How do I get sound to play on my Samsung HDTV from my macbook pro?

I've been trying to figure out how to get sound to play on my TV from my laptop for several days now and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a solution to this. I bought an Mini Display Port to HDMI converter (Kanex Iadapt) off Amazon that is supposed to have audio support. I connected it with the HDMI cable to my TV and changed my display settings to mirror and the picture comes up fine but when I tried to change the output in sound settings to my TV my TV didn't even come up as an option. I went out and bought a Y audio cable figuring my laptop may be older than 2010 and needs an additional cable, plugged the audio cable into the same HDMI outputs in the TV and still no sound. I can't think of anything else!

I have an ancient LG 32" and a Thunderbolt/miniport-HDMI adapter that I bought from monoprice. I go through my Denon receiver through one of the HMDI ports and get sound and video on my TV. This is the one I bought - it carries audio and video and is under $7.
Could be worth a shot...

    WIndows can't find a better one than the installed LSI Conformed 1394 Hostcontroller

    Read and follow the Bootcamp Installation instructions that you were offered to view when you ran Bootcamp Assistant.
    Run Bootcamp Assistant again and select the option to download the Bootcamp Support software. Follow the instructions. Then boot into Windows and install the Windows Support software you downloaded and saved.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Did you fail to back up your pics?
    The photo sync is one way - comptuer to ipod.
    You can e-mail them to yourself (instructions in the manual), but they will not be of the original quality.

  • How do i get games such as fallout new vegas to work on macbook pro

    I recently bought the new macbook pro its my first mac and i have no clue how to get games to work on i would be so thankfull if anyone could tell me a step by step on what i need to do because i would not find videos where people clearly say what to do. i am i gamer and ive had enought of xbox's and ps3's breaking down on me and i also needed a new laptop so i got the mac i use if for my school work and serching the web but i really would love to play games on it.
    This is my Macbook pro:
    13 inch
    2.3ghz dual core
    intel core I5
    4gb 1333mhz
    320gb 5400-rpm
    intel HD Graphics 3000
    Thanks for your Time

    The game in question is not currently supported by Mac OS X.
    That being said you can still use your Macbook Pro to play this game, it simply requires a few additional steps.
    Apple has designed a feature called Bootcamp that will allow you to split your internal hard drive into two independant drives, and facilitate you installing Windows to the second partition.
    You will need to have a legitimate copy of Windows XP, Vista or 7.
    Once Windows is installed you can install your games to THAT OS and play to your hearts content.
    Here is the BootCamp FAQ if you are interested.

  • How can I get my built in camera on my 15" retina display Macbook Pro to work with online websites, such as chatroulette, etc.?

    I just purchased a 15" Macbook Pro with retina display.
    How can I get my webcam to be compatable online with websites such as chatroulette, etc?
    I have the latest version of flash, my system is updated, and my camera works on photo booth, skype, etc.
    Whenever I try to access sites such as the one above the green light doesn't turn on and nothing happens, what can I do to fix this?

    Have you tried a PRAM reset?

    If you look in the audio output port, is there a red light showing.  If so, the internal switch is stuck..  Insert the headphones a few times, jiggle a toothpick inside or shot some compressed air to trip the switch.  If no success, have the Apple store genius bar technician do it.
    Ciao.

  • How do I get rid of a frequently occurring blue screen on my MacBook Pro Retina?

    Even as I type this question, a blue screen is frequently popping up for a good 5-10 seconds. It happens when I start up this computer, when I adjust the screen in order to get a view, or when I move the computer. Nothing appears to be disrupted other than the screen itself, for I can type even when the blue screen is flashing. My computer is a 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina, and I've had is since September. Other than this, I've encountered no problems. Any help would be apprecitated, and I hope I'm not the only one who has encountered this problem.

    Hello,
    It may be partially related to the discussion, but it appears that my imac (2013, intel, OS X 10.8.5) has misbehaved in a very similar manner. Here is a brief account in case it could help in some way:
    - perfect performance until today, when I tried to connect and external vga monitor;
    - imac does not detect the monitor, connected via a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter;
    - monitor works flawlessly, when connected to a dell laptop as an external display;
    - imac conects perfectly via the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter to the d-sub port of a smart tv;
    When the monitor is connected to the imac occasionally imac displays blank blue screen intermittently at random instants lasting about a second or so, once a few seconds. When the monitor is turned off the problem disappears.
    I am unable to find out why the imac would not detect the external display and the intermittent blue screen when the external monitor is on is even more baffling.

  • How long does it take to delete an old user/administrator from my MacBook Pro?  Hours/Days?

    I just bought a new 2011 MacBook Pro and I want to give my late 2006 MacBook Pro to my niece for college.  It's in near-perfect condition.
    I'm trying to delete all of my user info and files.  I went ahead and created an account for her as an "administrator".  Then, I logged off from my account, logged in as her and then tried to delete my old account under System Settings / Accounts.
    I got as far as to remove the user account and to delete the home folder for my old user account.  Now it says "Deleting account..." under my user name.  It's been this way for about 6 hours.
    I have no way of knowing how long it takes, but does anyone know if it takes hours?  A full day?  With no status bar to indicate the deletion process, I have no way of knowing if my old computer is "stuck" or if it's actually working.  I have yet to try and stop the process for fear of screwing something up.  But if anyone has any idea how long this might take, I'd appreciate it so I can move on and do other things while this computer just "does its thing".
    Thanks!
    -CSI

    Cool.  Thanks for the response back.
    The late 2006 is running on OS X Lion (10.7). 
    As for the "Activity Monitor", where would I find that?  I tried to search for it...but nothing popped up.
    I did, however, "get info" on the hard drive icon and noticed that the available disc space has gotten bigger, which would indicate to me that there have been some program and file deletions during the course of the day.  In fact, when I started the process, there was only about 50Gb of disc space available.  But, it seems like that number has doubled, which indicates to me the disc space is slowly freeing up. 
    Again, it would be nice to some how know how long it would take.  Maybe this "activity monitor" is something I can find and see.

  • How can I get rid of white bar at top of desktop? MacBook Pro 10.5.8

    Hello,
    There is a 4" blank (or white) bar at the top RIGHT of my desktop, to the left of the Spotlight magnifier icon. The bar blanks out all of these drop-downs:  Open Time Machine Preferences, Detect Displays/Display Preferences, Open Bluetooth Preferences, Volume Bar, Open Network Preferences, inport Source, Battey Charge display/Energy Saver Preferences,  Date & Time set pref.
    Drives me nuts, to use a technical term! I can't see the time in the bar, can't adjust volume, can't check to see how many others are online in my condo complex. I like to try to go on when the highway isn't jammed up.
    Can anyone tell me how to remove that annoying blank white bar. I call it white because it covers the color on my desktop. That's why I don't think it's like a blank cell.
    Would appreciate any help and give BIG plaudits to anyone who can HELP!
    Thanks for reading this.

    Hi Clinton,
    I appreciate your suggestion and think I'll take your second suggestion. Been chiding myself for waiting so long to go with my begging bowl to the great Genius bar. Don't know if I'm ready to spring for the latest version, since everything else I need seems okay. You know how it is, it seems so simple: "If I could just get the key word the answer would pop up."
    It's really nice to know there is someone there reading these questions! Last time I asked a question I must have clicked on something incorrectly: my Inbox was flooded with replies, none of which even slightly addressed my problem, as you have.
    Thanks again and happy Sunday!

  • How do i get my photos i take on my iphone onto my macbook pro

    I am trying to figure out how to get photos from my iphone onto my macbook

    The same way you would from any digital camera:

    Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
    open iphoto, connect iphone, import photos

  • HT204350 How many hours (maximum) does it take to migrate 400  GB from one MacBook Pro to another MBP using Ethernet connection?

    How long do I need for migrating data from old MBP to a new MBP?

    The fastest way would be to connect the two computers over Firewire, start the new MBP in Target Mode, and either clone the whole hard drive from the old MBP or only copy across the things you need. Doing it that way would take about 1-2 hours depending on how much stuff you're copying.
    Ethernet would be a lot slower.

  • Can't get sound to play using audio line in

    I am trying to play audio from my iPhone by connecting mini plug cable to the headphone jack and the audio line-in mini plug.  The input level indicator in System Preferences > Sound is showing that audio is playing but I don't hear sound.  I do have sound playing through my Mac Pro with iTunes, steaming audio/video, etc., so I know it works.  Any ideas how I can get sound to play audibly using line-in?

    Another option not involving any additional software - see:
    http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87046-play-line-in-through-macbook-pro-in ternal-speakers/
    Just came across this problem myself (10.8) and that solution works great - just open Quicktime, there under File: choose a "new audio recording". In the upcoming controller switch up the volume.
    Weard that it works this way but nowhere else in the sound System Control panels ...

  • How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.

    How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.
    I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
    I get video every time.  HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
    just no audio.  Any suggestions? 
    I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
    I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

    Claudiamil-
    I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did.  I'm using a small Vizio HDTV.  I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers.  In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
    I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down.  Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.
