How to connect MacBook4,1 to tv s video

I am trying to connect my Macbook 4,1 to my TV but my TV is older and the only ports that it has are the s-video port and normal video (red, yellow, white) ports.  I don't know what cables I need to buy to make this connection work.  I have seen several places say I need the Mini DVI to VGA but I don't know how to get it successfully from that to s-video, or if it's even possible.  I am really not able to buy cables that don't work so if you aren't SURE that it will work, please don't tell me how to do it.  If you know what I'm talking about and can help me, PLEASE let me know how to do this. 

My mistake....I should have read your post more closely....I am not SURE that it will work for you....I too have a 4,1 MacBook but have not tried that particular adapter (TV is newer) ....
...on the page I linked too it mentions it will not work on MacBooks released in January 2009 (2.0 GHZ Intel Core Duo white MacBooks)....I have not read any reports that it would not work on my particular model....
....I would expect all you need is either an S-Video cable or a standard RCA cable (it accepts both) to connect to the corresponding input on your TV....perhaps someone here will have more definitive info for you...

    HOW TO CONNECT TO A FRIEND WHO IS USING APPLE NOTEBOOK FROM MY IMAC SUGGEST ME WAITING FOR A SOLUTION FROM APPLE TEAM SUPPORT

    Hi,
    Typing in all upper case is regarded and shouting here.
    Presumably as you have posted in the OS X 10.7.x (Lion) area you are running this version of the OS on your iMac.
    This will have iChat 6 on it.
    This can use AIM, Jabber and Yahoo IDs within the app.
    Apple IDS ending in @mac.com and iCloud issued @me.com and @icloud.com are also Valid AIM Screen Names.
    If you use Googlemail and Enable "talk" in the products there you can then use your Google Mail ID as a Jabber ID (although it has it's own Add Account option in iChat)
    Facebook has an option to Enable "Chat" which will give you a Chat ID variant on your name there and this can be used in iChat (or Messages) as a Jabber ID.
    The Yahoo Account will only do Text chats.
    It also has to be an actual ID registered at Yahoo.
    Chats are then AIM to AIM or Jabber to Jabber or Yahoo to Yahoo.
    So your Buddy will also need a suitable ID or Screen Name  for the relevant service.

  • How to connect jpeg to timeline clip replacing video but keeping audio

    I put some video in the project timeline and now I would like to connect several still pictures (jpeg) at specific points in this video so that you hear the sound from the video but only see the still image.
    Connecting my jpeg to the clip in the timeline is not a problem. Once connected, however, the still picture only covers a part of the video (i.e. only the center part of the video) during playback. The jpeg is superimposed on the center part of the video, but the sides of the video still show up as played.
    What i would like is for the jpeg to completely superimpose the video in the clip, but be able to listen to the audio story told by the video in the background .
    I tried resizing the jpeg to 16:9 aspect ration before importing it, but this made no difference. I have also considered doing the connecting in the other direction, i.e. to place the jpeg into the primary timeline and connect the audio part of the video to the jpeg. This might work, but I would rather not do this because it would require adjusting the size of many video clips.
    I am a novice, so any help would be much appreciated.

    Problem solved.
    To a large extent the solution is illustrated here around minute 13:47 in this tutorial by Jerad Hill:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F-Y6iMdtQg&feature=related
    Here it is suggested that you double click in the picture and zoom in and out to get the picture adjusted to take up the whole screen. This you do by opening the inspector, on the video tab, and the transform tool. You use the scale slider to increase or decrease the scale of your photograph (or connected video clip) so that it fits the screen.
    I will leave this discussion posted just in case it helps someone else.

  • How to connect sound or audio to my tv using hdmi adapter. I tried to connect thru sound settings but my tv is not found.

    how to connect sound to my tv set using hdmi adapter. Im using 2009 macbook pro 13". I went to sound settings then output and it shows internal speaker built- in, it wont locate my tv set. pls. help, thanks

    You probably can't because it looks like your MacBook Pro is too old to carry audio over HDMI. You will need to run a separate audio cable from the audio out port on the MacBook Pro to the audio in port on the TV.
    Check your MacBook Pro model year against the list in this Apple tech note:
    About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
    Learn about the Mini DisplayPort in the latest Mac models that enables audio and video output for DisplayPort and HDMI.

  • I need to know how to connect my macbook to the tv

    I ordered the mini dvi adapter for my macbook 13in and obviously it connects to the computer but i have no idea how it connects to the tv. Where does it go? and do i need something else to help connect it to the tv? I am really confused please help.

    Yep, Apple makes adaptors to go from the mini DVI on the macbook to almost any type of input that you TV will have. First check the back of your tube to find out what kind of input it has, and order the appropriate adaptor.

  • How to connect a Sony Bravia TV to the internet through your Airport network

    Since it took me a lot of time to figure out how to connect my Sony Bravia TV to the internet through my Airport network, I better share how to do it. Hopefully saving others a lot of time.
    My 32EX600 Sony Bravia TV is Ethernet connected to my Mac Mini, which is part of my Airport network, together with another Mac, an Airport Extreme Base Station and an ADSL modem/router. Moreover, the Mac Mini is connected to the TV by HDMI.
    Whatever I tried in the TV’s Wired Network Set-up (Auto, or Manual with manual IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS IPs), I couldn’t get it right. Cable Connection and Local Access were mostly OK, Internet Access always Failed.
    The solution lies in the Sharing panel of the System Preferences of the Mac Mini. In the Internet Sharing item of that panel, you should choose to “share your internet connection from WiFi to computers (the TV in this case) using Ethernet“, and NOT (as I had chosen before and seemed so obvious) “share your internet connection from Airport to computers using Ethernet“. After that change, the Bravia Network Set-up, using the Wired and Auto options, flawlessly connected to the internet. No expensive (Sony) WiFi USB dongle needed.

    I have now had a detailed reply from Sony Europe and the way to do this is to:
    1.       Press Home on the TV Setup
    2.       Use the right and left arrow to select Setting.
    3.       Use the up and down to select Network, press Enter.
    4.       Select Network Setup.
    5.       Select Wireless setup.
    6.       Select Scan
    7.       Select your network
    8.       A new screen will appear asking for entering the security key.
    9.       Enter your WPA2 key.
    10.   Select Enter.
    11.   It will take you back to the same screen asking for entering the
    security key.
    12.   Press the right arrow.
    13.   Select Auto.
    14.   Press the right arrow.
    15.   Select Save and connect.
    These instructions are not the same as shown on the TV but they worked fine for me so they may help others with a similar problem.

  • How to connect my Mac book Pro to a TV

    How to connect my MacBook Pro to the TV using HDTV cable

    I am assuming your TV has HDMI connector.
    In that case, if your MacBook is the retina-one, you have HDMI connector there too. All you need is HDMI cable to connect teh two.
    If your MacBook has thunderbolt port instead, you need Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and HDMI cable.
    Hope this makes sense.

  • How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme? My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured" and my AirPort tool on my PC will not permit me to add my new Airport Extreme network (no network names to choose from)

    How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme?
    I have a PC running with Win7 and just replaced my Jensen With a brand New Airport Extreme.
    I have set up the Airport Extreme to the internet, Iphones and Ipads and it work as it should.
    I have downloaded latest Version of Airport tool on my PC. In addition i have downloaded the airport tool for Ipad.
    I have reset one of my airport Express and it now shows up both on the Ipad and on the PC airport tool.
    My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured."
    I have wired the airport Express to my Ethernet to be able to "see it" on my Airport tool.
    My AirPort tool on the PC will not permit me to add the airport Express to my new Airport Extreme network (no network names on the drop-down list to choose from). I wished for an easy set-up, but nothing seems to be plug and play as the Commercial says.. can you please help me?

    Hi
    Thanks for Swift reply.
    Yep - I in fact have two A1088 and one A1264
    I actually bought the new router because the Jensen
    router always lost connection to the Airport Express after some hours or days. I
    always needed to restart my Jensen to play music and that was driving my wife
    mad. The hope was that the Extreme should fix this. Both A1088 have been set up
    to only stream music to two of my stereo amplifiers from my PC’s Itunes library.
    Are the A1088 now useless?
    The A1264 has been set up to feed internet into a Denon Reciever that needed Ethernet cable.
    Please advise
    Regards
    Sigve

    How to connect my iPhone and iPad to Apple TV

    Connect the iPad and Apple TV to the same WiFi network. Double Tab the home button on the iPad and then swipe your recently used apps from left to right until you see the mirroring icon which looks like a retangle with an up arrow. Tab that icon until you see the Apple TV. Tab Apple TV and slide the slider to the ON position. You should now see your iPad screen on the TV the Apple TV is connected to.

  • How to connect my perfectly-working 20-year-old Apple Personal Laserwriter 320 to my iMac running Mountain Lion?

    How to connect my perfectly-working 20-year-old Apple Personal Laserwriter 320 to my iMac running Mountain Lion?
              Thank you, Morty S.

    I have a perfectly-working LW 4/600 with exactly the same issue. They use localtalk - a long obsolete network connection, that doesn't connect to modern networks, and appletalk as the comm protocol.
    I think the only choice you have is to use an old powerPC Mac as print server. You tell me which old Mac you have, with a localtalk connector, or that runs OS X 10.4 or earlier (so it speaks appletalk), and I'll tell you how I've done it for the past 11 years or so.
    Right now I use a G4 running 10.4.11, plus an etherMac ethernet to localtalk adapter.
    Before, I used a PMac 6100 running LPD server software.
