Streaming Netflix from Macbook Pro to TV

Hello,
I would like to stream movies from Netflix on the Macbook Pro to my TV. I bought a Moshi Mini Displayport to HDMI Adapter and plugged into the laptop. I then removed the HDMI cable from my DVD player and plugged it into the adapter. I followed the directions in the set up guide to go to "Sound" in System Preferences to change output to "Built in HDMI Output", but nothing appears and I can't stream on to my tv. Any ideas how to stream or what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks.
lsb

This may be a bit off your topic... I cannot get Netflix to stream any video. I have installed Silverlight and for some reason it keeps telling me to install it. Did you have any trouble with the installation of Silverlight? I have also purchased the cable, but I am still stuck on getting it installed...

  • Streaming video from Macbook Pro to 46 inch LCD

    I am trying to stream video from my 13 inch Macbook Pro to my 46 inch Samsung LCD TV. I am using a HDMI cable to a DVI cable to attach the computer. When I play videos from iTunes, the picture looks great, however when I am streaming video from an internet site such as Netflix, the picture is not great (it almost looks pixilated). I am wondering, is this an issue with my computer (video card, etc) or does it have to do with my internet connection (I currently have the lower DSL connection)? Is there any other way to make the picture look better? Thanks for your help.

  • Stream dvd from macbook pro late 2013 to tv

    Can I stream a dvd from my macbook pro using usb superdrive to tv?  I have a thunderbolt to usb connector.  What else do i need?

    Hello janet159,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact configuration you are describing. If you are able to play a DVD on your MacBook Pro using the external SuperDrive, you most likely should be able to play it on your TV by connecting your MacBook Pro to your TV via HDMI, as noted in this article:
    Note: DVD Player does not support playback using AirPlay Mirroring. If you want to watch your DVD on an HDTV, connect your Mac to your TV using an HDMI cable or a video adapter.

  • Stream audio from macbook pro to tv

    I'm using a MacBook Pro 8.2 and want to stream video to à Sony Bravia TV. I've connected them with à cable from the Thunderbolt port to the HDMI port on the TV. I get the video images but no sound. Is there à way to do this or do I need à separate audio cable?

    There is great risk of confusion since I am seeing the words in Swedish and it is sometimes difficult to tell what the translation should be, but here goes:
    In the System Report there is only one topic with the word sound: "Sound (built-in)"
    Under that topic it says "Intel HD Sound" and I can choose a nummer of options, but only one for "Speakers" and it says "Connection: internal"
    There is also an option for "HDMI/DisplayPort" which says "Connection: screen" (or monitor)

  • Cannot stream music from MacBook Pro to Airport Express

    Hi, I have an Airport Express. But with both my computer (imac and MacBook Pro) if I try playing music from itunes, it cannot connect. An Airplay pop up window opens and trying connection to airport for ever...
    On the other hand, it works when streaming music from iphones or ipads.
    I have tried changing settings...but it never works....
    Can anyone help please
    thanks

    Hi thanks for your answer.
    I am afraid it still does not work.
    Now, when I select the Airport, it tries connecting for a long time "connecting to "Airport Name"...but never connects.

  • Stream sound from Macbook Pro to another device?

    So my headphone jack just half-died on me. I get full sound from the right ear, but the left one has little to no sound coming through. I've had headphone jack issues in the past with my macbook pro and they said I needed to replace the entire motherboard last time which was extremely expensive. My warranty has run out so doing that again would not be feasible, yet I really need the headphone jack to be working since much of my work is video/audio intensive. Is there any way I could stream audio to another device like my phone or something via bluetooth and plug headphones into that to get full sound in both ears? Or is there a fix to this issue that I don't know about? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
    Macbook Pro 13-inch (early 2010)
    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    10 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

    You can stream audio via airtunes to an Airport express which has an analogue ouput jack, but it's line level and doesn't have a volume control, but you can use it as the source for a hifi.  You can get third party powered speakers which receive airtunes.  You can stream audio and video to an Apple TV but it only has an optical Tosslink audio out and audio and video out via hdmi.
    You can also get sound out via USB to a an offboard D/A converter which in most cases would be line-level, though you could likely find asomething with a headphone output with a volume control.
    If you look up the specs on your machine you might also find you have digital audio out via tosslink and the headphone jack which is misbehaving as the ports are combined on some models.  Then there is the mini display port which can in some cases output both sound and audio and you can get a long display port to hdmi cable a lot cheaper than an ATV.
    But, while the headphone jack replacement involves a motherboard swap, in reality, what might have happened is that a solder joint for the socket on the motherbord has failed and simply resoldering the joint would fix the issue.  If the internals of the socket like a contact breaking or being damaged is the problem then the MB would likely need replacing given the cost of labour for a tech to source and replace the whole socket.

  • How to stream content from Macbook Pro to Samsung SmartTV

    How can I view photos from iPhoto on my Macbook Pro on my Samsung SmartTV?  Samsung offers software only for PCs.

    If you have satellite/cable TV and your box has an ethernet port and you have a DVR it's also possible to stream content from your Mac to a tv.

  • Streaming video from macbook pro to apple tv

    Hello, I understand that you can use airdisplay to stream the whole desktop view to the apple tv. However, I've found that its extremely laggy when I play videos that way. When I do, the video and sound is always off by a second. When I stream using my ipad or iphone to play videos that never happens and runs perfectly. Is there a way to just stream videos from sites like youtube for the mac like the iphone and ipad?

  • How can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro ? video...

    how can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro mountain lion to dynex bluray player or insignia mhl tv? i also have a time capsule...

    most reliable method found is get an AppleTV hooked to TV, and get program called BEAMER (free trial or $15 purchase application).     Lots of programs CAN stream to TV via wifi, but many of them get audio syncing wrong/bad.   Best addition upgrade to any Apple PC or laptop isnt internal, but the AppleTV     BEAMER app is the best Apple/Mac app out there to me, ...  Ive got 7 Terabytes of Videos, ...the Beamer app takes in any video format, its just incredible.

  • HT204022 If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

    If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

    They will not be deleted if they have been imported to your iPhoto library.  To ensure this happens automatically, go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import:
    To confirm that they have been imported to your library, click on iCloud on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My Photo Stream album on the right, then Control-Click on your pictures.  If you see "Show in Library" in the pop-up, the picture has been imported to your library and you can safely delete it from photo stream.

    how to transfer data from macbook pro to an external hard drive, im using (WD 1TB 3.0) ???. I cannot copy anything from my mac to it not a single file.

    ok - since you'll be sharing it with a PC - connect it to your windows pc - then format from there - instead of NTFS format - choose exFAT.
    or, you can read the link below on how to do it in dos mode.
