Mac Book Pro TV Connection

I have a macbook pro and I am trying to connect to my Panasonic VIESA tv with the Display port and HDMI cable but I only get a black screen

Ok, so the video will go throug display port to HDMI, and the sound will go through external speakers, right?
thanks again

Can I get my mac book pro to connect via usb to epson ex5200

can I get my mac book pro to connect via usb to epson ex5200?

Maybe, but if the Mac has Thunderbolt ports, it will probably give you much better results with a TB to HDMI cable such as this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CADYDO
No software, truly a plug and play proposition.

Wifi On Mac Book Pro Not Connecting

The wifi I am about to lose my mind! The wifi on my mac book pro will not connect to my home router. I had this problem when I moved in (2 months ago) and the solution would be to unplug the router and the cable modem and plug them back in a few minuets later. However, that fix is no longer working. My network has a password protected option and one without a password. I can connect to the password protected option fine. However, after a period of time that ranges from a few seconds to a few minuets I will get a pop up that says "connection time out has occurred" and I will no longer have internet connection. I have to go back to the wifi icon on the top tool bar and reselect the network. This happens non-stop. When I try to connect to the other password-protected network I will enter my password and it says connection time out has occurred and will not connect. If I enter the wrong password it just says invalid password. EVERYTHING else I own works on the network. My roku, ipod, ipad, kindle, galaxy 4, my roomate's iPhone, and both my roomates' laptops (neither are macs). It is not a matter of there being too much traffic on the network (like Apple suggested) because I have disconnected literally everything else just to see if it would work and it still did not. My internet works fine when I am on my college campus, but when I go other places like Starbucks or the air port I do notice that my internet is substantially slower then the people sitting next to me.
So I called Apple because I bought the extended apple care. They went through their long list of troubleshooting...it all failed...so naturally they concluded that it must be the router that’s causing the problems.
Its not the router. Everythign else works on the network. There is post after post on here about the same exact thing happening to literally hundreds of other people. It is a brand new router. And at my last apartment wifi was included in the rent (so it was the apartment's router not one I bought) and the same problem still occurred (Apple has record of this because I called them then too). At my old apartment I resorted to just plugging it in the wall with an Ethernet cord but unfortunately, that is not an option at my new house.
Apple said that I can bring it in and have them look at it but it’s obviously going to work there and I really do not have time to drive all the way there for them to just tell me that since it works there it must be router's fault when I know its not.
Has anyone had any luck in dealing with Apple and Apple Care in regards to this issue

It would help us to know which model computer you have, which OS version you're using, how much RAM (if applicable), etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.
This will help in providing you with the correct troubleshooting solutions. The more info about your computer you include, the easier it is to help you.
If you do not know the model of your Mac, you can check under Apple Menu/About This Mac - which is located in the upper left hand corner of your Finder.

Cannot get Mac Book Pro to connect to ebay. Other computers in the house on the same network connect, but this mac book pro won't. It goes to any other web site, just won't connect to ebay

I cannot get this macbook pro to connect to ebay. Other apple computers in my house on same network will but this one will not. This one will connect to any other site, but not ebay. Thoiguhts?

Try using OpenDNS servers:
System Preferences>Network>Advanced>DNS.
Click on the + in the left side column and add the following:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click OK, then click Apply
BTW one post is sufficient. Two clogs the servers.

Can i have multiple screens on my mac book pro when connected to my iMac using a firewire cable?

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

When my mac book pro is connected to my LED cinema display, itunes start and stop playing music randomly... Even when i stop it, it start again, and again, and again...

This problem appear recently, at the same time as i've done ios6 update and everything which appear at the same time with all apple software.
i've tried to reinstall 10.7.5 with reinstallation of itunes, but always the same problem...
So, when using LED cinema Display, i keep itunes sound volume at zero, to avoid this problem.
Somebody with the same problem and a solution ???

It is better to take it back to the genius bar.
Your MBP is under warranty and let them fix it for you.
Nobody here can help you with hardware problems.
Best.

Do I need to change any settings to connect my mac book pro to my tv?

Do I need to change any settings on my mac book pro to connect to my tv

Almost certainly, yes. Did you want to know which settings?
Exactly what settings you would need to change, where, and to what would depend on many factors, including at least the following:
* what model MBP you have (which will tell us the connector available),
* what version of Mac OS X it runs (which will tell us the settings available),
* what sort of TV you have (resolution, what connectors it offers, how they are switched, etc.),
* what connecting facilities you have (like wires or an AppleTV),
* how you want to use the TV (primary screen, secondary screen, mirror screen, sole screen),
* whether you want to play audio through the TV,
and even
* where the TV is located with respect to the MBP.
Simple case: New enough MBP to have HDMI output, running a recent OS X, TV new enough to have an available HDMI input, an HDMI cable on hand, using the TV as a secondary screen, and you don't care about how the screen positions relate or where the audio plays. You might be able to get away with default settings on the computer, but you'll still probably have to switch the TV to the HDMI input, and you'll have to drag windows onto the new screen.

Unable to connect my mac book pro to Apple tv to watch downloads

Im unable to get my Mac Book Pro to connect to my Apple TV? Have been able to connect both the iPod and iPad but not this?

You can use AirPlay to mirror what is on your MacBook. Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5209?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

HT202663 each time I go to mail it asks me to join a wireless network. I choose the one I have and dont know why I dont stay connected. I took my mac book pro to vermont and joined the network at my house there, when I got back to ny I joined here but it

my mac book pro would connect automatically to my wireless network in ny. then I went to vermont with my computer and connected to my wireless network there. when I got back to ny I changed it back to my wireless connection here but it wont stay connected. each time i go on mail it asks me to join a network. it hink i did all the right steps but it wont stay joined.

Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

IMac and Mac Book Pro will not stay connected to WiFi on TC

Hi,
I'm a new Mac owner, and I changed completely over to Apple over the weekend. Have na iMac and Mac Book Pro with a 2 TB Time Capsule. Hooked everythng up and all seems to be working, except everytime my computers go into sleep mode when I wake them up they ask me to select my wireless network again because I lost connection. Once I select my network it works fine until the computer goes to sleep. WhenI wake it up, it asks me again. I have it set to automatically connect to known networks, but it doesn't. I have to click on it everytime I wake up the computer. Before I hooked up the TC, I was using my old wireless router and it stayed connected. Now that I put the TC in as my wireless neteork it asks me to select my network. Is there something I'm not doing that may help the iMac and Mac Book Pro stay connected?
Thanks.

For that particular WiFi update, yes - it means you can't download it. However, that update may have been included already in M-L 10.8 ...
I feel your pain regarding these anomalies - I had the same problems on my year-old iMac that I just exchanged with Apple for a new one - I had worked these software/network issues on the old one for over five months, and finally, I demanded a new system as a replacement. Just too many problems. For me, Update 10.7.3 for Lion was the cause of my network problems. The WiFi update/patch solved the sleep issue for me, but not the auto-connect problem for system start-up's and restart's. After system start-up's and restart's, I would have to manually select my router address to connect via WiFi. But after manually selecting the address, the WiFi connection would stay-on - it wouldn't drop-off.
Again, with this replacement iMac, I don't even trust its WiFi capability - and with a desktop, why should I ? I simply purchased a Cat-6 Ethernet cable, and wired it into my Time Capsule ... To heck with WiFi ! ... Remember: don't download ANY system updates wirelessly ! Don't do it. ... Apple will rue the day they did away with Ethernet connectors on their computers ... - The same goes for CD-based software, or at least some other "physical" means for software installation ...
But, as for future system updates, and how they affect this new iMac ? - If they screw it up, I'm not messing with it ! - Apple's getting it back, the next day ! I'm not going to go through five months of testing, repairs, forced new purchases, etc. etc. ever again ...

Syncing outlook over a iMac and Mac Book Pro

I'm having some trouble figuring out how to sync outlook over a iMac and Mac Book Pro without connecting them by a cable each time.
Had the Mac Book first and did a migrate to the iMac. Everything is working fine but when I open an email on one it doesn't show that its already been opened on the other.
Is there a way to get outlook to update itself, or a program out there that will do this for me.

It sounds like you're using a POP mail account. POP accounts do not send any information back to the mail server, so another computer downloading the same mail will have no idea what has been read and what hasn't.
IMAP accounts do have two-way communication with the server, so you will be able to sync read mail, as well as store folders on the server and have them accessible to both computers.
Check with your mail provider whether they have IMAP access. You may have to change the server addresses and ports that Outlook uses, but they will be able to give you that information.
Caution: if you end up removing the POP account and adding it back in as IMAP, make sure you save your inbox and sent mail to a local folder first - otherwise it'll be lost.
