Hardware :: Running Both Screens - MacBook To Vizio LCD TV
Jun 4, 2009
So I bought my MacBook a year ago and I just bought cords for my laptop to my TV. I bought a Mini DisplayPort to DVI cord than an Xtreme HD cord thats DVI to HDMI. For some reason however I can't get the sound to play off of my TV no matter what, it only plays on my laptop and I was told it would be able to just fine, however for me thats not the case. Second when I link the two screens up together my TV will just have the Background no icon's or anything just the plain simple background. Once I click "Mirror Screens" then my laptop screen is completely small for me and my TV one is just fine, but when I open applications b/c my laptop screen is so small like the "Play" button for movies is nearly impossible to hit because its right behind the dock.
So my questions are: How do I get sound out of my Mini DisplayPort to DVI & DVI to HDMI cord instead of buying an audio cord from laptop to TV.
How can I mirror screens correctly to keep the same size on my laptop screen for when I open things they aren't smushed or hard to play.

I'm using a Vizio VW26L as an external display using a VGA cable and the DVI to VGA adapter that came with my MBP. My only goal is to get a 16:9 aspect ratio on the Vizio, but the closest option is 1280x768, which slightly stretches everything horizontally. I think that by using a DVI to HDMI cable I might be able to get 1280x720, but I want make sure before I order one.
If there's anyone with a Vizio VW26L using DVI to HDMI, can you confirm whether or not 1280x720 or 1366x768 is supported? I seem to be the only person on the net with this TV.

I'm taking a college course that uses Vizio for Windows. The database course I'm taking teaches you how to set up a mysql database using Vizio as it sets up and labels the Primary Key and Foreign Key that mysql uses. Does Omnigraffle do this as well? I see where Omnigraffle has the "crows foot" line that is proper symbology in a mysql database structure, but can't find out how to do the Primary Key in it.

Does anyone out there with a wifi enabled tv have any idea how to wirelessly display the imac on the tv screen? I figured since they're both wireless it could be done, maybe i'm wrong.

Getting an "Invalid Format" message from my new HDTV (Vizio xvt553sv) when I connect my mac mini. This is a big deal, because the Mac mini is the front end for all my movies and music, which have been digitized. We watch all of our movies on the HDTV through the Mac Mini. So we are movie-less until I get this working.
My Windows 7 laptop shows on the HDTV fine. My mac mini shows on other monitors fine. Some kind of incompatibility between the Mac and the TV. Anyone run into this and have some suggestions?
I have tried all of the TV manufacturer recommended resolution x timing/Hertz settings on the Mac Mini.
Mac Mini model 1.1. , RAM 1.5GB, snow leopard OS, connecting to TV with DVI to VGA connection. (TV only has VGA, HDMI and Component connection.)

I am using a Macbook (white version) and I am using a mini-dvi to vga adapter and its in the highest resolution it will go, and I have tried all the other resolutions as well, and it still does it. The problem is that the screen is acting like its to wide to fit the TV, it cuts off like a fourth of an inch of screen on both sides, and I have no clue if there is a way to fix this, but I reinstalled leopard a while back and thats when I started noticing it.

I run Microsoft OneNote side by side with some mac Apps and often find my self switching between the apps using Leopard spaces on my MBA which is annoying. I want to be able set an external LCD and assign that solely to OneNote, and simultaneously be able to access my OSX apps on my MBA's LCD. So each OS platform has its own window.

What is the Difference between an lcd screen for a Macbook pro 15 A1150 and an A1226? I need to know if I have to buy a A1150 LCD replacement or will any macbook pro 15.4 screen work as long as it is a TFT LCD 1440 by 900. I know the LED screens won't work. The A1226 screens seem more common and easier to find. My model of Macbook is a A1150/MA464LL/A 2.0GHZ.

my friend has a macbook and the screen is cracked. Apple wants $800 to fix, so its not worth that route (its a older macbook). I was wondering if there is a site that has DIY kits for replacing macbook screens? I know they have them for iphones, so I just wanted to see if they had something similar for macbooks.

I'm debating on whether to get a Macbook or Pro, but what's holding me me back is screen quality and resolution. Is the Macbook screen good enough for movies? Does anyone have any pictures comparing it to the Macbook Pro?

what the safest method for cleaning the anti-glare screens is on the unibodies. On my glossy a simple damp lint-free cloth works perfectly, but I have a feeling that over time that method of cleaning may actually rub/ruin the antiglare surface, so I'm a bit worried.

Has anyone seen the 1680x1050 high res screens yet? I'm wondering if they may be too high res, making everything on the screen too small to read.

I recently received my CTO MacBook Pro this afternoon, and I was wondering if Apple has applied an adhesive clear plastic sheet over the new MacBook Pro's display intended to be peeled off. Mine looks as though there may be one to peel off, but I want to make sure before putting too much effort into trying to get it off... Anyone else peel one of these of their new MacBook Pro?

I have dual diaplay's through HDMI, and use this to play dvd's. What I want to do is use the Macbook for other uses and have the sound comming through the macbook, wilst not affecting the sound from the movie being played through the HDMI out put. Currently in the settings for sound outup, all audio will either go through one of the options. How do I split the sound output per program.

I converted a Blu Ray movie and played it on my Mac. I'm actually super impressed how amazing it looks. Full HD movies is the way to go for certain. How does the screen of the MBP compare to the desktop screens and Full HD TV's?

what the weight difference is, for the 15" model? I expect the glossy one is heavier because of the glass. I suppose there might be a small difference between the low-res and high-res screens, to.

My friend has been having trouble with his 15 inch, early 2011 macbook pro. He is running OS X 10.9.4
It seems to work great until he streams media or connects to his school email.
I've taken a picture of what the screen looks like when it last froze while he checked his email:
Shortly after this, he had trouble booting the macbook back up. He would see either a blue screen with light and dark blue vertical lines. He would also boot up the computer and it would be stuck on the white loading screen without the apple logo.
I also have the console logs for the past few bootups:
9/1/14 6:09:13.000 PM bootlog[0]: BOOT_TIME 1409609353 0 9/1/14 6:09:35.000 PM kernel[0]: vm_page_bootstrap: 808086 free pages and 232298 wired pages

One of the biggest reasons why I didn't go for the unibody mbp is because the screen is very loose in my opinion. So loose that when you orient the laptop more than 50-60 degrees vertically, the screen will automatically start folding on itself (which it then stops when the screen reaches a 30~ish degree difference from the bottom)
I like to use my laptop a lot in bed so it is one the biggest gripes. Have Apple come to their senses and tightened the screen?
Ironically, the Apple store representative gave me the biggest BS excuse for this, they told me it was so that the laptop would not lift if you open the screen up.
That is great *BUT* the screen actually gets STIFFER as you move it more towards the base rather than looser which it should be. It's loose from about 30-110 degree, and then from the 0 to 30 degree it's pretty stiff, enough to laughably lift the device. I showed how stupid his logic was by showing him this problem on one of the devices at the store and he's like, well I don't know then.
Anyone with the latest unibody can attest to any change? This isn't a singular problem as I've found it on every single 15 inch macbook pro.
Oh I forgot to mention, this problem only affects the 15inch and maybe 17inch mbp (I haven't tested it on the 17 so I wouldn't know)

I have a late 2009 MBP and love it and now my wife is looking into notebooks as well and I was considering the new MB for her. She doesnt need a backlit keyboard or SD slot as its mainly for web browsing and average use. My question is does the new MacBook have glass over the entire screen/front bezel like my MBP does? I really like that as it makes cleaning the screen a LOT easier and seems to make the colors pop.
