How do I wirelessly connect my iPad 4 to a Sony Bravia TV?

My Sony Bravia KDL-32W653A recognises that my iPad4 is on my LAN. But I just can't get the iPad content ( videos ) to show up on the TV screen.
The iPad Settings shows the " direct -GC-Bravia" other connection, but it wants to revert to my (John Lewis wireless connection.
If I tap on the other, Bravia panel I am asked for a password. I don't have a password for it and never have had. If I try to use my Apple password or that of my Sony support log-in or even my LAN home group , the iPad just messages:-  "Unable to connect to Diect-GC-Bravia"
I seem to go round in circles and get nowhere- Can anyone out there who has an iPad 4 (retina display AND a Sony Bravia TV help me please?
Maybe even a Sony employee? who owns a similar iPad?

You dont.  Apple won't allow widely used standards and Sony is so behind the times in this area it's painful and almost as bad.  Apple forces you to buy an Apple TV whereas Sony forces you to own an android phone to do this natively.  Surprise!
disappointed I started my smartphone tenure with Apple; had no idea how badly it was going to burn me in about 100 different ways over the years.  All they have on android these days is more efficient hardware...: and since they don't take advantage of it... It's a moot point at the price premium.
as for Sony.  I just spent more than I did on my last car for their flagship and id be satisfied if it costed about 75% less and wasn't a "smart" TV.  Since it is - and this is 2015; the cost coupled with the inability to properly stream or mirror from.... Meh.  Not gonna waste another word.  If neither get it by now, they never will.  Talk with your wallet guys, it's the only language they understand.  Unfortunately they are wise enough to know the sheep outnumber dramatically so it's in vain anyhow.

    Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
    If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
    and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
    Good luck Derek

  • Connection mac pro and tv sony bravia

    Hi guys, I got a mac pro 13" with osx 10.8.2 and I'm trying to connect it with a tv sony bravia KDL-40V5500 via HDMI cable.
    I simply want to use the tv monitor as the mac monitor... I connect it with the cable dvi-hdmi but it doesn't work.
    the tv firmware is the latest version available ( 2010), I' ve also tried with a samsung tv and it works perfectly so I don't get why with this sony doesn't fit.
    the mac recognize the sony tv but the screen is always black... I tried with every hdmi port on the tv ( they're 4)
    I also wrote to sony support team but the response was that must be an error setting on the mac...
    every tips will be pleased

  • How to secure wireless connection with additional laptop and ipod touch.

    Hello,
    We are new to Mac and struggling with internet security. 
    We have a wireless internet dongle that connects into a USB port and some days our ipod touch can connect other days it cant, I am never prompted for a password to connect.  This morning we were setting up a new laptop for our daughter and it found our wireless network and informed us it was unsecured. So we assume anyone within range is utilising our wireless connection.
    If I turn on firewalls it shuts off everything, if we look at airport we get even more confused.
    Is there a simple way to resolve this so our internet connection is for our house only and new devises that try to connect need to enter a password.
    Thank you for your help!

    Describe the equipment in your network. Modem? Router?

  • No audio when connecting 2009 White Macbook to Sony Bravia TV

    Hello,
    I'm trying to connect my 2009 Macbook to my Sony Bravia TV but having problems with the audio.
    I'm using a Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter to connect the Macbook with a VGA cable connected to the back of the TV in the PC location.
    I'm trying to connect the audio from the Macbook to the TV using a two male 3.5 mm audio cable from the Mac's headphone jack to the audio port behind the TV under the VGA port.
    But no sound is coming from the TV. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
    Thanks.

    OK, I feel a little foolish. I had to rerun AutoProgram to let it rescan the channels. I had tried that but gave up too soon. When it hadn't found any channels at all when it was about 60% done, I assumed it wouldn't find any. I finally had the patience to let it run and it found the channels.
    Does anyone have a QAM channel lineup map for the Boston area?

  • Optical or analog cable for connecting Macbook 1,1 to Sony Bravia

    Hello
    I have found a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter (plus HDMI cable) to take the video  from a Macbook 1,1 (all white) to a Sony Bravia TV. Now I need to find the right cable to carry the audio from the Macbook to the Sony Bravia. The Macbook has an optical (digital) audio socket (output?) and the Sony Bravia has 3 HDMI ports and 5 apparent audio jack ports (no idea whether they are 2.5 or 3.5 mm and whether they are analogue or digital). Please could someone advise me which or what sort of audio cable I should buy.
    Here are the Mac specs.

    file:///Users/joylaw/Desktop/Picture%202.png
    Many thanks for any and all help

    OK. So I now have the sound connection working. The 3.5mm jack from the audio cable goes  into the headphone socket, NOT the optical (digital) audio socket on the Macbook, and the red and white jacks go into the respective red and white sockets (surprise, surprise) on the back of the Sony Bravia. I select 'Comp" as the input audio source in the TV settings, and the audio from the computer is broadcast perfectly from the TV internal speakers.
    I am now waiting for delivery of the mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and have a question related to this.
    The TV settings offer options for external devices corresponding to the ports on the TV, which include HDMI and Comp. When I have both the mini-DVI to HDMI and the audio cables connected, should I still choose Comp, or should I switch to HDMI as the external device. Will the TV be able to pick up input from 2 external devices at the same time although only one can be selected?

  • I can't connect my MBP to my Sony Bravia

    2009 MPB OS 10.5.8, 2.26 GHz Intel Processor, NVIDIA GeForce 9400m
    Sony Bravia “BRAVIA”
    Connected with a Gigaware Mdp to HDMI adapter, and a Radioshack 3ft. HDMI cable
    The MBP doesn't detect anything, hitting "Detect Displays" does nothing.
    The TV just says "no signal" or "unsupported signal"
    I've tried unplugging/replugging and turning on and off in every possible order.
    Any ideas?

    The cable is probably the problem.  Apple only supports an adapter from Mini DisplayPort to HDMI and a standard HDMI cable.  These all-in-one cables aren't supported.

  • How to tell wireless connection speed?

    Hi,
    I've just bought a new draft-n wireless router, I bought the Netgear DG834N as it has a Broadcom chipset in the hope that it will be more likely to interoperate with the Broadcom chipset in the iMac.
    My question is, how can I tell what speed my mac is connecting at via wireless? I'm running Leopard and I've looked in wireless status, just shows me what network and that it's using security. I also tried 'ifconfig en1' from the terminal, but that doesn't mention it either. The admin page of the router just shows connected MAC addresses, not what speed etc. that they are connecting at.
    Thanks in advance!

    I am still curious about iStat Pro. When I copy a large file over my network, AP Grapher will report 130/130 (presumably transferring at 130Mbps, however iStat will report 6MBps (48Mbps). Can any explain this?
    When discussing the “speed” of a given Wi-Fi device, it’s important to make a distinction between the unit’s theoretical maximum data transfer rate and what it actually does (the actual throughput). A Wi-Fi device’s data transfer rate refers to the speed at which data is transmitted to and from the device. For most 802.11n products currently available, including the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), this number hovers around 300 Mbps, which includes the video or audio media you’re streaming, as well as a large chunk of overhead and control data necessary to maintain security and reliability. 


    Alternately, the term “throughput” refers to the amount of video, music, Internet traffic, or gaming data that can pass through your wireless network under real-world conditions. For instance, even though 802.11g networks offer 54 Mbps data rates, the actual throughput is typically less than half the speed of the data transfer rate. Below, I’ve listed the data transfer rates as well as ballpark throughput rates you might encounter under real-world conditions. Your results may vary.
    Wi-Fi Standard / Data Transfer Rate / Throughput 
Rate
    802.11b / 11 Mbps / 4 Mbps
    802.11a / 54 Mbps / 23 Mbps
    802.11g / 54 Mbps / 19 Mbps
    802.11n / 300 Mbps / 82 Mbps

  • How do I wirelessly connect my iMac to my Bravia TV?

    I have a 27" iMac, an Airport Extreme, a Comcast router and a Bravia 46Hx750 Tv capable of wireless woopdedoddle.  Maybe I'm just too old, but I cannot firgure out how to get my TV to hook up to my wireless network (which I think I have).
    My TV has displayed a WPA key which it wants me to tell the router and this really stumps me.  Help.  Is 91 too old to do this?

    Hello Valerie,
    It sounds like you want to be able to see what you have on your computer screen, on your tv screen wirelessly.
    This function is called Airplay Mirroring and is done through an AppleTV found here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/ipod/ipod-accessories/apple-tv
    It is a device that attaches to your TV with an HDMI cable and when it is set up, will allow you to use the Airplay Mirroring function.
    Here is more info about it and how to get that setup:
