How to connect MacBook Pro 15" (2011) to HD TV?

I have bought brand new MacBook pro 15-inch model with highest specifications in this June. I have also installed newest Mac OS, Lion.
I would like to ask you how could I connect my MacBook to HD TV? It looks like it has only the "Thunderbolt" connection for "Apple" monitors.
Thank you in advance.

So should I buy this:

    How to connect macbook pro to panasonic hd tv with hdmi cable

    Hi m,
    It depends which MPB you have and the inputs on the TV. The following assumes your TV has an HDMI input which will work with a computer.
    This is if your MBP is from April 2010 or newer:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241
    First connect the adapter to the MBP and the HDMI cable from the adapter to the TV, then go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > select HDMI.
    Or if your MBP is older than that and you have a Mini DisplayPort, you can use something like this: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CBLMDPHDMID/
    If it's older than that, for video you need a DVI or mini DVI to HDMI or whatever input your TV has. For audio, you need a 3.5mm stereo mini plug to RCA or optical (Toslink), depending on what audio input your TV has.

  • How to connect MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50

    Any experience with cables for connecting MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50 (or similar)?

    It depend upon the model (age) of you MBP.  If you have a Thunderbolt or minidisplay port, then you will need a minidisplay/HDMI adapter.

    Or you can get an all in one:

    If you have an older mac with a DVI port, you will need something like this:
    http://www.amazon.com/DVI-HDMI-Cable-6ft-Male-Male/dp/B0002CZHN6
    Note that audio is supported via HDMI for MBPs 2010 and later.  Earlier ones require tapping the audio output port.

  • How to connect Macbook Pro to Samsung Flat Screen TV

    How do i connect my Macbook Pro (2-3 years ago) to Samsung Flat screen TV (Samsung UN22F5000 22-Inch 1080p 60Hz Slim LED HDTV). Currently, I just discovered that my HDMI port on the TV said "DVI". So, i came to the conclusion that I need to get the DVI to HDMI cable (male-male), and mini display-port to DVI (female) adapter cable for Macbook Pro. The question is am I correct?
    I have tried looking at the back of the Samsung flat screen, but there has no VGA to PC port (female). Therefore, i googled and tried to find a way to connect my Mac to the Samsung flat screen TV. As i mentioned above, I came to the conclusion that I need those things. I just want to make sure that my assumption is correct. Thank you

    Dear Varjak Paw,
    Thank you for replying to this topic. Yes, it is true that there are 2 HDMI ports. However, one of the HDMI ports has something written on it, which is (HDMI In 1 STB). While, the other one stated "HDMI In 2 DVI". Moreover, I tried to plug in the HDMI cable into HDMI In 2 DVI, and it doesn't fit. While, plugging in to the STB does fit. Do you know what are the differences?
    Thank you
    Sincerely yours,

  • How to connect Macbook Pro using thunderbolt to older TV

    Hi everyone. I'm trying to view streaming video from my MacBook Pro using the thunderbolt port to an older TV that doesn't appear to have an HDMI port (probably not an HD TV). I've tried using the VGA and S-Video (TV has both ports) using adapters, and tried F8 but nothing works. I am trying not to buy a Roku or similar right now, and have a variety of cables and adapters. Ideas anyone?
    I know that VGA and S-Video won't carry audio, assume I can just connect an audio cable to the earphone port right?
    Thanks in advance! Kate

    "Note that you'll have to change the input/source to the input you used from the MBP." Can you elaborate a bit?
    Let's say you have 2, 3 or 4 different things hooked up to your TV (Tivo, DVD player, X-Box). The TV needs to know which one you want to watch, so you have to select the proper input (the place where the Tivo etc. is hooked up to). This is called the input or source, and needs to be selected in the TV's menu. Make sense?

  • How to connect macbook pro 15 inch to hdtv ?

    Hi support community,
    I want to connect a mid 2012 macbook pro to my HDTV, but this model has no mini display port, HDMI or VGA port, only thunderbolt and firewire ports. I had a look through the accessories but can't find anything. Am I missing something obvious? I do have a mini display port to VGA adapter from when I had a macbook previously, could this be utilised?
    Thanks in advance!

    You can use Mini Displayport in your Thunderbolt port.

  • How to connect macbook pro with hdmi? any ideas?

    hi,
    as the new macbook, doesn't have a dvi port but a faste thunderbols my good old dvi2hdmi cable is useless.
    any ideas, how to connect the new macbook to my hdmi tv?
    thx for help!

    Retina has a HDMI port.
    Others have a ThunderBolt, which is backward-compatible with Mini DisplayPort. Get a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, and make sure you insert it until essentially ALL of the metal end is inside the jack, and you will be in business.

  • How to prepare macbook pro 13" 2011 for sale without any disks?

    I am selling my MacBook Pro and would like to know how to completely erase all my information from the laptop? So the the person purchasing can open it like if they barely bought it.

    Depending what information is on your hard drive, you may want to take out the hard drive and smash it with a sledge hammer. Just because information is deleted, doesnt mean its gone. The computer just treats the space as empty and will write over it when it needs the space. Informations can still be recoverable even when it is written over. Poeple make their livings off of buying computers or hard drives people sell, digging through the hard drive and finding old information, and using it. They could find your passwords, credit card numbers, social security number, anything that you put on there. So be careful what has been on hard drives when you sell them.

  • How to connect Macbook pro to a projector with the Mini Display to VGA adapter?

    When I connect them nothings happens, the display has a blue screenshot for a few seconds and then get back to the normal view of my desktop. It's the same if I digit "cmd+F2"... Please help me.

    The default method for adding a second display is called Mirroring. It uses a lowest-common-denominator approach to choosing display resolution, and often guesses wrong.
    System preferences > Displays > ( Arrange) and drag the superimposed representations of the two displays away from each other to invoke "Extended desktop" instead. Then you should be able to set the resolution for the projector to a more reasonable one, and your picture should appear.

  • EXACTLY what cable(s) do I need to connect my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to an external display with a 2560x1440 resolution?

    I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro (early 2011 w/ Intel HD 3000/ 384Mb) to an external display with a 2560x1440 resolution. Specifically, what cable/connections do I need to display at this resolution? I cannot get the display to work using a "Thunderbolt to HDMI" or a "Thunderbolt to DVI" connector.  Note:  I used both older and newer (uni-directional) HDMI cables on the first config, and a Dual-link DVI cable on the second config.   Apple specs state this is possible ( support.apple.com/kb/SP619 ), but I am at a loss as to how this can be done.  Thanks in advance for the help!

    You use a Mini DisplayPort to either HDMI or dual-link DVI adapter. If that component doesn't work, something's wrong with either the cable or something else in the connection.

  • What is the problem with 15-inch Macbook Pro model 2011 after connecting to TV with HDMI chord?

    Today we connected a 15-inch Macbook Pro model 2011 with HDMI chord to an Insigna Television. We plugged and unplugged couple of times. But recently the macbook pro is having technical issues. The following symptoms are:
    1. Macbook pro turns on and off
    2. The screen stays blue and keeps loading but does not load to the desktop so you can't access to anywhere
    3. The screen sometimes becomes fuzzy and the apple logo that shows before it loads to the desktop is fuzzy
    4. Sometimes fuzzy lines appear on the screen like you see on television when there's a bad signal
    5. The screen stays blue
    6. Sometimes little specks appear on the screen
    Only thing we did was turn it off and restart but it still leads to the same symptoms above.
    Does anyone have any clue what caused this problem? I am guessing it is due to the connection to the HDMI chord, since we didn't turn the macbook on and off when we plugged it, rather we just unplugged and plugged the chord while the macbook is running.
    Another theory might be watching movies from an online source but the first theory seems to make more sense.
    We scheduled a meeting with the genius bar tomorrow but does anyone might have any clue? And also any ideas how to fix this? This is an emergency because there are important files on the macbook we didn't back up and we hope the files are safe and we need to use the macbook ASAP. Let us know anything that might have caused this and/or any solutions or help. That would be appreciated and thank you.

    Hey there! Welcome to the Discrete GPU issue clube ... post your relate here >>> 2011 MacBook Pro and Discrete Graphics Card
    And for GOD SAKE! Call Apple to tell them that you're another user with such problem ...  that action can improve a future recall. BTW the fix price for your problem is around U$ 1000,00 ... that's the meaning of the recall attempt

    How do i use my imac 21.5" 2011 as a display for my macbook pro late 2011, through thunderbolt cable ? I have tried and it doesnt seem to work, neither does target disk mode.
    Could it be a borked cable ? I just bought it new from the store today, i have updated both imac and macbook pro to latest thunderbolt firmware and updates. Both 10.7.3.
    MacBook Pro:
      Vendor Name:    Apple, Inc.

    You are correct, here is what Apple Says:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3775
    I was able to find these instructions, however they referr to 2009-2011 27" iMacs. I think it's the same, if it's not then contact Apple directly for instructions. If either of the machines is less than 90 days old or covered by AppleCare then call AppleCare tomorrow for help, they should be able to easily answer this for you. You will find the number in your manual or you can use the AppleCare Contact Info link.
    Your iMac should automatically recognize the presence of a digital video signal at the Mini DisplayPort and enter Target Display Mode.
    If your iMac does not automatically enter Target Display Mode, press command + F2 to manually enter Target Display Mode.

  • My MacBook Pro (Early 2011) will constantly loose it's internet connection.

    Okay, so I have wireless internet service which works great. I have an android smartphone, an HP laptop and a MacBook Pro (early 2011). My android smartphone and my hp computer both connect perfectly to the wireless network. On the other hand, my Mac connects at times but it rapidly looses connection. All of the wifi bars on the mac appear as if the computer was connected, but there is no connection. Does anyone know how to fix this? It's getting very annoying because I have to turn my wifi (on the mac) on and off to get internet connection again. I would really like to receive uninterrupted internet coverage on all my devices, including my mac. PLEASE HELP!

    I am having the same issue. My macbook pro is one of the models from late last year. Within the past few weeks I have been getting disconnected from my wifi for no reason. It still shows that I am connected but nothing will load. When I dissconect and reconnect it loads up fine and everything works again, though in another 10 minutes it will crash again.

  • Connecting my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to my Sony LCD TV (KDL-46XBR6) and listening to Multichannel surround sound.

    Dear all,
    I am attempting to connect my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to my Sony LCD TV (KDL-46XBR6) via the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI. I have successfully connected the two devices and can select "SONY TV XV" in the sound preference pane. I can see and hear what I'd like, however, I can only monitor the sound in 2 channel stereo. I have my TV connected to a Sony 7.1 audio receiver via an optical cable and can monitor 7.1 sound via other sources (Blu-ray, broadcast, etc). When I go into the Audio Midi Setup utility, I am unable to configure my speakers to be anything but 2 channel stereo. I am given the options for "2ch-16bit", "2ch-20bit", "2ch-24bit" and "Encoded Digital Audio". When I select "Encoded Digital Audio", my output automatically changes to Built-in Output. Has anyone been able to successfully resolve this issue? Thanks for all your help!
    Gregg

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.
