Make sure both the MacBook and projector (or TV) are powered on, and then connect the VGA cable to the adapter. | |
Connect the audio cable to the headphone jack on your laptop. |
|
Go to “System Preferences” which can be found by clicking on the Apple icon in the upper right-hand corner. | |
Select the “Displays” icon. | |
For OS 10.7 or earlier, click on Detect Displays. For OS 10.8, hold down the “option” key and “Gather Windows” will change to “Detect Displays.” |
