Trying to get High Def Picture/Video to my 40" LCD. Help

Hey all
I have recently brough a MacBook Pro 2.33,
I have downloaded some videos & TV eps which are in High Def (720). On the MacBook they look brilliant, I wanted to hook the Macbook up to my Samsung 40" LCD and then hopefully be able to watch my High Def videos on the big screen in crystal clear quality, So I hooked up the macbook to my TV via a DVI - HDMI Cable and got the display on the LCD, which looks ok, Thought it would be perfect as it was just using it like a Monitor. I played with the resolutions to get the best fitting picture as there doesnt seem to be the Native Res for my LCD, I always end up loosing a tiny bit of the screen at the top & the bottom, but not too fussed about that, So i was playing my High Def Videos but they are definatly not in the quality that they look like on my Macbook, Very bitmappy etc..
Wonder if you lot can offer an advise as to how I can use the Macbook to get true High Def picture to my LCD
Thanks in advance

PS. Obviously all this will give me Video out, but hows the best way to get sound out? just a headphone to phono lead into my amp?

Large screen displays don't necessarily have a 1:1 pixel mapping. Ideally you should find out what your display's native resolution is, and pick something close to that. 720 is 1280x720, 1080 is 1920x1080. Your TV may only accept those resolutions... it's a TV and not a monitor.
My Pioneer (connected to my mac mini) is receiving 1280x720 and the menu bar barely shows on the screen due to overscan but movies look great.
You can turn on underscan (picture is shrunk to avoid overscan) on a tab on the Displays preference pane, provided your Mac detected that it was a TV.

i am trying to get my itunes library i just bought a HP laptop and I cannot get it i plugged in my ipod but having issues

Please use periods at the end of sentences, so that your writing is easier to understand...
Do you have access to your old computer with its iTunes library intact? Ideally, you should transfer your complete iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. Then, iTunes on the new computer will look like iTunes on the old computer, with all of your songs, playlists, etc. If you can do it that way, please post back for more info.
Otherwise, you will need to off-load song files from the iPod...

Trying to get iChat one-way video invite to work.

My mother-in-law is in Florida and I would like to have a one-way video chat set up. I have iChat open and can see that she is online, but cannot invite because the 'invite one-way video chat' is grayed out. She has iChat with 10.4.3 something. Now when we had it open she had her AOL IM on also. I asked to close it and start all over (I closed iChat myself) and when we tried again she was still grayed out. Any suggestion would be great.

Hi Gary
Did you high-light her first in the buddy list and then try to invite.

How do I get high def movie from my iphone 4 to my television?

I purchased an Apple Composite cable to connect to my television with my iPhone 4 so that I could play my HD movie to my television. It does not work, if only shows in SD. I do not have internet in my house so the Apple TV is out. Please help!

Composite does not carry an HD signal. The only inputs you'll find on a TV that are HD are HDMI, Component and the old DVI connectors.

Trying to get iTunes to work on an external drive. Help?

Okay, so my computer's main hard drive is pretty full, so I've been moving all my music to an external drive. The issue I'm having is that I can't get iTunes to work on that drive. I know I'm probably not phrasing this very clearly, sorry. But anyway. I've installed iTunes on the external drive, and I've moved all my music to that drive. However, the iTunes music folder is still in My Music, and iTunes "can't find" any of the music on my external drive unless I specifically go and find them.Can I tell iTunes to look at this other folder for its default library or something? Thanks for your help.

Trying to get SPDIF to work with Audigy 2... help! (I read the guide)

?I have the following miniplug/TOSlink cable purchased from Amazon:
Amazon.com: Cables To Go 2707 Velocity Toslink-to-Optical Mini Plug Digital Cable (3 Meters): Electronics: Reviews, Prices & more
I enabled SPDIF output from the Audigy 2 card as the default sound device in Windows 7. I have the miniplug end plugged into the white output of my Audigy 2. There is a sound bar next to the SPDIF output showing that there is output if I play a DVD or music. But, when I look at the TOSlink end of my cable, I see no red light AKA no signal is being output.
In the audio console, I have tried both the SPDIF passthrough and the onboard encoder options without success from either. What am I still doing wrong? Thanks guys

so what i understand is i cant connect my home theatre (optical out only) with my audigy 2 zs even i use optical to mini plug adapter?

Trying to get different column headings for folders in Apple Mail - Help!

Hi there
I really hope someone can help here.
I have a few different email accounts coming into my Apple Mail program. For each account I am using a 'Saved' folder (for the incoming email i have read) and a 'Sent' folder (for the emails I have sent).
In my 'Saved' folder, I want my column headings to be:
a. Who the email is from
b. The subject line
c. The date and time received
In my 'Sent' folder, I want my column headings to be:
a. The address I have sent to
b. The subject line
c. The date and time received
The problem is that when I changed the column headings for one folder, it changes them for all of them. So I can display who my incoming emails are from, but in the sent folder, it only tells me who my sent emails are from....me!! This is no use at all. Is there anyway to apply different column headings to different folders? In Entourage this is easy, but Im at a loss of what to do in mail.
Please help if you can
Many thanks
Dan

as i said, Sent mailbox is special and can have custom columns separate from other mailboxes. ALL other mailboxes have the same columns and you can only customize them simultaneously. if you want to change that leave Apple feedback on the issue

Re: should I buy a High Def CAMERA or not?

Ok, first of all, thank you SO much all you guys who have been helping me with very good info. So- I see the logic of NOT getting high def now if I am just playing and learning and dealing with YouTube.
I could get just a plain (non-high def) camera for under $300, like a canon ZR-850 which is miniDV but not high def. Or I could get the Canon HV20 or the Sony HDR-HC7 for about $1,100. Why should I spend the extra 7-800$ if I can't even use the high def stiff without a lot of expensive upgrades on my computer software or my screen I would be projecting on. My question is: I have a DELL 40 in plasma screen TV, and I have a G4 mac laptop w/ iMovie 06. CAN I USE HIGH DEF NOW WITH THE EQUIPMENT I HAVE? question #2 If I buy a high def camera now, can I still edit it with iMovie 06 ? is it just that the high def stuff will not be seen as high def? or is it that it won't even work at all and I won't be able to see anything or edit anything unless I have high def software etc?

Hi Stephen:
From my perspective, the question to as if you should shoot in HD comes back to the reality of HD. Few people actually own BlueRay players. Few (in real terms) people own HD TV's. So if YOU want to connect your HD camcorder to your HD TV, for fun, then sure. BUT if your planning on marketing, selling or in any way distributing your final DVD to a group, then it's harded to justify, since again, few people will be able to view your product.
I am no expert. From what I am hearing as I was asking the same questions, HD can also be tricker to shoot well, the data is a magnitude more than SD. Unless you MUST shoot in HD, what I am being told is to get a really good SD camera (mini DV, nat.) and shoot it well.
Hope this helps.

Get error (0x80092013) logging into iTunes store, can someone help?

Getting error (0x80092013) trying to get into iTunes store. Can anyone out there help me.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

What iOS in on your iPod? The Users Guide says:
Viewing Photos, Slideshows, and Videos on a TV
You can use the Photos app to view photos, slideshows, and videos on your TV with
any of the following:
Apple Component AV Cable
Â
Apple Composite AV Cable
Â
Apple Digital AV Adapter and an HDMI cable (iPod touch 4th generation)
Â
Apple VGA Adapter and a VGA cable
Â
The Digital AV Adapter supports high-definition video up to 720p with audio.
The Guide also says the Video app can use TV out.

I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

I had OS Maverick and downloaded OS X Yosemite and then cleared the mistakenly cleared the hard-drive while trying to re-download OS Maverick and now should I re-download OS X Yosemite in attempts of getting the pictures, videos, and documents back?

No; try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.
