Connecting my iMac 2.8GHz to Sony KDL-20S3000 LCD TV.

Can someone tell me what's the best Adaptor/cable to use, the Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter or the Apple Mini DVI to DVI Adapter? Do they both include the sound too? or is the VGA Adapter/Cable just picture? I would need an extension cable also, because my Sony 20" LCD TV is about 4 meters away. I've heard the DVI to HDMI cable does not work with Sony LCD's?
Thanks.

Nether of those include sound. Sound would have to be through an additional connection. Exactly which connection you use depends on what kind of picture that you want.

  • Macbook and Sony KDL-32EX401 LCD TV

    I bought a Sony KDL-32EX401 LCD TV and wanted to connect it throgh HDMI cable with my macbook, but it won´t work. After that I tried it with a Panasonic Plasma TV and it worked without problems. Can anyone tell me what to do that I can get my mac screen on my new Sony TV?

    hi krj027,
    I have initially had the same issue as you. The Sony Bravia KDL-32EX401 seemed not to recognize signals conveyed through mini display adapter- hdmi connection. I corrected this successfully by using a HDMI switch, this is the link on ebay:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MINI-HDMI-AUTO-SWITCH-BOX-3-1-out-NEW-SEALED-/190474606666 ?pt=UKConsumerElectronics_VideoSwitches_SM&hash=item2c592bd84a#ht_1618wt937
    I could not find an answer to how this made it work but I guess it is worth giving it a try. The connection I used was: macbook- mini display adapter- hdmi cable- hdmi switch- hdmi cable- Sony Bravia KDL-32EX401. I believe other hdmi switches other than in the link should work too.
    Good luck!

  • Having problems connecting a late 2011 Macbook Pro 2.2ghz i7 to a Sony KDL-32L5000 using a display miniport to DVI adapter (DVI to VGA cord). The TV is not detecting the macbook. Anyone have this problem?

    You really have to mess with the resoluton, espescially the refresh rate, as it varies from projector to projector, monitor to monitor. Even within the same brand! Because so many manufacturers are trying so many different things to become the next cool kid on the block, and the way the formats are being configured that's now part of the game.
    That's why so many professionally produced corporate shows hire a dedicated projectionist for the video presentations. Too many bugs in the honey.
    Refresh & sesolution are the first things to look at.
    Just so you know that colors in PowerPoint PC, and PowerPoint Mac, don't exactly match... go figure.
    I forgot to mention another thing, sometimes it's the projector that needs to be tweaked.

  • Which cable should use for Sony DV connect to iMac ?

    Which cable should use for Sony DV(IEEE 1394)connect to iMac ?

    If your iMac has just the FireWire 800 connection, you will need the 9 pin to 4 pin cable.
    http://www.cwol.com/firewire/firewire-800-1394b-cables.htm
    If your iMac has the FireWire 400 connection, you will need the 6 pin to 4 pin cable.

  • E4200 connect with Sony KDL-46EX701 at 2.4 Only

    My E4200 does not connect with my Sony KDL-46EX701 at 5 GHz.  The set sees the 5 GHz at medium strength or highter, but won't connect.  Password is correct and verified.  The Sony's UWA -BR100 adapter should work at 5 GHz, and it did work with my E3200 at 5GHz (unfortunately, it also caused the tv to recycle off and on whether connected at 2.4 or 5GHz).
     2.4 works fine with the E4200 and the Sony.
    Problem occurs with 1.0.0.1 firmware and 1.0.0.2 firmware.

    As my first post mentioned, I've been there and done that to no avail.
    I also tried a Netgear WNDR4000, with the same result.
    I've noticed that the 5 GHz reception on the Sony looks weak/unstable.  I think the problem is that Sony's UWA-BR100 stick has poor reception, particulary at 5 GHz.  Worked ok in winter and spring, but even indoors w/AC and good ventilation, my usable wireless range has always dropped significantly in summer when it's hot and humid.
    Anyway, I gave up.  I took and Linksys E3000 that I was going to return, installed TomatoUSB on it, set it up to be a wireless ethernet bridge, disabled the 2.4 GHz radio, and then wired it to the Sony.  Then I manually configured the IP settings on my Sony TV.  With the E3000 as a wireless bridge, the E4200 and the Sony connect perfectly at 5 GHz.  Expensive fix, unfortunatly.

  • Can anyone please help me connect my iMac to my TV?

    How can i connect my iMac OS X to my sony bavia TV?
    Its an iMac OS X version 10.5.8 The TV has an hdmi port but the iMac doesn't have an hdmi port. But the TV & the iMac both have a USB port.

    If your iMac has a MiniDisplay port then you need a MiniDisplay port to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable.

  • 24" iMac 2.8Ghz problem with wireless reconnection wake up

    Each time i turn on my new iMac or wake it up it refuses to auto reconnect to my Wireless network. Have to manually connect it up by typing name and key in despite this info being in preffered networks list.
    Only thing that came to mind is not showing the SSID, ie its invisible. That said 3 other iBooks in my house all have no issues... + tried my mothers MacBook, also perfect. Tried clearing Keychain access to WEP hex key. Removing network from 'Preffered network list' restarting and re-entering it...
    Any ideas please?

    I just installed my new 24" iMac 2.8Ghz and noticed the exactly same problem.
    I have three different wireless networks available to test:
    Airport network (Extreme+Express in WDS mode, SSID hidden, WPA2 Personal)
    Airport Network (Express, SSID visible, WPA Personal)
    D-Link 802.11b network (SSID visible, WEP 128)
    Most of the time I can connect to each network manually by selecting "Other.." from Airport menu but iMac does not auto reconnect to any of these networks when they are added to preferred networks list. Their network keys are succesfully stored to keychain. I have 90%-100% signal to all of these networks.
    My other Macs (MacBook Pro, iMac G4 20" and iBook) are able to connect and auto reconnect without any problems. All computers including this new iMac 24" has latest Mac OS X 10.4.10 and all software updates installed.
    Occasionally iMac also loses all (even SSID visible) networks from Airport menu. Also when this happens clicking the Aiport menu displays "spinning beach ball" for several seconds.
    First sign of wireless network trouble I noticed was when I first started the new iMac and tried to connect to Aiport network with the Setup Assistant at first boot. iMac did not detect any of these available networks even if I manually entered their SSIDs and encryption keys. This tells me that problem is not due to misconfiguration made after "fresh from factory"-boot.
    I am going to call Apple support today.

  • Just bought AppleTV and I'm getting 'No Signal' from Sony KDL TV

    So I got an AppleTV (new) for Christmas and I'm attempting to hook it up to my Sony KDL tv using this cable (http://www.amazon.com/Aurum-Flat-Ethernet-Certified-Available/dp/B004LTQS1G/ref= sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1362340327&sr=1-1&keywords=Aurum+Flat+Series+-+ High+Speed+90+Degree+%28Right+Angle%29+Flat+HDMI+Cable+with+Ethernet+%2825+FT%29)
    I'm getting a 'No Signal' screen from the Sony TV even though the TV recognizes there's something in the port.
    I've tried:
    Hard setting the AppleTV
    Switching HDMI ports
    and still nothing.
    What do I do?

    Check this guide:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1551?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Specifically:
    If your TV screen appears fuzzy or black (you see no video)
    Make sure the television you are using supports the Apple TV resolution requirements. Please see the Apple TV technical specifications.
    When you connect power, check to make sure the LED turns on. If the LED is not on, then verify with a known good power outlet or connect something else to the outlet you're using for Apple TV and make sure it works (such as a lamp or clock).
    Make sure you're using the correct video cables and that they are connected firmly to Apple TV and to your TV.
    Connect the HDMI cable directly into the Apple TV and your television, remove any third party devices or adapters.
    Make sure the input setting you've selected on your TV matches the input you have your video cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your TV for more information.
    Change the Apple TV resolution by pressing and holding the Menu and Up button for six seconds. The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals. Pressing the Selectbutton will immediately cycle to the next resolution.
    If you are connected via HDMI, try unplugging and replugging your HDMI cable.
    If HDMI isn't working on an Apple TV (1st generation), try component cables instead (and disconnect the HDMI cable temporarily). Read more about HDMI vs component video.

  • Slow connection speed imac but not macbook

    Slow connection speed on my imac 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8, I get download of 15mbs and upload of 9mbs but on my macbook pro 2.8ghz intel core i7 on the same desk I am getting 33mbs and 10mbs!
    Can anyone help me out on this, thanks in advance.

    The two key numbers here are: 1) Transmit Rate: 59 which is the current maximum bandwidth of the wireless connection in Mbps, and 2) The MCS Index: 6 which indicates that the iMac's connection to the BT Home Hub wireless is only using a single spatial steam. Forget the techo mumbo jumbo, your iMac is much more capable than that.
    You should expect a Transmit rate closer to 130 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz radio. At least this explains the poorer performance of the iMac. I would venture to say that if you temporarily connected the iMac to the BT using an Ethernet connection the iMac would equal or exceed the MacBook Pro's bandwidth performance.
    Has this always been an issue or something that has just recently started happening?

  • I keep losing my connection from iMac to keyboard and mouse any help please

    I keep losing connection between imac and my mouse and key board.I then have to power off and reboot to get connection can anyone help please!!!!

    Hi
    Update date for anyone who ha suffered with the problem of losing connection to an ext HDD.
    For me, the solution appears to have been achieved by making use of my old 802.11 b&g Airport Extreme base station and my new 802.11 n Airport Extreme Base Station.
    My network is now setup as follows:-
    Airport 802.11 n - 5GHz
    Macbook Black
    Apple TV
    Time Capsule
    Airport Express Base Station
    Airport 802.11 b&g - 2.4GHz
    Playstation 3
    Xbox 360 Elite
    Nintendo Wii
    iPhones
    iPod Touch
    Canon Wi-fi Printer
    iMac G5
    Sony VAIO TX2P
    I connect my ADSL line to both AEBS by ethernet, changed the settings and this has dramatically improved my connection reliability and speed when streaming movies and/or music.
    Through trial & error, I have also discovered that the other problems that I have are connected to situations when restart my Macbook after a shut down or restart and my iPhone is connected. This causes iTunes to start up but due to the restart, the ext HDD is not ready and therefore, ITunes opens its local library - I now just try to remember to use the Option key to choose the library. Finally, if the laptop just runs out of juice, the ext HDD doesn't have the chance to have a friendly handshake before losing its connection. When I restart, the connection does to the HDD fails and I have to restart AEBS
    I hope that helps anyone with similar problems or who wants to make the most of their fast 802.11n equipment by making is use of that kit that was maybe considered redundant - by creating a dual frequency network that maximizes speeds on 802.11 n whilst allowing use of the legacy 802.11 b&g devices.

  • How to connect my Imac to my HDTV

    I have a 2007 aluminum Imac and a 50 inch 1080p HDTV. is there anyway I could connect my Imac to the tv and control it via wireless mouse and keyboard... The rear connections on the tv are 3 hdmi, 2 component, s-video and AV.. Please let me know what is easiest, fastest, most reliable and produces the best picture.. Thanks so much!
    Also I might get the new 13 inch macbook pro, what would I need in order to connect that?

    I am not familiar with this new mini-DVI to HDMI cable. Sounds interesting. There is a Mac user reporting an issue in trying to use one of these in the Intel-based iMac display forum. He is using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and an HDMI to HDMI cable plugged into a HDMI port on his plasma TV and nothing is happening. But he is also reporting the same issue with mini-DVI to VGA adapter and an VGA to VGA cable plugged into the VGA port on his plasma TV. So the problem may not involve this mini-DVI to HDMI adapter.
    I use Apple's mini-DVI to DVI adapter connected to a Belkin DVI to HDMI cable plugged into the HDMI port on my LG LCD HDTV with great success with my new Early 2009 Mac mini. The Apple mini-DVI to DVI adapter came with my Mac mini and I bought the Belkin DVI to HDMI cable at the Apple Store when I bought the Mac mini. Both are also available from the Apple Store online for US$19 each.
    The MacBook Pro has a mini-DisplayPort. Apple also has a mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter for US$29. So that could also connect with the Belkin DVI to HDMI cable.
    I did Google for a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and there are a few 3rd party venders of this adapter as well.

    Thank you in advance

    What do you want to achieve? If the goal is to use the TV as an external monitor then get a mini display port to HDMI, DVI or VGA depending on the connections the TV has. You can find each adapter at the Apple Store either online or at a store close to you.

  • How do i connect my iMac to my tv to see movies with wire

    how do i connect my iMac to my tv to see movies with wire

    Hey rodskc10,
    Thanks for the question! Based on the iMac model and TV you have, you’ll need to pick up a compatible cable. There are a few options that can be found on the Apple Online Store:
    Mac Cables - Computer Audio & Video Adapters, Network Cables & More - Apple Store (U.S.)
    http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/cables#!
    For example, if you have the latest iMac and an HDTV, a mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable should do the job (you’ll connect this to the Thunderbolt port, which is backwards compatible with mini DisplayPort).
    For additional information, see this article:

  • How can I connect my iMac to a TV for playback of videos? My TV does not have HDMI.

    How can I connect my iMac to a TV for playback of videos? My TV does not have HDMI.

    You need to find out what video out you have on your iMac, and what kind of video inputs there are on your TV.
    It will help to know exactly what model iMac and exactly what make/model TV you have.
    Depending on the exact model iMac you have, it may have miniVGA, miniDVI, miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output.  Your TV may have composite, S-video, component, DVI, VGA or HDMI inputs.  Once you confirm what kind of ports your iMac and TV have, then we can probably suggest the correct cable or adapter so you can connect them to each other.
