MacBook Pro to HDTV via ATV

Is it possible to use ATV as a wireless bridge so that my HDTV can serve as an external monitor for a MacBook Pro?

Thank you. Would be a nice feature, since ATV occupies my last HDMI port and stringing a cable would be ugly and a pain.

MacBook Pro to hdtv via thunderbolt gone wrong..

I hooked up my MacPro to my hdtv and was playing around with the resolution. The screen has now gone green and won't revert back... Anyone know how to fix or am I buggered???

Which screen? The MacBook Pro or the TV?
If it's the MacBook Pro, it sounds like the video card has gone bad, probably through the process of multiple changes of the resolution, but maybe nothing at all. If it's a relatively new MBP, just take it back for repair. The video card cannot be replaced, the whole motherboard needs to replaced.

Connect Mid-2009 Macbook Pro to HDTV via Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter

Hello,
I'm trying to connect my Mac to my HDTV via a Mini Displayport to HDMI converter I bought at the Apple Store. I have tried on three different HDTVs, none of which allow me to output video. I have tried adjusting the resolution to every available resolution under system preferences. Any advice as to how to resolve this problem would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Jordan

I'm having the same problem, also with a 2009 13" MBP and a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. Does anyone out there have a solution? Do we need a different kind of adapter? My tv is a Samsung 720p. My boyfriend can connect his PC laptop with an HDMI cable with no issues.

Macbook Pro to HDTV via HDMI no audio with video

So I plugged in my MBP to my tv via HDMI this weekend and for some reason I was getting no audio when trying to watch a video online. I tried multiple websites to see if that was the issue, but nothing seemed to work. I was using Chrome but didn't try any other browsers. The video played but I would get no audio through my tv. The kicker was that when I played a song from iTunes, the audio would work just fine through the tv. Has anyone ran into this problem?

Morning kirstenpolley,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you know the hdmi cable is good.
You may want to try a different input channel or a different display adapter.

Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

If you use an HDMI cable, the audiostream will be integrated, so there will be sound when using an HDMI cable!
Not necessarily. That only works as stated if you have one of the most recent MBP's that has a built-in HDMI port.
If the MBP only has a Thunderbolt or miniDisplayPort, you need an appropriate adapter cable and even if you use an HDMI adapter or cable to connect to your HDTV there is no guarantee it will carry audio. You have to determine if your specific MBP model supports audio out through its miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output, and whether the adapter does likewise.

Macbook Pro to TV via HDMI - image way off center

Early 2008 15-inch Macbook Pro to TV via HDMI worked at first, now image is way off center on TV (like only showing a sliver of the computer image at the edge of the TV screen). Philips says it's an issue with the computer settings, not the TV. Any suggestions?

No Mirroring in Ipad 2? I have IPAD2 and Apple Tv 4.3. I can airplay videos/music from Ipad2 to my HDTV via ATV, but I cant mirror it. When I select airplay to switch from Ipad2 to Apple TV, Mirroring does not show as an option. What am I missing?

Audio problem with boot camp when I connect my windows 7 macbook pro to HDTV

I have windows 7 32 bits installed on my macbook pro and I setup boot camp 4. When I connect my macbook pro to HDTV using mini display cable, the audio doesn't work. Although I set the default sound device to digital audio? help please!

I've found that jiggling with the audio connection to my Mac Pro when running in Boot camp, I get audio OK. I don't understand why -- because I always get audio when running in Leopard.

How do I set up my MacBook Pro to print via wi-fi to my printer

How do I set up my MacBook Pro to print via wi-fi to my printer?

It is rather hard to know how to help you since, among other things, you didn't tell us what printer you own, what you've tried thus far, and what happened when you tried it. Your printer came with documentation and it may have even come with a disk that takes you through the process step by step. My first two suggestions are that you (1) make sure you know the password and SSID of your wireless router. You'll definitely need the password and you might need to know the router's ID name. (2) read and try to follow the instructions that came with your printer. In general, I've found that Canon and HP instructions and setup software are quite good while Brother wireless printers, at least in the past, have been rather flaky to set up (but work fine once that initial headache is dealt with).

Using Carbon Copy Cloner which is quicker firewire 800 Macbook Pro to external hard drive or Macbook Pro to same via Airport Extreme?

Using Carbon Copy Cloner which is quicker firewire 800 Macbook Pro to external hard drive or Macbook Pro to same via Airport Extreme?

Firewire 800 is the fastest and most reliable. Also it's bootable if you hold the option key down on a wired or built in keyboard. Not bootable via Airport obviously or if Filevault is used.
It's only your first clone that's usually takes the longest, it's shorter when it updates as you only do the changes which you can control to keep a pure clone if you wish.

How to migrate PowerBook G4 Tiger to new MacBook Pro 15" Lion via ethernet cable? Migration Assistant to old to update, apparently.

How to migrate PowerBook G4 Tiger to new MacBook Pro 15" Lion via ethernet cable? Migration Assistant to old to update, apparently.

Ah, a Powerbook. I miss that. Anyways, I believe that the Powerbook G4 has an Firewire 400/800 port. Why don't you do that? It's fast, and you don't have to set up one of those funky reverse wire ethernet cables. I wouldn't use Migration Assistant, but that's just me. Too many issues. I'd start up your brand new MacBook Pro and during the setup assistant, it'll ask you to transfer data from an older Mac. Using firewire with a Target Disk Mode, it's pretty fast.
If you have already opened up your new Mac and are using it, then use Migration assistant, but also with the Firewire (preferably 800).

How can I connect my new macbook pro to HDTV, either wirelessly or via a cable?

I just got a Macbook Pro about a month ago and I'm trying to figure out how to connect it to my HDTV. Is it possible to connect it and simply use the HDTV as a display that way?
Ideally, I'd like to connect it wirelessly, but if not, I understand that a cable should work. I tried to look for a cable from one of the Macbook Pro's ports to the HDMI port on the tv... but couldn't find anything. My old Macbook had a DVI port and I don't think it exist anymore (unless I'm missing it).
Hope to hear back soon.

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."

MacBook Pro to HDTV

When I connect my MacBook Pro to my HDTV through a mini display port to HDMI cable w/audio support I only get video no sound from the TV. How do I get sound on the TV?

which macbook pro do you have? only the late 2010 models started to support sound via hdmi.
for the rest of us, we need to use the headphone jack with a miniToslink to toslink (otical audio). Most tvs and recievers from the 90's will have this input.
