Hooking up mac book pro to samsung tV

I  am trying tohook up a Mac book Pro purchased in Sept to a Smssung LCD TV purchased in Sept. I fet the computer display onthe TV but no sound. I have no soundcables but appatently the newer Prod do not need them? The one lead goes from the Mac to the HDMI 1.

These computers supply multichannel audio (up to 8 channels) and video signals over Mini DisplayPort:
MacBook (Mid 2010) and later
MacBook Air (Late 2010) and later
MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) and later
Mac mini (Mid 2010) and later
iMac (Late 2009) and later
Mac Pro (Mid 2010)
Check the System Prefrences > Sound and determine what is being used as the output.

  • HOW CAN I HOOK MY MAC BOOK PRO 2012 HDMI TO MY LG T.V

    im trying to watch a movie to my lg t.v from my macbook pro 2012 & im trying to the hdmi

    I do not know the iWire adapter, but I use an inexpensive ($3) DVI to HDMI adapter from Monoprice, along with a regular HDMI cable:

    Be aware that this will only transfer video. You Macbook Pro cannot combine audio through DVI to HDMI. You will need to listen to the audio through the Mac speakers, or attach speakers or a sound system to the Mac earphone jack, or determine if your TV has the ability to accept external sound from the Mac while showing video through HDMI (few can).

  • I am trying to connect my laptop to my TV. The computer flashes blue after I plug the cable in but the TV says there is no signal. I have a Mac Book Pro 2009 and a Samsung 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 450 Series 720p LCD HDTV (2010 model)

    Hello,
    I am trying to connect my laptop to my TV. The computer flashes blue after I plug the cable in but the TV says there is no signal.
    I have a Mac Book Pro 2009 and a Samsung 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 450 Series 720p LCD HDTV (2010 model).
    I am using a mini display port to VGA adapter. I have sucessfully hooked up boh devices but it stopped working after a handful of times. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the problem or is my cable broken?

    Some things you can try.

  • How can I steam from my early 2011 15-inch Mac Book Pro to my 2007 Samsung TV?

    I have an early 2011, 15-inch Mac Book Pro Software  OS X 10.9.5 (13F34). It does not have an HDMI port. I have a Samsung TV I bought in 2007 (Model LN-4061F). How can I stream from laptop to my TV? My laptop does not have an HDMI port. I've read I can buy an adapter, but I'm not sure what to buy.
    -Does Apple make them?
    -Are knockoff adapters "safe" to use with my laptop, and are they reliable/have a good quality connection?
    -How much do they cost (I've seen cheap ones on Amazon)?
    -What kind should I buy?
    -Will my laptop stream in HD? 
    I'm new to the community, so hoping someone can advise me how to do this. We also have a Roku, but I'm looking to stream DVDs and directly from TV network websites. 
    Thanks for your help!

    You will have to use the  minidisplay port to connect to the TV.  Assuming that the TV has an HDMI port, you will need a cable such as this:

    With this, you eliminate the need for an adapter.
    Ciao.

  • I have a Late 2011 Mac Book Pro 17" and I want to install a Samsung 840 EV 2.5 1TB.  What accessories if any do I need?

    I have a Late 2011 Mac Book Pro 17" and I want to install a Samsung 840 EV 2.5 1TB.  What accessories if any do I need? I want to place my order once with all that is needed to install this equipment. 

    No you don't. All currently available commercial hard drives and SSDs have the same SATA connectors in the exact same place.
    As to being plug and play that is up to interpretation. The drive will plug into the cable but then you have to partition and format the drive for the Mac OS X operating system and then install OS X on it or restore from a Time Machine backup or Clone from your original drive to the SSD. Those things aren't necessarily Plug & Play. Not hard, just time consuming. Some more than the others.

  • Hooking old PC printer to new Mac Book Pro

    I just got a new Mac Book Pro for college and my dad's work partner gave him a printer he got for free through Ford motor Co. a few years ago. Is there a way I can hook the old printer from "Hewlett Packard" to my new laptop?

    Hi, Grace. If the printer can only be connected via a parallel printer cable that has huge 25-pin connectors on both ends, you can't use it. If it has a USB port and cable, you can physically connect it, and then you'll need to find and install the appropriate software driver for it, if one exists for the Mac.
    What is HP's model number for the printer?

  • Is there anyway I can connect my Mac Book Pro wirelessly to my samsung ES8000

    Is there anyway I can connect my Mac Book Pro wirelessly to my samsung ES8000?

    IOS?
    Do you mean OSX (or is there another device you have yet to mention)?
    If it is OSX connect the phone via Bluetooth and use the Browse Device command to access files. I have no idea whether this will work but it won't break anything.

  • Mac Book Pro 13" Early 2011 Samsung SSD PinWheel

    Mac Book Pro 13" Early 2011 Samsung SSD PinWheel
    16GB DDR3 Apple MacBook Approved RAM.
    I upgraded to a 250GB Samsung SSD 840 EVO drive, install was fine using IOS 10.6.8 but using Logic Express PinWheel of death
    would appear loading tunes, taking ages to load with 16GB RAM? and loading tracks from a Firewire Drive which uses less processor.
    I goto Samsung and get the latest Firmware and create an image and burn it to CD and run it from a Command line. The Pin Wheel continues,
    I upgrade to Maverick in an attempt Apple would know about Samsung's top of the range SSD drives? perhaps not. I have even more issues since the upgrade,
    Itunes unresponsive, missing Apps like Ableton Live 8, more loading Pin Wheel issues.

  • Problem connecting Samsung Galaxy SII to Mac book Pro

    Hello. I have issue with connecting Samsung Galaxy SII to Mac book Pro Late 2011! When i connect phone to Mac via usb, phone makes sound but nothing happens. Even if i open Transfet tool. Problem is not in Phone or wire as on another computers like my MinMac it works fine. Also on Windows side all is ok. Mac book Pro USB ports also are ok as it finds and open my iPhone5! Is there possibility that there is some faults with USB drivers in Mac book Pro! How can i reset or restart usb drivers if fault is there! What else you can suggest to try?
    Thanks!
    Best regards,

    i did went to Samsung Support: here is the result of it:
    Isabella: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
    Visitor: Hello Isabella. How are you today ?
    Isabella: I am fine. Thank you for asking.
    Isabella: Please proceed with the query.
    Visitor: I hope you can help me fix connecting issue for Galaxy S II with my Mac Book Pro late 2011. It was working till some day and now it does not recognise it when i connect phone via USB. I should note that on Windows on same machine or on my Mini Mac it works fine. so it can't be problem in wire or usb ports. Could not find answer in Apple forums and in forums they did suggest to turn here! I hope you can help me!
    Isabella: I understand that you are finding difficulties connecting device to Mac. Am I correct?
    Visitor: yes. but only to one specific Mac. as to others it connects without a problem.
    Isabella: Thank you for the details.
    Visitor: i think problem is in driver only i can't find how to manually remove from Mac
    Isabella: May I know the model number of your phone? To know the model number of the phone, please tap on Home>> Applications>> Settings>> About phone.
    Visitor: GT-I9100
    Isabella: Thank you for the model number.
    Isabella: However as you are able to connect the device to windows and Mini Mac then there is no issue with the device. This seems to be an issue with the Mac.
    Isabella: However we in Samsung US do not have the instructions on uninstalling drivers on Mac.
    Isabella: I request you to contact apple for support related to Mac.
    Visitor: Yess it is probably issue with drivers on that particular Mac. Might be you can guide me to location where Kies or phone driver is stored on mac? I then will try to manually delete is from system or replace from another machine
    Isabella: The model number you have provided is an international model and we do not have any information on the device you are referring to.
    Isabella: I would have surely provided you with the information if we had the information available with us.
    Visitor: If you don't know might be you could escalate to some higher level ?
    Isabella: It was a pleasure assisting you. Thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. If you have a minute, please click on the blue “X close” button to receive a transcript of your chat and fill out a brief survey to help us serve you better. Have a wonderful day!
    Chat session has been terminated by the Samsung Agent.
    So i was terminated and left without answer. But i did not expect anything else from Samsung Support..
    So might be someone of you know where drivers are located? i could try to copy them from one machine to another manualy!!!

  • Basics on transferring all my files from imac 10.5.8 to mac book pro 10.6

    Hello,
    I recently bought a mac book pro and when I was at the apple store the explanations they gave me to transfer all my files, contacts, calendars, photos, .png files, seemed so simple - hook up the ethernet cable and I would be walked through it but NOTHING HAPPENED. I apologize if you have given these basic instructions over and over, but I have been searching for hours and cannot find anything giving me the basic step by step instructions to do this.
    I'm confused, too, on if while I'm working on files in one computer if I can transfer to the next and continue the work. I thought this was going to be very easy, but I feel as if I'm in way over my head. Please help!!

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    There are several ways to do this, but you may have bypassed the easiest one: when you first booted up your shiny new Mac, +Setup Assistant+ should have asked if you already had a Mac, and given you the opportunity to transfer your data either directly from it, or from it's Time Machine backups.
    See #19 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum, for details and a link to a video demo.
    Once you've gone past the "Do you already own a Mac" screen, though, you can't easily start over.
    But if you want to, and haven't added new data you need to keep, use the *Erase, Install, & Migrate* section of the Glenn Carter - Restoring Your Entire System / Time Machine *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    Where it says to select your Time Machine backups, connect the old Mac and select that option instead. The rest of the procedure is exactly the same.
