Macbook and samsung smart dvd

Can I connect my macbook OS 10.4.11 to a samsung BD-D5700 BLURAY PLAYER VIA WIFI?

I'm using it in extended display mode and clamshell mode. (BTW: when I use it in clamshell mode, I can wake the MacBook up with the wireless keyboard or the magic mouse, but after a few seconds it goes to sleep again ... strange)

Macbook and samsung home cinema

hi
I'm trying to connect a macbook to a Samsung HT-X620 via bluetooth but unsuccessfully...any ideas? I'm guessing that its due to the Samsung manual reading :
"The Home Cinema System only supports Middle Quality SBC data(up to 237kbps@48kHz), and does not support High Quality SBC data([email protected])."
Not too sure which one the macbook is either...
Thanks

Dual logging: macbook and samsung 2233bw lcd monitor: missing drivers

hi,
this x-mas i got a samsung lcd monitor. it is connected via dvi, and it's great to have all this extra screen space to play with. i have an issue, though. my new monitor is unable to take advantage of all the graphic features because the driver that came on the samsung c.d. is for windows os. there is no driver download for mac osx on samsung.com. i don't really feel like buying huey pro or spyder 2 colorvision. what can i do to 'unlock this monitor's potential?'
thanks and happy new year

well you don't actually need "drivers" for a monitor. the only thing beneficial would be a color profile. the cd probably contains some of those. but profiles need to be monitor, not monitor-model/series specific, as such, bundled profiles are just a "rough guide".
Since you cannot use the cd, you could try calibrating it with the colorsync utility in your applications->utilities folder. There are also some other better calibration tools on the net. a quick search yields good results.
but these eye-calibrations are never as good as the hardware calibration tools. maybe you know somebody who could lend you one?

how do I connect my new (purchased last week) macbook air to my samsung smart tv? I purchased the adapter at the apple store and connected to the TV via HDMI cable. The TV says "no signal. I do not see TV as an option in the display tab of system preferences. what else do I need to do?

First, make sure your TV is tuned to display the correct input signal. Most TVs have several inputs (multiple HDMIs, cable connections, RCA etc) so double-check that you're using the correct one - HDMI1, HDMI2 or whatever is written next to the port.
I assume that you have a mini-Displayport to HDMI adaptor? If you open displays preferences, first tick the box that says "show display preferences in menu bar" then locate the menu and click Detect Displays. See if that helps.

I have a Macbook and a new Samsung Smart TV (series 5500)

I am trying to connect the 2 so I can watch downloaded movies on the Samsung. I bought a USB to HDMI Adapter (brand Auvio) and an HDMI cable. My screen shows up on the TV but when I go to a downloaded show from iTunes or YouTube it plays on my MacBook not the TV. The TV just shows my screen saver. Any suggestions?

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.

Hi Kingofmacs,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your MacBook Pro and TV both have HDMI ports, you can use an HDMI cable to connect the two.
This article can help confirm that your MacBook Pro has the necessary HDMI port:

Ports on a MacBook Pro with Retina display:
You may need to use an adapter to connect your iMac to your TV. This article has more information about Apple video adapters:

Once your TV is connected to your Mac, you can configure it using the Displays section of System Preferences. See this article for more information:

Project MacBook Pro screen onto Samsung smart TV?

There are all kinds of connections on the back of a Samsung smart TV. Is there a way to have my MacBook Pro use the Samsung TV as the display instead of, or in addition to, the existing display on the computer?
Thanks!
-Ed

On Mountain Lion, an AirPlay icon appears in the menu bar whenever a suitable video output device is connected, and the device will appear as a selection. If it does not appear, then there is a communication problem between the Mac and the display device that can be difficult to diagnose.
I don't question the corporate animosity you describe but I doubt it extends to preventing AirPlay mirroring from working properly. Usually it is a matter of configuring your display device to recognize the external input. Make sure you are using a compatible adapter, if that is a factor in your application.
Use System Preferences > Displays to determine if the Mac detects the presence of an external display.

How can I share my photo's, music and video's with Samsung Smart TV?? I am using Lion.

We bought a Samsung Smart TV saturday and now I want to share my files with AllShare or something else.
Is somebody here who knows how to share??

You need some software running on your mac such as elgato's eyeconnect.
This allows your tv to stream content from the mac.
There is currently a free 30 day trial of the software. I have it and it works fairly well although some protected content such as itunes purchased movies do not play although it has no problem streaming movies i have copied onto the mac from dvd's i own.

IMovie '08 Capacity Full and Cannot Transfter DVD's into Macbook

I recently purchased a 13" Macbook Unibody off eBay. The unit is in good shape and the previous owner has installed a Zagg Invisible Shield over the entire Macbook and the battery holds a full charge. I bought the Macbook to use editing some old VHS footage I had converted to DVD.
When I try to import a DVD to my desktop so I can edit it using iMovie '08, I get the error "Unable to create 'DVD Video Recording.dmg' (Input/Output Error). At the bottom of the screen it says DVD Video Recording Capacity 2.1 GB
Avaiable 0 Bytes
Used 2.1 GB
Number of Files 4,293,886,887
The Space Utilized indicates: 20.09 GB and Space Free: 277.69 GB. When I received the Macbook I inserted the Applications Install DVD and entered my personal info. I thought this was the clean install you are referring to?
When I purchased the item, the previous owner stated the only blemish was a dead pixel at the bottom of the screen and he showed a picture of it in his add. After re-installing the applications DVD, this one dead pixel is no longer there. I don't know if this is a clue, but I am including all the info I can.
I checked out System Memory in the Activity Monitor and it indicates
Free:2.97GB ; VM Size: 31.57 GB
Wired: 414.92 MB Page Ins: 167.48 MB

When I double clicked on Activity Monitor it indicates:

Why do these numbers fluctuate every second or two?
Why won't my Macbook Transfer DVD's into the hardrive so I can edit them with iMovie? Thank you for your help.

have you tried my workaround for importing from DVD?
CLICK
.. ok, works only in 95% .. some people complained not all files get converted with this method.. haven't found out why..

I repeatedly get "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshow" message. This process is the same on my iMac, MacBook and another iMac. I have been burning dvd's int he same way for the past 12 months using the exact same steps successfully.

I keep getting "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshows" message. I have been burning DVD's in exactly the same way for the past 12 months and mostly on my MacBook which is 3 years old. Obviously I'm using iDVD. I purchased an iMac about a year ago and moved to use this for dvd burning without problem. A few months ago (approximately) I started to experience problems with burning with the error message above. I tried everything including starting the whole process from scratch right down to capturing the movie clips from my video recorder into iMovie, then using them in iDVD. Still the same message came up. I lost count of how many times I repeated the process with different clips and variations and the same thing happened. This was also the case with my MacBook and my husband's iMac.
After taking both of mymac's tothe service centre, having new optical thingys put it and even a new hard drive on my iMac along with a new DVD burner the same thing happened. They told me it must be the process that I am using that is incorrect!
I took my 27" iMac to an apple shop and asked them to assist me while I use the same technique as I always had. The same message came up so they tried using my clips in one of their mac's. The same message. They tried it with different clips and the same message. The only way we could get theirs to work was with a magic DVD which did not produce what I needed and was limited with only one page.
I now cannot use any of my Mac's for the intended purpose that I bought them for - to produce good media for my work! It was suggested that I purchase some non Mac software to burn DVDs which defeats the object of having a mac with iDVD in my opinion. I have a book on iDVD which is very informative and have followed the process to the letter and checked all the trouble shooting and still no remedy. It was mentioned that an up-date may have caused the problem on all my macs.
I feel that this issue should be addressed by Apple as a matter of correctness.
I now find that on the net there are many posts in forums and such like with exactly the same (almost word for word) problems. Please Apple, keep/regain your good name and sort this out.

Thanks Bengt W for your attention to this matter. So much appreciated. And thanks for putting me right on the aim of forums (new to this). Although, you may regret asking for more information. I've added everything I can below.
The process I used is as follows:
Import recorded clips of between 5 and 15minutes each from my video recorder into i
Edit the clips (remove unwanted start and endng)
Add title to front of clips
‘Share’ them to ‘movie’ (export using QuickTime)folder in .mov format individually
Open iDVD and ‘create new project’
Select ‘favourite’ theme that I have set up forall my work dvd’s (this has been used successfully many times and I’ve triedwithout using the favourite them).
Add 2 submenus for each group of clips
Select submenu - drag and drop between 3 – 6 clips in each of the twosubmenus
Change title colours on clips
Dragand drop image into drop zones where required
In‘map’ view I check for any yellow warnings before burning to disc
In an attempt to remedy the problems I’ve tried the following:
Try new DVD discs
Try different themes (favourites and standardones)
Change images in drop zones
Start whole process again even from importingfrom camera again
Two other completely different computers (iMacand MacBook) with iDVD
Go to apple shop and use their computers to doin iDVD
Try with one clip and no menu pages added
Use a clip that I already have that did notoriginate from my camera
Turn computer off and restart
New hard drive
New optical lense (thing)
New DVD burner
Saving to disc image rather than dvd disc
Other points:
I also have a ‘flip’ and ‘iPhone’ whereI’ve imported footage camera which, although limited, records and makes videoclips and burns them to DVD through iDVD without problem.
For example, I have just gone through steps 5 - 11 using some clips that were already imported from my iphone to iPhoto and dragged across. I used a theme that I've used before which has failed and added one sub menu page where the clip went. It burned to disc image successfully.
The startup disc, I believe will have no space issues asit’s a new hard drive with no use apart from this. That could have been an issue before (I didn’t check it) butnot now.
Other technical stuff that I don't understand but you may:

If you can solve this you are better than the 'apple geeks' in the shop and the service technicians in the service centre (and of course me but that's no achievement).

I have an '09 macbook and want to transfer selected pictures to a disc that will play on my tv's dvd player. How do I do this?

I have an '09 macbook and want to select specific pictures to put on a disc that will play on my televisions dvd player. How do I do that?

OM gosh! After working on this for 2 days, by golly, I got it! I used Free App DVD Creator. I had first tried to burn the disc in PAL Format.....wrong format for the good 'ol USA. After a little research I learned that the USA format is NTS.....so I chose that and it worked! I now have a disc I can play on our dvd player on the TV. Thanks all for above assistance. Problem now solved!

Media smart DVD stopped playing blue rays and no longer responds

I have a DV5z-1200 cto, os win7. i watch a lot of blue rays on it. i just purchased the new tron bluray and half way thru it froze. i tried to shut the machine off but it wouldnt respond. i was able to get into set up and noticed i had a new update (4.something). so i did it and now i get nothing. the drive just keeps rereading the same spot. i have uninstalled the update and when this happened Mediasmart stopped working all together. i reinstalled all the older versions but i couldn't find my original version 3.8 or something like that. i could then get a blu ray to start but now the message about you need to contact your firmware provider on the disk keeps popping up and the disks no longer play. can some one please help.

Uninstall your present Media Smart with Revo Uninstaller, use the trial.
http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html
Restart and install CCleanr and run it's registry cleaner and repeat until it finds nothing. When it finds nothing restart the machine. It will give the option to save a back up of the registry files you are about to delete, save these all as a precaution and note where they have been saved.
Personally I have never had to reinstall the files, but I like to save them anyway, and when you are satisfied that everything is fine, then you may delete them.
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
Here is the Media Smart DVD file. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-87326-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...
Save this to the desk top and right click to go to properties, and in the "Generals" tab it should read Size: 55,380,920 bytes and Size on disk: 55,382,016 bytes. If this is incorrect then you must disable Webroot Internet and try again.
If it is correct down load 7-Zip and right click to "extract files" open that folder and find the "src' file. Open that and look for "Setup" the sixth one from the bottom. Click on that to install.
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html (the one at the top of the list, type exe for 32 bit W7)
Before following this procedure for installation, make sure that you have disconnected from the internet and that your Webroot security is totally disabled. Remember to restart your machine after installing Media Smart and when it says "Press Play to Play" do not do this, it should load by it self.
This is a slightly older version, but I have tested with Tron and Harry Potter with ATI graphics and I know it works. The most recent on your support page is having a problem with some of the ATI graphics cards.
This procedure was discovered by another member on the forum, DavidPK, and so far has been the most successful. I am also hoping that disabling WebRoot will solve the problem here.
