How to connect my macbook to the TV?
I have a macbook with OS X 10.6.8 and I am using a mini dvi-to-hdmi cable to connect it to the TV. the display was a success but i have no audio. I already purchased a separate audio cable that goes in where you put the earphones on and the other end is the red and white plugs for the TV but i still have no audio out from the TV. It seems that my macbook cant detect the TV for the audio. HELP!!!
You use audio cables to the TV if you use VGA, DVI, or Composite using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate audio input plugs on your TV.
When you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate audio input plugs.
The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI. Check your TV manual though to see if it might have audio plugs that work with one of the HDMI ports. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate audio input plugs on your TV.

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.
Luck

How to connect my macbook to the Airport with the same IP?
Hi to everybody!Most of the times I want to use amule it is firewalled because the IP changes everytime I connect my macboook to the Airport express: 10.0.1.2 or 10.0.1.3 and so on. Is there a way to say that I want my macbook to be always connected with the same IP? Since I couldn't do this I started to map the amule ports (TCP and UDP) for each IP, but I realised that I can't use the same ports (let's say TCP 4662 and UDP 4672) for different IPs. Why is that?
Thanks in advance!lellolelotti wrote:

I believe that an AirPort Express can be configured to do that. Launch AirPort Utility, enter "manual setup" mode, select the Internet panel, then the DHCP tab. There should be a section of the screen at the bottom labeled "DHCP Reservations". Click in the "plus" sign at the bottom of that section and fill in the details that you want.

You have to tell the router to send messages addressed to a certain port to a specific IP address, otherwise it wouldn't know how to route the messages. It would be like trying to assign a phone number to two different phone line circuits. -

If the CD player has audio line outputs, you could tap the audio input port of your MBP. I do question the practicality of doing so.

How to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?
how to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network? My home computer is a Window 8 OS. Thx.
The easiest way, and it may work from scratch, is to share the folders/drives you want access to on your pc, noticing what are the default parameters (eg "workgroup" etc.).
Then, you can connect your mac directly by ethernet, for instance, and, in Finder, go to > Network, you should see the folders/drives. You may be asked to provide user/password.
Don't get confused by regular/crossed ethernet cable, as mac can cross by software, so a regular cable will be ok.
Anyway, either you isd modem has the ability to connect several devices (multiple ethernet sockets, or wifi), or you can buy a router, which isn't expansive. -

How to connect my MacBook to my iPod Hi-Fi
Hello,
I'd like to know how to connect my MacBook to a iPod Hi-Fi.
Thank you!
davidjmYou have two choices. You can use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo cable or for best results use a digital audio cable between them.

How do I enable TDM?
Make sure both computers are turned on and awake.
Connect a male-to-male Mini DisplayPort or ThunderBolt cable to each computer.
Press Command-F2 on the keyboard of the iMac being used as a display to enable TDM.
Note: In Keyboard System Preferences, if the checkbox is enabled for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard functions keys," the key combination changes to Command-Fn-F2. -

Using iPhone to connect my MacBook to the internet.
Any ideas on how I can use my iPhone to connect my MacBook to the internet?
Hi RonAnnArbor,
Why not just tell people the truth and let them be responsible for their own actions. You cannot seriously expect us to believe that you are this ridiculously naive. Let's suppose that you are in a geographic/physical location that does not have free, or pay WiFi. But, to get the customer up and running you need a real machine with real apps to do some work. This, opposed to just playing on the net with the iPhone. Real work, not reading emails and showing your technically challenged friend how your blog looks on the phone... Instead of that, you are looking at stuff that is technical, contains a great deal of information, or contains a great deal of formatting. Could you not see that it would be easier to work with this type information not just from a readability standpoint, but a usability standpoint on something with a larger display?
I digress. Anyway there is no way to connect your MacBook Pro to the net because there is no connection available and you are in the middle of no where, but your iPhone is in your holster and has a freakin' marvelously strong signal. So, you have this iPhone in your pocket right next to your xxxx and it is doing nothing but playing your favorite music.
Hmm, interesting "You have an Unlimited Data Plan with AT&T" why not use it to create your own WiFi hotspot with your iPhone and allow your MacBook Pro, Windows PC, whatever to share the phone's data connection so that these and other devices can connect to the net via the iPhone? So you still don't see the advantage?
That is an awesome feature and makes it so you can connect with anything, anywhere using your iPhone. Talk about a new marketing angle. Your iPhone is now your ISP. The iPhone would be acting as, well, a modem if that helps you bring the aforementioned post full circle.

Hello, I am having some major troubles connecting my iPhone 4S to my home wifi. When I try to connect on my phone, it says I have an incorrect password. That's not possible because I can connect my MacBook to the same network with the same password. I have reset my network settings on my phone, reset my router, called apple support, triple checked I was trying it in correctly, I have no clue what's going on.
The only thing different is I just moved, but I have the same router/phone/internet provider.
I've seen some discussions of router security options being the problem, I have my router connected to : WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES].
The other options are: WEP , WPA-PSK[TKIP] , WPA2-PSK [AES] , WPA/WPA2 Enterprise.
My troubleshooting and understanding of all this is pretty limited, my applecare service did not help, please can anyone help me?
Thanks!If the issue happened after an update, you may want to go into an Apple Store. Be sure to let them know exactly what's wrong with the device.
