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?

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.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:

Macbook pro fans go from all the way off to all the way on?

Hi!
My Macbook pro's fans go from all the way off then to all the way on... there is no middle... This only seems to have happened after I upgraded to Lion.
I tryed reseting the SMC already to no avail...
Any help? Please??

Backup your user file folders to a external drive and disconnect.
Hold c and boot off the 10.6.x installer disk,
use Disk Utility to erase your entire drive (select the drive makers name) and format HFS+ Journaled,
quit and install 10.6, use the same hard drive name and user name as before,
log in, Software Update, restore programs from fresh sources,
return your files into their respective folders.
Carbon Copy Cloner your new fresh install to the external drive, it's hold the option key bootable.
Wait on Snow for aother 6 months, then clone again and disconnect, give Lion another whirl by holding option while clicking on Purchases in MacAppStore to download the installer again.
If you want to make "hold c" boot DVD's of Lion and Snow Leopard disks follow these links.

AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way.

AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way. I see both machines on both airdrop windows. Firewalls on both machines are set exactly the same way, and with Network Browser set to allow. Can send a file from Mac mini to MacBook, but not the other way. Never get a window asking to accept on the Mac mini.
Found no useful documentation on AirDrop anywhere in the whole support site.

Maybe this will work. From an Apple support article.
You can also use the Share button to send files to your neighbors via AirDrop. In a Finder window, select the item you want to share, and then click the Share button in the toolbar. For more information about the Share button, see this help topic:

If your Macbook has a Mini Display port and you want to connect it to an HDMI input on your TV you can use the Apple adapter available here;

Connecting a Samsung 5500 32" Smart TV to Macbook Pro using a Belkin HDMI to MiniDisplay Port.

I have a new Samsung 5500 32" Smart TV, and I'm trying to connect it to my Macbook Pro using a Belkin HDMI to MiniDisplay Port. The computer will not recognize the TV as a display (the arrangement tab will not show up) and the TV will not show the computer as a source. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Sorry correction. That is a Mini DP port to HDMI that I am trying but I get no indication Mac is seeing TV. Please help.....

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).

My macbook pro got stolen, is there a way to track it down?

my macbook pro got stolen, is there a way to track it down?

Not if you had not already installed and configured software for tracing it. If you hadn't done that before it got stolen, your only option is to report it to the police and let them handle it.

Close MacBook Pro while using MDP- HDMI adaptor ?

I have the Moshi MDP-HDMI adaptor. It works very well and transports audio well too.
I just want to know if it is possible to close the lid of the MacBook Pro while using MDP->HDMI adaptor ? (as in stopping it from going into sleep mode) So that it can be stowed neatly under the display unit when watching movies/presentations etc. rather than the lid having to be open a couple of inches...

That can be done but there are conditions that must be met. For example, the MBP needs to be plugged into its power adapter. And then an external keyboard and mouse are needed. See here:

To install Windows you can use Boot Camp Assistant or use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox. You can't install Windows as you described in your post.

Can't have sound on my TV when I connect it on my MacBook Pro 2011, with the HDMI adaptor

Can't have sound on my TV when I connect it on my MacBook Pro 2011, with the HDMI adaptor.
On SOUND preferences, I don't have the option for chosing HDMI on the OUTPUT sound.

Do you have another HDMI port that you can switch to on the TV? Is the tv source on the matching HDMI port with the volume up? After checking those try the following:
