I want to display a Powerpoint Presentation from my MacBook Pro on a Samsung HD TV. Is this possible?

What cable(s) do I need?
And is there any way to extend the length of these cables to at least 3-4 feet?

The TV end probably needs HDMI if that Samsung TV is standard at all.
The Mac end needs Mini DisplayPort.
Just get a cable with those plugs at the ends (Mini DisplayPort to HDMI) and you'll be fine. Monoprice.com has it for a lot less than Apple. I have given presentations on projectors and TVs with their cables.

    what software is needed and how do I transfer a powerpoint presentation from my Macbook to my i pad?

    You need an app that supports Powerpoint documents on your iPad e.g. Documents To Go (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/documents-to-go-office-suite/id317117961?mt=8 or the premium version http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/documents-to-go-premium-office/id317107309?mt=8). How to copy to that app is explained here http://support.dataviz.com/support.srch?docid=14497&pid=198 . I havn't got the app myself but I have seen other people recommend it.

  • I want to run Quicken through Windows on my macbook pro, whats the best way to do this?

    I want to run Quicken 2012 through Windows on my macbook pro, whats the best way to do this?
    I have been looking at Parallels or VMware in order to use Windows but then I will also need to get a Windows license. Just looking for the most inexpensive way possible as this will probably be the only Windows app I run.
    Also looking at this CrossOver software which says you dont need Windows license. Anyone used this before? had success?

    CrossOver's website has a list of software it has certified as working or working with known issues - Quicken 2012 has a bronze rating meaning it runs but with enough issues that it isn't recommended. In other words, "Run away!"
    Get a copy of Windows 7 OEM from Amazon or New Egg and give it a try with VirtualBox (an open source virtualization program). If VirtualBox doesn't cut it you can always buy VMWare or Parallels.

  • Which is the best and least expensive projector to show powerpoint presentation from a MacBook Air?

    I would like to know the best and least expensive projector to use with MacBook Air to dispaly a powerpoint presentation.

    Do you mean a external cd/dvd drive that connects by usb port? If you do then any brand will work. It does not have to be a apple brand for it to work on your mac. Most go for around $30 in the usa.
    I use a asus brand that cost me just under $30. Works on any computer it is connect to.

  • I have a macbook 2.1 with osx10.6.8 and want to wipe it clean and migrate from my macbook pro with the same osx..is it possible to do?

    I have an older macbook 2.1 intel OSX 10.6.8 that I want to wipe clean and then migrate from my  macbbok pro with OSX10.6.8 to the older macbook, is it possible ,how would I do it..especially how do I wipe clean the older macbook?

    Connecting to a TV is no different than connecting to any other external display. It's possible that there's a problem with the mini dvi port on the macbook r that you have bad adapters. You might try resetting the SMC Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
    Does the Macbook recognize that there's an external display connected when you look at the Display preference pane?

  • How can I run a 27" Apple Cinema Display and another monitor from my MacBook Pro?

    Hi everyone,
    I recently purchased a brand new 15"  MacBook Pro to replace my old one. I was told when ordering it that I would be able to hook up two external monitors to it using the Matrox DualHead2Go hardware. So, I also bought a 27" Cinema Display (non-Thunderbolt since it wouldn't work with the DH2Go). However, when I contacted Matrox they said their products don't support screens as large as the 27" ACD.
    Bummer!
    So, my question is: does anyone know how I can hookup a 27" Apple Cinema Display at 2560x1440 and a Acer 22" monitor at 1685x1050 (or, anything less really) to my new MacBook Pro?
    I've looked around and haven't been able to find a good answer.
    Thanks for your help!

    Will something like this work? A USB to VGA adapter? Can I use this at the same time that I have a Cinema Display plugged into the Mini-DVI port and will they both work at the same time? Anyone know?

  • I cannot get a signal from my MacBook Pro to a Samsung T220HD using an HDMI cable

    I was in the Apple store to see how to improve the resolution on my Samsung T220HD, which I had connected to my MacBook Pro using the PC cable and an Mini DisplayPort adaptor.  The staff recommended I buy a Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable instead.  I've plugged the new cable in, and the Samsung display reads "Check signal cable".
    I don't have another cable to test it; am I doing something wrong?

    Mini Dis[playPort cables have a lot of contacts, and require a lot of force to seat properly. Push until all the metal part of the plug disappears into the jack.

  • I want to record a live broadcast from my macbook pro?

  • Why can't I send emails from my Macbook Pro. A window pops up saying this: Sending the message content to the server failed.  The server response was: An error occurred while sending this message using the SMTP server "(null)"

    This is starting to REALLY frustrate me! I used to be able to send emails with attachments perfectly fine with my email, and now all of a sudden it won't work. I work from home, and 8/10 my emails need to have images in them. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!

    Contact your internet service provider. They can run some tests to verify the cause of the problem. This sounds very much like an ISP issue.

  • How do I access my Iphoto photos on a different Mac. I saved photos from My Macbook Pro and sold it. Now I want to access those pictures on my desktop Mac. Is this possible?

    I saved photos from my Macbook Pro and sold it. Now I want to access those pictures from the Macbook Pro on my desktop Mac. Is this possible?

    That would depend on where you saved the photos. I assume they are on an external drive or a cd(s) or DVD or USB drive. Hook whatever device they are on to the desktop Mac, open iPhoto and do an Import to Library from the File menu.

  • I want to control a PowerPoint presentation on my iPad remotely from my iPhone. Is there an app that allows me to wirelessly control my iPad from my iPhone?

    I want to control a PowerPoint presentation on my iPad remotely from my iPhone. Is there an app that allows me to wirelessly control my iPad from my iPhone?

    Yes.
    The app is called Keynote Remote and is available for both iPhone and iPad from the App Store. This app can also run Keynote presentations from your Mac from either your iPad or iPhone.
    Both your iPad and iPhone need to be on the same WiFi Network. With your iPad Keynote file loaded, go to:
    iPad > Keynote > Tool Menu (wrench) > Advanced > Remote and turnon "Enable Remotes"
    on your iPhone set up the link:
    Keynote Remote > Settings > New Keynote Link and follow instructions - you will be given a set of numbers, enter those numbers on the iPad and you are all set.
    Good Luck

  • Is it possible to transmit powerpoint presentations from apple tv

    I am wondering if there is a way for me to transmit from my computer a powerpoint presentation from apple tv to my tv? I have to drag this really long cord to hook up my computer to my tv to be able to make this happen. I would love to see if there is a way to make this happen. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Sorry, there's no way of doing this, the only way is with the cable (Apple TV not required)
    If the presentation is suitable you might export it as a video and add it to iTunes.
    If you have an iPad 2, iOS 5 will allow you to mirror it's display to a TV via the Apple TV, which would let you play keynote presentations on your TV.

  • I have a macbook pro, and i want to transfer my hard drive from my macbook, but the display drivers and such are different.  How do i do this?

    I have a macbook pro, and i want to transfer my hard drive from my macbook (500g), but the display drivers and such are different.  How do i do this and is it possible?
    The Macbook Pro has Mac OS X 10.4.11 (70g hard drive)
    The Macbook has Mac OS X 10.6.8 (500g hard drive)

    The MacBook's hard drive lacks the necessary hardware drivers to boot the MacBook Pro even though it has a much newer OS on it; that's why simply moving it into the Pro doesn't work. Presumably you have a very old MB Pro, because only the very first MB Pro model (produced January to May 2006) was ever offered with an 80GB hard drive. Are you sure you want to move your big drive into such an old machine? The MacBook must be newer, because the first MacBook was introduced just as the first Pro model was discontinued.
