Macbook Pro connected to Phillips Smart TV

I have connected my MacBook Pro 17", early 2009 to a brand new Phillips 46" SmartTV 2012.
Using Apple DVI-HDMI cable into HDMI on the TV - That works fine - picture is good.
But when i comes to Audio out from the Macbook Pro I´m using minijack and connect this to Audio in on the TV - There is no Audio??
It says in user manual that it support only PCM and AC3 audio-formats - What audio-format goes out of MacBook Pro trough minijack?

What resolution settings have you tried?

Macbook Pro connection to Sony Bravia LCD Color TV

I have a macbook pro and I'm trying to connect it a Sony Bravia LCD Color Television. The macbook detects the sony tv and brings up a dialogue box about it. However, on the tv it says no signal. Anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening?

I had the same problem with a 1080i Bravia Sony and a MacBook Pro connected with a DVI-HDMI lead - it turned out to be a very simple solution - you have to make sure you are looking at the right AV channel on the TV. The mapping of AV1-6 to the ports on the back is not obvious at all (in this case it was AV4 that was the correct AV port). The Bravia also has the option to skip AV channels if desired - so if in the preferences you have disabled ports then you need to make them available to skip through.
The picture is very sharp indeed with a DVI-HDMI lead - far far superior to a vanilla SVGA cable. Sound is automatically selected from an analogue input (2xphono) on one of the HDMI ports so make sure you select the right one on the back.
(p.s. just to emphasize - the DVI-HDMI does not map to the 'PC' port it is another AV channel)

MacBook Pro connection to Sony BRAVIA KDL32EX308

Hi,
Can I use Apple's VGA Adapter to connect my MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.5.8) to Sony BRAVIA KDL32EX308. Is it compatiable? If not, which adapter I should buy?
Thank you in advance.

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:
Mac notebooks: How to use your computer in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display

My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

try this.
get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
see if that sorts it out for you.
good luck.

Can a supported macbook pro connect to an iphone 5 via airdrop?

Found your answer:

Note: AirDrop for iOS supports only iOS 7 devices. You cannot use AirDrop on iOS to share with OS X, and OS X users can't use AirDrop to share with iOS devices.
Yes, I was surprised too!

Hi,
Create a play list that you wish to burn. Select playlist, the file from main menu which gives to an option to burn the playlist. A pop up box appears allowing you to select burn speed and disc format.

MacBook Pro connected Cinema Display lid closed - is this alright?

I have my Macbook Pro connected to a 23" Cinema Display and I was just reading something about heat and wanted to make sure its fine to have my Macbook Pro connected to the Cinema Display with the lid closed. Actually, I'm guessing there's no problem as only rarely do the fans kick in and this has to be when the CPU is being held wide open for an extended length of time.
However, I thought I'd just bounce it off the forum to make sure this is fine. I think I asked Apple ages ago when I got the display and they told me it was fine. I've run it this way I suppose for 2.5 years so and everything runs fine. But, I know this thing can get hot when I sit it on my lap which is rare now since I have a iPhone.

It's fine to do that, but personally, I would leave the lid cracked open about an inch to aid in cooling. Air is drawn in through the keyboard.

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....

Did it ever work?

Macbook Pro connects to campus wifi but suddenly Safari/Mozilla will not load anymore.

I've had my MacBook Pro for a while now, it's still running Leopard, but that hasn't been a problem. I woke up yesterday morning and the Airport says its connected to the campus network, but when I open Safari/Mozilla/Mail, it will not load, and eventually says that the server will not respond.
I have connected to this network for over a year with no changes/problems
it literally happened overnight. I left my computer to sleep like I always do and when I woke it up in the morning, the internet wouldn't load.
internet works when I use an Ethernet cable
my roommate is sitting next to me with her newer macbook pro connected to the same network that is fucntioning just fine. So it's not the network (not that I could do anything to it if it was)
I've restarted, turned off Airport and turned it back on, deleted network preferences, put in the exact same IP address that my roommate has (hers is different from mine, but mine will not connect with the one she is connected to)...
HELP?

I solved my issue and I believe it was router related. I have a router through Verizon and their Fios service. My router was old so I caled for a replacement. when I received thereplacement I switched it the router to only accept 802.11n and this did the trick. Problem solved, stupid router.

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!

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.

MacBook Pro Connecting to a Samsung TV HDMI trouble. Please help ^^

Hi, I have been trying to connect my Macbook Pro to my Samsung TV LE32B530P7W (HDTV) with a MINI DISPLAYPORT to HDMI adapter and then the HDMI cable to the TV, but nothing shows up on the TV (it says no signal), what should I do to make it work?? Do I need to change settings on the Mac? on the TV? Also, the Mac's screen flashes blue as if it recognizes an external screen but the tv says "no signal"....
I have also tried clicking on GatherWindows and Detect Display but nothing happens...
please help XD

I've never heard of that brand, but I can tell you that the StarTech HDMI cable works fine on my 50" LG TV. Not all HDMI cables are created equal, and the HDMI spec is a moving target. When I connected mine, the MBP started flashing, looking for displays, and I switched the TV to that HDMI input while the MBP was looking. It sync'd perfectly. I've also got the genuine Apple DVI adapter, and got nothing on the same TV.

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.

Why can't my Macbook Pro connect to iPhone 5 in any way (lightning cable, Wi-Fi)?

I have a Macbook Pro, I bought it in June or July or 2011, so I'm not sure which model that makes it. But anyway, just recently, I noticed that when I plug my iPhone 5 into it, it does not recognize or acknowledge that my phone is plugged in at all. It doesn't show up in iTunes, or anywhere else for that matter. I've also noticed that with the lightning cable, it will only charge my phone on one side. I've tried plugging my cable into both usb ports, but still, the lightning cable only works on one side. I tried another cable, same thing, but when I plug both of them into my wall charger, both sides work fine.
So after my Macbook didn't recognize the phone through the cable, I just thought "eh, whatever, I'll wirelessly sync it." So I go to the settings on my phone, go to iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, and it says "Sync will resume when "Austin *****'s MacBook Pro is available." but no matter what I do, the computer never becomes available. I've considered that it might be the phone that's the problem, because I don't have another computer to test it on, but I don't see how it could as I just got this iPhone 5 just over a month ago, and it has not been dropped, or gotten water on it or anything. If anyone can help that would be amazing, as the employees at the Apple Store like to always tell me I have to buy something new, and that isn't an option right now.

Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
