    How to connect my iPhone to my iMac trough bluetooth?

    If you have a wifi router you can set up/turn on the wifi... set the user name and password wifi in your router... open wifi in general settings on the iPhone... log into your router, user name and password. (If your don't know how to turn on the router wifi. Google the router make and model and you will find instructions on how to do this.)
    If you don't have a wifi router and your Mac has wifi capabilities you can hookup to the internet over wifi from your Mac to your iPhone.
    System Preferences on the Mac... Network... Wifi... Advanced tab... Hit the '+' to add a user name and password...
    Make sure you use WPA2 Personal for Security... Hit ok... Turn on the wifi... Same as above with the iPhone, log into your wifi settings on the iPhone.
    *Important point... Use WPA2 for the encryption/Security setting. If you use anything else for this setting, your wifi can be hacked.

  • How to connect my macbook pro to my car cd player

    hello how to connect my macbook pro to my car cd player

    If the CD player has audio line outputs, you could tap the audio input port of your MBP.  I do question the practicality of doing so.

  • How to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?

    how to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?  My home computer is a Window 8 OS.  Thx.

    The easiest way, and it may work from scratch, is to share the folders/drives you want access to on your pc, noticing what are the default parameters (eg "workgroup" etc.).
    Then, you can connect your mac directly by ethernet, for instance, and, in Finder, go to > Network, you should see the folders/drives. You may be asked to provide user/password.
    Don't get confused by regular/crossed ethernet cable, as mac can cross by software, so a regular cable will be ok.
    Anyway, either you isd modem has the ability to connect several devices (multiple ethernet sockets, or wifi), or you can buy a router, which isn't expansive.

  • How to connect my MacBook to my iPod Hi-Fi

    Hello,
    I'd like to know how to connect my MacBook to a iPod Hi-Fi.
    Thank you!

    You have two choices. You can use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo cable or for best results use a digital audio cable between them.

  • How to connect new Macbook pro 2014 to iMac 2010 for a secondary display

    I have a new Macbook Pro 2014 and an old iMac 2010. How can I connect them to have an additional secondary display? I thought I would need a thunderbolt cable with a Thunderbolt to Mini DisplayPort adapter but I can't find that. There's lots of options and I don't understand what would be best.
    Macbook Pro 2014
    iMac 2010
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi Nathaniel,
    Thunderbolt is another way of calling it a Mini Displayport, thunderbolt is just faster and has more usage with other products (i.e. hdds, displays etc.) You can hook up a thunderbolt to a mini-display port because both are the same size and serve the same function. Just don't connect anything to the display port on the iMac other than a computer.
    Kind Regards,

  • I need to know how to connect my macbook to the tv

    I ordered the mini dvi adapter for my macbook 13in and obviously it connects to the computer but i have no idea how it connects to the tv. Where does it go? and do i need something else to help connect it to the tv? I am really confused please help.

    Yep, Apple makes adaptors to go from the mini DVI on the macbook to almost any type of input that you TV will have. First check the back of your tube to find out what kind of input it has, and order the appropriate adaptor.
    Luck

  • How to connect my Macbook into my HD TV?

    Hi, after reading a lot of post, I still do not know if I could connect my Macbook into a 42' plasma TV, I mean, how can I connect my macbook into my 42' plasma tv? I do not care if I have to used 2 different cables and/or adapters
    And I think it would be very useful if somehow a mini dp to hdmi cable (supporting audio) could be found/create; because actually I can not use Apple TV, and I would like to be able to watch the HD TV Show that I may buy from itunes into my HD TV in HD quality offered on itunes.
    Thank you for any help

    You can definitely connect it, but the audio part might be a little tricky. You'll probably get an Apple mini-DVI to DVI cable. If your TV has DVI, then as far as video goes, you're done. If you have HDMI but not DVI, then you'll need a DVI to HDMI adapter. By the way, if you have the new Aluminum model, then the cable you need is a mini display port to DVI.
    The audio is where it gets funky. If you have a stereo receiver, you would get an optical toslink cable that goes from your MacBooks headphone jack into the toslink port of your receiver (apple sells this cable on their web site). If you don't have a receiver, then it is up to your TV as to whether it can take audio from a different input while using the HDMI input. You would most likely have to use standard RCA audio cables for this. You probably should experiment first to see if your TV can do this.

    My MBP is MAC OS X 10.7.4.
    Is that enough for you?
    That's the software/OS, and actually, I need the hardware version, known as the model identifier, which you can find in System Profiler. Also, if you read the link I posted in my first post, it will help and explain that MBP models produced (not just purchased) after April 2010 use the Mini Displayport, that includes audio, and it also lists two adapters you could use.
