MacBook to CRT TV... is it possible?

Hi all,
I have a 13" MacBook that I purchased in January 2010. I also have a very, very old CRT TV with an RCA port. I would like to hook up my laptop to the TV to watch YouTube videos and Netflix "watch instantly" videos on my TV screen.
After some internet research and phone calls, I'm still not confident I have the right answer. Before I go out and buy stuff, I wanted to...
A) See if anyone has done this successfully in the past
B) Make sure I'm buying everything I need but nothing extra
My best guess is that I need to buy...
1) RCA jacks
2) mini display port to s video/composite
3) apple mini dvi to video adapter
Will those give me video AND sound? One website said I will also need...
4) Audio Jack to RCA Audio Converter
One tech guy I spoke to thought even if I get picture and sound to the TV from the computer, it will be distorted and he thought I could probably only do this successfully with a newer TV.
Assuming that I know little about the ports on my laptop, and less about the ports on the TV, does anyone have any input on this project? Do all of the jacks I mentioned plug into each other or are there other parts I would need to buy to connect everything?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
The later MacBooks (aluminum - late 2008 to present) have a Mini Display Port that is Digital Only. Your TV takes an analog signal. The older MacBooks had an Analog Mini DVI adapter with Composite and S-Video.
There are third party products - I bought the GrandTec PC to Video EZ Scan converter - that connects with the Mini Display Port to VGA adapter for the MacBook. It is powered via the USB port on the MacBook and offers S-Video and Composite (yellow plug) connection to the older TV's. It works. You need audio cables (Red and White) using a signal splitter as well as an RCA to RCA cable
So, the Mini DisplayPort to VGA goes for $29, the Converter for $29 at Amazon and the cables and splitter would be about $10 at Radio Shack.
It's not beautiful but if you absolutely need it, it will work. There is always the possibility of a new TV or a video projector.
Hope this helps.

  • My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

    My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

    Hello Douglas,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the built-in iSight camera on your MacBook Pro.  I recommend the following steps for this issue:
    Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
    Built-in iSight cameras
    These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
    See if the issue is application-specific.
    Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
    See if the issue is user-specific.
    Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
    Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
    Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
    Reset SMC or PMU
    Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
    If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • Macbook to CRT (RGB SCART)

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook (13inch-mid 2010) and I'm wanting to connect to a SONY Trinitron CRT 4:3 with a RGB scart on the rear. So I can use MAME OS X and get those arcade perfect pixels
    If I get a mini dvi to vga then a vga to scart cable would it work?
    Mini dvi to vga>vga scart>RGB connector on tv
    OS 10.6.8
    Kind regards,
    Retro Gamer

    I never even heard of SCART until this post and had to look it up in wiki to find out what it is.  That wiki article had a reference to this article.  And if what it says is true, no, it will not work.  The pertinent comment is near the bottom of that article:
    A video projector with only VGA style RGB connector might be a good candidate to try, but a normal PC monitors are out of questions (in SCART the HSYNC frequency is around 15.6 kHz but VGA monitors want at least 31 kHz). Video projectors can usually handle the HSYNC rate used in normal video (15.6 kHz) without problem even on their VGA connector (check technical data or tech support to make sure of that).
    ...or make that a big maybe it won't work.  Since your monitor uses that SCART, not VGA, you would think that the higher frequency signal put out by the macbook would be more than what is required by the monitor.  So in the end, I am not sure.  The "fun" part about connectors/adapaters is stringing them together and seeing if they work.  These adapters aren't too expensive so you might as well give it a try.

  • 2011 Macbook Air - Multiple logic board failures - possible causes?

    I have a 2011 i7 macbook air - 7 months old.  About a month ago I went to use the computer after allowing it to sleep and it was totally dead.  Apple authorized repair center said the logic board failed and needed to be replaced.  Fast forward a month and I finally get the machine back.  It works fine for 6 hours, I put it to sleep, and soon as the screen went out, I hear a pop, fizzle, then the machine is dead again.  The authorized repair center wants to replace the logic board again, which should get me up and running, but its not likley that that is the root CAUSE of the problem here, since it happened twice now.  I suggested to them that perhaps the power adaptor, battery, or some other component is the issue and they don't think so.  I'm located overseas, and every repair attempt takes 1 month b/c of parts (total joke if you're listening apple!!).  My biggest concern is that they replace the logic board again, I'm out of commission for 2 months now, and it just fails again.  Does anyone have any suggestions on the possible causes of this problem? 
    As FYI - I'm using the same power outlet and power strip with another laptop and haven't had any similar issues.  Thanks for the help!

    I have logic board problems too. I have had a late 2010 mac book air for 2 and half years. Its been a great machine in general - although it did go back within the warranty period for the track pad
    Now it has logic board failure - symptons are the sound going and  the battery is dead and it is unable to charge which means every time you put the power lead on the computer thinks it is starting from scratche.
    I have been quoted over £400 for the repair!  Like the above post I do not believe that this part should fail - and if it does then it is a major design problem and Apple should be doing something for us. I just dont know where to start.
    I have used macs for 14 years and owned eight along the way. Most have them have lasted many years with full functionality  the record was my G3 imac which was still working after 13 years.
    I really cant believe the situation I am in and rather think I have bought my last mac!

  • Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro? And is it possible to upgrade the RAM without voiding the warranty?

    Hi I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the graphics card on a MacBook Pro and the RAM without voiding the warranty? I have a gt 650m in my MacBook Pro, non retina, and to me, its not enough power for me, so i was looking around, and I found a retailer that would give me a nvidia gtx 660m for a decent price. Also, the ram needs to be at least 12gbs, to ensure that my computer would run fast.
    If you can help, please tell me,
    Thankyou.

    No, the video card cannot be exchanged - you have a pretty decent GPU there; not sure why you'd want to switch it out. You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 16GBs. Apple recommends upgrading in matching pairs, so I don't really think I'd try 4GB and 8GB stick.
    Both Crucial and OWC have memory available for the new Macs. Both are reputable dealers and know Macs well and I would only buy from these sources (and I would buy Crucial, were it me).
    Although your Mac didn't come with a users manual outlining the installation of the additional RAM, you can download the late 2011 model users guide as the models themselves are almost identical.
    Good luck - write back with any questions.

  • Has anyone upgraded your MacBook Air SSD? Is it possible?

    Just out of curiosity, Can you upgrade your SSD? Have any of you upgraded your SSD in your Mid 2012 MacBook Air? If so, what did you use and how much can the 2012 Air SSD take?
    THANKS

    This is what I found below on the OWC site. My Macbook Air is 5,2 and it says that it is compatible.  I checked the video and looks pretty straight forward. I am just looking for what people's experiences were and what the outcome was... Has anyone upgraded their SSD to 1TB? Good or bad idea?

  • Macbook Pro WD Firewire 800 issues possible work around

    I have been having issues with my Western Digital My Passport Studio and the Firewire 800 connection. The drive would mount and was completly readable however copying to the drive would result in a stall. The USB connection worked perfect. I have found if I disabled the Wi-Fi connection I could then write as usuall without error.
    I have read of people having issues with thier firewire connections and am curious to know if this helps anyone else. The most popular responses have been RMA the drive or the Macbook. I have also read peoples dealiings with Apple thus far have not been very helpful either. Hope it helps seems to be working for me thus far. Hopefully a fix is in the works 'cause I love my MacBook and the drive.
    This is the current (late) 2011 MBpro with OsX Lion 10.7.2

    I can only answer part of your question. Your SLR has mini HDMI and a mini USB out. Your MBP has three ways to connect: USB, FW 800 (9 pin) and Thunderbolt (which is ao far supported by a limited number of devices).
    As far as I know, you will not be able to use On Location with the Canon. But I could be wtong. Good places to ask are the Adobe forums and Canon forums.
    Good luck.

  • WD 750GB in MacBook 1st gen. Is it possible?

    Hello friends,
    I'm just about to upgrade the original HDD from my MacBook 1st generation and I'm a little confused with the options I got. I looked over the web and found a Western Digital 750GB 2,5" 5400 rpm that looks like it would fit (9,5 mm). Here is the link to WD web page http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=815. Is this option right for a MacBook 1? I surf the web trying to find some pieces of information from Mac users of this drive but I couldn't get any help. Can you give a hand??? I would really appreciate.

    Yes it will fit. The only problem that I see is a conflict between the ShockGuard on the drive and SMS (Sudden Motion Sensor) built into the MacBook. If it becomes an issue, the SMS can be disabled.

  • Brand new  I macbook continually drops wi-fi connection - possible solution

    I know that there are many people looking for help on this, and no definitive solution. There are many (too many) LONG threads and a lot of "solutions" which may or may not work for you, including PRAM zaps, kext.cache trashings, router resets, encryption removal, password type changes, and on and on. The following I found on another site, and so far it appears to be THE ONE that has worked for me (knock on wood). IT IS VERY SIMPLE and I have no idea why it works, that's for the engineers and Apple to explain. I should add that in my case I am connecting to a third-party plain generic .11g router.
    What you're going to do is TURN OFF IPv6. (If there's a penalty for doing this, I haven't noticed it, and it's far better than losing the connection all the time.
    You go into your network pane of system prefs. and for the configuration that you're (trying) to use you look for where you can configure IPv6. Under Leopard it is harder to find, first you hit "advanced…" and then you choose the TCP/IP panel. It will show "configure IPv6" probably set to "automatically", the other choices are "Manually" and "Off". Set it to OFF. Once you hit OK, the change is NOT YET saved. "OK" will take you back to the previous panel where YOU STILL have to hit the APPLY button.
    If you're superstitious you might as well save all and throw in a restart with a PRAM zap for good luck.
    This is not my solution. A guy named JP posted it to a thread somewhere else. Here's the part of what he said that matters: " I also was getting frustrated and going out of my mind with my wifi dropping every 30 to 60 seconds, I reverted to what I learned in networking throughout my education, and I simply turned off IPV6 in my network settings, and VOILA, I have not dropped since, and I go from network to network. To disable IPV6, go to you airport settings,Open Network settings,Advanced,TCP/IP, and there you can simply disable IPV6, this is a quick fix that allows you to stay connected without getting booted, without having to modify anything,and if an update does finally become available, you have nothing to try to figure out, just install it."
    Seems to have worked like a charm for me.

    I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
    iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
    My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
    I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
    My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
    Did you ever find anything more to this?

  • HT204053 2 icloud users on one macbook pro???? possible???

    If 2 people use the same mac laptop but their own ipads, how can I set up the mac so that both users are configured for Icloud if you can only enter one icloud address on the Mac?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can use multiple iCloud accounts on the Mac. The best way to do this is creating a second user account for one iCloud account, so open System Preferences > Users & Groups, and press the + button to create an user account.
    After creating this user account, go to  > Log Out, log in the new user account, go to System Preferences > iCloud, and log in with the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud in that account

  • Is it possible to use an iMac as an external monitor for a MacBook?

    What is the process (if any) to turn off the iMac's system and make it essentially an external monitor for the MacBook?

    No, it's not possible. Your iMac simply does not have a "video in" port for the MacBook's "video out" port. While Mike N. (nahyunil)'s option may give the illusion that you have two monitors, it does NOT turn off the system on the iMac. The iMac must be on and fully functional for that option to work.
