Connect Macbook Pro 10.7.5 to internet via an aircard?

When I was using my desktop Mac I was able to use a Sprint aircard to connect to the internet. Now I have a Macbook Pro and have read that it's not aircard compatible. There's a Youtube video showing a man dissassembling his MB Pro and reconfiguring it just to use an aircard! I'm going to be traveling and want portability in going online. Also I'll be going to Europe and need to know my internet options!

You need two things: a mini-Displayport to HDMI adaptor, and a regular HDMI cable.
The mini-Displayport connector on the Macbook is the one you've described with the lightning bolt. That port on your Macbook is actually called Thunderbolt, but for this purpose it's acting as a mini-Displayport connector.
When you buy the Displayport adaptor, make sure you get one that supports audio. Not all do.
I'm sorry I don't know the best options available to you in Belize, but hopefully that information will help you approach a local electronics supplier.

Connect MacBook Pro 3,1 to hdmi tv via mini-display port

How do I connect my MacBook Pro 3,1 (2007) to an hdmi port on a LCD TV using the mini-display
port on my Mac? I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I have connected a mini-display to hdmi connector into an HDMI port on the TV. I've watched lots of youtube videos
on how to do this (apparently with newer Macs), but when I go to 'system preferences/displays', I have no options like 'extended TV'
or 'mirroring' and I have no resolution choices with a 'p' behind it. I've tried 'command-F1' as someone
suggested to make it 'mirror' and nothing happens.

Can't connect macbook pro to internet with airport extreme

Can't connect macbook pro to internet with airport extreme

If you have ethernet still on your MBP plug it in by ethernet and tell me if that works.
Tell me how the Airport is setup.. what broadband modem and router you have.
What OS on the laptop? Yosemite I guess.. since it is the most troublesome.
Did it work before whatever change was made? Has it worked in the past? When did it stop and what did you do that coincided with it stopping?
Upgrade to Yosemite??

Update: audio problems connecting macbook pro to insignia TV: resolved

There have been posts from users who have expressed frustration that they cannot get audio when they attempt to connect their macbook pro to an Insignia TV.
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=10830387
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2192206
Insignia customer service also attempts to state that the pre-April 2010 macbook pros cannot get audio output to the TV, because the units are designed to get the audio on the same HDMI and no alternative audio input is available on the TV.
http://community.insigniaproducts.com/t5/Televisions/Connecting-MacBook-Pro-to-T V/td-p/5564
For the Insignia models (from 2010 onwards and possible some from 2009 as well), there is a simple workaround that does not seem to be published elsewhere on the internet (as far as I can see):
Use the HDMI port 1 only (audio does not work with port 2, port 3 or port 4) to connect your macbook and you will receive 1080p video signal.
Use a mini stereo audio cable (example link below) and connect your macbook audio output to a designated green color coded audio port on the TV located right next to the VGA. You will receive full stereo audio.
Example link for mini stereo audio cable:

I recently acquired a new Insignia TV and had sound trouble. I went to Best Buy to inquire about the cable in the link above and the sales manager had doubts. He recommended a RCA cable with a male connection at both ends. The RCA jack is on the bottom edge of the TV display next to the VGA connection. The sound worked perfectly using the RCA cable from the headphone jack on the Mac. I connected the video with a HDMI adapter from the monitor mirroring port.

How to connect macbook pro to panasonic tv with hdmi cable

How to connect macbook pro to panasonic hd tv with hdmi cable

Hi m,
It depends which MPB you have and the inputs on the TV. The following assumes your TV has an HDMI input which will work with a computer.
This is if your MBP is from April 2010 or newer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241
First connect the adapter to the MBP and the HDMI cable from the adapter to the TV, then go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > select HDMI.
Or if your MBP is older than that and you have a Mini DisplayPort, you can use something like this: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CBLMDPHDMID/
If it's older than that, for video you need a DVI or mini DVI to HDMI or whatever input your TV has. For audio, you need a 3.5mm stereo mini plug to RCA or optical (Toslink), depending on what audio input your TV has.

How to connect MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50

Any experience with cables for connecting MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50 (or similar)?

It depend upon the model (age) of you MBP. If you have a Thunderbolt or minidisplay port, then you will need a minidisplay/HDMI adapter.
eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CBLMDPHDMI/
Or you can get an all in one:

If you have an older mac with a DVI port, you will need something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/DVI-HDMI-Cable-6ft-Male-Male/dp/B0002CZHN6
Note that audio is supported via HDMI for MBPs 2010 and later. Earlier ones require tapping the audio output port.
Ciao.

However, I still don't get a view of anything on the desktop except for the standard Apple swirl.
Can you drag windows to the other display?
In the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference, you can drag the display pictures to match the actual arrangement, drag the menu bar to the other display, or enable mirroring.

Having the exact same problem with connecting ML and Snow Leopard machines to a Windows 8.1 machine. Oddly enough, connecting and copying to/from works perfectly from a Mavericks machine, despite the problems reported about Mavericks regarding the exact opposite. An old thread, but did you find a solution?

I am asking the Moderator to move your post to the MacBook Pro forum, this is an iMac forum.
Good luck.

HT201180 What type of Fire Wire cable to use to connect MacBook Pro 2009 to tape-based Sony TRV720 camcorder

What type of Fire Wire cable to use to connect MacBook Pro 2009 to tape-based Sony TRV720 camcorder

USB is the slowest. Firewire is faster. eSata is the fastest (and will be superceded by Thunderbolt). The old Fire was 4 pin (Firewire 400 and is essentially obsolete), new is 9 pin, Firewire 800. All of the will transmit data, simply a different speeds.
For eSata connectivity, you MBP must have an express card slot (and the appropriate eSata connection card) and you external enclosure must have an eSata input. eSata cables will only transmit data, therefor it will require power by Firewire or USB cables.
Ciao.

Re: Not getting audio from TV when connecting MacBook Pro with all correct cables.

How do I get audio from the TV when connecting MacBook Pro with all the correct cables?

Hi Lynn,
If you're positive you have the correct cables, and positive they work, they must be plugged into an input on the TV made for that purpose, then that input must be selected on the TV's menu.

Trying to connect Macbook Pro and IMac...suggestions?

Trying to connect Macbook Pro and IMac with Apple Remote desktop or a cable. They do share a wifi router.
Thanks much!

not sure if you found an answer to this. I just got a mb pro and want it to connect to my imac (late 2009). I set up sharing on hte imac, file sharing and dvd/cd sharing. from the mbpro i simply went to finder>go>connect to server. I entered the name as on my imac (xxx.local) and immediately connected. This was a massive help to me as I had some software (aperture, office for mac) that were on drive and the new mbpro doesn't have a disk drive. through sharing I could access the disc drive remotely via my mbpro and load the software that way. worked beautifully on my wifi (which is apple airport extreme).
Hope this helps.

I am trying to hook my macbook pro to a sony bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. The same set up has worked with three other, though different televisions. Any thoughts?

I am trying to hook my MacBook Pro to a Sony Bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. I have used the same setup with three other TV's, each a different brand with no problem. Any ideas?

Is the TV set to take input from the HDMI connection?
On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection. Try clicking Detect Displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection. Check your connections.
If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen if the TV is not yet showing an image. Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p). Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown. You should see a picture at this point. I recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled.
