How can I add my smart tv to my mac network?

I recently bought a Mod.# 470 SV LED tv from Vizio.  It is set up in my wireless network but I cannot use it to display or mirror my MacBook (13" early 2008), except for Netflix and a few other things that came canned on the tv (smart tv).  I understand I can hook it up to an HDMI cable and get it to work but I am hopeing that I can do it wireless.  I also heard that if I used an Apple TV and eventually get the next OS (mountain Lion), I will be able to do it wirelessly.  I would also hope that I will be able to get my audio to work.  Any pointers, hints, advice or rebukes will be greatly appreciated.  Please keep it simple for I am barely literate at this stuff.  Thanks much.

  • How can I add a second display to my Mac Mini

    How can I add a second display to my Mac Mini (mid 2011). HDTV and standard monitor working simultaneously.

    True ... but that can be tricky.
    Macs can only power so much, and only through approved/proper adapters.
    Running two monitors off a single MDP-to-VGA adapter may not work, because Mac may not nicely exchange-talk the simultaneous signals.
    There is an adapter that will convert a single minidisplayport to two VGA plugs, but that adapter is $100 instead of $30 (for the single) because it has special hardware in the adapter itself to manage the two signals sinultaneously.
    Alternately ...
    Running one through the minidisplayport and one through the HDMI port makes them two separate signals to be processed.

  • How can I add an email account in apple mac which ends with .consulting

    We changed our email account and the domain name is .consulting. How can I add this account to my Mac mail?

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous Apple ID and password to unlock the device. If you do not know the password you might be able to recover it at this link:
    https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid
    This normally will require that info is sent to the primary email address associated with the Apple ID. If you have an alternate email address assigned to that Apple ID you might get the password via the alternate email address.

  • How can i add a resolution display on a mac mini?

    hi,
    i have my mac mini currently running without a monitor connected. i control it through screen sharing from my macbook. i just suddenly had the clever idea of setting the display resolution on the mac mini to 1280x800 so i can run it full screen in my macbook.
    only problem is that this resolution is not available (or not displayed) on the display preferences on my mac mini. it only gives me 4 options and is currently running at 1280x1024 (the other options are 800x600, 1024x768 and 1680x1050)
    Is there any way i can 1280x800 resolution on the mac mini?
    Thank you.
    Al.

    Hi,
    thanks for that suggestion, looks like it should have worked but even with all its configurations it will not allow me to add the 1280x800 res to the mac mini, and yes it is completely headless. its set up to be accessed purely through screen sharing on my macbook, i intend to set it up to run a vpn also with vnc access for when i travel away.
    it seems like it should be something really simple, obviously the 1280x800 is a standard size screen!
    any more suggestions??
    thanks.

  • How can I add a Smart object (button) to a quiz background and have it work?

    Good day,
    I have the need to add button to a quiz (in Captivate 6) to allow people to leave the quiz and go back to the start page.
    I realize you cant add a normal button to quiz, so I added a smart object converted to a button on the master page.  I have it all set up to go to the page, mouse over shows hand and all of that.
    the Captivate runs, I get to the quiz, mouse over it changes to a hand.  I click and it does nothing.  Any ideas why??  Any suggestions on how to do what I want?
    Thank you
    Dave Stabley

    Hi Lilybiri,
    I always look to your blog for help.   This time unfortunately it didnt help me.
    as I expressed above all I am trying to do is create a button that will do a jump to page with in a quiz.
    I have some long quizes in the captivate projects that I create.   Once a person starts a quiz they might realize it is a bit more than they are ready for.  I am just trying to give them a way to click a buttong to get out of the quiz and back to a certain page.
    On the master page for the quiz, I created a smart object (rectangle) that is converted to a button it is also transparent and goes over top of a graphic for the button.
    I tell it to go to the correct page, and I set it up so that when you mouse over the smart object it shows a hand
    When I go to preview this, I mouse over the graphic and get the hand icon, but when I click it goes no where.  It seems to me that the quiz is waitting for an answer before it will accept the click.   The catch is when I give the answer it forgets click and moves on the the next question.
    Any thoughts?
    Thank you

  • How can I add a Time Capsule 3TB to a network with an older Time Capsule 2TB?

    I have a 2010 Macbook Pro with 500 GB HD and a 2013 Macbook Pro with 1TB HD. I am using Mavericks and will migrate to OS X Yosemite when it becomes available. I tried backing both up with my older Time Capsule with 2 TB of space but it isn't enough. So, today I bought the new Time Capsule 3 TB to add on to my network. I want to use both TCs in order to have 5 TB for backup.
    I have a Brother printer and my Comcast Cable Modem connected to the old Time Capsule. I also have an Apple TV with 1080p HD that uses the internet wirelessly through the old Time Capsule.
    My first question is what should connect to what and in what order? Should the new TC connect directly to the old TC and if so, with what cable?
    My 2nd question is: Can I move several 100 GB of old data that I rarely use onto the 3TB TC so that I could access the data from either computer whenever I need it, without having the data on either computer?
    Thank you.

    This is a pretty easy setup.
    Basically just plug the new TC WAN port into the old TC LAN port.
    Run the airport utility on the computer and it should recognise that the new TC is plugged into another one.. and setup bridge mode and create a wireless network.. if not you can jump in and edit it at the end of the setup.
    You could also swap things around with the new TC as the main router.. and the old one as the secondary.. but people are experiencing some issues with WAN connection to some cable modems.. so you need to be prepared if you have issues to go back to the original setup.
    You will use an ethernet patch cable to connect them. I recommend if you have them in the same area place them at least a couple of meters apart.. so buy a 2-3M patch cable at least.. (8-9ft). Even better would be to install the new TC closer to the clients that will use it.. to improve wireless in dark corners of your house.. but all that can come later.
    My 2nd question is: Can I move several 100 GB of old data that I rarely use onto the 3TB TC so that I could access the data from either computer whenever I need it, without having the data on either computer?
    This is a lot harder question.. not in how to do it.. it is simple.. copy and paste files onto the new TC.. that is not the issue..
    The problem is backup of the files that no longer exist on the computers. Ironically the TC is problematic for one major reason.. it cannot back itself up.. nor can Time Machine (TM) backup network drives. Even though TM uses the TC to store the backup it cannot actually work to backup the TC. The problems are not insurmountable.. you can use a third party backup.. eg CCC but it will be extremely slow. A better strategy if one of your computers is a desktop is to install an external drive and share it to the network. The data rate will be hugely better.. and TM can backup as per normal.

  • How can I add wifi & bluetooth to late 2006 Mac Pro

    I have a dual 2.66 Xeon Mac Pro purchased new in December 2006. I wanted to add the airport wifi and bluetooth card but have been told by the technical line that Apple no longer makes these. They suggested I would have to pursue a third party solution which I find remarkable.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to go about this or practical experience in doing it?
    Cheers,
    Gord

    Look on eBay or search Google. You can check ifixit.com to see if they carry the part. You should be able to find online tutorials via Google on how to install it. Some disassembly is required.

  • How can i add form of my own to "SAPM07DR"

    i been asked to add form develop by me to the standart program "SAPM07DR" .
    this task came from the need of the implementation
    of the "material management" , assign forms and program.
    now i get the output "ZWE4"  ,
    and i want to assign form of my own  ,
    i tried to add smart form but i get message
    "Errors occurred while processing output"
    so I want to try layout  with  standard program "SAPM07DR" .
    how can i add form of my own to this program

    First, you must copy this program to your own program with "ZSAPM07DR" then copy the include program where the routine pass through the program
    example: entry_we03 -> from include M07DRENT and M07DRAUS
             change this include to ZM07DRENT and ZM07DRAUS
    The next step is binding your form in the program.
    what forms do you use ? Sapscript or Smartforms ?
    in this Program already used Sapscript. You can See there is Open_Form Function in that Program.
    I suggest you to Bind Smartforms.
    IF you use smartforms, Remark All Statement from
    "PERFORM open_form_sammel." to "PERFORM close_form." before endform
    that perform including in M07DRAUS -> FORM lesen_wes USING objky lgortsplit.
    after that put this program to replace the remark :
    data : FMNAME type RS38L_FNAM.
    DATA: ls_control_param      TYPE ssfctrlop.
    set preview parameters
          MOVE 'X' TO ls_control_param-no_dialog.
          MOVE 'X' TO ls_control_param-preview.
          MOVE 'PRINTER'  TO ls_control_param-device.
    *break-point.
    *****Print SmartForms
      CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
            EXPORTING
              FORMNAME           = TNAPR-SFORM
            IMPORTING
              FM_NAME            = FMNAME
            EXCEPTIONS
              NO_FORM            = 1
              NO_FUNCTION_MODULE = 2
              OTHERS             = 3.
         CALL FUNCTION FMNAME
         EXPORTING
             control_parameters   = ls_control_param
         TABLES
             traptab           = traptab
         EXCEPTIONS
             formatting_error = 1
             internal_error   = 2
             send_error       = 3.
         if sy-subrc NE 0.
    *******message 'Error' type 'S'.
         endif.
    *******End Smartforms
    Hope This Help...
