How to: Connect a MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro to a TV
MRoogle is sometimes referred to as some kind of search engine, but I don't really trust it, as it finds too many iPhone threads when using the letter "i".

connecting macbook to tv
I'm also trying to conncect a 2-4 year old macbook to a hdtv. I have a mini dvi to hdmi adapter, and have that mac plugged into my tv using an hdmi port. for sound, i bought a red/white audio cable and plug that into my mac headphone outlet but do not have sound. could use some help on this. i also have a home theater connected to the tv as well.
Any thoughts/remedies? i'm new to the thread.

A 2 to 4 year old MacBook can be a lot of MacBook models, but I assume it is the white one with Mini DVI.
Have you taken a look at one of the links I provided (and quoted again for un-scrolliness)?
Your TV, which can be many models, maybe is not capable of having the image coming via HDM and the sound via analog inputs. Have you taken a look at the manual of your TV to verify that? Or find a solution?
Anyway, when I had a TV I always used an external Hi-Fi receiver to play the audio along the video on a TV, so maybe that "home theatre" thing can be used to play external audio while you play video on the TV?
