Macbook white to tv hd?

I was wondering what kind of cord i would need to plug into from my macbook to my 46 inch hd tv.?
Thank you for all your help

The newest MacBooks do send sound through the mini-DVI port, but older ones do not. Go to Applications/ Utilities/ System Profiler. If your MacBook is described as 7,1, it will support audio. Anything earlier requires a separate audio cable.

  • Macbook White 13'' Top case cracks

    Hi.
    I am using Macbook White 13'', late 2009 model, it has got two cracks on the top case (behind the display) on the right and left side, that seems to be a manufacturing problem because I have seen the same cracks on my friends laptop.
    Can anyone tell me if there is any replacement program for the case.
    Thanks

    There is currently a MacBook Bottom Case Replacement Program but none for the top case.
    Best of luck.

  • Cracks on either side of the hinge on my Macbook White Unibody (purchased mid-2010)

    Hi there. My Macbook White (purchased mid-2010) has developed cracks at either end of the hinges, and they are beginning to move up the back of the screen. I am no longer under warranty, and was wondering if they would repair it, and how much it costs?
    Also, my friend had a similar problem, and by the by off to university next year so funds are tight, and he, having had to pay £180 recieved a brand new Macbook Pro. I wondered if I would perhaps be able to benefit from the same treatment?
    Cheers.

    i had the exact same problem with mine and i hadnt even noticed it ! i took it in to the apple store for another problem that i needed doing and the person serving me notcied it. Now my laptop was out of warranty, but the guy said that they would repair it for free. I thought this might have been a gesture of goodwill as i have had so many problems but when i looked it up, they had done it for alot of people. Plus they did it in one day.
    but if you have to pay the bill said
    Display Module                   £150.00
    Hardware Repair labor         £24.00
    VAT                                  £34.80
    Total                                  £ 208.80

  • Scroll lag/high scroll latency (not slow or jerky) MacBook White Early 2009 (MacBook 5,2)

    I'm having a strange problem that's not easy to explain. It will probably take one or two reads!
    I have two Macs, one has the problem, the other does not:
    2009 MacBook White 2GHz Core 2 Duo - 8GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM - NVIDIA 9400M 256MB Dedicated - OS X Lion (HAS PROBLEM)
    2009 Mac Mini 2GHz Core 2 Duo - 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM - Intel GMA 950 64MB Shared - OS X Lion (DOES NOT HAVE PROBLEM)
    The problem is with scrolling with a mouse wheel or trackpad in various apps, iTunes in Album List display mode is the example I'll use.
    I have the same iTunes library with around 4,500 tracks on BOTH Macs.
    When I scroll the list initially everything is fine but with repeated consecutive scrolling actions either in the same direction or alternating (with any mouse wheel, magic mouse, built in trackpad or magic trackpad) the response slowly gets further and further behind the physical action to the point where I will stop the physical scrolling action and iTunes continues to scroll mimicing my previous actions (including any slowing, speeding up and direction changes) for 5 seconds or more until it catches up. It's NOT jerky, it just starts to lag behind.
    The strange thing is that if I open another app (like Terminal), move it completely out of the way so that the entire iTunes window is visible but the other window still has focus and then scroll the iTunes window without it in focus there is no delay at all and the responses map the physical scroll actions 1 to 1.
    I did have MagicPrefs installed but have uninstalled it. I've tried shutting all apps asside from iTunes and it makes no difference. I've tried an SMC reset, no joy. There are no repeating messages in console.
    Any ideas? It's bugging me a lot.
    Thanks!
    Marc Roberts

    Compare what's going on in Activity monitor (Applications > Utilities > Activity.monitor.app) when you are getting the delay and when you scroll withoud delay with a different input window selected.
    Do the same with your mac that doesn't have the problem, and see if there's any obvious differences. Post back here any processes that are consuming a lot of CPU time, and the page in/outs/swaps.

  • Mini DVI to DVI + DVI to video out - anybody tried this on Macbook white?

    Hi there,
    reading the posts in the forum it seems quite clear that the mini DVI to video adapter is not compatible with the new Macbook white (early 09).
    Has anybody tried to use a mini DVI to DVI and a DVI to video adapter together? In theory this combination should work but it is possible that Apple has done something to make this combination not working.
    If that is not possibl, has anybody got any other ideas on how to connect a Macbook to a standard tv with the 3 RCA pins (yellow for video and red and white for audio)?
    Thanks a lot
    Mike

    No, Mini DVI to DVI and then DVI to Video won't work either. But this will work used in conjunction with a Mini DVI to VGA Adapter:

  • Problem with Mini DV to Video Adaptor on MacBook White (early 2009 version)

    Hello, i realise for some odd reason that the above mentioned adaptor is not designed (anymore) to work with the update macbook white. The only two adaptors left which do work are the mini DV to DVI and mini DV to VGA.
    So my question is the following, how do I plug my MacBook white into my TV, knowing that the only input I have (old but still very good TV thxs) on my TV is an S-Video or a composite input?
    I cannot seem to find any adaptors or converters anywhere but i'm not quite ready yet to buy a new tv.
    Thxs,

    You're welcome, pweester.
    And thanks for the star.
    ... whats so different to using s-video or composite which justifies blocking it??
    Your question is answered here in my original response:
                  ... According to this post
      http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9081206&#9081206
    by user Ziatron, Apple's latest MacBooks cannot output directly to analog TV due to some kind of digital copy protection that is built into these new Macs. That is why the older adapters do not work.
    New legalities of digital copy protection seem to demand that newly designed Macs prevent protected programming from playback other than on devices that meet the new legal requirements. Your "old tv which uses s-video or composite input" apparently does not meets the new requirements and, therefore, is not supported.
    ... RW-DVD ... burn ... to watch and stick it into my PS then.
    That can certainly work for programing that is not covered by digital copy protection prohibitions. However, you may need counsel regarding whether this approach is legal for media or AV products with digital copy protection restrictions.
    I honestly hope they will go back on this decision ...
    (Click this link if you want to see)->Paragraph 2.1.2 of Apple Discussions' Use Agreementsprevents us from discussing this matter here.
    Rather than posting here in this user discussion forum, you can use (Click this link if you want to see)->MacBook Feedback to send comments or suggestions directly to Apple. You will not get an answer, but you can be certain that Apple will see your input for consideration in future products.
    ... this really upset me.
    You bought the latest white MacBook, and, as a result, enjoy the benefits of all the improvements available only in the current version of the MacBook. The information about which adapters could work with your new MacBook was available at the time of your decision.
    However, depending upon how upset you are, how recent your MacBook purchase, and which features are most important to you, perhaps your retailer will allow you to exchange or trade-in your new white MacBook for a different Mac that can still use the adapter you want.
    ... my old pc could connect without a worry in the world....
    Not being covered by the current digital copy protection requirements, not only older PCs, but older Macs could, too.

  • Do I have to back up the data of my macbook white unibody if I am changing the screen because of the crack problem at the the back of the screen?

    Do I have to back up the data of my macbook white unibody if I am changing the screen because of the crack problem at the the back of the screen?
    They told me to bring it to the genius at the apple store. They will change it for free but I don't have any physical place to back up my computer, they said it will take a coupe of days. I am not really sure if I have to back it up.
    Thank you.

  • The optical drive on my Macbook white keeps ejecting DVD's?

    So am trying to upgrade to snow leopard on my older intel based macbook white, but the disc just ejects, first I thought it was a problem with the disc, but I tried with another DVD and did the same thing. CD's seem to work fine.
    Tried the disc utility repair and safe mode and all that but no joy. So I also have a newer aluminium macbook which works great, so I was wondering if it was at all possible to use the optical drive on my newer macbook to install the disc on my older macbook using the remote disc facility? I know its for the Air but is there a way to make it work for my non air macbook. I wanna see if this is possible before I go to the expense of getting an external DVD drive or even getting it fixed by apple which im sure is gunna costa an arm and a leg!
    Or is there something else I can try to get my dvd section of the optical drive working again?
    Many thanks
    Hannah

    If I were you, I'd uninstall Power Manager entirely. I don't particularly like any of Lenovo's software. Each and every one has caused me problems so I've gotten rid of them all.

  • Using Wireless in Windows 7 on Macbook White

    Hi, I recently purchased a Macbook white and have both Mac OS 10.6.2 and Window 7 installed using Bootcamp.
    However after setting up everything in the Windows 7, including drivers from the Mac OS installation disc; the network adapter (Broadcom 43xx) has no driver, i scan thru the disc, found a Broadcom driver and reloaded it, and yet did not help. So the Windows 7 could not setup wireless except connect directly to the router.
    Can someone advice.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Windows 8.1 on Macbook White Mid 2010!

    Hey! I installed Windows 7 on my Macbook White unibody mid 2010 model. When I got it I noticed that I needed Windows 8 an application I'm using alot so I installed it. When I installed it I had to install boot camp to get my sound to work and the special keys on my built in keyboard. But the Boot Camp driver I installed says that it's not compatible with this computer model. What do I do now? How do I get it to work? Is there any way for me to use Windows 8 or do I have to re-install Windows 7 and if so how?

    Quick update -- I've tried resetting the pram, running the windows startup repair, and running bootrec.exe through the command prompt. No luck with those so far.
    Just opened disk utility and saw the screenshot below....could be part of it, but I've deleted the partitions several times...

  • Can I upgrade HD to 750GB, 7200rpm on 13-Inch 2008 macbook (white)?

    I've just ordered a 'Western Digital Scorpio Black 750GB, 7200rpm, 2.5-inch internal Hard Drive' to upgrade the internal HD on my Early 2008 13-inch Macbook (white). It is only subsequently I've thought to check if there may be any issues with this, and I've read conflicting information. Some sources say the maximum compatible HD memory is 500GB, some say the maximum rpm is 5400rpm, others say 750GB and 7200rpm are compatible with the 2008 13-inch Macbooks.
    I don't want to open the sealed packaging of the new 750GB, 7200rpm Hard Drive if I'm going to have to return it. Can anyone conclusively advise if this Hard Drive will be compatible with my Macbook?
    The Macupgrades website shows a 'Seagate Momentus' 750GB, 7200rpm drive as being compatible, but only shows the 'WD Scorprio Blue' 750GB version, which runs at a slower 5400rpm - it doesn't mention the faster Scorpio Black (7200rpm) version (scroll further down the page to view HD compatibility): http://www.macupgrades.co.uk/store/machine.php?name=macbook
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Tanja

    Did you ever find out if this is possible? Did you try the drive and it worked out for you?
    I'm actually considering the same drive, so I'd love to hear what happened.

  • MacBook White - Possible to reload OSX from an external harddrive?

    Ok heres the problem, I own a MacBook White (late 2006) my harddrive and optical drive have failed, I have replaced my harddrive but I'm currently in a pickle with the optical drive (im a university student and funds and time are not on my side).
    My Question is can I copy the OSX Install disk onto an external harddrive and boot/install from that? If so how can this be done?
    thanks for any help and advice received.
    Jay.

    Thanks for the reply, I'll be using a PC with windows XP to create the partition and disk image...
    I assume this will work fine? also from what I can see on that page I will only need to partition 4gb of the Harddrive for Tiger...
    So again assume I could use a flashdrive with the required space.
    Thanks again for the advice

  • I have a 2007 13" Macbook White. Is there any way to upgrade my OS from 10.6.8 to anything above 10.7?

    I have a 2007 13" Macbook White. Is there any way to upgrade my OS from 10.6.8 to anything above 10.7? I keep getting an error message when I try to download 10.8.3 because Apple didn't make it compatible with my machine, but I really only need 10.7. So is there ANY possible way to do this with my current Macbook? Thanks for the help guys.

    I have a 2007 13" Macbook White. Is there any way to upgrade my OS from 10.6.8 to anything above 10.7
    According to these system requirements, no, there is no way to go higher than Lion (10.7), as Mountain Lion (10.8) will not be compatible.
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    Also note that both Lion and Mountain Lion are memory hogs and the realistic minimum RAM should be 4 GB; you can run it with 2 GB, but depending on how you use your machine, you may not be happy with its performance.

  • 2009 Macbook white slow to boot after upgrade from 10.5.8 (Leopard)to Mountain Lion   SSD

    Ok, I have a 2009 Macbook White w/ 2Gz Core 2 Duo, 2Gb RAM, 120Gb HDD and NV9400M graphics.   Mountain Lion finally tempted me to do the upgrade and I wanted to take the opportunity to upgrade to SSD as well.    Here's what I did:
    Originally my 120Gb was partitioned as 90Gb on 10.5.8 and 30Gb on Bootcamp for Window Vista.
    I upgraded Macbook from Leopard to Mountain Lion while it's still fitted with the original HDD.   Gotta give credit to the lads at the Genius Bar who helped me with the clean install while keeping the Bootcamp partition intact!
    I then took out the HDD, stick it into a USB3.0 HD enclosure, then put in my brand new SSD. (Plextor 128Gb SATA3).   I booted from the 10.8 recovery partition on my old HDD via USB, partitioned the SSD, then 'restored' the HDD's Mac OS X partition (now 10.8) onto my SSD.   Relatively painless process, and as a PC geek, I can't complain!  :-)
    Here's the situation:    Now that I've gotten Mountain Lion to run on my 3yr old macbook white on my brand spanking new SSD, I was actually expecting really snappy performance but no.   I noticed now it takes much longer to boot:  I was so 'convinced' that the combination of SSD + Mountain Lion would give me such a significant boost that I couldn't care less to write down the previous boot time.     Right now it takes about 40-50 seconds for me to even see the 'apple' sign and another 15-20 secondds to get up & running.   That's without anything running in the background as it's still a clean install.
    Read a few old posts it seems a common issue but given that I have a clean install, I wanted to make sure I haven't done anything wrong.   
    Last but not least, I also noticed while I booted from the 10.8 recovery partition from my old HDD, there's also an option of doing 'clean' reinstall of 10.8 on my SSD.    I tried that but it ended up being a HUGE wait.    The estimated time just kept growing and when it hits 6hrs, I cancelled it.   What does it do and is it normal to take such a long time to complete?   I rememeber the upgrade from Leopard to Mountain Lion took abt. 1.5yr...

    Actually just noticed something interesting:
    If I press and hold down the option key when I switch on the macbook, I will get to the boot screen whereas I can choose between my main partition and the recovery 10.8 on my SSD.  Once I select the main partition, I'll be able to complete the booting, total time is abt. 30 seconds.  
    So my guess is that if I don't force the boot screen, then the computer is running some process in the background that WILL eventually boot from the main partition?   
    Is there any setup I can do/tweak to get the computer to boot straight from the main partition?
