is a DVI to HDMI cable. However, there are three types - analog, digital, and integrated. You need digital, but your safest bet is to get integrated, since it supports both digital and analog. These cables are considered DVI-I, and can run you a lot in stores. I got one on Amazon from the vendor SF Planet for under $10 with shipping. Albeit not the highest quality solution, it still outputs fine in HD and is worth the money compared with the $60+ cables you find in electronics stores.

I've bought a mac book pro and am now trying to transfer some files from my old power mac to the mac book, yesterday all I did was turn file sharing on and use finder to connect to the mac book through network on the side bar.
Today I try the same thing and it says "The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again."
I'm not interested in a work around I can probably find one myself, what I would like to know is where can I check what the power mac thinks the IP address of the mac book is? I can see the server name and that's right and I know the sharing options are the same as yesterday, Mac OS suggests you check these things but as I didn't set them and it found them on its own, where are they?
I suspect that you are using DHCP to distribute ip addresses on you LAN and that the MBP has a different ip address today than it did yesterday. You can find the new ip in the Network pane of System Preferences on the MBP. I can't figure out how to find out what the client thinks the ip of the MBP is, though. ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist contains an entry for the last server connected to, for example, but it doesn't seem to include the ip. I deleted a bunch of obsolete files from ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost recently, though, which might have included this so you might look there.
P.S. Why does it also offer me the option to "Fix Alias" for a network item when all that does is open finder for this computers so I can point it at something on the hard drive?
No idea.

How do i connect mac book pro 5.5 to samsung lcd tv (series 5)?
i have a macbook pro 5.5 and tried to connect it to my samsung lcd tv series 5 - i have mini display port to hdmi cable, hdmi cable and phono to rga cable - i can see screen but cannot hear any sound... can anyone help?
thanksI assume you mean rca... what is happening is you're outputting digital sound via your hdmi. Phono or anything analog will not work if you're playing using hdml, because it plays both sound and sends video. what you should do is plug the hdmi cord from your mDP directly into the hd tv, then run whatever sound output the tv has to what i assume is a reciever for sound. Let the tv decode the audio to then output to your "phono" or "rga".

CONNECT MAC BOOK PRO 17'' TO TV VIA HDMI
I would like to know how to connect my MBP 17'' to my Panasonic plasma TV. I already have a Mini-Display cord to HDMI connected from my MBP to the TV, but no video or sound is present. Any help would be appreciated - thank you very much.
I don't know. I have used my MBPs with two different TVs and an external monitor without any difficulty. TVs were used with HDMI cables and adaptors for the Mini-DisplayPorts on the MBPs.
Perhaps you need to look in the manual for the TV to see what it suggests. -
would like to know what type wire to puchase that will connect Mac Book Pro Model A1286 to a TV that has HDMI port.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have got an Early 2011 MacBook Pro. This Mac comes with Thunderbolt, so you need a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable to connect the MacBook to the TV. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US -
Why does my mac book pro not show in 1080p on my flat screen
why does my mac book pro not show in 1080p on my flat screen. My mac bookpro always showed in 1080p on a Sanyo Plasma screen. Now when I connect mac book pro I get a blank screen. It will display in 720 but not 1080p. Also will show in 1080i but pictures flicker.
davenug,
given how much we currently know about your MacBook Pro, why do you think that we would know the reason? Please help us to help you by providing relevant information about your MacBook Pro — which model is it? Which version of OS X is installed on it? Is its battery fully charged? Is its AC charger working properly? &c. -
Hi Apple Team, my iphone can't share bluetooth files with my macbook pro. But other devices can share bluetooth files with my mac book pro. Please, kindly open up bluetooth to accept all connections from all devices. Now it difficult for me to share bluetooth files from my mac bookpro to my iphone, unless i attached it through email.
We need it to be acceptable to all devices.
Thank you!You can tell Apple directly at the link below.
