MacBook Pro connected to TV via rocketfish. Picture but no sound.

I have successfully projected computer screen onto to tv through rocketfish; however, sound is not coming from tv--just computer. How do I get sound to project through tv?

how is it connected? display port to hdmi?
What year is your macbook. IIRC, only recent macbook pro's output sound through hdmi. If that is your case, you will need to run a cable from the computers headphone jack to the TV

    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

    I hope this helps!
    All the best,

  • MacBook Pro - connect to TV via HDMI Mini Display adaptor

    Can't connect macbook pro to my TV and view/listen to what's on my mac on the tv. I am using an HDMI cable from the tv to a mini display port HDMI adaptor. When I go to system preference, display it doesn't have an Arrangement tab to mirror. It only gives me tabs for Display and Color. Any help would b appreciated.

    Hello pdr4d,
    Based on your post it seems you are unable to get video on an external display. The following article may help you find a solution:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays - Apple Support
    Check connections
    When using an external display be sure to check the following:
    If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
    Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
    Monitor and Display Adapter Table
    About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
    Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
    Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
    If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
    Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
    If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

  • MacBook Pro Connect to TV via HDMI with Toslink...???

    So I have a MacBook Pro (Mid 2009) and using a Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI will not give any audio. Only MBP (Mid-2010) I did sum research and found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STx9PN7TPoc&feature=related which connects a Audio using a Mini Toslink to Toshlink adapter which is connecting that to a AMP. My question is: If i connect the Toslink to my TV (since I don't have a Amp) Will it still give out audio? I'm a little confused. Any help anyone...??

    To Csound's good advice, let me just add that there may be a specific HDMI port on the TV that you must use if you're going to send audio to the TV separately. This should also be explained in the TV's manual.

  • Macbook pro connects to wifi via safari but IE has connection problems. Has always been fine but recently stopped working. Urgently need to sort it out. Please help.

    I have been running Rushcliff Private Practice Software (PPS) in a Windows environment using Parallels on a macbook pro for months. Everything has been working well. PPS needs an internet connection to allow synchronisation with colleagues using the same software.
    Over the last 2 weeks, I keep losing the IE connection but am still able to connect to Wifi using Safari and other PCs.
    Please can someone help? Urgently need to resolve the problem.
    Many thanks.

    Your issues are with notebook, not a workstation tower, and with Parallels and Windows. Maybe with Lion thrown in.
    Hopefully you know where Parallels forums are and also that you installed Windows natively first on its own partition so you can test and run it direction rather than as a VM only as well as that sometimes takes the VM out of the equation.

  • MacBook Pro connection timeout message for personal hotspot but works on iPad. Any suggestions?, MacBook Pro connection timeout message for personal hotspot but works on iPad. Any suggestions?

    I am having issues with my personal hotspot. I can connect an iPAD to it but the MacBook Pro gives a connection timeout error. Sometimes it asks for a password but when I type in the correct one it doesn't recognise it. Any suggestions? My software is up to date and I have deleted the password in key chain but this doesn't seem to help. I am a bit technically challenged so simple language please. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Fixed!
    Two things together have restored connectivity.
    1.  I changed the name under Settings > General > About > Name from My Name's iPad to iPad of My Name.  I read somewhere that iOS 7.0.1 or 7.0.2 (I forget which) sometimes had issues with apostrophes here.  Easy enough to test.
    2.  I then reset (again) the APN settings under Settings > Cellular Data > APN Settings > Personal Hotspot and reentered our provider's info (APN, Username, Password) there.
    I don't know WHY it worked, but the personal hotspot is now happily sharing (again) internet connectivity with my MacBook Pro.

  • Macbook Pro connecting to Sync Pix digital picture frame? Help!!

    I have a late 2008 UMBP. My mother and I bought a Sync Pix digital picture frame that we are giving my grandmother for Mother's Day. The picture frame says it is Mac and PC compatible, but when I plug in the picture frame using a USB port it does not show up on my desktop. It has shown up one time, but has since disappeared and can not get it back on my desktop. I have tried both USB ports on my computer, and both ports on my father's late 08 UMBP as well. I can see it in Disk Utility, but can not drag or drop photos. I just need to drag over some photos to it so I can ship it as fast as I can to get to her by Mother's Day. Any help would definitely be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    Mea Culpa, the subject should read "Does NOT recognize picture frame."

    i have connected my macbook pro to my tv via MDP to HDMI port cable, all that is showing up is the basic desktop image without any icons, what do i do to correct this

    Your MBP is running in "extended desktop" mode, where the two screens together make one larger area to display windows. You can drag one or more windows from the primary (internal) screen to the secondary (TV) screen. By default, the secondary screen is off to the right of the primary screen.
    If you would prefer the two screens show the same image, you want to switch to "mirroring" mode. You will have to pick a single resolution for both screens, which may look poor on one or the other.
    Both the relative positions of the two screens in extended desktop mode and the switch to mirroring mode can be set in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement.

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

    Found your answer:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5887?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    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!

  • 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 connected to HDTV full screen problem

    I connected my Macbook Pro to my TV via HDMI. When i have an application on the TV (safari) and press the full screen button (upper right corner with the 2 arrows) my Macbbok display shows this grey area. If fulscreen an application on the Macbbok display the same thing happens. Aslo when i navigate through the full sceen apps in one display hte other display also changes. Is there something that solves this problem?

    This is just an educated guess, but I think your problem may be distance. It sounds like you've got 60' of cable running to a splitter, then more cable to two TV's that are 50' apart. This article seems to indicate HDMI distance isn't reliable with that much cable.

    An easy test would be to try it with shorter cables. If that works at least you know where your problem lies.

    You don't.
    Need a internal optical drive and the Hardware Test on disks is old and outdated anyway.
    Your machine has lasted a long time, congratulations, they usually only last about 4-5 years.
    They get clogged up with dust and overheat, kills the video card, there is nothing you can do as it's hardware damage over time.
