How do I get my Safari browser to display on a tv screen?

I purchased a VGA converter cable earlier today, and now have it hooked up to the TV. It is showing my desktop background, but will not show any of my icons or the video I would like to watch on the TV. Also, the audio is coming out incredibly quiet from the TV speakers, but I'm not as concerned about this issue. I just want to know how I can view videos and movies on my TV through my MacBook. Help!

Hi AmandaBenton,
The article below will explain how to use an external display with your Macbook Pro.
The "Mirror Displays" option will show whatever you are seeing on your Macbook Pro on your TV screen.
How to use multiple displays with your Mac
Video mirroring
Mirroring displays the same image on each display.
Make sure your additional display is properly connected and powered on.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Displays.
Click the Arrangement tab.
Enable (check) "Mirror Displays" in the bottom-left corner.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

  • On my new 4S, how do I get my contact pic to display on the full screen when that contact calls?  Now it displays as a thumbnail on the banner

    Right now when someone calls that I have a contact pic set for, it shows as a thumbnail on the right side of the banner (right corner of screen).  I want it to come up on the whole screen like I see other iphones do.  I was told at first that this happens when I use a pic not taken with my phone, such as an uploaded pic from my pc.  This is not the case, the only 2 that I have tried to do were pics taken with the iphone.  Can someone help me to get this corrected?  I have spent over 2 hours with verizon, they cannot figure it out and I also have a senior technical advisor at Apple trying to figure it out, but I am curious if anyone has come across this with the new 4S and how they fixed it.  The senior apple advisor thinks it has something to do with syncing my contacts through itunes or google.

    Is it because the portable drive is NTFS format and the Mac wont recognise this? If so what do I do?
    Yes, this is exactly what is causing the problem. Macs cannot write to NTFS formatted drives, only read. You must move the documents to the internal HDD/SSD of the Mac to be able to edit them.
    Or, since you say you don't want to move the documents to the internal storage, you'll need to format the external HDD as FAT32.

  • How do i update my safari browser on macbook pro

    how do i update my safari browser on my macbook pro?

    If it's a version prior to 5.1.10, run the Software Update pane of System Preferences.
    If it's version 5.1.10, you need to upgrade the computer's OS. Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data before upgrading. Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • I downloaded Firefox 3.6 and now my tool bar is gone. No back arrows, forward arrows, file, edit, view, history, bookmark, tools....how do I get my web browser to look like a regular browser again?

    I downloaded the new Mozilla web browser and I had a Bing homepage setting. I changed back to yahoo but I ever since downloading I dont have any back arrows, forward arrows, file, edit, view, history, bookmark, tools, address bar....how do I get my web browser to look like a regular browser again?

    For details of how to restore the menus see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/menu+bar+is+missing]
    Once the menus are back, you can use the View menu, then select Toolbars and click on the names of the toolbars to toggle displaying them.

  • HOW DO I GET THE OLDER BROWSER BACK???

    ORIGINAL REVISED QUESTION =
    AFTER ALL THAT ~ going through the whole MESS you have created and YOU TELLING ME that "in order to have a chance of getting my question answered ~ to give you ALL THE DETAILS I CAN", you REFUSE to accept is by saying, "Please keep the length of your question to 255 characters or less ..."!!! Are you INCAPABLE of saying that BEFORE I go through all the other MESS??? HOW DO I GET THE OLDER BROWSER BACK???
    ORIGINAL QUESTION = I had SEVERAL plugins that WORKED!!! Then, I "upgraded" {as you, LAUGHINGLY, claim} to your Firefox 4 version after being promised by you that it's BETTER and, supposedly, an IMPROVEMENT over the older version. After I installed the NEW one ~ IT TURNED OFF ALL MY PREVIOUS PLUGINS!!! Your WISHTHEYWUZ "PROGRAMMERS", very cleverly {and, actually, HATEFULLY} ummmm, kinda "forgot" to make the new browser BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE so that it didn't DESTROY everything we, already, had ~ that WORKED before YOU got hold of it!!! So, now, *HOW* do I get the OLDER version back??? I think you should KNOW what you can do with this newer "UPGRADE" that is, actually, a LIE!!! UPGRADES do NOT take you in REVERSE ~ making things WORSE ~ real upgrades make things BETTER!!! DUH-H-H-H!!!
    ORIGINAL DETAILS =
    I, recently, purchased a new HP 4500 Printer and it came with a video-capture extension/plugin. Attempting to use it, the program informed me that I needed to be using, either, an EI or a Firefox Browser mentioning version 1.5 {I think it was} or later. The Firefox browser I was using was 3.something; so, everything was going along FINE. When I installed the video capture program, it added the plugin to the browser ~ PERFECTLY!!! I, also, had MANY other plugins that worked and that I used somewhat regularly!!! NOT ANY MORE!!! YOU and your TOTALLY INEPT, WISHTHEYWUZ "PROGRAMMERS" have STOLEN nearly HALF of my COMPUTER!!! I can, no longer, USE ANY OF THOSE PLUGINS, simply, because YOU "forgot" {let's say} to INCLUDE them in your new browser version 4. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THEM??? WHY DIDN'T *YOU* WANT ME TO BE ABLE TO USE THEM, ANY LONGER???
    Apparently, YOU think that the computer world revolves around YOU and that YOU are its AXIS!!! You feel that YOU have NO RESPONSIBILITY to make YOUR programs in any way compatible with what is, already, available ~ according to the "advice" I noticed on one of YOUR pages WHILE REACHING THIS ONE, you said that everybody else must accommodate YOUR claimed "improvements" that do nothing but DESTROY!!!
    All I want is for YOU to, either, MAKE YOUR VERSION 4 COMPATIBLE; or, advise me on HOW to get the EARLIER version back that *IS* compatible. Otherwise, I'll switch to a different browser and advise all others over whom I have any influence to do the same for the sake of their overall computering enjoyment!!!
    PLEASE ADVISE!!!
    I see that you have provided {below this window} a space for, likely, a SINGLE Extension / Plugin. Therefore, a PARTIAL LIST follows ~
    ArcSoft Video Downloader Extension 2.0.0.8
    Copy to Wordperfect Lightning 1.0
    Google Photos Screensaver 2.0
    HP Smart Web Printing 4.5
    iWinGames Plugin 1.5
    Microsoft.NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1
    RAW Thumbnail Viewer 2.0.0.11
    Real Player Browser Record Plugin 1.1.3
    TVU Web Player 2.5.3.1
    Yahoo! Toolbar 2.1.3.20100310105313

    THANK YOU, TREMENDOUSLY, for the responsive information!!! Although, the WISHTHEYWUZ "programmers" and those that are, actually, controlling and "in charge" of this website ~ you know who I mean ~ those that are so SUPERB at, ONLY, "PASSING THE BUCK" in order to get the regular USERS to answer the questions directed at THEM {as mine was}!!! In that way, of course, they EVADE countless issues and what would be EXTREME PANGS OF GUILT to anyone that "stood responsible" for their actions!!! Regardless, even though, "THEY" continued to lay the blame for the SHODDINESS & EXTREME INEPTNESS OF *THEIR* PROGRAMMING ATTEMPTS onto others ~ the links that *YOU* were kind enough to share with me *DID*, in fact, get my older ~ MUCH MORE USABLE browser back!!! Of course, NOW, the shoddy WISHTHEYWUZ "PROGRAMMERS" have rigged everything so that I will be HOUNDED and HARASSED in order to try to FORCE the crappy version 4 back onto me!!! I, still, wanna provide YOU with all the ACCOLADES possible!!! Your desire to attempt to HELP OTHERS is, truly, a remarkable characteristic in today's world of SELFISHNESS and UNGODLY attitude problems!!!

    == This happened ==

    While searching for an answer to this problem, which I am also having, I realized coolchaser might be attached to my "Gamers Unite" toolbar I have installed for FarmVille on facebook. No idea why it occasionally pops up in my browser though. Might have been one of those 'automatically installed' programs that came with the toolbar.

  • How can I get Captivate to revert to the top of the screen for each slide after published?

    I have a project captured in 1024x768.  If the user has many toolbars in browser, they have to scroll to see the whole screen.  If they use F11 in IE, this virtually eliminate the problem.  In MAC however, there is no F11 feature.  So, how can I get the published Captivate file to load each new screen at the top scroll position?  I have tried changing the html and tried adding Multiple Actions on success to click boxes with Go to Next slide and Execute JavaScript command: onload='window.scrollTo(0,1)'.  Neither are working.  Any idea how to get the screens to stop holding the previous screen position?
    Thanks!

    Hi GoldenCJ,
    Please remove "onload" from your javascript command. The "onload" event is fired when a html page(or any other page for that matter) is loaded. In your case the page is already loaded, that is, the page is loaded again when the user moves from one slide to another. Hence your javascript will not  be executed.
    So just have
    "window.scrollTo(0,0)" as your javascript.
    This should work fine.
    P.S. The execution of the javascript is browser dependent and browser settings dependent.I tried with chrome,IE 6 and FF 3.5, it is working. Please make sure that your target audience have javascript enabled in their browser.
    Thanks

  • Why does my safari browser frequently gives me a gray screen? I resetted my safari many times and it doesn't help. Also sometimes when I scroll it gives me this weird scrolling effect where everything is either upside or messed up.
