How to connect Macbook to TV but have reverse picture?

I'm not sure how clear my subject is, but basically here's what I want to do. I know how to connect my macbook to the TV and have my macbook screen show up on my TV screen. I want to reverse that, I want what's on my TV to show up on my mac screen so I can stream the picture on the web. Is this possible to do? What supplies am I looking at getting to be able to do this? I want to be able to broadcast what's on my TV through my mac, but I would also like to be able to work on my mac at the same time. I might be dreaming now right?

I am having a problem with getting my tv to work as the monitor. i have the mini dvi port connected to a RGB input port in the back of my LG tv. Any help you could give me would be appreciated

    One you start up the new one for the first time, Setup Assistant starts and offers you the option of migrating your old Mac to your new Mac with Time Machine, among other choices, as the source. You can also use Migration Assistant (in the Utilities Folder) to do the same thing.

    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.

     i m unable to connect my printer wireless and generate code for registering at eprint.how to connect printer wireless i dont have wirelee router? my printer is deskjet 4625. please suggest ? i have installed printer on my computer and laptop. computer is having w-7 os and laptop is having w-vista.

    That is not correct sabretooth04,
    The Deskjet Ink Advantage 4625 only support USB or Wi-Fi, it does not provide any Ethernet connectivity and therefore a Wireless router is essential for the web services to work.
    The specifications can be found in here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c03149922&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en​...
    ichleiben57 - As your printer only support wireless connection you will either need a wireless router, bridging your wired ADSL router with a wireless access point or replacing the printer to a different model which support wired ethernet connection.

  • Can I transfer pictures stored on my pc to my ipad2? Pc has windows7 and did the original sync but have new pictures to add.

    Can I transfer pictures stored on my pc to ipad2?  Pc has windows7 and I did the original sync but have additional pictures now.

    As long as you include the photos that you orginally synced to the iPad then yes - you need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together as only the mose recent sync remains on the iPad; not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad

  • 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 connect Macbook to TV through Dvi to VGA adapter.

    I recently got s Macbook and was wondering how to connect it to my 32 inch sony tv. I have the dvi to vga adapter and recently bought an adapter that converts the VGA into RGA adapters + S video (all of which my tv has) When I connect the TV with these components nothing happens. I am curious to know what the next steps are to getting the Macbook to recognize the tv and how to produce an image on my TV. Any input would be helpful

    what plugs do you really have.. that was confusing? This is a Macbook (not pro)?
    First, it could be as simple as going to System Preferences|Displays| and choose to "Detect Display". It may not be recognizing you plugged something in.
    If you want to connect you should probably get the proper Apple mini-dvi adapters to match exactly what your TV has. I use the adapter from mini-DVI-to-DVI with my DVI-ready TV and it works great. They have one adapter for mini-DVI-to-VGA, and one from mini-DVI-to-Svideo. Note that multiple adapters assume you have 100% compatible input when often adapters "cheat" on the actual output side... data and signals are probably not getting thru... your Mac can't recognize the TV as connected.
    If you want to live dangerously, you might try using the mini-to-DVI adapter with a DVI-HDMI cable (single cable, no adapter) and see if that works (HDMI is a legit DVI spec so it should work, it works in reverse for my DVD player to TV connection)

  • How to connect macbook to both LCD TV & external monitor?

    Hi,
    I would like to connect my macbook to both my lcd tv and external monitor. However, I only need either the tv or monitor to be on at any one time. Cause when i'm during my work, I need my external monitor. But when I wanna watch movies, I want to watch it only lcd tv.
    Any ideas? Is there some sort of switch? I don't want to keep changing the display connections all the time.
    I understand there is a usb display connection to the mac but I do not need both the lcd tv and external monitor to be on at the same time.
    Thanks in advance.

    You will need a mini display/dvi converter:

  • 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.
    eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CBLMDPHDMI/
    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.

    Then you would need to go from the composite or s-video or dvi or vga to scart somehow. From what I've found in a search, s-video to scart is the most common.

  • How do I copy a layer but have the blending mode reset to normal?

    I'm going to try and word this as best as I possibly can lol. I edited a layer with a blending mode and want to copy the layer but have the layer's blending mode go back to normal so that I can edit it again with a different blending mode.
    Does anyone know how I could achieve this? Any help would be much appreciated!

    Here's the best way: make an action!: Open up your actions panel and create a new action- assign it to a key (f2)>> Make sure your layer is on any blending mode.>>Create a copy of the layer>> change blending mode to normal>> hit stop on action.
    Now you have your own action that will always copy whatever layer is selected and change the blending mode to normal!

  • How do I rip a CD, but have it play back without ga

    Just dragged myself into the 2st Century and bought myself an mp3 player (the Zen 20gb - black).
    I'm in the process of transferring my CD collection on to it, but have come across a problem with certain albums. There are some albums that I want to play back without gaps (e.g. Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'; Jeff Wayne's '...War of the Worlds' etc). Ideally I would still like to have the individual track names displayed, but to play without gaps - is this possible or am I expecting/wanting too much?

    Have a look at the FAQ post in the MP3 player forum, specifically the link "gapless playback".
    In short though all Creative players play with tiny gaps, so you can't achieve what you want to do. You'd have to rip the entire CD as one track.
    The only player I'm aware of that has gapless playback is the now defunct Rio Karma.
