Connectinng Macbook Pro to TV set

I want to connect my MacBook Pro to my TV set. I'm using an HDMI cable with the appropriate connector.  I get a very good image but no sound from the TV set. I can use bluetooth to connect to the sound bar connected to my set, but we end up with a sound lag that is unbearable. Would you have a solution for this?

If your MBP is a 2009 model or earlier, you can tap the audio output port and to the RCA audio input ports on your TV.  This is just a representative example of what you should look for:

    Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

  • HT2397 How can I check what region my Macbook pro has been set at.

    How can I check what region my Macbook pro has been set at?

    It will have been set for the region in which it was purchased.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
    Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed. However see tis also:

    Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

    Thank you sig--it seems in talking to her on the phone that she was not giving me the info correctly and she couldn't get into her bank account, NOT the computer.  The computer is fine she was just frustrated with the bank's system and feeling alone with no help handy...
    I appreciate your reply.  Thank you.

  • I am about to buy a 13" MacBook Pro with 256 GB SSD drive.  I want a i am about to buy a MacBook Pro Windows partition set up.  How large should it be, and can I use XP Pro or does it need to be Win 7 or 8?

    I am about to buy a 13" MacBook Pro with 256 GB SSD.  I want a Windows partition set up.  What size should it be, and can I load Win XP Pro or does it need to be Win 7 or 8?

    You can use XP but it has to be in a Virtual Machine and OS X as the host instead of as a dual boot system with XP in its own partition. That is how I run Windows on my Mac, in a Virtual Machine.
    Take a look at VritualBox from Oracle. It's free and works very well.

  • How do I restore my macbook pro to factory setting

    How do I restore my macbook pro to factory setting

    Lion installs both itself and a Recovery HD. Booting the latter is how you reinstall Lion or fix things with Disk Utility. So, what you can do is this:
    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
    Now, this will completely erase the volume in which Lion is currently installed. When you then reinstall Lion it will be like coming fresh from the factory ready for a new user. I hope this is a working solution for your problem. If it is not, then I would encourage you to create a new topic more relevant to your needs which will solicit others to offer help. That isn't going to happen in someone else's already old topic. Had I not forgotten to stop email notifications from this topic, then I never would have been aware or your post.

  • Restoring Macbook Pro to factory setting

    Hi
    I follow the instruction of the Apple website for restoring my system into factory setting everything was fine until I needed to connect my macbook pro to wifi.
    the problem is under no circumstances  the machine could fine the wifi network.
    I have tried several wifi networks and still I cannot connect it to the network (main problem is either finding the network or Authentication - for 100% I am sure that I am using the right password because I have to connect to those networks manually everyday)

    Hi OGELTHORPE!
    Thank you for your advice but I don't know where i can get it and where to get it. Also I don't know also how to use it.
    Could you please keep on helping me?
    Regards!

  • MacBook Pro, how to set up duel monitors?

    I have a MacBook Pro from 2011 and I need to connect it to two monitors, how do I do that?

    Hi,
    still the best solution although pricey http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/dh2go/
    There are some USB-connected graphics expansions avaiable for Mac, but IMHO these are still not up to the task speedwise.

  • New MacBook Pro Can I set up from a time machine Back Up from my Macbook?

    I have a 3 month old Macbook (white) that I have been happy with so I've decided to upgrade to a Macbook Pro. Is there any disadvantage up transfering the data from a Time Machine Back Up since the systems are physically different?

    Is there any disadvantage up transfering the data from a Time Machine Back Up since the systems are physically different?
    Use the Migration Assistant to migrate from the backup instead of restoring the whole system; it will appear when the MacBook Pro is started up for the first time.

  • Mac Mini - MacBook Pro Retina Correct Set Up and Sync

    Hi - I am looking for some advice. I have a MBPR which is connected to a Thunderbolt display and an external HD. The MBPR has been my primary hard disk until now with a frequent back up to a Time Machine (and external disk for a large media file collection). I just purchased a Mac Mini with the view to making this the primary hard disk and using the MBPR for increasing mobile activity. I have two questions:
    1. What is the correct wiring configuration between the Mac Mini, MBPR, Thunderbolt display and external hard disk (using Lightning/Lightning to USB cables) to allow me to transfer data/use all devices?
    2. I have migrated all required data from the MBPR to the Mac Mini but how do I maintain a sync going forward? I only want to sync changes made to files/content on either the MBPR or the Mac Mini.
    Many thanks

    Since all the heavy lifting has been completed with the
    file transfers, I would consider doing all the syncing
    via wireless network if you have one.   If not, you can
    set up the Mini to create a wireless network and just
    connect the MBPR to it (the reverse would work as
    well).
    If for some reason you really want to do a wired connection,
    then you would have to boot one or the other into target disk
    mode and then connect them via TB or FW.
    For file syncing, there are a variety of apps out there to
    accomplish that.  You just need to set up file sharing
    on both Macs and select the folders to share.

  • Macbook Pro 13" 2010 Setting Wifi Standard

    Hi everyone,
    I have experienced difficulties in trying to get my MBP 2010 to work with a network at a hotel on vacation. I know that the workaround/fix is to set your Notebooks Wifi standard to a fixed standard 802.11b. Is there any way for me to do that on the MBP? I would appreciate any idea (third party software taken into consideration) or workaround there is.
    The problem is that I do not have access to the router and therefore cannot set a different standard for it, or fool around to check.
    I know that setting the standard will work since many Intel Wifi cards on Windows Notebooks have implemented this feature into their driver, which we used to get in the last time.
    Since I will be going to the same location again this year I would appreciate it if you could help me.
    Best regards

    The problem I have is pretty simple. Whenever I try to establish the connection it will not connect as though the password was spelled wrong. This however is not the case.
    The same thing happens in windows until the described measures are taken. So I guess I will just have to stick to ethernet for the time being.
    Thanks for your answer.

  • MacBook Pro stuck in "setting up your computer" with Mavericks install

    Anyoen else run into this? I've hard restarted several times and always get stuck in what looks to be like the third and last part of the computer setup (based on there being two paragraph icons on the computer icon and only room for a third.
    2007 MBP.
    Thanks.

    Did you figured something out ? Mine, of similar age, started behaving the same yesterday. Since I replaced most of the original devices, I suspect the onboard clock battery being depleted by now... ? I'm not even sure there such a battery in there.
