My macbook doesn't have the Airplay icon option to click on in the Display section. Is this because it's older than the macbook you are using in this video?

@danjsilve Ай бұрын

Same here, and we can no longer connect via HDMI, Apple want their customers to buy Apple monitors and not use our tv as a monitor. I can’t use Mirror sharing either.

I was having trouble using my Samsung Smart HDTV as an external display while trying to watch movies with my Apple TV app on my Mac book. I didn't want to Airplay with my MacBook, as I wanted to use an HDMI cable from my laptop directly to my TV. Whenever I tried to watch a movie on my HDTV I would get a message saying that it couldn't because of HDCP issues. I then decided to download the movies to my computer and to my surprise I was then able to view the movies with no problem. In the process I made sure that I went to my account setting on Apple TV app on my laptop and authorized my computer with my Apple ID. Not sure which process solved the problem. So if downloading movies solved the problem, or authorizing my account within the Apple TV app solved the problem it worked. Hope this will help folks who are having similar issues while trying to stream movies on an external display.

Bruh just watch in your phone.

@Babblingboolean 24 күн бұрын

You mean RCA ports? I'm a bit late here to comment but like someone else suggested, you're better off using your phone or laptop. RCA would degrade a ton of video quality due to how old it is. If you're curious of the solution you would need an RCA to (whatever your computer port is) connector. However, finding CRA adapters is a bit tricky due to the old technology.

Good video and explanation, just a quick question. If I wanted to do this and close the MacBook and get a wireless mouse and keyboard would I just be able to leave the macbook closed and just use the Tv or will it turn off once I close it ? Thanks in advance.

yes! just make sure the Mac is connected to power

Hello. First of all, thank you for this, it is helpful. I have a question. I was watching a movie last night on my tv. I connected my MacBook to the tv via HDMI, but how do I get the MacBook display to turn off while I watch something on my tv? Is this even possible? It was possible o my old windows computer. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you!

@Babblingboolean Жыл бұрын

Just about any option using a wire from the Mac to the tv will be fine. However, if your internet is slow and the video is choppy, then that's a network issue.

I assumed latency is better for wired methods?

@walterreed5849 Жыл бұрын

Instead of an adapter, for the wired method can you use a single cable that at one end has a USB-C fitting and the other end has an HDMI fitting and connect directly? I’m trying to connect my MacBook Pro to my projector and wanted to know if this would work

I think it should work, one problem might be length. But you can always use an hdmi extender (15$ at Walmart)

@gustavodlosrios Жыл бұрын

Which method is better to pass the signal, hdmi to usb c or hdmi to hdmi?

@Babblingboolean Жыл бұрын

Hard to say. USB-C has multiple versions, so does HDMI ex. HDMI 2.0, 2.1, etc. Unfortunately what should be simple, can be complicated. If you're not concerned with mirroring the best quality of your Mac (from mirroring a movie or something), don't overthink it. Research a good quality solution with good customer reviews, that is easiest for you and use it. If it's no good, then return it.

Can you watch movies on Netflix, Disney etc. with USB-C to HDMI cable? Everything is ok until you want to do that. You will have a sound but no video. Do you have a solution for that??

@Fernando-vp5zg Жыл бұрын

when doing the wired method, could the sound come from the mac instead of tv? or is it only strictly from the tv

@QuidProQuo911 10 ай бұрын

Whichever view you choose, for instance as long as the TV is mirroring the Mac then sound will automatically play from the TV, but I’m sure you can alter sound output in the settings via the Mac

@Babblingboolean 20 күн бұрын

Technically yes but your Mac might still act like the main screen if it's set to expand the display and not duplicate. If that happens, you would need to find a method to make the TV as the main display.
