Macbook to Samsung 32 inch 720p

Hello. I have a Macbook and a Samsung 32 inch 720p TV. I have recently moved it from one room to another and I suppose that because it was moved it did not keep the same resolution settings as before. Where it used to allow me a 1344x756 (interlaced) display it now no longer does. I was perplexed because my TV is not 720i so I guess I shouldn't have had an interlaced option but I did and it was perfect. I had to got to the number of recent items under the display in the menu bar to find that now i no longer have it. I have tried looking in the number of recent items even set it to ten but still no such option. My question is two part. First why did it change and second how can i get it back? Looked every where. Hopefully someone here can help! Im desperate for a solution. Thank you!

Hey, I think I can help sort of... I just bought a brand new Macbook Pro 13inch last week. I bought an display port to HDMI to connect to my tv and a mini dvi from my computer to the HDMI cable. I would never be able to find the resolutions I wanted. I would always be stuck with the 13inch resolution just blown up on my large 32inch SAMSUNG 720i or pi idk. This looked very odd and more or less didn't allow me to get the resolution I wanted to use my large 32inch like the apple 30inch displays...you get what I'm saying. Well I dl this program called insomnix and had it running. Then I put my computer to sleep manual and it bypass Insominx I think. Then in the morning I turned on my Samsung and was watching TV, I decided to flip on the laptop so I moved my bluetooth mouse and woke my computer up from sleeping. This allowed my tv to pick up the laptop"THE HWOLE TIME THIS IS GOING ON MY COMPUTER IS CLOSED THE SCREEN IS NOT ON AND ALLOWS THE SAMSUNG TO BYPASS THE LIMITATIONS ON SCREEN RESOLUTION I GET STUCK WITH WHEN MY LAPTOP SCREEN TURNS ON FORCING MY SAMSUNG TO ACCOMMODATE". I DK WHY THIS IS ALL IN CAPS BUT IT IS PROBABLY REALLY IMPORTANT TO THE WHOLE SITUATION.

  • Connecting MacBook to Samsung HD TV - Confused !!!

    Hi Guys,
    Waiting for my new Alluminium MACBOOK and I am totally confused over the issue of connecting it to my Samsung 37 inch 2 year old HD TV.
    This is what I have on the back of the TV ........
    DV IN - Audio R L (Red and White)
    HDMI/DVI IN - Thin Slit
    DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (Optical)
    PC IN / Audio
    OK, so the question is what cables do I need to get the best picture being transferred from my MacBook to my TV because I am totally confused if I need to get one or two and which ones?
    I pressume the HDMI /DVI IN will give a better picture ???
    ALso, can I play any files from my MacBook onto my TV then, for example home made movies and my own DVD's etc.
    Hope you can answer this one for me. I have looked at some other posts but have been totally confused by them.
    Thanks Guys

    I have tried playing a movie but the screen then goes blank and nothing happens.
    Going forward, the trend is going to be that you will have to buy a separate copy of the media for each display device you own.
    Apple's new MacBook lines includes a form of digital copy protection that will prevent protected media, such as DRM-infused iTunes movies, from playing back on devices that aren't compliant with the new priority protection measures.
    The Intel-developed technology is called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and aims to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across a variety of display connectors, even if such copying is not in violation of fair use laws.
    Among the connectors supported by the technology are the Mini DisplayPort found on Apple's latest MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air, in addition to others such as Digital Visual Interface (DVI), High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), Gigabit Video Interface (GVIF), and Unified Display Interface (UDI).
    Apple has apparently acquired a license for the technology and is now using it across its DisplayPort-enabled MacBook lines to to prevent transmission of purchased iTunes content to devices that don't include support for HDCP.

  • I own a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) with a 500 GB Apple SSD SM0512F (Revision UXM2JA1Q).

    I own a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) with a 500 GB Apple SSD SM0512F (Revision UXM2JA1Q). I’d like to replace this original SSD with a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 1TB. Am I going to encounter problems in trying to remove & replace the SSDs? That is, are they the same type of SSD, with same connection?
    I plan to have a "tech" do the actual work inside the MacBook Pro, but I'd like to know if the current SSD can be easily replaced with the Samsung SSD 840 EVO?
    Please note that I am so "green" that I'm not even sure if this provides adequate information to answer my question!

    it's not possible to replace your SSD with 840 EVO.
    Samsung 840 EVO is a standard 2.5" drive with SATA connector, while Retina MacBooks use proprietary "stick" form-factor with PCI Express interface.
    AFAIK, there are no compatible PCIe SSDs on the market, the only upgrades you'll find are for earlier (2012) Retina MacBook Pros which use SATA.
    If you're looking for extra capacity, external USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt HDD/SSD is the best option.

  • MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)preview messing with PSD file

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
    2.5 GHz Intel Core i7
    v: 10.10.1
    after turning my PSD painting upside down using preview, preview modifies the PSD document and flattens all my layers.
    now I lost all my layers in my painting!
    Why does preview mess around with PSD documents? Please fix this!

    Hi David.  I don't have as modern a Macbook Pro as you, mine is a 2012 model, but perhaps I can help.  I often find that my SD card will not load when I first insert it.  I have to remove it and then put it into the slot again firmly.
    You also haven't posted any information about the SD card.  What size is it, do you know how it is formatted, has it worked in that same mac previously, where did it come from, does it currently work in another device (such as your camera)?  This sort of information will help to narrow down the problem.
    If you post some more information I'm sure people will try to help you.  In the meantime, if you look at your post again you should see "More Like This" at the bottom of the page and you may find an answer in some of those related posts.
    Hope that helps.

  • Keyboard and Multi-Touch trackpad may become unresponsive on MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)

    Folks,
    I have exacly same sympton described here on my 5 day old 15 inc macbook pro.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5296
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013): Keyboard and Multi-Touch trackpad may become unresponsive
    Has anone tried to apply this patch on 15 inc ?
    Kind Regards,
    Neroshige

    The patch is only for MBP late 2013 13 inch. 15 inch is not able to install this patch
    I'm facing this problem intermittently.
    When my keyboard & trackpad went unresponsive, I plug in my USB keyboard and the keyboard & trackpad went back normal.
    I search the web and somebody highlight it may due to connector to keyboard/trackpad appear to be curled.
    Not sure is hardware problem or software bug...

  • Whats the maximum resolution resolution supported @ 60 Hz on an external display for mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inch ?

    whats the maximum resolution supported @ 60 Hz on an external display for mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inch ?

    I don't know where you found 1920x1080, but that isn't the max. The INTERNAL display can even support more than that.
    The maximum resolution is really hardware based, and since Thunderbolt 2 has a Mini displayport connector (Mini Displayport 1.2), the max resolution for Mini Displayport is 4k (3840x2160).
    PLEASE NOTE: Not all adapters can support that resolution, most monitors that can run 4k @60Hz have Displayport 1.2 (The most recent revision), Mini Displayport 1.2, and HDMI 2.0. DVI dual link can run 4k, but only 24-30Hz, depending on the monitor.
    Hope this helps!!

  • My Macbook Pro 2014 ran out of battery while mid-slideshow. Now the slideshow won't skip through photos and I can't figure out why? Macbook Pro 2014 13-inch Intel i5 8GB RAM 128GB flash, iPhoto library is on external HDD

    Macbook Pro 2014
    13-inch
    Intel i5
    8GB RAM
    128GB flash SSD,
    Integrated Graphics
    iPhoto library is on external HDD
    I was in a slideshow, with around 1,911 photos in it. About halfway through, my Macbook ran out of battery. Now when I restarted and charged the Macbook and reopened iPhoto, the slideshow won't advance through photos, and I can't figure out any reason why it would do this.
    I thought it may be corrupted, so I deleted and reinstalled iPhoto library, iPhoto itself, and disconnected and reconnected my external HDD.
    This didn't work, the photos still won't advance.
    I don't know any reason why this would be happening, and there is ample space on my internal drive.
    I'm happy to provide more information if needed!
    Many Thanks,
    James

    Make a few tests, James, to narrow down the problem and find out, if the slideshow is corrupted, your iPhoto Library, or settings in your account.
    To test, if only your slideshow has a problem, create a new slideshow, just for testing. Just use "File > New Slideshow" and add a few photos. Does this slideshow play correctly?
    If the test slideshow does not play either, create a new iPhoto Library. Use the File menu in iPhoto: File > Switch to library > Create New. Import a few photos and create a slideshow.  Does it play?
    If even a new library does not solve the problem, test in a different user account (see this document:  Isolating an issue by using another user account - Apple Support):   
    This process involves creating a new user account, logging in to it, and testing for the issue.
    Create a new standard or admin user account in Users & Groups preferences.
    Use these instructions for OS X Mavericks.
    See these instructions for OS X Mountain Lion.
    See this video, or these instructions for OS X Lion.
    Optional: If you have any specific files you wish to test with, copy (don't move) those items to the /Users/Shared folder in the Finder.
    Log out of your current user account by choosing Log Out from the Apple () menu.
    Log in with the new account you created.
    Attempt to reproduce the issue you were seeing in your regular user account.
    After you have completed testing, log out of the test account by choosing Log Out from the Apple () menu.
    Log in as your regular account.
    After you have completed all testing with the test user account, you may want to delete it. You can delete an account in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences.
    Note: Prior to deleting a test account, make sure you are completely done with it. If you have files in the Guest User you wish to keep, you should copy them to the /Users/Shared folder .
    If you should find, that slideshows only play in a new user account, post back.

  • Hi, I have a macbook pro 2012 13 inch, everytime i go to watch a video (youtube/uni lectures) online (i use firefox), the video plays but if i go into another tab, the audio keeps playing, but the image on screen will be frozen. It gets really frustrating

    Hi,
    I have a macbook pro 2012 13 inch, which i use for uni and youtube etc. I use firefox for my web browsing, whenever I go to watch videos, from youtube or even uni lectures (for all my subjects) the video and audio play fine, but as soon as i switch into another tab, the audio continues to play whilst the video lags and stops all together, freezing on the current screen. The timestamp on the video players also stops, which gets incredibly frustrating when I am watching uni lectures, does anybody know how to fix this?? Please help.

    Which os version are you using? 
    Which Firefox version? 
    Have you posted in the Firefox forums or contacted their tech support for assistance? 
    Have you made sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?

  • Macbook pro retina 15 inch running Yosemite extremely slow previews/rendering

    Hello,
    So I got the newest version of Macbook pro retina 15 inch (mid-2014) basic model with 16GB of RAM, updated the OS to Yosemite, got Adobe CC on board, was happy for a second until I tried to edit stuff in After Effects. Preview plays at 13 fps at best when rendering something basic as a shape going from one point to the other. If you add footage it is 7fps or something. Already tried some options that were suggested on other threads like disabling App Nap but so far nothing helped. Please help me out, I'm really getting frustrated because of this.
    Also, it takes ages to render final comp form Premiere Pro as well.
