Video/Audio from new macbook to HD TV?

So, I'm wondering how i can connect the new MacBook to my HD TV which supports HDMI. Can i connect a mini DisplayPort/HDMI adapter and get both video and audio into my TV?
I haven't seen any adapters of that kind in Apple Store.
Is there perhaps another way to archive this?

Barring some other adapter being released, either by Apple or a third party, you'd get the Mini Display Port to DVI adapter and then use a DVI to HDMI adapter/cable. You'll also need to connect the audio to the TV separately, so check to make sure your TV will allow audio from a different input when using the HDMI input for video; not all do.

I recently purchased an Onkyo stereo receiver with a wireless USB adapter, UWF-1, and want to stream audio from my MacBook Pro through my stereo system. The receiver tells me it is connected to my wireless LAN, but I cannot get music to play?

New to the community here, thanks for your patience. I recently purchased an Onkyo TX-8050 Network Stereo Receiver with the UWF-1 USB adapter with the intent to stream audio from my MacBook Pro to the stereo. I have gone through the setup instructions for the adapter and the receiver gives me a message saying that it is connected to the password protected network, but that is as far as I can get.
I have gone into iTunes and clicked on the "Open Stream" option, but I just get a pop up box labeled "URL" that is empty. I have Home Sharing turned on and File Sharing turned on, but I am not seeing the receiver in my Finder window or as a iTunes device.
I would appreciate any and all advice and assistance.
Thanks so much.

So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

I'm struggling to move video clips from my macbook pro to my ipad. a few play but most won't go over in the sync. What format do I need to clips to be in?

Greetings. I'm attempting to sync video clips from my macbook pro to my ipad 2 without much success. A few videos go over and the rest can't. What format do they need to be in? Thanks for any help you can give. JWA

QuickTime Pro costs a few buck but is a good tool to have on hand as it can open and transcode a wide variety of video and audio formats.
It's like a Swiss Army knife for media files.

How can I watch AppleTV and listen on the headphones?
Thank you.

Stream Safari/DVD audio from my Macbook Pro to my Airport Express.

Is there a good way to stream all audio from my Macbook Pro to my Airport Express? Not just simply the iTunes audio.

This does work in general but not for my particular need. I have a Mac G5 using ProTools and a MBox digitizing vinyl (USB connection). I am on a MBP getting work done elsewhere in the house, but want to listen to the music and especially to tell when album side is done. To get music to the MBP, I have plugged the G5's line inputs to the MBox line outputs, then used messenger to create a chat with the MBP. Too bad I could not get the G5's input to be the MBox, but ProTools wants sole control. Works OK, but the messenger output on the MBP will NOT go to the Apple Express, just the speakers or headphone out jack.

Video: Editing on new MacBook from a Pro Editor

Hey guys, in an effort to give back to the community, I made a video to review the new MacBook and show how it fits into my own editing workflow (final cut studio) and whether or not it can adequately edit RED footage. It gets pretty technical in some parts so if you're really wanting to see the MacBook put through it's paces, you'll enjoy this.

Thanks for the video. Nicely done!
I hope Apple takes notice that pros like yourself use the MacBook too and bring Firewire back! I too invested in a workstation-class Apple desktop, but would rather have a smaller (and more affordable) form-factor for editing audio away from the "office." USB 2 just won't cut the mustard for serious multitrack audio projects and the USB-only MacBook is as incompatible with my Firewire audio recording gear as it is with your Red camera.
Thanks again!

Video chat from older macbook pro (ichat) to new macbook pro

You can't - but you can use FaceTime on the iPad and FaceTime on the Mac running Lion.

No video mirroring AppleTV ver 2 or 3 from new Macbook Air (very latest)

I have both a 2nd gen and 3rd gen apple TV and a brand new Macbook Air with Mountain Lion plus all updates installed on all devices. I can see both Apple TVs in myAirplay menu and can select either one. In both cases the sound works but the TV video goes blank and then later returns to the screensaver while the sound continues to stream. I have tried every possible resolution setting and nothing seems to work. The Apple TVs have hardwired ethernet and the Macbook Air is using wireless through my Airport Extreme (less than six months old).
Any ideas on what the problem is or how to resolve?

I'm in a similar boat to you, wondering whether I should replace my 2006 MBP 2.4 C2D 4Gb/160Gb with the top spec 13" MBA, or wait unti the next MBP refresh at the end of the year / begining of 2012.
FWIW, I think for your needs a MBA would probably do the job quite admirably... it should be able to handle rippng and Handbrake with no problems (faster than your current set up, but not as fast as a MBP).
I guess the real test is how well it can handle HD editing. I'm sure it will be fine for the occasional use, but then again a MBP would be better.
Personally though, I think you'd probably get more use and life out of a MBP. Mine is still going strong and it is more than adequate for my daily uses, but it's time for a change anyway.

Video/audio Stuttering on Macbook 13

Hi All
I have a mid 2007 Macbook 13 running OS X Lion 10.7.4. all up to date. Initially I had 4G's of ram ( I know it only reads 3 ) now I have it running on only 2.
Problem is video/audio stuttering when running movies. mostly netflix and or connected to a flat screen tv. on wireless or wired connection. but it also happens just running youtube videos or videos that I have on the system mostly in .AVI format. I could be running movies with VLC or quicktime and same ting. I've tried turning every running program off. like firewall, little snitch, sophos AV, etc. after turning them all off I do a restart. I have done permssion repair, checked the disk, run the daily scripts, even downgraded to SL to see if Lion was too much for the system and nothing. of of the 4G's of ram that I have. I swapped them to see if maybe one or 2 of them ware bad. when I install the operating system, I do a clean install. delete partition, format, the whole thing and bring it up to date. not all at one time. disk permissions repaired after each big updated. almost half the time the videos will run ok and than it starts stuttering. when is doing it. not even the mouse responds in those few seconds. is like something is grabbing all the system memory for a few seconds at a time. it has gotten to the point that the system completly frezzes and I get that black translusent window that says the system needs to be restarted.
I have about 40% free HD space.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The behavior you mention is typical of MacBooks with the GMA 950 video chipset and 64MB VRAM.
The best solution I've found is to quickly pause the video and let the video load completely before watching, IF the website allows it and will preload the content. Not all of them do. Some sites automatically buffer before they begin playing.
Watch in a window rather than full-screen.
Watch content on your MacBook screen rather than a HDTV.
The Safari Extension "ClickToFlash" lets you choose whether to load Flash content at all. It also allows 'preferring' H264/HTML5 web video content when available, and seems to be a bit better than simply defaulting to Flash content for every website.
I have a mid-2007 MacBook 2,1 with 4/3GB RAM. It is the very oldest model capable of supporting Lion. After reading of performance issues with these older systems in these forums, I chose to remain on Snow Leopard rather than upgrading to Lion. Snow Leopard runs most things I do very well in 3GB. Lion really seems to need 4GB and would like 8GB, from what I read here.
You don't mention how fast your internet connection is. A faster internet connection MIGHT help some. A wired Ethernet connection MIGHT offer a bit more throughput than WiFi. Worth trying out, especially if you have a friend with a faster connection where you can try before you pay to upgrade.
Ultimately we're talking about 5-year-old computers. That's "ancient" in computer life cycles, and the best solution (not most cost-effective) is a new(er) Mac. It's not a problem unique to Mac. Old Windows XP systems lack the performance of new hardware running 64-bit Windows 7.
New or recent Refurbs with 4GB or more RAM, faster video chipset, more VRAM, faster clock-speed, Intel "Sandy Bridge" (or "Ivy Bridge" likely coming soon) dual-core or quad-core processor, and, yes, a hefty pricetag to match. Anything else is at best a temporary measure to buy a bit of time (a year, maybe?) until you can purchase a new(er) faster better Mac.

HDMI Live Video Input into new MacBook Pro?

We current use FireWire into an older MacBook Pro to stream live video.
Want to go to HD camera that has HDMI output.
Can new MacBook Pros take live video input from HDMI?

No drivers are required.

Do you have any other FW devices to test with?
I used same adopters when I migrated my 2013 Mac Pro from my 2009 Mac Mini.
Did the 2012 Mac Mini have the same OSX version as you are using on the Mac Pro?
It could be incompatible with the Mac Pro. I ask because I have n iSight camera (FR400) that worked with my 2009 Mini with before Mavericks but would not work with Maverick. It would also not work with my 2102 Mac MIn but the camera but not mix work on my 2103 Mac Pro

Autosync - Sync Detection Problem with Video/Audio from different sources

Hi,
i've got the following problem:
I'm editing a feature film, where video comes from tape and audio from harddisc-recorder. The clips are combined/linked manually via in-point (slate).
If I cut this video/audio combined clip in the timeline, and move only the audio 3 frames to the right, sync detection informs me correct about the out of sync problem (3 frames). BUT: If I split the audio file in two pieces, the left clip still has the "out of sync" info in the timeline and remains "linked" to the video, but the right clip doesn't show his relation to the video anymore !!!
Is this a bug ?
Because, if I use video and audio from one "media-source", ex dv, the sync detection in the timeline is working correct with the above example ?
I'm lookin' for a similar way to sync clips like autosync with media-composer and thought combine audio and video clip to a new combined clip should do this....
Thanks for help !

I have my waveforms back! Thank you SO MUCH! I looked everywhere and just couldn't find a setting for this.
As for the sync, I guess that's OK - it's no worse than what I had before (and with the waveforms back, less of an issue to do manually). Would be nice if they'd add the ability to offset the audio track in the Modify Clip screen at some point (and it would open up the multi-cam sync feature to more users), but I can cope without for now.
Thanks again for your help.

Streaming video choppy on new macbook

Why are all internet videos choppy on my new Macbook Pro? The videos are constantly buffering. I can only see about 5 seconds at a time. This is a brand new Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion. I have had the unit for about a month. The video has been a problem from day one. Video problems are not just Youtube but all sites I go to. My PC has no problem with the same sites, same network.

I'd be wondering whether something that you have brought across from the older machine may be giving it indigestion, mpeterd.
You might find it worth taking a look at Activity Monitor when the problem occurs to see if any process is hogging CPU time.
One known "issue" after migration from earlier Macs or OS versions can involve a new process called "fontworker" under Snow Leopard. If you have brought across old fonts from the MB then it may be that some are duplicates of Snow Leopard fonts, or corrupted, or simply too old for the new OS. Might be worth checking with Font Book for duplicated or corrupted fonts. Another possibility may be a corupted "Spotlight" index. If Activity Monitor shows a process called "mds" or "mdsworker" running overtime, then this is likely to be the cause.
There are various other possibilities here, too, though. Activity Monitor is a good place to check for such things first, before considering seeking replacement. You may well find that the problem recurs even with a new, perfectly healthy, computer when you bring things across from the old one.
Cheers
Rod
