Tv won't recognize hdmi from macbook pro, but will from ipad

I have a new Toshiba TV (40L5200U) that will recognize HDMI input from an IPad, but not from a MacBook Pro (running 10.6.8). I'm connecting through a Rocketfish Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (RF-AP305), but the TV says "no video signal." Display Preferences shows 1024x768, which the TV user guide lists as an acceptable input (XGA), but when I detect displays the computer doesn't recognize the TV. I can't see an Arrangements tab. The computer does give output through this port to a VGA adapter for a projector. Any suggestions? Thanks.

It is vital to push the Mini DisplayPort adapter into the Mac socket until essentially ALL of the metal is inside the socket.
Use About This Mac > ( More Info ) > Displays to examine the NAME of the display attached. Until you get the make&model popping up there, you have not made a solid connection.
"Supported resolutions" for many displays are not supported in the same way on each of the available ports. 1024x768 mat be an excellent VGA resolution that does not work at all across HDMI. Be certain [√] Mirroring is turned OFF to allow the displays to be set independently.

Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

Using an HDMI cable to connect to a monitor from Macbook Pro, but no sound

What do you mean by "properly setup?" There is no setup. Just plug it in.

Prior Cloned Drive(s) won't recognize on New Macbook Pro

Just bought a new (mid-2012) 13" MBP 2.9GHz i7; tried to either:
swap it's drive with my prior (late-2011) MacBook Pro 13" (which I've swapped without issue before);
it yet it only shows a circle with a diagonal line through it (meaning it doesn't see the drive)?
I've always done this with a couple of my SuperDuper! (Lion 10.7.4) cloned drives before; yet this new macbook pro isn't recognizing them internally. They DO show up via Firewire/USB from my External; yet I am NOT able to boot from the External (as I used to be able to prior this new mbp).
Also, please note:
- I've used Disk Utilities (showing no issue).
- I zapped the PRAM immediately.
- The new Mac came with 10.7.3 (and my drives were 10.7.4).
- I've updated this shipped drive to 10.7.4 (command-r).
- I've tried to hold down the c-key upon startup.
Does anyone know why I could swap drives to my prior mbp; (as well as Boot from my External, but not with my new mbp?
Any suggestions to solve this are most welcome, thanks!

No, because in order to download it you must be using the new computer. Now, if you have an external enclosure for your existing drive, then you can connect it to the new computer and reinstall Lion. Since you would be booted on the new computer's Recovery HD, this would download and install the version of Lion compatible with your new computer onto the selected drive of your choice, such as the old drive in the external enclosure.
The essential process:
Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Of course you would change the target drive to the external drive before starting the installation. Reinstalling may take upwards of an hour to complete excluding the time needed to download Lion.

Why won't my new hard drive mount on my new MacBook Pro but will mount on my old MacBook Pro

I bought a new MacBook Pro to replace an older MacBook Pro. I also bought a new Toshiba 1T portable hardrive to backup my new computer. The Toshiba hard drive will not mount on the new computer, but it will mount on my old computer.
However, I have two other portable hard drives (320 MB and 500 MB) that do mount on the new computer. I am puzzled as to why the new MBP will not display my Toshiba 1T portable HD.
Any ideas?

The only way I could get my Toshiba 1 TB USB 3.0 drive to work was to buy this cable from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005M0ICG2/ref=oh_o05_s00_i00_details
I tried a Kindle cable, I also ordered a thick data / power cable and it would not work. So I tried this dual USB cable and my drive is working great now.
You may be able to find it else were but the bottom line is you have to use both USB ports on your MacBook in order for this drive to work. I'm using a late 2011 MacBook Pro.

Application which was removed from MacBook Pro Dock will not open. Why?

I dragged the Photoshop Elements (PSE) 11 Editor icon from the Dock on my MacBook Pro (Mavericks) because I had recently installed PSE 13. I still wanted to keep the version 11 Editor but not in the Dock. It dissolved in a puff of smoke as expected. When I went to Launchpad and the Applications folder in the Dock, PSE 11 Editor would not open. There was a question mark over PSE 11 Editor icon in Launchpad. The error message was that there were parts missing and I should reinstall it. When I go to Finder > Applications and click on PSE 11, where the icon used to be is a blank icon. It is named "Alias." When I click on the icon, the error message is "The operation can't be completed because the original item for "Adobe Photoshop Element 11" can't be found." I then when back to Launchpad and opened the PSE 11 Organizer icon. After it opened it, I opened the PSE 11 Editor from the Organizer. The Editor was fine and was functional. I then saved it to the Dock. I went back to Finder and the PSE 11 Editor is still not available. What the heck is going on??? I would like to be able to remove Apps from the Dock and still be able to open them from Launchpad or the Applications Folder. HELP!
Thanks, Bob

"The PSE 11 Editor I restored to the Dock from PSE 11 Organizer today works also."
Yes, sometimes that's all it takes. It's usually a matter of finding the original application nor the alias.
I'm still suspicious of Adobe since they seem to be going the way of Microsoft. If you muck about w/ the folders the application often stops working:
"___ __ cannot open because elements are missing from the application folder".

Conflict between home sharing from MacBook Pro and airplay from ipad / iPhone?

Just bought an Apple TV, and set it up yesterday. Everything works fine, with one exception. When I have iTunes open and home sharing turned on the Apple TV, when trying to mirror airplay from my ipad 4th gen or my iPhone 5s, I get nothing on the Apple TV, just black screen. It also makes the device run really sluggish.
I've definitely narrowed it down to this conflict, quitting iTunes on the MacBook Pro immediately resolves the issue. So no big deal, right? Just turn off itunes. Except the whole point of buying the Apple TV is to have a central point I can stream all my media in the house from, I'd like to have my MacBook Pro, iMac, ipad and iPhone able to take control of the Apple TV without having to run across the house to turn iTunes on or off on the computers.
This only happens when mirroring, normal airplay audio or video works just fine. MacBook Pro and Apple TV are hard wired Ethernet, ipad on wifi.
Is this a known conflict? Is there any solution?

Normally there ought to be an airplay button in the top menu bar (where also the battery, wifi, clock, etc are located). And in display settings at the bottom there ought to be a drop down menu labelled Airplay Display.
If not, it seems that your Apple TV cannot be found. Are both on the same network? Have you enabled AirPlay in the Apple TV (Settings -> AirPlay set to On)?

HT3209 iTunes Movies not playing in MacBook Pro, but work on iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.

I have purchased several HD movies from iTunes and none of them work on my MacBook Pro (purchased in 2010). I keep getting a message that says my media player doesn't support the videos. How is this possible if I legally purchased these through iTunes and they work on all of my other devices? Any help is greatly appreciated!

correct me if i am wrong, but you do not get that option to convert movie to ipod/iphone, just to acc that i recall.

New Magic mouse just paired with Macbook pro but will not scroll

I have a MacBook Pro that has never been bluetooth paired with anything. The magic mouse and computer pair and it shows everything is ok, but the mouse doesn't scroll. If I physically move it it will click, but otherwise it does not respond. I updated all of the software and have OS 10.6.8. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Look in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse Check scrolling.

Firefox won't display an image from one directory, but will from another. IE displays both.

I have some very simple logo jpgs I want to add to www.foautah.org. I have been having a problem where IE will show the jpgs, but Firefox won't. I have narrowed it down to a very simple test and found that in a little html test page: test.foautah.org/test.html Firefox will load two images from one directory (graphics), but not from another (sponsors). The images are identical copies. IE shows both from both directories.
NEVER MIND. After wasting hours, it finally dawned on me that Adblock might be doing something. Turns out it hides anything with "sponsors" in it. Time to rename my directory. Argh!!!

hello, yes, you'd have to uninstall flash from the windows control panel in windows7 (just diabling it in firefox won't work in this case). alternatively you could run the uninstaller-tool that adobe provides on its website: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
