    How do you watch netflix from your macbook to your hdtv

    Have you selected the appropriate input from the TVs perspective using the TV remote? If that isn't enough, check the settings in System Preferences > Displays, and if you don't have sound, System Preferences > Sound.

    If you have an iPad, iPhone or iPod get the NBC (free) Live Extra app. Then where ever you are with WiFi you can watch live broadcasts of everything happening.

  • How do i watch something from my macbook pro to my hdtv

    I want to watch a video that is downloaded on my macbook pro on my hdtv, how do i do this and what cables do i need to buy?

    Hi Shawn,
    It depends on exactly which MBP you have, but based on your machine information showing 10.5.1 (which I would update), for video you're going to need a DVI to whatever type of input your TV has. For audio, you'll need a 3.5mm stereo mini plug to RCA adapter.

  • How do I watch TV through my Macbook on my Sony Bravia?

    Firstly, I am not great with technology, so if you have answer, please explain in terms a five year old can understand!
    I have a macbook pro, six months old. I bought a Mini Display Port to HDMI cable.
    I plugged it into the Macbook and then into an HDMI socket on the back of my Sony Bravia but all I get is a Macbook purple screen on my TV screen.
    How would I get an MP4 I have downloaded to play on it?
    Thanks!

    Hi Johnnox,
    It sounds like your display is set to extended desktop; have you tried changing the display configuration to mirrored display?
    To do this. Go to the menu bar. click on the apple menu. Chose System Preferences. When System Preferences opens, click on the display icon. Then click on the tab called "arrangement." There will be a check box labeled "mirrored display," check this box.
    What you see on the tv should now match what you see on the MacBook.
    Good luck!

    how can i watch movies on my macbook and ipad from an external hard drive?

    Import it into an iTunes library and then sync the iPod with that library. If desired, create a new library on that drive by launching iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) key held down.

  • How do I connect my mid-2009 Macbook pro to my HDMI television and get sound?

    How do I connect my mid-2009 Macbook pro to my HDMI television and get sound?

    Use a mini-Displayport-to-HDMI adapter and a standard HDMI cable to connect the computer to the proper HDMI port on your computer — the one that is paired with the separate RCA audio inputs (see the TV's manual for this information). And connect the headphone port on your MBP to those inputs with a cable that has a 1/8' stereo headphone plug on one end and two RCA plugs on the other. You'll also need to select the proper HDMI input in the TV's menu system, and you may have to select the headphone port as the audio output in the Sound pane of System Prefs on the Mac (or it may be selected automatically).

  • I live in Chile and would like to watch movies from my MacBook to my JVC HD Television.. What cables do I need to purchase to do this?

    I live in Chile and would like to watch movies from my MacBook to my JVC HD Television.. What cables do I need to purchase to do this?

    You'll need a Mini-DVI adapter for the MacBook 4,1 and the iMac 8,1 and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini-DVI adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13
    (Composite is the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs.)
    You'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the Composite. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate audio input plugs on your TV.
    If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.

  • HT201343 When I mirror my macbook pro to my apple tv the only thing that shows up is one video that's on my desktop.  How can I watch something that's online on my laptop, on my apple tv?

    When I mirror my macbook pro to my apple tv the only thing that shows up is one video that's on my desktop.  How can I watch something that's online on my laptop, on my apple tv?

    Are you using mirroring or using airplay within iTunes? If you are truly mirroring then you can view anything that is displayed on your computer through Apple Tv
    Or provide more info on your issue

  • How do I watch downloaded movies on the macbook?

    Hi. I'm a new mac user, and I don't know everything about it yet. I'm wondering how I can watch downloaded movies or tv-shows on my macbook? I usually watch downloaded movies on vlc, but it doesn't work. I just don't get it. Hope someone can help me!

    I personally enjoy using DivX for watching movies. It supports a multitude of files.
    You can find it here: http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac
    Depending on the legitimacy of your downloads, certain sites may require you to install specific programs to run a specific file type that they host. If DivX doesn't work for you, then I would look deeper into the website to see if there's any additional software that may be of use to you there.

  • How do you watch an iMovie with this 11inch macbook air?!!?

    I have a research project for class and I made a short documentary on imovie... Now I know I can view it on my mac but how can i make dvds? or let alone present it to my class (i.e. dvd) my school does not use macs, so asking IT was useless. Basically my question is, how do you watch a movie created on imovie to a windows based computer??????..... it says the file is .m4v, i am not too sure if that helps. I know there are various cables out there, but college has enough hold on my money, something free would be awesome! I really would like to make a dvd, but i will settle for whatever now...

    You can play it using quicktime on a Windows computer - just be sure its installed and you're good to go.

  • How can I watch the Super Bowl on my Apple TV

    How can I watch the Super Bowl on my Apple TV?

    Last year, I had the Super Bowl streaming online to my macbook pro, and via AirPlay I streamed it to my Apple TV. I plan to do the same thing this year, except using my new iMac. Just need to find a website that is going to be streaming it. Foxsportsgo.com has said they will be streaming and will not required verification of an eligable paid cable/satalite subscription to watch the Super Bowl only. So crossing fingers that it works cause I don't get regular antenna signal where I live, nor do I pay for cable/satalite services.

  • How do I play video from my macbook pro to my tv?

    How do I play video from my macbook pro to my tv?

    What model MacBook Pro do you have? On my late 2011, I used to use a Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter to get video and audio from my Mac to my television. I used this adapter from Monoprice. Worked great - I just no longer use it because I bought a 27" monitor.
    You can also use AirPlay mirroring if you've the right MBP and an Apple TV - but the wired method works, too.
