Re:  Not getting audio from TV when connecting MacBook Pro with all correct cables.

How do I get audio from the TV when connecting MacBook Pro with all the correct cables?

Hi Lynn,
If you're positive you have the correct cables, and positive they work, they must be plugged into an input on the TV made for that purpose, then that input must be selected on the TV's menu.

    A FW cable would be far faster & Easier, but with Ethernet you need a compatible version of Migration Assistant running on both Macs.

  • Connect MacBook Pro with Mini DisplayPort to TV?

    I have a 15" MacBook Pro with the Mini DisplayPort outlet. I used to have a PowerBook which I was able to connect to my TV via the video adapter. No such adapter is included with my MacBook. How can I connect it to my TV to view videos, movies, tv shows, etcetera?

    You only need a cable from MBP to Display, i.e. Mini DisplayPort Male to HDMI Male Cable
    Link: http://www.cablematters.com/pc-30-30-gold-plated-mini-displayport-male-to-hdmi-m ale-6-feet-cable.aspx
    It's only $9.95.
    But you know, until now Mini DisplayPort can not output audio but only video. As far as I know Cable Matters Inc. has solution for audio output.If you want high audio quality Mini Displayport Male and Toslink Audio/USB Male to HDMI Female Adapter is good for you since it supports 5.1 Channel audio.
    Link: http://www.cablematters.com/pc-56-26-mini-displayport-male-and-toslink-audiousb- male-to-hdmi-female-adapter.aspx
    The price is $47.95, a little expensive. You will need another HDMI to HDMI cable from this adapter to the TV/Screen.
    If you don't require high quality audio this is an alternative Mini DisplayPort Male and USB Male Audio to HDMI Female Adapter.
    Link: http://www.cablematters.com/pc-24-32-mini-displayport-male-and-usb-male-audio-to -hdmi-female-adapter.aspx
    The price is cheaper for $37.49. You will also need an HDMI to HDMI cable from this adapter to your TV/Screen.

  • Help with Connecting Macbook Pro with LG AX355

    So I recently bought the newest Macbook Pro with OS X 10.5.2. I also just picked up the LG AX355 model cell phone and have been trying to pair the two together to send files from my Mac to the cell phone.
    So far, I have been able to pair the items without any problems. However, when I attempt to send a .mid file to the mobile phone, it connects and then gives me an error message on the phone that says File Transmission Failed and an error message on the Mac that says "The file transfer failed: the connection failed."
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I have enabled the Bluetooth sharing already under my settings. Anything else I'm missing?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Well the very first time I paired the device with the wizard, it told me that I had the option to connect to the Internet via the bluetooth connection I think? As though using the Mac, I could get online with my phone.
    However, when I ran the wizard for the second time, it says I don't have any services except that a computer serial port was created. So, under the Bluetooth preferences pane, I see my phone and under services it says: OBEX Object Push.

  • Where can I get a case specifically for my MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    I really want to get a case/sleeve that really fits my MacBook Pro with Retina Display; however, everywhere I look only has cases for the regular 15" MacBook Pro. I want something that has a tight fit on my Retina. Any ideas?

    My guess is they wouldn't introduce new production line just for the 1 or two milimeter difference. They will probably just change their marketing material and websites to add Retina as compatible. Then again I'm not a manufacturer.
    In reality though, apart from hard-shell cases/sheilds that have to attach directly on the laptop, the cases and sleeves are already compatible.

  • "Mode not supported" when connecting MacBook Pro to HDTV

    When I connect my MacBook Pro to the SAMSUNG widescreen HDTV and hit "Detect Displays", it does detect it as VGA Display and it gives me a bunch of options for resolutions and refresh rates, but there was no "Options" tab where I could check or uncheck "Overscan" and even keeping the refresh rate at 60 Hz, and even trying mirrored and non-mirrored screens, nothing worked. It still said "Mode not supported". I used a dual-link DVI to YPbPr cable which I just bought and my friend can connect his MacBook Pro to his HDTV with the same cable, but it doesn't seem to work for me. What's wrong?

  • Flicker when connecting Macbook Pro to LG 20in LCD

    Hi all
    When I connect my Macbook Pro to my LG 20in LCD (L204WT) I get a flicker on the LCD panel. I've tried the following which all work (i.e. no flicker on the external panel):
    * connecting the LG to my Powerbook G4
    * connecting the MBP to a Viewsonic 20in monitor
    * connecting the MBP to the LG via VGA (d-sub) - although the display seems to be less sharp than I'm used to
    I've used 2 sets of DVI cables, but to no avail. It's only the LG-DVI-MBP combination that does not work.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I selected and tryied all of my tv's hdmi ports and is the same.
    What can i do?
    Thanks.
    R.
    First, mini-DVI adapters are used in MBP's that predate the ones covered in this forum. Nevertheless, there could be any number of issues, the most important of which is you need to go to System Preferences>Displays, and make certain you've set up dual displays in Arrangements.
    Also, remember, in your MBP sound is not transferred through the mini-DVI port. You need to set up sound via a digital TOSlink cable from the MBP to your entertainment system.
    Finally, some iTunes movies have DRM restrictions that will block the video from going to your TV.

  • How can I get files from my "no entry" MacBook Pro?

    I've got a MacBook Pro A1286 that I got a couple of years ago. It crashed with the "no entry" sign recently.
    It's insured so it'll be getting fixed in the next week or so, but they're not sure if they'll be able to recover the data, so I'd like to try myself first.
    It suddenly went kaput, when I go to Disk Utility in the recovery mode, it says everything is OK, but I went through in terminal and it keeps endlessly trying to access the drive and can't. It can see that the drive's there, but can't access it at all.
    I don't have another Mac, nor an external drive, so I'm not sure how I could go about recovering my files. I was going to try burning an ISO of Disk Drill to a DVD and booting from that, but I'm not sure that's possible.

    See mount section. You can run this from Terminal in Recovery.

  • Will not Sync Apps from iPod Touch to MacBook Pro

    I have a MacBook Pro 17" running the latest OS and latest iPod Touch. When I tried to backup the iPod Apps to the MacBook I get the following errors. I have the de-authorized and reset the "iTunes/Store/Authorize This Computer" several times as suggested in several posts but still all I get is the following:
    *Some of the purchased items on the iPod "XXXX", including Y! Messenger", could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you are not authorized for them on this computer.*
    and
    *To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer.
    This computer is already authorized. Including this one, you have authorized one computer out of your available 5.*
    I'm stuck, I have done all this(de-authorized and authorized) several times, I can't upgrade my iPod OS, I can't save my iPod Apps using Sync to my MacBook and what I have found so far on posts leave this same result.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Could the items not transferring have been purchased under a difference iTunes account and thus you are not authorizing the the computer with the correct iTunes account?

  • 27 LED Cinema Display Audio and Brightness when powering MacBook Pro

    When my 27 LED Cinema Display is powering my (or another) 2009 13" MacBook Pro, I have experienced three issues:
    1. The dropped audio problem other users have mentioned. Shutdown, then disconnect power/usb/displayport, then wait ~15s, then reconnect and reboot temporarily fixes the problem.
    2. I also have the sluggish keyboard behavior when adjusting the volume that others have mentioned.
    3. I have experienced shifts in display brightness which are obvious when the display is dimmed. I have disabled the ambient light sensor as well as any interfering power management or energy saver settings. Opening apps, scrolling and other normal activities seem to aggravate this behavior.
    This last strange behavior inspired me to try using a power adapter for the MacBook Pro instead of display's laptop power connector. *Doing so seems to have resolved all three issues.*
    It seems that this may indicate an underlying problem with the display's power supply. Can anyone confirm?

I'd like to utilize the ambient light sensor but not if its going to make my screen flicker when it is dim....
    (1) I have never had any deaths associated with my screen, but on rare occasions my display's brightness will flicker when I manually adjust the brightness. The fix I have found for this is to increase the brightness one more setting or decrease it one more setting. Changing the screen from full dim to full bright and then setting the brightness I want sometimes helps, too.

  • Static Sound When Connecting Macbook Pro to Thunderbolt Display

    Every so often when I connect my late 2013 Retina 15-inch Macbook Pro to my Thunderbolt Display it will product static for about three seconds, it sounds like a wave since the volume increases and then decreases.  I've searched the forums and am just curious if this is a known issue.  It's very odd.

    It sounds like you're already using the best way. The Thunderbolt port is also a Mini DisplayPort, so you're connecting it DisplayPort to DisplayPort. The reason that is the best way is most other cables, including HDMI in my experience, will not reach the 2560x1440 resolution. (HDMI will probably drive that monitor at 1080p, or only 1920x1080.)
    If DVI were to be used, it would have to be the expensive Dual-Link DVI because regular old Single Link DVI isn't capable of 2560x1440. It's a good thing the MacBook has Mini DisplayPort on it instead of DVI (like the older Apple laptops did) because DisplayPort cables are far cheaper than Dual-Link DVI adapters.
    You can't do better than the connection you're already using.
