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.

    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.

    Note that audio is supported via HDMI for MBPs 2010 and later.  Earlier ones require tapping the audio output port.

    Hello Claire
    I presume you use your notebook with original preinstalled OS that you got with your notebook so it should work without problems.
    Connect your notebook to the TV with HDMI cable. If your TV has several HDMI ports please enable right port on TV and after doing this use FN+F5 key combination to switch from notebook to the TV.
    When you use FN+F5 key combination can you see several options including HDMI option?

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Having Problems connecting MacBook Pro to Panasonic TV

    Hello Forum!
    This is my first post on here. I am a long time mac lover and have recently been trying to connect my MacBook Pro to my 42inch Panasonic Viera TV (TX-P42X10B)
    I am using a DVI to VGA adapter and then a VGA to HDMI cable.
    Now my MacBook detects the 'Panasonic-TV' but the TV screen stays black.
    Now I have turned them both off and on at the same time and turned the resolution down as suggested on the my computers help - 'If the TV screen is black, select a lower resolution in Displays preferences.' But the screen stays black.
    I am selected the correct port on the TV by the way!!
    Thanks for reading and please help!!

    However, I still don't get a view of anything on the desktop except for the standard Apple swirl.
    Can you drag windows to the other display?
    In the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference, you can drag the display pictures to match the actual arrangement, drag the menu bar to the other display, or enable mirroring.

  • 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.

  • Help- Connecting Macbook Pro 13" to TV with S video only

    Hi guys,
    So I am trying to connect my Macbook Pro 13" 2009 model to my Tv at home so I can watch movies. My Tv is a Phillips Plasma
    and only has a S video and audio headset input available (no hdmi). My Macbook has a mini displayport input. I went into the
    Apple store and they suggested buying a s video cable, an audio cable and a Mini dvi to video adpater, which I did. The adapter however
    is not the right one and does not fit into any port on the computer. This is when I realised my Macbook has a mini displayport not a mini dvi port...
    any suggestions on what cables I can use to get my Macbook hooked up to the s video??
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thankyou!

    Bring it back and start over.

  • Macbook Pro to Television display with HDMI cords "No Signal"

    I cannot get my Macbook Pro to display on my LG TV when using an HDMI/mini port connection. I have checked the input and re-connected all of the cords, restarted the computer, etc. and I still see a "No Signal" sign jumping around my television screen.
    I am updated to the most recent software (OS X 10.8.2) as well.
    When I open displays (in System Preferences) it has "Show Mirroring Options..." checked off but no sign of my television.
    I have tried looking through all of the other discussions and can't seem to locate my problem - Help please!

    Early 2011 and later MacBook Pros have Thunderbolt, which is not 100% compatible with all mini-Displayport adapters.  Double check yours is by contacting the manufacturer.

  • Macbook Pro Retina not working with HDMI

    I have a Mac Book Pro Retina that will not work using the HDMI port. I have tried with two Monitors and difference cable and the issue happens on both. I connected one via a Display Port to VGA and it works fine.
    I'd like to use the HDMI port. I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.4 (Latest Version).
    I have tried deleting the pref panes as outlined in ofther links. Aslo reset pram without sucess.
    Is anyone using a Macbook Pro Retina with builtin HDMI port sucessfully with 10.8.4?
    If you are using HDMI with Display port let me know if I should get an adpater to test.

    Hi walkerheather,
    It sounds like you've already done most of the pertinent steps here:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    I would recommend going through once and trying anything you may have missed in the section "No video or no signal, image distortion, 'snow,' or flickering" and then follow these steps from the very bottom:
    If you tried all of these steps for your display and the video issues persist, contact Apple technical support or take your Apple computer to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).
    Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).
    Take care,
