Thunderbolt to hdmi... is there another way to connect my Macbook Pro to my HD TV

I want to connect my Macbook Pro to my tv and have read nightmare reviews about the Belkin cable to connect the thunderbolt to HDMI... I need to make this happen as cheap as possible and don't know which route to take?

Here is the start of the setup:
Click on the Wi-Fi Options button and provide the needed info:
Click on the OK button. Now check the Internet Sharing box to turn it all on. If the port box you checked is no longer checked, then uncheck Internet Sharing, check the port box again, then check the Internet Sharing box again.

Is there a way to stream my macbook pro audio through itunes to basestation

Hey I love to stream my itunes through the basestation but, is there a way to stream my macbook pros audio so I can hear things playing from my safari or final cut or whatever other program to the speakers in airport??? Thanks

Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil should do just what you want. I use if for streaming things like Slacker and Pandora through my Airport Express. It's not free but it's well worth the price. You can try it out for a few minutes (then the sound degrades) to see if it works for you.

What is the best way to connect a MacBook Pro to my HiFi system ?

Hi,
I'm new to Apple support communities having just bought my first Macbook Pro (a 17" 2.5GHz i7 model) and this is my very first community post.
Im a bit of a Hi-Fi enthusiast, so, with my new MacBook Pro I've taken the opportunity of completely reloading my iTunes library in high quality Apple Lossless format. Took a while but now I've completed the task Im pleased I've done it.
My question is, what is the best way to connect a Macbook Pro to a high quality Hi-Fi preamp - my Hi-fi system is musical Fidelity, and the pre amp (an A5 CR Pre amp) and this pre amp, which has superb audio quality, only has analogue phono inputs ?
I'm interested to understand what both the wired and wireless connection options are. I'm guessing one option must be to use the headphone output, but I have no idea if the output from the headphone socket on my new macbook (which is presumably designed to drive headphones) would be at a suitable level for a phono line level input ?
Ive also read a few comments about using digital connection - and my second question would be - what is the audio digital connection on my macbook ?
Aplogies if this question has been asked lots of times before but I've looked through some previous posts and can't find any answers in simple and straightforward language concentrating on the issue of connecting a MacBook Pro to an analogue phono pre amp input ?
Thanks in anticipation of some advice.

What is the best way to connect a MacBook Pro to my HiFi system?
Look at the back of the reciever and see what your connection options are, the front headphone jack is output usually.
The Mac's analog audio in/out ports doubles as a optical in/out ports.
The analog won't over power your amp, it's just a headphonejack, like a powered mic, just enough power to get the signal to the destination in one piece.
Since you have a analog amp, your stuck with inferior analog connections, however you mentioned you wish to listen to the best sound quality of your lossless music.
To do that your going to need a decent surround sound system with Toslink optical import jacks, a Toslink stereo jack to regular Toslink adapter, Toslink cable and enable the optical output in your System Preferences >Sound
Another method is to use a Airport Express, it also has duo analog/opical out port. Then set up the Airport Express for iTunes streaming using the Airport Utility, then in iTunes setup the lower right corner one can set the connection.
I recommned a Harmon Kardon surround sound system, with their 100 watt satelight speakers and the 200 watt subwoofer. Enable the "concert hall" and other neat effects which will turn your 2.0 (stereo) iTunes music into 4 channel speaker sound filling the room with music and sending the lower channels to the subwoofer.
It will likely bring tears to your eyes that you can actually hear the full quality of your music as intended, I almost quarranty you will never want listen to music on a crappy iPhone or iPod again.
If a surround sound system is out of your budget, you can get by using the Harmon Kardon "Go Play" portable stereo and a analog stereo cable.
If your going to use your analog amp to power reference speakers, then there are various analog adapters of all sorts to make the appropriate connections once you know what they are, check out Radio Shack online for them.

Is there a way to put my Macbook Pro into airplane mode?

Do you use Bluetooth with your MBP regularly - you always have Bluetooth on?
If so, turn Bluetooth and Wi-Fi off being able to turn both off and on via the menu bar.
If you don't use Bluetooth - it is already off, all you need to do is turn Wi-Fi off.

HT3131 Is there a way to clamshell a macbook pro without peripherals?

I got a MacBook Pro from a coworker to make sure that a project works on Mac OS X and would like to not have the lid open all the time to protect it and to save space on my desk. Is there some way to get the machine to not sleep when the lid is closed *without* peripherals?

I had seen that page, but was unsure if there was some other way and couldn't find anything. Also, that page has no reasoning for *why* what I wanted was *technically* impossible (all of my other laptops and netbooks need to be manually suspended) since I'm fine twiddling hidden knobs for such support. Requiring peripherals seemed arbitrary to me since computers are still useful without displays.

Is there any way to wipe my MacBook Pro?

My dad bought me a MacBook Pro from a pawn shop. Everything is under the old owners name and i cant install anything without it. I dont know who the person is so is there any way to wipe my Mac clean?

To see what is installed select About This Mac from the Apple menu. You should see the information in the open panel. To do what you want requires a Snow Leopard DVD:
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Yosemite if you wish.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process

Is there any way to buy a MacBook Pro in the USA, but with a European plug?

I'm going to get a MacBook Pro from the USA, but I live in Belgium, so I wondered if you could get a plug for Belgium straight from the US, or if you needed an adapter.

Apple retail stores will take cash. But, I would say it is very uncommon, in my experience, in their stores. The sales personal are all set up to deal with credit or debit cards remotely (ie. there are no "checkout" lines, it is all done wirelessly), so dealing with cash is not the normal mode of transaction.
Not many shoppers routinely wander around malls with several thousands of dollars in cash in their pockets (even most "cash" only folks would likely use a debit card, not actual cash)! Plus, since many people get special compensation with their credit cards (not talking points and such, but my VISA card gives me double the manufacturers warranty, as well theft and accidental damage insurance coverage for the first 90 days), even those of us who never carry over a balance still prefer to use the credit card and get the perks (I especially like the insurance, as I have to at least get my expensive item home safely before I can use it).

HT5219 What is he price of a thunderbolt ? It's too expensive to Asian countries . Are there another ways to connect projectors to my Mac?

Thunderbolt price is high .

Use a minidisplayport to whatever interface is on your projector. For example:

The Thunderbolt port also serves as a minidisplayport.

Is there a way to upgrade a MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display (Model ID:MacBookPro10,1) for thunderbolt 2 capability?

Im just wondering if there is a way to upgrade an older machine to allow thunderbolt 2.
This might be a silly question as I can't seem to find anything about it anywhere.
I may just have to buy a new machine but it would be great if I could just upgrade the one I have.
Any information would be appreciated.

You would have to purchase a new machine in order to gain Thunderbolt 2 capabilities.

Is there another way of connecting mail 5.1 to exchange 2003 other than DavMail?

I am using Entourage 2008 which works fine but is a bit dated now and ideally would like to use Mail 5.1 but from what I can gather DavMail only works where exchange has web access enabled unfortunately given that I have to access exchange via a VPN I dont think that this is a viable option. Any help would be appreciated.

Also - what gives with questions aobut tagged text - I've noticed that 4 postings about this have gone unanswered - not jsut mine but others as well?
I've been wondering that myself, but I've not had any answers for those posters. (I don't think that "Yeah, I used tagged text in Quark or PageMaker in the 90s, but these days anything that I would have wanted to do with tagged text would be easier to do with XML" would be very helpful.)

I do not have wifi at home. Is there another way to connect my ipod touch to the internet?

Maybe some smart person has come up with an app for this?

Thanks for your reply lllaass.
Do you know what I need to do to put wifi on my home pc?
Is it just a matter of dropping it off at a computer shop and asking them to do it for me and is it expensive?
Using the pc as a hotspot sounds like a good idea.

Is there any way of sharing my Macbook Pro's Wifi connection to iPhone 4 (Not Using iPhone as hotspot for laptop the other way around)

So a nasty smash destroyed both Front & Back of my iPhone 4, and since having them replaced the Wifi signal has been really weak.
I have seen other posts about screen replacement having to be done by going through the antenna, so something could be missing, or done incorrectly during the screen repair. Will definately be taking it back to the shop and finding out if It was put back together properly.
In the meantime I was wondering if it is possible to share my Macbook Pro's Wifi (always full signal in my house) directly to my iPhone either using USB cable or through bluetooth. It's not been too much of a problem but it would be nice to use my iPhone in bedroom using the Macbooks good signal.
Note: The replacement front screen on iPhone has a small gap >1mm between the screen and centre metal casing on the left side just above the Silent/Loud Switch, which can be noticed by light leaking through the gap. The metal casing also still has a small dent between the volume down buttons and silent/loud switch, again nothing drastic 1mm maximum

Here is the start of the setup:
Click on the Wi-Fi Options button and provide the needed info:
Click on the OK button. Now check the Internet Sharing box to turn it all on. If the port box you checked is no longer checked, then uncheck Internet Sharing, check the port box again, then check the Internet Sharing box again.

Is there a way to prevent my macbook pro from entering sleep mode when I close it??

I want to use it with a mirrored display so I have no need for my laptop to be open. Thanks

Connecting an external monitor and USB keyboard will prevent sleep with the lid closed. You can also use a software utility like Wake Up 1.0.0 UB or Caffeine.

I have 2 hdmi ports on my tv and want to set up my apple tv. Is there another way to do it?

I have 2 hdmi ports on my tv- both are being used. I want to connect my apple tv- is there another ways to connect?

Sounds like it's time for an HDMI switch-box (many in...one out). Yell if Google fails to supply decent hints.
