[GomlTurkey]

Do you know why when I go to sound, my HD TV doesn't appear on the menu?

[Kaniela1986]

Two questions:

1) Can you just have your TV as the display and have the macbook screen off?

2) Can you use the TV as a second monitor?

[ghostuwi]

@DrGrovesvideos Is your adapter still working today ?

[koherrin]

This worked perfectly well. Thanks for the refresher

[roslee7]

I'm running lion. How come i don't have mirror display check out box in my mbp preference?

[alcx112]

Is it possible to turn off the screen of the macbook while it is connected to my LCD?

[TheHondaJay]

does this work on mac book air



[Smolderas]

Found out that a mini display adaptor will work on my macbook air 2011 thunderbolt port, so if I buy this, will it also work on a tv?

[RubenDarioFilms]

Worked great, Thanks so much!

[MuhCigs]

thanks man, nice touch with the four year strong.

[SCHIZOPHRENlC]

I like how almost everyone is a brand new Mac user... nobody's been a user for more than 2 years... it's ridiculous. Where are all my classic users!?

[jayblaze2007]

What is the black/grey cable you connected to the HDMI adapter? Do i have to but that one too??

[yamenalawnah]

[bradchristianson]

Any suggestions if HDMI does not show up under System Preferences - Sound?

[Mytube13videos]

Thnk you so much, I Saved a lot on not buying the apple t.v 8-)

[ahallsk8s]

There's no "Arrangement" tab in system preferences after I select Display. I'm using the same connection as you - mini display port to HDMI adapter connected to the HDMI cable in my tv (Sharp Aquos). Using a Macbook Pro. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[steelo86]

Thank you - this was extremely helpful. Unfortunately I haven't found a way for the audio for movies played in LC player to transfer to the TV. Do you know how to do this? Thanks!

[bluedrangon69]

hey buddy how about the 2011 model mac book pro?

[DJamessingin4122]

step 4 everything stopped

[nabilaffan]

Thank you so much your video helped me :)

[wataaaa1]

my mac isnt showing my tv as an output source. how to do i get it to show up?

[emma31045]

this works so well!!!!! thank you so much!

[evbattaglia]

To determine if your Mac will allow audio output, follow this: Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Info > Hardware > Audio (Built In) If it says "HDMI Output or HDMI/Display Port Output” your MBP is supposed to support audio out via an appropriate MDP to HDMI adapter. If yes, then go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > Type: HDMI. Then you should be ready.

[boomblood245]

[aboodtube]

how about the home theatre

[DrGrovesvideos]

@aboodtube

With my Bose home theatre the HDMI works the same.

It depends what system you have. When you go to Sound output your system may show up.

[dlumbreras90]

@aboodtube u should be able to plug an optical cable from the tv to the surround sound

[22bikis]

I followed the steps but my sony tv wont display my mac pro sreen. Is there a setting that the tv needs to be on, because the computer identifies the sony tv?

[LordFabianshire]

I liked this tutorial. I followed the instructions but my attempts were not successful. The reason I found was that it is not the minidisplayport that is the problem, but the year of the computer. Macs before 2010 cannot use this method will need additional wires to make this work.

[DrGrovesvideos]

@LordFabianshire Yes true. Only after a certain production date does the Minidisplay port support sound. On top of that only some cables support sound.

Good luck!

[mattchahine]

hhaa love the movie voice haha

[nateberkheimer]

Im having the same issue as @DJTONYBEE1 and im on a brand new 17" MacbookPro. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[DrGrovesvideos]

@nateberkheimer

Since you are on a brand new Macbook Pro, it should support sound through minidisplay.

So if your TV isn't showing up when you go to sound preferences, your minidisplay to HDMI adapter doesnt support sound.

Where did you buy yours from?

[DJTONYBEE1]

Hey quick question.

Im runnin on a macbook pro. and in step 5 when u click for sound

mine only shows.

Internal speakers - built in

but youre shows

Internal speakers built in and

hdmi pro i believe...

[DrGrovesvideos]

@DJTONYBEE1

What year was your macbook pro made?

Either you purchased an adapter that wont support sound or your computer doesnt support sound output through hdmi.

Are you getting video to work?
