How do I safely eject a HDMI cable from my macbook pro?
Also, every time i do so i lose the ability to use my volume buttons on the keyboard and have to restart my machine to fix.
I have a brand new Macbook Pro 15" Retina display.

What version of the system are you running on your MacBook Pro? Is it new enough to have the Messages application? If so, add your iMessages account to your Messages Application.

Cant hear audio using an hdmi cable from my MacBook Pro to an HDTV

i'm trying to watch video and streaming video from my McBook Pro on an HDTV via an HDMI cable. i can see the video but there is no sound. help?

What year was your Mac made, IE what Model year is it and what model is it?
With newer Macs all you need is a good Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter, I know the Griffin model work as I have one, and a HDMI cable.
If a Retina model that has a HDMI out port then you don't need any adapters of any kind. Just a cable from HDMI to HDMI ports on Mac and TV.
Once you have a good adapter, if you need one, and the cable is connected to the TV go into System Preferences and the Sound Applet and there should be an option in the Output section for HDMI. Enable that and the sound will be sent over the HDMI cable to the TV.
If you have an older Mac computer then you may need to use a separate cable from the Mac headphone out port to a Line In port on the TV

How do I get sound on my TV from mo macbook pro?

How do I get sound on my TV from mo macbook pro?

Depends on what you want to do, do you want to play music or video?
If you have a Macbook that supports thunderbolt just connect it with a hdmi cable (if you want picture as well). If your mac doesn't support thunderbolt you could connect via the standard headphone jack. But still it depends on what you want to do. So...
What do you want to play... (music, video)?
What does your tv support (hdmi, digital audio (s/pidf?)?
This helps narrowing down your solution.

Trying to connect a Belkin brand audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV. Cannot get any sound from the laptop out of the TV. What am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to connect a Belkin brand stereo audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV (Apple "genius" handed me the cable to purchase.) I have tried all the ports in the back of the Sony, and tried the volume on both the cable and TV remotes. I cannot get sound out of the Sony from my MacBook Pro laptop. What am I doing wrong???

Downloaded your operating manual. It appears that you need to connect the HDMI to HDMI 1 and the audio to the input socket just to the right of the VGA socket (i.e., between the VGA and the RF input connection). The picture on page13 seems to be the clearest I could find:
Although it's not exactly clear I think they are talking about a standard 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo jack for the audio inpu as opposed to the more common RCA jacks used in the row just above that VGA input socket.
I haven't checked the manual as yet whether you need to set anything special with the controls other than input select.
Note, if that truly is a 3.5 mm stereo jack cables are very common. In your case it would just be a cable with a 3.5 mm jack on each end.
Update:
You will have to experiment with this but I think you will need to try pusing the input button to select either HDMI1 or PC (or Component?). The manual is not clear on this (page 31). Sometimes it just comes down to pushing buttons.

How do I know what files to remove from my Macbook Pro laptop?

Apparently my hard drive is full and I need to remove files so I have space to download more music and movies. I don't want to delete important files. How do I go about doing this?

How do I know what files to remove from my Macbook Pro laptop?
Remove only files you yourself stored on the laptop; files in your Home folder. Don't delete any files from the system libraries, and if you want to remove applications, use the provided uninstallers.
For files in the media libraries - iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie use the application to delete music, photos, movies.
If you are planning on storing more movies and music on your mac, deleting old files will probably not suffice alone to free enough space. Consider to get yourself an external drive to store your media.

Have you tried resetting the iPhone and rebooting the Mac? I don't think iPhoto has an import size limitation, but if you still have trouble then perhaps using a cloud service like Dropbox as an intermediary will get the job done.

TS3899 How can I see again the emails sent from my MacBook Pro on my iPhone 4?

Hi. I have a iPhone 4 connected to a Yahoo email account. I used to be able to see the emails sent from the device on the sent mailbox and the emails sent from the MacBook Pro on an automatically created folder called "Sent Messages" that disappeared. I tried deleting the account and creating it again, both on the computer and on the iPhone, but the problem persists. Any idea on how I can solve this problem?

On your Mac
in your Mail App, open the folders on the left hand side, by clicking SHOW on top.
GO down, where your email acount is and unfold.
Select the SENT folder. If you cant find it, it means it's already used as your SENT folder. Skip next step.
In Mail App Menu select MAILBOX -> USE THIS MAILBOX FOR -> SENT
Maybe that does the trick?

Is there an adaptor to hook up an HDMI cable to a MacBook Pro?

hi there,
I have an old MacBook Pro i think dating back to 2000. I can't connect an HDMI cable in order to hook it up to my TV,
did they come up with a converter for this issue??
thanks for your help

okay this is what it says:
OBS,MACBOOK PRO (17-INCH)
model identifier:
MacBookPro1,2
model number:
MA092xx/A
Configuration:
17"/D2.16G/1G/120/SD-DL
Not even sure that this is it, but when i click on the apple button, here's what i get in the USB section:
USB Bus: Bluetooth USB Host Controller, IR Receiver, Built-in-iSight...
does that help?

How do I safely retreive my harddrive contents before having MacBook Pro repaired?

I have a MacBook Pro model A1260 with a broken logicboard. How do I safely and inexpensively retreive my harddrive contents before having it repaired? I am also considering purchasing a used one and swapping out the harddrive. Thank you.

Thank you, I thought this as well but they told me they do need the hard drive because when they send it out they test it to be sure every part is working. Also the technician said that he was 'pretty sure' it was the logicboard based on his diagnostics however cannot be sure until it is repaired. The suggestion was to pay $100 to have my data transfered and it would not be done on site.
