How can I connect my MacBook Air 11" to my old TV?

I have these things at home. Are these  cabels and connectors enoght for the connection, how can I "DIYs" method connect my Mac and my TV?
I have...
... a mini display port to VGA connector...
... a VGA to RCA cable like this on this picture:  http://webshop.garmix.hu/images/vga_3rca_cable.jpg
... a SCART connector, with IN/OUT possibility. With two (L/R) sound RCA pin, and a Video RCA pin, and plus an S-Video port too, a picture about this thing:

On my TV I have a 3 RCA input like on the SCART,  a video RCA input and two, RCA sound input.
On the back of the TV I have two SCART I/O port.
Can I make a connection from these tools or maybe I need more stuff or another tool to do that connection?
Thanks for your help!

None of those options are ideal.
What model MacBook Air do you have? If it has a Thunderbolt output you can use this:
Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
Then you will need to convert the HDMI video and audio signals to composite video and stereo audio with something like this:
HDMI® to Composite Video Converter
If your MacBook is an earlier model with only a Mini DisplayPort (no audio) then you need to connect its audio output directly to your TV.

  • How can I connect my MacBook Air to my Brother printer?

    I have a Brother wireless printer and I'm trying to figure out how I can connect it to my MacBook Air. It came with 2 CDs, but since my laptop doesn't have a CD-rom, I obviously can't set it up that way. And the set up booklets don't say anything about this...can anyone help?

    Any printer software that comes on CDs will either be available from the printer manufacturer's web site or from Apple. In fact, it is often more current than whatever versions are on the CDs or DVDs.
    Also, in most cases, printers with wifi capabilities have to initially be setup by using a USB connection.

  • How can i connect my macbook air with lion os to a windows 7 pc

    Hi I wondered if anyone could help me as i am new to apple pc's
    I have recently got a macbook air and i am trying to have file sharing with both pc's unfortunately whatever i try does no allow both pc's to see each other. If i try the connect to server method using smb then log in screen just shakes and wont accept a valid login offer. The windows pc also does not see the mac in the network which i guess does not help. On several forums there is a suggestion that this used to work on earlier versions of apple os
    Any help would be most appreciated Thankyou

    On the OS X side it's very simple, System Preferences - Sharing - checkmark File Sharing box and then choose the Users and Shared Folders. On the MS Windows side you will need to turn that on too, however I don't use Windows so I can't help. However I was able to find this simple 15 step (saracasm intended) page:

    Hi,
    Be aware that scanning is no longer supported on OS x 10.6, 10.7 or 10.8 but only print functionality is available:

    The printer can be added under Print & Scan / Print & Fax, its drivers should be downloaded for Apple Software Update automatically.

  • How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network

    How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network ? The printer is connected to a PC running Windows 7. That PC is connected to my Wireless Network. MacBook connects fine to Network, but can't find Printer.

    Hi Kappy,
    Thanks for your response. I followed your instructions (for Mac OS 10.6.7). It seemed to set up OK, but when I tried to print I kept getting the following Failure Message "Session Setup failed : NT_Status_Invalid_Parameter".
    When I get the "Advanced Window" should I enter anything into the "Location" field ? Maybe I am not entering the correct Workgroup, Server or Sharename ? Is there a way to make sure all of that is correct ? I went on to the computer that the printer is connected to and verified all of that, but am not sure I looked in the right places.
    When I print via my Home Network from another Windows 7 Computer to the same PC, it works fine. I just can't get it to Print from my MacBook Air.
    I thought of using the IP Address. How do I find the IP address of the Computer that is connected to the Printer ? Is it what they call the IPv4 Address, or the IPv4 Default Gateway ?
    Appreciate any help you can provide.

    First, the Epson Stylus Color 740 (which I assume is your printer) is listed in this article, which is good news:

    How do I connect my MacBook Air bought sep13 to a Benq GL2450? monitor?

    External screens are designed to work as extended displays for your computer's display. It means that menu bars and desktop icons won't appear, and you will only see windows if you drag them to the right part of the computer's display.
    To change this, you have to activate video mirroring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019

  • How do I connect my MacBook Air 2011 to a projector?

    How do I connect my MacBook Air 2011 to a projector?

    It depends on the input connection for the projector, but since many are rduced resolution, VGA seems to be the prevalent common connection.
    It's just a matter of buying the adapter that adapts VGA to the Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt port on your Air. If it is a DVI or HDMI connection input on your projector, the online Apple Store carries that as well.
    This adapter and sufficient length VGA cable is all you need for VGA.
    Here's the DVI adapter.
    For some reason, I am unable to bring up the Moshi HDMI adapter on Apple's site.

    how can i purchase a macbook air in Nigeria? apple has no shop in the entire country and independent dealers charge ridiculously sometimes more than double the prices of mac products without guarantee of getting it with required specifications. its sad cos Nigeria has a very large apple market plus phones and most recently ipads especially. its been frustrating trying to get a macbook, even have to wait for when someone will travel out of the country, then you send the person(thats if you have the money at that time). Please somebody help inform apple maybe they can do something about this, its really disappointing.
