Macbook pro to flat screen

I have an "older" MacBook Pro that doen't have a mini HDMI port. Is there a way to link the MacBook to my flat screen tv? I just got back from a trip to Norway, and would like to show my IPhoto slide show on the big screen.

Jerry,
The only Macs that have any HDMI port are the Mac Minis. A couple of suggestions though, first please post in the MacBook Pro forum, this is an iMac forum. Also please look up the specs for your computer and see what type of video output port it has, from there you can purchase the appropriate adapter cable. You can find the specs for your system by clicking Support in the upper right corner of this page, then navigate to Tech Specs until you locate your system.
Best of luck!

I dropped my macbook pro and the screen is broken can i still use it with an external monitor? Or can I or how do I transfer hard drive files to my mac mini?

I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!

I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have the cable, just connect it to both and the desktop will show up on the external display. Then, you can select different modes, changing arrangement in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement, or using shortcuts > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5019

Is it possible to connect my 2008 black macbook, to my new 2014 macbook pro retina display screen to make a dual monitor. If this is possible what cables would I need to buy?

You can try using Screen Sharing in the Sharing preferences. Or try a third-party utility such as ScreenRecycler.

NEW Macbook Pro anti-glare screen choice

Hi,
    I did not see the NEW Macbook Pro anti-glare screen choice.
      Did Apple Stop offering the anti-glare screen option on the NEW 2013 Laptops?
                  THANKS!! - Randy

If you look at the specifications for the 15" non-retina MBPs, you will note that anti-glare option is available.
Ciao.

MacBook Pro and Samsung screen compatibility

Hi there
I have a 13" MacBook Pro 7,1, screen resolution 1280 x 800. I also have a Sony HDVD camera [HDR-SR11E].
I am thinking of buying a Samsung monitor for ease of video and picture editing -- SAMSUNG 2333HD, which has a 23-inch widescreen display; 16:9 Aspect Ratio; 1920 x 1080 Resolution; 300 cd/m2 Brightness.
Apparently it has "two HDMi sockets, a DVI input and a VGA entry"
Is the aspect ratio of the Samsung compatible with my Mac and do I have to purchase any extra peripherals to make these pieces of equipment work together?
Thanks for any clear, simple help anyone can give

There are two different models.

My macbook pro shows blank screen when I started..help me..

My macbook pro shows blank screen when I started . (It's like in same state when power off. ) fan sound and hard disk is running. So i connected it Through external monitor via mini display to VGA cable. I can see everything on external monitor. My display of Mac needs to change? How much it cost ?? I found so many forum discussion said that if nvedia card is faulty then its happen...let me know suggestions...I given it to apple care service station n they r telling yr display needs to change its cost me a lot.. I can't afford. And can't spend that much for 3 yr old version as new versions of macbook pro is cost vice reasonable.. can I have any suggestion?

If running 10.7 or later hold down Command-R at Startup.
This should invoke recovery Mode.
Choose Disk Utility.
Select your Hard drive. Inspect the SMART Status in the lower right of the window for "Verified".
Select the Mac OS X Volume (originally Macintosh HD) click (Repair Disk)
If errors, run again until it comes clean or gets stuck.
Report any error messages.

I1 DISPLAY PRO and DISPLAY MACBOOK PRO 15 " GLOSSY SCREEN

"Ciao" to all.
I recently i bought a macbook pro 15 "glossy screen. Would like to try to calibrate the monitor with a i1 DISPLAY PRO produced by X-Rite. Some of you have already tried? with what result?
Many thanks for the responses.

I talked to AppleCare; they referred me to Customer Service to arrange a return of the MBP and shipment of a new replacement. They said since it was a defect out of the box not to repair it, just go for a replacement.
Sounds good in the long run, but being without it for a few days will be painful!

Tiny crack in Macbook Pro 13 inch screen?

There's this tiny v-shaped crack in my macbook pro 13 inch screen. Inside the v shaped crack it's cloudy and i can't see the screen clearly through the v shape. The crack itself is rainbow colored and at first I thought it was water or something. But it didn't come off. This is about a three week old macbook pro and I haven't dropped it, slammed the cover, or anything. I've been so careful. I just noticed it a few minutes ago. I was doing stuff on my laptop, and my eyes wandered.. To the little crack. What could it be? Will Apple Care cover this? I swear I didn't do anything to it.
Julia

Apple may class this as accidental damage, whether it was or not as it could be hard to prove. However, it won't hurt you to take it into Apple or phone them up to see if they can do anything, especially if you've only had it a week.

My late 2011 Macbook Pro suffers from screen corruption on wake up - once password is entered the screen refreshes and performs OK. As hardware must be OK is there a driver or software fix?

Hi I wanted to let you know that the hard drive is bad I am meeting with the apple manager tomorrow since my laptop is no longer under warranty but I had previously brought the laptop in for the same black screen when the warranty was good.. Have any pointers on how to approach them ? I'm seriously disheartened by this especially since my 2006 white MacBook is running like a champ with no problems ever which is why I decided to buy another MacBook but one that was capable of running Lion

My macbook pro (retina display) screen goes black after 4 minutes.

I have already deselected all the energy saving options.

From what you describe, the computer is going to sleep.
Have you restarted and reset the SMC?

Time to take a trip to the Apple store genius bar for a free diagnosis. It could be a faulty GPU, faulty display or a bad display connection.

ps : i dont have warranty

See A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac. I would suggest you try reinstalling OS X.
If you are running Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
