    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

I have a late 2011 macbook pro. I want to output my display to a tv for playing a slideshow at a church which doesn't have a dvd player. How do I do this? i don't wanna have a wireless connection. I prefer something wired. Thanks!!

Is the TV at church HDMI?

If so...

Step 1: Get a thunderbolt to HDMI adaptor.

Step 2: Connect an HDMI cable from the adaptor to an HDMI port on your TV.

Step 3: Press input or source on your TV remote to switch to the HDMI input.

Step 4: You should now see the desktop background on your TV and can drag applications over to it. If you want your MacBook display and TV to show the exact same thing (much better for TV and movie watching), set your Mac for "mirror mode."

Step 5: To get audio going through the TV speakers, click System Preferences and then Sound. In the "Output" list in the middle, look for "HDMI" or the name of your TV and click it.
