Macbook Pro HMDI to HDTV LCD

[matypete1]

you are a god among men. thank you

[videosyoulove]

@matypete1 haha Thanks I appreciate it!!

[ChoralCode]

How did the Belkin mini Display port to HDMI adapter hold up? I keep reading negative reviews of people saying that it broke after 3 months. Just curious if there are other options. Though I like the fact that you don't need a second adapter for the sound component.

Very entertaining at the beginning with the chipmunk sounds :) Alvin!!!!

[videosyoulove]

@ChoralCode I have also read all the bad reviews but mine is still working perfect. My grand baby plays Angry Birds on my Macbook Pro via the 55 inch HD TV and he loves it. Oh and yep I was a chipmunk in my other life!! lol

[binha210]

Honestly, most helpful video. Thanks buddy.

[videosyoulove]

@binha210 Very welcome

[cc22ful]

when I click on output it only says internal speakers. anyone has the same problem or wanna help??

[videosyoulove]

@cc22ful That might mean your adapter doesn't support sound...some do and some do not.

[videosyoulove]

@TheFrozenSnowy Not real sure about that but will try to look into it

[Gungursoy1]

great you helped out a lot



[modi6777]

best explanation thx a lot

[glassywoman]

I bought it September 2011. It's a MacBook Pro 15".

Thanks for your help.

[SamKlug2]

when i plugged in my adapter cord to my Mac, the little icon in the top bar did not appear and my screen only shows the background screen saver on the tv. no icons appeared either

[videosyoulove]

@SamKlug2 Click on Mirrored display

[razzo161]

@SamKlug2 go system preferences->displays->arrange­ment and either click mirror displays or drag the grey bar onto the other display in that same menu

[joshtemplin3]

I still know what your voice sounds like, by your accent and your hands...

[videosyoulove]

@joshtemplin3 :)

[glassywoman]

I've got a Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter with an HDMI cord but the computer screen does not show up on the flat screen. When I go into Display under System Preferences, I do not have all of the options that you show.

[videosyoulove]

@glassywoman How old is your Mac?

[medceltic]

You F***ing Brilliant man, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. others are all Wakers, ding AD for Mac pro, I love you video, you deserve a hot girl with you as well. xx

[NYCsantiagoMusic]

Great video man. I was wrecking my brain trying to figure this out. Thanks again.

[videosyoulove]

@NYCsantiagoMusic Welcome and thanks for watching! :)

[Nathancolburn]

the sound didn't work

[videosyoulove]

@Nathancolburn Some HDMI adapters do not transfer sound so make sure the one you got does first before you go any further

[thepapiulookin]

do u know if i could watch netflix on this way and will it play in full HD?

[videosyoulove]

@thepapiulookin I have use it with Xfinity TV with comcast and it works so I would think nextflix would also.

[Breaestmoi]

[videosyoulove]

@Maree131 Welcome

[TrevOwnz89]

"Tell me what you want to see" I wish I got that at home more often haha.

Great video. I would have recommended playing a movie and showing the difference between the sound coming from the MacBook (older models) and coming through the HDMI (this model).

[videosyoulove]

@TrevOwnz89 Ahh good idea thanks

[Susu777Boo]

Thank you ! that was so helpful ! <3

[videosyoulove]

@danielito28013003 Very Welcome

[TheFashionstation]

Why is it that i cant seem to have sound

and the HDMI does not come up on sound output to click on

[videosyoulove]

@TheFashionstation Some of the connectors do not handle sound so hopefully you do not have one that does not transfer sound.

[papiaaa]

finally!!!! other stupid videos just showed where to put the cables.. like i am a fucking idiot. THANK YOU.

[videosyoulove]

@papiaaa Your welcome!! :)

[MrJadedragon88]

[videosyoulove]

@MrJadedragon88 Very Welcome

[LetMeMystiWestifyYou]

dude, you are a lifesaver. i couldn't figure out how to work the audio and it was really disappointing me! i also hated the fact that the icons wouldn't show! best vid ever! thumbs up to you for sharing this knowledge with the rest of us! :)

[videosyoulove]

@LetMeMystiWestifyYou Your very welcome!! Thanks for watching it.

[4leafclovers402]

@videosyoulove i have the same tv but when i plug mine in the image on the screen is not full there is about an inch of black on each side. I've tried messing with the tv settings and nothing. did yours just fit to screen automatically?

[videosyoulove]

@4leafclovers402 You need to set it to 720p

[josephbison]

nice job i just bought it now

[videosyoulove]

@josephbison thanks

[likeGT51990]

Perfect Video ;)

[videosyoulove]

@likeGT51990 Thanks

[longhorn6093]

@videosyoulove This was really good, I'm just not sure what I should set my settings at to get rid of the inch wide black bar on the sides of my 32" LCD Samsung. In my display settings on the Mac, it says "Usable Resolution 1280x800," but it's not selectable in the list right above it. Any suggestions?

[TheSkateboardzac]

Thanks man this helped a bunch!!!!!!!

[videosyoulove]

@TheSkateboardzac Welcome!! :)

[d33viant]

Great help!!! thank you very much.

[videosyoulove]

@d33viant Welcome!! :)

[toy2ify]

i have a problem, my tv has no problems but my mac is missing about a centimeter on the top and bottom. is there a way i can fix that so that they both look equal?

[videosyoulove]

@toy2ify Well you have to set your display on the Mac to 720p even if you have a 1080p tv. And then I also have mine set at 1280 X 800

[toy2ify]

@videosyoulove thanks. i have mine set at 1080i and it works great

[paulace2372]

Thank you very much, without helpful people like you - guys like me would still be struggling! Your help is much appreciated! My daughter will now be able to see her Daddy on the big screen when I'm out serving my country in Afghanistan! thank you again!

[klmross91]

THANK YOU! You have saved me a lot of time!

[videosyoulove]

@klmross91 :)

[edenweaver]

Thanks for the video! It helped me get the video going...halfway there anyway. What macbook pro are you using? I'm on a 15" OS X version 10.6.8. and am having problems with the audio. When I go to the Sound output I don't see an HDMI option. Is there a way to add it an an audio output?

[claydiscuss]

Cheers bro,you helped me out with my problems, yesssss so stoked

[videosyoulove]

@claydiscuss Glad it helped you.

[emokidrell]

so unnecessary -_-

[19ny88]

Thanks for posting awesome video!!! easy step by step process. Thanks again.

[videosyoulove]

@19ny88 You Are Welcome

[godsbassgirl]

Thanks for posting this video. I could not figure out why I could not get a picture. Two hours later I found your video. Hey, it works .....Thanks so much for your help!!!

[videosyoulove]

@godsbassgirl Very Welcome

[MrScssrhnd]

Thanks for the info. Since you want suggestions on improving your videos, I'd say that instead of making a 10 min vid for something so simple, cut it down to 3 min or so. quick and easy and to the point.

[videosyoulove]

@MrScssrhnd Thanks for watching I appreciate the input.

[domedparker101]

helped me a lot, thankyou!

[videosyoulove]

@domedparker101 Welcome

[monritu]

hi, how did you get your dashboard icon on the dock? the video was a great help, by the way.

[videosyoulove]

@monritu You should be able to go to your application folder and just drag it to your dock.

[MississippiStateFTW]

you can get it on amazon for $5

[videosyoulove]

@MississippiStateFTW Yeah I found one on there the other day real cheap. I guess they have came way down since I bought mine.

[MississippiStateFTW]

@videosyoulove yeah apple just needs to make it where the sound is transported to the tv through the hdmi cord as well

[domedparker101]

@MississippiStateFTW can you send me the link for this $5 adapter please? :) thanks

[videosyoulove]

@MississippiStateFTW Here is the link but the $5 version does not transmit sound amazon.com/Consumer-Electronic­s-mini-displayport-hdmi-Displa­yPort-to-HDMI/dp/B002AHAP4M/re­f=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=132651839­9&sr=8-7

[yahwallina]

Thank you SOOO MUCH! this video helped! 

[videosyoulove]

@yahwallina Welcome

[apple8kamk]

yes I know the quality is poor but take kannman for what you have and not a € 1,000 buy Dispaly with a glass surface. Looks good but is Neviges: D

[apple8kamk]

[LouisMFNray]

This video really helped me out!! Pretciate it!

[videosyoulove]

@LouisMFNray Glad it could help you!! :)

[mopage19]

You say Belkin in the comments. It says Moshi on the box. Do you know what you bought?

[videosyoulove]

@mopage19 You know I got mad when I read this at first but I watched the video (made it so long ago couldn't remember much about it) and noticed you were right. I am not sure how I made that mistake! I ordered the Belkin Adapter and I guess Apple sent me the wrong one and me (being stupid I guess) never paid attention to it. I am still trying to figure out how I made that error!! But anyway thanks for pointing that out to me. I guess it all works the same but still....sorry about that!!

[Jzzmus]

Heh, awesome, I clicked the HDMI setting when you told me to, and then your voice came over my TV with, "And then you're all set." You're the best, man. Thanks for taking your time to make this.

[Gamatov]

Thank you! It helped me. I just got a MacBook Pro, I'm a beginner :)

[nowaas66]

Very nice video but you need more lighting in the room. This mini display-port good for Audio and video ? Thanks

[videosyoulove]

@nowaas66 Yep the new one from apple supports both audio and video.

[MrKennon07]

[videosyoulove]

[NinaEgaa]

Whaats with the voice? I really hope this helps if i have to watch the whole video. :D

[videosyoulove]

@NinaEgaa lol I never thought anyone would watch the video when I made it so I decided to make a crazy voice for some reason.. lol But it seems the video has helped a lot of people so next time I guess I will be all serious!! lol

[shooting05]

[MEJB7]

You should have done a test with the audio dude!!!

[gunzupnolia]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!



[barcelona8882]

can you close the cover of the macbook i can't do that

[videosyoulove]

@barcelona8882 I haven't tried that but will have to see what happens.

[TheSzabii]

THANK U MAN:-)))))U SAVED MY COMPUTER OF BEEING SMASHED:-)))))

[videosyoulove]

@TheSzabii haha your welcome!!

[IAmTheDealMaster]

You did good brother!! I did it and it worked beautifully. Only thing is, the dvd I burned played in a subset of the mac monitor which displayed similarly on my hdtv. It is a function of my macbook pro which I need to investigate, or it may that that's just the way it is.

Thank you very much!! Well done.

[IAmTheDealMaster]

btw, I got a cable to go directly from my mac to tv, no adapter business. From amazon.com White Mini Display Port to HDMI Cable/Adapter (6 Feet / 1.8M) $8.61 delivered to my door. Good price.

[videosyoulove]

@IAmTheDealMaster Yeah that is a real good price!!

[videosyoulove]

@IAmTheDealMaster Glad it worked for you

[BilWil1963]

Thank you very much!...I was glad to see you addressed the audio issue with the hdmi cable....I hope it works as simply for me!

[videosyoulove]

@BilWil1963 Your welcome and good luck!!

[zlatarev]

Thank you so much, man! I was close on buying a cable for the sound to work.

Great job!

[videosyoulove]

@zlatarev Your welcome

[jchaiseesiri]

Thank you very much. I will take your advise.

[videosyoulove]

@jchaiseesiri :)

[beldavenport6]

Great video very clear and concise, odd voice at the beginning though. Our MacBook Pro 5,4 which is earlier than mid-2010. Can you please add that you need an audio cable as well, still not solved which audio cable, but picture works perfectly thanks

[videosyoulove]

@beldavenport6 Thanks for watching. I will add that to the video as soon as I can get some free time from work. Thanks I appreciate it.

[RippTheDon]

thanks

@Endagr8 Your welcome. :)

[natlaverde]

Thanks!! This helped a lot ... however i can't get the audio to work ... i don't get the hdmi option ... would you know why this might not be working? thanks again!

[videosyoulove]

@natlaverde Some adapters do not transfer sound so you will have to make sure the one you bought does have that option.

[MrNiceAssassin]

When I went to output sound, the hdmi was not in the options. Can someone help me. I did exactly what he did, but I'm still not able to use audio.
