Connecting new TV to Macbook:  which adapter do I need?

I have a Macbook White Intel Core 2 Duo 2 Ghz.
I am trying to connect it to my new Sanyo DP19640 TV to stream Netflix. I cannot seem to determine which adapter I need.

For the best picture, you want to use the Apple mini-DVI to DVI adapter:

and then a DVI to HDMI cable, like this one:

That will take care of the video for you. You'll also need a separate cable for audio. I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but I'll get back to you!

  • Which adapter do I need to connect my new Mac Mini to my old Apple Cinema HD monitor?

    I have a perfectly good Apple Cinema HD monitor (model M8536), but it has an ADC connection, and my new Mac Mini isn't compatible with it. I've bought a new screen for the Mac Mini, but there are going to be times when I need to run two screens in parallel on the Mini. Can anyone tell me which adapter I need to do this? I've looked at the Apple DVI to ADC connector  (M8661LL), but I'm not sure this is what I need, and they're quite pricey, even second-hand on eBay, so I don't want to make a mistake!
    Thanks!

    Thanks, dwb ... unfortunately I don't think I'd get very much for my old display, it's so old (> 10 years)! But it still works perfectly, and I'm loathe to throw it away ... and there are going to be times when I need the two screens, so even though I've bought a new 27" Philips monitor, it would be good just to buy an adapter to hook up the old screen ...

  • Connecting new quad core macbook pro to external monitor

    How would one go about connecting the new MacBook Pro to an external HD monitor? "The Apple Mini-DVI to DVI adapter is designed for use with the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4." Does this mean it won't work with the quad core? I'd like to set up another monitor with my new 15 inch laptop and Screen Recycler isn't really doing the trick, tried with with a 24 inch imac and it was terrible quality. Please help, thanks.

    I have a mid year 2010 17" MBP and needed to do the same thing. 
    I got a mini-DVI port adaptor to HDMI, and connected it to my stereo - so I could watch on big flat screen TV and hear 5.1 sound via surround speakers, works great.  I down load missed episodes of castle and stuff and watch them all in HD.  (Via ITUNES).
    The catch, most mini port cables - do not carry both video and audio, even if HDMI and even if they say they do!  After buying the wrong cable at the local apple affiliate, I learned there are only two that did work.
    (even thought the packaging said they carried sound, the cable in fact was not recognized by the sound drivers, so no sound through Mac X (Snow Leopard).  I got the second cable form Moshi, and it worked instantly.
    NO problems since, at all.
    So does the port work with the quad duo core chip? Yes to I5, and yes to I7.  My IPAD has I5, and my MBP has I7. It's a dual core, virtual quad core, and it's works beautifully.

  • On my iphone 5 When I connect new lightning to 30 pin adapter to older sd card reader adapter (a1362) I get an error.  Isn't this supposed to work.

    I have older connectors so I wanted a single new adapter to connect my older adapters rather than buying several new ones.  But this one doesn't seem to work on iPhone 5. But does work on mini to upload photos from sd card.  Bummer.  Any solution tips.  Mike

    See if anything here helps.

  • New to MacBooks - which spec do I need?

    Hi all
    Many thanks in advance for any help.
    My current Asus laptop has died on me after 2 years (typically all my laptops last me 2 years). I have always had Windows laptops in the past.
    I have an iphone and an ipad which is why I'm now looking to Apple for my next laptop. However, I'm finding trying to decide which spec I need a nightmare.
    I'm looking at the new MacBook Pro retina model which has just come out.
    Requirements as follows:
    - On the whole, I have my laptop on all evening every evening and all day weekends.
    - I usually have at least 4-5 browser tabs open at a time (eg always have facebook and twitter open in the background, then may be actively looking at at least another 2 pages at once). I also usually keep my mailbox open.
    - I take a lot of large photos (18 megapixels a time) and use photo-editing software photoshop and lightroom (open the same time as all my browser windows)
    - I don’t do any video editing or serious gaming. I don’t do any programming or web development or anything. My main usage is internet browsing and photography.
    - I have a lot of music but currently signed up to itunes match which keeps it in the cloud.
    - My current laptop screen is 15 inches. I have an ipad for on-the-move, I don’t really take my laptop out and about (possibly just because it’s too bulky). I feel like it could be a bit of a shock going down to 13 inches and possibly not the best for the photography. However the 15 inch models are ridiculously expensive.
    It’s my understanding the newest OS will require quite a lot of memory.
    Any help gratefully received. I’d be looking at the new mackbook pro retina models which came out last week. Customising them is possible, but I’m leaning towards buying from John Lewis and getting 5 year warranty which would mean I’d have to stick to the pre-configured models.

    Having done photo editing with Photoshop on both the 13" and 15" I prefer the 15" for working but the 13" for traveling. Since I use an external display at work and at my home office the 13" works out fine. But if I had to use the 13" for all my photo editing I'd quickly sell it! The extra screen real estate is that important. I've seen nothing that suggests 10.10 will require lots more memory and the fact that the computer has an SSD mitigates against the need for lots of extra RAM. I do know that 10.9 isn't very happy with just 4GB and very unhappy with 2GB - when running on a computer with a mechanical drive but with an SSD 4GB is more than enough and 2GB is not bad. Given the extra oomph of an SSD, there's no reason to think that 8GB won't be enough for the next 4-5 years. Oglethorpe is also correct that you'll want to choose the largest drive you can afford.

    I just purchased an Acer P235Hbmid Black 23" 5ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 50000:1(ACM) Built-in Speakers, with Analog RGB, Digital Connectors D-Sub, DVI, HDMI, D-Sub, DVI, HDMI cables included. *I have a brand new MacBook Pro*. Which adapter do I need to get, in order to connect with the BEST resolution for my new monitor? Since the monitor comes with all of the above cables, I have many options. I see that apple has a Mini-Display to DVI adapter, but Belkin has an HDMI adapter. I am getting the monitor in two days, so I'd like to order the best, correct connection, before it arrives. Thanks for the help!

    If you just bought the external Thunderbolt Display, you may be able to return it for the LED Display.

  • Which adapter is right ?

    Hello,
    I just received my new iMac 2,8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7.
    I still have a 22" monitor with DVI connections that I want to use with it. Before buying the wrong adapter, I thought I better check with the Pro's here.
    Which adapter do I need to get the best results ?
    Sorry if this has been asked over and over and over again - I'm just too lazy to search myself. Hope you forgive me and answer my question.
    This forum rocks, btw !

    A dual-link DVI cable is only needed for resolutions higher than 1920x1200, on the external screen. So if your external is 1920x1200 or lower, normal DVI is sufficient.

  • Connecting Canon MG5350 to MacBook with WLAN

    Hello!
    I just bought a Canon MG5350 and I tried to connect it with my MacBook which runs in iOS 10.6.8, using the wireless network. During the last step of the instalation, I am getting the message: no printer is dectetable. I checked the WLAN settings on both the printer and the Mac and they share the same Gateway and Subnet Mask. On top of that the printer is perfectly dectable from the System Preferences Menu (Print&Fax). I cannot understand what I am doing wrong.
    Any suggestions?
    I am really thankful in advance!
    PS: I will buy a USB cable tomorrow (I just realized that I have no USB cables at home anymore) and try to connect it like that. It is a pity though not to use the wireless connection.

    You need to get a 9-pin to 4-pin FireWire cable.

    Unfortunately there is little you can do, Lion will not run on your machine.
    However it is possible to access some features of iClould while staying with SL. If you go to iCloud you will see the web interface for the cloud.
    Some but not all functionality is here. Check it out and see if it meets your needs.

  • I recently purchased a MacBook Pro with Retina.  Which adapter do I purchase to connect it to a Samsung TV for the best quality?

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro with Retina.  Which adapter do I purchase to connect it to a Samsung TV for the best quality? Thanks.

    Doesn't matter. All HDMI cables should work, some are considered better than others, I had a $5 ebay cable work just as good as a $20 monster HDMI cable.

  • Connecting a 15.4" MacBook Pro to a Vizio HDTV monitor - which adapter?

    Hi, I have one of the new MacBook Pro models, 15.4", 2.4 GHz, 4 GB Ram, 250 GB hard drive, and an NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT with 256 MB VRAM.

    Thanks!

    Suggest that you do a forum search. There are several postings listing items that you need to connect your MBP to a TV. Also, check the manual that came w/your MBP.
