How do i connect mac book pro 5.5 to samsung lcd tv (series 5)?

i have a macbook pro 5.5 and tried to connect it to my samsung lcd tv series 5 - i have mini display port to hdmi cable, hdmi cable and phono to rga cable - i can see screen but cannot hear any sound... can anyone help?
thanks

I assume you mean rca... what is happening is you're outputting digital sound via your hdmi. Phono or anything analog will not work if you're playing using hdml, because it plays both sound and sends video. what you should do is plug the hdmi cord from your mDP directly into the hd tv, then run whatever sound output the tv has to what i assume is a reciever for sound. Let the tv decode the audio to then output to your "phono" or "rga".

How can i connect mac book pro to appel tv3

To do what? It's not clear from the question.
If you want to play iTunes library content on the unit you need to enable Home Sharing on both, have them on the same network and then look for your iTunes library under the Computer icon - iTunes must be running of course.
Communications can be blocked by firewalls or security software sometimes.
To factory restore a black AppleTv2 or 3 you connect it to the computer running itunes with a USB to microUSB lead alone and start itunes.

Any ideas how to fix my mac book pro to canon pixma mp640 printer connection?

Anyone have any ideas how to fix my mac book pro to canon pimxa mp640 printer link? The two are connected manually yet the ! remains on the 'print' page next to the printer name. it was working fine until i changed the ink cartridges. Without the wireless password - which I've never had and don't supposedly need as it's not a wireless connection, I am being prevented from resuming printing.

If it's on a windows network you have to enter your (windows) log in (name/password) credentials.
This should be a 1 time event. It will remember it thereafter.

I am trying to connect my laptop to my TV. The computer flashes blue after I plug the cable in but the TV says there is no signal. I have a Mac Book Pro 2009 and a Samsung 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 450 Series 720p LCD HDTV (2010 model)

I have a Mac Book Pro 2009 and a Samsung 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 450 Series 720p LCD HDTV (2010 model).
I am using a mini display port to VGA adapter. I have sucessfully hooked up boh devices but it stopped working after a handful of times. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the problem or is my cable broken?

How long should the Mac Book pro hold its charge???

How long should the Mac Book pro hold a battery charge??

For a single use or how long will the battery last until it needs to be replaced? For single use, it depends on what you are doing when using you mac. I find that when using mine I get about 6-6 1/2 hours just using it to browse the internet before I need to recharge it. If it is one of the newer Macbook Pros that claim to have a 7 hour battery life, It can last up to 5 years. See this article on notebook batteries to get the most out of your battery: http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html. Hope this helps

How could having a mac book pro benefit me as a college student?

how could having a mac book pro benefit me as a college student?

To be honest, which computer platform you use isn't likely to make much of a difference. You need a reliable system first and foremost. Granted, low end Windows machines can be less reliable. But I have found comparably spec'd Windows machines to perform as reliably. It does take a little more work on the PC side with respect to maintainance and avoiding viruses.
The most important thing is that you get a system that will allow you to do what you need to do. If you're not familiar with using a Mac (and subsequently, OS X), the best time to learn isn't when you're in school. You don't want to be spending time trying to figure out how to do something when you're up against a tight deadline.
Unfortunately, many schools still use some Windows only applications. The good news is that with a Mac, you can still natively run Windows, so there is no downside in going with a Mac. You can have the compatibility with Windows that you may need and you'll also have your comfy Windows there if you run into something in OS X that you don't have the time to figure out.
These forums are great for support, but sometimes you might need an answer "now" in the middle of the night while you're working on something, and it may take some time to get a helpful response. In those cases, you'll be able to fall back on Windows.
Over time, you'll find you can use Windows less and less and you'll start to get more comfortable with OS X. The benefits to a Mac aren't so much in the hardware, but rather the OS. It tends to be stable, clean, and efficient.
Frankly, being proficient in multiple operating systems is always a benefit as well. There may be Mac only applications out there that are better than their Windows counterpart. With a Mac, you'll be able to use those programs... which people running Windows machines may not even know exist. It's sort of like being able to speak a different language. You can broaden your options. Also, in today's job marketplace, any advantage you can have is a good one.

Is there anyway I can connect my Mac Book Pro wirelessly to my samsung ES8000

Is there anyway I can connect my Mac Book Pro wirelessly to my samsung ES8000?

IOS?
Do you mean OSX (or is there another device you have yet to mention)?
If it is OSX connect the phone via Bluetooth and use the Browse Device command to access files. I have no idea whether this will work but it won't break anything.

I goto Samsung and get the latest Firmware and create an image and burn it to CD and run it from a Command line. The Pin Wheel continues,
I upgrade to Maverick in an attempt Apple would know about Samsung's top of the range SSD drives? perhaps not. I have even more issues since the upgrade,

Being new to working with Mac, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to set my Mac Book Pro wirelessly to the Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark ll? My husband had gotten this printer and the sales person said that it can be set up wirelessly to my Mac Book Pro

Being new to working with a Mac, I was wondering if anyone can tell me step, by step on how to set up my Mac Book Pro(Mid 2012) wirelessly to a Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark ll that my husband had gotten me? Sales person told him that it's compatiable to my Mac Book Pro, Mtn Lion, but I do not see it and I don't see how to do it wirelessly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ;o)

Hello:
There is nothing wrong with asking questions. There are no dumb questions....answers, yes, but not questions.
If you set up your wi-fi router to establish a network, then both your printer and MacBook Pro will connect wirelessly. *** I do not know what kind of router you possess, I don't want to suggest things that might not be relevant.

How to get my mac book pro to associate my ID with it?

Hi,
I'm going to try this one more time. I live too far from the Apple store, so I need to do this at home if possible.
I bought a used Mac Book Pro where I work at a Pawn Shop. Of course, the OS was already installed and
when I tried to clear it out, it installed Maveric OS / or upgraded it using the old users Apple ID. I didn't understand
this process at the time coming from the PC world, I thought since I bought it legally, it was mine.
So, I tried to download the upgrades, and it asked for the Apple ID, which I did not have an ID that
was associated with this MacBookPro and it's OS. There for, I was not able to use my Apple ID that
I signed up for and received.
So, I wrote on here about my problem and was advised that I had pirated software and that I needed to
go back online and re-install using the Internet or Recover using the Internet Method. So, today I tried
and I was able to connect, and enter my Apple ID, but I recevied the message that I didn't have an OS
associated with my ID which is correct.
So, I'm in a pickle. I looked at the "About this Mac" and although it has good hareware, there is no serial number
as it seems the board might have been upgraded at one time. So, I can't tell what version of the OS was on this
machine originally and I"m not sure it would help anyway. But, I'd be willing to buy the original version of the OS
and use my Apple ID online to do so if it would help me with this Mac Book Pro?
I'm thinking I could go to the Apple Store online and get a previous version of the OS such as Moutain Lion
which I think sells for 19.95 and in return they send me within one day a code or something to redeem the same.
I'm wanting to know if I do this and I use my current Apple ID, would I THEN BE ABLE TO USE the internet
recovery method and erase the hard drive and start over with the bought versioni of the OS such as Mountain Lion
and then upgrade from there to OS X Maverick and get my upgrades from then on?
If this doesn't work, then I can only take it to the Apple Store I guess and see if they can help, but I'd like to avoid
that solution at all costs if possible just because I'm so busy and live so far away from a Store. I'm in a very small
town in Southern Indiana and there is no close Apple Store.
Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Regards
Tim

If you can still access the machine and haven't wiped the drive, open the Mac App Store, log in to your Apple ID, and try to download Mavericks from there. If it works, make a bootable USB from the
Mavericks installer (google how to do this). Then boot to the USB wipe the drive and install Mavericks clean. And since it shoudl be associated with your Apple ID at that point you shouldn't have any issues.

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.
