Connecting to Sony 46'' ex700

I have a Macbook from late 2007 and I wanted to hook it up to my Sony Led Tv. I have the correct cables and it works fine on the Samsung TV, but the Sony tv doesn't seem to recognize the macbook. Any solutions? Thanks

Is there a difference in the screen size of the Sony? I have a similar problem in which my Black Macbook cannot handle the size of my Sony TV and as a result does not work.
The Macbook Pro on the other hand can handle this television. I'm sorry to say, but there might not be anything you can do about it.

  • How to connect a Sony Bravia TV to the internet through your Airport network

    Since it took me a lot of time to figure out how to connect my Sony Bravia TV to the internet through my Airport network, I better share how to do it. Hopefully saving others a lot of time.
    My 32EX600 Sony Bravia TV is Ethernet connected to my Mac Mini, which is part of my Airport network, together with another Mac, an Airport Extreme Base Station and an ADSL modem/router. Moreover, the Mac Mini is connected to the TV by HDMI.
    Whatever I tried in the TV’s Wired Network Set-up (Auto, or Manual with manual IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS IPs), I couldn’t get it right. Cable Connection and Local Access were mostly OK, Internet Access always Failed.
    The solution lies in the Sharing panel of the System Preferences of the Mac Mini. In the Internet Sharing item of that panel, you should choose to “share your internet connection from WiFi to computers (the TV in this case) using Ethernet“, and NOT (as I had chosen before and seemed so obvious) “share your internet connection from Airport to computers using Ethernet“. After that change, the Bravia Network Set-up, using the Wired and Auto options, flawlessly connected to the internet. No expensive (Sony) WiFi USB dongle needed.

    I have now had a detailed reply from Sony Europe and the way to do this is to:
    1.       Press Home on the TV Setup
    2.       Use the right and left arrow to select Setting.
    3.       Use the up and down to select Network, press Enter.
    4.       Select Network Setup.
    5.       Select Wireless setup.
    6.       Select Scan
    7.       Select your network
    8.       A new screen will appear asking for entering the security key.
    9.       Enter your WPA2 key.
    10.   Select Enter.
    11.   It will take you back to the same screen asking for entering the
    security key.
    12.   Press the right arrow.
    13.   Select Auto.
    14.   Press the right arrow.
    15.   Select Save and connect.
    These instructions are not the same as shown on the TV but they worked fine for me so they may help others with a similar problem.

  • How to connect my sony blue ray play to wifi via my airport utility?

    how to connect my sony blue ray play to wifi via my airport utility?

    The airport utility has nothing whatever to do with the sony bluray player.
    The airport utility is to setup wireless in the airport.. once you setup wireless then you use the sony setup for wireless in the player as per its manual.
    Please do keep the wireless names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    As well as pure alphanumeric passwords if you want to do this successfully.

  • How do connect my sony bravia tv as a monitor screen for mac pro

    How do I connect my Sony Bravia tv as a monitor for my MacBook Pro? I have an hdmi lead with an adapter to the computer and get a picture of factory setting cosmos with some of the folders of my desktop going off the side of the tv screen.

    If you have the right cable, and have set the right input on your Sony, then you need to adjust one thing.  Go to System Preferences>Displays>Set Mirroring.  I think you've got it set to Extended desktop, which means the Sony is just a HUGE extension of your Mac OSX desktop.
    That should fix your issue.

  • 2009 24-inch iMac 3.06GHz (EMC no. 2267).   I don't get any audio when connecting my Sony HD TV to my iMac via mini DisplayPort. Is there a fix or hardware upgrade?  I'm using a Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable w/ audio support.

    You can connect the audio from your iMac to your TV using a mini jack (like headphones plug) to rca (regular red and white audio connectors used on every TV,DVD, etc) cable.
    On your TV, you need to be able to set the audio for the HDMI input you will use to "analog" and connect the rca end of the cable to the analog inputs on your TV.

  • What cable do I need to connect my sony video camcorder to my macpro

    I need to purchase a firewire cable that will connect my Sony min tape camcorder to my Mac Pro laptop and I am not sure what to get.

    Look at your Sony camera or read the instructions for same.  It probably will be a mini USB connector.  If it is, you will need a mini USB/USB wire.
    Ciao.

  • Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv?

    Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv? I have a sony bravia 600 series and 700 series and a home theatre( sony 7100 series)

    The only way to stream directly to your TV would be if it is an AirPlay-enabled device.
    There are many AirPlay-enabled devices but I am not familiar with Sony's products. If yours do not specifically indicate AirPlay capability, then you need an AirPlay-enabled device such as an AppleTV connected to your Sony TV or Sony AVR.

  • Trying to connect my sony b/d to i/n and it asks what apple router i have by the designation e.g.MB053LLA which i can't find anywhere on my router

    i am trying to connect my sony b/d to internet and it asks what kinf of an aplle router i have and uses designations such as e.g. MB053LLA what is that for airport extreme?

    The MB053LL/A is the 2nd generation 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). This number is the base station's Product or Order number. The Model# for this base station is: A1143 and should be printed on a label on one of its sides.
    For future reference, an excellent utlity to help identify Apple hardware is Mactracker.

  • I am trying to connect my Sony DCR-TRV350 to iMovie so that I can make DVD's from family videos.  I am having problems getting the video camera connected.  Any advice on how to do this?

    What happens when, after you connect your cam, you go to File > Import Media?
    But before that, does your cam require you to export your video files upon USB connection? I have a JVC Everio HD and I have to "Export to Library" from the cam's menu first-thing. This was true even in prior iMovie versions.

  • HT5299 can i connect my sony smart TV via thunderbolt port for better resolution.

    can i connect my sony smart TV via thunderbolt port for better resolution.

    You can connect the TV via the Thunderbolt port. However if the result is "better resolution" would depend on what resolution you have now (I'm guessing you mean with the HDMI adapter?)
    I'm myself connecting the Mini Mac with a Thunderbolt->VGA adapter to my TV and get full 1920x1080 resolution.
    Have you checked your Display settings? Make sure mirroring is off, then check what resolutions you can get on the current connection.
    Please return with some more data.

  • Cant connect my Sony Bravia to my mac.

    I'm having trouble connecting my sony bravia tv (KDL-32BX300) to my mac. I have tried pretty much everything and have used the cable on other tv's with my mac anyone have any idea what the problem is? My mac can't find the tv at all.
    Any help would be great

    According this: https://docs.sony.com/release/specs/KDL32BX300_mksp.pdf
    That Tv is not a full HD TV, only 720p and as such may not be able to support the Mac's full resolution.
    You may need to lower the resolution on the Mac to get it to work. According to the specs, this is its maximum resolution: 1366 X 768p
    Depending on which adapter you are using may also be hat resolution you get. HDMI outputs at 1080p by default which your TV cannot support.

  • Connection of Sony PSP to iMac wirelessly

    Is it possible to connect a Sony PSP and my iMac provided that PSP can only be connected to any computer through Wi-Fi?
    Is the built-in Airport good enough for that? I don't use it, because my internet is working through Ethernet (I've got a cable modem), so I have no clue of its capabilities.
    Thanks for your ideas.
    Mike

    I don't have a PSP so I don't know for sure, but you can use your iMac's airport as a wifi hotspot. go to the wifi menu icon in the top right corner, when you turned airport on there will be an option "Create Network...", use that to create a wifi network then try connect to that using your PSP.
