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 an iPod G2 with a firewire 400 lead. how can I attach it to my new 13 inch Mac book Pro, is there a 400 to 800 firewire converter. USB lead wont work with the Macbook Pro. iPod used as an external drive to archive memory cards on the go.

My G2 iPod that I use as an external drive to archive memory cards on the go cannot link with my new 13" Macbook Pro cause it uses a firewire 400 lead. It will not work with a USB lead. Is there a firewire 800 ipod lead or converter available? Can any one shed some light on this please?

As far as I know, if a harddrive works with a Macpro, it should work with the Macbook: if your Macbook is low on power, plug in the AC adapter
If your Macbook has a firewire port, then it should be fine. BUt i would do somemore research first.

How can I use bluetooth to send data to my mac book pro?

I can connect my smartphone (nokia) to my Mac Book Pro, but if I try to send something from Nokya to my Mac using bluetooth, that's impossible. The only way is to search what I wanto to store in my Mac, using the Mac and browse my Nokia with Finder.
Is this correct ??
Is the bluetooth an univesral protocol to send and receive data between two sources ???
Why my Mac is unable to receive the data sended by another source ?? (the same question is valid using an iPhone and another smartphone to try to send/receive data).
Many thank for your response.

I have many movies I made in iMovie and need to burn to DVD for players.
You need this: http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/idvd.html#custom
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

How can I deternmine what apps are running on my Mac Book Pro

Hoe can I determine what applications I have open and running on my Mac Book Pro

1. Use Activity Monitor (it's in the Utilities folder, which is in Applications, or just type Shift-⌘-U in Finder)
2. Show the Dock and look for the "indicator lights".
If they are not there then go to System Preferences > Dock and select "show indicator lights for open applications"

How to transfer music from my iPhone to my new mac book pro itunes

I would like to transfer my music from my iphone into my new macbook pro itunes

Questions:
Is the music from iTunes store or other source?
Do you have an iTunes or iCloud account?
What kind of Internet connection(s) do you have available?
If you have an iTunes account and purchased the music there, you can just make sure the new MacBook is using the same account as the phone and sync, or look at the Purchased list on the left side in iTunes on the Mac. You should see your past purchases there and they will download and play as needed.
If your music isn't iTunes purchased, I don't know how to do it... someone will.
What is your setup as far as iTunes?

How can I connect my 24" cinema display to a mac book pro retina HDMI output?

Hi folks,
I would like to have a macbook pro retina running three external displays (this is technically feasable):
2 times a 27" Cinema displays through thunderbold ones (connecting them to the Thunderbold output, daysy chaining them)
1 time a 24" Cinema display through mini display port (connecting it to the HDMI output as the resolution matches on both ends 1920 x 1200)
Any idea which adaptor I would need as most of them are only working one way (the wrong way!..)?
Thanks for you numerous inputs ;-)

Yes, you can install 16GB in your new macbook pro.
Go here (OWC) and here (Crucial) to give you options on how much you want to spend.
Good luck.

I can't find the videos from my Sony camera on my Mac Book Pro

I can't locate the videos from my Sony camera on my Mac Book Pro. Do I need additional software?

How & where did you search? I gather the videos are no longer in the cam? Where do you have the videos go when transferring from your cam?
Download WhatSize and/or OmniDiskSweeper to see if you can "see" the videos.

You could try calling Apple and ask for Customer Relations.
From Readers Digest-February, 2005
How to Complain
You call customer service to complain about a product, and you hang up angrier than when you started. That’s customer rage, a feeling experienced by millions of people with a major complaint, says Scott Broetzmann, president an American firm that tells companies how to offer the best customer service. His secrets to getting good service:
Have a goal
If you want your product repaired, say so. Want an apology? Speak up.
Keep it short
Focus on one problem, and be succinct.
Stick with it
You have to invest the time it takes. Don’t get what you want? Ask for a supervisor.
Skip ultimatums
Don’t threaten not to do business with them again. Why should they help you if you won’t buy from them in the future?
Plead your case
Many companies have information such as how much money you’ve spent with them and how often you complain. If you’re a good customer, they may be more willing to help.
Be nice
You’re unlikely to get what you want if you’re rude.
Good luck.

• Only if your video camera supports it. Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
• Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
• If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac. For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
• The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
• If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.

In start disc mode can I use a external USB flash drive on MAC Book Pro

In start disc mode can I use a external USB flash drive on MAC Book Pro?

To do what? Yes you can connect a USB flash drive to the system and if it has the Recovery HD files on it you can boot from it. If it has the OS X install files on it you can boot from it. If it is large enough to contain a Time Machine backup on it you can restore your system from it.
So what do you want to do with the USB thumb drive?
