Setting up my mackbook pro on an LG TV.

Hello everyone - I am having a few problems hooking up my macbook pro to my LG TV.
For some reasons every-time we set it up, it ignores the aspect ratio and resolution doesn't fit, the aspect ratio on the mac is 1280x800 but the tv can't match it, either making it bigger or smaller, unlike the PC which mirrors it completely at the ratio 1680x1050.
This is a late 2009 macbook pro, 13 inch and it's a standard widescreen LG HD ready TV. I am hooking it by an Audio & Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Pro.
Do we need a driver, or is this a compatibility issue?
Thanks
George

connecting MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) to Hisense TV with audio?!?!!?

i want to connect my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) to my Hisense LED LCD TV, ModelNumber:40H3E  and getting digital audio sound from my TV as well as video, but have no clue on how or where to even start to successfully pairing the two and getting sound.
I own a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) this MacBook model doesnt support an HDMI port. My MacBooks model has the Mini Displayport which supports video out but does not support audio out. Can someone help me by telling me exactly which Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with audio will support my model MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) and exactly what HDMI wire do i need to buy that will successfully preform digital audio and sadisfying quality visual through TV?
i have NO expierence with the proccess have NO knowledge about any of this or these Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters with audio. i have no idea what kind of adapter and HDMI cord to buy that will give me sound from my tv for my type of macbook. '
im not familar AT ALL with any of this so i hope me giving you my MacBook Pros make and model and my TV's model number will be enough information for someone to help me.
just please give me anything you can on this topic
thank you so much,

  • Mackbook Pro + Aperture 3 + 1TB drive + Time Machine + Carbonite....work f

    Mackbook Pro + Aperture 3 + 1TB drive + Time Machine + Carbonite....work flow?
    I have Carbonite On-Line back up running incremental (wifi to the cloud) backup in the background I just learned that I can nominate folders for it to ignore..
    So... to prevent it grinding away needlessly using up resources, I was daydreaming I would import RAW files from my camera into to a "TEMP" folder that I would have Carbonite ignore
    I am disciplined at sorting through shots directly after importing them..
    Perhaps I can also get Time Machine to ignore that "TEMP" folder too? (Although hard drive storage is less of a worry...
    This way I only back up 'keeper shots'?
    Am I getting warm? Is this a valid workflow / back up regime?
    I hear Aperture 3 has file management functions that are helpful.. But I am not up to speed with what they are...
    Carbonite WONT back up attached drives - only the Laptop own drive.. And I want my 'keeper' library shots on two back up systems..
    Am I missing a trick? Looking for do's and donts - pitfalls to avoid etc.. I want to set things up the right way from the beginning, I plan to migrate all my RAW operations from iPhoto / Elements set up on a MBAir to a new MBPro running Aperture 3 in about a week.
    Suggestions please..
    Thanks in advance!

    During the initial setup for TM, there was one screen that required username wd_backup and password admin. Later I changed the username for the TM folder to garyham58 and a personal password. That is the username and password I am looking for.
    As I understand it, the original name and password were supplied by WD and stored on the NAS. Any changes would have been stored on the NAS. And resetting it would have to be done via the NAS.
    I would think that there is some way to reset TM and start from scratch
    I fear you may have already done part of that, inadvertently, since the folder shows no contents.
    But it's not a password for the Time Machine application; it's the sharing of the WD disk, which is done by WD. When you back up with Time Machine to a simple external HD, there is no password for the drive. When you back up over a network to a Time Capsule, or a USB drive connected to it, you set up the password, if any, via Airport Utility, and I believe that's stored by the router as well as in the keychain on your Mac.
    Do you still have the original 250 GB HD? If so, your best bet may be to get an enclosure for it, from http://www.macsales.com/ or the like. You can put the HD into it and connect it to your Mac via USB or FireWire, and it will become a normal external HD. Then you can start up from it and "clone" the HD to the new one.
    Then you might be able to re-establish contact with the WD, and see your backups, unless they got erased during all the problems, or erase it and start over.

  • Can I set up my Macbook Pro to boot to Win 7 from an external drive?

    Rather than partition my internal drive for having to work with Windows & Office 2010 (specifically Access 2010) can I set up my macbook pro to boot to Win 7 from an external drive?

    No, not with Boot Camp. I've never even tried it with a VM (which I use) - I keep all the data on my internal drive. I'm not saying that it couldn't be done with a VM, I've just never tried it.

    how to set adobe acrobat 9 pro as pdf default program on mac snow leopard OS?

    I say to highlight more than one if you can because if the PDF you highlight was made by using Acrobat, it will change all PDF's made by Acrobat but if you have one made by some other product, it may not change them to open with Acrobat.
    So in other words, at some point you may have to do it to a PDF made by some other product.

    What's the problem?
    Any help in finding a solution is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Installed AcrobatXI PRO 11.0.09  on seven computers and laptops. Two of them gives an error when you try to save a document in WORD, EXCEL, Power Point, or when exporting to... error: Save failed to process this document. No File was created.
    But all good saves in the format of TXT and jpg.
    I have uninstalled and restored and re-installed and updated and registry cleaned and removed using the special utility Cleaner Tool for Acrobat, but nothing helps.
    On one notebook with Windows 8.1 and Microsoft office 2013, on another laptop with Windows 7 and Microsoft office 2010, the same problem, although there are computers with Windows 7 and Microsoft office 2010 and everything works.
    Tell me where to find the problem and how to solve it.
    Thank you.

  • How do I set up my MacBook Pro to print via wi-fi to my printer

    How do I set up my MacBook Pro to print via wi-fi to my printer?

    It is rather hard to know how to help you since, among other things, you didn't tell us what printer you own, what you've tried thus far, and what happened when you tried it. Your printer came with documentation and it may have even come with a disk that takes you through the process step by step. My first two suggestions are that you (1) make sure you know the password and SSID of your wireless router. You'll definitely need the password and you might need to know the router's ID name. (2) read and try to follow the instructions that came with your printer. In general, I've found that Canon and HP instructions and setup software are quite good while Brother wireless printers, at least in the past, have been rather flaky to set up (but work fine once that initial headache is dealt with).

  • Is it easy to set up a Macbook Pro alongside an existing iMac?

    How do you set up a Macbook Pro alongside an existing iMac please?

    Hi,
    We'd like to do everything, basically - to have the 2 machines completely in synch so that we can access all documents, photos, email, iTunes, between the two. We have Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 on the desktop so under its second user licence, I want to install that on the Pro. We also have Pages on the iMac but would this be shareable with the Pro or is it one App per machine?
    Thank you!

  • Mackbook pro 15'' a1226, problem in the video chip, PLEASE HELP!

    Hello, my name is Carlos Garcia from Chile, I have a 15'' Mackbook pro model a1226, no Series. w8******x91, everything was fine until one day when you turn off, no more picture tube, the machine turns on and even boot the OS, but does not generate images, so check this problem with Apple's solution, however in the distributor of my country told me that the guarantee of the four years ended in January 2012, and that I contact Apple Store Mexico, right now I am very disappointed by the support provided by the Apple people. Please appreciate that I can tell I do, if there is any solution for this problem or I think just buy a new machine, if so do not think I could ever trust Apple again.
    Thanks from now.
