TV Display for Mac Book Pro using DVI to VGA Cable

Have connected my Mac book Pro (2007) to Sony Bravo TV using the dvi to vga cable.  The TV monitor only displays the startup screen.  It does not display subsequent screens.  It appears to be frozen and  ignores any further displays or activities on my computer

  • HT4796 Can I transfer files from a PC to Mac Book Pro using an ethernet connection cable and if so what kind

    Can I transfer files from a PC Windows 8 based operating system to a MAC Book Pro using an ethernet cable and if so what type of cable. The wi-fi system where I am temporarily located is very slow and thus the transfer may take hours.

  • How do I burn an iMovie using a bus super drive for mac book pro

    I have a new mac book pro using the maverick operating system.  I also have a ubs super drive.  I am trying to burn an i movie to the dvd to be shown on a dvd player. It is saving as a mp4 and will not play in the dvd player.  How do I save the movie to play it in a dvd player.
    Thanks

    For that you need iDVD. If you don't have it:
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • I am trying to upgrade my hard drive in my mac book pro using the disk utility in an attempt to clone my old hard drive.  I can only get so far, just before cloning may start and receive an "error 254" and can go no further.  Any idea what this error is?

    I am trying to upgrad the hard drive in my mac book pro using the disk utility in an attempt to clone my old hard drive.  I can only get so far throughj the process where its about to start cloing when I get a message " error 254".  Any idea what that means and how do I get around this issue so I can use my new hard drive?  Thanks for your input.

    Connect the HDD to your MBP.  Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field.  The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Click on the Erase button.
    Then try the clone process again.  You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.
    Ciao.

  • I am getting no signal to my dj mixer using m-audio firewire audiophile sound card connected to my mac book pro using Traktor Dj software can anyone help?

    I am getting no signal to my dj mixer using m-audio firewire audiophile sound card connected to my mac book pro using Traktor Dj software can anyone help?
    The firewire port reads the dj software and I can hear music playing through the sound card when I plug my headphones into it but there is no signal to the hardware (my dj mixer).
    I have reset the firewire by turning off my mac book pro for a few hours and can see the sound card device in the fire wire section after clicking on the apple icon on the top left corner of my mac.
    My dj mixer works on another mac computer with the same soundcard and different firewire cable.
    Hope someone can help
    Thanks

    kmiddlet88,
    yes, it could be due to nearly anything listed in your kernel extensions, startup items, launch daemons, launch agents, or user items above. Please check all of your installed third-party software to make sure that the versions which are installed on your MacBook Pro are compatible with Mavericks; uninstall every software package which isn’t Mavericks-compatible. After you’ve done that, boot into Safe mode, and see if you still get the beach ball of doom there. If it doesn’t appear there, restart normally and see if it appears then.

  • Will AIR ac power cord work for Mac Book Pro?

    will AIR ac power cord work for Mac Book Pro? I've lost my MBP cord.

    No. It does not provide sufficient power for a MBP unless you have a 13" model that uses a 60 watt adaptor.

  • How Much Power Is My Mac Book Pro Using?

    How much much power is my mac book pro using when it is closed and the power chord is plugged in? This is bugging the crap out of me because my dad keep making me unplug once im done. He claims its costing 7 bucks a month. I think that is bogus (remember this is when the laptop is closed). anyone have any answers?

    I guess you could look at the info printed on your power adapter. Normally you'll see the output voltage and current values. Multiplying the two together will give you the power consumption of the computer (in watts) while it's plugged in. For example my Macbook says "16.5V and 3.65A" so it's about 60 Watts. For a MB Pro, my bet is around 80w. Looks like your dad did do his math to come up with that 7 bucks a month,:), but the pre-assumption is that you had it on 24/7, which i doubt. If you dad bought this MBP for you, you might wanna ask him why would he care the mere $7 after spending about $2000 on the thing.:)

  • Is there i cloud for Mac Book Pro?

    Yes, install Flash, right here.

    Keep it updated, check here

    or here

    Tell your son never to install Flash from non-Adobe websites
    Flash and Silverlight are what's called web browser plug-ins that allow viewing of content on a lot of websites, it's so one format can be used with many different operating systems, computers and web browsers.
    So once you install Flash (or Silverlight if you use Netflix) then it's used by all web browsers you may have installed.
    However Flash can be used as a exploit angle, so  sure to keep it updated and not install it juts because a web site says so, bookmark the link above so you always download it from there.
    (I won't trick you, I would be banned if I did, plus Apple knows where I live.)

  • How do i use my imac 21.5" 2011 as a display for my macbook pro late 2011, through thunderbolt cable ? I have tried and it doesnt seem to work, neither does target disk mode.

    How do i use my imac 21.5" 2011 as a display for my macbook pro late 2011, through thunderbolt cable ? I have tried and it doesnt seem to work, neither does target disk mode.
    Could it be a borked cable ? I just bought it new from the store today, i have updated both imac and macbook pro to latest thunderbolt firmware and updates. Both 10.7.3.

    You are correct, here is what Apple Says:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3775
    I was able to find these instructions, however they referr to 2009-2011 27" iMacs. I think it's the same, if it's not then contact Apple directly for instructions. If either of the machines is less than 90 days old or covered by AppleCare then call AppleCare tomorrow for help, they should be able to easily answer this for you. You will find the number in your manual or you can use the AppleCare Contact Info link.
    Your iMac should automatically recognize the presence of a digital video signal at the Mini DisplayPort and enter Target Display Mode.
    If your iMac does not automatically enter Target Display Mode, press command + F2 to manually enter Target Display Mode.

    Office::2008 was drag & drop, but Office::2011 has an installer you need to run.
