If you have a MacBookPro with the expresscard34 slot, a Matrox MXO2 mini will feed an HDTV with HDMI in to give you a fair representation of the material
If you don't have the slot, the best you'll be able to do is use the TV as a computer monitor. This setup will not be appropriate for color grading. In fact, if the laptop doesn't meet COLOR's minimum screen size, you won't be able to run COLOR anyway.

  • I have a new macbook pro hooked up to a belkin wireless router. My HP officejet printer is also connected to the router. I cannont get the printer to work from my computer without restarting my computer evertime I want to print. How do I fix this?

    I have a new Macbook Pro hooked up to a new Belkin wireless router. I can connect to the internet without a problem. I have an HP officejet printer hooked up the the router to work wirelessley, The router is reading it as connected. My computer reads it as offline. If I reset my computer it will print whatever the first thing is in the que but nothing else and does not work after that. Is there some sort of setting that I am missing? I am trying to set this printer up to work wirelessly from three mac laptops in my house but I can't even get it to work on one right now. Any help would be awesome

  • HT201177 I have my macbook pro hooked up to my Samsung tv via HDIC.  I have good video, but no audio.  Can anyone help?

    I have have my macbook pro hooked up to my Samsung tv via HDMI.  I have great video but no audio from TV.  Only what is coming out of my computer,
    Never mind, I lreferenced some other posts with the solution.  Thanks anyway!

    Only MacBook Pro's from mid-2010 onwards support audio through the mini-DisplayPort.  You will need to hook up a cable from the headphone socket to the TV.

  • How to connect macbook pro 15 inch to hdtv ?

    Hi support community,
    I want to connect a mid 2012 macbook pro to my HDTV, but this model has no mini display port, HDMI or VGA port, only thunderbolt and firewire ports. I had a look through the accessories but can't find anything. Am I missing something obvious? I do have a mini display port to VGA adapter from when I had a macbook previously, could this be utilised?
    Thanks in advance!

    You can use Mini Displayport in your Thunderbolt port.

  • Connecting Macbook Pro 15" to Samsung HDTV - Audio Problem

    Hey guys,
    I'm new to these forums so I hope i'm posting this in the correct section! On to my problem...I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.8 GHz- Late 2009 (model: MB986LL/A) and I'm currently trying to connect it to my new TV which is a Samsung LCD HDTV (model: LN46C610).
    The video connection is perfect. I'm using Apple's Mini-DisplayPort to DVI, via DVI to HDMI to my TV.
    The audio connection for some reason is not working.
    I've tired using an RCA cable, which has a regular audio jack on one end, and the 2 coloured wires (yellow + red) at the other end. No luck.
    Now I was told to buy a Mini-Toslink cable to connect from my TV to my MBP. I've plugged the Optical Cable into the TV and the other end to my MBP. Yet I still have no sound.
    Can anyone please guide me on how to set this up? Maybe i'm doing something wrong or i'm using the wrong cable. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Ok i'm in the Utility but i'm confused...where would I go to select it to change the output?
    Because everywhere i've tried...I don't see an option to change it...
    *EDIT: ok I've noticed when I plug in the mini-toslink cable to my MBP, i notice the output source changes from Internal Speakers to Digital Output*
    *EDIT #2: Still no sound when I do that...also on the back of my TV, the digital output connection use to have a red light in it, and now it doesn't anymore?*

  • Connecting a 15.4" MacBook Pro to a Vizio HDTV monitor - which adapter?

    Hi, I have one of the new MacBook Pro models, 15.4", 2.4 GHz, 4 GB Ram, 250 GB hard drive, and an NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT with 256 MB VRAM.
    I have just purchased a 32" Full HD 1080P HDTV/monitor from Vizio (the product's URL is http://www.vizio.com/product.aspx?id=2710&pid=1506) and was wondering if anyone could tell me what the best type of adapter I'd need from Apple to connect this to my MacBook Pro?
    Thanks!

    Suggest that you do a forum search. There are several postings listing items that you need to connect your MBP to a TV. Also, check the manual that came w/your MBP.

  • MacBook Pro 2ghz and 1366x768 HDTV?

    Can a MacBook Pro 2ghz drive a 1366x768 HDTV?
    The Displays pane does show 1360x768, but this doesn't look good with a ldc tv with a native resolution of 1366x768.
    I couldn't find any information on this in the AppleCare area. There is an item that says the Mac Mini (early 2006) can do 1366x768. Apparantly 1366x768 does show up in the Mac Mini Displays Pane. What about the 2ghz MacBook Pro?
    Is this a hardware or software limitation?

    I am connecting my MBP to a 50" panasonic plasma using dvi out from MBP to dvi in connection on TV using straight dvi to dvi cable. Video is stunning! For the audio out to my Marantz AV receiver I purchased an inexpensive adaptor to enable toslink to toslink connection for digital audio into receiver. DVD's play in 5.1 audio goodness! Google Ramelectronics for the adaptors and cables. Couple with VLC for video playback of most all formats. MediaCentral is also groovy, I'm still using the beta, haven't tried the paid version (doesn't support 5.1 audio but does support playing Video_TS folders on hard drive). This is a great setup for viewing IPTV content, avi files, etc. IMHO Front Row is buggy.

  • Why won't my MacBook Pro display to my HDTV?

    I have a 40" Samsung HDTV. I want to connect my MacBook Pro to the TV to use as a display. I have the adapater, and everything seems to be plugged in correctly. And yes, I have the source on the TV in the correct spot. I can see the default purple-ish space theme image on the TV, but nothing else. What's going on? (I tried looking through the archives to answer this on my own but no luck) Thank you!!

    Nevermind. I'm an idiot. Forgot to check "mirror display". All is good. Thanks for checking in and looking at my post all the same

  • Retina Macbook Pro hooked to 27" thunderbolt monitor - apple tv

    My MacBook Pro plays white noice, when I look at SysPrefs/ sound...it show's both my Apple Tv's.  I think it's feedback or something, but how do I fix it?

    No caveats - I leave my ATD connected to my late 2011 15" MBP 90% of the time. When I go to sleep, I put the machine and monitor to sleep (I also have it set for 3 hour sleep in case I forget to manually put it to sleep). I have my monitor set to 'sleep' after an hour of inactivity.
    Just leave it plugged up and let your machines rest when you do - a small drain of electricity but it's not going to hurt your battery life or anything.

  • Which Adaptors/Cords do I need to hook my  mid-2010 Macbook Pro into my new HDTV?

    I heard they changed the port (to include audio as well as video) after my model and I want to make sure I order the right adaptors so I can hook my macbook into my new HDTVs HDMI port.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks,
    Jake

    I don't know that it will carry audio on a mid-2010, but for less than $7 you can try this adapter from Monoprice.
    Worked great on my late 2011. Should work for you.

  • Best way to play movies from MacBook Pro to HDTV

    I have some hi-res 1080p movies on my MacBook Pro which currently runs Lion 10.7.4.  Planning on upgrading to Mountain Lion but my hardware will not support Airplay Mirorring (it's a mid 2009).  I will soon be buying an iPad 3rd generation also which of course does do Airplay to an HDTV.  Somehow can I get the material off the MacBook Pro directly to the HDTV though maybe the new iPad or even an Apple TV?  I will be running the audio through an external stereo receiver/speakers, so just concerned with the video.  Also had read that my model of MacBook Pro only supports video from the minidisplay port to HDMI.
    Best solutions?  I may get an Apple Tv if necessary or anything within reasonable cost including any programs for the Mac or iPad.
    Oh NOTE:  My movies are just avi or mkv files and NOT in iTunes.

    I believe you can do Back up to Disc and burn them as Data Discs. (Be sure to check your burning preferences first.) You won't be able to view them from the burned discs, but you can use them to restore to your library. Burning the movie itself....I doubt you can get it to fit on one CD. Another option would be to invest in an external drive. I hear they're pretty affordable.

  • How can I get my '010 Macbook Pro to use the entire HDTV screen?

    I have both my late '09 MacMini and mid-'010 Macbook Pro connected to my HDTV with HDMI cables.
    The Displays pane of System Preferences on the Macmini gives me the options of 1080p and 60 hZ, which use all of the HDTV screen.
    However, on the Macbook Pro I only get resolution options.
    The HDTV (Sharp Aquos 46") gives me only Stretch, SuperStretch, Dot-by-Dot, and Zoom options. I use Dot-by-Dot because
    the others, while the use all of the HDTV's horizontal space, cut off either the top of the display (Title Bar), the bottom (Dock), or both.
    Is there any way for the Macbook Pro to use all the HDTV's "real estate" like the MacMini does?

    If your MBP can use it, I highly recommend the following adapter:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1824ZM/A/Moshi_Mini_DisplayPort_to_HDMI_Adapt er
    I'd be very surprised if it doesn't have a capable mini DisplayPort, since my not-quite-one-year-old MBP does.  But to be sure, first make sure you've got a mini DisplayPort, then scroll down on the page above and find a user comment titled "How you know if it is supported w/o guessing."

  • Output Macbook Pro to HDTV?

    Is there a single chord that could be purchased either online, or preferably somewhere like BestBuy, that could let my Macbook Pro display onto an HDTV, so I could watch movies on it that I have downloaded, without buying an Apple TV?
    Thanks

    good call, i forgot about the audio... DOH!
    If you have a surround sound receiver, chances are you can use a optical cable for audio like neuroanatomist said. thats a mini toslink to toslink.
    Otherwise use a mini stereo to RCA
