Connecting Mac Book to LCD Screen

Can you connect a macbook to an LG LCD computer screen instead of buying an apple cinema display? And if so where can i get the cords/cables to do so??

Yes, you can. I had my MB connected to an LG LCD via a VGA cable. You'll need an adapter to plug into your MB. Chances are, your MB should have a Mini-DVI port - if so, you'll need this adapter (assuming that your monitor supports VGA). http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9320G/A

  • Mac Book and LCD Projector

    Hi,
    When ever I connect my Mac Book to LCD projector, the display resolution on Mac Book automatically changed to a lower resolution, which resulting in a not so nice (blur) display both on Mac Book and Screen. I have tried on few LCD projectors older and new, but all of them gave me the same problem.
    Any idea or suggestion are appreciated.
    Thank you

    you can change the resolution back.. (in displays preferences)
    the desktop always looks blurry for some reason i get that on my plasma and the girlfriends lcd..
    i dont know why but when i play movies they are clear?? but for general using the comp i find it blurry as well.
    i would love to have a crisp pic after all the tvs are high deff..

  • Mac Book with Additional Screen

    I have mac book with external screen. I have attached cables to screen and have power. How do I get screen from mac book to show on larger screen?

    I wonder if you are asking how to get any image on your external screen at all (rather than how to make it mirror your MB). You did not say what connection you are using (VGA, HDMI or DVI), not whether you get any response from your external screen, but the first place to go is to the Displays panel in System Preferences. There, you should be able to see that the external display is recognized and you can select its resolution and position it in relation to your PB screen (or set it to "mirror") if wanted.

  • 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.

    i have recently been knocked over whilst carrying my mac book pro, the screen is now damaged and it wont charge at all... would apple replace it ?
    i have tried buying a new charger incase this was the problem, it wasnt, it just wont icharge/turn on at all, im just wondering would apple replace it, as  am a student and need a computer and this is my only one?

    Sorry no Apple will not replace it. What happened was an accident and the Apple warranty does not cover accidental damages.
    So it looks like you will need to buy a new computer or pay to have your Mac fixed.

    If you keep getting a 'red' message it means that the HDD is faulty and will have to be replaced.  You will have to format the new HDD in Disk Utility>Erase and then install the OSX and your data from Time Machine.

  • Connect Mac Book Pro to my TV

    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.

  • Connect mac book to vga projector

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Look for a minidisplay port to VGA cable.  The Thunderbolt port will act as a minidisplay port if required.

  • Trouble connecting Mac Book w\ Mt Lion to a projector.

    I am trying to hook a fairly new Mac Book Pro with Mt. Lion to an external DLP projector.
    I followed the manual, turned on the projector then connected to computer.
    The Mac recognizes the projector, blinks the computer display then the projector shows my background picture but nothing else, not even the dock. No cursor movement seen through projector.
    The only time I got a change was when I opened Keynote, went to preferences, went to Slideshow and hit 'Open Display Preferences'. In that case I get a window through the projector that is different thant the Display Preferences window shown on the screen. It is titled VGA display, show buttons for Resolution and a drop down for Rotation.
    I am trying to run a Powerpoint Program with Powerpoint for Mac. Please let me know if there are any additional things I need to do to make that work on the projector. Thanks to anyone who can help.
    Arden

    You have mirroring disabled in the display settings.
    Go into settings/display and select "arrange displays".  There you will see a selection for mirroring (select it).  You will also see a graphic to show the current relationship of the built-in display and the projector.
    If you want to keep them separate, just remember that the projector is off to the side of your built-in display.

  • How do I connect Mac Book Air with HD TV No Apple Tv available

    I am looking for a cable or connection from Mac Book Air to an HD TV. I ant to have the movies on the TV screen. But I don't want to buy an Apple TV.

    Hey vickitaunus,
    Thanks for the question. Your MacBook Air has a Thunderbolt port that can be used to connect Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cables. We have a few offerings in our store:

  • 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.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I think that your Mac detects your hard disk, but the problem is that your new hard disk doesn't contain any operating system, so your Mac doesn't find any bootable partition and you see a question mark.
    If your Mac came with DVDs, insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and hold the C key while your Mac is starting. Then, just install Mac OS X. If the hard disk isn't prepared to install Mac OS X, you will have to erase it using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". See > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
