Problems with volume when streaming a Netflix movie from my Mac Book Pro (Mid 2009) to my flat screen TV?

Hi!
Does anyone know what I need to do in order to turn up the volume when I’m streaming a Netflix movie from my Mac Book Pro (Mid 2009) to my flat screen TV?
I hooked up the HDMI adapter from my Mac to my TV and it is currently in Mirror Mode, but I can’t turn up the volume, the only audio I’m able to adjust is on my Mac.
I’ve already tried: System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers Built in output.  That’s the only option my Mac gives me.
Any suggestions?

Hello jguti,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your external display connected via HDMI is not being detected by the computer.  At this point, the best bet for your next troubleshooting step would be to reset the system:
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.

  • How do I do to conect an Emac with a Mac Book Pro Mid 2009

    I want to conect my Emac with my Mac Book Pro Mid 2009 in order to share and move files. I bought a firewire cable 9 pins to 6 pins and conected both computers but I am unable to see the hard drives and move files.

    You eMac will need to be booted into Target Disk Mode.
    Restart the eMac and hold the T key. It will then show up on your MBPs Desktop.

    Did you also update Adobe Flash Player to be compatible w/your new OS?

    i Have a 2011 Mac Book Pro hooked up to a HDTV via a thunderbolt outlet to HDMI.  THe only picture I get is the galaxy picture that is the initial desktop on the Mac.  It won't change. This isn't even my current desk top window.  Does anyone know the problem?

  • Mac book pro mid 2009 shuts down after a few hour then will only boot after waiting and pressing power button numerous times. I am running mountain lion with most recent updates.

    Mac book pro mid 2009 shuts down after a few hour of use and then is very difficult to reboot. Sometimes I have to wait hours, sometimes I have to repeatedly press the power button and then it will slowly start a little longer each press untill it completely boots. It has done this three times know.  Each time I was watching a video.

    Try running the Apple Hardware Test - sounds as if you've hardware issues.

  • HT4799 Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen.

    Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen and no picture.

    Many online media providers block this - Sky and Amazon Prime do too I believe.
    I would have to assume that the app providers cannot offer video Airplay for contractual reasons with the movie studios though it may just be they don;t want to enable their apps to do so.
    It's not Apple preventing this, while you could see it would be in Apple's interest to push people to the iTunes store for media it could also drive people away.

    As  to iPhoto
    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
    For iMovie support please post in the iMovie forum

  • Mountain lion and the problem it causes. How can I watch my Mac book pro mid 2010 on my TV passing through an amplifier for 5.1 sound?

    Hi guys,
    before Mountain Lion came out, I had my Mac Book Pro mid 2010, nicely connected to my DENON AVR-1912 amplifier through HDMI. The Amplifier would send the signal to the TV and manage the Audio as well.
    Since Mountain Lion came out, I could not anymore use my iWires HDMI cable to connect my MacBookPro to the amplifier, as my Mac would not recognize anymore my amplifier as a TV and therefore would not give me the display option that it used to give me with Lion. Result- I can not adjust the signal that goes through the HDMI cable and the signal is not recognised by the amplifier and then  transmitted onto the tv. NO SIGNAL
    So I went to the apple store and was told I could use the Apple tv 3rd Gen to do that. So I bought it, and went back home. After having installed and realised that it didn't worked as well,  I've called the Apple customer Service. They told me thta unfortunately, since I have a Mac Book Pro bought in mid 2010, I can not benefit from the mirroring function (Come on an i7 processor is absolutely good enough to do that). I asked if I could upgrade my Mac to a machine able to do that as I need this functionality. I was told I can't. I have to buy an other machine and sell mines through their recycle program....
    So I returned my apple TV 3rd Generation, and decided to buy a VeeBeam HD. This product says that I can easily stream from a Macbook Pro with an i7 and 4Gb of ram to my TV. However, when the Veebeam arrived today, I tried to install it... and it didn't work, why? Because Apple has changed some "protocols" and does not allow anymore third party companis to produce products that stream data from Apple products to a TV.
    So... my dear Apple, how am I meant to watch what I've got on my laptop (movies, music and stuff) on my TV going through my Amplifier now? It really seems I can not go by cable (the cable Apple sells- iWires), I can not use the Apple TV3rd Gen, and I can not use third party products.
    IS this normal to you?

  • I need to transfer files applications etc from a Mac Book Pro to a Mac Book, but I want certain files/applicaitons to be available only under certain users. DO I transfer everything first then move it into different accounts or can I set up accounts first

    I need to transfer files applications etc from a Mac Book Pro to a Mac Book, but I want certain files/applicaitons to be available only to certain users. DO I transfer everything first then move it into different accounts or can I set up the different user accounts first & select what goes where when I migrate?
    Thx

    Do you have a backup that you can restore from? Your old hard drive seems to be the problem.

  • I purchased a hdmi cable to watch movies and slide shows from my mac book pro to my sony bravia tv. i get picture through the tv but no sound. what am i doing wrong?

    I purchased a HDMI cable to watch movies and slide shows from my mac book pro to my Sony Bravia TV. I get picture through the TV but no sound. What am I doing wrong?

    Go to sounds in system pref and select outputs. When the hdmi cable is plug into the tv it will show as an option under output. Just select that option.

  • Why won't videos sync with iphoto from my mac book pro to my ipad

    I have downloaded photos and video taken recently to my mac book pro, however when I sync my iPad to my mac book pro just the photos are imported, the videos are not transferred to my iPad, why?

    They need to be in the correct format to play on the iPad 2.  This is 720p H.264 Main Profile 3.1, AAC audio at 128k bitrate stereo.  You can transfer videos to the iPad really easily with Pic Share it.  You just drag and drop them from the Mac to the iPad and the video will show up in your camera roll.  It's a free application.

  • How do you transfer rented movies from a mac book to apple tv?

    I have downloaded some movies onto my mac book pro, but want to watch them on my apple tv. How does one transfer from the computer to the ATV?

    I'm pretty sure you can't. I complained about this because I couldn't even airplay a rental movie from my ipad to my Apple TV. The support team game me a free rental for my troubles and said if I want to watch rentals on my Apple TV then I must rent it from my Apple TV. The rental prices and restrictions are bad enough, not being able to stream it to my Apple TV is just ludicrous.

  • I have a mac book pro mid 2011 and it overheats is there any known issue with this model

    I have a mac book pro mid 2011 and it overheats is there any known issue with this model

    Are you gaming or watching videos when the unit heats up? As your core temperatures rise, it's normal for the fans to speed up - but if you're not running any CPU/GPU intensive apps, it's not normal for your MBP to heat up or for the fans to run high. Download the free iStat Pro widget and either record or take a screen shot of your temps and fans speeds. Oh, and your MBP should not heat up just because you're using the power adapter.

  • Do you need an antivirus when windows 7 is installed on a mac book pro?

    do you need an antivirus when windows 7 is installed on a mac book pro?

    Microsoft Security Essentials is free and decent, don't beg you for cash.
    Just keep Windows updated and don't use it online for anything except for updates if you can all help it.
    Use OS X to go online and grab files, clean them using the free ClamXav before passing them onto the Windows side.
    When you first setup Windows and have it updated, use the free WinClone to copy the Bootcamp partition to a external drive for safekeepiing.

    Sounds like a possible permissions issue, try repairing the permissions using Disk Utility.
    You can open Disk Utility several ways.
    1. Use the Spotlight in the Upper Right corner of the screen and search for it, then click it to open it.
    2. Open a new finder window (File> New Window)
    - Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility
    3. Click on the Finder
    - Click 'Go' in the menu bar across the top of the screen.
    - Click Utilities, then double click on Disk Utility.
    Once Disk Utility is open there should be a column on the left side, the name of your hard drive should be listed there.
    (By Default it is named Mac HD or Macintosh HD)
    Click on it to highlight it.
    There should then be a few buttons you can click
    - Verify Disk Permissions
    - Repair Disk Permissions
    - Verify Disk
    - Repair Disk
    Click Repair Disk Permissions
