In subject to tv and macbook pro connectivity.

Hi people,please tell me how to connect my sony bravia bx320 lcd 32" to macbook pro,this is so i can watch movies on my lcd via macbook,so please explain what should i do.secondly please tell is there any Mac version for vlc player and of any video converter?

How old is your MBP?  Assuming it's a recent one (i.e. bought new within the last couple of years) and that your TV has an HDMI input then you will need a mini-displayport to HDMI cable.  Apple sell one:

Regarding VLC, yes there is a version of VLC for Mac - the new version 2 has recently been released.

  • Bluetooth iPhone 4s and MacBook Pro connecting

    I need some assistance with the connection between iPhone 4s (OS 6.0.1) and MacBook Pro (OSX 10.6.8). I paired the machines but I cannot connect them.

    The Iphone is designed to only connect with wireless speakers, headsets, and keyboards through bluetooth. You are not able to pair the iphone with a mac through bluetooth. It is an unfortunate device limitation :/

  • Imessage & sms using iphone ipad and macbook pro

    I just had a new ipad mini for christmass.  Great... but I have a new problem.
    Note that I dont have a data plan on my cel.  That means that i received imessages only when I am connected to wifi (home, university, etc..)
    Before I had my new ipad mini. i configured my iphone and macbook pro to use imessage with my cel phone no as my primary ID.  Everything was fine.   When I was at home (both iphone and macbook pro connected to wifi), i was getting imessages on both my iphone and macbook pro at the same time.  My friends that do not have apple devices were sending me sms that i was getting on my iphone only.  When leaving home with my iphone only,  I usually close my laptop that is getting automatically in sleep mode.  My iphone continue to receive all my messages (my friends imessages were automatically converted to sms because my macbook pro is sleeping and therefore not accepting imessages and my iphone was not connected to wifi).  When I get at school and my iphone connect to wifi, my iphone now reveives all imessages plus sms.
    With the new ipad mini (configured the same was as my macbook pro to accept imessage with my iphone no as the main ID) it seems that it continues to receive all imessage, even when sleeping.
    The effect is that when i leave home with my iphone only and get out of the wifi, my iphone do not get any imessage that are accepted by my ipad mini.  My friends that use iphones dont know that i am not getting their messages because they see on their iphone that their message have been distributed.
    That is a big problem for me. 
    I want to receive all my messages (imessage and sms) on my iphone... when i am connected to wifi and when i am not.
    The work around solution i use (that i dont really like) is that, on my new ipad mini, i unchecked my phone no in the list of ID for imessages.  With this solution, i am back as i was before getting my new ipad mini... but the problem is when i use imessage with my apple mini using my apple id as my imessage ID, my friends are getting 2 different conversations... on with my iphone no as imessage ID and another one with my apple id as my imessage ID.  If they ever use this last one when I am out of a wifi zone with my iphone... I will not get those message on my iphone...
    What is the solution??????
    Thanks for helping.

    Hey there David,
    If you are still not receiving your iMessages between all your ios devices, I recommend the following section of this article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
    If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, follow these steps.
    Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
    If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • IMac and Macbook Pro no longer connecting to the Wifi?

    Hi there,
    I've been in London this weekend, only to return home to find issues connecting to my wifi. Weirdly, it's only the iMac and Macbook Pro having trouble, everything else is connecting fine e.g iPad, Phone, Android Tablet etc.
    I'm getting disconnected around every 20 seconds and cannot figure it out! It's so frustrating as I'm wondering if there's been an update released for OS X that it has downloaded recently? Especially seeing that when I run windows from bootcamp on my iMac, it doesn't disconnect. And I also don't believe it's an issue with the hub.
    Has anyone got any suggestions? I've tried removing the network and re-adding, help for about an hour but still not much use.
    Thanks, Matt

  • My IPOD and Macbook Pro both will not connect to the Itunes store through Itunes says no internet connection, but I can connect through safari and I have a internet connection

    My IPOD and Macbook Pro both will not connect to the Itunes store through Itunes says no internet connection, but I can connect through safari and I have a internet connection

    As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
    I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
    I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

  • Can I connect my iPad and MacBook Pro both via an iPhone hotspot?

    First, a little background. I have an aging MacBook Pro (~5 years old), and my netbook was smashed on the way to work last night. My cell phone (not an iPhone) crapped out a few weeks ago.
    So my first priority is to replace my netbook with an iPad. When I can afford it, I also want to upgrade to a new MacBook Pro. I've also been thinking of getting an iPhone.
    One thing that always confuses me is Internet connections. I currently connect my MacBook Pro to the Internet via Verizon and use T-Mobile for my cell phone.
    I was surprised when an Apple salesman told me the iPhone has a "hotspot" that I can use to connect both an iPad and MacBook Pro to the Internet. But an Apple salesman at another store told me the hotspot will connect the iPad.
    Can anyone offer some details? I've been browsing some of the other threads, but I still don't really understand what a hotspot is. Am I correct in understanding that as long as I have an iPhone with me, I can use it to connect my iPad to the Internet? Can I similarly use it to connect a MacBook Pro (either my 4-year-old+ model or a new model)?
    What kind of connection speed does a hotspot offer? I do a lot of websurfing and web design. Would a hotspot connection be about as fast as my current connection via Verizon?
    Also, is the hotspot feature available with either AT&T or Verizon?
    Thanks.

    Your hotspot will be billed by AT&T or Verizon based on your iPhone's model. Only the iPhone 4 from Verizon would allow a Verizon hotspot. Others have posted information revealing that the Verizon 3G connection is somewhat slower than the AT&T service. Also, the Verizon service suspends the use of hotspot when you take a phone call. The AT&T service continues during calling.
    Selecting the hotspot feature under General> Settings> Personal Hotspot will change your data plan from your previous 250MB, 2GB, or unlimited amount to a new 4GB plan that includes tethering. AT&T charges me $45 instead of my Unlimited, but No Tethering Allowed, $30.
    You can connect three devices that have WiFi. Verizon hotspots can connect five. Your speed should be about the same as the iPhone 4 browsing speed on 3G. If your phone is on WiFi, the devices need to connect separately to that WiFi, not to your hotspot. I would love to see a software update that allows my WiFi connection to be shared, so I don't have to manually connect the iPods that my boys use one at a time.

    Hello QuinnDev,
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you are trying to use your MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt Display in closed clamshell mode (MacBook Pro closed), but sometimes the display doesn't stay on.  I found an article that talks about closed clamshell mode.  You would have to fulfill the following requirements to use your display this way:
    Requirements for closed display mode:
    Power adapter
    External keyboard, mouse, or trackpad
    External display
    You can find all the steps and the full article here:

    I hope this helps!

  • Can't Connect MacBook and MacBook Pro at same time to AEBS

    I can't connect a MacBook and MacBook Pro to an Airport Extreme Base Station at the same time. Whichever one connects first works and the other one doesn't. It was working fine for months and then stopped working. Can only use one computer at at time. There's nothing else on the network. It may have been a software update that caused the problem, but I'm not sure which one. Have done all software updates and am not using any security on the network, so that's not the problem. Many sleepless nights trying to get this fixed, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Do me a favor. So many users are experiencing this (no myself though) and I have suggested so many things with nothing constantly working. There are successes here and there, but nothing consistently solves the problem. However, try the following in Airport Utility and both Macs, and then let us know what happens.
    *Can’t Access Certain Web Sites / DNS Server Settings Issues*
    I'm wondering if either or both Airport Utility & Network Prefs have proper DNS server settings. Try this
    Launch Airport Utility.
    Select TC on left.
    Click "Manual Setup".
    Select "Internet" from the toolbar above.
    What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"?
    Try putting in these servers from OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Click "Update".
    Your TC will restart with the new settings.
    Next, launch System Prefs --> Network Prefs.
    Select the service you usually connect with on the left (Airport or Ethernet).
    Then click, "Advance..."
    Click the "DNS" tab.
    What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"?
    Usually "10.0.1.1" will be listed first in gray. This refers back to the settings in the Airport Utility.
    Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to add the DNS servers noted above here as well.
    Click "OK" then click "Apply".
    Finally, reboot your Mac.
    Now see if you have internet access all around.
    Let us know if this resolves your issue.
    Cheers!

  • Recently when I connect Iphone 4s and MacBook Pro my computer stopped see new photos on Dropbox.

    Recently when I connect Iphone 4s and MacBook Pro my computer stopped see new photos on Dropbox.  I have changed iCloud password on Mac and Iphone, nothing.  Deleted some pictures of iPhone, didn't help.  Any ideas what I did to mess this up?

    I cannot deleted.  Computer keep telling that my dropbox is open.  Don't see how to shot it off.  Do I need to delete all pictures from dropbox first and delete application after.  Will I loose all these pictures? Usually, I copy all photos to iphoto app.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If home sharing isn't enabled on the Apple TV, you will need the aluminium remote that came with it to do so.

  • MacBook Pro Connects to Wifi while Macbook Air and 2 iphones don't

    Today when we got home from work my boyfriends Macbook air couldn't connect to the internet, he restarted the router and modem and it still didn't work, my Macbook Pro connected as usual and is working perfectly, both of our iphones can't connect either.  We tried forgetting the network on the iphones and ran through network diagnostics with the Air, at first it would fine the wireless but insist we were typing in the wrong password despite KNOWING we were doing it right and now it won't even see any of the 15+ networks in our apartment building. Any ideas?  Super non-tech savy so it might be something stupid....

  • Connection failures between iMac and Macbook Pro

    I'm experiencing frequent connection failures over my wi-fi network between my iMac and Macbook Pro on an otherwise strong, stable network. I can connect both of my computers to the Airport Time Capsule that I use as my wireless router without a problem, but for some reason I get connection failures between the computers say, 50% of the time. Sometimes it works fine, others it just hangs before giving me an error message. Any suggestions?
    OS 10.9.3 on both machines
    Apple Airport Extreme Time Capsule
    iMac, 3.06GHz i3 (2010)
    Macbook Pro Retina, 2.4 GHz i7 (1st Gen)

    Hi jt in nyc,
    Some checks:
    Use Airport Utility on one of the machines
    - Click on the Time Capsule ( enter password if prompted )
    - Click on the Edit button
    Under Airport Utility -> Wireless -> Wireless Options
    Are the Time Capsule Wireless options set correctly?
    - Country -> you know this, change if it is not
    - 2.4GHz and 5GHz Channel set to Automatic
    - Click on Cancel button to return to the Airport Utility graphic diagram.
    - Click on the Time Capsule
    - Click on your machines listed beside wireless clients
    Are the machines reporting an excellent quality at different distances from the Time Machine?

  • Airport extreme loses internet connection all the time with imac and macbook pro

    I keep losing the internet connection with airport extreme on my imac and macbook pro but NOT with my pc

    Ok, so when you say you lose internet connection, is it disconnecting from your wireless network so there are no bars?
    And are there usually full bars?

  • Connecting iMac and MacBook Pro using a non-Apple wireless router

    I use a Belkin wireless router. Is there any way for me to connect iMac and MacBook Pro using the router to share files? I think I read somewhere that I need AirPort Extreme for this, but I'm not sure. Thank you.

    Great resource from Dennis...file sharing, I.e. networking, is a function of the operating system settings and not the brand of router. Using Mac OS X 10.6 on both machines makes it really seamless. Following Dennis's kb article should make the two almost act like one machine.
