How can i see my mac in the tv ???

I bougth the cable in the macstore to conect my macbookpro to the tv (LED).
but i only see the empty screen backround of my mac.
it's like the the backround screem with zoom i think.
some body can help me ???
i add a picture to can see more clearly.
Thanks 

You have an extended desktop, which means that what you see on the TV is a continuation of the screen on your MacBook, i.e. if you move your mouse off the end of your MacBooks screen it will appear on the TV screen.  Furthermore, if you resize a window beyond the edge of the MacBook's screen it will start to appear on the TV screen.
The MacBook screen is currently set to be the primary screen.  To make the TV the primary screen go into System Preferences -> Displays.  You will see an image of two screens.  Drag the little bar at the top of the smaller screen to the top of the larger screen.
You can set it so that you see the same image on both screens if you click mirroring on.  However, the external display will be at the same resolution as the internal display and you won't be making full use of the maximum resolution available on the TV.

  • ICal 'on my mac' to iPhone - How can I see on my phone, the entries in calendars under 'On My Mac'?

    iCal 'on my mac' to iPhone - How can I see on my phone, the entries in calendars under 'On My Mac'?
    I have several entries (too many) on calendars created prior to iCloud. They are listed as calendars 'On My Mac'. How can I get this information to my phone? I understand that iCloud makes On My Mac calendars obsolete?
    I use my phone calendar to see my duties for the day, and only add entries if I'm out and on the fly. These I don't mind typing into the iCloud calendars. But my regular process when I'm sitting in front of the computer is to add them via iCal using the On My Mac calendars created years ago, over time. I need to see this information while on the go. How can I?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Create a new empty calendar from the iCal file menu, select which account you want to create it in.
    If you have only a few appointments you can move them individually by editing them and changing the calendar in the edit options.
    Alternatively you can copy all the appointments in one calendar to another and delete the original.
    To copy a calendar ctrl-click on it from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button (top left corner of iCal) and choose export (export it to your desktop for ease)
    Double click the exported file and choose the new empty calendar to import them into.
    Ctrl-click on the original calendar from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button and choose delete.

    Do you have a home network?
    Personal File Sharing: You can connect Macs on a local network with Tiger’s Personal File Sharing, which allows you to mount folders from the sharing Mac on the master Mac—note that the slave Macs do the sharing; the master Mac doesn’t have to. To turn on Personal File Sharing on the slave Mac, do this:
    Open System Preferences.
    In the System Preferences window, click Sharing.
    In the Sharing pane, click Services.
    In the Select a Service to Change Its Settings list, select the Personal File Sharing checkbox.
    Now that the slave Mac has sharing turned on, you can mount it on the master Mac’s Desktop:
    In the Finder, choose Go -> Network.
    In the Network window, select the sharing Mac.
    Click Connect.
    In the Connect to Server window, click Registered User, enter the user account name and password for the sharing Mac, and then click Connect.
    In the window that appears, select the volume that contains the folder you want to sync with, and then click OK.

  • How can I see my Mac in another Mac?

    How can I see my Mac in another Mac?
    I mean, I have a Mac in the office and a Mac at home. Is it possible not to carry mine, just to connect it to the office's one? Thank you very much

    "Sharing" the way Mac OS X uses it means giving permission for others to use something. Once Sharing something is enabled, you just use the thing that has been Shared.
    To access your Mac at work from the Internet would require changing the configuartion of the Router at work to allow port-forwarding.

  • How can I see another mac backup on time machine?

    how can I see another mac backup on time machine?

    Bob thanks, but that didn't solve my problem, I went to question 17 and went into the Browse my Time Machine and it also didn't find or recognize the other Mac.  I know it's in there because when I open the other Mac and Enter the Time Machine, I can see it through that Mac, and I have the same problem there, where I can't see my Mac.
    In short, when I back up a Mac (doesn't matter which one) I can verify its backup as long as I use that Mac, but I cannont verfiy the backup on that Mac using another Mac and vice versa.
    Also, I never used to have to do anything to see both on the same Mac.  So I don't know what changed. 
    There must be another way.
    Thanks

  • How can I see a list of the assets associated with a sequence?

    How can I see a list of the assets, both online and offline, associated with a sequence?

    Exporting an EDL or copying and pasting a timeline into a bin gives a complete list of the clips in a sequence, but what I really would like is a list of the files used, without any duplications due to multiple clips from a single reel. Is there any quick way to automatically generate such a list?

    Hi, I did manage to ping each computer (the mac from the pc and viceversa), also I did manage to "see" the mac from the pc windows network application; but I still have two issues:
    1) I still can't "see" the PC from my Mac, under share of finder....
    2) How can I do to access the mac from the pc? It keeps asking me for a user and password, should I use my user and password that I use in my mac? How can I add the pc user into my mac setting if I can't "see" the pc?
    Thank you for your help

  • How can i see my contacts on the itunes?

    Hi
    I have damaged my phone screen and cannot see anything on the phone.
    Just Synch my phone.
    How can i view my contacts in windows?

    Look in whatever application you were syncing them to. Windows Address Book or Outlook. Contacts are not stored in iTunes. It only acts as a conduit to sync them to a compatible address book.

    I dont know if OS X have a Multimedia protocol that allows your tv to connect, if your tv can do XBMC then you can check this out: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=How-to:Install_XBMC_for_Mac
    This is a third party software that Apple have no support on.

  • How can I see my iPhone on the Shared devices list on sidebar of Finder ?

    I have a Home Network Wireless-N based on a Linksys Broadband Router WRT300N. I have my MacBook Pro and my iPhone, my wife her MacBook, my son a Windows portable and still a Desktop Windows PC. The desktop Windows PC is connected via Ethernet cable direct to the Router, the other four devices connect wireless.
    The problem is that I can only see the desktop Windows PC in my Finder's Sidebar on my MacBook Pro. Since all the other devices are connected in the wireless network with full access to internet, I suppose I should see them in the sharing devices list on the sidebar. Tried already to connect to server under Menu Go To without any luck. Someone knows why ? Thanks for some help.

    The iPhone doesn't have a disk mode or wireless N capabilities.

  • How can I see in which Group the workspace has been created ?

    Hi,
    The BeehiveOnline Tutorial on slide 7 shows that Workspaces are created within a Group.
    Also the Group Administration screen suggests this as I can indicate that user ABC gets the role 'Workspace Creator' in one Group but same user ABC does not get the role 'Workspace Creator' in another Group. (what else is the purpose of this role within Group Administration)
    But when I created my workspace, the system did not ask in which Group I wanted it to be created, neither can I see in the Settings of the new Workspace to which Group it belongs.
    Can you please help ?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Peter,
    Workspaces and groups can be confusing - apologies that it was not clear.
    Perhaps some background as to why I described it that way may help.
    BeehiveOnline relies on groups to be self-sufficient - if you are in one group your world of available participants is that group and that group alone. So if you want to create a new workspace and add users they can only be drawn from that group. - hence the workspaces within a group setup. However, if you are in multiple groups then the linkage gets broken as you could add members to a workspace from different groups - if you needed many group to share a repository of read-only info for instance. This is in wide use on BeehiveOnline. Read and Write access is more of a problem as if anyone updates a document or creates one their id will be attached to it and if they are in a group you as a workspace member cannot see it will cause confusion.
    So workspaces are only group restricted if there is only one group. If you have multiple groups you have more scope but have to exercise more care.
    Hope that explains it.
    Phil

  • How can I see what is in the Trash folder?

    When I open the Trash folder, all I see is a gray bar with "Trash" on the left and a button marked "Empty" on the right.  I know I have items in the trash, but I can't see them.  It used to be when I opened the trash, I saw a list of all items in the trash.  What has changed??  Thanks.

    Your trash bin may be damaged and it's deleting items as soon as you put them in.
    Go to /Applications/Utilities/ folder and launch Terminal. At the prompt, copy and paste the following command into the Terminal window.
    sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
    Press Return. You will be asked to enter your admin password. As you type, your password will not be returned, so be sure to enter it correctly. Press Return again. Log out and back in or restart.
