[QUOTE="DiamondZlasT, post: 1369415, member: 216015"] So i have a small problem with trying to connect my 2011 13.3 MacBook Pro (i7 version) to my 32" HCT HDTV (is an ATSC +NTSC System, 1080p Input). This is my first attempt to connect my MacBook to an HDTV... Today i bought a Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter and connected it to my MacBook and HDTV. When I connected it, all that pops up is the Original Apple wallpaper. I can see my dock when i scroll over it. But none of my programs are can pull up at all. Also, the Apple Bar up top, (Finder, File, Edit etc...) isnt showing. -The Resolution is 1280x1080. -I have the adapter plugged into my HDMI & Thunderbolt ports. I thought that that'd be the only cable i'd need & that'd it'd be quick and simple... I'm also guessing that the Mini Display Port to HDMI Adapter isn't the Cable i need? Will i need a separate cable for sound too? What settings do I need to configure if i need to? How do i fix this? If anyone can please help me out, I'd appreciate it. Thanks -diamond [/QUOTE]
