HD video from MacBook to projector?

I have a MacBook (white) from late 2006. A while ago, I bought a Mini-DVI to Video Adapter to use my computer with my standard def. TV. Then, a couple months ago, I got a projector (Epson EX50), but when I use my adapter the quality is crappy. Would the quality be any better if I used the Component Video plug on the projecter with a Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter? I've used my friend's VGA adapter and there was HD resolutions available for the projector in the display preferences.

depending on your macbook model you may need a "converter", meritline.com/mini-hdmi-to-cvbs-converter-adapter---p-83103.aspx?source=fghdac& gclid=CO7J9NSU67QCFWGnPAodRBsAAw similar to this. Use a mini DVI to HDMI apple adaptor. if you have RGB connectors on your tv you want http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?seq=1&format=2&p_id=8125&CAWELAID= 1329456201&cagpspn=pla&gclid=CKW25beg67QCFaGPPAodRHAAfg

    You can sync photos and videos to your iPad via your computer's iTunes.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If the videos are films that you want to go into the Videos app then you first need to add them to your computer's iTunes library via File > Add To Library, and you can then use the Films/Movies tab to select and sync them

    What format are the videos in that you want to download, and have you got an app on your iPad that supports that format ?

    How to transfer video from macbook to ipad2

    Haryati-
    I found your question while researching another one on the same topic.  I found it hard to believe that iPad videos could not be transfered to a computer!
    I made a short video on my iPad 2.  It showed up in the Photos camera roll.
    Running iPhoto and connecting the iPad to my Mac Pro, I selected the iPad under DEVICES.  The video was at the end of the photos, I selected it and clicked on "Import Selected".  I then dragged the imported video to my desktop and it played in QuickTime Player when I double-clicked it.
    Then I tried it with Aperture.  The dragged copy appeared to play in QuickTime Player, but the screen was black.  However an Exported Version played correctly.

    how to transfer video from macbook pro to iphone 5S IOS 8, anyone?

    Hi hjmdsalleh,
    You typically use iTunes to sync your content to your iPhone.
    iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
    If you are having problems syncing some videos, they may not be in the correct format.
    iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
    Take care,

  • Streaming video from Macbook Pro to 46 inch LCD

    I am trying to stream video from my 13 inch Macbook Pro to my 46 inch Samsung LCD TV. I am using a HDMI cable to a DVI cable to attach the computer. When I play videos from iTunes, the picture looks great, however when I am streaming video from an internet site such as Netflix, the picture is not great (it almost looks pixilated). I am wondering, is this an issue with my computer (video card, etc) or does it have to do with my internet connection (I currently have the lower DSL connection)? Is there any other way to make the picture look better? Thanks for your help.

  • Transfer photos/videos from MacBook Pro to External Hard Drive (not iPhoto)

    I've read all the other threads regarding how to transfer photos from iPhoto to an external hard drive (i.e., format your EHD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled)), however, I do not believe my situation applies.
    In short, I download new photos/videos from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro twice - in two distinct methods.  The first method (and the one I favor) is to use the Preview Application to download photos to the MyPictures folder.  Once this is done, I revise the name of each photo so that I can tell not only the date but also the event.  Once this is done, I then also download the same photos to my iPhoto Library via iPhoto but I don't make any revisions to the file names (I don't know why I continue to download photos into my iPhoto Library since I don't like iPhoto, but I guess I feel like it is a "backup" of sorts).
    My problem now is that my internal hard drive is filling up and I must transfer some photos to an External Hard Drive (EHD).  I thought the simplest solution was to transfer my iPhoto Library since I don't really use it anyway and many people advise to simply format my EHD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  However, if I do that, my understanding is that I will not be able to then transfer the files to a PC, if I decide in the future to do so.  The solution, as suggested by others, was to then format my EHD as "ExFAT".  However, if I do that, my understanding is that iPhoto will not function properly.
    So my questions include the following:
    1.  Is there any harm in simply deleting my entire iPhoto Library from my internal hard drive to free up space since I believe I have been downloading all my pictures in a separate location anyway (MyPictures folder)?  Or will deleting my iPhoto Library somehow delete these other photos (even though they are not named similarly)?
    2.  If I decided that transferring my iPhoto Library to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled)-formatted EHD was the best solution, what would my options be if in the future I wanted to transfer the photos to a PC?  Is that option lost forever?  Or could I somehow transfer the photos from the EHD to the MacBook Pro, then re-format the EHD to ex-FAT, copy back the photos from the MacBook Pro to the ex-FAT-formatted EHD and then transfer the photos/videos to my PC?  Is there an alternative better solution?
    3.  Any other suggestions?
    Thank you

    1 - no - if you do not like or use iPhoto then yu have no need for the iPhoto library - it is sefl contained and deleting it will not affect anything except iPhoto
    2 - you can export photos form iPhoto to any format drive - it is only the iPhoto library that has drive format restrictions
    Reformatting a drive totally erases it so you can not simply change the format of a drive without removing everything on it
    3 - deciede what you want  - if you use iPhoto then it has no cross platform capability and nothing you do in iPhoto is directly of use on a PC - you have to export from iPhoto to a volume that a PC can read
    Since you do not like or use iPhoto and it will not do what you want I have no idea why you are messing with it at all

  • Import slideshow video from Macbook Air

    I am trying to import a slideshow created in iPhoto and saved on my desktop as a .m4v file. I can see it there but can find no way to transfer it to my iPhone 5S (IOS 8.0.2) or to my iPad (2) iOS 8.0.2. I have tried to connect Air drop but it doesn't seem to connect them and the file is much too large to email. Neither are synched through iTunes to my MacBook Air (Mavericks OS X 10.9.5).
    Any suggestions would really be appreciated!

  • Apple TV send video from MacBook or IPad 1??

    Have Macbook pro and iPad 1 receiving streaming internet shows.  Can I wireless to Samsung TV via  HDMI connected  Apple TV( 2nd gen). these non Apple TV movies/tv shows.
    Have all the latest software. Thanks..
    Rich

    You can send any video from the mac providing its in iTunes and in the correct format, you can't stream from a website.
    You can send any video from the iPad providing its in an AirPlay enabled app (i.e. Video app) and in a compatible format, you can also send video from an AirPlay enabled website.

  • Streaming HD video from MacBook/iPad to Apple TV?

    Hey, I'm thinking of buying an Apple TV and Airplay Express so I can stream videos from my Mac to my TV to watch. I'm just wondering what the quality is like, can I stream full HD content, like from a Blu Ray and the quality stay the same? Or does it buffer, pre-buffer or anything like that?
    Thanks

    forget blu-ray... blu-ray is a physical disc.
    any content you want to play on the appletv must be no greater than 720p.
    if you already have blu-ray content then stick with what you have already, you'll only be losing quality by doing what you suggested.

  • Streaming video from macbook pro to apple tv

    Hello, I understand that you can use airdisplay to stream the whole desktop view to the apple tv. However, I've found that its extremely laggy when I play videos that way. When I do, the video and sound is always off by a second. When I stream using my ipad or iphone to play videos that never happens and runs perfectly. Is there a way to just stream videos from sites like youtube for the mac like the iphone and ipad?

  • Program for/how can I Record video from MacBook Pro Retina camera on External HD?

    Ive been trying to do this for a long time, and have looked throughout this forum but cant find an answer.  All I want to do is be able to record video from the built in camera to my external harddrive.  Photobooth lets you record it but not to an external HD, and I cant find a way to do it with the new iMovie either.  There has to be a way or a progarm that lets you do something this simple, but I cant find it.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • How to move videos from Macbook to iPhone 4s?

    So, a while ago i accidentally deleted 2 videos from my iPhone 4s. Luckily, I was able to recover them by extracting them from the backup I had on my computer. I then added these 2 videos to my iTunes library and synced them with my iPhone so I could have those videos on my iPhone again. The problem is: I can't find them on my phone. When searching for a solution on the web, I was told to look for these videos on the iPod app or the Movies app. The videos aren't in the iPod app and I don't have a Movies on my phone. Are the videos on my phone? If so, how do I find them? I just want to have those videos on my camera roll again.

    The app is called Videos, and it's built into the phone. There's no way to delete it, although it can be disabled in Restrictions. You cannot put them on your Camera Roll again. In fact, you should not have any permanent content on your camera roll; you should copy it to your computer, archive and organize it, then move it back to the Photo and Video apps through itunes. Think of the camera roll as a digital camera (which is what it is). You wouldn't leave content permanently on your digital camera, and you shouldn't on your iPhone.

    You import videos into iPhoto the same was as you import photos in iPhoto. Videos just appear along with photos in iPhoto.
