MacBook Pro :: Latest MacBook Pro To Television?
Jan 7, 2011
Two questions regarding connecting the latest MacBook Pro and unable to connect to the television...
1. The below connection doesn't seem to work at all (OS or Windows)....
- Using a "Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter"
- Then using a cord which is "HDMI" the other end is "VGA"
- TV input is VGA
[I am gussing perhaps it is either the cord is incompatible, or there is some driver required - which after searching, I am unable to find]
2. If I use Windows, is it possible to get this "Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter" to work ?

I have the latest release of the 13� Macbook Pro. I have searched endlessly on the internet on ways to connect my macbook to an rca inlet on a television but find the information to be outdated or all about hdmi. I would like to run a cable(s) from my mini display port to the rca jack on my television. I only have one HD compatible television so I would like to have a more flexible solution for the rest of the aging televisions in my domicile.

I have had a great macbook for about a year now and decided I want to attach it to my television. So I went to the store and bought this (special mac) cable that has a (I think) mini DVI connection in the computer that leads to a super video (SV) opening. Then I also bought a cable that starts with an SV (which goes into the mac cable) and ends in a scart which goes inside the TV. To the scart and SV cable there is also an audio cable attached which goes into the computer.
When I turn on the TV, I get the sound but nothing to see.. My computer doesn't detect an external display. I've tried everything: see if the cables are in well, put them in different in- and outputs, turn both the television as the computer on and off, mess with the computer's system preferences and the television's preferences.. And I've also looked on forums and I've just gone clueless!

I'm trying to connect my Macbook Pro to my tube TV. I connected the DVI to Video adapter to an S-video cable and connected the S-video cable to the TV. The television is not recognizing the Macbook Pro - the screen stays black. Do I need to change the settings on the TV or the Macbook Pro?

I have a Macbook Aluminum and want to use my LCD TV as a monitor. I went to the Apple sotre yesterday and the guy said no problem just hook these up (I know it's video only not audio). So he gave me Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter and the Belkin DVI to HDMI cable. Plugged it in set the TV to the HDMI an all I'm getting is my background on the TV. When I go to any other program like itunes, safari, anything nothing shows up.

I have a 24" imac that is about 9 months old and running on version: 10.5.7 OS X. I have my imac in one room in my house and the TV in the lounge. I have the use of my apple tv and the apple time machine which is all rigged up in the lounge next to the TV. I would like to have my imac connected to my TV so that I have on the TV my usual imac screen and can use the same as though i am at my imac. I would like it connected wirelessly. Is there a way that i can use the devices i currently have in place to do this, (apple tv, time machine), or do i need other equipment to do this.

As the title says, my Macbook Air running freaking amazingly hot ever since the latest Mac Update. Any ideas, I can't find anything in the Activity monitor that could be causing my Macbook to be running so hot.

I recently gave in and bought a Macbook Air (1.6, 80) on Saturday night and installed parallels on Sunday night through an electronic download. I have read on this forum that many people had kernel panic issues that were solved through a recent patch made by the Parallels team. Since I downloaded Parallels after the patch was made, is it necessary to still download the fix?

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 am trying to figure out for certain, does the newest 13" MacBook Pro model with Nvidia 320M graphics support OpenCL out of the box? I would guess that it does, but I haven't found a clear answer for it anywhere. The 9400M on the previous model is mentioned as OpenCL-supported.

I recently obtained a Mac mini to use with my Sony LCD projection television (model number KDF-E55A20). To connect the two, I used a standard DVI to HDMI conversion cable. The picture looks great. I have connected the standard audio output of the mini to the audio portion of the HDMI port (#6) on the television using a cable that changes from the audio-out to RCA (red and white) cables. (I'm sorry I don't know what the name of this sort of cable is, but I know it is very standard).
The problem: I get no sound! To troubleshoot I connected my Powerbook G4 to the same HDMI port (using the provided adapter to connect to the same DVI to HDMI cable). Once I plug in the same audio cable as I tried to use with my mini, I get both picture and sound. It seems that the television inactivates the audio input component of the HDMI port if it picks up what it thinks is an HDMI input (since it is supposed to carry audio). But it is only getting DVI! So the problem is not with the mini as it produces audio normally. There's a setting (hopefully not hard-wired) with the Sony to inactivate the audio-in on HDMI input.

I have a Mac Mini, and recently I buy a television by Sony 3d (46"). For my surprise, the television don't accept the signal from Mac Mini. On the screen appears the message (Signal Incompatible). I change all configurations, but nothing. I call to Sony and they don't have idea about the problem.

I decided to install all the latest updates last night on my Macbook and it seems now that the fan is constantly on... I think the latest update was 10.5 (anyway whatever the latest one was). I have gone into the activity app and everything seems to be fine there, in fact the top thing running was the activity app itself. I am used to the fan cutting in when I am watching a movie etc but something seems to be up.

I have a late 2007 Macbook Pro and I am looking to upgrade to a new computer.
I would like the new computer to be able to play Dragon Age on a high setting.
I am no expert with graphic cards and specs so I would like some advice on whether the latest top-end 17" Macbook Pro can handle this game. The below is the recommended specs for dragon age:
Dragon Age RECOMMENDED SPECS
* CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz Processor or equivalent
* RAM: 4 GB (Vista) or 2 GB (XP)
* VIDEO: ATI 3850 512 MB or greater
NVIDIA 8800GTS 512 MB or greater
AMD Phenom II X3 Triple-Core 2.8 GHz or greater
DVD ROM (Physical copy)
20 GB HD space
If the macbook pro cannot handle the game on a high setting, should I consider the new top-end setting 27" imac, will that be able to handle this game on MAX setting?
