Oh! cord!
Depends on the model of MacBook (which video out port you have) and what connections are available on the TV.
Quite probably you'll need two or more adapters to get there.
A bit more info please; go to the Apple menu at the left of the menu bar and select 'about this Mac', then click the 'more info' button in the window. Read us the Model Identifier on the second line of the hardware overview. (MacBook 2.1 or whatever).
Then we need to know what inputs the TV has; HDMI, VGA, Component Video? All that info should be in the TV's handbook.

    I've haven't got any of the other cables for my Retina display, and I've tried connecting my Mac to my TV via HDMI cable, but no sound comes out and apprently I need another cable...?

    Your HDMI output port should be carrying the audio signal to your television. If it's not, you can use a Thunderbolt->HDMI adapter that does carry sound, such as this one from Monoprice.

    What model do you need to be able to use a charge scanner when their is no wi-fi available

    Ohh, you mean credit card scanner?
    That would be up to whicher scanner you choose.  The manufacturer would determine which iPad or iPhone versions or IOS versions their device supports.
    The Square scanner from the Apple Online store only needs iOS 5. So pretty much any model of iPad should support it.
    System Requirements
    iOS 5.0 or later
    Square app; free download from App Store in iTunes

    I have dial up connection for my internet  What equipment do I need to be able to watch Netflix on my TV?

    First need would be a high speed Internet connection, such as Cable, DSL or Fibre service. Dial-up has nowhere near the capacity to provide Netflix service.

  • I have a macbook pro. what equipment do i need to watch my computer on my flat screen tv?

    i have a macbook pro. what equipment do i need to watch my computer on my flat screen tv? thank you.

    Step 1. Peek in the back of the TV and identify what kind of inputs it has. Ideally, you'd want an HDMI socket, followed by a DVI or in worst case, analog VGA. Try to determine what's the "native resolution" of the panel.
    Step 2. Based on what you find, peruse in the Apple Store (Mac Accessories /  Cables section, if online) for the appropriate dongle/converter. One end goes to the Thunderbolt/MiniDisplay Port on the Mac, other end depending on the output to feed to the TV. Also buy the corresponding cable of the desired length.
    Step 3. Plug everything together. You have to decide whether to use display mirroring (Mac & TV show the same thing) or separate displays (each shows different stuff).
    Step 4. Based on 1 and 3, open System Preferences / Displays and adjust screen resolution(s) for optimum viewing pleasure. The Mac's display usually far exceeds the external display's max resolution capabilities, so you have to downsize as needed, if in mirroring mode.
    Step 5. Enjoy the results.
    Edit: If your TV  has HDMI input AND your MacBook Pro is a Retina, you can skip the first half of step 2. The Mac already has HDMI output port, so you just need the cable.

  • HDMI cable connected from TV to Mac, what do I click on to get the movie on my laptop screen to show on my TV screen?

    HDMI cable connected from TV to Mac, what do I click on to get the movie on my laptop screen to show on my TV screen?

    When you first hook it up it will probably have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
    In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
    The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
    You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to use the MacBook’s keyboard and trackpad to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.

  • What do I need to enable me to put JVC Everio video onto the MacbookPro Snow Leopard bought November2009

    Hello to all,
    I am still learning how to use this Macbook Pro and cannot understand why there is no app for
    putting JVC Everio video onto my laptop in order to edit and make a disc of my films while on
    holiday so that I can send the edited pieces to our daughter in New Zealand where we took them.
    I have been into the Apple Store in San Fransisco this month and they could not help as the
    laptop was then at home in the UK.
    Are there any apps?
    Do I need to buy a reader I have been told by a salesman?
    Should I update the Snow Leopard to Lion?
    Should I consider any updrade to the Macbook Pro?
    Do I need to consider going back to school at age 64 tomix with 5 year olds who seem to understand
    computers better than us old grumpies!!!
    Is there a site or disc which can take me through any possible remedy to my problems?
    Any help will be appreciated especially from people who know what they are talking about.
    Thank you

    MacBook Pro and Mac Pro are not the same machine.   The MacBook Pro is a notebook, and the Mac Pro is a desktop.   Regardless, the question you have pertains more to Quicktime or iMovie, as both those are video importing applications.     Do you wish me to ask a moderator to redirect your question to either forum?
    There are forums for each.
    One application I found is great for importing non-Apple compatible video formats is http://www.etinysoft.com/total-video-converter-hd.html though you may need to get a Flash Card reader that supports your camera's flash card on a Mac to import the video.

  • What chords do i need for a data migration from macbook 2008 to  macbook air 2012

    My 2008 macbook has a firewire port and my new macbook air 2012 has a thunderbolt port. I have a thunderbolt cable but i can't find an adapter to firewire or the firewire cord? Should I return the thunderbolt cable and surrender the 100 bucks for one-on-one or go through the tedious process of using my external hard drive as the 'messenger boy'?

    There's all sorts of ThunderBolt to FireWire adapters out there. Here's one on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Thunderbolt-to-FireWire-Adapter/dp/B008RXYOKY/ref=sr _1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1346277186&sr=8-11&keywords=thunderbolt+firewire
    You'd also need a FireWire 800 to 400 adapter. http://www.amazon.com/elago-FireWire-400-800-Adapter/dp/B002TF0ZDQ/ref=sr_1_8?ie =UTF8&qid=1346277133&sr=8-8&keywords=thunderbolt+to+firewire

  • What gear do I need?  (to record vocal mic and iPod)

    HELP
    I have a powerbook and I am running a vocal mic and an iPod with some karaoke tracks on it through a Yamaha Stage Pass system and I want to record into garageband, then import it to iTunes and email the mp3 files to some friends and family.
    what gear will I need to be able to keep my setup the same (it has an RCA port for a recording device) and just run it straight to my powerbook and garageband?????
    thanks!

    Hi tooch,
    welcome to the forum!!
    If you have a line out on your yamaha, then all you need is a cable to plug into the macs's line-in.
    if it has seperate 1/4'' left and right outs, you'll need to get a "y" cable that has two mono 1/4'' TS plugs into a stereo 1/8'' TRS plug. Radioshack has them.
    Good luck tooch!!

    what app do i need to be able to open up company catalogues?  I keep getting messages that my device does not support it.

    All of these browsers use a proxy - meaning the real work is done on the server and then streamed to your iDevice.
    I really think you are better off looking for an app produced by the stored you are interested in. They usually provide a MUCH better user experience than trying to use a dying web technology on your iPad. Do a search in the app store and I would best many of those stores have something available.
