HT4241 Can I connect audio to the TV for later model MacBook Pros?

I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro and I got an HDMI mini Displayport to HDMI Adapter, but the audio doesn't transfer. Any idea if I need a different cord/cable etc?

If audio isn't passed then you will need to use the stereo audio out (headphone) jack on your MBP.
You need a 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo jack at one end and (presumably) RCA jacks on the TV end.  These can be found most anywhere like your local Radio Shack or monoprice.com.
Note if the TV doesn't use RCA sockets for it's audio in then whatever it uses there's a audio cable or adapter for it for these same or similar sources.  Audio cables and adapters come in many combinations.

  • Unlucky recepient of the Troj/JSDldr-V "iTunes" trojan (turns itunes German, for starters). I have perused forums for how to remove the trojan nd cannot find anything for Mac (Sophos found, can't remove). Running a 2011 late model Macbook Pro 10.9.5

    Hi! I was the unlucky recipient of the Troj/JSDldr-V "iTunes" trojan (turns itunes German, for starters). It arrived via a FedEx email that was in my Spam folder and somehow unleashed when I moved Spam to trash. (I saw a fake itunes update, clicked the red circle to close which might have been the trigger). Anyhoo, I am perplexed as to how to remove. My Sophos found it and isolated it afterwards, but has been unable to remove it as iTunes is already compromised - and everything being in German or faux German, I'm not about to enter any info as it cleverly prompts for admin user name and password. Sneaky buggers! I have perused forums and found it is likely spyware, but have been unsuccessful at finding how to remove for Mac (Sophos found threat, can't remove it). Running a 2011 late model Macbook Pro, 10.9.5. Any support would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm broke (as in homeless broke) and even if I had money, the nearest Apple store is a five hour drive away - a tad inconvenient and inaccessible. :-(  Karma points for helping, though! And I always pay it forward!

    Please help me !!

    The Seagate backup drive I bought doesn't support 10.5.8
    The only reason I can see for that is it's formatted NTFS, which would likely be Read Only in 10.5.x, if you can reformat it MacOS extended, which would erase everything on it now, then that should work for your purposes.

  • Is there a way to digitize audio using the headphone input on the 15-inch (late 2013) Macbook Pro with Retina display?

    I'd like to digitize audio from a minidisc player into my 15-inch (late 2013) Macbook Pro with retina display, but can't see a way to change the internal mic input.  I understand that previous MacBooks allowed the headphone jack to double as a mic input, but mine doesn't seem capable of switching.  I've tried using a mini to mini cable, with no luck, and also tried using a headset splitter adapter (3.5 mm 4-pin to 2x3-pin 3.5 mm headset splitter adapter from Amazon) because I read that that would allow me to plug in headphones and input audio.  But in both cases, the only "input" available in my sound preferences is the built-in internal microphone.  Am I missing something?  Is there a way to digitize audio through the headphone jack? 

    Not likely. headphone jacks are usually output only devices unless specifically stated to support input, and even then, it may not be audio input that they support, but merely control input for volume and such.
    You can get a USB audio input instead. i.e:

    Yes.
    You can have one HDMI (or DVI monitor via HDMI to DVI adopter) on the HDMI port
    Another monitor via one Thunderbolt port and suitable adopter if not a displayport/mini displayport monitor
    And use the other Thunderbolt port for Ethernet via a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adopter.

  • Can't record sound using the jack in/out on macbook pro 13 os x

    hi
    i bought a new macbook pro 13' intel core i5 4gb with the latest os x version 10.8.2. mainly for sound and video editing
    yesterday i tried to record sound using garage band and through the mini jack port. once i connected an mp3 player to the mini jack port, the sound prefrences window recognized it as headphones and not as input jack as it did on my friend's same mac with leopard os on it.
    it seems like no matter what i try to do (changing instument set up on garage band, restarting the computer with the jack in or out etc...) nothing worked
    i bought this mac just so i wouldn't have to deal with these kind of problems....suppose to be a very user friendly os and hardwear.
    very dissapointing. please if any one has a clue what can be done?

    i'm aware of my other audio interface options, but i would expact this machine to have the basic options every 20 year old pc has, a simple plug and play difault to get audio into my computer. i bought it at b and h in NY and in their specs it says that it's a 'combo kack' - meaning both in and out analog audio ports. after cheaking mac's site it says only headphones.
    also tryied to connect a digidesign mini mbox2, through the usb port, and i had to unplug it, shut down the mbp, restart it again etc.. and it also doesn't always work propely and makes all kinds of digital error sounds.
    although in this case i can't that the mbox is not damaged.
    over all it's very dissapointing. it's my first mac and i figured it would be a much more idiot proof, user freindly work tool.
    if you got any other tips i'd appreciate that
    thanx alot for the focusrite link

  • Can't connect Canon MP560 wirelessly using Airport Extreme with MacBook Pro

    My Canon MP560 is failing to connect to the access point.  It recognizes the access point/network I would like to connect to but when I enter in my password it fails to connect and tells me to check access point settings.  I used this exact same printer but different router in my old house and everything worked well!  I'm thinking this is a Mac thing that I can't seem to figure out.  I have the lastest Canon driver updates for Mac and use 10.6.8 software on my Macbook Pro.
    This is how the printer instructs me on the panel.
    a. Select Wireless LAN setup
    b. Select Easy Settings
    c. Select Access Point
    d. Enter Password
    e. Fails to connect..........
    Please help.
    Brice.

    Hi Tesserax,
    i have the same issue as mountie30 with the MP560 but it's not working
    i have a airport express.
    i was following your instructions:
    ''To get to this feature within the AirPort Utility, go to the utility's menu bar and first choose Base Station, and then, Add Wireless Clients...''
    the problem is, base station is in light gray and i can't click on it.
    i re-plugged my printer into my imac so it detects it again. (it still says printer offline in settings)
    i have no clue what to do.
    please help
    thanks

  • Can I connect a Power Mac G5 monitor to a Macbook pro?

    I still have my Power Mac G5 monitor that still works. I wanted to know if I can connect the monitor to my Macbook pro. I'm not sure what adapters, if any, I should use. Thanks in advance.
    Scilla

    What brand and model of monitor and what type of connectors does it have?
    PowerMac G5s did not ship with a monitor but you could use several Apple monitors of the time plus common third-party monitors like Sony, ViewSonic, etc. However, the type of video connection varies, even on Apple monitors. So we would need to know what connectors (or at least make/model) to research the required adpators.
    If you are asking about a G5 iMac----looks like this:
    Then, no, it cannot be used as an external monitor in the traditional sense. You may be able to use third-party, screen-sharing software if both computers are networked. See here:
    http://www.screenrecycler.com/ScreenRecycler.html
    It appears the software still supports older Macs.

  • I can't seem to close the screen on my new MacBook Pro with ext montitor

    I have a new MacBook Pro with a Samsung T240 through the DVI link. I can see my desktop on the external monitor when the laptop screen is open, but if I close it the computer goes to sleep and I cannot see anything on the T240.
    I have the Bluetooth keyboard and the Bluetooth mouse. The mouse also deactivates until I manually browse for it after I wake the computer up by opening the screen.
    I know I should be able to keep the display closed but how do I do this? Thanks!

    Let the laptop sleep, then hit a key on the keyboard or wiggle the mouse to wake it up.

  • Can I connect my 35 mm film camera to my MacBook pro computer?

    Hello.  I would like to know if I can input images from my 35 mm film camera  to my MacBook Pro computer.  Is the use of a scanner the only answer?  If I purchase a digital camera, I would like to have one that requires low energy from a battery.  I am looking for one that has 12 megapixels of resolution and has an adjustable focal length from 25mm to 180 mm.  I read that digital cameras require much energy from a battery.  And I would prefer to use a small battery over one that is a NiMh or is a lithium ion. 

    but an AM Vantage is also cool (and much cheaper)
    There you go: This is my new (demo model 2008 with 4,500 Kilometers) Vantage.  The actual car and photo the day I took it from the dealer in Vancouver.  Just have to figure out if i can change my name from Bimmer to Vantage in this forum.
