How do I program Macbook to watch it on tv?

How do I program my MacBook pro?  I have the right cord hooked up to the right ports.  I have the tv import set and the tv screen displays the initial screen of the makcbook pro on the tv, but I cannot get it to display the movie or anything else.  Help please.

Thank you eww,
I found the problem,  I needed to go to Finder, the guy with two faces,then under the heading, places and click on applications. Then to system preferences, the heading says Display/arrangements/color. I clicked on arrangements, and another window opened.  Under the box it said mirrow display.  I checked it, and I did not have to slide windows over.  The macBook pro screen played on the tv.
Thank you, your suggestion of sliding the screens over gave me the clue to figuring it out.
Thank you again,
Michele

    How well does a Macbook pro and a Macbook air run Xcode, Photoshop and Dreamweaver?

    MacBook Pro - no problem, it is an extremely popular computer for running that software. Just look at the Adobe demo videos of their products, most of the time you can see a MacBook Pro running the software in their video.
    MacBook Air - should be just as good most of the time.
    However, if you get involved in heavy Photoshop work like highly stacked layers/masks/channels, 16 bits per channel or up, or merging HDR or panoramas, the MacBook Pro may be better because it can take 16GB RAM while the MacBook Air can take only 8GB RAM.
    Also, if you are going to do serious programming in XCode or Dreamweaver, you may find the MacBook Air screen to be too small for all of the code windows and tool palettes that you may want to open and arrange in those programs. The 15" Retina screen of the MacBook Pro will let you spread out your work and do less window switching. The 11/"13" MacBook Air screens are both smaller and non-Retina so not as sharp.
    Even Photoshop is nicer on the 15" MacBook Pro because of the extra screen space for the image with less intrusion by the tool palettes.
    In short, if you are a casual user the MacBook Air will be great. If you are a professional with a heavy workload the MacBook Pro may be more efficient overall due to the larger screen and higher RAM capacity.

  • HT1657 Once rented movie is downloaded, how do I find it to watch?

    Once rented movie is downloaded, how do I find it to watch?

    I just rented a movie on my iPhone 4 and wanted to transfer it to my MacBook Pro. I then read Apple's FAQ and learned this:
    Can I play my rental on more than one device?
    *If you download a rented movie on your computer:* You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4, iPod touch (4th generation), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    *If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation), or Apple TV:* It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

  • 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.

    Did you purchase your MacBook Air new?  Do you still have its box?  Locate its serial number and telephone Apple at the number shown at the bottom of this page (1-800-MY-APPLE if you're in the U.S.).  They can help you.

  • How to get my macbook to connect to the Apple TV?

    How to get my macbook to connect to the Apple TV in a strange apartment? I am housesitting for someone for a few months.

I am using their basic wifi in the apt, which works fine on my macbook and iphone, but see no Apple TV icon appearing on macbook screen, nor any connection happening. (nor is there anything connection w my iPhone). What gives? How can I establish a connection?

    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 know my macbook pro supports usb2 or usb3?

    How to know my macbook pro supports usb2 or usb3 ?
    And if it is USB 2, will external hardisk which support usb 2 would be compatible with & vice-versa?
    What would be the cons?

    USB 3.0 ports were only added to those MacBook Pros that were released in mid 2012 and later.
    So you would have USB 2.0 ports on your machine.
    But USB 3.0 and 2.0 are 'compaitble,' somewhat - you just won't be able to get the throughput of a USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 connection.
