ITunes movie on sony bravia, how do i set up Mac Book Pro so i can watch a movie in iTunes on my Sony Bravia?

I bought a movie from itunes and want to watch it on my Sony TV.  I have the adapter and everything is plugged in but i can not get a picture on my TV.  What do i need to do to have the picture come through?

Ideally if your going to do this often is to get a AppleTV, a Playstation or a Roku so you can stream content to the TV without burning up the Mac.
Also if your on 10.5 you should consider upgrading to 10.6.8 (but watch out for 10.7 as your software may no longer work)
Usually TV's have a remote with a Auxillary input selection, like Cable, HDMI, VCR, VGA, etc, etc.
You might have to review the specs of the MacBook Pro and the HDTV to match the two correctly.

  • How can I find out how to log into my Mac book pro if I dont remember my name and password

    I Just open my Mac book pro and I can't seem to put my hand on what I placed as my password or name is there a way I can reset this abf start over?

    It's not a screen saver, per se., it's the iTunes Visualizer.
    iTunes -> View -> Show Visualizer
    Pressing various keys while the visualizer is on changes some of the parameters.

  • HT2471 How do I recover my Mac Book Pro back to the day I purchased it? Will I lose the apps that came with this Mac Book when I recover it?

    How do I recover my Mac Book Pro back to the day I purchased it? Will I lose apps that came with the Mac Book if I recover it?

    Press the command and r keys when turning on your Macbook.  Do not release those keys until you see the apple logo...
    Disk Utility will pop up.....Your choices are to reinstall, you will not lose anything....
    if however, you decide to format/erase your drive, then reinstall, you will lose everything...
    suggestion - back everything up and do a clean install.
    good luck

  • HT1751 How do I move my entire iTunes library from my iomega hard drive to my new Mac Book Pro?  I no longer want to keep my music on the external drive.

    Because of a lack of enough memory on my old Mac Book, I put all my music on an external hard drive.  Now that I have a new Mac Book Pro with lots of memory, I want to move the music onto this new computer but I haven't been able to yet.  I tried the migration assistant but that didn't work.  Any suggestions?

    I may sound like a real rookie here, but on my new MacBook Air there isn't a "Pictures" folder under "Users/kendallwilson" like there used to be on my old MacBook Pro (Early 2011). I'm still working out the new software on my MB Air, so where exactly should I open this new window to start following the steps you just provided me.
    Thanks again!

  • How do I transfer all the information in my iTunes on my old mac book to my new mac book pro so I can sync my devices to the new machine with erasing all the data my iPhone and iPad?

    I have just bought a new mac book pro and want to use this machine as the main computer to which I will sync my iPhone and iPad.
    How do I transfer the information within iTunes on my old mac book so when I connect the devices the new machine will not erase all my data?
    Thank you

    Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.
    You can use an external hard disc for the transfer, or you can connect the computers together using Firewire Target Disc Mode as explained here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661

  • How to access to my Mac Book Pro's iTunes with Apple TV?

    All right, I'm new on Mac. Just bought a Mac Book Pro, Time Capsule, iPhone 5 and Apple TV!
    I'm using my TC as an external HD, since I allready have everything backed up on another non-wifi HD.I've already imported some files from the TC to iTunes.
    When I go to iTunes on my Apple TV it says that "THERE ARE NO SONGS IN THIS LIBRARY". Do I need to link my Mac Book to Apple TV or something? Everything is connected to the same wifi network.
    Any help?
    Thanks!!
