How do I connect Visio LCD HDTB to MacBook?

I have a mini DVI to HDMI adapter, HDMI cable plugged into HDMI port 1 of my Visio 37" HDTV.  I get "No Signal" on the TV screen.  input is set on tv to HDMI 1.  ALL screen size settings fail.
This is a MacBook, Mac OS 10.5.8, model MacBook5,2
Thanks In Advance,
AZHolmes

When you open System Preferences>Displays do you see an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens on?
If so then your MacBook is recognizing the TV. You may have to contact Visio support then.

    How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?  This question applies to both DVI and VGA, as I might have to work with multiple sets of monitors.

    The MacBookPro only has enough horsepower in the video card for one external monitor.
    If you want two or more, you need a MacPro.
    Or a MacBook Pro and a Remote Desktop controlled MacMini.

    how do i connect my imac and my macbook so they are in sync and up to date with the same documents?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    There isn't a way to connect both Macs with a cable to keep your documents updated on them. However, if you need all your documents updated on both Macs, you can use a cloud service as iCloud or Dropbox to sync your documents. Preferably, I recommend Dropbox because it can sync all type of files between both computers > http://www.dropbox.com
    Another thing you can do is to buy an external disk and put your documents here

    You cannot, unless you are trying to use the Personal Hotspot on the phone for an internet connection on the MacBook. The devices do not connect via Bluetooth for anything else.

  • How can I connect 5.1 speakers to Macbook Pro 13 bought Summer 2011

    Hi all
    I am very new to the mac world. Basically I need to know how I can connect my Macbook Pro 13" to a 5/1 set of speakers.
    Do I need something to plug to mini display port?
    Thanks

    I conclude that I cannot use any 5.1 Computer Speaker sets that go with my Macbook Pro 13 and get a real Dolby sound,right?
    "Computer speakers" Basically no. They mosty are either stereo analog (for music playback) or 5.1 gaming PC speakers that are married to a 5.1 sound card for PC towers.
    You would have to have a stereo reciever and 5.1 speakers that can accept:
    1: Toslink optical inputs
    2: Decode Dolby Surround Sound
    3: The media your playing back must have a Dolby sound option.
    Most 5.1 computer speaker setups are for gaming PC towers and takes a sound card that does the processing for each channel, has three analog wires
    Wire 1: Left and Right front channels
    Wire 2: Left and Right rear channels
    Wire 3: Subwoofer and center, common ground (returns all the used electrons to complete the loop)
    Your Mac has none of these, it's just a stereo analog, 2.0, a left and right channel, common ground (three sections on the plug)
    So no you can't use a PC based 5.1 system on a Mac, unless you bridge the first two wires either with adapters or splicing the cables. Then it's not true surround sound, just two stereo channels that fills the room with sound.
    With true surround sound, you can hear people creep up behind you, bullets whizz by your face, planes flying past overhead. It's a more immersive experinece.
    So unless the "computer 5.1 speakers" has it's own Toslink optical inputs and decodes Dolby (and other) surround sound formats, has a built in amplifier to power speakers, then no. As most 5.1 comptuer speakers are designed for PC 3D gaming, thus inexpensive.
    The Mac market for 3D gaming is rather small, tiny in fact. I haven't seen any "computer speaker" setup with the required stuff to playback true suround sound.
    Mac's are used for music and video production, that's why they have the better optical ports.
    Your just going to have to buy a home theater system to playback Dolby 5.1

  • How do I connect multiple bluetooth devices to macbook pro

    Hi,
    I would like to connect bluetooth headset(Bose), my Magic mouse together to my macbook pro. 
    Also, If possible, I would like to use bluetooh headset and wired headset at the same time.
    Is it possible, if yes, could some one guide me.
    Regards
    Sandy

    Multiple Bluetooth devices may be connected to your computer at the same time.
    Set up differs from device to device. The Bluetooth set up assistant should find new devices when they are turned on and in range of your computer.

  • How do i connect a cinema display to macbook pro

    I got a hand-me-down cinema display from my work for hookup to my macbook pro - there are 4 different connections attached and I don't know what goes where.

    You can connect to a Thunderbolt port with
    <http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/B/mini-displayport-to-dvi-adapter>
    or the HDMI port with
    <http://www.startech.com/Cables/Audio-Video/Video-Adapter/HDMI-to-DVI-D-Video-Cab le-Adapter-M-F~HDMIDVIMF>
    If the display uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)
    <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
    you will also need a DVI to ADC adapter.

  • HT2494 How do I connect my TV to my macbook air. The socket I used on my white macbook is not present?

    Have just bought a Macbook Air and the socket I used to use to connect my Macbook (White) to the TV when watching video is missing. What can I do?

    The new MacBook Air has a Thunderbolt port. Apple introduced this form factor with the Late 2008 model (then called MiniDisplay Port. I suspect your MacBook had a Mini-DVI port. So you'll need to purchase an adapter for this computer as well as any additional cabling.

    Don't pay any mind to the fact that it says MiniDisplay Port and not Thunderbolt, it's backwards compatible.

  • How to remove superglue from LCD screen of Macbook Pro?

    I know this sounds ridiculously stupid. Unfortunately, I somehow managed to get superglue on my mom's Macbook screen. Theres two droplet sized marks near the center and I feel really bad. Is there any possible solution below changing the entire screen?

    Acetone, is what breaks down super glue, use it on a q Tip and try to absorb it of the screen (dab),( this may take a few times to get it all) do not rub!   First try it or the lacquer thinner Shootist mentioned, but try it in the corner of the screen first to make sure it will not cause damage. After it is removed use a screen cleaner with a micro fiber cloth such as Clean it, or an eyeglass cleaner that is safe for glasses with treated lenses.  MAKE SURE TO HAVE THE COMPUTER TURNED OFF! Also support the screen from behind and use minimal pressure.  Good Luck.
